Madw reservations for Valentine's Day with my boyfriend - I really enjoyed the food here!!! Even picky eaters like myself can find something they enjoy. My favorites were the crispy broccoli and the potato fritter takos. Each dish was packed with so many flavors that complimented each other so we'll. I also had the Sherry drink, it was very unique and tasty. We left feeling full but NOT heavy. Everything was fresh and filled with veggies so I felt good after leaving.
Flavorful bites and unique sips at Kantina! My daughter and I recently visited, and we absolutely loved it. From the delicious Spicy Salmon Hand Rolls, Chinese Pork Dumplings, and Tuna Tostadas to the Shiitake Mushroom Fried Rice—served in a cast iron and mixed tableside—everything was bursting with flavor. We also tried the Korean Hot Chicken TAKOS, Sushi Roll TAKOS, and Moo Shu Pork TAKOS, each one unique and tasty! Their ordering style is fun and different—just write down the numbers on the ordering card. The drinks were just as amazing, especially the Housemade Sangria, Miso Lemonade, and refreshing cocktails. We also enjoyed the decadent S’more Waffles, loaded with rich flavors. The ambiance is perfect, with both indoor and outdoor seating. If you’re around New York or Upper North New Jersey, this spot is a must-visit!
Went for happy hour yesterday and it was fantastic. Anna was our server/bartender and was so sweet and can make a great drink. Summer made our second round and just as great! Such a nice staff!!!. Food was delicious and cannot wait to go back again
Loved the lobster hand roll, marinated cucs, sweet potato dumplings, everything was delicious. Amazing cocktails. Pleasant staff, bartender, owners!! I’ll definitely be back, (also the other location is fabulous too!)
We came here for a Birthday Dinner, and was really impressed by the Staff, the Food, and the Menu. We honestly wanted to sample everything, but settled for a few tacos and split apps. I really loved the Bulgogi Dumplings, Tuna Tostada, & the Hibachi Chicken Tacos. Would definitely recommend for a unique spin. This post was made in connection with a Toast promotion.
