“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.“

“Stellar service! Will definitely be back.“

“Craft cocktails in a cozy colorful outdoor patio. The perfect place to relax after a long week!“

“Chongqing Chicken is great!“

“Siempre que puedo lo visito, me encanta su ambiente y su comida 💕🇮🇳🇪🇨“

“Chef Andy was excellent!👍“

“Amazing experience! One of the best vegan entrees I’ve had in a long time“

“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.“

“Got the $50 set menu, really good value. The 9 piece nigiri was really good. Miso black cod and coconut shrimp hand rolls also very good but logistically challenging. Korean chicken app was great, gyoza I didnt love. Place was clean and food was fast.“

“First time visited Jersey City My goodness the food was so delicious, the server was amazing and friendly feels so much like home. Highly recommended for you guys to try.“

“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.“

“Absolutely fantastic! Can’t wait to return!“

“Excellent food and great customer service. Overall an amazing experience“

“This place is so romatic and the staff and food are great. We left happy and ready to return soon.“

“Always amazing no need to fly to Napoli! The team there is incredible thank you!“

“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."“

“Amazing Margaritas! Great staff and food. A MUST in Jersey07302!“

“The curries are my fav! Dumplings are yum, and if you are a meat eater try Korean bbq short rib, it’s beyond! 😋“

“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!“

“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⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“Sam was great! Food was excellent!“

“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!“

“We discovered Mathew's just yesterday and enjoyed a great lunch with their extremely pleasant staff. We'll be back.“

“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.“

“As a fat man and a traveler, I've had pastries from all over the world. And these are as good as Ive had anywhere. And the eggs were cooked perfectly on my sandwich. And no one ever cooks eggs perfectly. 5 Stars!“

“Vibes and more vibes def recommended“

“Pho was amazing.. 10/10..“

“Good atmosphere and great service.“

“Delicious gluten-free IPA! You guys have raised the bar for the gluten free beer peeps!! 🍺🍺“

“They have amazingly tasty food 😉 food 🥘 and specially love their buffet“

“Probably the coolest vibes outside of the West Village—and it’s right in the heart of JC. Frankie’s is an effortlessly stylish Australian spot that feels like a hidden gem but delivers like a destination. Whether you’re trying to impress out-of-towners or a date, this place hits the mark.

Drinks? Solid across the board. The Lovely Creature—served in a whimsical frog mug—is a spicy mezcal punch that feels tailor-made for a boat cruise or summer rooftop hang. But the standout is Let’s Stay Together—an unbelievable old fashioned that balances depth, smoothness, and just the right twist to make you rethink what an old fashioned can be.

Food-wise, don’t skip the kimchi fried chicken. It’s crispy, punchy, and totally worthy of main dish status. Sit at the bar if you can—it’s the best seat in the house to soak in the atmosphere, the music, and the laid-back but elevated energy.

Frankie’s isn’t just good—it’s one of the best spots in Jersey City, full stop.“

“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!“

“Great food, great atmosphere and great service.. I’m coming back and bringing friends and family! I definitely recommend it!“

“My girlfriends purse got robbed. Dangerous place. Don't go there. Band was awesome though“

“Based on my experience there, I loved it but I’m hesitant to give five stars cause I only had the ribeye cheesesteak which may be one of the best cheesesteaks I’ve had out in NJ in all seriousness. Felt a little pricey but so does everything else these days. Even then, the cheesesteak was worth every cent. Highly recommended.“

“Best Pizzeria By Far. The Owners are AWESOME!!! Everything I Tried Was Great. I Was Looking For A Loophole, And Say That There Has To Be Something That Is Just Halfway Decent ??? NOPE I COULDN'T FIND IT. Hands Down EVERYTHING WAS AN ABSOLUTE 10!!!!!!“

“I really love this place, wish I lived closer, its just really good vibes, service, love the food, I haven't had the same thing twice and never been disappointed. I highly recommend you come here, on a date, by yourself, a small group. Looking forward to my next visit. Sorry i didn't take any photos, it looked so good I forgot. Enjoy 🥰“

“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.“

“Freshest and healthiest food you can get without making the trip to the farm. Options for all taste buds. The staff is also helpful and friendly. You should eat and shop here. 🐝“

“Dry good food, fast service“

“I love Central Bistro.

The menu is eclectic and so much to choose from.
Last night I was in the mood for a burger so I ordered a burger to go and it was honestly the best burger Ive had in years. Cooked perfectly and fresh.
Also got a chocolate pie dessert which was super yummy.

The guy at the counter was really helpful and friendly.

Ive only eaten thete once and the atmosphere is warm and homey.

Best of all is the prices are incredibly reasonable.
I recently moved close by and look forward to trying more on their menu but tbh Im already craving that burger again!!“

“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!“

“The most delicious Mexican food I have eaten in New Jersey, the place is decorated in a divine way that makes you think of being a little in Latin America, the service is very good, the food is truly excellent, what a delight!!!

Vegetarian options: Veggie burrito, vegetarian tacos and vegetarian nachos.“

“Go for the corn, habanero sauce and limonada. Get the pastor chicken. It's the best taco. As for nachos, eat them fresh. All the while, as someone from California, it's passable in the Mexican cuisine but still looking for the one out here in the north east.“

“The New England Clam Chowder with crab added to it was TO DIE FOR….. Got a container at The Herald Square Market to eat when i got home and I was in Heaven with every bite! Fresh and creamy, awesome taste and the crab meat added just intensified the experience! I’m visiting New York from TN and it was one of my best meals so far! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“OMG OMG THIS IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST HERO IN THE WORLD!!! IT TOOK ME BACK TO 80'S WHEN I WOULD VISIT JERSEY CITY. THE SMELL WHEN I WALKED IN MADE TOOK ME BACK TO LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL DAYS. THE AMOUNT OF MEAT ON THE 10 WAS UNEXPECTED AND I GOT A WHOLE FOR MYSELF WHEN I PICKED THE BAG UP I WAS LIKE NO WAY. THE AMOUNT OF MEAT WAS CRAZY IT TOOK ME 3 DAYS TO EAT IT. IM TAKING 1 BACK WITH ME. THANKS FOR THIS AWESOME EXPERIENCE“

“The staff were very friendly, attentive, and efficient. The food was DELICIOUS and portions were generous! I would definitely recommend a visit if you’re in the area!!!“

“Fun atmosphere and yummy food!!“
