Cellar 335

Cellar 335 is a hidden gem with a vibrant tiki vibe and an impressive menu that delivers on flavor. We started with charred edamame, tender chicken skewers, and a fresh, flavorful tuna tartare—each dish bursting with bold, balanced tastes. For mains, the drunken noodles had the perfect kick, the chicken tikka masala was rich and comforting, and the avocado rice added a unique, satisfying twist. We ended on a sweet high with the velvety espresso mousse and moist banana cake. Every bite was delicious, and the atmosphere made it even better. A must-visit spot for fun cocktails and memorable bites!

From the hostess, to bartenders, to waiters to manager, this staff is NOTHING LESS than perfection.The food NEVER, and I mean never disappoints. The drinks are absolutely phenomenal & the atmosphere is spectacular. This place is wonderful for a girls night, date night, or even a solo night. I highly recommend the ribeye!!!! I will definitely be back again!!!

I love the decor, creative menu and excellent service at Cellar 335. My favorite dish was the delicious Masala meatballs.

Upscale, craft style tiki bar with an incredibly sophisticated cocktail and food menu. Staff was wonderful and friendly and the drinks were divine. Wish they had their own mugs to purchase!! You know a tiki bar is special when their food menu rivals their drink menu. Don't sleep on the corn bread! Our favorite of the night were the salmon and crispy rice bites. Although it is all a bit pricey, the quality and flavors made them definitely worth it. Added bonus: one of the coolest swizzle sticks I've ever seen! 🦈

A fun funky spot for Pan-Asian food. The black walls and mood lighting give it a cozy vibe and set the mood. The chilllax waiters in half buttoned Hawaiian shirts set the tone. The many delicious offerings will fill your belly and you will leave happy. We tried an assortment of items - the kimchi rice, the drunken noodles, the pork shank bao buns, cauliflower bites, schezuan cauliflower... all really delicious and worth trying. The korean bbq ribs didn't really seem worth it as they didn't have much meat on them but everything else was terrific. I also had a few different cocktails and their tiki themed drinks are fun. I saw a few larger tiki drinks (flaming bowls of rum) go by, all the patrons were having a good time. Clearly a popular spot for a reason - be sure you grab a reservation if you want to go.

This place has a warm and cozy atmosphere, making it a great spot for a casual date night. The Grilled Chicken Satay came as four skewers of chicken breast, and while it was a bit dry on its own, the peanut sauce really brought it to life. The Korean-style wings stole the show—crispy, slightly sweet, and topped with sesame seeds for an extra pop of flavor. While the food portions are on the smaller side, the quality and presentation make up for it. I also tried the Foam Dead Flowers IPA, which was light, subtly sweet, and a great pairing with the meal. If you’re looking for a cozy spot with friendly service, good drinks, and flavorful bites, this is a solid choice—especially for a date night!

What a hidden gem! This tiki bar restaurant is fabulous. The service is top notch, the food is incredible and the vibe is so cool. Cannot wait to come back again and try the rest of the menu/drinks.

Cellar 335 is a must for any resident or visitor. Upscale but with the fun of Polynesia. We stopped by during their pop up (sleighs & leis) where there cocktail menu took on a beach/Christmas vibe. The drinks were fantastic and the food is outstanding. Would recommend going for bites & drinks and cannot recommend their chicken wings enough. Awesome spot in JC and one of the few top tier cocktail bars.

Came here for dinner Friday night with another couple and we had lots of fun! It's decorated like a tiki bar and the drinks come in fun tropical/tiki glasses. The waiters are also super friendly. Food wise, everything we ordered was delicious. Their menu is tapas and bao platters, and they are not stingy with their portions. We ordered the salmon tartare crispy rice, Korean soy garlic wings, pork and kimchi fried rice, duck bao and pork belly bao. For dessert, we ordered the chocolate mousse and ube cannoli. I was pleasantly surprised at how well balanced their Asian fusion flavors were. For drinks, they have fun tropical cocktails including 2 large format drinks that serve 2-4. They also have a full bar where you can order well drinks. Overall, I enjoyed our dinner here and would come back to try more dishes!

