“We’ve become “regulars” at this wonderful restaurant, soon after they became kosher. We visit regularly, and get takeout pretty often. The food is great! It’s consistent and just SO tasty. And the staff… Absolutely terrific!!!”

“Was impressed with the decor, service and food. The BBQ burger was cooked perfectly! Made with fresh meat (not frozen formed patty) - not sure whst the English would be but I know it in Yiddish as “hockfleish.” The BBQ sauce added to the taste of the meat without being overpowering and the onion, pickle, lettuce and the challah bun were all extremely fresh. Looking forward to coming back snd trying the other choices!”

“This review is for the food window in the back, The Twisted Nook. I love Pino’s, it is the best neighborhood spot. The Twisted Nook is delicious!!! Fresh, high quality, good value food.

“A huge thank you to DeeDee’s Pizza for sponsoring food for our Diwali events this year! 🍕✨ Your generosity and community spirit is truly appreciated, and we’re so grateful for your support.

I personally order from DeeDee’s all the time — their pizzas are always fresh, and absolutely delicious — and it meant so much to have them be a part of our community celebrations this year. 💛

A special shoutout to Jack, who was wonderful to work with — kind, responsive, and so eager to help. Every time we reach out, DeeDee’s is ready to give back to community through the amazing food they have and that says so much about who they are as a business.

Thank you, DeeDee’s Pizza, for your amazing food, kindness, and generosity — you helped make our Diwali celebrations even more special! 🙏🌟”

“Food is always delicious! We always order the Peking Duck ahead of time. We had the delicious duck, skillet fish, lotus root, shrimp fried rice, and dan dan noodles. Everything was cooked to our liking, not too spicy! BYOB. We had a 6:30 reservation, every table was filled on a Friday night. The duck is better than at Peking Duck NYC. Servers are really nice. Thank you!”

“Penstock is great. Their tea is awesome and it always hits the spot. Also, the staff is very helpful and down to Earth.”

“We had lunch at the new restaurant in Highland Park. We had the falafel plate which had great flavor and was very filling. My sister had a slice of pizza which she said was really good. The new place is a vast improvement over the old store in East Brunswick.”

“Great my favorite place to get the Boba tea”

“We have Used Mordys To cater our son’s bar mitzvah, and the food was fresh and delicious.
The bagels were one of the best ones we’ve ever had. The platters looked beautiful. The ordering process and the help with figuring out quantities was pleasant and helpful.
Happy with our experience.
Definitely will use again for a next event. Highly recommend.”

“First time back since 1973! Even better than I remember it. California cheese burger, fries and a soda. Served up in about 3 or 4 minutes, hot and fresh. I will not wait another 50 years to go back! LOL”

