Restaurants by Cuisine
“All of the dishes were excellent, and I especially enjoyed the creative interpretation of tofu kimchi as a salad—it felt very fresh and unique. The staff were attentive and responded promptly, making the entire dinner experience highly satisfying. I’m already looking forward to planning our next gathering and revisiting soon.”
“So excited I finally got to taste the chefs version of Kare Kare! All the flavors of traditional Kare with the flair of pasta!!! No wonder it’s there popular dish! The Mango Sticky (pan dan) rice had the tastes of being Filipino. Highly recommend!!! Took my Pa for Father’s Day and we had a great meal!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Let me be blunt. This Italian restaurant is not a typical one that blue collared people visit. It's for the sophisticated ones. The food is served in small bowls that you can share. It's a different experience that you can try. Interesting is what I can say! By the way, this is a BYOB place.”

“I honestly can't remember the last time I visited a restaurant and gave it a perfect 10 across the board, but this place truly deserves it. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed. I needed the restroom right away, and the bartender, Orlando, kindly escorted me to it, making me feel so welcomed. Once we were seated, the food started arriving, and I was blown away. The chef here is absolutely amazing. Her dishes are not only delicious but also incredibly well-prepared. The unique flavor combinations and creativity are outstanding. It's honestly some of the best food and service I've had in a while. I left feeling like I spent my money very happily. I truly hope this hidden gem and the talented chef behind it get the recognition they deserve for their incredible work."”
“This is one of my favorite coffee shops in Jersey City (and believe me, there are many). The staff is so lovely, the food is fresh and delicious and reasonably priced for the quality, the drinks are fun. I've brought babies, worked here, stopped by with my dog for takeout, and sat outside, and all experiences have been great. Highly recommend Hybrid!”
“Just ate there for dinner. Was packed but they were so accommodating for us four, and I was dying for my favorites. I have been going there since 1984 and sorry to say, 90% of the time I get the same thing! And still always delish. The service is great, servers are great, I have bought many people there and no one has ever complained, always loved the food! And I will continue to be a customer for as long as they will be there!”
“As a senior and active community activist I need to stay healthy so Im so glad my nephew referred me to this spot near our home. I would recommend anybody to Juicy city. The staff is very helpful and friendly the prices are reasonable and they have lots of healthy items to offer plus they plan to add more healthy items so please go check them out.”
“This small-footprint gem delivers exactly what so many of us miss back home: quality, chatpata quick bites like spicy-tangy pani puri (with live assembly and multiple flavor options—sweet, savory, and everything in between), the iconic Mumbai vada pav layered with coriander chutney, tamarind, and that punchy dry garlic chutney (ek dam mast!), misal pav, ragda samosa, dabeli, grilled sandwiches, paneer tikka rolls, and more—all pure veg and bursting with genuine flavors.
What really sets it apart is the warm, welcoming vibe—the pleasant service and friendly owner make you feel right at home, unlike some other places around that feel rushed or impersonal. It’s cozy and fun, with that true street-food energy packed into a compact space, perfect for a quick bite or takeout when you’re in Journal Square/India Street area.
If you’re missing the real deal till your next trip to India, skip the average options and head here. Places like Desi Adda keep the quality high, the tastes authentic, and the desi spirit alive—definitely worth appreciating and coming back to again and again. Highly recommend for anyone chasing that homesick cure!”
“Siempre que puedo lo visito, me encanta su ambiente y su comida 💕🇮🇳🇪🇨”
“Amazing experience! One of the best vegan entrees I’ve had in a long time”
“We did a takeout from prince & i and it is a tasty and refreshing meal, perfect for chilly winter nights. We had khao soi and tom yum soup and both were packed meticulously. The chef asked us for our requirements and explained that the place is not like traditional thai food and also graciously accepted our request to cook the poached egg fully. Nice neighborhood spot all in all.”

“Food was really good. The Amish Chicken and Jerk Short ribs were delicious. Server was great. Kitchen seemed to get a bit backed up a peak time. That gave us an opportunity to taste their pull apart bread (whoa), which they brought out due to the wait.
We'll be going back.”

