Go-to Shanghainese spot. IYKYK. My comfort Edison food. XLB are crazy good, easily top 3 that come to mind. Might be the best spot in NJ so far. Spicy minced pork noodle soup is also pretty good and below 10 dollars. Value cannot be beat. OH YEAH ALSO THE MARINATED CUCUMBERS ARE CRAZY GOOD YOU NEED TO TRY 🥒 If Lao Wu has 1000 fans I am one of them. If they have one fan it is me. If they have no fans then I have left this world.

Ambiance was jaw-dropping. Aesthetics were on point. Really cool experience TBH Food made me feel like I was in a higher tax bracket. Pretty scrumptious 🎩🧐Truffle japchae and okra were fire. Short rib was good but overpriced. Would go again.

Best ramen of my LIFE. Only place I returned to on my 10 day Japan trip. Ran by one Japanese man. Order by vending machine. Makes each bowl, hand-crafted to perfection right in front of you. Portion size was great. Pork was tender and juicy. Broth was incredible. Price was really good. Definite hidden gem. Got the green onion tonkotsu. Need to go back. Wish nothing but the best for that ramen chef.

Sat in the karaoke seated section. Really cozy atmosphere. Cocktails were pretty tasty. Light work no reaction. Waiter was really funny and nice to talk to. Owner also came out and reenacted/sang from when he was on a Steve Harvey’s show way back when. Lowkey highlight of the night. Food got the job done. Free karaoke was cool. Would’ve sang my heart out if I downed one or two more drinks maybe. Would definitely go back. Vibes were immaculate 🍹

I absolutely hate matcha with a burning passion but ooika is the one place where I will willingly drink it. Kind of expensive but the atmosphere is crazy cool. Matcha making machines and small bar where they make the drinks.

Matcha/drink place but I’m Lowkey a matcha hater so do not take my word on this one. Drinks are aight at best but cost like 10+ dollars which is absolute insanity. Lowkey would rather go to KFT 👻 They got cool collabs tho with like Peanuts/BTS/Miffy

My Go-to AYCE KBBQ. unlimited sides are included and good - japchae, popcorn chicken, steamed egg, etc. Beef brisket is fire. Pork belly is fire. Lowkey expensive for dinner (44.95+tax and tip) but going for lunch price on a weekday is worth it. (Lunch is 29.95+tax and tip) Parking can be a nightmare at night. No reservations. Service is great though and they cook the meat for you.

Best pho of my LIFE. First time I ever had pho when I was younger and has been my favorite food ever since. East coast pho doesn’t hit the same. I fear nothing will ever come close to Pho Kim Long. Meat was tender and broth was flavorful. Noodles were on point. TAKE ME BACK

Solid 6-7. Atmosphere was decent, order online. Service also decent. Food was a little pricey for the quality TBH. Broth and noodle texture were good but not mind blowing. I think my friend did not finish her zha jiang mian because there was no sauce and no flavor…
