“El peor restaurante en el área el encargado con la peor actitud un patán prepotente abusivo no recomiendo este lugar basura a nadie. we went to this place for dinner with the family. the manager with the worst attitude ever didn't give us the table because we were waiting for 1 more person we told him he was 3 minutes away and with he's terrible attitude said no and after that he got mad because we grab on of the menus and told us to move out the way from the bar. He was so disrespectful. I would never recommend this place to nobody.“

“A popular buffet in NJ, been here many times, never had a problem with fresh food or service. After walking in, be seated by the front desk host. You can get water or order soda. Get a new plate every time you go to get food, try not to waste too much.

Sushi is in front, with the desserts, fruit, and salad bar. In the center are fried foods, meat, soup, potatoes, etc. Hibachi (fresh fried on a grill , like noodles, eggs, shrimp etc.) in the back, dollar cash tips are good.

Popular for parties, kids and adults can all enjoy. Plenty of tables and decent parking. Quick service. 2025 weekday dinner price is $17 plus tax and tip, includes seafood. Lunch, before 3pm, is cheaper.“

“There are a very few Chinese restaurants that are authentic so this is definitely one! We ordered the spicy tofu flavor fish which was sooo good! It was just the right spicy and flavorful. With some rice on the side, it was just perfect! We also got some beef skewers and barbecue chicken wings to go and they were great too! But the fish wins any day! :)“

“Amazing food and service ❤️“

“Food was good; Drinks are very good“

“Enjoyed our crawfish boil. Good food, friendly staff and clean and spacious location. We will be back.“

“Good food and atmosphere and service always on point and both courteous and prompt ….. make a an awesome Pomegranate Martini 🍸“

“Great food. Welcoming you from the door and checking on you throughout needs some work. Hostess wasn’t hospitable.“

“If you like Red lobster’s endless shrimp, this place is great with unlimited shrimp for $25 per person, but only on Monday. Shrimp tastes not too bad with 6 different dishes, including spaghetti, fried rice, coconut shrimp, shrimp tempura, sweet sour shrimp and garlic shrimp with vermicelli. You can always find one you like, I recommend coconut shrimp, sweet sour shrimp and garlic shrimp with vermicelli.

For fish, sour fish soup is their signature with different varieties of fish you can choose. A lot of vegetables in the fish soup including tofu skin, pickled cabbage, lettuce root, cucumber and enoki mushrooms. Taste not the best, but not too bad as well.

I highly recommend their desserts including red bean moon cake and sweet lotus stuffed with sticky rice, very delicious and must try!“

“Had to drive over 45 minutes to get to this place. I’m giving this a 5 star because this is probably the best fish soup you are going to get in NJ. There are however much better places for this in Flushing Queens which would be double the driving time for me. The fish soup is good. Not the best. For the best, my go to place is still this place called Fish With You in Flushing. Give this place a try! Everything is good.

Update: had the comb for 2. The fish came under flavored. Needed some time to marinade in the soup. After it was better. We got the fried pork belly which is good. But can’t have too much because it is heavy. The glutinous cubes were fried so it was crispy on the outside and doughy on the inside. The syrup is used to dip and it serves as a good dessert to finish the meal off.“

“Excellent service. What’s the owner name“

“Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend:)“

“Creative food, friendly staff, always delicious.“

“While the food was good and service was generally fine, I indicated that we were celebrating a birthday on the open table reservation, added a note about it, and mentioned it to our server. Nothing was done to acknowledge the birthday at all. This was disappointing. A restaurant at this price level should be more attentive to matters like this.“

“We ordered delivery to Union. Our order arrived about 30 min early and was fresh, hot and delicious!! I highly recommend this location and will become a regular customer.“

“Host was friendly and gave us options rather than waiting so we took the high table instead of booth. Our server was amazing. Lovely lady. Shout out to Ellen G. Attentive and made us feel like we owned the place. A comfort not found in many places. She had many tables but made us feel like the only ones in her line up. Appreciate the love, Ellen. See you soon. 10/10“

“A Steak Lover's Paradise: Strickland's Steakhouse Our recent holiday dinner at Strickland's Steakhouse was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we stepped into the elegant dining room, we were greeted with warm hospitality and attentive service. Eva, our server, was truly exceptional. Her extensive knowledge of the menu and daily specials made our dining experience even more enjoyable. She was attentive, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile. The appetizers were a delightful prelude to the main course. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The steaks were the highlight of the evening. The Japanese A5 Wagyu was a revelation - tender, juicy, and incredibly flavorful. Every bite was pure indulgence. To top off the meal, we indulged in a variety of delectable desserts and rich coffees. The perfect ending to a perfect evening. Strickland's Steakhouse is a must-visit for any steak lover. The combination of exceptional food, impeccable service, and elegant ambiance makes it a truly memorable dining experience. We highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning in the future.“

“best grill chicken platter and zinger love it fresh chicken always“

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

“ALWAYS delicious - I try to stop here whenever I am in the Cranford area. I’ve been a fan of this Jersey Shore style seafood joint for a couple decades. Fresh, perfectly prepared dishes that always allow the seafood to shine. Fried or broiled flounder and any kind of shrimp are a personal favorite. I always judge a restaurant by it’s side salad and here it’s never an afterthought, fresh and so tasty - they should bottle their house dressing it’s off the chart.“

“great food, service, and strong drinks“

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

“Lovely auntie makes the best samosa chaat I’ve ever had! Literally so mouthwatering“

“It was a wonderful experience trying Lebanese cuisine for the first time. I love everything my daughter-in-law ordered. My favorite was the Old City Platter. I got to try different things. The hummus plate was awesom❤️‍🩹“

“The host Ranjitha and team deccan spice were excellent. Would recommend to everybody😊“

