Solid place for a lunch fix! We've been here 3 times and have gotten the Peruvian, Korean and Southern. Fun flavor combos and I personally like the Peruvian. The Korean is a bit too sweet to me, and Southern is a bit dry. I think their chicken is crispy, but they can fry their chicken a bit too long so can be dry. It's better in saucier sandwiches read more

They probably shouldn't have but they obliged my quirky requests bc I wanted pesto n yet their special of the day a chicken (btw all chicken items r HALAL yay!) Cesar sounded appetizing too. So, Jose agreed to make a baby between them and I had this lol. I also wanted tomatoes.. Jose suggested roasted tomatoes for the win... the hospitality/service is wonderful, it's a cozy space with a few chairs inside and out so either quick bite there or to go will do. Now let's talk about these togarachi fries.. IN LOVE with the flavor and fresh scallions. Did not finish my meal so more for me later or I find an unhoused person to spread some joy with. Can't wait to come back and try the Peruvian chicken and so much more! I mean look at this beauty! They even have tofu options! read more

Delicious fried chicken sandwiches, and pleasantly surprised by the cheesesteaks too! I split the Korean fried chicken sandwich and a buffalo cheesesteak with a friend. The chicken was juicy and crispy and the slaw had a great balance of flavor. The cheesesteak was perfectly saucy, and they were kind enough to provide blue cheese and ranch sauces on the side. I also tried some of the togarashi fries which had a tasty spicy mayo. Would definitely come back to try some of their other combos! read more

Solid spot for a great chicken sandwich. The chicken was perfectly crispy, the sauces were flavorful, and the price was very reasonable. The staff was friendly and even cut the sandwich in half for us when we mentioned we were sharing. It's a small, unassuming place, but they know how to deliver on quality and service. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. read more

ive had my eye on this spot for a minute. glad i finally came in and will be back. I grabbed the korean. the chicken is crunchy, but juicy. theres layers of flavor. VERY MESSY. i didnt think this was spicy, but felt some heat. the slaw is nice on top. the bun is buttery, but toasted. the sandwich itself is steep, priced at $15, but i think it's worth it. its made well and flavor profile is unique. small spot with 2 small tables, so id say not good for groups. they have maybe 8 other sandwiches and various fries. add them to your order for $3. good service, friendly staff & clean place. read more

Okay! The prices are fair! So I like that. The place is small but it's in Jersey City so it's cute and I love that they were playing 90'a rap/hip hop! Service is quick, we only waited like 10 minutes for 2 Mexican cheesesteaks. The cheesesteaks had the look of a Mexican style cheesesteak. The meat had all of the flavor but that was the problem! The aji verde sauce wasn't noticeable and the pickled onions complimented the meat, but the placement was wrong or not enough. They added that sweetness I was looking for to go with the meat just a little bit. The needed lime and spice. The entire time I was eating a sandwich. It was good, but each bite felt like it was missing something. The sandwich is a 6.5 for me and I feel lime and spice would kick it up a few notches. The free fries that were given to us had a sweet meat which was good but the fries either need to be crinkle cut or cooked a little less. They were too hard for loaded fries. read more

No forks given is a hole in the wall burger find in the heart of Jersey city ! First time here, the owner was very friendly and quick to attend to us. We sat outdoors, and were served the food very promptly. Everything on the menu seemed and sounded delicious. The actual dishes surprisingly live up the expectations and rating. I really enjoyed my panko breaded spicy tofu burger, we also ordered the chicken burger and spicy fries. The slaw with the burger was so fresh and delicious and added to the flavor bomb. Overall really good first experience, and came out with happy full bellies. Will definitely come back here. read more

It's always nice to see a great food truck make the move to brick and mortar. No Forks Given is a pretty recent addition to Brunswick Street, expanding on their menu of fried chicken sandwiches and cheesesteaks from a tiny storefront. I did a Peruvian sandwich with tofu in place of the chicken: aji amarillo + aji verde + pickled onions + cilantro + scallions + spicy mayo on brioche, and a side of togarashi fries (thin fries covered with spicy mayo + togarashi spice + scallions + sesame seeds). The sandwich was a mess, in a good way: crispy without being overly greasy, with a nice bite from the sauce. The fries were under seasoned, but the togarashi made up for it read more

