    Garlic shrimps
    Nicole C.

    Celebrated a friend's birthday here on a Friday night and we had a blast! The food was delicious, the drinks were flowing and the live band was amazing! Everyone in our party enjoyed themselves. There is a parking lot in the back but it was full at the time, but there is plenty of street parking right in front and across the street. Our waiter was so patient with us and extremely attentive. We were a big party and I know we were driving him crazy. All in all we had a great time. Go check it out and dance the night away, we sure did!

    I came here for lunch with my family on a Sunday afternoon. I'm surprised there's a Cuban restaurant in Fort Lee which usually just has Asian restaurants. Also, they have their own parking lot which was rare in Fort Lee. We ordered the tamale appetizer, the Cuban sandwich, the pernil, and the stuffed flounder. The waiter was super nice and actually said the stuffed flounder was his favorite dish. The food was fresh and delicious, the stuffed flounder was definitely the standout dish. It's a dish I don't see much on menus in other restaurants. I also really liked the fresh homemade plantain chips that came with the Cuban sandwich. They have lunch specials on weekdays so I would definitely come back!

    I've been to Kuba a bunch of times now.. at least four times, enjoying brunch, dinner, and their late-night menu with drinks and music. The atmosphere is inviting, with beautiful interior décor and a clean, well-maintained space. The service is excellent, the bartender is friendly and he makes bomb drinks. The food is delicious. They have live music... they had a dj once but not sure if that still happens. I also appreciate the convenience of their parking lot. I think they need to have the Crab Rangoon as a regular appetizer on the menu.... It was a Valentine's day special but so amazing! I did order it a week or two after Valentine's Day, and they still were able to make it. However, I'm not sure if it's something they'll have all year around.

    Came here on a Saturday night with reservations for 2. The place has a parking lot and a lot of street parking. They had a band playing which was very good. I ordered a virgin passion fruit mojito, the creamy chicken, the arroz con pollo, with a side of rice and beans. Everything was good. We also ordered the churros and tres leches which was good as well. Good service and good food.

    The chicharron were crunchy and very tasty

    I was craving chicharron so I ordered some from here. I also got some other things to pick from and everything was very good. The chicharron was crunchy and delicious. The empanadas were very tasty, croquettas made of ham were delicious, the Bao buns very good. Everything we ordered was very and I recommend this place.

    Churrasco

    Just a disclaimer! You'll enjoy this restaurant if you want Cuban food. It's advertised as Cuban-Asian fusion, but 90% of the menu is Cuban dishes. There's only a few Asian inspired dishes randomly scattered on the menu like fried rice, poke bowls, and bao buns. No kimchi, no bulgogi, no noodles, no curry, no spring rolls, no sushi. Very little fusion between the two cultures at all. With that out of the way... I've been here a couple of times to either grab a drink at the bar or dine-in. Always a positive experience. Good food, good drinks, good service, good music, and dancing... I can't complain. My go-to dish is the churrasco, a 14 oz grilled skirt steak with chimichurri. It comes with a side of either rice or maduros (sweet plantains). It's very filling and the steak is juicy and tender. The bartenders do an excellent job with the cocktails. Never had a drink I didn't like! They have live music or a DJ on the weekends. Yes, there's dancing... Yes, it gets loud... hide ya kids ;) just kidding :-)

    The restaurant was pretty busy with a couple of large parties including our own but they managed the service very well! Quite surprised to be honest haha The overall feel of the place gives an intimate setting which would be ideal for a date night for sure. The food: I love it! The sampler I was BOMB, it was nice to truly get a bit of some of the popular items on the appetizers. My favorite were the Bao buns, HIGHLY recommend those. The fried rice, was pretty good. If I'm being honest it wasn't anything spectacular, BUT it was good. If I ever go back, I'd try other things under their main entrees. Overall I'd totally recommend this place 10/10! Ps the mojito = GET IT !

    Spinach and cheese empanadas
    Maritza M.

    The inside is super cute and has a speakeasy ambiance and vibe, which I absolutely love. It still has that bar and restaurant atmosphere with the large tv behind the bar. Service is good, they don't forget about you. However, the drinks are pretty but weak, especially when they're like $14 each, it can certainly use a little more spirit. The appetizers were my favorite, especially with the sampler option, you get a little bit of everything. My favorites were the empanadas and ham croquettes, we didn't even get to the bao buns, but I'm sure they will be good tomorrow when I hear them up. The paella was decent, but the best part is by far the meats, the seafood was good minus the mussels because for me it was slightly chewy. I enjoyed the shrimp, squid, and baby scallops. Overall, it was a great spot to try out, and I'd definitely try some of their desserts the next time around.

