    The food is good, but a bit pricey for what it is. I ordered steak with rice ($16), and my girlfriend got a fish soup with rice and vegetables ($15). The waitress did not speak English at all, making communication a bit difficult. The fish soup exceeded our expectations. It was very tasty.

    I don't usually write reviews unless its something really really really delicious or something really really really bad. This case it was too delicious and the service was awesome. I am from Peru and its rare to find good quality food nowadays. The lady in the kitchen reminded me a lot of my mom. I strongly recommend this restaurant. Thank you! Usualmente no escribo a no que el lugar sea demasiado bueno o demasiado malo. En este caso mi experiencia en "Me Sabe A Peru" fue demasiado buena. La comida estuvo super deliciosa y el servicio estuvo excelente. Soy de Peru y hoy en dia es raro encontrar buena comida peruana de calidad. La señora que cocina me hizo recordar a mi madre mucho. Muy buena comida criolla y casera. Lo recomiendo altamente!. Gracias!

    Ceviche mixto and Lomo saltado

    This tiny hidden gem has been my go to for almost five years now. I can't believe there is only one review other than mine on here, esp since their always packed. Where do I even start? My favorite dish LOMO SALTADO! I have had Peruvian food in many locations in Paterson the heart of Peruvian food in Nj and they do not compare. The Ceviche mixto is another must if you enjoy fish. Also I recommend Jalea it's a combination of different seafood breaded deep-fried, my mouth is now watery. I'll post some photos I've posted on fb before this review. Another reason to try them weekdays they have lunch specials can of soda, a soup and a meal for $6 kinda hard to believe right?

    This is it when it comes to Peruvian food in Hudson county. The place is small, but the dishes are big and delicious.

    My cousin (god we love her) lives in the building next door so for the past 2 years Haven has been…read moreher haunt. Now I have a thing when people say "it's just next door" or "it's right down the street." What did George Dubya say? Fool me once and it's shame on you, fool me twice and the shame is mine for getting us into a war based on lies and greed?" Yeah something like that. Anyways, I typically don't believe when people say something is close so whenever I visit her we just order in delivery rather than motivate (ie put on a bra) and go out. But dang it this is literally. Right. Next. Door. As in I can sit on the deck outside of the restaurant and look in her living room. Smh. I say all that to say IVE BEEN MISSING OUT!! Her bday was this weekend so she booked a large table for family and friends. I was relieved to see they had valet. Parking is atrocious in this development so to only pay $10 to be 10 feet from the door was awesome. The restaurant itself is beautiful and the staff know her well and treated her as a valued guest. Here's the rundown: We went for BRUNCH. They have a prix fixe for $41 of most of the brunch items and it includes 2 Bellini, 2 mimosas, or 2 Bloody Marys. Good right? Welp what you don't know is that their cocktail menu is incredible so to heck with the prix fixe. We got mimosas at home!! Between the 10 of us we got cocktails, appetizers, entrees, desserts, coffee. Highlights: -Service was spectacular. Wesley was On It! By the time we finished eating there was another party of 10+ seated right behind us that he was servicing. I hope he enjoys the reward$ of his hard work! Make it rain on em Wesley! -Fat friendly seating. No arms, solid chairs, comfortable cushions. We were there for 4 hours and my booty was never sore. -Food. We tore it up and it was all delicious. My half of the table had the farm house breakfast sando, the fried chicken sando, French omelette, huevo rancheros. We shared the crab hush puppies, wings, calamari, goat cheese salad, and blueberry pancakes. I was nosey and saw that some of my other table mates ordered the skirt steak and eggs and the short rib. -Drinks. I know my husband loves mango so I suggested he get the smoked mango drink. I didn't know it came with theatrics. Dinner and a show?! Btw by the time our table was done almost everyone had ordered one. Lychee martini, Paloma, old fashioned, midnight espresso. Also all very good! -The View. Our party was too large to sit outside but we did sit right at the floor to ceiling windows. In between birthday wishes and food comas we watched the boats, jet skis, and undulating waves of the Hudson. Previous posters are correct - the place is pricey. But high key the people who live in that area are already paying a premium for everything else sooooo. Now, I DONT live in that area lmao so this will be a rarer treat for me. But I was happy to celebrate my cousin's birthday in a place that she loves. Awesome experience - I look forward to returning! 10/10 would put on a bra for this and walk downstairs lol

TBH, I don't really remember the rest of the meal. i think dessert was something sugary, dunno... Service was... oh, who cares when your body is coursing with medium-rare iron and slightly charred protein hunks that the noble bovine has so generously given mankind. And I guess I was there for my anniversary or something. I remember whatever riverfront view the restaurant touts was completely obscured by shitty rain. Oh, but the STEAK... I guess my wife liked her meal. Pasta? Chicken? Chicken pasta? Whatevs, it wasn't steak, so no matter. We're still married.

