“restaurant is very clean and the bao buns in particular were sooo good. they have a great texture. our server michael was especially kind and very knowledgeable on both the drinks and the hoboken area. the bartender shane also makes great cocktails and was a pleasure to talk to :-)“

“Absolutely incredible experience!! Phenomenal handcrafted unique drinks and amazing staff- Val, Sam, and Jay! With the smaller space, everyone was extremely accommodating and made us feel comfortable. The atmosphere is chic and intimate. The music was perfectly curated. Only went for drinks, so we didn't get a chance to get food, but it looked delicious, and I will definitely be back! Highly recommend!!“

“We had our wedding after party at the Waiting Room, for ~50 guests.

I cannot recommend them enough! Service was impeccable from start to finish and pricing was competitive with downtown Hoboken.

The event coordinator, Avery was prompt and incredible helpful in getting all of the details right. Mike was attentive and delivered on every ask on the night of. Jessie was a gem behind the bar and was wonderful in the planning phases to help me nail down the drink package! Ryan showed incredible range with his DJing and kept the dancefloor lively all night.

Cocktail menu is fantastic as well!

I plan on coming back regularly“

“Had a lovely brunch here with friends. We ordered the cauliflower and bao buns to share which was really good! I ended up dipping my fries into the sauce. I liked the cauliflower better than the bao bun.

For our entree, we split the cheesesteak, lemon ricotta pancakes and the steak. My favorite was the cheesesteak. Overall the food was good and the staff were all attentive. Our server recommended and made a good mocktail for my friend which she really enjoyed. Martha’s is a great brunch spot in Hoboken.“

“La Boheme is a great restaurant, and my friend and I love coming here. The food is delicious, and the service is wonderful. Veronica always helps us with our reservations and anything we need. She is so kind and friendly. We have had JJ as our server numerous times, and he is always so positive and kind. He has such great energy and is always putting smiles on everyone's faces. I highly recommend this restaurant. It's always a great time!“

“Awesome venue with great service and live music. Definitely check it out“

“Nice Place“

“Fantastic oysters in both quality and selection. Staff is casual and friendly. The kitchen is competent and there are good non shellfish items including a decent burger. However I found my strip steak lacking and though I was told it was a Pat LA Frieda steak, it was not the quality steak I've enjoyed from him before.“

“There must be something in the water here, because this spot has some of the best bartenders I’ve encountered! My friend and I were visiting from Vermont and stayed at the W Hotel. We stopped by The Living Room one evening before we headed out to Brooklyn for some exploration. Jose and Peter were such amazing bartenders, it was difficult for us to leave! Incredible drinks, great atmosphere and conversation. The drinks were easily some of the best drinks we have had. Jose and Peter are both magicians when it comes to mixology. Definitely a highlight of our trip and we cannot wait to visit again. THANK YOU JOSE AND PETER!!“

“Sushi by Bou at the W Hotel in Hoboken is an absolute gem of an omakase experience. The 90s hip-hop vibe, graffiti art, and vinyl records set the most unexpected and fun atmosphere — it's cool, intimate, and totally unique. Every course was carefully crafted with incredibly fresh fish, and the chef walked us through each piece with passion and detail. The cocktails and sake selection paired perfectly with the meal. Whether it's a date night, birthday, or just a special evening out, this place delivers on every level. Highly recommend the Bougie upgrade — worth every bite!“

“Been to this place quite a few times and we are big fans now! The two items I would say are absolute must have are the steamed veggie momos and the paneer tikka tacos!

Those tacos are genuinely so so so tasty! And the momos here are our absolute favorites in JC / NYC. I don’t think anyone makes better momos than them - and if you disagree, we are happy to do a taste test haha. We have tried the fried momos and steamed momos and while both are great, we are partial to the steamed ones!

The owner, Mr Rana, is super friendly. He accommodated us on a busy night on Karwa Chauth, he is always super friendly when we walk in with our baby in her car seat or stroller and helps us make space and get her situated very comfortably.

Definitely check this spot out!“