“Ate here with my family on a Saturday night. We took an uber to this location as we figured trying to find parking would not be good. The service and food was good. I couldn’t rate the food 5 stars as my steak was not the one I ordered and the meat was chewy. I didn’t rate the atmosphere 5 stars either as the place is quite small and not too much space to stand around while waiting for a table. If in the area, I do recommend stopping here for some authentic Cuban food.”
“Beautiful interior and cool ambiance, at times might be a bit noisy
Great service ,the staff are super nice
Recommend to make reservations just in case
I drank a few cocktails ( mainly the gin /tequila based)- all were nice,fresh and alcohol forward which was appreciated .
The food was 10/10 for me , we got
Beef tartar with burrata
Octopus carpaccio
Scallions pancake
Chicken sliders
Beef yakitori
Chicken yaketori
Olive cake for dessert
Everything was delicious,fresh and well seasoned.
The olive cacke is highly recommended for dessert.”
“We had the Domokase, very clever naming. Great value for what you are getting here. Every bite was delicious. It was nice to have some plates that you could pick to tailor to your taste”

“This is my favorite Chinese Restauraunt in Jersey city, seriously.
Top notch service and super delicious noodles. I always order the braised beef noodles, the pork and cabbage dumplings and the eggplant appetizer.
The staff is always very friendly and attentive. I come here frequently and it never disappoints.
If you want a super good noodle spot to try out… you must come here!”

“The food we ordered from Casa Cubana for the surprise 50th Birthday party we hosted was a HIT! Everyone told us the food was delicious. They even provided serving utensils. We had black rice with beans (Moro), pork shoulder (Pernil), chicken and steak skewers, garlic shrimp, chicken and beef empanadas and sweet plantains. And yes, all of it was mouthwatering good. I was sold when I went for a quote and was given a chicken empanada to sample. So juicy! I highly recommend them for your next event, lunch or dinner. The cafe they have is lovely and the customer service is 10/10. You won’t be disappointed.”
“We saw this stall on Pershing square and library way. Great food! Friendly gentleman working his magic on the blacktop. We got a chicken gyro and a combo gyro. Really good portions and the sauces were not overpowering, the red sauce is about half the heat of halal guys. Made to order. And there were benches to sit on a few yards away.”
“Z is truly the heart of this Dunkin’ Donuts! She’s always working hard with a smile on her face, and she goes above and beyond to make sure every customer feels welcome. No matter how busy it gets, she stays patient, friendly, and professional. You can tell she takes pride in her work, and it really makes a difference. Dunkin’ is lucky to have her!”
“I had eaten food from Stella's before and was please with the food I purchased. However I was extremely impressed withy current order. I ordered a slice of pizza and fettuccini Alfredo. YUM I KNOW!
The pizza was typical yet the taste was amazing. I am not sure if the shell is made fresh or frozen, but when fresh or frozen, they have made a good choice.
The fettuccini Alfredo was just as good!
The only issue I have is that when you call there to ask to see if they a certain item the woman who answers the calls does not answer kindly but gets annoyed and hands up.
Otherwise, good job Stells and the chefs that make this place wonderful.”
“White Castle has the best fast food burger buns. But, I want to shout out this location because I always pull up with a $5 coupon and it’s never a problem that I’m broke and paying 10cents cash and the rest on my card. :) This location always gets it right and it’s so gooooood. I can’t replicate this with them frozen boxes :(”
“Ivy ,Hellen and Rania they are a wonderful team everything came out nice quick hot food is delicious but most of all Ivy's smile and energy is amazing 🤩😍 I would really come back as long as these girls are in the front they make an awesome team friendly smiles they greet you wonderful team can't say anything bad about them Good job girls”

“I live in the area and attend college out of town so getting to the library on my off days is tough. I've been looking for a place with a chill ambiance, wifi, good tea, and coffee. Well, look no more for me. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. Great rustic look, comfy seating with back support, loads of outlets for laptops, and the second-floor space are super cute and cozy too. Oh and there's a small little outside area that's pretty cool as well. Shaquille (hope I spelled it right) was AMAZING! So down-to-earth, friendly, polite, and easy to talk to. She made me the Tumeric latte for me and I all but licked the cup clean. I had the hummus & cucumber on sourdough toast and it was divine. Also, a great option for vegans. I totally recommend this place if you have similar needs or just want to hang out with some friends. I will surely be going back.”
“Absolutely wonderful food! I've been several times and try something different every time I go. Like their sign says, they really do have the best chicken sandwiches in town. The flavors are unique and the seasoning is balanced so well. Can't wait to work through their whole menu!”

