Restaurants in Union City

“Loved this place. Cute little surprise in my neighborhood. Place was small but very charming. Staff was very accommodating, attentive and quick. Food looked and tasted amazing. Very flavorful. The icing on the cake was the music as they happened to play my type of alternative bands. This is definitely a 5 star spot ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Incredible quality food, great personable service, friendly atmosphere all for an extremely affordable price. If you live in Union City, you’ve GOT to eat at Summit Pizza Cafe!”

“Went there a while back with my boyfriend, and hands down, one of the best date nights of our lives. The food was delicious, the service was incredible. The host was so attentive, and personally came to our table to check if everything was good.
We typically don't order desserts, but that night, we called for their oreo cheesecake, I still get dreams about that.
All in all, I never leave reviews, but if you are in the area, please do give it a try. It's for sure to unlock some core memories for you.”

“Gonzalo did a great job here, with the food, the drink, you will feel like your grandma is cooking for you, and Grandpa is making your favorite drink. By far my favorite spot in this area”

“delicious savory and sweet crepes”

“Super friendly and pastries are delicious!”

“Great spot. I enjoyed the sausage and egg sandwiche and my family loved the bread I took home. The pineapple cake needs a touch to make it a 5. But it was ok. Coffee was tasty and did it's thing. I left happy.”

“I stumbled upon this inviting hidden spot on my way to work, and I'm so glad I did! The incredible smell of bacon coming from this cozy café was impossible to resist. As I stepped inside, I was warmly greeted by the staff and immediately felt at home.

The atmosphere is inviting and intimate, with a lovely corner dedicated to instruments which I discovered they host live music events on Saturdays.

I ordered the bacon egg and cheese sandwich, and it was nothing short of delicious.

I highly recommend this charming café to anyone looking for a warm and welcoming spot with outstanding food. I'll definitely be back!”

“Amazing food, very clean environment. Great staff. Beyond reasonable prices!!!! Strongly recommend.”

Everything here is so fresh – from their juices and wellness shots to their sandwiches and coffee. You can really taste the quality in every bite and sip. What makes it even better is the amazing, all-women staff who are always welcoming, warm, and genuinely friendly. It’s refreshing to find a spot that prioritizes both healthy options and great service. Highly recommend if you’re looking for delicious, wholesome eats and drinks in the area!”

I told my daughter Ashley about this outstanding Cuban Restaurant and she can't wait to dine there! I highly recommend, The Cuban Restaurant...it is the Gem of Union City New Jersey!?”

Parking: There’s a parking lot on 39th street close to bergenline ave. I recommend to park there if struggling parking”

I also tried the corviches and they had a lot of fish inside, also delicious!
Recommended”

“I love this outlet! No matter who is making your sandwich they always are super attentive. I am a repeat customer since 2 years and they even make better sandwiches on doordash deliveries if you request something extra. Kudos the outlet owner and their team!”

“I brought my family here on Valentine’s Day, as I remembered that they decorate the restaurant and offer special deals. My 5 and 7 year old loved the atmosphere and the service we received was second to none. Our family enjoyed the food that was prepared quickly, as we sat at our reserved booth. The restaurant was tastefully decorated for Valentine's Day, with themed tablecloths, candles and special menus for the event. The owner and staff were pleasant and politely accommodated our food order requests. This location in particular is a must to dine in and experience the charm of the oldest burger franchise! We will definitively return and happily give them our business again.”

“Was visiting from Canada and we had the best Pizza we ever !! Excellent customer service !!!👍👍👍”

“Love this place, looks like it was lifted from Brooklyn and placed in this corner. It’s cozy and very eclectic, uniquely furnished, has a bunch of tiny unique items scattered through the space for sale, like candles, flower vases, other small decorative item. More importantly they have a menu with a variety of beverages and pastries and I believe sandwiches (not quite sure if I saw sandwiches on the menu but definitely a variety of pastries). This is going to be my new goto spot”

“Everything there is good the ppl that works once you go there like I do are like family ,the food is amazing,l over everything....”

“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.”

“Extremely attentive cashier, and taco stand inside feel. But what blew my mind was the ceviche tostados!! So fresh, big portion. And for a very value affordable price. Amazing.”

“Changing my review HORRENDOUS service! Rude beyond comprehension cause lately the lady in the phone has an attitude the man who brings the food smells like cigarettes cause he’s always smoking I’m guessing she’s the wife her attitude is not professional I No longer order from them PANDA HOUSE 17st bergenline the best people are very nice on the phone and there very professional”

The vodka slice was 10/10

“All the food is delicious, very good and they are very friendly, the bad thing is that the place is small and not very familiar to eat there, it is very noisy

Kid-friendliness: The place is small and next door it has a small bar and personally I think they are very noisy, I don't like to eat there.”

