Daikichi - Montclair

Very consistent place! I have been a client for over 6 years, and they kept high quality, even during lockdown times. Sushi/sashimi are better options than heated dishes. Dinner bento boxes offer you multiple options to try a little bit ofeverything at a fair price. Go for it!

We?ve been eating from and in Daikichi since we moved to Montclair in the 1990?s. Our favorite sushi. Fast delivery and very good food. We love this place!

We used to go to Dai Kichi when it was located in the downstairs space below where it is now. We enjoyed many meals there and brought our young kids who loved it. They also had a liquor license so we would order sake and/or beer with our meals. It was the place in Upper Montclair we would run into neighbors often and always had a good time. About 2018 things started to godownhill. We were given a gift card and had misplaced it for a while and when it was located it was expired. Most places thesedays by law or just because it is fair will still honor gift cards after their expiration. We called ahead and asked whetherthis would be the case and were assured it would be honored. We had a good meal but they would not take the gift card. The ownercame over to tell us this and apologized that we were told otherwise, offered a 10% discount instead. A friend spent real onthe gift card and evidently the restaurant just kept it. We weren't happy but the owner wouldn't budge. Since then we avoidDai Kichi. They sold their liquor license and took over the Upstairs place after it closed we heard it is the same owner.Since the pandemic they have remained takeout only while virtually every other restaurant opened for full service. It is a shamethat such a lovely location in our special Upper Montclair Village remains unopened. Also disappointed we lost a liquor licensewhich was taken out of the neighborhood. We now go a bit further for takeout sushi from Koshi in Watchung Plaza which is just astasty but less expensive. We might try Dai Kichi again but not until they open up for dine in.

Clean delicious quality sushi. Seems to be take out only for the moment.

Since they remodeled, they have gotten way to skimpy with food, i paid almost $90 work of food for 4 house salads and maybe 4 rolls. The food was not enough for 2 people... way too over priced for what you get, pick another place for sushi
