“I love food. I love to eat it. I love to cook it. But food to me has always been more than just something to eat. I like to study process. Fun to me is to be able to be in a restaurant kitchen and talk to the chef while he’s making a dish. I want to be able to see what he’s doing and ask about it. Why are you taking the dish off the fire so quickly? Why are you using canned peeled tomatoes rather than fresh? I want to know everything. To me, process can be just as exciting as being presented with the beautiful and delicious final product. This evening, I stopped at an unusual pasta restaurant - All' Assassina. https://www.allassassina.com/ They call themselves the killer pasta project. It’s different. It has an open kitchen. The small dining room is colorful – eye catching. You go up to the front and order your pasta. You decide what will be added in – mushrooms, capers, tomatoes, chicken, olives and more. And then the chef makes it right in front of you. The owner told me that not everybody watches. They’re missing out. This restaurant is offering dinner and a show. And the cooking here is a performance. You get to see what goes into your food and how it is made. It gives you an additional appreciation for what you are about to savor. All the senses go on alert. You could see it. You could hear it in the pan and you could smell it. If you are anywhere near Union, New Jersey, check out All' Assassina. But do not just order and walk away. Look. Listen. And learn. Not everybody likes to cook. But everyone should like to learn. The more you know about what’s in your food and how it is prepared, the more you’ll appreciate good food. The tastes, the textures. Wow. There was an avalanche of different flavors hitting my mouth all at once. It’s worth a trip. Go for the meal. Stay for the show.”

“I went there with my wife this evening and it was a great experience. We had delivery a couple of times, but eating at the restaurant was so much better. We were greeted with a big smile by Demi and she took great care of us. We had the large Meze appetizer and the small Mixed Grill and it was perfect. We had plenty to take home for Super Bowl snacks. We had a nice chat with Demi and she gave us a complimentary dessert of their homemade ice cream. The flavors were baklava and walnut. They were delicious. I highly recommend eating there. Thank you so much Demi for a great experience.”
“I had such a great experience at CAVA in Union! The service was outstanding, and our waiter Jimmy was incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming. He made sure we had everything we needed and genuinely made the experience even better. The food was fresh and delicious, and the whole visit was great from start to finish. Definitely one of the better experiences I’ve had, and I’ll absolutely be coming back!”
“This place is absolutely delicious! Would recommend to anyone wanting high quality Italian food!! The service was fast and the atmosphere was great!”
“I come here every now and then because it’s close to home and they have a great menu! One time I came and they had jazz music playing and it went perfect with the fact that I was studying.”
“This restaurant serves excellent choices of food. Everything we ordered - from fish to steak to vegetarian dishes was cooked and prepared to perfection. The servings are generous that we were able to share with family members what we have. We all agreed to order a different dish since this is only the second time some of us have eaten here. \n\nThey also have live entergainment with the Trivia night - we went on a Thursday and our table won 2nd place and got a $40.00 coupon for our next dinner date!!\n\nWe will surely be back when visiting family here in Union, New Jersey!”