Really good restaurant. The vibes are always very chill and it's def a busy place on most nights I've been (I've been twice; on a Friday night and Saturday night) - def go with a reservation cause I've seen people waiting both times. Service was pretty good. Everything was fine except on the most recent visit, it felt like the waiter stopped visiting our table after he asked us if we wanted a refill of our beverages. When we said no, he literally checked on the two tables on both sides of us multiple times until I had to flag him down. Mind you, our plates were pushed away from us and we were done. I also see how busy it was so this is me being super nit picky. Outside of that, he was great. Just something to mention as an observation. Food: Kimchi Fried Rice: 10/10 Wings (Maple Chipotle): 7/10 Pork Belly Bao Dish: 10/10 Ribeye Bulgogi: 6/10 The cocktails tend to be very fruity and sweet so I now stick to drinks neat or Prosecco. Even the wine I got last time felt like a light pour. Will for sure be back for the bao and rice!

Such a fun and filling dinner at Cellar 335! I came here years ago and really enjoyed it and once I saw they decorated for Christmas I had to revisit. Upon walking in, I was shocked that the decor was even prettier in person! I was also shocked the times weren't as booked as other places because this spot has good food and drinks. My party of 5 came at 5:15pm on a week day and it wasn't packed until after 7pm. Our server was super nice, attentive, and knowledgeable of the menu enough to help us. My mom and sister had the Smoldering Bastard and I had Gin-Gle All The Way. I was scared it would be too ginger-y but the other ingredients blended in perfectly that it wasn't overwhelming. Did I mention they come in the cutest big mugs?! We decided to share a few apps. We ordered the Korean style wings, BBQ Short Ribs, and fries (which were wedges). The star to us was the short ribs. So much so that we ordered another plate. Everything had so much flavor. It was great! I'll definitely be back.

Cellar 335 is a tiki bar taking Asian influences and mixing them with an American style menu. The place is decorated in a tiki and island themed and creates a great environment. The places gets quite load so beware. It isn't a great spot for a date but definitely a great spot to go out with friends. The food was delicious I highly recommend the Korean style wings marinated in a garlic soy sauce. Created a great sweetness to the wings. We also got the drunken noodles. Served with chicken, tomato, basil. Service was great at the bar serving great and strong tiki drinks. Definitely a spot I will go back to again.

3 stars...We came here with a few good friends and Cellar 335 came highly recommended. I wanted to love the restaurant although there were a few things that made me give them less stars than I wanted to. The restaurant gets packed, it has a great vibe, good crowd, friendly employees, good tasting food and the prices were fair. There is a large bar and the decorations for Christmas were well done. The waiter provided some great recommendations and details on all the dishes. We started with a few appetizers which were all great! We had the Korean style chicken wings, the cucumber salad, the tuna tarte and the peppered beef. For main courses we ordered two orders of the Branzino, one order of the Scottish Salmon and one of the drunken noodles. All the dishes were served at the correct temperature, were well presented and had excellent flavor. For dessert we had the Banana bread with chocolate gelato, the passion fruit Panna Cotta and the chocolate cake. We also had a few drinks called the shouldering bastard which is their take on a Moscow mule. I have to point out the few negatives as they will definitely impact any decision of coming back in the future. If you go through the hundreds of reviews I've written as an Elite Yelper I try to stay focused on the positives and try to promote the business. The most noticeable was that the dishes came out at completely different times. We shared a number of appetizers although they were several minutes apart. I you are going to do that, consult the customer and ask them if that will work. The main courses were the worst. The drunken noodles came out, and about 8 minutes later the two Branzino enteees came out. Then about 5 minutes later the Scottish Salmon came out. I offered up my drunken noodles to everyone as I did not want to start without them. The other part that I was not aware of was a time limit on the table. I did not make the reservation so the main party may have been aware. This has been something many restaurants implemented during COVID and have kept it in place. Sometimes you can't put profits ahead of customer satisfaction and repeat business. There is usually more profits in alcohol and we probably would have ordered at least one more round of drinks and not stayed more than 30 minutes. The waiter took a while to ask about deserts, we could not get tea or coffee as I think their machine was broken. When I drive this far I would like tine to relax, digest my food and let any alcohol pass through my system before driving again. We each drove at least one hour to get there. A few from Oakland NJ and some from Brooklyn NY. We felt rushed at the end which was disappointing. Overall nice night, I would recommend them if you are ok with the time limits.

