Taiwanese Restaurants near Jersey City, NJ

“We’re visiting from Texas and we don’t have any Authentic Taiwanese restaurants. When I searched on Google for a Taiwanese restaurant near our hotel in Jersey village, I was super excited to find Gulp. I was skeptical at first of how authentic the food would be. I am thrilled of how delicious and authentic everything we ordered was. You won’t be disappointed coming here!!“

“The fresh taro desserts at Meet Fresh NJ were simply divine! The taro flavor was rich and authentic, and the texture was perfectly creamy, making each bite an indulgent treat.

Their refreshing shaved ice was a true highlight of the meal, offering a perfect balance of sweetness and chill on a warm day. Topped with fresh fruits and a drizzle of syrup, it was a delightful way to cool off.

The staff at Meet Fresh NJ were absolute pros, ensuring our experience was smooth from start to finish. They were friendly and knowledgeable, helping us choose the perfect desserts and checking in at just the right moments.

The value for the desserts here is outstanding; we were amazed at the generous portions without breaking the bank. It felt great to enjoy such high-quality treats without the hefty price tag.“

“Great take on Lu rou fan (minced pork and rice), excellent scallion pancakes and awesome dessert (Tian miantuan) that was like a sandwich of sweet fried dough, golden sesame ice cream and condensed milk (plus cilantro and butter dried peanuts)! Great beverages as well such as the slightly sweetened Jasmine iced tea and Sanzo (lychee & calamansi) sparkling water products!“

“Great food, and great service. Cocktails is original and delicious“

“Delicious dumplings. They're so good. Also, I recommend the garlicky cucumbers for a light & tasty appetizer. Very clean, cozy, polite staff. 5 stars for sure.“

“One of the best beef soup noodles I’ve had and I’ve been to Taipei before. The broth is flavorful and the beef tore itself apart. It’s genuinely amazing how well the food is here even if it’s a bit pricy. But it’s given how the neighborhood is.“

“This is a very local restaurant.
It doesn't have fancy decor, nor does it serve mind-blowing dishes with flavors you can't find anywhere else.
However, their food is very wholesome and down-to-earth, without the heavy oils or excessive salt used to aggressively hook a customer's palate.
The prices are also very affordable—I imagine people working nearby frequent this place often.
I'm a delivery truck driver, and whenever I pass through this area, I make sure to stop by.
The elderly owner is Taiwanese and extremely kind, and they also employ some Spanish staff. The overall work atmosphere is wonderful, and I'm certain the owner treats them very well. Dining here gives you a sense of peace that you just can't find anywhere else.
You shouldn't go out of your way just to eat here, but if you happen to be passing by, you definitely have to drop in and check it out.“

“The food. It’s F$&cking awesome!!!!!!!“

“Waited an eternity to get in - almost 2 hrs. We got our names down for an hour later, came back at that time, and then had to wait down in the lower level all over again before finally getting a table. The food itself was just okay, nothing too bad or too good based on what we ordered (steamed dumplings, spicy noodles, and chicken fried rice). Overall, the wait is definitely not worth the food.“

“Three of us came here for dinner on a Friday night. We were seated right away. The hostess and waiter (Eric), as well as the other waitstaff, were very professional and friendly. We ordered the kimchi sunchoke croquettes, drunken king oyster mushroom, salted egg potato wedges, chili smoked squid, truffle dirty rice and the fried platter. The sunchoke croquettes, drunken king oyster mushroom, and chili smoked squid were standouts. The Kaohsiung and Hsinchu cocktails were delicious.“

“Do yourself a huge favor and order the Taichung cocktail - the taro foam on top is to DIE for creamy and tasty, and the drink itself is so refreshing and pleasant. The drink tokens for the tea-infused liquors are sooo cool and fun, we all got different kinds and shared. Super yummy. Great spot so close to Grand Central, wish I had known about it sooner! Will definitely be back! Don’t sleep on the beef noodle soup, either. The ube tart was the perfect dessert. Wow, great experience and amazing vibes. Treat yourself here 👏👏👏“