“I grew up in NYC so I’m no stranger to halal carts. Since I’ve moved to JC (which I know is only across the river, but the food scene really is different), I have yet to find my go-to halal spot… until now! I paid $10 for a chicken over rice. The chicken was so juicy and they were very generous with the chicken and sauce. So delicious but also so dangerous that I’m so close by”
“Excellent food and great customer service. Overall an amazing experience”
“Amazing Margaritas! Great staff and food. A MUST in Jersey07302!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“I love coming here whenever I’m in the Heights because there’s always something new on the menu. If you’re grabbing a bite around lunchtime, you cant beat the focaccia and sandwiches– but the rotating soups/stews on the menu are like a hidden gem. If you come earlier, get one of their delicious cappuccinos and a sampling of pastries. Pictured is a brioche filled with fresh ricotta and lemon curd. Just perfect!”
“This place is truly amazing, with such a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable the moment you walk in. It’s the perfect spot to get some work done while enjoying an incredible coffee and a delicious sandwich. You can really feel the gratitude and care that the owner, Wilson, has for every customer his patience and kindness shine through in everything he does. The staff is an amazing crew: friendly, attentive, and always ready with a smile, which makes the experience even more special. The Wi-Fi is great, the lattes are absolutely delicious, and dogs are welcome, which makes it even better for pet lovers. Every visit feels like a little escape from the busy day. I genuinely love walking in here, ordering my coffee, and taking a moment to relax and enjoy. It’s more than just a café it’s a warm, welcoming place that makes you want to keep coming back. ☕️💛”
“Belle Âme is the type of coffee shop that puts LOVE in their food craft. One of the best coffee shop sandwiches I had in a while. NY coffee shops don’t top this honestly.
Plus, the coffee shop has a versatile of seating arrangements. Great for my ADHD friends. 😅”
“This is my go to place to order when i am in mood for some desi food! It makes me miss my mother and Bangladesh!! People who likes this place, please do not compare the taste with Indian west Bengal food because Bangladeshi food is not overwhelmed with spices and very basic and simple.”
“We drove right past it but THANK GOD we were able to turn around and get to it the food was heavenly juicy hot and suuuuper tasty the cook we spoke with was amazingly patient as he could see we wanted the entire menu but didn’t know how to order it lol the man was a saint and got us exactly what we wanted we were in such disbelief that such amazing tacos came from such a small spot but it’s clearly a top shelf establishment and will continuously recommend this place”

“The curries are my fav! Dumplings are yum, and if you are a meat eater try Korean bbq short rib, it’s beyond! 😋”
“I've been looking forward to trying this restaurants menu items. yesterday was only the 1st, for sure. I had a shrimp po boy, perfect, packed with shrimp, just the right sauces, really good. I took home a container of their vegan lentil soup which is better than my lentil soup. that's not a small thing. beautifully balanced flavor, really delicious. I can't wait to go back and try everything else.”
Fine Dining
“First time in this place. My boyfriend is very particular with the quality of tuna he’s getting from a sushi place, and Nigiri did not disappoint. I love my Salmon sashimi, too! The place is also well situated a few steps to Exchange Place, Waterfront which is a plus. Parking spot is a little hard to find but the food made it worth it.”
“To the whole team at 15 Fox Place, thank you so much for an unforgettable experience! The moment we got the call, we were thrilled and so grateful for the opportunity. Family truly is everything, and we absolutely loved sharing the evening with yours. The food was spectacular—truly next level—and the ambiance was exactly what made the night special. It was so homey and comforting, making it feel like an amazing, intimate dinner with friends right at home. We all left happy and completely filled. My friends and I are already looking forward to our next chance to experience this magic again! Thank you for sharing your gifts and your family with us.”

