“So excited I finally got to taste the chefs version of Kare Kare! All the flavors of traditional Kare with the flair of pasta!!! No wonder it’s there popular dish! The Mango Sticky (pan dan) rice had the tastes of being Filipino. Highly recommend!!! Took my Pa for Father’s Day and we had a great meal!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“The service and the food were absolutely amazing. I ordered the ricotta toast and the melon salad. Both were exquisite full of flavor. Then we ordered two pasta dishes that were magnificent. We were fortunate enough to be seated in front of the chefs. The head Chef was so kind and making jokes all night which made us feel very comfortable and welcomed. Thank you! We will certainly be back.”
“All good things— the service is amazing, staff is kind. Their croissants are great, flaky and not too sweet. I loved the cardamom latte (they also recommed the french toast latte which I did not have but looked enticing)
Very friendly staff, cute spot, underrated.”
“I honestly can't remember the last time I visited a restaurant and gave it a perfect 10 across the board, but this place truly deserves it. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed. I needed the restroom right away, and the bartender, Orlando, kindly escorted me to it, making me feel so welcomed. Once we were seated, the food started arriving, and I was blown away. The chef here is absolutely amazing. Her dishes are not only delicious but also incredibly well-prepared. The unique flavor combinations and creativity are outstanding. It's honestly some of the best food and service I've had in a while. I left feeling like I spent my money very happily. I truly hope this hidden gem and the talented chef behind it get the recognition they deserve for their incredible work."”
“I grew up in NYC so I’m no stranger to halal carts. Since I’ve moved to JC (which I know is only across the river, but the food scene really is different), I have yet to find my go-to halal spot… until now! I paid $10 for a chicken over rice. The chicken was so juicy and they were very generous with the chicken and sauce. So delicious but also so dangerous that I’m so close by”

“SO SO GOOD. I went here a few weeks ago and am still thinking about it . A hidden gem. Very experimental Thai, and WOW, so tasty. Incredible service. Owner was clearly passionate, talented, humble, honest, and kind.”
“Food was really good. The Amish Chicken and Jerk Short ribs were delicious. Server was great. Kitchen seemed to get a bit backed up a peak time. That gave us an opportunity to taste their pull apart bread (whoa), which they brought out due to the wait.
We'll be going back.”

“I've been looking forward to trying this restaurants menu items. yesterday was only the 1st, for sure. I had a shrimp po boy, perfect, packed with shrimp, just the right sauces, really good. I took home a container of their vegan lentil soup which is better than my lentil soup. that's not a small thing. beautifully balanced flavor, really delicious. I can't wait to go back and try everything else.”
“We were going to a show at White Eagle Eagle Hall. It is literally two doors away and was fabulous. The cocktails were delicious, the food was amazing and the ambience was fun and inviting. We would definitely recommend Jane Doe and hope to come back again soon.”
“My partner and I had the good fortune of joining the Saturday night dine-in experience. The experience was absolutely lovely. Our host was welcoming and accommodating, the atmosphere was warm and intimate, and the food is just *chef’s kiss* perfect — very authentic home cooking approved by my born-and-raised Bangladeshi partner. We took home almost 3 days worthy of leftovers and they heat up nicely too. 10/10 will visit again!”
“Absolutely fantastic omakase experience! Every dish was thoughtfully crafted and full of flavor. Chef Jayson was incredibly friendly and attentive — you can truly feel his passion and creativity in each course. The service was top-notch, and the entire atmosphere made the night unforgettable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique and delicious dining experience!”
“Ondo was exceptional! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. While the layout and vibe of the restaurant are more casual than upscale, the quality of the food more than makes up for it.
Chef Brian Kim, the owner of Ondo, also created the Michelin-starred Oiji Mi in NYC—so it’s no surprise that this spot is just as impressive. Ondo offers a tasting menu that’s a more affordable yet equally delicious alternative to Oiji Mi. It’s a fantastic way to experience elevated Korean cuisine without the Michelin price tag.
Chef Brian also owns other restaurants, including Domo Domo, and Ondo is a wonderful addition to his portfolio. The restaurant is co-owned with his wife, who leads the pastry program, adding a sweet finishing touch to an already amazing meal. Definitely worth a visit!”
“Excellent food and great customer service. Overall an amazing experience”
“They are rescuing Newark Ave. Absolutely the finast dinner. Those in the CourtHouse neighborhood should make Yub's 78 a regular stop.”

