    Scallion Pancake Roll
    Prathika A.

    Tucked away in Jersey City you will find Cellar 335. As soon as you enter, you are greeted by a vibrant tiki bar. We were dinning at the restaurant. The restaurant was packed! I would highly recommend making a reservation on the weekends. The menu was interesting and covered several pan Asian classics. There were several interesting twists to classic dishes. We tried the short rib scallion pancake, drunken noodles, "tiki masala" meatballs and the crispy pork Baos. It was a lot of food and everything was delicious. The meatballs were twist on the chicken masala. If you like chicken tikka masala, this one is for you. The scallion pancake was more of a wrap. The meat was very well charred. The Bao was great for sharing. The crispy pork was delicious. The drunken noodles were perfectly stir fried. We tried a few of their tiki drinks and they did not disappoint. They have larger shareable drinks they set on fire and make for great fun videos.

    I went to Cellar 335 years ago and finally made it back around the holidays and honestly it was just as amazing as we remembered.. if not better. The energy in this place is unmatched. From the second you walk in you're surrounded by vibrant lights, festive decor and a cozy but lively atmosphere that feels like a year round party. Their holiday themed cocktails were not only super cute but so delicious. Each drink came out in an adorable mug and the garnishes were over the top in the best way. The bar staff and manager were so friendly and helpful and gave really spectacular recommendations. The food was also incredible. Everything we ordered was packed with flavor and beautifully plated. We tried a mix of small bites and entrees from the crispy edamame to the flavorful tikka meatballs and that show stopping flaming punch bowl at the bar. Nothing was left to take home.

    Cool spot on the far end of Newark. Vibe was fun, music a bit too loud for a conversation with a large group. We enjoyed everything we had, although the fried rice could have used some heat to it. The cocktails were excellent. Service was the only reason they did not get 5 stars. It was just bad service. Slow. Inattentive.

    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!

    We had an incredible date night at Cellar 335, an underground tiki cocktail lounge in Jersey City. Chef Jamie Knott's restaurant has consistently been recognized for its exceptional drinks and food, earning it a spot on NJ Monthly's top restaurant list on numerous occasions. The atmosphere is lively and fun, and the drinks are absolutely fire--literally! The food is also incredibly creative and delicious, especially the fried chicken bao buns that we still can't stop thinking about. Cellar 335 needs be on YOUR top restaurant list, and it's the perfect place for a fun and delicious night out. Thank you to Axel, Leah, and the entire team for taking such excellent care of us.

    Spicy Kimchi Fried Rice
    Will A.

    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!

    Smoldering Bastard, Gin-Gle All The Way
    Kylie N.

    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.

    Short Rib Bao Down (~$38)
    Aya E.

    Ordered: Smoldering Bastard (~$17): ginger, passion fruit, lime, rye, rum Spicy Cornbread (~$6): smoked cheddar, honey-togarashi butter Charred Edamame (~$13): soy, shallots, lime, and salt Cucumber Salad (~$13): chili crisp, peanuts, sesame dressing Grilled Chicken Satay (~$16): with spicy peanut sauce Korean-Style Wings (~$17): 6pc garlic soy Avocado Fried Rice (~$17) with Shrimp (+$8): Napa cabbage, sesame, soy, removed egg Pepper Beef (~$26): filet mignon in spicy peppercorn sauce Short Rib Bao Down (~$38): bao buns with house-made pickled vegetables and spicy mayo Ube Cannolis (~$12): cheesecake cannoli with ube and mango sorbet Aya's take: Cellar 335 is a tiki bar that's elevated and slightly upscale making this a great spot for a night out with friends or even a date night. We had a Wednesday evening reservation but they weren't busy at all. I started off with the Smoldering Bastard which was light, fruity, and not too sweet. While we each ordered our drinks, our waiter described what it would taste like which helped a lot considering they have a lot of unique drinks and flavor profiles. As for the appetizers, the highlights were the Charred Edamame and Grilled Chicken Satay. The Charred Edamame was unbelievably addicting and I have never seen edamame offered like this at a restaurant - highly recommend getting it for the table. For entrees, the must order is the Short Rib Bao Down. The bao buns are nice and pillowy, the short rib was super tender and the flavors were a beautiful sweet/savory balance. I loved all the toppings it came with and the spicy mayo took each bite to the next level. The Avocado Fried Rice was a good try and nice to get if you want a carb on the table to go with other protein dishes. We ended off on the Ube Cannolis which were sweet, creamy, but light on ube flavor. A unique dessert nonetheless. Solid dinner experience at Cellar 335; worth trying if you're in the JC area.