“We were so lucky there wasn’t a line and got a complimentary fried rice ball with sesame for their 1 years anniversary. Like that you just order at the bar and sit anywhere you want. We absolutely enjoyed the chicken / cabbage and seafood dumplings. The tofu and century egg were so soft and perfectly seasoned. My last favorite was the scallion noodles. 10/10 would come back here again!“

“Great comfort food! Yum!“

“Chicken leg rice is a humble dish that delivers a deeply comforting and hearty experience notably Taiwanese. The chicken leg is marinated and fried until the skins nice crispy while the meat stays tender with every bite. If you are craving something satisfying and flavorful, this chicken leg dish just what you want. This place serves one of the best chicken leg rice in the city. Cheers!“

“Very tasty and reasonably priced rice rolls. Will absolutely come here again. The preserved vegetable and pork roll was amazing!

Word of warning for the business though, the water in your bathroom sink gets incredibly hot and it might be a good idea to post a sign warning people. I washed my hands and ended up with 1st degree burns.“

“First, the owners that run this place are so friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. I ordered a noodle bowl with marinated tofu and veggies, it was fresh and flavorful. I will definitely be back soon, I got my eye on them baos..“

“masarap yung chicken nila, and mag eenjoy talaga sa mga claw machine“

“Everything’s perfect! Taiwanese Breakfast and beef noodle soup😍“

“Brooklyn Taiwanese Breakfast ||| Recently on TikTok has been pushed this Taiwanese breakfast, I saw the scallion pancake bacon egg n cheese and glutinous rice balls and said I must try it. A random Thursday in a long line (or social media marketing well done) ordered a rice ball, a scallion pancake bec, iced sweet soy milk and a red rice donut (delicious) I think the scallion pancake is a little too hard, the bacon is also on the burnt side of crispy, the texture of the dry and not imagined fluffy, but the dipping sauce is amazing. But the dipping sauce was amazing. The sticky rice dumplings were good, and the best was the red rice donut, which was fermented and tasted a bit like red wine. If you're close by, you can try Williamsburg“

“In Chelsea Market. Great service and very friendly team. The vegan soup was excellent, and the noodles… super fresh. Thank you Victor and your hard working team. Highly recommended 👏👏“

“rice bowls are a symphony“

“Chinatown has so many great dumpling options, and this is one of them. Tucked away in a modest food hall, this Taiwanese food stall serves a variety of friend and boiled dumplings, and adds an egg drop soup for free with a dumplings purchase. It is no frills, but tasty.“

“Great food. Good seasoning with big enough portions for a guy. Rare case where I eat every dish in a bento. However this place is slow. Takes a while to bring out your food. Also the staff kids were being a disturbance. I get that asian places will keep their kids around the store and I get it’s sometimes necessary. However I’ve seen staff lids in asian places sit still and be quiet while here the kids ate constantly walking around and making high pitched young kid whining not yet full language kind of noise and it’s annoying.“

“Side Notes/Mini Review- Rating is for the area (if this were in the East Village, for instance, it would be closer to a 3.) Apparently, the other location is known for Sizzling Steak, so possibly get that. Good Niu Rou Mian/Beef Noodle Soup. Tasty Pork Thick Soup/Rou Geng. Would not recommend Lu Ro Fan/Minced Pork Over Rice. Expect a wait as it gets crowded.

This is the second location of this Taiwanese spot, with the other inside the generically named New York Food Court in Flushing. The place is primarily takeout, though there are a handful of tables, and it's been pretty crowded every time I've passed by. They have a rewards program, and I've been there three times so far, and I'm a bit hesitant to go back. In terms of service, they almost dropped my bag the first time, but they've been friendly the other two times.

The first time I went, I got the Minced Pork Over Rice/Lu Ro Fan for $12, which was alright. For pros, the minced pork inside was nice and fatty, helping to flavor the rice, and I liked the pickled mustard greens. However, there wasn't much meat, and the broccoli, peas, and corn were flavorless, with the broccoli still a bit too crunchy, likely a bit undercooked. They also gave only half a tea egg, and it wasn't exactly that flavorful. I wouldn't recommend this at all.