“El Ranchero is my favorite taqueria in the bayshore. The tacos are the best in the area and the mole is delicious. The food is fresh and the service is fantastic. I recommend this to anyone! A wonderful place to practice my spanish! El Ranchero es mi taquería favorita. Los tacos son los mejores de la zona y el mole es delicioso. La comida es fresca y el servicio es fantástico. ¡Yo recomiendo esto a cualquiera!”
“Always amazing no need to fly to Napoli! The team there is incredible thank you!”
“Exceptional high quality unique dishes. I loved every bite and can’t wait to go back! Definitely one of my top picks for Jersey City⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“My new favorite coffee shop! Excellent service and product! Highly recommend to all coffee lovers.”
“I had the most phenomenal dining experience at Kings Pride, a Nigerian restaurant in Jersey City. The exceptional customer service by the owner, Veronica, truly made it stand out. Veronica went above and beyond to bring the essence of Nigerian cuisine to our table, even taking us behind the scenes to demonstrate the traditional preparation of the dishes. Her passion for sharing the culture and flavors of Nigeria was truly inspiring. The Jollof rice with stewed goat was an absolute standout, bursting with rich, aromatic flavors that left a lasting impression. The Ogbono soup was a true staple of Nigerian cuisine and paired perfectly with a side of fufu. The classic homemade Zobo drink was a refreshing and delightful complement to the meal. Veronica's warm hospitality and her dedication to showcasing the authenticity and rich cultural heritage of Nigerian cuisine made our experience truly memorable. Kings Pride is more than just a restaurant; it's a place that brings people together through the love for great food and the celebration of Nigerian traditions. I highly recommend Kings Pride as a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic and enriching culinary experience. Veronica's commitment to preserving and sharing the intricacies of Nigerian cuisine deserves the utmost support to keep this remarkable restaurant thriving.”
“We discovered Mathew's just yesterday and enjoyed a great lunch with their extremely pleasant staff. We'll be back.”
“We ordered so many incredible signature dishes. The lamb moussaka was 5 stars! To really test them we ordered one of the best lahmanchoun’s we’ve tasted in NY! Cozy atmosphere, attentive waitstaff, Momo JC definitely exceeded our expectations!”
“Have enjoyed two fantastic meals at Ita. A perfect atmosphere for any intimate or casual gathering. The food is so fresh and the people are warm and welcoming. I will be back!!”
“Very good atmosphere, authentic Yunnan Cuisine, highly recommended to everyone who wants real traditional Chinese food!!
Recommended dish: Passion Fruit Beef with Sour Soup and Rice noodles. The waiter Kevin well served us, very friendly and nice!!!”
“Delicious gluten-free IPA! You guys have raised the bar for the gluten free beer peeps!! 🍺🍺”
“I just wanted to give our waiter VINCENT !!! The biggest applause !!! Within the first few minutes on approach the expectations were defenitley met... Only downside of the experience was such a small menu usually people expect big plates. The portion sizes were honestly perfect to split between one other person if not just to have for yourself. My boyfriend and I had the Porter house 40oz cooked medium that was a Valentine's Day special and it came with this amazing Block of 1000 layer potato and it was probably one of the best french Frye ... I've ever had lol! They had an amazing wine selection for such a good price for being so close to the city !!! Most expensive bottle was probably $120 most of them average between 65 to 72$ . We also ordered the scallops. The oysters were a little bit warm upon arrival which was a disappointment because that's what was the main reason why we came there for but we were definitely enlightened to have our taste buds experienced to other varieties of the menu and the escargot which is an old Italian recipe which not many restaurants know how to make or prepare but the fried wontons we had absolutely delicious with the sauce they had at the bottom of the plate. It was like the perfect bean and nutty texture. Good job guys !”
“Omg this literally the best pho ever.
