Daikichi - Montclair

Something has happened to Daikichi! New chef? New Owner? Everything was off in our last order. The baby bok choi was overcooked and the liquid had a poor taste. The shumai was stiff and dry maybe reheated from frozen. The nabyaki udon was made with chicken cubes so hard and dry almost inedible. The egg was a hardboiled mixture of yolk and white and the broth was just tasteless. I could go on but you get the point. Can only hope this is a temporary thing.

Montclair Staple, Dining room is closed for remodel but take out is amazing

I drove one hour each way to pickup Japanese food from Dai for my wife birthday..Great food

It’s unbelievable they’re still only doing take out since Covid began. It’s almost like they don’t want the business. Definitely lost a customer. Used to be my favorite sushi spot but I’m not coming all the way to Upper Montclair for take out.

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 of everything at a fair price. Go for it!
