“I have been going to Sonoma almost weekly for over a year now. It started off with taco Thursdays and their delicious margarita specials and has now turned into exploring every menu item possible. I am consistently impressed with the quality and taste of the food. Incredibly delicious every single time. I am gluten intolerant which can pose challenges. The kitchen and staff have been amazing In accommodating my food allergy. I highly recommend Sonoma on any day of the week. It very quickly became my favorite go-to restaurants.“

“Today we had the pleasure of dining at Blue 42 Restaurant and Bar, located at 158 Market St, Elmwood Park, NJ, and I must say it was a delightful experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The security staff were particularly friendly and helpful, ensuring we felt comfortable and safe throughout our visit.
While our order did take a little longer to arrive than expected, it was truly worth the wait. Each dish we ordered was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The attention to detail in the preparation was evident, and we thoroughly enjoyed every bite. It’s clear that the chefs at Blue 42 take pride in their culinary creations.
We ended up spending a total of $78, including tips, and I felt that the quality of the food and the overall dining experience justified every penny. The combination of great service and delicious meals makes Blue 42 a restaurant I would happily recommend to others.
If you're in the area and looking for a place to enjoy a meal, I highly encourage you to check out Blue 42. You won’t be disappointed!“

“I had a private event in the Parlor Room and it was fabulous. Food and drinks were spot on and the service was dynamite. There were 21 of us all together and everyone was well cared for by server Lily and the rest of the awesome staff. I really love the unique atmosphere of the place -warm, classy and comfortable all at once. No boring old chain restaurant vibes here. Everyone had a great time. I would definitely host future events here.“

“just fantastic food and service“

“Always one of places to hit when I am back in North Jersey“

“A great Korean fusion bar in the neighborhood that's passionate about good food!
I had a buddy over from Michigan who did not mind the snow, so with wife, we went to eat through snow BLIZZARD to JJ Dak Sunday evening as they were open. Inside was chic and cozy as I expected, and we were led to a rather smallish dining room on the side of first floor. Center area was for the bar. I've wanted to try JJ Dak for a while now, so we ordered up w/ pleasant server who explained the menu for us.
I. ATMOSPHERE (4/5) - Great vibe! Dimly lit with thoughtful biergarten style decorations galore, it felt warm, cozy yet stylish. Good for dates & drinks with buddies.
II. FOOD (4/5)
Squid Fries ($14, APP, 5/5) - Hands down the best food of the visit. Fresh squid w/ full flavor in light seasoned batter with mouthwatering ponzu mayo dip. Say whaaat? Wonderful with beer. We wanted to order one more if not for entree coming!
Fried Oysters ($??, APP, 3/5) - It was a special item, but unfortunately this was nothing special. Shouldn't have ordered, as it was prob to get rid of fresh oysters getting old (not on the menu). It wasn't like not fresh or anything but taste was just okay.
Nuroongji Dak ($45, ENTREE, 4/5) - This famous dish didn't disappoint! They lit it on fire for a show & added flame taste, and the dish was sizzling hot. Flavor was pretty good, though some parts of chicken wasn't seasoned through. But they give you 3 dipping sauces (honey mustard was my favorite!) for that so that's OK. This dish really felt like a treasure hunt for the 3 of us as we kept poking around and finding different ingredients. I wished that there was still a unifying sauce of some kind as meat felt a bit dry at times and variety of ingredients kinda floating on their own a bit. Maybe a splash of soya-butter? Nonetheless, this was really enjoyable to eat - we loved the cauliflower and the burnt rice (which we diligently scraped off the pan) on the bottom.
III. SERVICE (5/5) - Very attentive, on a Sunday evening blizzard night! Later they did get busy (it's like we brought the town here cuz adventurous and half-crazy people kept showing up in pairs through the blizzard to eat in. Was a bit funny)

I'm a fan of this place - especially for a drink w/ buddies I can't think of a more deserving place to go to in town atm than JJ Dak! I'll be back to try many other interesting menu items in the near future!

