El Gordo Jersey City is a cozy and authentic Japanese restaurant in JC Heights. Known for its tiny interior, reminiscent of Tokyo's small eateries, it offers takeout and delivery options. The BYOB policy allows guests to bring their own wine, with a nearby liquor store selling Sapporo. The menu features a range of options, including spicy sushi rolls and beef curry donburi.
Customers often praise the warm ambiance and friendly staff, who make visitors feel at home from the moment they arrive. Many say the food is flavorful and delicious, surpassing other restaurants in the area. The restaurant is known for its good service and tasty dishes that leave guests wanting more.
In recent reviews, some long-time customers expressed disappointment over new rules where they now have to pay for toasted corn and refills, which they feel is unfair since other places provide bread and butter for free. Despite this, the food remains highly regarded.
Additionally, some diners enjoy the roasted chicken, which is marinated in Peruvian spices and slow-roasted to tenderness with crispy skin. The green sauce served alongside is considered legendary, one of the best green sauces around, and is even available for purchase by the bottle. Overall, El Gordo Jersey City continues to be a popular spot for flavorful meals and a cozy dining experience.
