I always love to support our town entrepreneurs <3 and I love everything this small, cozy, clean and super nice place offers! It is pretty obvious the owner pours her heart into everything that its offered here! 100% Recommend. I love all their food!, if you have young kids, this is like their little gathering place for those teenagers who are looking for cute places to visit!

I would say the place is very beautiful, homely, and gives a taste of “back home”. I’ve seen the chef, an older gentlemen, so I KNOW the food will hit to the heavens.
I would come back and try different things.
Update: California roll was absolutely delicious

I absolutely love this cafe, they have a lot of great food and the drinks are super spot on. My friends and I got: Banana Bubble Tea (No Boba, Oatmilk) - Super good tastes like banana milk Jasmine Iced Tea Latte (Oatmilk) - Loved it, the jasmine taste is super prominent Unadon (Eel over rice) Sadoro (Salmon over rice) Oyakodon (Chicken over rice) All the food was really good too, this place is so cute and everyone is super nice.

Curiosity by Intrinsic has quickly become one of my favorite restaurant/cafes in NJ and I make it my business to go there every time I’m in town.
Some of the best cuisine, bubble tea, and coffee I’ve had in the state are all available in this place!
If you’re looking to host events, the space in the backyard is wonderfully decorated to make your gathering a memorable one.
Proud to be a patron at this restaurant and hope to be for many years to come.
Place is very well decorated and they have a backyard outdoor seating space as well. I tried their veggie bowl and added tofu to it. It contains broccoli, some mushrooms and carrots with rice. Quantity was very little and was not filling! If I had not chosen to add on Tofu, this dish is basically few veggies over rice!! Not worth the $$

A Kearny hidden gem or not, definitely put it on your "want to go" list. Located off the main street so parking is not a problem. The staff is super welcoming and friendly. You have an option for seating inside or the backyard. If you like outside and it's a beautiful day, I recommend outside seating. I also got a chance to meet the owner she was simply awesome she let me try the scallion pancakes (I recommend), she told me all about place and that they have events with music, private parties etc, I happened to be there during a day party. The sushi was 5 ⭐️'s, the options are limited, but for what they offer, it is fresh and delicious. I had the Taro Bubble Tea sooooo good highly recommend and you can even request extra protein, I love that. So basically, I'll be back and bringing my friends cause she also told me it is a BYOB...."I'M SOLD!!"

What an amazing spot! The owner and staff are phenomenal and make you feel like family when you're in! And no, I'm not trying to be corny, they are genuinely some amazing people! But not only are the people amazing, let me tell you about the food! We started with the Garlic Naan and Scallion Pancake. These were perfectly baked to perfection and the paired sauces compliment the dishes excellently! We also got the Soboro (Ground Chicken bowl) and the Rainbow roll. If you enjoy high quality sushi, this is the place for you! After speaking with the owner, I learned she souces everything of great quality and you can tell! The flavor was fresh and filling! And the ground chicken bowl was super filling, so come hungry! We also got some teas but they have a great selection of bubble tea as well as baked goods! 10/10 a great place to come with friends to be outside in the lovely garden, or sit inside for a coffee & food/pastry in their cozy cafe portion. What a Hidden Gem!

I absolutely love coming here, the food is great, staff is amazing, the owner is kind to all patrons especially patient with children/teens. Atmosphere is amazing and serene.
Love Curiosity! Delicious, fresh and well priced food. The garden provides a great atmosphere. The staff is so friendly and the owner treats you like an old friend as soon as you walk in. Highly recommend Curiosity for your dining experience.
I have been going to Curiosity for years, and I can say it’s one of my favorite places to eat. The ambiance of the backyard is a gorgeous, Instagramable oasis, the food is absolutely delicious. Would strongly recommend their salmon teriyaki, smoothies, cookies & pastries, sushi, and scallion pancake. Everything there tastes truly exceptional though- so there’s no way to go wrong! All of the staff is incredibly kind and down to earth. Curiosity has quickly become a food staple of Kearny. I would strongly recommend Curiosity for the Jersey City foodies that are looking for a hidden gem dining experience.

Typically don't leave reviews but given the welcoming atmosphere and amazing pastries I had to leave a review so others can be aware of this place. Will definitely be back and bringing others with me next time!
Just want to also mention how sweet the owner was and how helpful the staff is as well.

Curiosity by Intrinsic is one of those restaurants that feel like a home outside of home. it has great food and an amazing yet cozy atmosphere that's decorated with care, along with beautiful outdoor seating in the back where I've spent many nights chatting with friends over a meal and a cup of tea.
The staff and owners are super friendly too. Definitely one of my places to be!!
