“Village Green is our go to date night spot! The food is so delicious, everything on the menu is good, the chef is really spectacular. Our favourites are the short rib, pastas, and soups. The service is also great! I would highly recommend trying this restaurant to anyone.”
“First time I had Indian food was a few years ago in NC, and I was NOT impressed. We were up visiting my sister in Ridgewood and we went out for fathers day dinner at Tabla. We ordered a bunch of different appetizers and entrees and we shared them all. I was absolutely impressed. I totally enjoyed EVERY item. I especially liked the curry fish with coconut milk. The service was exceptional and very friendly, it was an entirely enjoyable experience. I heartily recommend this Indian Restaurant in Ridgewood, NJ.”
“Oh my gosh the food was amazing. The atmosphere for a date night was a 10 out of 10. Such a gem in the neighborhood. The surf and turf hand roll was immaculate. Had the ex-wife roll and literally it was so many flavors at once I was surprised at the creativity. The host and serving staff were also very timely and very welcoming. We will definitely be coming again.”

“My first visit to Salad House in Ridgewood was a great experience. I received a warm welcome from Chris, the manager. He was very courteous and polite. He took the time to explain the menu and answer my questions with great detail and enthusiasm. I ordered the Teriyaki Bowl and was very pleased; as it was very flavorful. The Falafel as well as chicken soup were very tasty! Very clean environment! The Salad House in Ridgewood will definitely be my go to place whenever I am in town!”

“My wife and I recently celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary at From Scratch, coinciding with the restaurant’s 10th anniversary, and it was an unforgettable evening that exceeded every expectation. From the moment we stepped into the warm, inviting space, the staff made us feel like honored guests, with a special nod to the milestone celebrations—both ours and theirs. The atmosphere buzzed with a joyful energy, perfectly balancing sophistication and comfort, as if the restaurant itself was toasting a decade of culinary excellence. The four-course tasting menu was a masterclass in flavor and creativity, each dish showcasing the kitchen’s dedication to crafting everything from scratch. I began with the beef tartare, a delicate yet bold starter. It set the tone for what was to come: precision and passion in every bite. My wife got the eggplant caponata for her first course, a vibrant dish that was both rustic and refined. It was a testament to how From Scratch elevates humble ingredients into something extraordinary. The handmade raviolis were an absolute highlight, each delicate parcel bursting with a silky ricotta filling. The pasta was so tender it practically melted, a labor of love that spoke to the restaurant’s name and ethos. We couldn’t stop raving about the texture—perfectly al dente, yet impossibly light. The mint added a hint of freshness to the dish, that I was originally hesitant about, but I’m happy I gave it a go! For the main courses, my wife got the lamb. Perfectly cooked to a rosy pink, it was fall-apart tender, and had a perfect crust on the outside. The dish was hearty yet elegant. Equally stunning were the scallops, seared to golden perfection with a buttery, caramelized crust. They sat around a small bed of caviar with purple mashed potatoes. Each bite was a harmonious balance of sea and earth. The meal concluded with a ricotta dessert that was nothing short of divine. The creamy, cloud-like ricotta mousse was paired with a coulis with ginger dough crumbs. It was the perfect sweet note to end the evening, light yet indulgent, with flavors that lingered long after the last spoonful. From Scratch isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a celebration of craft, community, and unforgettable moments. For our anniversary, we couldn’t have chosen a better place to mark the occasion, and we’re already looking forward to returning to see what the next decade brings for this culinary gem. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a dining experience that’s as heartfelt as it is delicious!”
“Off course there is food is very awesome they are way of carrying the people very different its never forgetteble moment its always memorable chef James I’ll recommend my friends and relatives we hope we will meet very soon thanks to everyone again ...”

“Have been for takeout and always love the price and quality. We ate in for the first time time week as expected great quality and price but the service left my entire party happy. We felt welcome as a party of 8 celebrating a birthday felt as relaxed as if we were home. Benny our waiter was top notch, attentive, polite and just amazing. The whole family loved the evening and Benny's service made the evening!”
“Great little spot in Ridgewood not to be overlooked. Super friendly and attentive service. Smiling staff who genuinely seem to like each other and enjoy their work. Healthy, tasty food. Exceptional coffees and teas. Sometimes hard to get in since it is so small, and that’s the only downside.”
“UPDATE: Theresa – Thank you for your response. We very much appreciated your heartfelt apology and you sending food over this weekend. Everything we had was delicious, and my granddaughter was very happy with her make-up birthday party! Everyone makes mistakes, and we thank you for rectifying the situation in such a polite and decent manner. I am updating my initial review as it is absolutely earned."”

“It is with a full stomach and heart that I am able to publicly share how wonderful Blu Sushi is. Not only is the fish the freshest, but it run by welcoming and friendly staff, chefs and owners. It is not often that you find a restaurant without any criticisms, but then I found Blu. The dining and take-out experiences are how all food establishments should be run. The staff are clearly happy and supported which makes it, without question, a smaller establishment that I am happy to patronize. If you are reading this and considering ordering or not, just do it. You will not be disappointed with the high quality for a great price . Thank you Blu, for the amazing food and homey feel :)”

“Amazing place, owned by amazing people. I have been coming here for years. The bubble tea is the best I have ever had. Try their lychee fruit tea and their mango fruit tea. It’s fresh and yum. They just started catering as well! Needless to say highly highly recommend! Nothing but good things to say!!!”

