“Great fried chicken. Not greasy, with a nice crunchy batter that was not too thick. Oil used was fresh and chicken seemed also fresh and was good quality. I didn’t give 5 stars only because I would have liked more seasonings but this restaurant will still be my go to when I’m looking for fried chicken. Service was also fast.“

“First of all, let me make sure you guys understand that I’m a 29 year Brooklyn native. Not knowing anything about southern cuisine I strolled into Krewe as I explored Jersey City. Before even getting through the doors I’m greeted by calming music leading me into an eye catching environment filled with tasteful art along with festive decorations.Smiles all around taking me to my seat as my stomach began to growl with anticipation. I’m a heavy eater of chicken so I went with the Chicken Po Boy….didn’t regret a thing. The south cut up chicken thigh overflowing out of my sandwich was a sight to see and the juiciness left my tastebuds back flipping. Water for my beverage as I’m a simple man. On a reccomendation I tried the Grit Fries - never knowing what grits truly were. To my surprise the delicious crispy crunchy outer layer was nothing compared to the soft warm cloud in the middle. I was sold, sandwich so flavorful along with a side of deep fried heaven - what more can I ask for from my new lunch spot.Service was amazing as people were warm and friendly. Cooks did an amazing job and the food was complimented by a very clean and vibrant environment. You’ll definitely catch me there again!“

“Being from the south Everything about this place is amazing. I was so hurt when I ate everything on my plate. The greens, I can't stop thinking about them. And the apple cobbler, I almost cried when I ate the last bite. I was curious about the crosstown drink and tried it. It did NOT disappoint. I found my new soul food place and can't wait to return.“

“Vietnamese food is one of my favorite cuisines so I've had a lot of Viet food in my life. I've also been to Vietnam three times. So believe me when I say Saigon Bistro has really good Viet food! The grilled pork was delicious and juicy. Spring rolls were crispy and perfectly cooked. Summer rolls were also good. We also got the sweet corn pudding which we liked too. Oh service is great as well. We'll be back many times.“

“Let me say their food is spectacular. The best soulfood i ever tasted, BUT !! The ambiance and accommodations aren't so great, Take out is suggested. Their bathroom isn't up to part in only one bathroom for men or women . The food service was ok as well ,but if you're dining in, they give you plastic spoons , ketchup packages, and Tartar sauce packages .A lot of food was limited on Sunday like salmon bites,no ribs, etc ,They give free refills on the house , Then there's a bakery next door which connects to this facility PLEASE YOU MUST TRYParking: There is not a lot of parking, depending on what time you show up you will have to Double park“

“Had the catfish poboy at uptown night Market! They told me 15 minutes was done in 15 minutes. It was a large fried catfish filet and it was perfectly crispy. I think the tartar sauce may have needed a little more salt but overall great experience. Reminded me of Louisiana“
