“The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were warm and welcoming. A great place to grab a quick bite!“

“I visited Icy Melon in Edison for the first time a few weeks ago, and it was a pleasant surprise. The environment is quiet and low key, which makes it easy to relax but the seating could definitely use an upgrade. It’s not the coziest spot to linger, but the food more than makes up for it.

I had one of their signature crepes, and my friend tried the matcha crepe cake. Both were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious.

We didn’t wait long for our order, which was a nice bonus. You can tell they put care into both flavor and aesthetics in their food.

While the vibe is more functional than cozy, Icy Melon is perfect for a quick dessert run or a casual catch up with friends. If you’re craving something sweet and photogenic, it’s definitely worth a visit.“

“Loved this cute little place!!! My daughter and I were out and about, and wanted to get some coffee, but not from the regular “chain” coffee shop, so after a quick search, we headed to Metuchen. We were lucky enough to get parking right outside, and walked in to be pleasantly surprised by the esthetic vibe. Everything was super clean, and we were greeted right away by the super friendly employee. My daughter ordered a cappuccino and I got iced coffee. We also got a cheese and pesto savory pastry and a passion fruit and coconut tres leches dessert. Everything was delicious!!!!! Thanks for the enjoyable experience. We will definitely return.“

“Owners are super nice and the service was quick and kind! Very nice place to go to eat some yummy halal food with mexican addition to it! I got the mango smoothie and it was thick and yummy! Korean corndog too as well as the chipotle chicken salad“

“Stopped by last Friday - just took a chance.
Pleasantly surprised how good the food was.
Had the vegetable tikka pizza - well made crust was perfect.
Also had the saag paneer and naan - both were very good and came with side of rice.

Their menu is bit confusing and hard to follow but glad we tried.

Very reasonably priced - try it out!“

“Was there for the first time tonight and plan to be back again soon. The place is fantastic. First off, Dave (I am assuming the owner) and Danny our server, were super gracious and inviting and offered some great suggestions. I had the birria tacos which were great. We were a part of 4 and everybody loved their meals. My wife is a vegetarian and there were plenty of options for her. The guacamole was perfect. Street corn appetizer was fantastic. I highly recommend! Best Mexican food in East Brunswick.“

“We love the atmosphere, the delicious homemade soups, main dishes, and desserts at the lovely Friends Friend's Cafe :) the jazz evenings outdoors, the chess-playing and studying students & Mo, Josephine, and Hannah with the heart of gold for all furry friends who are welcome inside the cafe, and, of course, on the patio <3 <3 <3 Below is our Rover enjoying his doggie meal and a comfy bed at the cafe :)“

“A place filled with warmth and hospitality!

David, the manager, along with the entire front desk team on duty at 7:00 PM on Friday, December 19, 2025, surpassed all expectations through their exceptional professionalism and attentiveness. The availability of halal dining options was particularly commendable, allowing my children the freedom to dine according to their preferences. I extend my sincere appreciation to corporate leadership for their thoughtful inclusion of the Muslim community. Additionally, the hot chicken prepared by David was outstanding and greatly enjoyed.“

Sorry babe. It was AMAZING! TACO STOP, THE PLACE TO GO WHEN YOU’RE ON THE GO! Recommended 100%+ You won’t regret it!“

“Amazing dogs. Every stand should be like this one. Nice owner as well. Great pricing! Support this stand!“

“This is truly a hidden gem on Main Street, Sayreville. The front of the restaurant features an ice cream parlor, so the real Thai restaurant is very easily overlooked. There's a rear entrance directly into the restaurant from the side street. This was our first time ordering takeout from here. Amazingly wonderful food. We ordered the Red Curry and the Thai Grill and I never have tasted such delicious Thai food ever before!!!! It's a cozy little place to actually sit down and eat. Among all the Thai restaurants in the surrounding area, I will rate this a 5*, A++++ Next time we plan to actually sit down and have a meal at the restaurant, rather than take out. Highly recommend.“