“My husband & I haven’t ordered Chinese food in a couple yrs bc it just kept getting worse, no matter how many places we were recommended. Even our OG tried & true (in our town) plummeted downhill, so we just gave up on it…. until tonight, when he said “I’m really craving Chinese!” I decided to google the best places in Union county & Trio came up first. After I peeped a ton of reviews, I IMMEDIATELY knew that’s what dinner was gonna be. Just picked it up maybe 45 mins ago & when I tell you, both my husband & I kept sayimg “this is amazing!”
Went with the black pepper chicken, bc how could I not! So many reviews mentioned it. The chicken is sweet, sticky, spicy in the best black pepper way, crispy yet lightly fried (almost like tempura) & that sauce mixed with the pork fried rice (with delicious chunks of fried onion & roast pork!)…. YUMMMMM!!!!! I’ve never had it before but it will be a staple going forward.
The pork fried dumplings were the best we’ve ever had. Filled with meat & fried to perfection. The shrimp rolls are packed with perfectly cooked veggies & beautiful, plump, pink chunks of shrimp. My husband said “that’s the best shrimp roll I’ve ever had. Usually they just taste like one note, everything in them blends together & it’s all just mush, but these are insane!” I got the large duck sauce bc no store bought ever comes close. The roast pork lomein hit HARD. The pork is succulent & moist, rather than dry as a bone and cut into teeny pieces like it is at every single Chinese restaurant we’ve ever ordered from. Absolutely delicious.
For my 83 yo FIL, we got his usual- a small order of bone in spareribs & I can hear him downstairs (as I type this review) telling his elderly dog “these are great, coco!” 😆
Last, but not least, I grabbed a homemade iced tea for my husband (thank you so much for throwin it “on the house”) & he sipped it down with a smile on his face.
I’m old school so I called our order in & she was the most kind, jovial, sweet as pie human. I’ve lived in NJ for 27 yrs now, and can truly say that this is, without a doubt, the best Chinese food we’ve ever had. Cannot wait to go back & try a bunch more dishes. But that black pepper chicken and these shrimp rolls will be a definite yes every single time.”
“Went for lunch and the place was very cute! Nicely decorated and lots of seating available. I got the thai iced tea which was rich and creamy and the pad kee mao that had lots of flavor in the sauce and is not too salty. The vegan puffs were flaky and soft. Will definitely come again!”
“I don't eat Chinese food often but when I do this is the spot. You can taste the freshness and quality. I love to get the wings because you can tell that they change their oil for chicken regularly. If you have a favorite spot then don't try Great Wall because Great Wall will become your favorite..”
“Generous amount of food. I ordered Turkey, which is one of the dishes I rate diners on. Compared to other diners, this is a bit above average. However, even with loads of gravy (they gave me a bowl full) and with a mild stuffing, I felt it was a little bland. Good for people on a low-salt diet? I needed to add a lot of pepper and some salt. I still would have liked a more savory taste. Nevertheless, the portion was big and the "side salad" was more like a mini salad entree. Take a look at the pictures. Wait staff was very nice. Lots of people there on a Sunday morning, so you may have to wait. Price is slightly high, but then everything is compared to a few years ago. BUT I'd rather pay more for this kind of quality. I will go back when I am in the area again.”
“I’ve been twice so far and the customer service is immaculate! The food is delicious and seasoned nicely. It’s great for a quick stop to pick up lunch and dinner. It’s even better for a romantic date night! The music and ambiance is perfect for whatever occasion.”

“Absolutely loved my daughter’s birthday cake! 🥹🎂💕 I showed them a design I had in mind, and they did such an amazing job bringing it to life. The cake was beautiful, exactly what I wanted, and all the little details were perfect! The colors, decorations, and overall design came out even better than I imagined.
And OMG, the cake tasted SO GOOD! 😭🤤 Everyone loved it! It was honestly just as delicious as it was beautiful. Everyone at the party kept telling me how cute and beautiful the cake was!
The communication was also great from beginning to end. He was very friendly, kind, and easy to work with, and his customer service was amazing. You can really tell he cares about making sure his customers are happy.
Thank you so much for making Gennaura’s 1st birthday cake so special! 🌙🎀✨ I highly recommend Edo’s Cakes!”
“Definitely one of the best bakeries!! We went to multiple bakeries for our wedding cake tasting. Nothing compares to the quality and taste at Conca D’Oro. Our wedding guests are still asking where our cake was from. Juan was super helpful and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend this bakery!!”

“I've been going to Constantino's for a few weeks now and I must say it's one of my favorite places. I was a little disappointed a few years ago but Bill def has some incredible food. So far I've been sampling the sandwiches my favorites are the pork cutlet and the amazing turkey meatball park with vodka sauce ( delicious!!). I just had the Italian and it was perfect! Highly recommend this place!”