Parking: Free lot is tiny. Street parking galore but paid. Nearby mall parking (of other businesses) but they may ticket you during busy hours.“

“Such a fantastic place to see live entertainment. The staff is always on point getting the drinks over the bar no matter how crowded the venue is. The food is fantastic and management treat you like family. 👊💥🏴‍☠️“

“Want to have a good food, drinks and vibes with great service. Well look no further, this is the spot right here. One of my favorite go to spot. If you haven't been here yet, you're missing out. Check them out.“

“Went to Dog house yesterday. Found out the chef left. 😩 Food definately proved it. used to Love the cheesecake sandwich, but not today. Way too much Wostishire that overpowered the sandwich and steak sliced too thick. Very disappointed! And the very young bartender was very disappointing also. only 6 people there and not very responsive or knowledgeable!“

“The food was great for the most part. Nice selection, although the fried chicken in my salad was quite dry. Apps were out quick and the wings were delicious! The chicken and waffles were delicious, half of our party ordered them! It was quite empty when we were there. I'd go back for sure!“

“Decor? Good. Food? Good. Drinks? Gooood.“

“I feel like I'm on vacation in the Caribbean when I am at Sugar Café - and you get all the healthy smoothies w/o the crazy downtown prices!!“

“The best place on the west“

“Emerald Corner is your classic neighborhood bar—nothing fancy, just good vibes, solid food, and bartenders who keep things moving. It’s the kind of low-key spot where you can grab a drink, watch a game, and feel like a regular even if it’s your first visit.

The vibe is relaxed and a little old-school, with sports on TV, a jukebox playing in the background, and a small but lively crowd. It’s the perfect place to unwind after work or hang out with friends

The food here is way better than you'd expect from a dive bar. The burger-and-wing combo—juicy, flavorful, and a ton of food for the price. Wings come in a bunch of flavors (the hot buffalo and teriyaki are standouts), and the portions are generous.

The bartenders are friendly, fast, and totally on top of things.

Overall, Emerald Corner nails the dive bar formula: chill atmosphere, great service, and food that hits the spot without killing your wallet.

Try the burger and wings combo—it’s one of the best deals around. You won’t regret!“

“her her her .her mother's pizza ifykyk“

“Very nice staff and great food and drinks!“

“HEY, this is from all your street neighbors around you. we all love your food and we would appreciate it if you could PLEASE lower the music decimals that are required by law after 10 pm. We understand you have a business to run but the music is WAY too loud to be playing up until 2:30 in the morning. Some nights it seems IMPOSSIBLE to sleep by how loud the music is. Not to mention Subwoofer speakers in that small space is absolutely NOT needed.Please turn it down.“

“Very fun place, food was great & the drinks were awesome! Plus they have an outdoor area which was really cool...

Parking: The parking was horrible, during the day you have to try & find a spot & pay meter but after 6pm you still have to find parking but you don't have to pay meter.“

“Great staff good food and the live entertainment was awsome!“

“I've done meal plans for years, I've tried almost every major recognizable meal plan service. Paid nearly $100/week for 4-5 meals everywhere, and quality to price ratio, maybe 7/10. The 5-meal plan from MMG here in Clifton (have ordered for over 6mos), the quality is consistent, the options are fantastic, and the taste is so good, makes you think you're having a cheat meal. Oh and you are paying under $10/meal. Kinda can't be beat. Nowhere is perfect, can't speak to the other negative reviews, but this place has my commit and hard recommendation.“

“It is a place where one can learn to listen to music from different countries, while also entertaining oneself by playing pool billiards. And of course enjoying a variety of liquors. Having the opportunity to deal with women and men and get to know different cultures.“

“Good times! Good friends! Great Service! 😜“

“Dope spot good food and drinks but went to watch sports a couple times and was a little disappointed. Big TVs at the bar but the went for size and not quality. That Walmart special was kind of hard to watch. Didn’t help that they have it set to Cool (blue) so it goes with the blue lit décor of the bar, but definitely come back for the DJ though.“

“Great wings! In case that was not clear great wings. You can tell they are fresh not frozen, cooked perfectly. Hot and moist throughout, crispy skin and good blue cheese too nice and chunky. Other items are good too. Burgers done right, Quesadillas are spot on fried raviolis we’re good too. One really good point here is they make a good side of tater tots if you want those rather than fries. Had many other good food items. They also have a good selection of beers on tap with good local brews and some of the old cheapies as well.“

“They serve the best tasting Filipino food I have tasted. My husband and I compared them to 4 other Filipino restaurants. We brought my mother and father-in-law here 3/17 and they APPROVE! She is kapampangan so she cooks very well! Their food here taste like her cooking. We highly recommend crispy pata, Kare-kare, bulalo, pakbet, pancit bihon and egg rolls! Been here 3x (January, Feb and March 2024).“

“Great wings. They are so delicious. Nobody has good wings like these in this area“