“We had the BEST experience with Casa Cubana catering our large joint 80th/50th birthday party. The audience was made up of our large group of family and friends (roughly 50 Cubans :-) and they are a discerning audience when it comes to Cuban food). Everyone raved about the food- the lechón was super juicy, the mojo was perfect , everyone loved the empanadas and croquetas too. Diana and Mercedes were so helpful and communicated everything really clearly we are looking forward to working with Casa Cubana again ! Thanks again for making it such a special day!”
“First of all, the price of food to the amount of food you get is amazing. It is open 24/7 as well which is super convienent for late night cravings/munchies. I'm staying here in JC for about a month and it's the most affordable place in this area and the quality is the best Mediterranean or Halal I've ever had (I'm from FL). I recommend this place 100%!”
“Navin is the best employee EVER! Amazing customer service, very attentive and respectful. He remember my orders. I have my family come here and the say that same. He definitely should be Employee of the Year and get a nice raise. I’ve been coming here for 3 months and not one complaint. He is fast and effective!! Keeps everything nice, clean and organized. 100/10!! I recommend it!”
“Dunkin' has really impressed me with their delicious food offerings, from freshly baked donuts to flavorful breakfast sandwiches. The staff here is always friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for catching up with friends or enjoying a quick bite. Highly recommend for a satisfying meal any time of day!"”
“There was no vanilla with sprinkles (my favourite)but they worked hard to make those donuts and the atmosphere was very clean and good and my friends enjoyed the donuts but they wanted more.
Kid-friendliness: The kids loved the donuts and they wanted some more but mom said "Only one donut per kid.".”
“I've been looking forward to trying this restaurants menu items. yesterday was only the 1st, for sure. I had a shrimp po boy, perfect, packed with shrimp, just the right sauces, really good.

“This is my 5th time going here. I normally get the domokase. But my mom came with me this time and she’s not biggest sushi fan. So she got the Korean fried chicken and bacon garlic fried rice. Just like the domokase, if was amazing!”
“This is my favorite Chinese Restauraunt in Jersey city, seriously.
Top notch service and super delicious noodles. I always order the braised beef noodles, the pork and cabbage dumplings and the eggplant appetizer.
The staff is always very friendly and attentive. I come here frequently and it never disappoints.
If you want a super good noodle spot to try out… you must come here!”

“We drove right past it but THANK GOD we were able to turn around and get to it the food was heavenly juicy hot and suuuuper tasty the cook we spoke with was amazingly patient as he could see we wanted the entire menu but didn’t know how to order it lol the man was a saint and got us exactly what we wanted we were in such disbelief that such amazing tacos came from such a small spot but it’s clearly a top shelf establishment and will continuously recommend this place”
“I really enjoyed my visit to Rui Tea! I tried the Mango Bobo Coco and it was delicious—refreshing, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The staff was also super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to!”
“Absolutely love this place ! The people are friendly and great food, and Juices !! Can't get any fresher and the juices are full of wonderful things for your nutritional needs !! Will always keep going here !! Barry is great at listening to your nutritional concerns and questions and helps you find the Juice or Juices you should be drinking. The smoothies are the Best hands down!!”
“I frequently visit here and have always loved their food. I catered through them for an event recently and absolutely loved the service and quality of food. They did live pani puri station and it was such a hit! Everyone enjoyed it throughly and it was talk of my event.”