Generous portion of small plates with interesting combinations and flavors. We tried the Korean chicken wings, salmon tartare on crispy rice, pork knuckle with bao, the drunken noodle, and ended with a dark chocolate dessert. Some of the dishes like the knuckle were a little too strong flavored to our liking. The setting and the music were funky.

Went here on NYE for an early dose of drinks and apps. Drinks Smoldering bastard- gingery and tingly. Best of the lot!! Mai tai- strong toward the end, otherwise a regular Mai tai Kringle on Kingston- average. Tasted different than first two but not my favorite Fighting five- very similar to smoldering bastard overall a good drink with a spicy touch. Food Charred edamame- ordered twice. I'll keep you honest- I chose this place just for their edamame! Charred to perfection with right amount of salt and lime! Avocado fried rice- actual fried rice with sautéed veggies and a big spoon of tasty avacado on top- delicious! Korean wings- average of the lot. But would definitely order again because it goes good with the tiki drinks. Service was great and vibe was christmasy.

This is always a fun time, their tiki drinks are also interesting, delicious, and just fun. Definitely come during Christmas because they redecorate the whole place and have holiday themed mugs/drinks. The food is always good, great for splinting. Most of the menu is Thai / Asian influenced. To start we got spicy salmon over crispy rice (great texture contrast between the crunch of the rice and soft salmon). Next was drunken noodz which were cooked perfectly and coated in a delicious sauce. Lastly we got duck bao buns, in which the buns were super pillowy , but the duck was a bit chewy and over cooked.

The service was phenomenal. Our waitress was attentive and friendly and explained all the specials clearly. She let us taste their frozen drink which was absolutely delicious. Great experience will be returning.

it is one of my favorite spots in Jersey City spots! The walk down to the restaurant is deceiving, the venue is large with tiki bar aesthetic. The drinks are immaculate and blend of flavorful but not shy with alcohol. My personal favorite is the Smoldering Bastard. The food is all very good. I literally try something new every time I'm here. The spicy cornbread, tiki meatballs, any bao options, crisy rice appetizer, and cucumber salad are some of the best on the menu. The experience is worth ever penny.

I was so excited to visit Cellar 335 again as the last time I visited was years ago, and I mean years! I made a reservation for Thursday evening, and it wasn't too crowded, it was perfect. My friend and I started off with our drinks which I really wish I remembered the names of. I believe it was Lost at Sea and Saturn. The drinks were worth it, they come well presented and pack a punch! Since we were really hungry, we decided to order the large-format bao bun meal which is meant for more than one person (LOL) but we figured we could take some home. I ordered the crispy tofu and my friend ordered the fried chicken. IT WAS DELICIOUS! We even have some to take home too because I had to have my sister try it. Our waiter was super attentive and answered any questions we had. The ambience is beautiful, it's dimly lit and I love the decor. The bar area is gorgeous. Sometimes they even have specials on the weekdays. Cellar 335 is definitely a Jersey City gem. Make sure you make a reservation and check them out! P.S. parking sucks, it's Jersey City so if you're driving, make sure you leave enough time to find parking!

Cellar 335 is beyond well worth the headache of driving to and finding parking in Jersey City (if you know, you know). You walk downstairs (hence the name) to a dimly lit but vibrant with artwork and spacious restaurant. The music doesn't match the restaurant, as it was American oldies and movie soundtrack tunes playing. At least it's at a level where you can hear whoever you're dining with. For drinks, I had Missed the Boat (pineapple, cinnamon, passion fruit, ginger, allspice, and rum. Literally the perfect drink. Everything was exceptionally balanced and strong enough that I was happy ordering just one. My girlfriend ordered the Happy Harbor (grapefruit, cinnamon, sherry, allspice, and bourbon), which she enjoyed but as much as mine. For starters, we ordered the Maple Chipotle wings and Salmon Tartar and Crispy Rice. The wings were exceptional. With every bite the crunch and flavors jumped off the table. I contemplated ordering a 2nd helping. You can tell how much pride they take in making their drinks and food here. The salmon and crispy rice were flavorful as well. We both ordered bao buns for dinner, as I got the pork shank and she got the crispy duck. You get 8 buns, a side of vegetables or kimchi, and your meat in a separate dish with sauces. I appreciated the fact that you get to make your buns, which was unique to me. The pork shank was fall off the bone tender, and the white bbq sauce complimented it nicely. The duck was delicious but it shouldn't be called crispy. The food and drinks came out at reasonable times, and our server and busboy were pleasant all night. We look forward to future visits.

