Blossom Asian Bistro — Restaurant in Mount Arlington

Honestly, I used to like this place for its good food and nice service. Now I believe they have flown below the belt with their quality. I went to dinner tonight, and granted, yes, it was a Monday. The waitress we had was, um, let’s put this nicely, very angry for some reason I’ll never know. Quick to give us hot tea but waiting around to even bother to come back to us. Came back finally after waiting, mind you, Togo orders got that, but still. She was extremely short with us. The sad thing was that before we even ordered, we were going to leave. We didn’t, which we should've; we decided to stay. I started with soup and a roll and some other things, which were very flavorless; maybe the soup was the only good thing I ate. Then, during our time, the server was yelling at another employee about something that had happened. Just bad vibes, sorry to say. The double treat was flavorless except for the walnut sauce; the chicken was chewy, and the curry ordered was very oily. We had asked for two cokes, and let me tell you, I work in the food industry. They tasted like Co2 or something was off very chemical taste. When we told our server, the other server tried soda, and I watched them literally spit it right out in disgust. I asked for the check after the experience was ruined. Food stays on the table where it belongs. To add to all the disappointment, all the staff were coughing and sniffling their noses, which is great when it comes to the fact that they are the ones handing my food. Bonus points for you, Blossom. You lost my service. Sorry to say, keep open with your togos; that’s about it. My partner and I both work in the industry; if they just put in more effort with their food and attitude, maybe we wouldn't have been the only...

Came here for lunch with some coworkers. You definitely should focus on the lunch specials! That's where you'll get the most for your money. I ordered the teriyaki chicken bento box that came with soup or salad. I was surprised by the decent sized soup bowl. Bigger than what similar restaurants offer in the area. My bento box was decent, a good variety as what is expected in bento boxes.

I had saved some of my teriyaki chicken for lunch the next day and something interesting happened. My chicken tasted like curry the next day. It didn't taste at all like curry the day I ordered it but on the second day, it definitely tasted like curry. Even my coworker who ordered the same thing as I, confirmed tasting curry. Very odd.

But anyway, back to my experience at Blossom that day: I'm always very appreciative of the wait staff when I'm part of a big table. Our waitress was attentive and pleasant. And there's a $5 minimum for credit cards, but that shouldn't...

I am quite a sushi fanatic and have been to countless sushi restaurants. I can say in all honesty and without hesitation that this place is the best sushi place I have ever been to. This place exceeds in every category - price, quality, service, and ambiance. Despite its unlikely and hidden location, it people are steadily realizing that not even the high profile New York restaurants can compete with the unyielding and consistent extraordinary deliciousness of Blossom. I have tried a little bit of everything the menu has to offer and found their entire selection to be far above average - but their sushi is where they really shine. In a way, I kind of hope nobody finds my over-the-top fanaticism to be sincere, because the line starting to creep out the door onto the sidewalk lately and I'd rather not wait for my sushi. So yea, please ignore everything...