The guac was good but could use a bit more salt, i wish they had chiccarons as chips instead of tortillas but the chips were great so wasn't a big issue. overall though expensive for some pretty average guac in my opinion. the seabass crudo was great, i loved the sauce and the mango went great with it. Super fresh, super tasty. Unfortunately the tacos were a mess, when it arrived the tortillas were so soggy that they were just coming apart, the meat was also falling off and overall the presentation was horrendous. the tacos weren't balanced as well, there were some with too much meat and then some with basically only cheese. overall flavor was not birria im typically use to but it was solid. honestly these tacos are probably the worst tacos i've ever had, for $20 it's a travesty. overall for a place nearby i'd come to get some drinks and the crudo and esquite because those were fantastic. but i'll pass on their tacos hard.

The bright blue exterior and the nicely decorated interior was a pleasant sight to see in Union City! They weren't busy at all and we got right to ordering. The Tostada VIP Ceviche was super tasty. It was bright, citrusy, tangy, creamy, and slightly spicy. The scallops, sea bass, and shrimp were all insanely fresh. I loved every bite. The avocado was a must as it added a different texture and freshness to the bite. The portion seemed small for ~$30 but I enjoyed the dish. The Birria Sinaloense Tacos were delicious! Savory & rich in the best way but honestly, they could've added more meat or even a 4th taco. The tacos were satisfying, the consomé was so comforting and the salsa brava was delicious. Good try!

Our server Ricardo was amazing, never made us feel rushed, and was very attentive. The food was so well cooked from the appetizers to the dessert. The braised short ribs just fell apart and was so succulent. The highlight was the pistachio creme brulee that had a very tasty berry compote.

We started off with the cheeseboard. The selection was bland with a side of bread. No other textures. I've had it in the past where it was organized by mild to the more stronger bites. Last night was all mild. No crackers or honey. I got the wagu and a side of fingerling potatoes. No mention that it came with fries. It came out with a side of fries. The waitress could have told me otherwise I would have switched my sides. Thanks for the heaping mound of potatoes. Also the wagu was lacking flavor and the presentation was meh. We still love this place and maybe it was just an off night. I just expect more for a $250 Wednesday night dinner.

From the…read moremoment we walked in, the place felt warm and welcoming--and I really appreciated how clean and well-kept everything was. We ordered a bunch of dishes to share, including the dakgalbi (spicy grilled chicken) with cheese on top, bossam (steamed pork belly), grilled mackerel, and fried calamari. Honestly, every single dish was delicious. The dakgalbi was spicy in the best way with that cheesy finish, the bossam was tender and satisfying, and the grilled mackerel and calamari were both cooked perfectly. It was the kind of meal where everyone at the table keeps saying, "wow, this is so good." We left full, happy, and already talking about what we want to order next time. If you're looking for a spot with great food, a comfortable atmosphere, and a clean dining room, I'd absolutely recommend Haejang 2.

I had never had steamed skate anywhere before so my acquaintance told me that I wouldn't like it because it's "pungent" but I'm so glad I got to try it because I LOVED IT. So savory, flavorful, and packed with umami. Another good thing is their extensive menu. I can't wait to come back to try the rest of their dishes. The interior decor is very nice as well. The high ceilings and black color theme give it an elevated feel. And the staff is very nice and accommodating CONS: their air conditioning was broken when we went in the middle of summer (which I'm sure they'll eventually fix). I didn't mind because I love the heat but my acquaintance was sweating uncomfortably. Also, the food was good and some dishes were great but I wouldn't say it's the "best I ever had." The grilled beltfish was very plain (and bland) until I squeezed lemon juice all over it. It's the type of place that has endless comfort food and is your regular go-to spot (or go to order in) when you feel too lazy or tired to cook (or hungover) rather than a special occasion spot This place is decent and reliable. And everyone needs one of those in their back pocket to lean on.