“Very delicious. Many healthy and tasty soup base options for chicken hot pot. The chicken is fresh and juicy. You also have the options of other meets (beef, lamb, fish, etc) as add on. They also have a tons options for appitizer and deserts. Highly recommanded.“

“The soups at Nai Brother are amazing! If you like pickled flavors, this is the dish for you. So far, we've tried the house signature and the sour pickled pepper with flounder. I highly recommend them, and we plan on going back to try more flavors. What I like best is that this dish is large enough to share.“

“This was the first time we had just an average experience. I was taking a friend out to celebrate her birthday because we always love the excellent service and food. Yesterday things worked out in the end (through a manager) but several negative things occurred. For one thing, the filet mignon/lobster tail combination was not cooked properly. One order was for “medium” and it was totally rare. Had to get manager because server was busy bartending and waitressing. The manager took the meat back and had it recooked. Also, the lobster tail was extremely tiny. We have had this dish before, and the tail was always small but not tiny small. Ok, so now I am eating by myself while my friend is waiting for her dinner. BTW! It came out very rare again. The manager offered my friend a soup or salad so she could eat something while waiting. The Caesar salad was chosen. The croutons were stale. A new piece of meat was cooked up...finally to perfection. Took three tries! The birthday desserts were delicious and the chicken pesto appetizer was perfect. We do not think the service was up to par since we have always had such friendly servers. Another waitress came out to us because we felt like she was avoiding us. As I said, it worked out because the meals were taken care of, but i hope we do not experience this again. Seasons 52 has been one of my favorite restaurant and of course, I will give it another try!“

“Excellent service and the food is AMAZING! We live going there for the Oysters“

“Great friendly atmosphere and great fresh food“

“excelente servicio 👍 y la comida muy rica muy amable la atención, 100 % recomendado“

“Justo ahora vine, a comer empanadas, y la atención de la nena fue la Mejor, tan amable, 💕💕💕“

“Amazing fresh sushi and wonderful staff. Was amazed by the freshness and value. Will be back soon for sure.“

“I ordered over the phone and immediately on the phone I knew I called the right place because the man on the phone was super nice and very patient.
When I went in for my pickup he was nice as soon as I came in and made sure I had everything I needed to depart. Loved it.“

“It would be easy to overlook this place. It’s buried way in the back of a strip mall. The interior ambience isn’t anything to brag about, either. Yet it is a true gem with amazing food at good prices and excellent service. My wife and I each ordered pizzas. She got the 12” Chicken Pesto and I ordered the 12” Meat Lover’s. Both came out promptly. It was amazing, the best pizza I’ve had in years. I can’t say too many good things about it. Everything was in perfect harmony, a symphony of umami and cheese. Meatballs, sausage, bacon. It had it all. Each bite a delight. My wife also loved her pizza. We stopped in on a Monday on the way up north for a show. There were a few tables occupied but I would imagine it probably gets busy on weekends. Even so, I would make a point of stopping in here again next time I’m passing through the area at dinner time.“

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

“I am a big sticker for fried food not being greasy and this was the first time I have ever been to this restaurant. The chicken came out HOT which is extremely important and had just the right seasoning. When I didn't see greasy chicken or the paper inside greasy I tried one and before I knew it I had eaten five wings waiting for the rest of my food. And I bought 12 pieces to take home and share. Also try the bean pie OMG I literally ate the entire thing. I purchased the small one. I don't usually eat the crust but it was so delicious.“

“The food is delicious! My union had a black history dinner and Two Fish & Five Loaves catered the food! Very tasty and delicious! I don’t trust a lot soul food restaurants due to tons of sodium and grease but Two Fish & Five Loaves was just right! I will like to one day dine in. I highly recommend this place for catering!“

“If you're looking for an upscale spot with mouthwatering dishes, look no further than this place. The food is out of this world - especially the steak. Each bite is like a slice of heaven. And the best part? They didn't rush us at all. We were able to savor every last bite without feeling pressured to finish quickly. Overall, a truly fantastic dining experience that I can't wait to repeat, but parking can be a bit tough.“

“Great food 😋 👌 awesome environment!!!“

“This is hands down the best restaurant in NJ right now. The 8 course tasting menu is phenomenal, each dish balanced with unique flavors and texture, and beautiful plated. Our server explained each dish in detail, was extremely knowledgeable of the ingredients and dishes, and very friendly. He consistently topped off our drinks as needed and meticulously provided a new place setting for each course. The ambiance was very relaxing as we sat on the 2nd floor, with beautiful hip, modern decor. I was particularly intrigued by the faucet in the bathroom which was very unique. The overall attention to detail from the concept and design to the food and service is what sets it apart. Fine dining at its best with a relaxed atmosphere that easily compares to a Michelin star restaurant.

Free on site parking is available and it is a BYOB. A liquor store is conveniently located next door in case you forget to bring your libations.“

“My Step Dad Recently had went for his birthday dinner, with my mom and my step family and wanted to share they recommend this place(they don’t have social media). They had a big party of like 20 people. Food was delicious, servers and service were amazing. Everyone got their food at the same time. They were extremely happy with the restaurant.“

“The service was really excellent. The food was delicious. I was having a party for a member of my staff and it could not be more perfect.“

“Best pork roll, egg and cheese around made with TLC.“

“UPDATE: Came back a 2nd time a week later with more family. Food and Service was A+++
Looks like we will be regulars.

Service and Food was DELICIOUS 🤤 Raw Oysters, Combo #3 and Combo #4 in Garlic Sauce. Will absolutely come back!“

“Love the food - great variety with amazing taste. Everything is made fresh. Great atmosphere and very clean and friendly. Highly recommend!“
