My buddy was visiting, and we wanted to eat at a strictly kosher place. We ended up trying Yapchik. It's located on Route 9, closer to the Howell border.
Yapchik is cafeteria style and/or fast casual, although they do have a special events room on the side. You order at the counter, and they give you a buzzer. When your order is ready, the buzzer goes off, and you pick your food up from the counter.
The workers were all really nice. The food was just meh. My friend's Schnitzel, he said, was too greasy. I got a salad, and it was too mushy and just not crisp. The ingredients just didn't seem to go together, and the dressing just seemed to be plain mayonnaise. They have boxes of side salads and items to go.
The other patrons seemed nice, too. Overall, it was a decent experience. But I would maybe try one of the other kosher restaurants in Lakewood next time.