“My granddaughter had her graduation dinner here. It was absolutely fabulous. Lovely atmosphere, fantastic service & the food was amazing. Can’t say enough how great this restaurant is. I would highly recommend this restaurant to family & friends.“

“what an amazing place. came to hear the Openers band the pizza was the best I have had in a long time. The owners were so involved and very nice. I live an hour away. I will be back.“

“This is the combination I didn’t know I needed until I had it and can’t live without it now! When you walk in, the beautiful BBQ smells grace you along with a friendly welcome. We had the half and half - the jerk pork was so tasty and the jerk chicken was to die for! The meat is tender and flavorful. The rice is a surprising main character to accompany the meats. Must try spot!“

“I recently discovered Good Vibes Cafe in Fords, NJ, and it has quickly become our go-to spot. John and Angelica, the owners, create an atmosphere that is not only friendly but genuinely welcoming. Every visit feels like a warm, positive experience. My son and I have spent countless enjoyable hours at the cafe, often hanging out with their wonderful daughter Jade. The teas and shakes are a delight, offering a refreshing and diverse selection. The ambiance is just perfect for relaxing and unwinding. And let's talk about the donuts – they are out of this world! The flavors are unique, and the freshness is unbeatable. Each bite feels like a little piece of heaven. Good Vibes Cafe is more than just a place to grab a drink or snack; it's an experience filled with warmth, great company, and, of course, fantastic treats. If you're in Fords, NJ, do yourself a favor and soak in the good vibes at this exceptional cafe.“

“This is my favorite bubble tea place EVER!! The brown sugar bubble tea is almost addictive and the only time I don’t get it is when it’s closed on Wednesdays. The macarons are incredible too. I have never been to a place like this where I come back to it constantly. I would give 10000 stars if possible“

“very good food and polite and professional 👌“

“Excellent. As always. Chris and Jo are very welcoming. We have found our new favorite breakfast place and our new favorite fried chicken. Nothing is ever greasy, it is always flavorful, and the chicken is crispy and cooked to perfection. Thank you both for never disappointing!“

“Food is amazing. Always fresh and delicious“

“I've had the best pizza and the food was cooked well. on many orders take out and dine in one of the best places when shopping at mid state mall.“

“It was my first time visiting this place, and I had such a great experience! The customer service was amazing. Isha was so friendly, approachable, and patient. She was super helpful when I wasn’t sure what to order, and even when my phone died right as I was about to pay. She handled it so kindly. The smoothie I got was absolutely delicious too! Overall, I had a wonderful first visit and can’t wait to come back. Huge thanks to Isha for being so awesome!“

“No longer in actual food trucks, but they taste the same. Their service is quick. Still the best fat sandwiches I’ve bought. Everywhere else is just a copy. A staple in the grease trucks community that you have to try at least once. Whenever I’m around Rutgers I have to get one. Fat Nini w/ extra honey mustard!“

“awesome porkroll egg and cheese sandwiches!!!!!!“

“Tiny location, packs a pearl.... comedy. ?I love their Thai Tea Boba and their waffles are amazing ?? whether you like croffles or their house made (?) batter. All smoothies I've had have been delicious as well as their Dolgona(hope I'm spelling that right) coffee boba! SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS??tons of parking btw!“

“This place is the most solid and consistent American Chinese restaurant in the entire New Brunswick area. Portions are fantastic and the food is always so hot and fresh. They are happy to accommodate my vegan partner by subbing tofu for meat in already vegan dishes.“

“We went there with my mom, who isn’t vegan, and we all loved it (so much so that we didn’t take many pictures)!! The highlights for me were the Sweet & Sour “Chicken” because I feel like it’s not offered very often - & it was sooo good - and the Thai Iced Tea with oat milk b/c it was yum-azing too!!! 🤤“

“Loved everything about it! The taste, the texture, that SATISFYING crunch 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾 can’t wait to go back“