We stopped into Cellar 335 again the other day, after a dinner at its connected sister restaurant, Madame. At that point in the evening, I was done with cocktails, but tried a small sip of the Big Iron, a blend of cola, vanilla, mandarin, cherry, rum, and cachaca. The tiki-style drink tasted like a mix of Cherry and Vanilla Coke varieties, so it was good, but sweet. I did, however, initiate the ordering of the Spicy Cornbread for a sort of dessert. The treat was on the drier side and had a subtle hint of spice. It was topped with a small disc of firm, honey-Togarashi butter, which needed to be manually incorporated into the pastry, ensuring that the amount was to our liking. It was fine, but like other food we had had there in the past, just mediocre. While I loved the vibe and happening crowd at the creative Cellar 335, I felt like they could really improve their food.

Everything is delicious and flavorful and generous portions with the highest quality and best attention to service! We started out with drinks and edamame and cornbread not to be missed! For mains, my partner and I ordered shrimp garlic, filet mignon, and avocado fried rice. So darn good!

My partner and I have been here twice. The #1 reason we came back was for the wings! What a crunch! It's a must have item. In addition to the wings, between both visits we also tried the cornbread, Bao Buns (Pork Shank and Pork Belly), Shrimp Pasta (special) and the Rib-eye Bulgogi. The food is rich in flavor and the portions are definitely made for sharing. We probably could have ordered an appetizer and one entree for both of us but we like trying new things so we packed up our tasty leftovers and enjoyed them the following day. Drink: The Smoldering Bastard: This is very ginger forward! If you love ginger this is for you. I didn't love it but it's not a bad drink. Seating: not the most comfortable for parties or two if you are a little on the thicker side. Service: Very attentive! Our server was excellent and offered great suggestions. Vibe: Great for a drink at the bar or an amazing meal!

What a hoot! This restaurant looks like a tiki bar inside; they complete the bins with their fun drink menu and surf music playing. I came by with a couple of friends pretty early on a weekend. We were seated quickly and our server was really sweet. We asked about Non-alcoholic beverages, and she said they could make any of their cocktails without booze. But, so many drinks have flavored liquors, so I can't imagine the N/A version of any of their drinks would be good; we agreed it would be super if they had a Mocktail menu to accompany their current Alcoholic one. Their food menu was pretty great and their portions were larger than expected (appetizers are actually shareable); I tried the Bok Choy with mushroom appetizer and thoroughly enjoyed it. My main was the Roasted Scottish Salmon with veggies. It had pretty amazing flavors and I really enjoyed it! It would be fun to come back and really tiki it up!

The food is great and fairly unique for the area. The menu is all shareable plates which is nice for a group, but can get pricey quickly. The drinks come in fun containers. We came during the holiday season, so the whole place is festively decorated. The only complaint was the noise; it was a packed night and we had to speak up to hear each other across the table.

Best bao buns!!! Randomly stumbled upon this place while on a trip and so glad we did. We had the short rib bao buns and they were amazing. Can't wait to come back. The ambiance was dark while still laid back and nice. Definitely recommended.

Returned for dinner with a group and had another great experience. I tried: + Shipwrerrrrecked cocktail + Dead man walking cocktail + Smoldering bastard + Spicy cornbread + bao down - crispy pork belly + Confit duck legs and scallion pancakes + Avocado rice + Chinese broccoli + shrimp and garlic + Cellar fries + Salmon Sushi special + Ube cheesecake cannoli + Passionfruit panna cotta My favorite cocktail was the shipwrecked, though the dead man walking was also awesome. Standout food was the confit pancakes, avocado rice and my fave - the ube cannoli. Runners-up were the spicy cornbread, pork belly bao, shrimp and garlic, salmon special and panna cotta. Make a reservation if possible!

