Entering Nana's, I already had a game-plan: definitively getting the Beef Scallion Pancake, the Wontons in Chili Oil, and the MVP --- the Braised Beef Noodle Soup (It's literally called NOODLE HOUSE). First off, the restaurant in SPACIOUS! It is clean, and all menus are already on the tables for convenience. 1. Beef Scallion Pancake - This was DELICIOUS! The scallion pancakes are filled with tender pieces of beef, cucumber, and a nice sweet sauce. All those different textures work together beautifully. 2. Wontons in Chili Oil - If you have something spicy, I probably will order it! This was amazing. The wontons had the perfect texture, and they were swimming in Nana's Chili Oil. I slurped all the wontons in about 5 minutes. They were that comforting! 3. Braised Beef Noodle Soup - Today's temp went from 92 yesterday, to 59 today. Today was a perfect soup day --- and this was the perfect soup. The soup was rich and intense with that beef flavor, the noodles soaked up all that good flavor, the Bok choy did their THANG, and the beef was so tender in the soup. Absolutely slayed. 12/10. (*Nana heard I liked spicy, she even brought me out chopped chiles! Yay! That elevated the spice *for me* to the perfect level!) Nana -- thank you for the delicious food, you are definitely throwing it down in the kitchen! The only thing that I didn't like.....parking! Then again, it's Kearny/Harrison area. Will be back again!

Nana's popped up on my IG feed, and the posts are very entertaining, so I had to check it out. I ordered the DanDan noodles and dumplings in a chili sauce. Nana recommended the dumplings and they did not disappoint! Just the right amount of spice. Before I could finish the dumplings the DanDan Noodles came out. Great flavor and the right amount of spice. Down side is parking. I'm not local so parking could take a little time and a walk. Definitely worth the effort! Nana's is my new favorite noodle shop. Keep up the IG posts, love them!

The garlic veg (baby bok choy) was good but my Mom said it needed soy sauce. Thing is you gotta eat it before you eat anything spicy or you can't taste the delicate flavor. Shredded potatoes was different from the hot and sour version I usually get, its spicier. And the Garlic sauce with pork is spicy and has that kinda smoky sweetness is the best way I can describe it. The best Chinese I've had in awhile. I wish it was closer to where I live we swung over after getting out of Newark airport on our way home. Lady was nice but doesn't speak much English so the fact that we ordered online instead of the phone was probably for the best.

I ordered a poke bowl with spicy mayo and pork gyoza, and let me tell you, this meal completely turned my night around. The poke bowl was truly a work of art. The placement of the protein, the vibrant colors, and the freshness were so beautiful and intentional that I literally felt joy just looking at it. And the flavors? Absolute perfection. Every bite was packed with freshness and love, you can taste the care Mike and his team put into their dishes, and honestly, it should be studied. So yes, I'm here giving them their well-deserved flowers. Ramen Gami is a true gem, and there isn't a single thing I've tried here that I haven't absolutely loved!!!

I happily devoured it and immediately craved more. Unfortunately it's a limited item, so be sure to check their ig stories or dm them to find out the next available date. ＊Prosciutto Youtiao Sandwich $15 * Crispy youtiao with prosciutto, burrata and pineapple jam. This unexpected combo actually works so well! ＊Taro French Toast with Boba $16.5 ** If this is your first time here, ORDER THE FRENCH TOAST. I literally get it every time--the milk tea French toast is perfectly brûléed and topped with taro paste, boba, whipped cream, and salted egg yolk bits. All my favorites in one bite. ＊Taiwanese Braised Pork Belly $16 * Fatty and full of gelatin, giving that sticky-lips feeling after eating it. I love that their lu rou fan comes with a soft-boiled ramen egg instead of a hard boiled one, and the pickled mustard greens on the side are my favorite part. ＊Taiwanese Milk Crumb Toast $5 New item! We tried this test version of 奶酥吐司, and it was lowkey addictive. The bread pulled apart just like shokupan. So soft and fluffy.

On the plus side, the hospitality is top-notch; we loved the complimentary Taiwanese kimchi and dessert, and the portion sizes are generous Pork Belly over Rice (4.25/5): The standout! It was packed with flavor, though on the oily side Soft Shell Crab (3.5/5): The crab was well-prepared, but the avocado pairing muted the flavor, making it a bit bland Taiwanese Fried Chicken over Rice (3/5): This was surprisingly sweet for a savory entree, which others may like that Century Old Egg Tofu (2/5): A miss for me, it was served cold and the sauce pairing didn't really work Great service and a lovely vibe overall

The Vietnamese pancake was crispy and tasty, but it did get a bit oily as you eat more. Luckily it comes with a generous plate of fresh herbs, which really helps cut the richness. The signature pho tasted very classic and comforting, and the beef was fresh and well prepared. Also tried the dry noodles with fried spring rolls and grilled meat, which were very flavorful and filling. Portions are large, prices are reasonable, and the food feels authentic. Worth a visit if you're in the area.

The cuisine takes the perfect blend of spicy, acidic, sweet, and aromatic to form bold and dynamic flavors. Located right between Belleville Park and the Passaic River on a busy Washington Avenue, Topaz Thai is a beloved family-owned/family-run BYOB establishment known for its Thai cuisine. Upon entering as a first-timer, I was greeted by the owner's wife, Bankie, and led to a table by the window inside a cozy, warm, and welcoming dining area with minimal traditional Thai decor. I decided on the Pad Thai () with fried tofu accompanied by Thai iced tea (). The food was incredibly flavorful and fresh, using the best ingredients, resulting in the perfect balance of spices. Every dish is thoughtfully executed and prepared to provide an authentic taste. The tofu was perfectly cooked. Portion size was just right. The staff was warm, welcoming, and very attentive, which made the whole dining experience even better. Since I had the entire place to myself, I had the honor to speak with the cook/owner, Narit. Over the years, it has become a go-to spot for both locals and visitors seeking a genuine taste of Thailand.

Maki Leche de Tigre: wish I could tell you about it, but it never came. I eventually asked them to cancel it. The issue isn't the food. There was one server for the entire packed restaurant. This poor girl was seating guests, taking orders, missing tables, bringing food out, and ringing everyone up. She was very sweet and clearly doing her best, but it's far too much for one person. We were there for two hours, during which we saw many frustrated customers. Several Uber and DoorDash drivers waited long periods to pick up orders, which seemed to come out just as slowly as those for dine-in guests. Like every other customer I observed, once we finished our food we walked to the back to ask for our check so we could leave, since we had already been there so long. This place has only been open about five weeks (Clifton location), so my hope is that they improve as they go specifically by adding more staff. There's great potential here. I should also mention that most Peruvian restaurants automatically include gratuity on the check.

Came back now being the fall and I'm not sure if they changed their cook-- but they did not cook my T-bone correctly. I asked for medium rare, and this is extremely rare. So, I brought it to the servers attention whereas one told me I couldn't get it cooked a bit more because it was already cut. Then another came to me saying they're able to now cook it more for me, but didnt hesitate to also explain that this is indeed medium rare, and I just didn't know my meats temperature. You be the judge-- all I asked was for it to be cooked more and rather then comply as is, got gaslit into believing I, the customer was wrong. In the end, I noticed tables beside me ALSO claimed to want their meat cooked, where they faced to same fate in being gaslit once more that the customer was just wrong. Wish the cook, and service was better, with less explaining, and more quick action to meet the customer needs. How can a steak house ever have a cook who can't cook meat correctly ? Would never come back.
