We had an amazing dining experience at Czen Restaurant and will definitely be back!…read more We started with the Oxtail Sushi appetizer, which was absolutely delicious and a perfect way to begin the meal. For the main courses, I ordered the oxtail with rice, which was a very generous portion and full of flavor. My partner had the salmon with Mandarin glaze and mashed potatoes, and it was outstanding--perfectly cooked and incredibly tasty. For dessert, we enjoyed the fried ice cream with purple sweet potato, which was unique and delicious. Two glasses of shandy wine complemented the meal beautifully. The atmosphere was fantastic, with great music and a lively, festive vibe. The hostess was wonderful--she took the time to chat with us, asked if it was our first visit, and checked whether we were familiar with the cuisine, which made us feel very welcome. Our server was exceptionally kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. He carefully explained the menu and even double-checked details for us to make sure everything was exactly right. Highly recommended for both the food and the outstanding service. We thoroughly enjoyed every part of our experience and look forward to returning soon!

All the pork buns and soups were great Service was stressed however. Place was crowded yet the cook came out from the kitchen to make sure he understood the particulars of the allergies that we were dealing with. We appreciated his concern. Even after all this, we made it to our concert in time. In conclusion, great concert and great restaurant experience. We'll be back with more time next time.

Jamaican Delight (Located in Foster Village)…read more463 S. Washington Ave. Bergenfield, NJ 07621 Spicy Beef Patty Mini Jerk Chicken Combo Located in the Foster Village strip mall is a locally owned Jamaican take out restaurant. Spicy Beef Patty: The crust was hot and flaky on the outside. There was a decent amount of beef filling on the inside. The spice wasn't overpowering, so save that glass of water. It was a great appetizer and was really. Mini Jerk Chicken Combo: For its name, the serving size was fair. This included jerk chicken, rice & peas, and cabbage. I requested the jerk sauce on the side, but the provided cup was too small; next time, I will ask for a second cup. I received my ordered in a timely manner and the meal was pretty decent. #jamaicanbeefpatty #spicybeefpattt #jerkchicken #jamaicadelight #fostervillage #bergenfieldnj #jerkchickencombo

The oxtails tasted burnt--like they had been slow-cooking all day and what we got were the overcooked, charred pieces that should've been tossed, not served. Really disappointing for a dish that should be rich and flavorful. The staff didn't help the experience either. I get the saying, "you know it's a real Caribbean spot when the staff is a little spicy," but this wasn't that--it wasn't playful or sassy, it just came off as rude and mean. It made the whole visit feel unwelcoming. Honestly, I wanted to love this place, but between the burnt food and the bad service, it just didn't hit.

The place that I know of was closed but this place was open and ready to go. Had consistent customers coming in and out of the place so that made me feel good. Once I heard them talking I felt like I entered Paradise lol. My son ordered the oxtail and I got the jerk chicken. Absolutely delicious. Reminded me of my children's grandma and I realized how much I missed this cuisine. Definitely a spot to go to. Will visit again. Oh, and it's good deal for the buck!

A Taste of Island Spice 1287 Teaneck Rd…read more Teaneck, NJ 07666 Jerk Chicken Lunch Special Spinach Patty This locally owned Caribbean restaurant is located along the Teaneck Road strip. After passing it numerous times, I decided to explore one of their lunch options. Spinach Patty: Initially, I was reluctant to try a vegetarian patty. As soon as I took my first bite, I immediately took a liking to this appetizer. The spinach filling was warm and tasty. And the outer crust had a slight crunch. Jerk Chicken Lunch: The chicken was tender and juicy with a mild kick. The outer skin was seasoned perfectly. Also included were two miniature cups of jerk sauce (not pictured). The reddish colored dip was great for dipping the chicken, rice & peas and even the spinach patty. I was grateful the sauce was not poured over the meal; then it would have dried up. The indoor dining area is limited to high top counters and a few outdoor dining tables. Island Spice does not have their own parking lot, but plenty of parking is available on local side streets. There is also a free municipal parking lot a few blocks away. This location may be a hole in the wall, but the Caribbean food is outstanding and you will definitely get an authentic "taste" of Jamaica. #caribbeanfood #atasteofislandspice #jerkchicken #spinachpatty #jamaicanpatty #teanecknj

Sofrito is a versatile, aromatic purée of tomatoes, peppers, cilantro, onions, and garlic, which is the foundation of just about every Puerto Rican, Cuban, and Dominican soup, stew, or sauce. Located on busy Teaneck Road in Teaneck, this husband/wife duo, with the husband being Cuban and the wife Puerto Rican, operates the hidden gem that translates from the Spanish meaning "my roots." The reservation was easily made by Google Assistant for Saturday dinner. Upon arrival at Mis Raices, a bigger location after 3 years for some of us, my partner, our friends, and I got a table by the window immediately inside a cozy island vibe filled with the wonderful smell of the home-style food, the beautiful souvenirs of Puerto Rico and Cuba, and the vibrant salsa music. The menu has been expanded since our last visit, so come hungry! For appetizers, we decided on the Croqueta De Jamón, Croqueta De Pollo, and Guava Empanada. As a main meal, we opted for Arroz Con Pollo (Chicken with Rice), Pechuga De Pollo (Chicken Breast) A La Plancha with Salad, Ropa Vieja (Shredded Beef) with Arroz Amarillo y Frijoles Negroes, and Oxtail/Rabo Encendido with Arroz con Gandules. Complimentary toasted garlic bread started our meal. The meal was beautifully presented. The flavors were tastefully delicious and pretty consistent, being rich and authentic. The portion was just right with the price very reasonable, and it's a BYOB. The owners, Ana and Eddie, and their staff make us feel welcome and are accommodating. We can continue to recommend this place.
