ONDO Jersey City

Ondo - Review - The Waterfront - Jersey City - The Infatuation

"You could snag decent tickets to a Devils game for around $65. Or, you could go to Ondo, a Korean restaurant in Jersey City with a great prix fixe menu, and eat a very filling meal for the same price. It’s a great way to impress a date or some coworkers. There’s great value here—the five-course prix fixe, with things like raw fish, short ribs, and branzino, could easily cost another $30 and we wouldn’t blink an eye. It’s right on the Hudson, but located on the parking lot side of an apartment building, with dark windows and a pretty minimalist interior. But that’s OK, because the eye-catching plates—like a fluke hwe with doenjang or extra-crispy chicken gangjeong—are the reason you’re here. Come for a casual date night that feels more expensive than it is, or with a group of friends or coworkers—especially if you live near the waterfront—and get the soju flowing." - Will Hartman