“Absolutely wonderful food! I've been several times and try something different every time I go. Like their sign says, they really do have the best chicken sandwiches in town. The flavors are unique and the seasoning is balanced so well. Can't wait to work through their whole menu!”
“I live in the area and attend college out of town so getting to the library on my off days is tough. I've been looking for a place with a chill ambiance, wifi, good tea, and coffee. Well, look no more for me. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. Great rustic look, comfy seating with back support, loads of outlets for laptops, and the second-floor space are super cute and cozy too. Oh and there's a small little outside area that's pretty cool as well. Shaquille (hope I spelled it right) was AMAZING! So down-to-earth, friendly, polite, and easy to talk to. She made me the Tumeric latte for me and I all but licked the cup clean. I had the hummus & cucumber on sourdough toast and it was divine. Also, a great option for vegans. I totally recommend this place if you have similar needs or just want to hang out with some friends. I will surely be going back.”
“We came back here twice, the food was so good! The first visit we ordered the duck and it was so tasty and good value. During the second visit we ordered an assortment of dishes including seafood noodles, kung Pao chicken and braised beef with potatoes. They are all great! Would come back again if we are ever in Jersey City”

“Wow! Amazing experience. Exotic coffee tastes. The owner “Diego” educated us the difference of tastes and quality of coffee including which one should be with milk and those that will killed the exquisite taste of a real coffee. A unique experience! Highly recommended. And also try the chai teas with their own foam; it will mesmerize your palate!”
“The ice cream cookie was absolutely delicious — the perfect balance of chewy and creamy! What really made the experience even better was Jill. She was so sweet, attentive, and amazing throughout my visit. She made sure everything was just right and her kindness really stood out. Definitely coming back!”

“I ordered takeout from Kulchay recently and had a positive experience. The woman working there was incredibly friendly and helpful while I waited. I tried their signature naanizza which is a fusion of naan and pizza. Both the chicken tikka and super supreme naanizzas were delicious. Even though I got stuck in traffic and had to reheat them at home, they still tasted great although I imagine they would be even better fresh out of the oven. I also tried the halwa naan for dessert which was decent but not something I would order again. All the food here is halal and I definitely plan to come back to try more items from their menu.”
“Always amazing no need to fly to Napoli! The team there is incredible thank you!”
“We discovered Mathew's just yesterday and enjoyed a great lunch with their extremely pleasant staff. We'll be back.”

