    Service was ok, clean restaurant, most of everything I tried was good. The Mac n cheese was sour tasting. Tea was good. Not sure if I'll be back. Not really my style

    Hibachi

    This restaurant has a lot of patrons which means high turnover on their food. Everything is fresh and doesn't get stagnant. Service is quick and plates get cleaned off quickly. The lines at the hibachi can get pretty long but worth the wait. It's located in a shopping plaza so plenty of parking. Food quality is ok but freshness is better than other locations

    Beef and broccoli & donuts. The beef was so tender and the donuts were so airy and delicious. I could eat those endlessly

    This buffet was amazing. I was not expecting the quality of the food to be so good for the price. We went on a Saturday, around 2:30PM. We were sat within 5 minutes. Each adult was $20. Toddler was $7. Free for one year old. My favorite food was the beef and broccoli, coconut shrimp & donuts. The had nuggets and fries for kids which is always great. Will definitely be returning.

    The price is decent for a buffet. We came on Saturday dinner price was $17.99 per person. The price varies from weekday to weekends, lunch vs dinner. Service was mediocre. There's tons of people lining up after paying to get a table to eat on a Saturday evening. There's lots of selection of food. Ice cream is free however if you take it to go it will be 75 cents. The ambiance is nice. Food: 4/5 Service: 2/5 Ambiance: 4/4

    We used to like it a lot. Today's visit was let down. They still have consistently good food and selection, but the place was dirty, smelled terrible, and even drinks tasted like some paint mixed in. Vegetables did not taste fresh as their refrigerator does not keep fresh or something. I would not return to the restaurant in this unsanitary way. They need to shut down and clean the place up. If the FDA visits them, they will shut them down for sure. However, the service was good. I would only recommend this place once they clean up the place.

    Food was ok Service was pretty good for a Sunday afternoon Even tho it was crowded it didn't feel uncomfortable Good to try once a year honestly

    Nice selection

    Was starving after shopping around Jersey and decided to give this place a try. For its price, it's really not bad. For covid measures everyone was wearing a mask and is required to have a mask on once you leave your table. Seatings between tables were spaced apart with a minimum of 6 feet distance. Temperature was taken prior to being seated. Lastly, they provide gloves for you to use the utensils to serve yourself. There's a salad bar, hot food section, sushi, and hibachi. The hibachi was my favorite because there's a great selection of chicken, steak, beef, shrimp, vegetables, noodles, and rice. My favorite part was their unlimited ice cream. Although the selection is wide spread but I was disappointed with some of their foods turnover. Also, some of the food like chicken wings, shrimp, pork ribs were lacking flavor and freshness. Perhaps the food turnover haven't been so great since there wasn't much people on a Saturday night. Overall, this place has really good selections and I would give it another shot.

    I really wanted to give this place a try, but I left pretty disappointed. Not only was it…read moreexpensive, but the food just didn't deliver. I started with a drink that was just okay, nothing special, but not terrible either. For an appetizer, we ordered the octopus, and unfortunately it was not good. The sauce didn't taste great, and the octopus itself didn't taste great either , which already set the tone for what I was about to have next. For my entrée, I had the Dijon salmon (not pictured), and it was honestly so bad. It had a very strong, fishy taste, and I couldn't get through it, I left most of it on the plate. I'm not one to complain, and since I was there with my kids, I just paid the bill and left. The space itself is pretty, but the food is no bueno. Also I found the menu was limited, it wasn't clear what their specialty is, and nothing really stood out or made me want to try something else. Overall, not a place I'd return to nor recommend.

    A medium sized venue with low mood lighting. Gives upscale energy & vibes. Staff were very friendly…read more& efficient. They also were fun, not afraid to joke around with you as part of your experience. Parking here is a true pain though. Metered street parking mainly (Free after a certain time), but there is also a parking garage. It does have a very nice bar area, but I did not take a picture of it. For food we had the Dumplings appetizer, El Presidente, & Mama's Chicken. Drinks we had The Purple Drink (Yes, that's its name) & Simple Man. All of the food was absolutely delicious. Even the complimentary bread was great. It comes with a "cinnamon apple" butter? Not sure, but it was excellent. Overall, worth a return trip. Grades: Dumplings: A+ El Presidente: A+ Mama's Chicken: A The Purple Drink: A Simple Man: A+

    1st time in Rahway and we stayed at the Watt Hotel it was late and we wanted a burger... this place…read morewas in literally a few doors down so we decided to stop by. For starters we had the shrimp tacos!!! $17 for 2 but worth every penny! And they were by far The best I've ever had!! Very fresh toppings and perfectly seasoned. And I loved the green sauce they topped it with. For dinner my husband and I split the $19 classic burger and substituted the fries for a Caesar salad. We also subbed the cheddar cheese for the smoked Gouda and omg chefs kiss!! Ordered it medium and It was cooked perfectly! For drinks we had a coke soda $3.50 and an uptown girl (lychee martini) $14 Both were good. The servers were really nice. The vibe was laid back. The volume of the music was perfect. The bathrooms were really clean. If ever in the area again I'd definitely come back!

Fun bar with high tops as well as a lounge area with big arm chairs and coffee tables. The food is good to very good, though some things we liked better than others. We had the material girl, and it was a perfectly balanced drink. We ordered the veggie zucini burger, It was good but not spicy. We had burgers with fries and also ordered side of yucca fries which were really good as well. Loved the food and low-key vibe. The service was excellent. We will definitely be back but will stick more to the "shareable" portion of the menu. Just to wrap up this review, I've been here 3-4 times and haven't had a drink or food item I'm disappointed in. Rare to have everything so well made and it's popular for a reason. FYI, Street parking only but there's a Rahway parking deck near by as well.

Left side looks like a bar and right side building looks like the restaurant. Not sure since it's a pandemic.... we were escorted thru the alley throughway to the backyard patio and bar. Cute little intimate set up. The my don't take reservations so it's first come first serve . We were seated right away but it was also 8 pm. They also said it's two hr timeframe at the table. Staff was super friendly. Menu online Parking street. Metered before 7pm. Drinks and food were pretty good. I got the walking on sunshine cocktail which is a gin cocktail and then the uptown girl which is a vodka lychee martini spinoff. I decided on two small places today. I got the honey sriracha wings and the spicy shrimp. They were good/ok. Loved the presentation. Friend for the lobster tacos. We shared the coconut bread pudding and that was delicious. If I come back- I may try one of the burgers or main entrees.