“I haven’t had fried flounder this good in a long time. I had it with the ceviche on top, …. Insane !!! The Colombian gentleman was extremely welcoming & professional. I enjoyed my lunch today. It was one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. Wanted to take the time to give them a shout out. This location.”

“This place is a hidden gem. Great food and the family who runs the restaurant is super friendly. Someone else mentioned that the prices seem like they're from the last decade and I agree, you can't beat under 10 dollars for fried rice and an entree in 2025.”

“Excelente la comida la atención ambiente agradable”

“It’s now called Mister Elote Frutas but they’re really good. I ordered a green juice and bought some cut up pineapples and mangoes. My fiancé said that the pineapple tasted fresh! The prices are more than fair. I would definitely go back to try out their other juices.”

“I really like the food and its low prices. The place is very clean and even the owner takes care of you. It's a place you definitely have to visit if you're in the area.”

“El Progreso is a cozy little restaurant, focused on typical Central American food and with very good service. I like to go, at least once a week, to share with my family the delicious tamales, baleadas, pupusas and tacos, accompanied by a delicious beet spice that they serve to their special clients. Tamarind and orchata waters are our favorites. Solidarity prices!”

“I go for the to go application. My husband likes cakes. We are from Uruguay and we go far from Newark, NJ to get about 3 bags. They serve us very well and the owner was kind and gave us a pudding and we ate it at the holidays. Visit the place and try their cakes”

“I was missing the music and culture of Mexico. I’m a gringo on the outside, but Mexican in my heart. Found this play while visiting a friend in Union City. The music was fantastic the waitress helped me with my Spanish.”

“Muy rica comida ecuatoriana”

“What an epic place. We drove over while visiting Hoboken and it was worth the trip. Super friendly staff, clean restaurant, large TV’s to watch the game- and the pizza was perfect! Thank you very much for the swag for my DePalma friends. We will be back soon. DePalma’s pizzeria enjoys my strongest recommendation. A+++”

Highly recommend stopping by for a convenient and pleasant shopping experience!”

“We used them 3 years ago for my son’s 5th bday during Covid. They were great. They had a TON of options that the parents were excited to get some milkshakes. Highly recommend.”

“Without a doubt, they are the delicacies of Ecuadorian gastronomy. The manabita flavor present in the US. Thank you for delighting palates with exquisite flavors.”

“I had breakfast at this cafe today and it was a great experience overall. We ordered breakfast along with fresh orange juice. The juice was freshly squeezed and tasted delicious, just like the food. The man at the counter was very friendly and also spoke English, which was helpful. The decoration of the place is also lovely.
The only downside was that the tables could have been a bit cleaner.”

“The food here was absolutely delicious. This restaurant is cozy with an atmosphere you'd come to expect from a mom and pop shop. Service was great and the personnel were warm and friendly. Glad I was able to stop here during my trip to New Jersey! Thanks for the great experience!”

“El mejor restaurante de salvadoreño”

“everything and the excitement service the staff super nice and attentive love Juanas' im a happy customer for more than 30 yesrs❤❤❤❤❤”

“NO JOKE! The best empanada I've ever had!!!Its golden, flaky pastry shell was perfectly crisp. The filling itself was chock’full of seasoned meats, onions, and a hint of spice. Every bite was a burst of savory goodness, making it a memorable and must-try treat for anyone seeking an exceptional empanada.

Vegetarian options: Cheese all day! Plenty of options for vegetarians.

Kid-friendliness: Some of the nicest people in the world run this store. They are friendly and what kid DOESN’T like empanadas????!!!!!”

“Hermoso lugar. Visitando de Florida Bizcochos frescos. Yerba Canaria 🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐”

“Food is generous and outstanding”

“Hot bread is good and always tempting!”