This place is the absolute most amazing restaurant I've ever been to in my entire life! From the food to the service to the decoration and ambiance I love everything about it. I will 1000% be back here again and again and again! I went here for my friends birthday in December it was Christmas themed from the decor to the drinks! It was super busy and our waitress did not miss a beat. The food was to die for! Most things are shareable making it much easier to order and try everything. Everything was 5 star worthy! If this review doesn't make it obvious enough drop everything and make a reservation now! Drinks- Seasonal unfortunately so you wouldn't be able to order it until maybe next Christmas season but it was delicious. Food- Chargrilled edamame Cellar fries Short rib bao buns Banana bread

This place has such a fun vibe! I came here for a birthday party on a Wednesday around 6:15 and it was pretty quiet. So if you don't like crowds, come early because this place fills up. The servers were very friendly. For a drink, I got the Pole Star and I loved it. I would recommend if you like lime and passion fruit. For meals, we had: Garlic Shrimp: absolutely delicious. I am definitely getting this again if I come back. Tuna Tartare: also another hit. I think this was my favorite. Really fresh and flavorful. Spicy Cornbread: loved it.

The bestttttttt food ever!!! Went there twice and ordered the pork belly bao buns and omggg! The best I've ever had ! Just go and try it out

Sooooo good. Super tasty, sooooo filling. Drinks are pretty strong and tested like it too. Music was loud af, could barely hear my friends speak. So many good menu items, will be back to try more. Service was slow though, but it's fineeeee

Came here for a work dinner and liked that everyone was able to try different items since all dishes were prepared for sharing. The cocktails were also well received by the table. The atmosphere was great and not so busy on a Tuesday night.

I came here on a first date and may I say I would definitely come back. We chose this place because we heard great things and decided to check it out. The set up was very interesting and not something I've seen too often at restaurants; it was very dark inside but the energy from the workers made the place seem live. To start, we ordered a few drinks (strong) and they were really good and then ordered the fries as the appetizer, which were amazing. Then, I ordered the avocado bowl as an entree.. wow it was so good and filling (I barely finished my plate). The pricing was very reasonable and the service was great. I'd definitely come back for a second outing.

I was excited to try this place because the reviews are great, but I was truly disappointed. Everything on the menu sounds amazing, but there are only 1 or 2 dishes that are good and the majority of the dishes were just so incredibly salty. For our appetizers, we got the Szechuan Cauliflower, Korean Style Wings (Maple Chipotle) & Salmon Tartar & Cripsy Rice. The wings were good and had a pretty unique flavor. The salmon tartar wasn't anything special and the szechuan cauliflower tasted good on the 1st few bites and then immediately got way too salty. For our mains, we got the Shrimp & Garlic and Drunken Chicken Noodles. The shrimp & garlic was probably the dish we enjoyed the most. The drunken noodles tasted and looked NOTHING like drunken noodles so not sure what was going on there. It was also sooo saucy/salty. I'm a huge sauce gal but I found myself wanting less sauce here which never happens. The crazy thing is that we took home the leftovers and added more carbs and it was STILL too salty. This is just one of those places that leaves you feely a little gross/unwell after all the sodium you just took in. The place is cute/aesthetic but the service was also whack. Our waitress gave us our dessert menu within 30 minutes of being seated and was checking if we wanted to order dessert when we didn't even receive our main dishes yet. Maybe an honest mistake, but it felt pretty disorganized.

My friend and I had this spot on our list for about 3 months before we finally got a chance to visit. So we were quite excited to experience it. Unfortunately, the food was quite sub par. The tofu bao buns, while an intriguing meal option were flavorless and boring. The fried tofu was unseasoned. The bland tofu paired with the bao buns (also simple and dull in flavor) were struggling. Even paired with the brown sauce and cabbage slaw, this entire dish was lame. While the appetizers were pretty tasty, the drinks were also a let down for the price. To be fair, the manager was nice enough to take the bao buns off our bill but unfortunately I will not be visiting any time soon.

