“Excelente servicio, y comida deliciosa“

“My family always order the shrimp with garlic sauce and pork fried rice from Chen Kitchen. We have been coming here for many years and the food is always consistent. The staff is always friendly and pleasant. If you are looking for consistency and excellent Chinese food, try Chen's Kitchen in Middlesex. Highly recommend.“

“Everything good but the couple of PIRUJAS (people woh pretend to be educated). Why don't put my previous comment?“

“Amazing food and service ❤️“

“I've ordered takeout from Hot Space Edison several times, and the food has always been consistently delicious. One of my favorite dishes is the fish with the spicy sauce. The fish is always fresh, tender, and cooked perfectly, and the sauce is packed with flavor with just the right amount of heat. Every bite is satisfying, and you can tell that care goes into preparing the food.

Even as takeout, the food travels well and arrives fresh and flavorful. The portions are generous, and everything I've tried has been well-seasoned and enjoyable. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and my orders have been accurate and ready on time.“

“We just finished up my birthday celebration here and it was hands down one of the best I have ever had. The food and service are top notch. The amenities and thoughtfulness they put into this experience puts this place in a league of its own. We did the 4lbs (we are a family of 6) with the Cajun sauce. I recommend getting the garlic noodles, corn, potatoes and sausage. We also go some bread at the end and used it to dip in the sauce. 10/10. Get their versions of caprisuns. They were delish and just fun to drink. Thanks Sandy and crew for a wonderful evening 🥳❤️“

“We ordered the signature sour fish soup with black cod and it was delicious. Small was enough for the 2 of us.The fish is very fresh and we also ordered the crispy chiong ching chicken and it was also very good and has a lot of flavor. Dispite being surrounded in spicy peppers the spice level was good and has a lot of flavor.

The scallion noodles were fine, personally I thought it was a bit over hyped but for 6 bucks we were happy to try it.“

“We ordered takeout from B2J Fish Soup, and the experience was fantastic. The soup was incredibly tasty, and the 'mini' size with extra fish was more than enough to feed three people—it’s a great value. I was also pleasantly surprised by the fried milk; I had never tried it before, but the lady was kind enough to give us a sample, and I ended up absolutely loving it. Mild was spicy, keep that in mind. Highly recommended!“

“Cuzin's Seafood Clam Bar is first class! Not only is the seafood fantastic, but the dry aged steaks and cocktails are excellent as well. Highly recommend“

“Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend:)“

“Great place to have delicious food at good prices . The waitstaff was sooo friendly“

“The environment of the restaurant was amazing! The aroma and taste of the soup was delicious and fulfilling. Definitely would come back again.
Customer service was great. It’s been a while since we visited and they have added several different soup base choices. We went for the basic chicken broth with fish maw, but will definitely try other ones next time.
All the hot pot restaurants in the area are all-you-can-eat, but this one isn’t. However, the quality of the soup stock is way better and the dining environment is quieter.“

“The service was amazing, each course was better than the last, and its a nicely decorated, intimate space. Its absolutely worth the price and a wonderful experience. This is honestly of the best restaurants we've been to in a long time.“

“crab cakes and dynamite shrimp were awesome“

“Best food ever 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 love coming here with our family Tammy and Sal the owners are so nice very special people and so are their waiters and waitresses we love Palo Thanks to our Father for introducing us to Dimaios“

“Coming here for years. Some food items have gone down in quality, namely the pork chop and mac and cheese. Pork chop used to be really cooked to perfection and moist, however lately it has been dried out and overcooked. Mac and cheese lost the amount of cheese it usually has on it, and noodles were undercooked the previous two times. Must have changed the cooks in kitchen, who knows.“

“Best Chinese food we’ve had in a long time. We ordered the popcorn chicken and cumin beef, and both were excellent. Everything was flavorful and well balanced without being overly oily or salty. Even our toddler loved it.