I had a LARGE beef brisket pho. The broth is to die for. That is a good thing after a hangover. The shrimp spring rolls are a good appetizer. The chicken and shrimp fried rice was amazing. The chicken noodle soup was the best ever. He had grilled chicken. My boyfriend needed this to revived himself. Chicken soup is good for the soul. The kind that says you matter and makes you feel you're blessed.
As soon as we got in they greet us with smiles and good tea. That's why we needed after a good night. Real soup is to the body what peace is to the soul. Soup is a symphony of flavors dancing on your tongue.
Thank you for having us and serving us with warmth greeting.”
“Very good tacos at a very fair price. These are probably some of the best seafood tacos I’ve ever had, even better than once I’ve had in California or Mexico. The large shrimp with cheese taco is by far my favorite, the ceviche is also good, and the restaurant itself is always packed with a lot of energy. I’ve ate in there in person, I’ve only ever picked up food, which is very efficient with them and fairly quick.”
“This is one of the best places to have south Indian food and the restaurant is very authentic. The ambiance is very decent but the food is so good. Especially their mann soru was out of the world”
“I love this place , I always eat lunch or dinner here. Food is great and drinks are even better, the bartenders are great at what they do. I will definitely be back”
“My first trip to Jersey lead me to Tinos and I am so lucky to have found them! Their cute outdoor dining area was shaded. Menu has tons of options - I had the Margherita pizza, Pinot and a cannoli! All are delicious and I can't wait to return. The pizza is the best I've ever had - crispy but still foldable thin crust, flavorful sauce, and top quality mozzarella and EVOO. My waiter was kind and attentive, who informed me that Tino still comes in and does things like weeding the plants. He also said that they are terrific employers. Not many places today hit all the check marks, but Tino's hits it out of the ballpark.”
“We really enjoyed our brunch here—the restaurant has high chairs and stroller parking and our baby loved eating avocado and smoked salmon and beans off our plates! We’ll be back!”
“They have amazingly tasty food 😉 food 🥘 and specially love their buffet”
“this place is a must go to. the food is amazing as well as the service and drinks. Definitely on my top 10”
“Beautiful decor, and atmosphere, the people are friendly and a pleasure to speak to.”
“I've tried every single Vietnamese restaurant with Banh Mi around the Historic Downtown area and this place has the best sandwiches. Very sad I don't live closer to pick up the food or I would order more often. I've ordered dozens of times and the food & service has been consistently great. Highly recommend!”
“My girlfriends purse got robbed. Dangerous place. Don't go there. Band was awesome though”
“We love Ed and Mary’s Bar! Such a friendly, welcoming spot with the best vibes and even better people. It’s the kind of place you walk into once and keep coming back to. Always a great time — hands down our favorite bar!”
“The Hot & Sour Veg Soup is a delightful start to the meal. Just the right amount of spice and tang. A bowl full of warmth!”
“Really fresh fish! Only had some yellowtail (I think) that seemed to be thawed so didn’t taste great. Otherwise, the Lover’s Boat was really good. All you can eat is another option I’ll try next time. Soup and salad are good as well. BOYB is a great plus, liquor store on the same block. Officially favorite local sushi spot!”
“Great food, great atmosphere and great service.. I’m coming back and bringing friends and family! I definitely recommend it!”
“The food drinks and views are excellent… can’t wait to go back and bring friends!!”
“Solid sports bar with good wings. We ordered three traditional wing flavors: buffalo, O'Hara's special sweet and spicy, and parmesan garlic. The O'Hara special flavor was by far the favorite of the group. I would not order the artichoke dip again as it was quite watery and tasted about the same as a frozen option from the grocery store. Although they have a great beer menu I was disappointed that my two preferred beers were unavailable to order (Blue Moon and cold snap). All things considered, I'd come back for the wings and the sports bar atmosphere.”
“To the whole team at 15 Fox Place, thank you so much for an unforgettable experience! The moment we got the call, we were thrilled and so grateful for the opportunity.