Not sure how they are considered the best fried chicken sandwich. I got the Peruvian fried chicken sandwich . It came with two pieces of chicken that lacks a flavor. Looking at other photos, I certainly got two burnt pieces of chicken. If I had the sandwich without the chicken I would've said it was tasty. read more

My most recent try was their chicken Cesar sandwich & let me tell you, it was soooo delicious! 10/10 - no notes. I'm not sure if this is a permanent item on the menu but if it's not, it definitely should be. The sweet potato fries are also very good! Highly recommend! read more

When I first bit into the Korean cheesesteak I thought "this might have too much flavor" which, admittedly, is an insane reaction if you're someone who likes food. But My palette quickly calibrated and I had a great lunch. Half of the sandwich was plenty for my weekday lunch, and the leftovers kept well. The ranch chicken sandwich was also amazing, even better than the cheesesteak. I'll probably opt for another chicken sandwich when I go back, but you can't go wrong either way. I called in a pickup order and it was ready when they said it would be. The place was packed when I got there so recommend ordering ahead. Prices were super reasonable for the quantity and quality of food. Highly recommend if you're looking for an indulgent lunch! read more

Stopped in before watching a show at the nearby venue so i had no expectations tbh, but i would say if i did have any they would have definitely surpassed them. The workers were kind and courteous, the food was delivered quickly and the prices were reasonable for the amount of food you got as well as the quality of it. Our fried chicken was juicy, not super greasy and packed so much flavor you could probably it eat alone. And thats not to say the other toppings were bad, the pickle and coleslaw were delicious in of themselves. The cheesesteak was savory, super cheesy, and they didnt skimp on any steak. the quality of the bread was great too, an overlooked detail but can make or break a sandwhich imo. Although i did dine in i wouldn't recommend it although they cater to it as best as they can but its a super small spot, i wont knock them for it but just a heads up. And who ever controlled the music: 10/10 overall: Great food, Great staff and cooks, Great music, super small spot. read more

Overrall, a very good twist on chicken sandwhiches! It sounds like they are known for their very savory chicken sandwhiches packed with flavor. Never really had peruvian style chicken sandwiches before, but it was a pleasant surprise! My only criticism I will say that it was a very heavy and oily sandwich however, and you will feel a little bloated after. Would recommend taking it to go as there isnt much space to really sit down and eat. Service was excellent and staff were friendly! Will definitely come again read more

It's a small joint with limited seating indoors, but it was great talking with the guy who was quarterbacking the front and back of house. I ordered the Korean chicken sandwich and it was incredible. Portion was generous, crispiness was beyond satisfying, and the chicken was juicy. The buns could barely contain everything in between, so prepare for a messy hands.

I came hungry and left not fully satisfied. There's a lot of hype on this place with rave reviews and amazing pictures but I have to say sometimes the picture just doesn't do it justice. Perhaps less is more. I went with the Korean fried chicken sandwich. Originally wanted to try their Peruvian but everyone kept picking KFC over it so I went with the majority. Now, I've had a lot of Korean fried chicken in my day and my expectations may be higher than most. So honestly speaking, the crunch was there, the chicken was juicy, but it truly wasn't as flavorful as it could be. The glaze of the chicken was so mild you barely taste it compared to spots that purely do Korean fried chicken. I'm expecting the same flavor explosion in my mouth but left disappointed. I'd give it an 8/10. It's good, but I just had better. The carnitas grilled cheese I also ordered opted to try something not traditional. Again this one was a miss. The cheese overpowered any taste of meat. I will say the crunch seared on the bread was sensational. It just couldn't make up for the lack of flavor. Overall, I probably wouldn't make the trek to JC purely to order here again. I will say it's good but not amazing. A solid 4 stars. I'm glad I tried it. read more

The food is always fire here but I'm actually here to speak on the amazing heart/service from one of the workers. I finished an appt. nearby and was craving the chicken Caesar salad sandwich so I stopped by but they opened up at 12PM, it was 11:40AM. The worker saw me check my times and informed me that they open in 20 mins as they opened the door. They then INVITED me in as they prepped their kitchen and stocked up for the day. I sat idly by for 20 mins inside because they didn't want me standing outside. Could I have browsed the other stores in JC to kill time? Of course.