Located in basement of a building with vibrant decor, asian inspired menu, tiki drinks and great vibe and ambience. Reservations are recommended as its gets pretty busy especially on weekends. We sat at the bar, ordered few drinks, corn bread, hummus as appetizers and Tofu bao buns as entree. Drinks were great and food was really tasty - service could be faster though. Definitely recommend this place if you are looking for tiki vibes with great food.

Bryant gave us perfect service and was very personable. we had some drinks after our concert at white eagle hall and had wonderful service thank you bryant!

Cellar 335 gave aesthetics - Tiki Bar meets a sultry, dimly lit lounge. The place was buzzing, the smells of food around us enchanting, and the look of the drinks super tempting. After an evening of drinking with friends, we went to Cellar 335 for a nice meal and a couple of cold beers. For food, we ordered: Spicy Cornbread (5/5) - want to dock a point (but won't) for it being a bit too small in size but we remediated by ordering extras. The fact that we wanted more of this is testament to how enjoyable this was. The cornbread itself could do with little lesser sweetness given the exquisite togarashi honey butter. Nonetheless, we ordered seconds, so we clearly enjoyed this. Drunken Chicken Noodle (4/5) - delicious, simple, clean. Nothing to fault, however, not memorable for me. Fried Chicken Bao (5/5) - soft baos, crispy fried chicken, pickled veggies - this is what a perfect shareable platter looks like. It could do with more of the sauce that the chicken was doused in but absolutely enjoyed this on a night of beers. Afterall, beers and fried chicken - match made in heaven. And for desserts, Passion fruit Panna Cotta (5/5) - subtle, elegant flavors in the panna cotta itself and the dollop of ice cream and coconut crunch on top. What is there to fault? Absolutely how delicious and a great finisher. Ube Cheesecake Cannoli (4/5) - +1 for the accompanying mango sorbet. On its own, the Ube Cheesecake Cannoli was average. The real hero here was the sorbet. Great service, great food, great drinks, great vibes.

What a great holiday experience!! We went during the Sleighs and Leighs pop up. What a fantastic time! The restaurant is decorated so nicely with lights and ornaments. The service was good and everyone was in their festive holiday shirts. The food was the best part! Delicious from the appetizer to the dinners and the holiday drinks are fun in the festive cups. The only downside to this restaurant is the parking situation, there is not a garage nearby and the streets are pretty packed. Don't let that steer you away from this place. Was a fantastic meal and experience.

The restaurant was so cool and they have excellent food option. Pretty decent and amazing with an asian dishes too. The place was cool and has a chill vibe. It also has a pretty romantic ambiance, perfect for romantic dinner. All the dishes were appetizing and has good quality. I like the Bao buns, short rib, and Spicy cornbread. It was well-cooked food and taste so delicious. Everything was worth the cost. The dessert was so good. Great service and great food here!

I've been waiting a couple of years to come here and I wasn't disappointed. As it was an early Tuesday evening the restaurant wasn't crowded and everything went pretty quickly (seating, ordering, etc). My friend and I shared some plates which were the large Crispy Pork Belly, Skirt Steak Bulgogi, Salmon Tartar and Spicy Cucumber Salad. Sharing is the best approach and tbh we could have easily handled a few more. None of the plates disappointed and the pork belly was the best! The only complaint you can have here is the restaurant can get loud based on where you're sitting (if you happen to be close to one of the speakers bumping out music).

Went her last night with my wife. We did have to wait over an hour but that's a given considering we went on a Friday night. Once we were seated we were quickly taken care of. We got our drinks in a timely fashion and the food as well. The ambiance of the place was very chill. They did have a DJ playing good music which made the vibes better. My wife and I got a few things. The Jolly Roger drink was okay. It does serve 2-4 people so if you're not trying to break the bank and order a lot of drinks then this is your go to. Now for the food. My wife and I wanted to get Shareable items to try a different variety of the options they provided. The shrimp and garlic is really good. The dipping bread is nice and toasty and the sauce wasn't overwhelming thankfully. The kimchi rice was good too. It had a hint of spice but nothing too bad thankfully. The maple chipotle wings were really good too. Also a hint of spice but again nothing too bad. The fries with cheese sauce and bacon was good too. The only thing about the bacon was that it was a bit too salty for my liking. The passion fruit Panna cotta was good too but wouldn't be something I get again. The passion fruit was too acidity for my liking. Overall, I would go back.

