    Where the locals meet for great breakfast and lunch at reasonable cost. Great service and feels like home. I'm probably there three times a month and see a lot of familiar faces. Love it.

    Wow! What an awesome Sunday brunch my wife and I had here today! This was the first time we've been to this restaurant since it was taken over by new owners and totally remodeled. The place looks amazing! It has the feel of an old time luncheonette with the counter to sit at, but there's also a large dining room as well as outside seating. Very cool decorations throughout. The food was excellent! I ordered the omelette with mushrooms, cheddar, and spinach, with 7 grain toast. My wife had the bacon & egg avocado toast. We both loved it. Coffee and iced coffee were delicious as well! The best thing about this restaurant was how friendly everyone was. The owners, Ann Marie and her daughter Thea took so much time telling us of the place. The property has actually been owned by their family for 100 years! If you're in Rockaway and looking for a great meal, or even some homemade ice cream, do yourself a favor and stop in, you'll be happy you did!

    Went to Riverside Shoppe for a girls day brunch to celebrate my birthday! I got a white chocolate latte with oat milk and a tuna melt (I know, weird combo). Both were amazing - I would come back just for the coffee alone (and a pastry of course). Our waitress was super nice as well. Hoping to make girls brunch a more frequent tradition here :)

    We visited Riverside Shoppe while attending a toy collector convention in Hanover, NJ. We stumbled across this hidden gem by sheer coincidence. It was one of the best experiences of hospitality and kindness of my entire life. It was our friend Pablo's 44th birthday who was visiting from Panama and Ann Marie and her team prepared a mountain of ice cream sandwiches, chocolate eclairs, and more with whipped cream, sprinkles and a candle. We all sang "Happy Birthday" to him. Being from a foreign country and experiencing real American hospitality was very touching for him. If you're ever in or near Roackaway, NJ, please visit and support Riverside Shoppe. The food is amazing and service is top notch. Huge Thank you to Ann Marie and her team.

    Rolled Up to the brand new Riverside Shoppe for a quick bite to shove in My face and gotta say I really like what they did with this place. It's been partially renovated inside with new windows to brighten the place up and a wall was removed for a better view of the kitchen.    First time in here I went with My trusted old favorite; Taylor Ham, Egg, and American Cheese Sandwich on a Roll and I was pretty satisfied overall. The coffee is very good here too as is the Counter Service.   In all honesty, while this wouldn't be My first choice for brunch in Rockaway Boro, I gotta say it's Supercool to see a new business open up in town so l'm gonna try and show 'em some support whenever I can. Come And Get Your Munch On!!  ;D

My husband and I LOVE Korean food and used frequent Fort Lee before we moved from Montclair, so we were dying to find a decent Korean place by our new house. I think this will be our new go-to. The meal came with the usual banchan, like kimchi, chamoyte, and pickled radish. The bulgogi was excellent and was served on top of some stir fried vegetables. We also really enjoyed the K-Noodle. Although we ordered takeout, the noodles were still a little chewy, and not soggy at all. The korean fried chicken was similarly very good, but I don't think it traveled as well as we hoped. It could have been a bit crispier, but that's proabably our fault for ordering it as takeout. We stuck it in the toaster oven for a little bit and it was good as new. Overall we will definitely be returning and trying some new items!

While their Ham &…read moreCheese sounds classic, with ingredients like gruyere, ham, grilled onion, and Dijon on Levain Pullman bread, it's amazing! Then their Crispy Goat filled with chévre, goat Gouda, applewood bacon, and avocado on multigrain bread sounded good, but I liked the first one better because I could really taste the cheese. To drink, their refreshing Strawberry Hibiscus Lemonade isn't too sweet. I also ordered an Iced Coffee with Cardamom Orange Syrup, but they had run out of the syrup. Instead, they offered it with peach syrup which was interesting but I wouldn't get it again. With cheesy sandwiches grilled with love and loaded with toppings, say yes! NOTES/TIPS: **Inside Rockaway Townsquare Mall near Sears. **Wheelchair-accessible restrooms are across from it. **It takes a little while to get your order during the lunchtime rush so they give you a beeper thing.

The food in the video wall behind the counter showed great looking grilled cheeses! Mac & cheese bowls, and other items!! But what we got... a 5th grader could make more appealing food than this! No prices on the wall menu... because the "food was WAY OVERPRICED !!! And nothing comes with this minuscule "sandwich"!! Nothing! To add salt to the wound ... normal drinks are almost as much as a sandwich!!! Really!!??!! AND cheese grill has the nerve to charge still an "inflation" charge! $23.18!! For 2 sandwiches, 1 drink!! NEVER Again!! Save yourself the aggregation, and go somewhere else!

The care that went into the lunch dish did not reflect the price as it was well above what I expected. Loved this place and for sure will be back. Thank you.

The person who took my order was very nice and you could tell she was passionate about the food she brings to her customers. When I first heard of this restaurant, I was hesitant about the quality of the food, due to the fact that it is multiple Asian cuisines under one roof. However, once I took a bite of my food, my concerns were gone. I ordered the Veggie Ramen (Spicy). Trust me, the spice really brings out the flavor. The noodles were perfectly cooked it holds firms on the chopsticks. You have the option to either have your tofu steamed or fried (I chose fried). The black fungus gives a meaty texture to the dish, which works well for any vegetarians missing out. The real star of the dish, in my opinion, is the broth. This is where the flavor really comes from; the savory elements blends with the noodles and the tofu every time you dip your chopsticks. The crunchiness from the corn, scallions, and bamboo shoots balances out the noodles. After this fantastic experience, I have no doubt that I will return to Kazu and relive it all over again!

So when I saw $2 off sushi buffet at this local eatery, I harangued my friend into visiting. And forgot my coupon. (Actually, I discovered it's been in my wallet this whole time. Return trip!) The most notable points: Ambiance is simple, not a lot of room inside. Service is punctual but not the most easily understandable in English. All you can eat is not buffet. It's "order and be served", which I have also seen at Miga Sushi. So we did that. They will bring you a fresh piece of paper every time. I stuck to the sushi side of the menu for the most part. The one thing I sprung for on the other side was the spicy seaweed salad, to get my veggies in. And it was really good. Not your usual green rubbery goop. Stringy, spicy dressing, great flavor. 5 stars will get next time. Appetizer, I also did "not raw" and went for the fried scallops. Well, they were still kinda raw inside, which I really enjoyed. Gobbled those up. The rest of my time here was spent mashing through roll after delicious roll of sushi. I definitely had fun with that. Ended the afternoon with a scoop of green tea ice cream, which if you read the fine print is also included in AYCE. Strong 4 stars to start, I'll throw the 5th their way because AYCE. Now I have to go spend this coupon...

Yet I feel the rolls are not that exciting or fresh, temp feels off not chilled enough. The decor is minimal with no focal point , I'm not sure what to look at . The servers are working take out and sitting down is an inconvenience i think. I saw another review , it felt similar so now I know it's not me. Rare would I return when driving extra distance can be a completely satisfying experience ! Needs new owners or management .