Shout out th the big guy with the reddish beard, I think his name was Joe?? He was very courteous and got my order EXACTLY right!! I 1000% recommend this location to everyone!!!

“I had the pleasure of attending a fundraiser today for #camystrong. The food was amazing, the service was excellent and I learned that 100% of proceeds will benefit my little 6 year old friend. Well done Johnny Napkins, well done. Definitely worth the 1 hour drive to get there for this sweet girl. I will have to make another trip up to support the restaurant this time.”
“Smashburger is always a solid choice when you’re craving a good burger. The burgers are juicy, flavorful, and made fresh to order. There are a lot of different options to choose from.. so it’s easy to find something you’ll like or even try something new. The smash technique really gives the patties that nice crispy edge while still staying tender inside. The fries are just as good - especially the smash fries with seasoning.. and everything comes out hot and fresh. The staff were friendly and the service was quick, which made the overall experience even better. Definitely a go to spot if you want something quick but still really satisfying.”
“I’ve eaten here about 3x now; The drinks here are amazing and so is the service. Food comes out fast & hot and they always checked on us frequently. The workers here are fantastic and very friendly, they treat us like family here. Highly recommend the birria tacos. Give this place a try!”
“Have been looking for a pan de chicharron (Peru’s national breakfast sandwich) and a tamal and was completely take back to Lima. The pork was so tender and the bread was fresh and delicious. They also use mote aka hamony for their tamales which was so delicious and authentic. Service was amazing. Highly recommend!!!”

“First time here, was recommended by a friend that lives nearby. He says it’s the best pizza in Jersey so I had to try it out. This mom and pop pizzeria giving that 90s vibes (Feeling nostalgic.) I ordered the cheese personal pie good sauce , good quality cheese and Nice crust what more can you ask for. If in area check it out. I would say this it’s one good ones.
be warned, Cash only ( ATM on the premise). They take Zelle or Venmo”
“I went for dinner and decided to try the Wednesday special menu, and it was a total hit! Everything was fresh, perfectly cooked, and had that classic touch everyone loves. Very worth it for the price. We were taken care of by Tony, who provided us with truly special service from the very beginning”
“Walked in this weekend for the first time and the female bartender was super friendly and helpful! We just wanted to stop in for a quick app and a beer. We ordered the fries and 2 rounds of beers and the check was super reasonable. We will definitely be back when it is nicer out to sit outside. They have a variety of things on the menu, a pool table, shuffleboard table and electronic darts.”
“Glendale is a great place to grab a bite. Whether to eat in or take out, great food, great staff, and just a great restaurant. Everything is delicious, so you don't have to worry about what's good or not!!!! If you're in the area, Glendale always satisfies, so stop on in!!
A+((+”
“If you’re looking for clean, fresh food that won’t drain your wallet, this spot is a great choice. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the staff are always welcoming. It can get pretty busy since it’s popular, but the wait is definitely worth it. Only thing missing would be fresh juices, adding those would take it to the next level.”
“HANDS DOWN THE BEST BAGEL IN A 25 MILE RADIUS!
The perfect crunchy, chewy outside and the softest most tender crumb. I don't know how they do it but it's the only bagel shop I will go to. Plus the gentleman behind the counter is always nice and professional. MUST STOP BAGEL SPOT”
“So glad to have your business around. My family and I ordered pigs in a blanket, cinnamon sugar nuggets, and a pepperoni pizza. Everything was delicious! Also, I greatly appreciated the service from the gentleman that took our order. He greeted us as soon as we walked in, asked if we had any questions about the menu and checked in on us while we waited. The food was enough to prompt a return visit and the phenomenal service was the cherry on top! I’ll be recommending this business to others and visiting more frequently (in moderation, lol).”
“amazing tasteful food and not to mention how much food you get for a great price. wonderful customer service as well.”
“Wow!!! What can’t I not say about this place , the decor was incredible you can see that the place has history. I felt like going back home and changing my out for this place is amazing ! The service was Superb, we didn’t have to ask our waiter or waitress for anything we were constantly attended to . The food was great and the portions are are great. I went with my fiancé and daughter so I always order family style , so we had a little of everything . I know it’s cold out but I love a good frozen margarita and it was perfect . Also at the end Jolie , the owner/daughter of the owner also , offered us some free shots of RED CADILLAC TEQUILA , that’s made from them by them . It was very soothing . We’re actually gonna go back in a date night for the live music . Can’t wait !”
“I visited Sashey's for the first time on April 23 and I must say the food I ordered (curry goat with rice and peas and a brown stew fish) was excellent! In addition, the customer service was on point. I definitely will return again. Take my word, if you want good, authentic Jamaican food, Sashey's is the place.”
“I normally get the black rice and fried goat, food is fresh and seasoned well. Definitely a take out place that have high quality food. Very good portions as well”
“This is my favorite pho spot. Please do not overwhelm the spot!! Just kidding, but truly it’s busy enough as it is! Great quality food, warm and welcoming service, and the music plays at a nice, conversational level. Shoutout to Eric! He is the best. 10/10 recommend.”
“Everything was great I just did not like seeing to many peoplle walking in from the outside into the kitchen. I feel that we do not know what germs they are bringing from the outside.”