“El Ranchero is my favorite taqueria in the bayshore. The tacos are the best in the area and the mole is delicious. The food is fresh and the service is fantastic. I recommend this to anyone! A wonderful place to practice my spanish! El Ranchero es mi taquería favorita. Los tacos son los mejores de la zona y el mole es delicioso. La comida es fresca y el servicio es fantástico. ¡Yo recomiendo esto a cualquiera!”
“I live in South Jersey went to Jersey City with my wife and daughter. Saw posting about Carmine’s had to give it a try. The food was outstanding 3 sandwiches and the eggplant rollotnie. The flavor , sauce chicken cutlets , Prosciutto was the best. It’s a 2 hour drive but worth it!!!”
“I really like this place but the deli counter is disorganized and lends itself to incivility. Cangiano’s needs a ticketing system so that that everyone, especially their servers, do not have to rely on the honor system. I had an incident this past weekend which could have been avoided by this tried and true method.”
“We were going to a show at White Eagle Eagle Hall. It is literally two doors away and was fabulous. The cocktails were delicious, the food was amazing and the ambience was fun and inviting. We would definitely recommend Jane Doe and hope to come back again soon.”
“First time visited Jersey City My goodness the food was so delicious, the server was amazing and friendly feels so much like home. Highly recommended for you guys to try.”
“My new favorite coffee shop! Excellent service and product! Highly recommend to all coffee lovers.”
“We ordered so many incredible signature dishes. The lamb moussaka was 5 stars! To really test them we ordered one of the best lahmanchoun’s we’ve tasted in NY! Cozy atmosphere, attentive waitstaff, Momo JC definitely exceeded our expectations!”
“I thought this was a decent, casual Vietnamese restaurant. The pho was good, warm and satisfying just like you would hope for. Not the best, I've ever had, but it will fulfill a craving if you have one. The only downside is not the food itsself but a lack of wifi for patrons. Also be prepared to pay in cash lest you will be charged a small fee for using your card. But otherwise, it was an enjoyable meal”
“I had the most phenomenal dining experience at Kings Pride, a Nigerian restaurant in Jersey City. The exceptional customer service by the owner, Veronica, truly made it stand out. Veronica went above and beyond to bring the essence of Nigerian cuisine to our table, even taking us behind the scenes to demonstrate the traditional preparation of the dishes. Her passion for sharing the culture and flavors of Nigeria was truly inspiring. The Jollof rice with stewed goat was an absolute standout, bursting with rich, aromatic flavors that left a lasting impression. The Ogbono soup was a true staple of Nigerian cuisine and paired perfectly with a side of fufu. The classic homemade Zobo drink was a refreshing and delightful complement to the meal. Veronica's warm hospitality and her dedication to showcasing the authenticity and rich cultural heritage of Nigerian cuisine made our experience truly memorable. Kings Pride is more than just a restaurant; it's a place that brings people together through the love for great food and the celebration of Nigerian traditions. I highly recommend Kings Pride as a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic and enriching culinary experience. Veronica's commitment to preserving and sharing the intricacies of Nigerian cuisine deserves the utmost support to keep this remarkable restaurant thriving.”
“Have enjoyed two fantastic meals at Ita. A perfect atmosphere for any intimate or casual gathering. The food is so fresh and the people are warm and welcoming. I will be back!!”
“Amazing Margaritas! Great staff and food. A MUST in Jersey07302!”
“From the moment our party of 6 arrived on a Wednesday night, to the moment we left, we felt welcomed and valued at this beautiful restaurant. A member of our party was celebrating a birthday which was acknowledged immediately. The food and drinks were all delicious...the quail egg ravioli with white truffle and pulled oxtail being one of the most delectable bites I've ever had. We will absolutely return!”
“The curries are my fav! Dumplings are yum, and if you are a meat eater try Korean bbq short rib, it’s beyond! 😋”
“this place is a must go to. the food is amazing as well as the service and drinks. Definitely on my top 10”