    Came here on a whim to try it out. Was not disappointed at all! Service was great and food came out super quick! Not to mention it was delicious!! Some food has to be ordered 30 mins ahead but it is worth the wait since it takes some time while eating the appetizers! The ambiance is good as well! Recommended!

    I've been to this place before it became Kuba. This place used to be a Korean restaurant and bar. Kuba was smart enough to close up their drive way and only have one way in and one way out this way only people that actually want to dine here and park here. I remember this place being darker with less lighting, but the ambiance and lighting that they put in definitely brightened up the place. My wife and I came here on a date night and we got to sit at the bar finally without kids. The bartender was good and provided excellent service. Felt like he knew everyone there. I'm assuming it's because they were all locals or regulars that come in for the same drink and dish. The food was alright. It wasn't amazing. I didn't think it had lots of flavor. I did give this place 4 stars because of the live music that was there and the bartender making good drinks. Besides that, the place wasn't anything special. Just good times with good people.

We ordered the fried calamari, salmon tartare, soft shell crab hand roll, mentaiko pesto pasta, and Hinoki steamed beef, pork, and vegetables with Sukiyaki Nabe. Everything was delicious, but the soft shell crab hand roll and mentaiko pesto pasta were standouts. The Hinoki steam with Sukiyaki Nabe was also a great choice -- tender beef and pork, fresh vegetables, and a flavorful sukiyaki broth. The wait staff was friendly, attentive, and very helpful, especially when explaining the dishes and making recommendations. The service really added to the experience. Highly recommend Moru for anyone looking for a modern Japanese dining experience in Fort Lee. Great food, creative dishes, excellent service, and a menu with something for everyone. We'll definitely be back!

I ordered the Unagi Don Gozen ($42)- it came with a whole tray of different delicious items, with the star of the show being a generous amount of unagi (eel) over rice. The eel was cooked very well and the rice was flavorful with a bit of sweetness. There was also a small bowl of udon noodles, some sashimi, a crispy tempura shrimp in a yummy creamy sauce, flavorful edamame, mashed potato with corn, and some pickled veggies - quite the diverse array, all of which was tasty. The restaurant itself has a rather simple yet elegant Japanese wooden design. The prices suggest it's a more high end place, but the vibe is actually rather casual. The staff are very attentive and the service speed is pretty quick. Overall, I would definitely give Moru 4.5 stars if I could. I think it's great for most types of occasions, and the only reasons it's not getting 5 stars is because I do think the prices are a tad higher than I would've hoped and I think they could've done a bit more in terms of designing the place to match the price point. That being said, I still highly recommend Moru, especially for a nice lunch.

Now for the entres: We got the sczechuan chicken , chicken chili dry and the hakka noodles. We thought it would be strips or cubes of chicken battered but this was not the case. The entrees both use a meatball type of thing as the protein, and was not good at all. The portion of the dishes was so small. The chili dry had more of black pepper taste than anything. There was also a plastic taste in it ( im assuming they store the sauce in a plastic container ?) The sczechuan chicken had a tangy and strange flavor. The hakka noodles had absolutely no flavor but the only thing with a decent portion. Awful food, so mad we spent $75 here ( which is so not appropriate for the location and food). So disappointed.

    Came in for the first time. I read the reviews before…read moreeating and I will say - the review where they say portion sizes are small (specifically the rice )..,,I read the owners response and j truly think that they DID revise the portion sizes (I don't know what the original portions were) but the portion I recieved was generous enough. Although somewhat bland (?)...I put the question mark lightly. I just wasn't totally wow-ed. Camarones ajillo was pretty nice. The first thing I mentioned was that I didn't eat pork and red meat. I asked the cashier for recommendations. When I ordered the side of red beans, I wish she would've told me that there was bacon pieces. That's important because me not eating red meat and pork could've been an annoying allergy reason or religion. Either way, I wish I was advised because it doesn't mention it in the menu. Empanadas were good. I ordered the shrimp and also a chicken one. I love that they have a 10 min buzzer (you hit the buzzer hoping to stop at exactly 10 mins and get a free order).