“Hat off to every Chef you "ROCK" Very clean thank you Eat here once or twice a week Only one BIG problem when waiting for certain item to place in plate Add W for Waiting & what your waiting on. Today guy came from drive thru open plate to see what's missing. Guy came down from register handling dirty money open the plate to see what's missing. While standing there over six people open the plate to see what's missing. Instead of adding W for waiting & what your waiting on. Once it's up then open the plate & add Thank you for fixing this problem”

“wow, amazing!! very unique flavors, friendly staff and a great atmosphere. i had the cassava latte and the leche flan latte. highly recommend! wish i lived in the area so i could come here again!”
“I don't give many reviews, but I wanted to share my experience. The woman in the front (cashier) had great customer service... She was very nice and pleasant. The food that they served was nice and hot. Usually places like this serve room temp food or sometimes even cold, but this place actually serves hot food which was great. The food was great, the tables were clean, and I honestly couldn't say anything bad either. I will be coming back to eat here for sure :)”
“I ate here yesterday, and even though it was a 40 minute drive, I'm HEAVILY debating going back today.😍 The employees were all so sweet and helpful. It was my first time in. Food came quick. Chipotle, Moe's and Qdoba wish they had the flavor that this place has!! I got the bowl with Chorizo and a bunch of toppings. The food was so fresh and flavorful. It may be a little difficult to get through with the turn around, but it's beyond worth it to me. To reiterate....all the employees were amazing! So patient, and so kind, and as someone who can be a little anxious when ordering i can't articulate enough how good that makes me feel. Didn't get a picture of ny food because I basically unhinged my jaw like a snake and inhaled it. 😅”
“I stopped at the Tropical Juice Bar in Union, NJ. I was unfamiliar with their menu and got the best customer service from Arianna! She patiently answered my zillion questions and made recommendations that were spot on! My order came quickly and was fresh and delicious!!! They also had great music to enjoy while eating! I highly recommend this restaurant!”
“I impulsively got a cookie dough pretzel pocket. I’m not usually a dessert person but I wanted to try something new….. omg this was the most delicious thing ever. A mix of salty sweet. I ate the whole thing as a meal. Better than any cake or cookie. Amazing and delicious.”
“My sister and I went to get Italian ices. They were soooo good, especially the coconut flavor. They have many desserts to choose from. I also purchased a biscotti cheese cake that was very good. We met the owner Zaki. He and his staff were very friendly and welcoming. He also mentioned that you can call ahead to place your order to be ready for pick up when you arrive. I thought that was pretty cool. We definitely plan to go back to try his puddings. If you want a sweet treat check them out, you won't be disappointed.”
“The food and service are excellent.”