“My first trip to Jersey lead me to Tinos and I am so lucky to have found them! Their cute outdoor dining area was shaded. Menu has tons of options - I had the Margherita pizza, Pinot and a cannoli! All are delicious and I can't wait to return. The pizza is the best I've ever had - crispy but still foldable thin crust, flavorful sauce, and top quality mozzarella and EVOO. My waiter was kind and attentive, who informed me that Tino still comes in and does things like weeding the plants. He also said that they are terrific employers. Not many places today hit all the check marks, but Tino's hits it out of the ballpark.”
“Really fresh fish! Only had some yellowtail (I think) that seemed to be thawed so didn’t taste great. Otherwise, the Lover’s Boat was really good. All you can eat is another option I’ll try next time. Soup and salad are good as well. BOYB is a great plus, liquor store on the same block. Officially favorite local sushi spot!”
“They have amazingly tasty food 😉 food 🥘 and specially love their buffet”
“Solid sports bar with good wings. We ordered three traditional wing flavors: buffalo, O'Hara's special sweet and spicy, and parmesan garlic. The O'Hara special flavor was by far the favorite of the group. I would not order the artichoke dip again as it was quite watery and tasted about the same as a frozen option from the grocery store. Although they have a great beer menu I was disappointed that my two preferred beers were unavailable to order (Blue Moon and cold snap). All things considered, I'd come back for the wings and the sports bar atmosphere.”
“We dined here on a busy Friday night. They had no problem seeing us right away, or party of three. Short rib curry was tasty. And the wife really enjoyed her meat pie with mashed potatoes. Great quiCk service and tasty food.”
“Absolutely fantastic omakase experience! Every dish was thoughtfully crafted and full of flavor. Chef Jayson was incredibly friendly and attentive — you can truly feel his passion and creativity in each course. The service was top-notch, and the entire atmosphere made the night unforgettable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique and delicious dining experience!”
“Delicious gluten-free IPA! You guys have raised the bar for the gluten free beer peeps!! 🍺🍺”
“But one thing I want to say is that is one bartender that he's from Palestine I'm fine soo I was drinking a light beer I wasn't drunk inside I had light beers”
“My girlfriends purse got robbed. Dangerous place. Don't go there. Band was awesome though”
“Wonderful place with tasty food and best service. Will try again.”
“We visited our friends in Newport last weekend and decided to try Blue Anchor for brunch after seeing its great reviews on social media. The decor is bright and clean, with a beautiful view of the river.
Overall, the food was delicious with reasonable prices and generous portions. Our favorite was the flavorful, juicy burger with perfectly balanced ingredients. The fried cod in the fish tacos was also crispy and satisfying.”
“The food drinks and views are excellent… can’t wait to go back and bring friends!!”
“WISP Rol delicious & so well put together! The guys on the truck are so friendly and accommodating & treat everyone with kindness even with long wait times. Order ahead & pick up when it says it’s ready and you will not be disappointed! 10/10 recommend”
“Their seafood and 32oz drinks are great!!! I recommend stopping by.”
“JC Buddy’s of Jersey City Brunch Spot Worth Waking Up For!
We came for brunch and wow, Buddy’s absolutely delivered.
Biscuits & Gravy: The biscuits were fluffy clouds of joy… buttery, golden, and perfectly baked. The sausage gravy was rich, flavorful, and smothered lovingly over top. It didn’t drown the biscuits (which I appreciate!) but I wouldn’t have minded just a splash more gravy to soak up with those last bites. The side of potatoes? Unreal. Crispy, tender, almost like Greek lemon potatoes met a breakfast hash… and they fell in love.
Chicken & Waffles: O.M.G. The chicken was seasoned and spiced to perfection, crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and not a hint of greasiness. The waffles were light, fluffy, and dusted with powdered sugar like a brunch snowstorm. Loved the option of classic maple and spiced maple syrup for a little kick. The only (tiny) drawback? I’m not a huge fan of bone-in chicken first thing in the morning, but that’s personal preference, not a deal-breaker.
Coffee & Service: Endless hot refills, attentive staff, and genuinely kind vibes. The coffee was solid good drip brew, no bitterness, and they never let the cup go empty.
And yes, one biscuit went mysteriously missing before I could grab a photo… my sister couldn’t resist diving in early. 😂
If you’re brunch hopping around Jersey City, add JC Buddy’s to your list. Cozy, flavorful, and just the right amount of indulgent.”
“On vacation as a joke, we searched for "the worst bar near me" which led us to this amazing little place. We had the absolute best food! The waitstaff was attentive, fun, and helpful. Prices & portions were fair. The whole vibe of the area was low-key & pleasant with the dog-friendly patio, next door local shops, and other patrons. If these Wisconsintes find ourselves in Jersey City again, we will absolutely make a dedicated return to the Wurstbar!”
“great food and vibe. BUT they are cheap with condiments. charges 2 bucks for extra syrup for the chicken and waffles”
“Amazing prime rib with incredible au jus! The risotto was a hit, and the calamari was tender and delicious. The spaghetti with shrimp was the only miss, and the chicken Parmesan could’ve been crisper. Still, with great service, solid drinks, and a lively vibe, it’s definitely worth a visit — reservations recommended!”
“This is one of the best places to have south Indian food and the restaurant is very authentic. The ambiance is very decent but the food is so good. Especially their mann soru was out of the world”
“I highly recommend their famous pork spicy appetizer. It was our 4th times in this place. I would say their meat is high quality because you can tell from the flavor itself. This is our couples favorite Sichuan place. Tonight, we tried SeaBass Mala it was delicious but too spicy but we’ve finish it 😄😛😋”
“The service was amazing plus the Mexican People where amazing they always asking if w writhing was okay ..”
“Just ate there for dinner. Was packed but they were so accommodating for us four, and I was dying for my favorites. I have been going there since 1984 and sorry to say, 90% of the time I get the same thing! And still always delish. The service is great, servers are great, I have bought many people there and no one has ever complained, always loved the food! And I will continue to be a customer for as long as they will be there!”
“It's the first time I was there, because it was the restaurant with the best rating, in the area, I really recommend it, in 23 years in this country, I ate the best green noodles with steak, 😋 💯
And a parihuela, seafood soup, its delicious chicha morada, its portions are well served, I loved it”
“Performing at Maritime Parc was an absolute highlight for us! The venue offers a sleek, modern aesthetic with stunning panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline and harbor—an unforgettable backdrop for any celebration. The layout is perfect for live music, with plenty of space for dancing and an energetic crowd. The team at Maritime Parc was fantastic to work with, making sure everything ran smoothly so we could keep the party going strong all night long.”
“Food is pretty good large portions, cozy with a lot of activity going on, reminded me of cheers how friendly it felt. Monday jazz was so good came back for karaoke Tuesday. Red Sangria was my favorite. I will keep coming back. I had a lot of fun. I’m checking their events now. Owner Tommy told me “ I’m family now””
“superb place to meet and eat. Ambience in restaurant is amazing and the bar area very friendly . The food is amazing.”
““Delicious food and great service, compliments to the chef!” 👨🍳 🙌🏽👊🔥”