This place used to be a food truck and now is an amazing storefront. When I tell you I dream of these cheesesteaks, I am not even exaggerating. The time they shut down the truck before opening their storefront was probably the hardest parts of my lunch life. I had no good lunch spots for months. The fact that the people who work there are so friendly and great is really just the cherry on the top. I have tried just about everything on their menu and all of it is amazing but the Korean Cheesesteak will always be my favorite. My only request is that they keep onion rings on their menu every day. read more

Okay... so... I ordered delivery from GrubHub. Let me start with the positives. The Korean chicken sandwich had good flavor. The chicken is basted in a sticky hot honey kind of sauce. The Asian slaw was tasty. I liked that the chicken breasts weren't super thick but thin slices. The not so good... When delivering a sandwich that has lots of sauces, the best thing to do is deconstruct it. Put the sauces on the side and put the buns in the oven so they don't get so soggy. My sandwich was so wet by the time it arrived that I had a hard time enjoying it. The chicken was sauced. The bun was sauced. The Asian slaw was sauced. Whole sandwich was sauced. The fries were super basic. No real flavor. I didn't finish them. I wouldn't go out of my way to order from here again. But if you're in the area, it could be a good sandwich to grab. read more

I had meaning to come here for like a year, but it's a bit off my regular path and isn't open every day, so even with the best of intentions it took me a while to check it out. It was very good. The sandwich was huge - two pieces of chicken where one was already a legit sandwich, so I now have lunch for tomorrow. Fries were prepared well. Price was fair. Service was extremely friendly. My only criticism is that they've gotta get Heinz ketchup instead of that generic stuff. Otherwise it was on point. read more

The store opened recently and it's very much a take out restaurant that sells one of the best fried chicken sandwiches at a decent price. I called ahead because UberEats has a slight surcharge and they were able to finish my order in 15 mins. I came over and got the food within a minute. Quick service and the food was delicious. Food: Peruvian - super crispy with sauces and great taste. The pickled red onions were delicious and all the sauces made the sandwich.

Bomb! Bomb! Bomb! I am a fried chicken lover, and this was good fried chicken. But who knew that the fries were going to be equally as delicious as a sandwich?!!! Oh my freaking God! What I would suggest, is that the on the buttermilk fried chicken sandwich, there is some additional mayo or whatever the white sauce is, I found it a bit dry and having to add some more mayo or ketchup at home to make this easier to chew and digest. But that doesn't take away from the five star review. It's delicious! read more

I really appreciated their generosity and I can't stress enough how much I enjoyed the food. I had been craving some good Puerto Rican food and this definitely left me feeling satisfied!

One truck are for walk up order and wait only take credit cards or mobile pay. No cash. The other truck looked as for delivery orders. Prices I could tell were a bit inflated/higher than the brick and mortar locations. But you are paying for convenience and it is outdoor so you can properly social distance while you order. Definitely a plus for weekend and don't have to fight usual crowds in mall or local stores. Limited menu/burgers/fried chicken /fries/shakes/ no nuggets available

*Note: This review is from the perspective of eating at Corgi Spirits in Jersey City…read more A resounding yes from my palate, my pocket, my everything! I loved these balls. I had them when I went to Corgi Spirits and it was great! Pros: - Convenient: I could order by text and get the food delivered to my seat in Corgi Spirits! - Cost: Great prices - Biodegradable containers! I love the environmental consciousness! - Delicious! I got the vegetarian option and usually vegetarian dishes are hard to make tasty but there's success here! - Honest, friendly service: The owner didn't want to charge me at first because he said it wasn't mentioned on the menu that the balls are served cold. He said if I liked it, I could pay on my way out. I thought that was crazy talk because his business is food and I received it so I should pay for it but still, the gesture was immensely appreciated. Cons: - It's Jersey City or roaming around somewhere not near me in Bergen County so I have less accessibility to it and can't eat it enough. If you find this truck, go eat at this truck. You won't be disappointed!

