Reytas is the best Filipino food in South Jersey.

All of the staff are super polite and friendly. The ambiance is very nice, with warm lighting and nice places to sit. I will say that Reytas has no vegetarian options, so if someone in your party is vegetarian, be aware.

First time trying this spot with my friends and it did not disappoint! We ordered the mixed…read moreplatter, and it came with so much food, fried fish, lechon, and a variety of other dishes. Everything was delicious and flavorful. The only thing I didn't love was the noodles, which were a bit mushy, but still tasty overall. The place itself is small and cozy, with a nice relaxed vibe. We went on a weekday, so it wasn't too busy, which made it even more enjoyable. Service was great too! Even though there was only one person handling everything, they were friendly and attentive. They also have some Filipino treats you can grab to go, which is a fun bonus. Overall, a really nice experience and I'd definitely come back again to try more dishes!

Pork BBQ used pork belly. Small rice was $2, and was plenty. Prices very reasonable. Store sold Filipino supplies and groceries. Plenty of tables and chairs in adjoining room.

They do not do combination platters, so everything is à la carte, and doesn't include rice. You really only need one entree and one rice and you're good to go. This food is phenomenal.

Went for one of their Kamayan nights…read more Interesting concept and certainly fun to try with friends - as long as you don't mind family style sharing and getting a little messy. A little pricy for what it was ~$70 per person after tax and tip All of the proteins were very well cooked - fish was flaky and moist, the chicken was extreme tender. And the lumpia and pork belly were both crispy and well seasoned. All the sauces were extremely delicious Only downside was the balance - far too much rice in relation to the amount of vegetable curry and protein and neither of these were particularly flavorful The interior was also pretty small although service was attentive If they improved a little on the flavor of their carbs and curry base and provided a little more value for the cost I think this would have been a knockout meal

FOOD Wow! Incredible food! Of all the dishes we tried, all…read moreof them hit the spot. We had their sinigang na salmon, sizzling pork sisig, and banana pudding dessert. -Sinigang na salmon: 8/10 -Sizzling pork sisig: a bit on the fattier side for my liking but still great nonetheless! 8/10 -Banana pudding dessert: 10/10; we melted on the first bite. The condensed milk in the cream complemented the banana and cake perfectly! Would definitely return just for this dessert. DRINKS We had their banana latte and calamansi drinks. Both were light and refreshing! SERVICE The staff are very kind and friendly! AMBIANCE There are two floors-- both offering a nice view of the restaurant and the street below. In the daytime, the place functions as a cafe, where guests often come to catch up with friends or study/work. At night, the place transforms into a cozy, intimate space to enjoy a nice meal with friends and loved ones. Ample seating is available on both floors, ranging from tables for 8-10, counter seating, and smaller tables for smaller tables for 2-4. PARKING Paid street parking is available at a limited capacity.

Went with a group of about 7 or 8 and it was very difficult to get seating. The time you walk through the door, order your food, and to receive it will take quite a while. By 11:30 on Saturday, they have to stop people from walking in and wait outside until the line inside shortened. For anyone looking for the most authentic Filipino food, this is not the place. With that said, the food is still good. It has a Filipino flare, with a modern, for the masses, feel. Would try the place, but not frequently.

Two entrees and rice/noodles for a set price, but when you select your two entrees, if it contains beef or pork, which is the WHOLE menu, they charge you extra. Now what starts out as a combination plate with rice/noodles and two entrees for $11, becomes + $2 for beef and + $3 for pork, and you end up paying $16 with tax. Inflation is a B!tch and everybody is taking advantage of it in their own way. I cook better than these restaurants anyway. We were just trying to patronize to show support. I'll be cooking from home until this lunacy ceases to persist.

We came on a Friday at lunch 11/8/24. My husband and myself ordered food and ate it at the restaurant. I can only speak for the food I ate. Our food was places in a black to go container. I ordered sour soup, rice and Lechon kawali. The food is good. My husband ate all his food. We also had take orders Pork bbq on a stick Beef and chicken empanadas Dried fish Suman sa lihiya and I also requested additional brown sweet sauce. I was so happy ! We went home- unpacked the food I was excited to eat by suman- I opened both brown sweet sauce to find MOLD GROWING ON BOTH CONTAINERS. This is unacceptable. It just killed my vibe. You as restaurant workers who represent the food you make and sell, should know better. This is not good business! I am not to sure if I will return. It may be closer to home , MOLD ON THE FOOD YOU SELL IS NOT ACCEPTABLE! At least in Jersey city , I can look at the food that I am buying. Advise to owner and employees: please look before selling food to customers.
