Noodles near Newark, NJ

“I’m not sure why the reviews are low here. Lou my server did absolutely everything and was so personable and made me feel like a valued guest. He also made sure my sake was never empty. I can tell Lou loves his job and that hard to find at a Newark airport restaurant. I will definitely be returning and can only hope Lou is working when I am there. The sushi roll I had was quite good too.“

“Always as expected. I usually come here after work when I don’t feel like cooking.“

“food was delicious with excellent service!“

“amazing food amazing staff“

“You can tell the owner puts so much care and passion into the food. The atmosphere feels intimate and cozy, like a hole in the wall does. The crab cake pad Thai was particularly tasty. Delicious food at a reasonable price that is well worth the wait and patience (since the owner is both the only waiter and only chef)!“

“Do recommend! Happy about this new addition to the Newport neighborhood. The interior is gorgeous with beautiful decorations. It is clean and spacious. We were excited to check it out and were not let down!! Fantastic experience through and through. Service staff was friendly and polite, attentive (frequent water refills and clearing of table was great). Food arrived fast and in proper order - first appetizers, then main course. Ordering via app helps accelerate the process, and what it also does: it gives the customer the option to decide when to aak for the check. Mind = blown! Awesome feature because you can always go back to order more at any time. Our dinner XP was extremely positive.
Recommendations: cold eggplant w special sauce appetizer (see photo) made my taste buds dance, Zha Jiang Noodles an indulgence. The Pork Pancake was crispy and good as well.“

“My brother recommended this place, and this is my second time ordering. The first time, I ordered the red snapper and drunken noodles. The second time, I ordered the thai fried rice and basil fried rice with vegetable curry puff. Everything was fresh and delicious 😋“

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

“Lucky Foo in Kearny, NJ: The Real Deal Chinese Experience

If you're looking for that authentic, no-frills Chinese spot, Lucky Foo is for you.

If you're expecting some fancy American-style service, you might be in for a shock. But trust me, that's part of the charm. It's just one person cooking and one serving, and their mission? Get that homemade food to you, no matter how long it takes. Don't come here if you're in a rush - this is slow food at its finest. I learned about this style of service living in Hawaii, so it felt familiar to me.

Now, let's talk about the star of the show - the food. It's clean, packed with homestyle flavor, and will leave you feeling satisfied. That noodle soup? Pure magic. When I'm craving authentic, homemade noodle soup, this is the spot I head to. It's not an everyday thing, but when that specific craving hits, Lucky Foo delivers.

The vibe inside is something else. It's quiet - like, eerily quiet - and filled with what looked like college-age Asian students. No background music, no chitchat, just people focused on their bowls or phones. It's an experience, I'm telling you.

Don't expect any fancy menus - it's all up on the wall. And heads up, it's cash only. But honestly? The food is so good, you won't even care.

If you're after authentic Chinese cuisine without any of the fuss, Lucky Foo is your spot. It might not be for everyone, but for those who get it? It's a little slice of homestyle heaven right here in Kearny.“

“This is one of the best Vietnamese places I have ever been to and we have gone to places all over the US.“

“The food was super hot (temperature wise) and well seasoned, spice levels on point (but can request + - spice) The prices are really reasonable when picking up. Definitely recommend. Super nice service and quick food. We should be patronizing restaurants like these, independently owned by hard working people. Will definitely add this to my list of regular places to eat at/takeout.“

“We were in town from Wisconsin to see Metallica. The day after the concert , we were looking for something good to eat and found Dumpling Dojo. Looking thru the menu , we knew we had to try. AMAZING!! We had one of the best meals we have had in a long time and my husband and I like to eat. We go to a lot of high ends places, but as I said , this place was extraordinary. The staff very friendly and helpful. We had the fried pork belly , tangerine beef , shrimp dumplings, fried shrimp and ramen noodle. And for desert , out of the world raspberry cheese cake wontons with whipped cream and fruit garnish. Nothing was too spicy but so flavorful. Again , you really need to try this place. Thank You !!“

“Great food. Easily customizable to your individual tastes.“

“The sushi itself was pretty average, and the rice felt a bit dry. The mango shrimp roll we ordered had a pretty good flavor. Service was very good and everything was pretty affordable! We ordered an app, two sushi rolls, and two desserts for $45.“

“Very professional place always. I complained about my order being a bit too salty to my liking and they apologized and gave me a whole new meal without any complications. Great customer service and the food tastes really good. First time my food came out salty and never had that issue before. They have a clean restaurant & the lady up front is very pleasant and friendly.“

“I used to have one go to pho spot but ever since I tried the lemongrass pho with brisket from this place, I've been addicted!!! I order it at least 2 to three times a month to go and it always hits the spot. Delicious and so fulfilling.“

“The absolute best Ramen!! Amazing food and great service!“

“We’ve been coming to this restaurant for years, so it’s overdue for a review after a delicious lunch with too many amazing menu items to choose from for just one sitting. We have followed this family-owned and operated establishment since the days when they were a food truck, then they moved to a small place on a side street in Verona and now at the current bigger location. This is authentic Thai food of the highest quality, and it has never declined over all these years.