The name of the game is meatballs: eight choices are offered and served up in a bowl (4 pieces) or on a half or whole potato roll. Since variety is the spice of life, feel free to mix and match: you won't be disappointed with anything offered. Well crafted standards (Italian style in red sauce, buffalo style with hot sauce and blue cheese) mingle with some bolder choices (jerk meatballs with mango and scotch bonnet, bahn mi balls with fresh jalapeno) and the Swedish style may be the best of the bunch, with brown gravy and a dill laced sour cream.

Faithful fans patiently on line.

Angry Archie's

(Tookout 04/09/2025 WE @ 5:00pm): Archie... there was no need to be angry; you were serving up some…read moregood food! In my quest to explore the various cuisine scenes throughout Jersey City and specifically the Heights, I finally made my way to Angry Archie's. I'd seen them on my previous exploratory walks and possibly saw them with a food truck at a nearby park event. However, it was the fact that they sold lobster rolls, and frankly, the marketer in me loved the graphic logo! Would I be angry or happy with Archie for my first lobster roll experience in New Jersey!? PURCHASE Angry Lobster Roll ($22.00): A massive amount of Maine lobster meat mixed with a spicy corn mayo all stuffed into a toasted bun, this was sufficient to split with my friend. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and the buttery toasted bun was truly the icing on the cake. It was pricey, but dammit it was so good! I would love to try the heated version next! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=goUcQr5lYWSZGJbXYKHnzg Angry Crab Cake Sandwich ($17.00): A bulbous lump of crab meat mixed with spicy aioli, drizzled with citrus crema, while rested on a bed of crispy arugula, and placed between a buttery toasted bun, this was more crab-forward in flavor as the other elements didn't stand out as much. Possibly if they used the same mix from the lobster roll, the taste would be more enhanced? Again, the bread was outstanding; seriously, I'd buy the bread as a side! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=l-4TdG2hdYIq98cTDexPnA Full Portion Parmesan Truffle Fries ($9.00): A massive portion size of long thick spud sticks covered in parmesan cheese, fresh herbs, and truffle oil with a side of garlic truffle aioli for dipping, this was a blissful meal on its own! And, although we used the aioli, it really wasn't needed or seemed overkill at this point. We had leftovers which weren't as good, so eat it while it was fresh! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=uUhKPVY-0yYo0Uhavagcqg Double Cheese Mac N Cheese ($11.00): An absurd amount of tender pasta mixed with a four-cheese sauce, shaved parmesan, and herbed panko bread crumbs, this was one of the best mac n cheese dishes I've ever had! The cheese level was off-the-charts, and the panko was an ingenious idea. This was enough for two meals if you ate it on its own. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=idy1dMFN72rKV_12nlFuEg SERVICE I placed the takeaway order online, arrived about five minutes early, and soon after a friendly young man behind the counter came from the kitchen with everything wrapped up and ready to go - perfection! PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance) This was an easy flat 20-minute walk from my friend's place. Otherwise, there appeared to be plenty of spots along the main drag of Palisade Ave. and all surrounding roads - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A simple layout https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=y5tIh_oEthczcPn2oM6SRg with a central order/pick-up counter that looked into the kitchen, a very legible menu https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=uo0dcsKpxRtaaKCYUf1RkA behind the counter, a dining bar with stools along the front window, a handful of tables, a hint of nautical decorations, and generally a really clean place. Plenty of natural lighting came through the large front window and door while recessed electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were no TVs while music played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=dI0QvZ2MaTIkFqGlAgh2iQ ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Angry Archie's was awesome, and I would definitely return to explore their menu even more! Hands down, the portion sizes were incredible, everything tasted amazing, the prices were very reasonable, and the service in our case was straightforward. And, I always loved supporting small businesses whenever possible. I found total value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $63.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS

The warm sandwich on bread was topped with brown butter. As a side, I decided to go with its nephew to the seafood family.