The owner was incredibly kind, and we had a nice conversation about plants and food. The restaurant itself is also very clean and welcoming. Great prices. We’ll definitely be back.“

“great food, service, and strong drinks“

“excellent service. great food. having 45th anniversary there.“

“Great service and the food and drinks were delicious 💕“

“Great friendly atmosphere and great fresh food“

“My wife and I have been patrons and huge fans of Chez Catherine for nearly 30 years. Last Friday, we happily celebrated our 39th anniversary there with another very fine lunch. It's always a pleasure to be greeted like old friends by owner Stephane Bocket and seated at what we think is the best table in the tastefully decorated, elegant restaurant. We both chose the prix fixe menu. For starters, my wife had the always terrific moules and I a lovely mixed salad. We both chose beef bourguignons for our main course and asked Stephane to suggest wine from the by-the-glass list. His selections of a chablis for my wife and pinot noir for me worked perfectly with the outstanding bourguignons. We finished by sharing a delicious Baba au Rhum, prepared by Stephane at tableside. Dining at Chez Catherine is always a special event to us. Everything about it is first class. If you are unfamiliar with Chez Catherine, it has been one of New Jersey's Top 5 restaurants for nearly 40 years. We recommend it highly and urge lovers of fine dining to not wait but reserve a table NOW. We're sure you'll find it to be as special as we do.“

“Sam and Valentina provided excellent service as busy as they were. Thank you so much. And general manger found us a table much more to our liking than where they were going to seat us. Again sooooo appreciated especially considering how busy they were.
It was father's day so atmosphere included lots of cranky children and restaurant was very full.
Wish the food on salad bar had labels.“

“excellent service, they are very friendly and the food without a doubt, recommended.“

“Delicious food and beautiful patio outside. Portions are generous and huge, definitely worth the price 100% recommend 💯👍“

“mac & Cheese, whitingn their food is awesome Fresh“

“The service was excellent—far beyond my expectations. I placed a large pickup order for my niece’s graduation party with over 100 guests, and everything was outstanding. The chicken was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Many of the guests kept asking who had prepared it because they enjoyed it so much.

If you're planning an event and need quality food for a crowd, I highly recommend Flying Wings in Plainfield, NJ. Their food and service exceeded expectations and helped make our celebration a success.“

“Great food, excellent service from Dennis Yusko in coordinating our catered party!“

“A few weeks ago my friend and I had dinner at this Red Lobster, the place was full and it took a while for the waiter to come to our table but when he did; Matthew did an excellent job! yes, he could have been faster but I think they were short of staff that day but other than that Matthew was awesome“

“1st and last time coming here. With the price of the buffet you would think they will have more food selections. The food was nasty, cold and dry. The hibachi was closed and the steak they did make and put out was cold, tough and been sitting out for a while. Crabs were cold and small they were stingy with putting everything out in small portions. Didn't have any snow crabs like they advertise. The bubble tea was free so my children didn't know upon leaving we had to pay for it. The rude receptionist ran and chased us down out the door and snatched them out my kids hands. If she wasn't so rude i would of went back to pay for them. I spent a total of $267 including $40 tip for nasty buffet and service. False advertising on social media made me come here. Never again“

“Ciccio‘s has the best pizza in town. They have a great Tasting sauce on their pizza! Everything we have ever ordered here has Never disappointment.“

“Great very fresh sushi a small out of the way place that is a gem.. We found this place about 2 years ago and haven't gone to another sushi restaurant in our area since...“

“Amazing food. Had hummus shareable platter. Fresh ingredients and tasted amazing!!“

“la atención y la comida es exelente“

“The ma-la stir fry is the best I’ve had anywhere in the state. Recommend to come and try Spice24 in particular. I come every other week and have never had a bad experience.“

“I only got takeout, but they prepared the food quickly, and the packaging was perfect.
I got crab legs and corn, both were delicious and very fresh.
The even included a pair of gloves in the bag for the crab! (I didn't use them, but presumably some people want to keep their hands clean during this sort of meal)“

“Best in Metuchen! Go! Now! You will not be sorry! Great meal, great service and of course you get to visit with the owner, Dario Barone. Nothing better.“

“I have been going to 12 Islands to eat for many years. I have never had a less than perfect meal and the service is outstanding. It is my home away of home.“

“We cannot return to the equator but finding this delight in NJ Plainfield makes me remember the days of family reunions, the chips, the seasoning, the ajísito de pepa, something very delicious and recommended.

Parking: Parking with free space

Kid-friendliness: Quiet atmosphere“

“We had a 50th wedding anniversary dinner at Metuchen Inn and it was perfect. The staff there is amazing. Everyone was so accommodating and they went above and beyond to make it a great evening. Anyone who is looking to host an event should consider Metuchen Inn!“