Gina was amazing to work with during the planning process and was always responsive and accommodating. I hope to host another event there in the future!”

I love their Mi Hoanh Thanh, Pho Tom, Pad Kee Mao with Beef,Bun Tom Nuong Cha Gio, Goi Cuon and of course their Delicious Mango smoothie to die for!!!!!! lol.”
“I love this company because it's convenience of being close in NJ, the company sells to individuals customers most only sell to business. I bought Saba mackerel and tobikko it was better and fresh or as good as in any high end Sushi restaurant. I can't wait to order again and the minimum to order is $40 and close enough to pickup in Jersey City. ty Jorge Alonso.”
“What a cool speakeasy this was!!!!! Hidden away in Jersey City on a little side street ,it's this cool little attic bar that was top notch!!! Roger or waiter was on point but have to make one suggestion that they get cocktail onion's in so they can make a Gibson. A cool place to start or enter evening.”
“First time & definitely not our last time. We went to see Efrat & Brian. Amazing music, as well as the company. The food was good too!”
“I just got a smoothie here. Wow! So green, so nutrient dense and the shop owner packed my sea moss gel with ice so it would stay cold until I get home. ❤️❤️ I will definitely be back more often to try out the whole smoothie menu.”
“I tried their Bibimbap and Sushi. Sushi was quite good! The sauce for the bibimbap was good. I wish they added a bit more protein and the chicken felt kinda dry.”
“Food was so delicious today we ordered catering and we really loved the food of Amiya Thanks to all the chef and staff members!! Keep it up guys!!”
“One of my favorite places to eat at in JC, really authentic tasting Chinese food with large serving sizes and lots of variety! I visit frequently and the service is always fantastic, and the environment is clean and well air conditioned. You can even ask them to customize the dishes like decreasing the amount of chili or oil used.”
“The food is very good - some curries you won't find elsewhere and at the bar they have Indian spirits that are hard to find around here. A lot of unique flavors that are not spicy. The lunch special is fantastic though shrinkflation has crept in. Service can be slow.”
“I've never tasted anything more disgusting in my life. My salad had so much dirt on it, I had to send it back. They offered to wash it and bring it back. 🤣 No! How about follow basic kitchen prep guidelines with like water and such. Place should be shut down for healthcode violations.”
“Authentic Italian deli with wonderful and kind owners who have operated for 40 years in this location. When you walk in, you will literally feel like you are in Italy. 🇮🇹
So cool. Excellent quality in cheese and meats and all the essential Italian ingredients.”
“One of the best South Indian and North Indian Cusines in New Jersey. I have been dining there since they opened. Great hospitality. excellent staff. I hosted business dinner and treated friends. Love to dine there any time of the year.”
“The food here was really good and made fresh to order. They’re very generous with requests; bread, sauces, and water are all complimentary, which is such a nice touch. They even offer complimentary tea, not just for customers but also for food delivery drivers, which really shows their hospitality. Armalindo was especially sweet and helpful, making the experience even better. Prices were very reasonable, and I’d definitely recommend this spot!”
“Food is excellent, staff is very attentive and friendly - atmosphere is very romantic. I highly recommend.”
Latest Reviews
“We reserved the private room on the lower level for a family reunion for 27 people. The restaurant was centrally located for our families in Westchester, Long Island, and Philadelphia. The kitchen and staff were amazingly friendly and the food outstanding. The price-fixed Saturday brunch menu was tailored to our Gluten-free, Vegan and vegetarian’s needs. The service staff were warm and friendly and delivered our food quickly and accurately. The bar (shout-out to Jr.) served excellent cocktails at a reasonable price. Alexa S., the manager, was very helpful answering all our questions organizing the day and was very attentive during our gathering. We all enjoyed the day and highly recommend Amelia's Bistro and will definitely return for other family events.”