The only minor downside was these two seafood dishes burned a hole in my wallet, but it was definitely worth the splash!

If you been rocking since 1919, mi amor, I **have** to come see what's going on. That alone made me wanna pull up And let me tell you... I walked from Jersey City Heights down to downtown -- not a bad walk at all, un chin de cardio before breakfast . Real "treat yourself, mi amor" type of morning. Soon as I walked in... BABYYYY I felt like I got teleported straight into a little Italian market Shelves full of Italian goodies -- pastas, oils, snacks... I was like *yo quiero todo esto* It was giving *ciao bella, benvenuti, mangia mangia* vibes all day. The staff? Súper nice. No attitude, no rush -- just good energy.

Also... let me tell you about the BACK They got frozen pastas, little Napoli-style dishes, a whole meat section that looked crazy fresh, and you can order cold sandwiches too. Esto no es solo un deli -- it's a whole Italian experience, okurrr. And yes... it's a *little* pricey, no te voy a mentir. Pero honestly? You get what you pay for. Calidad, sabor, vibes -- todo está ahí. I skipped the coffee porque estoy tratando de behave con el budget but next time? And I'm coming back for that banana pudding porque I'm obsessed no shame. They got a little patio if you wanna sit, or you can take your food to the park and have a whole picnic moment. Real main character energy. Ponte linda, grab your sandwich, and just vibe out.

Torico Ice Cream

Established in 1968, this long-established shop makes all its ice cream in-house. Not only are the…read moreportions generous, but the texture is also incredibly smooth and silky, without any icy crystals or a hard, frozen consistency. Holding it or tasting it gives a substantial, high-quality feel. However, the consequence is that even the staff struggles to scoop it out with their spherical ice cream scoops, let alone the disposable plastic spoons provided to customers. Green Tea: The highest praise Chinese people can give for desserts--not sweet--and it truly tastes like green tea, not matcha. The refreshing bitterness was incredibly pure, even bordering on slightly bitter, which is extremely rare in the US. Vanilla Peanut Butter: Very milky, but extremely salty, like eating peanut butter spread on bread. The vanilla flavor was almost completely masked. Coconut & Cream: I've always trusted American coconut ice cream, but this time it was a bit of a disappointment. The cream completely overshadowed the coconut, so much so that it took me a long time to recall what flavor I actually ordered. Ube: One bite brought back childhood memories, exactly the same as the ube flavor Wuyang五羊 ice cream cone. It was so touching I didn't order this in the end since I want to try more flavors as possible. I don't know why, but ube flavor seems to be gradually fading in China... Blueberry Cheesecake: The initial taste was a rich, sweet cream, with a refreshing hint of blueberry tartness in the aftertaste. It's pretty good, but honestly, it's not particularly outstanding. Banana Peanut Butter Chunk: The staff recommended this signature dish, and it once again made me realize how subjective taste can be... It's on the sweeter and saltier side, with a very strong flavor, but more importantly, it has a noticeable artificial banana flavor.

I'm already planning my next visit...YUM! First time here and it did not disappoint! I'm so glad I…read morefound yummy homemade ice cream at a family owned spot. There's so many yummy flavors - it's hard to choose! I ultimately went with the rocky road (my classic favorite) and the cheesecake with rainbow sprinkles (because why not!?) and enjoyed every bite! I think the rocky road could've used more marshmallows but that's my personal preference for my favorite childhood fave ice cream. Service was great and allow you to try a couple flavors if you're unsure which is great as not all ice cream spots makes the flavors the same! It's only street parking so get ready to search for that when you come to visit - but it's worth it! And read street signs so you don't get towed or ticketed.
