Ramen Gami is a highly-rated Japanese-style restaurant that specializes in ramen, noodles, and sushi dishes. The environment of this location is often described as comfy and the service is explained as extremely courteous and helpful. Many even go as far as to say that this is the best Ramen place in the New Jersey and New York area!

I’ve wanted to try this place, I was finally in the area so I ordered online and picked it up. Got the oxtail burger with a side salad. The burger was so good, one of the best I’ve had. It was like a smash burger kinda and was juicy and good flavor. Definitely gotta try more things here.

Fantastic food! Loved the brisket, salad, jerk chicken, yellow rice and shrimp empanadas. Great atmosphere with the park around you. Can’t wait to try their jazz brunch.

Went for lunch since it’s somewhat close to my office and was highly recommended by a coworker. OMG! Best ramen I’ve had in Jersey, I got a spicy tonkotsu with chicken and egg (I usually get tofu but unfortunately they didn’t have that protein option) and it was delicious. The broth felt “homemade” with the perfect amount of spiciness and was such a comforting meal! 10/10 recommend

Food was solid. Definitely recommend and returning for more. The Miso Raman was very good.

Tops Diner creates a fancy yet casual feel from the moment you walk in the door. Not only is this a casual restaurant, but there is also a DJ and hookah bar that many believe adds to this lively and energetic environment. Since COVID, Tops has been recently renovated and has upped their service. It’s a short drive from NJPAC and the Prudential Center that you won’t regret. Call ahead and make a reservation though! It gets booked quickly.

So glad Hobby’s is back after a long renovation. The food is just as excellent as always. The onion rings are a must order - so fresh and flavorful. They aren’t doing table service yet, you order at the counter then sit, but the owner said they hope to hire more staff to be able to do so soon.

This place is 100% legit. Great people, great atmosphere and great food. Really authentic, great meat

I was really excited to try this place because I have only heard great things. When they finally reopened after covid I had to check it out. I had the pastrami and corned beef on rye which comes with Cole slaw and Russian dressing. It was great! It definitely is a bit on the expensive side, but you get quality food and a big sandwich. I really enjoyed it and will definitely be going back to check out some other stuff on the menu.

Fantastic diner. I wasn’t expecting it to be this good. This isn’t your typical diner, there’s a DJ and hookah and all that!! Great music, amazing food, and great service, what else could you ask for? I tried the crab cakes, Cajun mixed grill, jambalaya pasta and peach cobbler. Everything was delicious. I can’t wait to come back for brunch!

Beautifully renovated, enormous, diner conveniently located off the NJ Turnpike, Rte 21, and Rte 280. Close to NJPAC and Prudential Center. Service was great. Bartender came to my table to inquire if 1/2 ounce of dry vermouth was what I preferred in my Grey Goose dry martini. Perfect and incredible attention to detail. Upon arrival, the drink was excellent!

Maaaaaaan for a minute I didn’t recognize the place!! I haven’t been here post Covid. I remember waiting 20-25 mins just to be seated. It only took 1 min for me to get a table. The Place is sure bigger and maaaaaan the FANCCCCY!! The place looks more modern and very eye catching.