“The most amazing experience ever. Can’t say enough. Both Mary and Philip are the sweetest and were absolutely a pleasure to work with. I had a Valentine’s event on feb15th which needed to be rescheduled to the 22nd and I canceled the order last minute for 30 boxes of chocolate covered strawberries. They didn’t charge me a single cent. I got the same order for the following week and they did an absolutely amazing job. The BEST CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES EVER!!!! I highly recommend them and they have loyal customer for life ❤️❤️”

“Great service! Lots of options and if it’s too much like it is for me the gentleman in the front had plenty of recommendations. These photos is the Buffalo Mac n cheese which was so good and the chicken parm this for me was my favorite , and the steak with Chimichurri! Will for sure be back because there is so many options. Highly recommended”
“I've been coming here for years and this place is always on point! One of the best local ramen spots in my opinion and VERY affordable for what you get! The staff are always very kind and attentive, and the service is pretty quick depending on how crowded it is. I just wish they stayed open later than 9pm on weekends! Definitely try to pay with cash if you want a free piece of mochi ice cream btw! We shared the pork gyoza for apps ($6.50), then I got the Miso ramen and he got the beef ramen ($12.50 each). You can adjust the level of spiciness too if you'd like, they go from no spicy to super spicy. I have been here a number of times and I always plan on coming back :)”

“Every single thing we ordered was decadent and delish. We got:
🥐 breakfast sandwich w/ bacon
🥐 bacon, egg & cheese hand pie
🥐 baked potato pretzel twist
🥐 banana bread
🥐 espresso chai scone
🥐 pineapple upside down crueller
And we drank ice coffee, warm apple cider and an iced chai.
Some of the flavors are unexpected but I think that’s what makes this place fun. The laminated dough was insane. So flakey. So buttery. Soooo good. The baked potato pretzel twist and breakfast sandwich on everything roll were my favorites - could’ve eaten 12 of each.”
“I’ve been coming here for over 5 years, and the place is always clean with absolutely delicious food. The owner and staff are always so kind, and every visit leaves me in a great mood. Personally, I think the food here is even better than in Manhattan. Highly recommend!”
“The Ridgewood Paris Baguette is fantastic. What sets them apart from other locations are the people. Everyone there is great. We visit every Sunday morning and seeing and speaking with Helen and Mae always brings smiles to our faces. They are absolutely positively wonderful !”
“Tried the USR location this morning as it's located around the corner from my office. Front staff was friendly, attentive, and helpful with assisting me to navigate options as a first time visitor. There was no line and I quickly received my to-go order. The ham, egg, and cheese croissant was delicious- fluffy and flaky, not at all greasy, and the perfect cheese pull. Can't wait to return to try desserts and coffee!”
“We stopped in to try this place out. The person working was very nice and friendly. He helped guide us a little. I really enjoyed my banana smoothie and my daughters got a strawberry slushy style drink that they keep asking for. We will return for sure. Place was spacious and clean!”
“Great food and service! we had lobster rolls and shared an order of clay strip and fries! was as good as being down the shore. in the past we have had burgers sitting outside with our dogs. the owner would always bring a big bowl of water for them. oh and delicious hand scooped milk shakes! go you won't be sorry.”

“I have to say I was pleasantly surprised when upon entering this establishment. I haven't really had good experiences with trying new icecream places. But not only was this locations Dairy Queen clean the icecream was beyond my expectations 😋👍 I will post 2 pictures that I took while at the store. I ate a simple vanilla cone with Rainbow 🌈 sprinkles. My best friend and I loved it! We will definitely be back. Thank you for our great experience 👍”
“The original bubble tea! Lots of choices and options, you'd probably never tire of the place. Service can sometimes be a bit slow, especially if there's many orders queued (they do their best though.) Lots of topping choices, but that unfortunately can add up in cost. The drinks are high quality and delicious.”
“I lived in Ridgewood and grew up on Wilkes potato salad. I moved to the Midwest in 1987 where they do not know what a true deli is.
Last year I had the opportunity to pass through Ridgewood, buying 4 lb of potato salad to take home! It is absolutely addictive!
If you haven't already, I would put your recipe in fort Knox and closely guard it! It's that good!”
“We have been going to Felinas since 2019. Chef Joe, Frank, and the entire staff make us feel like family. We have many personal and professional occasions celebrated there and will continue to do so. Thank you, Felina Ridgewood”
“It is a smaller BYOB restaurant offering small plates and a few larger portion options. Limited vegetarian options with more seafood choices. Service was good and I rushed. I would stick to small plates.”
“Great place all you can eat sushi. Service was good and it was clean.”
“I heard Mamas dumplings were amazing and they did not disappoint. We asked for the peanut sauce and I’m pretty sure I dreamed about how delicious they were. Also had pork fried rice that was awesome. Glad we found it, definitely my new top Chinese food spot!”
“I never liked sushi and ive lived my life hating it. Until i continuosly tried it over and over again. WASABI did the trick. I absolutely loved the experience i had here with my coworkers. And the sushi was not only deleicious but it was also fresh. Not to mention the people that work here are wonderful.”

All in all a treat from start to finish.”