“english and spanish at bottom review bottom if you're from el salvador youll get bad to mediocre service. they rather serve people with different ethnicityThe people in this establishment were extremely rude. My familyy came in and ordered and everyone around us got served before us after she heard us, mind you our waiter there telling his side they arrived after us.55 minutes later, ( we ordered 14 pupusas amd 1 soup.) table in front and behind a party of 8 people each received their rice steaks, seafood appetizers. When we asked the waiter about it, he came off extremely rude arguing trying to prove he’s right that and we’re in the wrong…he said the others came after but ordered first before us… not right! in reality all he had to do was apologize for the wait and find out how long till food comes out. he had a face like miserable…. he wasn’t happy working there, and the manager, an older blonde lady, didn’t even offer an apology. while talking to her our server was there too again being a lawyer. the lady really seemed she wasn’t interested in us since place was busy due to salvadorian parade. She just said to pay for our drinks and leave. What a disaster. Bathroom not as clean when they’re busy. toilet had splatters of crap on sear and floor was slippery. also some air freshener wouldn’t hurt. Place is tight space and dark. there are stairs inside to dining room and 16 steps downstairs to go to restroom. so if you’re in a wheelchair, good luck. place doesn’t look like its up to code. atmosphere is not that friendly and dark not enough lighting. mirrors are dirty in dining room. Food no chance to eat. Si eres de el salvador tendrás un servicio de malo a mediocre. Prefieren atender a personas de diferentes etnias. La gente de este establecimiento fue extremadamente grosera. Mi familia entró y ordenó y todos los que nos rodeaban fueron atendidos antes que nosotros después de que ella nos escuchó, tenga en cuenta que nuestro camarero le dijo a su lado que llegaron después de nosotros. 55 minutos después (pedimos 14 pupusas y 1 sopa), mesa al frente y detrás un grupo de 8 personas recibió cada uno sus filetes de arroz, aperitivos de mariscos. Cuando le preguntamos al camarero al respecto, se mostró extremadamente grosero argumentando que intentaba demostrar que tenía razón y que nosotros estábamos equivocados... dijo que los demás vinieron después pero ordenaron primero antes que nosotros... ¡no está bien! en realidad todo lo que tenía que hacer era disculparse por la espera y averiguar cuánto falta para que salga la comida. tenía una cara como miserable…. no estaba contento trabajando allí y la gerente, una señora rubia mayor, ni siquiera se disculpó. Mientras hablaba con ella, nuestro camarero también estaba allí como abogado. La señora realmente parecía que no estaba interesada en nosotros ya que el lugar estaba ocupado debido al desfile salvadoreño. Ella solo dijo que pagáramos nuestras bebidas y nos fuéramos. Qué desastre. El baño no está tan limpio cuando están ocupados. El inodoro tenía salpicaduras de basura y el piso estaba resbaladizo. Además, un poco de ambientador no vendría mal. El lugar es un espacio reducido y oscuro. Hay escaleras adentro que conducen al comedor y 16 escalones abajo para ir al baño. así que si estás en silla de ruedas, buena suerte. El lugar no parece cumplir con el código. El ambiente no es tan amigable y oscuro, no hay suficiente iluminación. Los espejos están sucios en el comedor. Comida sin posibilidad de comer.”

“Kevin digale al chef no poner mucha sal a las lentejas please.”

“Cubetazo is $33 and the margaritas at $16 in a plastic cup, too much. The music is fine.”

“my husband and I, has such a great time there I recommended LGBQTplus community. The owner welcomed us with open arms in a warm smile.”

“I had the best wings I’ve ever eaten yesterday at this place. What we ordered was the wings with the chipotle barbecue sauce. Absolutely scrumptious! Incredible balance of hot, sweet, and smoky flavors. as others have said, there is a short wait for this wonderfully prepared food. Run, don’t walk!”

“The bowl was excellent and exceeded my expectations. The cashier at the front named Alex made sure that I got the best bowl and service. I can honestly say I’ll be coming here again. Amazing flavors and amazing staff.”

“The best Dominican food is sold there and that I am Dominican and I still have no meal so good that it is. [Original] La mejor comida dominicana la venden ahi y ESO yo soy dominicana y todavia no eh provado una comida tan Buena que esta.”

“Incredible quality food, great personable service, friendly atmosphere all for an extremely affordable price. If you live in Union City, you’ve GOT to eat at Summit Pizza Cafe!”

“Came to ihop for our son's birthday breakfast and enjoyed ourselves. Our server was so hospitable, she always had refills for our drinks before we finished them and despite being very, very busy - she was still so polite and went out of her way to sing happy birthday to my son. The food was great and their specials were very well priced. The interior of the restaurant was worn down and a little dirty, it could definitely use some revamping.”

“Loved this place. Cute little surprise in my neighborhood. Place was small but very charming. Staff was very accommodating, attentive and quick. Food looked and tasted amazing. Very flavorful. The icing on the cake was the music as they happened to play my type of alternative bands. This is definitely a 5 star spot ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