The pad thai has true flavor, not excessively sweet. If you want something sweet, the sticky rice is perfect. Pad see ew noodles are fantastic, as are the curries. Amazing veggie dumplings and spring rolls, and saving the best for last…the shrimp buns- lightly breaded and fried whole shrimp on a fluffy open bun with a lightly spicy mayo based sauce…you have to go just for these alone!

Also the ambience is great - big rounded windows let in plenty of light to contrast with the exposed brick. Plus the service is friendly. We really love this place.“

“Definitely recommend the Spicy Chicken
If you are on the picky side of eating it comes with thick noodles if u want you can ask for thin i definitely recommend I go here for lunch and it comes with everything for take out 10/10 flavor and this is my second time coming in“

“Yellowtail is my go to sushi spot. They have an amazing lunch menu and I was pleasantly surprised that they had Toro! I also order delivery when I'm in the office and the sushi always comes in a timely manner and super fresh. I cannot recommend this place enough.“

“A great addition to the Bloomfield restaurant scene.“

“Such a unique spin on ice cream!! Fun to watch it made with my favorite additions and it’s the BEST!!! I need to order every flavor throughout my visits and I’ll probably find a new favorite.“

“Very good food and child friendly! Good place for big families to have a big sumptuous and sometimes loud dinner with 4 kids!“

“My favorite menu are Beef / Shrimp Lo Mein , very authentic!! And The Shrimp with string bean in garlic sauce is awesome too !! Cindy (The owner) is very nice and friendly. If you get hungry at late night, This restaurant won’t let you down💪🏼🙏
“

“This is a very quaint calm restaurant with relaxing atmosphere. When you walk in you truly feel like you're home. The food is top-notch Thai cuisine, it has a home-cooked feel to it. So far we've been here a few times and had delivery a few times and every order we've had has been incredible!

Vegetarian options: The vegetarian duck is one of the best mock meats you can have

Dietary restrictions: This place has options for vegetarians listed on the menu. Anything you want without me or egg can be accommodated“

“The food is always fresh and hot 🥵“

“1st time visit at this store. I'd give this a 9/10 in general. Overall, pretty good! The Beef Spicy Hot Pot was extremely delicious, only if it had been less spicy, then it would have nailed it. Definitely will be back because this food is just too good to be missed.“

“Delicious ! Worth every cent ❤️❤️❤️“

“new owners with an updated menu. loved the old but love the new even more“

“Was randomly craving takeout tonight and decided to try this place. Takeout can be so hit-or-miss, and even as I was ordering I felt half prepared for a stomach ache afterwards—but I was so wrong and I’m honestly still surprised about it! I don’t think I’ve ever had fresher Chinese food in my life. It’s rare for me to write a review and I feel kind of silly but I appreciated my meal so much that now I gotta talk about it I guess! ?I got steamed dumplings and the sesame chicken, nothing fancy. But it was delicious and all of it tasted so clean and fresh—not greasy, oily, or too salty. The rice was perfectly steamed too, not wet and mushy and not dry. I ordered on Uber Eats not realizing how far away they are from where I live, but it was worth the delivery time and wasn’t too long of a wait. Everything was still warm too. If you’re on the fence because of their Google rating, just know that on Uber Eats they have a 4.8 rating with 100+ reviews. A great find, and I’m grateful. ☺️“

“The staff was very excellent, order delivery was fast. Thank good service.

Vegetarian options: very healthy and delicious food

Wheelchair accessibility: excellent place for disabled, Excellent customer service.“

“Always delicious and very knowledgeable about allergens if you ask“

“I came to shop from NYC was very hungry and I tried Japanese Korean , but the beef noodle soup the meat they use it’s supposed to be soft , beef for stew so easy meat other places near stuck in my teeth and not soft . Highly recommend this place . I came here Tuesday October 22 , 2024 veggies were tasty too and perfect taste , I will bring my family here .“

“Good ,Indian and also Chinese food, chicken 65 ,chicken lollipops , samosas, vegetarian food are good , it's halal.Great Chinese food with a Indian touch too ,see their menu too many choices ,order in delivery app s,

Vegetarian options: You can see menu for vegetarian suggestions“

“Admissions first, I am a sucker for a good noodle bowl, and this one delivers. Got the beef noodle soup, and the meat was exceptional tender, broth salted just enough and the noodles while a little thin had a slight chew.

Filled me up and would absolutely get it again.“

“Good basic real Chinese food, do not come here for orange chicken. It can be intimidating to order but they have a good wall menu and online menus as well. The food is really tasty, and the portions are good for the price. It’s one of my favorite easy dinner places.“

“The name of this food court restaurant is jjampong (Korean spicy seafood noodles). Then you should order jjampong from this place.

That’s exactly what I did and pleasantly found out the best jjampong eatery in NJ is located inside a food court. Hmart food court in Little Ferry to be precise.

I don’t know about other entrees served at this place, but jjampong is beyond solid.“