“For those that know me, there has been a legend I’ve spoken of many times. Once upon a time, there was a place which provided me with some of my best culinary memories ever. This legendary place was called Mr. Pi’s Sushi Restaurant in Metuchen, NJ. Almost ten years of amazing experiences I had accumulated there. However, one day this place of legend had eventually relocated and, in the years that followed, I spoke of, and daydreamed of, this legendary place quite often. Then, over a decade later, I accidentally find out that they have relocated back to the area near me. My sheer joy, the smile from ear to ear, the absolute excitement, was so intense it was practically palpable. Speaking of palpable… in their journey before returning to Middlesex County, in Highland Park this time around, they have made their menu even BETTER, which seems almost impossible for a place so legendary, but it’s true. They are the best version of themselves they’ve EVER been! If sushi restaurants have a glow up era, they most definitely are at the summit of it, and will most certainly remain there, as legends do. Welcome to Mr. Pi’s 3.0! Placing a restaurant into legendary status is neither something I do easily, haphazardly nor willy nilly. For, you see, I have quite literally tried sushi all over the world. I’ve had sushi in Europe, the UK, the South Pacific, Australia, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and yes, Japan. I’ve had sushi in (almost) every one of the 50 states, except for those states in which I just didn’t feel like risking my health by trying the sushi. Of all these places I’ve been to, all over the world, NOWHERE compares to Mr. Pi’s! They are the truest of diamonds, valuable beyond imagination! In an area of NJ where you can barely walk a block without finding yet another sushi restaurant, Mr. Pi’s OUTSHINES every single one of them, by far! What makes a place so legendary? Their food, first and foremost, is TOP TIER, ALWAYS FRESH, HIGH QUALITY, and BEAUTIFULLY, quite STUNNINGLY, PLATED! Great food alone, although amazing, does not grant legendary status. This next part is where many restaurants sadly fall short these days. SERVICE and HOSPITALITY are an art form that not many have mastered the way owner Jeannette and Sushi Maestro Pi have perfected it. They welcome each and every guest with the warmest of greetings, most genuine of smiles, and truly heartfelt interests in giving their customers a PREMIUM experience. How they are able to remember so many people by name is a talent so challenging it’s practically pure magic in and of itself. After even just a second visit, you will already feel like you are home when you dine here. Our server, Cindy, made sure we always had hot tea in our pot, drinks in our glasses, and our every need anticipated and catered to. She truly excelled in her attention to all the details of our dining experience! The atmosphere is a delight, with so much space that they have multiple dining areas and a banquet room that could easily accommodate 50, possibly even 75, people. They also have (a new territory for Pi’s), a full bar with a variety live music certain nights of the week. In this massive space which was once occupied by a Charlie Brown’s of decent proportions, they have managed to retain all the charm embodied in the sushi restaurants of their prior incarnations. Plenty of space, comfy seating, delightful decor, and a bar as well, make this yet another amazing quality this legend has taken on! Of course, one can not dub a restaurant a legend without discussing the food. In the only three times I’ve been in since discovering it’s reemergence locally, I have been dazzled by the displays of sushi some plated with dazzling miniature ice sculptures, as they’ve floated by my table onwards to their destination where I am sure there were patrons in absolute delight. On the menu you can find many of the usual items found in sushi restaurants, but there is quite a list of items that you will find only at Pi’s. Their special rolls have taken creativity to a new level of transcendence. In additi”

“This restaurant has a great flavor that truly captures the essence of Hunan cuisine. The seating is spacious, making it a comfortable spot for gatherings with family and friends.”

“A pleasant atmosphere, with authentic Mexican cuisine is 🔥 today was my first time visiting, and this has instantly become my regular place to eat. Appreciation and gratitude.”

“There are so many beautiful varied items ideal for gifts for any age and all items that you purchase sustain the persons who make these very unique products. Please support Global Grace Marketplace and Cafe for amazing gift items and out-of-this- world delicious and nutricious food!!! Marcia Marcal Persiano”

“Super fresh and delicious food, all tastes very authentic.

Our family went there for dinner and ended up having a great time. We highly recommend Traditional sweet sour fried pork, classic fried mushroom, fried lamb skewer, and the noodle soup.

My kids love the sausage fried rice so much that they were fighting for it. LOL.

We came in late but the waitress was so friendly and nice to us. We really appreciate the hospitality they offered and will certainly come back next time when we are close by.

Parking: Plenty free parking

Kid-friendliness: High chair available, very friendly service to kids”

“I love going to Park Deli. The sandwiches are always a great size, with so many options to make it your own and get great food. If you don’t mind spending a little bit more for quality lunch/dinner, this is the place to be. They even have seating inside! Highly recommend the chicken parm sub or the lawyers, my go-tos!

Parking: Lots of spacious parking behind the store.”

“Every time I’ve visited 418 Burgers it’s been a happy experience. The food is fresh & delicious & the staff is very courteous. 100% would recommend.”

“Been ordering from here for many many years since I was young. And I have tried many other places but nothing can bet china star. The pricing is fair and the potions are great. Highly recommend coming here. Their chicken broccoli with white rice is the best”

“Located in Highland Park, The Park Pub offers a cozy atmosphere and great drinks and food. With a nice selection of craft beers and cocktails, delicious pub fare, it's a perfect place to relax with friends.”

“This kosher restaurant serves very good food, with a focus on quality ingredients and careful preparation. While the portions may be a bit smaller than expected, the flavors are complex and satisfying. A bit more noodles would add some welcome heft to the dish. The atmosphere is equally impressive, with a cozy and intimate setting that makes it perfect for special occasions.”

“Un excelente servicio y los desayunos 🧇 💯”

“Got take out here. Eel cucumber roll and California roll were super yummy. They offer combos for two and three rolls at a discounted price which was really awesome. Interior looks nice for dining in, so I definitely plan on coming back again.

Outside area around is walkable and has many tables and benches as well to eat outside, which is what I opted to do after picking up my food. Overall nice sushi spot in a nice area worth checking out.”