“I stopped coming to this restaurant years ago because of an odd smell, but when a friend wanted to go, I decided to give it another shot—and I’m so glad I did! The place has completely transformed. The service was excellent, and our server, Yousry, was incredibly attentive. The drinks were spot on, and the food was fresh and delicious. I was truly impressed and will definitely be back.
As someone who grew up in Jersey City, I’ve seen this place change a lot, and it’s for the better. A special shoutout to the manager, Berta, who was so friendly and made sure I got my drinks quickly when there was a bit of a wait at the bar. Great experience all around!”
“All good things— the service is amazing, staff is kind. Their croissants are great, flaky and not too sweet. I loved the cardamom latte (they also recommed the french toast latte which I did not have but looked enticing)
Very friendly staff, cute spot, underrated.”

“Meryendang Pinoy JC is truly one of the most exceptional Filipino street foods, a testament to the owners' kindness and generosity. Their tireless efforts to build this dream have paid off, and it's incredible to see their vision take shape in their own business establishment. I still marvel at how far they've come since 2020, when I first messaged them to order food from their humble home setup. Fast forward to 2024, and they've officially opened their business doors. Now, you can drop by anytime or conveniently order online - it's still an outstanding experience. They're growing steadily, bringing the flavors of the Philippines closer to our hearts, and making us feel like we're back in the Philippines 🇵🇭 🇵🇭🇵🇭 1000/10💛💙 Wishing You All The Best and More Blessings To Come Meryendang Pinoy JC💛💙🙏”
“I don't leave reviews often, but I didn't get to tell them in person so I'll tell everyone and hopefully they see this review. I come here every so often when I'm around about twice a year and they are consistently really nice people, and the coffee is just delicious. I'm always too late for pastries, I'll get them next time. Great job guys! Thank you for your hard work (and sweet messages)! 💕”
“We visited our friends in Newport last weekend and decided to try Blue Anchor for brunch after seeing its great reviews on social media. The decor is bright and clean, with a beautiful view of the river.
Overall, the food was delicious with reasonable prices and generous portions. Our favorite was the flavorful, juicy burger with perfectly balanced ingredients. The fried cod in the fish tacos was also crispy and satisfying.”
“I'm not one to write reviews or eat sweets for that matter, but i will have to say, the milkshakes here are bar none.
We stopped by for dessert after catching dinner in the area and left with milkshakes, a box of their gourmet chocolates and smiles. My daughter raved about her s'more shake the entire ride home. I have to mention that the staff are incredibly warm and inviting.
Definitely worth the spike in my A1C!
We'll be back soon!”
“I'm vegetarian but my partner isn't, so when a very nice employee saw that the majority of my mobile order was vegetarian friendly except for one thing she kindly called us over to make sure that we knew which ones were safe for me and which ones weren't. Five stars for the above and beyond service, wish we got her name, it was around 8pm on August 23rd”

“The service and the food were absolutely amazing. I ordered the ricotta toast and the melon salad. Both were exquisite full of flavor. Then we ordered two pasta dishes that were magnificent. We were fortunate enough to be seated in front of the chefs. The head Chef was so kind and making jokes all night which made us feel very comfortable and welcomed. Thank you! We will certainly be back.”