My friends and I are already looking forward to our next chance to experience this magic again! Thank you for sharing your gifts and your family with us.”
“This place is busy, but worth the wait! The menu system is online and looks really clunky, but with the help of Google review photos I settled on the pan fried noodles and braised pork hock (which is highly recommended). The pork comes in a dark, rich savory sauce (they mentioned after it can also come in a garlic Sichuan that is sweeter). The noodles were fresh, with soft scramble eggs and a tang I couldn’t identify. Very good. And the pork literally fell off the bone and the skin was unctuous and filled with collagen and flavor. Would’ve loved some soy sauce at the table, but all in all staff is friendly, the space is airy, and the food is insanely good.”
“We visited our friends in Newport last weekend and decided to try Blue Anchor for brunch after seeing its great reviews on social media. The decor is bright and clean, with a beautiful view of the river.
Overall, the food was delicious with reasonable prices and generous portions. Our favorite was the flavorful, juicy burger with perfectly balanced ingredients. The fried cod in the fish tacos was also crispy and satisfying.”
“On vacation as a joke, we searched for "the worst bar near me" which led us to this amazing little place. We had the absolute best food! The waitstaff was attentive, fun, and helpful. Prices & portions were fair. The whole vibe of the area was low-key & pleasant with the dog-friendly patio, next door local shops, and other patrons. If these Wisconsintes find ourselves in Jersey City again, we will absolutely make a dedicated return to the Wurstbar!”
“The Corner Pho has delicious food and the service is great ! The owner Quang is so gracious !!”
“This is a favorite spot of ours! Our son goes to college in Manhattan and when we don't want to go all the way into NYC to see him, this is our go to meeting spot. The aesthetic is so cozy and inviting, the food is always on point. The Hudson River is only a couple blocks away, which is the perfect place to walk off your delicious meal.”
“WISP Rol delicious & so well put together! The guys on the truck are so friendly and accommodating & treat everyone with kindness even with long wait times. Order ahead & pick up when it says it’s ready and you will not be disappointed! 10/10 recommend”
“First time in this place. My boyfriend is very particular with the quality of tuna he’s getting from a sushi place, and Nigiri did not disappoint. I love my Salmon sashimi, too! The place is also well situated a few steps to Exchange Place, Waterfront which is a plus. Parking spot is a little hard to find but the food made it worth it.”
“Amazing prime rib with incredible au jus! The risotto was a hit, and the calamari was tender and delicious. The spaghetti with shrimp was the only miss, and the chicken Parmesan could’ve been crisper. Still, with great service, solid drinks, and a lively vibe, it’s definitely worth a visit — reservations recommended!”
“Wonderful place with tasty food and best service. Will try again.”
“great food and vibe. BUT they are cheap with condiments. charges 2 bucks for extra syrup for the chicken and waffles”
“I highly recommend their famous pork spicy appetizer. It was our 4th times in this place. I would say their meat is high quality because you can tell from the flavor itself. This is our couples favorite Sichuan place. Tonight, we tried SeaBass Mala it was delicious but too spicy but we’ve finish it 😄😛😋”
“My husband and I went for Valentines Day and we liked it. The drinks and apps were amazing. Highly recommend the cast iron mac and cheese. Our entrees were ok, my husband asked for his steak medium and it was well done. My veggie burger was NOT good. We agreed we would just get different entrees next time we come back. And then we got the pecan pie for dessert and oh my god! Might be the best pecan pie either of us have ever had. Would seriously go back just for the mac and cheese and pecan pie.”
“Performing at Maritime Parc was an absolute highlight for us! The venue offers a sleek, modern aesthetic with stunning panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline and harbor—an unforgettable backdrop for any celebration. The layout is perfect for live music, with plenty of space for dancing and an energetic crowd. The team at Maritime Parc was fantastic to work with, making sure everything ran smoothly so we could keep the party going strong all night long.”
““Delicious food and great service, compliments to the chef!” 👨🍳 🙌🏽👊🔥”
“Great spot for lunch! Amazing penne ala vodka and excellent drinks! Cynthia was great with her recommendations and drinks! Definitely will back! Thanks Cynthia!!!”
“Great place to eat - a lot in their menu. Very cozy atmosphere, you can dine in or outside the resto. They have a lot of adult beverages as well!!!”
“Authentic Italian deli with wonderful and kind owners who have operated for 40 years in this location. When you walk in, you will literally feel like you are in Italy. 🇮🇹
So cool. Excellent quality in cheese and meats and all the essential Italian ingredients.”
“SO delicious and amazing service with a wonderfully cozy and lovely atmosphere! Couldn’t recommend more! Definitely try the Mussaka—it was so flavorful and filling!”
“superb place to meet and eat. Ambience in restaurant is amazing and the bar area very friendly . The food is amazing.”
“Based on the taste it's not recommended otherwise the location, Customer service and ambiance is good!!!”
“Brightside Tavern is the modern day Cheers. If you want to have an experience that you'll never forget, then come down to Brightside tavern 141 Bright Street in Jersey City New Jersey. Tell them Curtiss sent you. Family, and kid friendly too. 🫡🌹”
“First time & definitely not our last time. We went to see Efrat & Brian. Amazing music, as well as the company. The food was good too!”
“Excellent food. I am from Canada and while travelling to US I found this restaurant. After 3.5 years I got this type of taste. I was craving for this. Gobi 65 10/10”
“Manisha was my waitress, very kind lady, extremely helpful when it came navigating the menu, and the food was so flavorful. Also, I have never seen a SELECTION of breath mints as follows. 10/10, I hope to see more patrons next visit!”
“One of my favorite places to eat at in JC, really authentic tasting Chinese food with large serving sizes and lots of variety! I visit frequently and the service is always fantastic, and the environment is clean and well air conditioned. You can even ask them to customize the dishes like decreasing the amount of chili or oil used.”