After going to Cellar 335 a few years ago, I knew I had to come back for their annual Sleighs and Leis, mid November through December. This tiki inspired restaurant is totally decked out for the holiday and was such a fun, festive date night. We they have a Christmas drink menu and most of their regular Asian inspired food. We ordered way too much food for two people, and I wish the waitress told us, but the leftovers were delicious. For appetizer we had edamame and cauliflower, then shared large format pork bao buns and beef lettuce wraps. All was full of flavor!

Had a great time here! The decor was very modern and sleek, yet with a tropical feel. It gets packed here so I suggest booking reservations, especially on the weekends. The drinks were fun, fruity and strong. Try the surfing lava if you want a smoky, berry and bold mix. The tropical princess was refreshing w/ pineapple flavors. My only suggestion would be to lessen the ice on the drinks. For appetizers we had the spicy cornbread and cellar fries. The cornbread was savory with a bit of kick. It's served in a small portion, good for one person. The cellar fries are wedge cut with cheesy goodness, bacon and scallions. The Korean style chicken wings were tangy, sweet and spicy. The Kimchi fried rice was perfectly spicy and loaded with flavor. The table's favorite item was unanimous...Crispy pork belly (1st place) and short rib bao buns were both savory and mouth watering. Service was great, our waiter kept checking in us if we needed anything, and refilling our water. I would definitely go back!!! Cons: - music too loud - street parking - too much ice on drinks

I visited on a Friday night with Fairweather so I assumed it would be difficult to get sad. To my surprise, I was able to be seated immediately. The service was wonderful and I was created by support staff before my server was able to come over. They were able to get me water while I looked over the menu. My server was very kind and helpful in recommending different items on the menu. I had the strawberry cocktail and it was delicious. My server made me aware of the specials, and so I enjoyed the burrata for a light starter. The fried chicken bao buns were amazing. The buns were soft, the chicken was crispy, the sauce was right, and the veggies added just the perfect crunch. This is a wonderful destination with a great atmosphere and very tasty food. While the menu may not offer unique or different selections than restaurants of the style, the selection here is more than satisfactory. A great restaurant for almost any occasion.

The food and ambiance here was incredible. The drink selection is very cool and you can't go wrong with any of it. Everything we ate was better than. The next dish. Can't say enough about how much we enjoyed the food here. The only challenge is parking.

Fantastic restaurant! The flavors were incredible, the portions were generous, and the staff was super friendly. I'll definitely be recommending this place to friends and family

Came here before a show at White Eagle Hall and the ambiance is cozy and cute. The bartenders are friendly and creative. Good cocktails and decent food, although the prices are a bit high. I ordered the Shipwreck cocktail, quite good, and a beef dish that was beautiful but not my favorite. I would love to try some of the other menu offerings, but half the items are large portions only for sharing. I would come back with some friends to try more.

This place has been on my list for a long time now, and I finally got the pleasure of trying it! The decor is super cute inside like a cool tiki hut. I started with the cannibal, tropics, which was strong, and so cute it even got set on fire! For appetizers, we tried the spicy cornbread, Chinese, broccoli, avocado, rice, and pepper beef. Wow, everything was exploding with flavor like the best fancy elevated Chinese food you will ever try! I can't even say which one was my favorite because they were all amazing. I then tried the fighting, five, which was super cute, and came inside of a skull! To end the meal, my friend begged me to get the Ube cannoli so we did, and I am so glad! It was super delicious. If you want a perfect date night in the Jersey City area, this is the place!