The second time, I got the much better Premium Beef Noodle Soup/Niu Rou Mian for $15.95. The dish is well packaged with the mustard greens separated from the noodles, which are further separated from the broth, which contains the various pieces of beef. The beef had a pleasant chew as it was mostly shank and tendon, and was a decent portion for the price, especially given its location in Midtown East. The broth was pretty complex, reminding me of the now closed Four Four South Village. The noodles lacked a QQ texture, but a good amount of that was probably because it was takeout. This was good, and my favorite thing I've had here.

The third time was very recently, and I had the Pork Thick Soup/Ruo Geng, as recommended by a recent Yelp review, since I was in the mood for soup during this cold winter. The dish was added to the menu more recently and is available as a soup in two sizes ($6.50 for small/$12 for large) or is available over noodles for $16.95. I have never had this dish before, and it was interesting. There was a handful of meatballs inside, apparently made from a mix of pork, pork fat, and fish paste, with a soft texture and a bit of bounce. Otherwise, there were some potatoes, onions, and a few other ingredients in a slightly gloopy broth. The broth had a nice pepperiness, and I picked up some of their black vinegar and chili oil to make the broth more complex later. I liked this as well.

This is a tasty Taiwanese place serving some less common dishes. It's not my favorite Taiwanese spot I've been to, but it gets the job done and is very different from other spots in the area. Would try the Sha Cha next time or order their signature sizzling dishes.“

“Stopped in for the first time for a burger and a lobster roll on the 4th of July. Legit some of the best bbq food I’ve ever had! Also highly recommend all of their sides. You can tell the passion that goes into their food by the creativity and presentation!“

“Fantastic food , very clean , fast service , friendly staff , the Mimi sauce is amazing 😉“

“Hands down my favorite spot in HK!
-Pork chop: big portion and cooked thin just how I like, comes with sides too
-braised beef & tendon soup, spicy braised beef & tendon soup, and tomato beef & tendon soup: perfect tenderness of the noodles, broth is packed with flavor, tendons are so soft, meat is tender
-popcorn chicken: delicious with the fried basil
-Wood ear mushroom: perfect chew and crunch, vinegary and refreshing
-jade cucumber: gingery and sweet, perfect to balance the fried foods and hearty soups“

“The MUST-TRY Golden Mango Strawberry Pomelo!! 🥭🍓
This used to be my favorite seasonal drink, and now it’s finally available all year round! The mango is super sweet, the pomelo adds the perfect citrus kick, and the strawberry ties everything together. If you see this on the menu, you HAVE to try it!“

“My partner and I just ate here today it's reeeally heckin' good. The chicken cutlets are huge and the Original spice is just the right amount of sweet, and even the standard fries have delicious seasoning. The sweet potato fries are divine. Their boba is also top tier, with my favorite consistency of boba pearls (super soft). The s'mores mochi donut was really good, too!“

“All of this and an extra chicken leg was 25 bucks, if that doesn’t get you to eat at this place. Nothing will. Cheap delicious, juicy chicken and pork. Makes me happier of simpler times before everything went to shit. Come over here for your moneys worth. Underrated gem, an oasis of good food for a good price in an increasingly gentrified little Italy and Chinatown. You will not regret it!!“

“I’ve been coming here on the occasion for a few years now. It’s one of my favorite spots for food. It’s fast, affordable ($7-8 after tax), and tastes good. It’s not top notch food that makes me go “WOW!”, but it always warms my heart and soothes my soul whenever I’m exhausted or stressed.“

“We consistently dine at this establishment due to its convenient location directly across the street. Today, I am providing feedback to counteract some of the less constructive comments I have observed. The quality of the food consistently meets high standards, and I encourage you to maintain this level of excellence. 🙏“

“Me and my friend went to this spot today and we loved it. The flavor was delicious, we are going back soon, it’s really yummy. I’ll give this place a 10. It’s on my favorite list. I’ll recommend.“

“Yummy Boba tea shop in the area! We got two bubble milk teas for one drink price ( they do buy one get one free for one kind of milk tea on weekdays from 5-9pm - March 2025 )
Small shop but so many different drinks you can find.
They have some quick food as well.“
