We’ve never had a bad meal at Valenca. Their servers are ver friendly and the food is outstanding! It’s a shame that we don’t live closer or we would definitely eat there more often. 10 stars ⭐️
I have been going to this restaurant for the last 20 years. The last three times I was there. The food was either cold or prepared incorrectly. I personally do not like hot pepper in my food and they constantly sneak it in and then when I complain about it and have them they just rinse it with water and give it back to me, which is not acceptable not for the price today. I am paying for food. Sorry Valencia has gone downhill and they have lost a customer that has been very faithful...read full review
Very fond memories of a dear, old friend of mine who passed away several years ago.
Whenever he came back to Jersey we'd have to stop here! He loved their paella!
Even though I'm not close by anymore, we still come here a few times a year.
The food is great, the wines are great, the service is great, the staff is great, the atmosphere is great, the decor in the dining room is great.... there's nothing I can say that isn't great!!!

Valenca is a grand restaurant located in New Jersey that offers a great dining experience. The food, including the popular Paella Valencia, is excellent and plentiful, with portions that can be shared by multiple people. The Rib Eye steak is particularly praised for its generous portion and great taste. The staff are friendly and attentive, contributing to a memorable experience.
The restaurant provides free valet parking, with additional street parking available. However, the layout can be a bit confusing, with two bars and the need to go upstairs to find the dining area. It can also get quite loud and crowded, especially on weeknights due to events and graduation parties.
Customers have expressed satisfaction with their meals, highlighting the great service and ambiance. The seafood is also highly regarded, with the octopus being cooked to perfection and full of flavor. The menu offers a wide variety of options, catering to different tastes and preferences.
Overall, Valenca is a nice and grand restaurant that is worth trying for those craving Portuguese cuisine in the area.