Amazing food and drinks and really cool tiki ambience. The food menu takes inspiration from Hawaii, India, the pacific islands and more. It was very busy on a Friday night and service was still quick and food came out fast. Amazing bao and tikka meatballs! My only issue was that it was so incredibly loud I could barely hear anyone at my table (we had a small 4 top)

This place was nicely decorated for the holidays and offered holiday drinks. Came with some friends on a Friday night and stood near the bar. The rum rum Rudolph was pretty great, and my friends enjoyed the frozen hot chocolate and son of a nutcracker. We also split the crispy tofu bao buns, which came with a nice sauce and slaw to put on top. The buns were nice and fluffy and made for the perfect snack. Would definitely come back here again.

I don't get why they have so many stars Service is good. I can see why they have more stars cus the service but food... it's okay Korean bbq ribeye: taste like galbi. Meat was fatty and juicy. Wouldn't mind getting this again but I could just go to kpot and do all you can eat and pay less and eat more galbi. Not sure it's worth it but it is good Chinese broccoli: good but nothing special Tuna tartare: okay. There was a tang to it but nothing like wow so good. I wouldn't get it again. I wanted to try the bao buns but the portion is too much Honestly wanted to order more food to try but glad we didn't. We are trying not to over order. Food isn't cheap but also not expensive but it adds up cus some of the dishes are tapas style...

Amazing experience! Second time there and can't wait to return. Ordered: - Oaxacan Drink for 2 (tasted v good and you could taste the mezcal yum) - Brussel Sprouts (amazing. must get every time) - Shishito Peppers with goat cheese (on special menu) - Cornbread (small portion but worth it) - Chicken Bao

Hello again everyone back again with another review. Quick backstory, I had this place on my "food list" for a few years but never went. Tried to a couple of times but they wouldn't seat us and that was cool. So I just made reservations so we won't get turned away again. Soon as I seen the Duck, I knew I had to get it. It was melt in your mouth tender and I enjoyed every minute of it. I think they're going for a Tikki bar I guess. I do want to go back and try the Bao buns.

If you coming to cellar you must try the edamame by far my favorite appetizer. I will literally come just for that The wings and meatballs are also a must try, the wings are crunchy and just enough sauce and the meatballs are tender and the sauce pairs very well. They recently added different steaks on the menu and it's legit just a piece of steak which needs more sauce. The best part of this place is the drinks they change them for every season and the staff they are super friendly.

I do not find myself in Jersey City often but when I do, I make sure that I eat well there. This is the only place I went on my last visit and I'm so glad I came here bc this place is fantastic. Loves: + Delicious food. My friend and I split the pork belly baos ($34) and the korean fried chicken wings in maple chipotle ($15) and both were so good. I can honestly dream about them. + Fun drinks. I got the Chocolate Banana Milkshake ($14) which I enjoyed, but I want to come back and try other standouts like the Surfing Lava (mezcal + guava) or the tiki derby (bourbon + rum + citrusy things). + The place is super popular so I would recommend a resy or doing a walk-in at the bar. For the latter, you will have better chances than you'd think on a weekend evening. Now if you need me to convince you of anything else, here are just some of the delicious-sounding items I would like to try on my next visit: spicy cornbread, honey glazed brussel sprouts, tiki masala chx meatballs, duck legs and scallion pancakes, and ube cannoli. OKAY I am already drooling. So see ya sooner than later, Cellar 335 x3

I was not expecting this place to be as big as it was on the inside considering I've only ever driven past it on Newark Avenue. I went on a Wednesday evening and we had a reservation for 4 at 8:00PM. When we got there, it was surprisingly larger of a space than we thought which was cool. The interior looks like a tiki bar but has the vibe of a speakeasy in Manhattan. The drinks were pretty good and some were stronger than others. We ordered the smoldering bastard and the tropical princess and both were pretty decent. In terms of food, we ordered the tuna tartare, avocado fried rice, fries and also some chicken bao. The food was good and were all basically shareable so that was good though some were bigger than the others. The price point for food was a bit high since they were more like tapas but it was still enjoyable for a group of 4 of us. We stayed until the end of the night when they closed at 10:00PM. I'm sure this place gets packed on the weekends so I guess a good time to go would be on a weekday night but just be sure to have a reservation.
