Some Jersey City Restaurant Reviews
Feb. 5th, 2015 09:56 amIt occurred to me that I had some commentary on restaurants in our area that I don’t think I’d posted before, but none of which requires a full post of its own.
Chicken BonChon - Get the chicken. No, really—the fries, onions rings and fried shrimp and all lackluster and forgettable. But the chicken is really good.
TeaNJ has very nice vegan cakes; we have yet to try their other food or tea, but the brunch menu is intriguing.
Union Republic has a fun take on ramen; but the burger on the ramen bun is more of a curiosity than a noteworthy food—it’s too messy to be a useful bun. Worth trying once, but the actual ramen is the reason to go back.
Roman Nose - If you eat meat, get a meatball. Heck, get several. The food is good overall, but the meatballs are the reason to go there.
Barcade Jersey City - My biggest complaint with the Brooklyn Barcade was the lack of multiplayer beat-em-ups. This one appears to have Spider-Man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles AND The Simpsons, plus Gauntlet. Did you know it costs about $12 to beat Spider-Man with four players?
Jethrien tried Porta; the space is very hipster, doing the “unfinished” thing and offering bench seating; but the pizza doesn’t stack up to Raza and we already have Roman Nose for high-quality Italian. Also, it’s very loud on Saturday nights.
