Random Jersey City Food Notes

The Kungfu Jianbing food truck is actually very tasty—it’s apparently a popular Chinese street food, and while I’d never heard of it before, I like it. Basically it’s meat, veggies and hoisin sauce in a buckwheat crepe. Also, they gave me a free milk tea with my jianbing, and they make very nice—if, as is typical, problematically strong—milk tea.

I’ve been consistently less impressed by Incrediballs, which is best described as “bro food.” Lots of Sriracha and jalapenos, less actual flavor.

We went back to Miso Ramen and made an interesting discovery: While I was underwhelmed by their miso ramen at our past visit, their shoyu ramen is very nice. Perhaps they misnamed the restaurant.

Of note, in the past few months Porto and Tommy Two-Scoops have closed, and I’m not sure of the state of Union Republic.