“This small-footprint gem delivers exactly what so many of us miss back home: quality, chatpata quick bites like spicy-tangy pani puri (with live assembly and multiple flavor options—sweet, savory, and everything in between), the iconic Mumbai vada pav layered with coriander chutney, tamarind, and that punchy dry garlic chutney (ek dam mast!), misal pav, ragda samosa, dabeli, grilled sandwiches, paneer tikka rolls, and more—all pure veg and bursting with genuine flavors.
What really sets it apart is the warm, welcoming vibe—the pleasant service and friendly owner make you feel right at home, unlike some other places around that feel rushed or impersonal. It’s cozy and fun, with that true street-food energy packed into a compact space, perfect for a quick bite or takeout when you’re in Journal Square/India Street area.
If you’re missing the real deal till your next trip to India, skip the average options and head here. Places like Desi Adda keep the quality high, the tastes authentic, and the desi spirit alive—definitely worth appreciating and coming back to again and again. Highly recommend for anyone chasing that homesick cure!”

“Meryendang Pinoy JC is truly one of the most exceptional Filipino street foods, a testament to the owners' kindness and generosity. Their tireless efforts to build this dream have paid off, and it's incredible to see their vision take shape in their own business establishment. I still marvel at how far they've come since 2020, when I first messaged them to order food from their humble home setup. Fast forward to 2024, and they've officially opened their business doors. Now, you can drop by anytime or conveniently order online - it's still an outstanding experience. They're growing steadily, bringing the flavors of the Philippines closer to our hearts, and making us feel like we're back in the Philippines 🇵🇭 🇵🇭🇵🇭 1000/10💛💙 Wishing You All The Best and More Blessings To Come Meryendang Pinoy JC💛💙🙏”
“Very good tacos at a very fair price. These are probably some of the best seafood tacos I’ve ever had, even better than once I’ve had in California or Mexico. The large shrimp with cheese taco is by far my favorite, the ceviche is also good, and the restaurant itself is always packed with a lot of energy. I’ve ate in there in person, I’ve only ever picked up food, which is very efficient with them and fairly quick.”
“I don't leave reviews often, but I didn't get to tell them in person so I'll tell everyone and hopefully they see this review. I come here every so often when I'm around about twice a year and they are consistently really nice people, and the coffee is just delicious. I'm always too late for pastries, I'll get them next time. Great job guys! Thank you for your hard work (and sweet messages)! 💕”
“This place is busy, but worth the wait! The menu system is online and looks really clunky, but with the help of Google review photos I settled on the pan fried noodles and braised pork hock (which is highly recommended). The pork comes in a dark, rich savory sauce (they mentioned after it can also come in a garlic Sichuan that is sweeter). The noodles were fresh, with soft scramble eggs and a tang I couldn’t identify. Very good. And the pork literally fell off the bone and the skin was unctuous and filled with collagen and flavor. Would’ve loved some soy sauce at the table, but all in all staff is friendly, the space is airy, and the food is insanely good.”
“We visited our friends in Newport last weekend and decided to try Blue Anchor for brunch after seeing its great reviews on social media. The decor is bright and clean, with a beautiful view of the river.
Overall, the food was delicious with reasonable prices and generous portions. Our favorite was the flavorful, juicy burger with perfectly balanced ingredients. The fried cod in the fish tacos was also crispy and satisfying.”

“Let me be blunt. This Italian restaurant is not a typical one that blue collared people visit. It's for the sophisticated ones. The food is served in small bowls that you can share. It's a different experience that you can try. Interesting is what I can say! By the way, this is a BYOB place.”