    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.

    such a fun restaurant!!! came here for my birthday dinner and it did not disappoint. drinks were strong and came in fun glasses. our table had 4 people and we ordered the spicy cornbread, kimchi fried rice, korean style wings w maple chipotle, tiki masala meatballs, tuna tartare, and the short rib bao buns. the only disappointing things were the spicy cornbread (it was tiny) and the tiki masala meatballs. while the meatballs were great, everything else was so amazing that i would not order them again so i could have more of the rest! the kimchi fried rice had so much flavor with the pulled pork. the wings w maple chipotle had the perfect light crunch and slight spice. the tuna tartare tasted very fresh. the short rib bao buns were perfection. the meat pulled apart perfectly and the sauces added a lot of flavor. clearly we enjoyed the meal because i stopped taking pictures after the first course (wings) came out. the vibe was great. the tiki atmosphere was very fun. it was pretty loud so keep that in mind when deciding who to come here with. our waitress was very nice and helped us pick dishes.

    Smoldering Bastard
    Viviana Z.

    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!

    Korean wings, pork knuckle with bao, drunken noodle, and salmon tartare on crispy rice
    Simon C.

    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.

    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.

    Ask the Community - Cellar 335

    Can you keep the cups/mugs the alcohol is served in?

    There are one or two available for purchase. The unique house mug has a name. "Big Poppa" and was produced by a tiki mug company called "Tiki Farm."

    Do they have dj music playing? Is this good for a group of 20 for a holiday party?

    No dj music playing. Sophistocated conversation level music playing in the background. It is set up to accommodate large groups for a party but you'd definitely need a reservation for that as they may choose a slow night to host you.

    Do you still have outdoor seating?

    We no longer have outdoor dining

    Is there a maximum number of guests allowed for a dinner party?

    Due to capacity limitations by the state, we currently accept groups of four and smaller.

    Do they offer takeout cocktails? Would I be able to order them for delivery via a delivery app (ex. DoorDash)?

    Sorry I missed your question. Yes you can order our cocktails through Grubhub!

    Have they stopped doing outdoor dining now that indoor is allowed in NJ? All the open reservations are for indoor dining only.

    Indoor dining will continue till the weather dictates a different scenario. Reservations are for the dining room only. The outside patio and bar area will be served on a first come first serve basis. We hope you dine with us soon!

    Is this a kid friendly environment? Can I have dinner with my husband and 2 girls?

    Not a kid friendly place

    Is this a good place for a birthday party?

    I think it would! It's tapas style which would be fun with a larger group.

    Do they sell tiki mugs?

    We sell our one of a kind house mug. It is our design and you cannot purchase it anywhere else! His name is Big Pappa! He is made by Tiki Farm, and costs $30.

    Do they have happy hour?

    Happy hour is Tuesday through Friday 5pm till 7pm!

    Do I need to make reservations before or walk in?

    It is highly recommended to make a reservation, especially on weekends. We book up fast so get ahead of the game if you can. You can book at www.resy.com

    Do they take reservations on the weekend?

    Reservations are taken Tuesday through Saturday. You can book online at www.resy.com

    Can the menu be changed to accommodate vegans?

    Not sure but they were super accommodating to my sesame and nut allergy

    Hi - do you take reservations on a Sunday night?

    Aloha! I'm sorry, we are currently not open on Sundays. We are open Tuesday - Saturday evenings.… Read more

    Can the menu be changed to accommodate vegetarians?

    Aloha! Our menu can be super vegetarian friendly. I would say about 25% is already vegetarian friendly. With some minor adjustments I would say over 50% can become vegetarian. We would love to accommodate any restrictions just let your server… Read more

    4/5/26: Came to the Feathered Fox for Easter Brunch. A lot…read moreof folks know "The Feathered Fox" under the name "Maritime Parc" (MP now operates for Special Events). My prior reviews are under MP. When we first came into the Feathered Fox, the atmosphere appeared to have a much more sexy deeper color vibe, than previous years. Today, Damian was our wonderful server. Here it begins with Cocktails! 18.00 each: - Friend in the Meadow w/ Titos (Birdie glass with feathers). It had a lovely, welcoming and enjoyable sweetness. - Pineapple Grill with Casamigos Meczal. Tasted exactly like a mildly grilled sweet pineapple with suddenly a Kick! Entree Time! I ordered the Wagyu Steak and Scrambled Eggs $38.00. The steak was off the charts delicious. A side of lightly seasoned Foxy Fries accompanied the meal. All the items were prepared and seasoned beautifully. My Bf ordered the French Toast $19.00. It was made out of Chocolate Babka with maple infused syrup. He really enjoyed it. Dessert Finale! We shared a super delicious Lemon Olive Oil Cake $14.00. Toasted Meringue topped the cake. The cake was dense, but still moist and Very Lemony. Highly Recommend!!!! All throughout our meal, someone was coming around filling our water glasses. Definitely recommend The Feathered Fox! A large parking lot is available.

    TLDR: Haven't rated anything on Yelp for a while, but the Feathered Fox deserves a shout-out…read more Highly recommend to try. Great food portions and price, ambiance and service. Would rate an overall solid 4.5 but since not available gets a 5 . We can't wait to go back with family/friends or just by ourselves to try the porterhouse next. Got diverted to Jersey City while searching for a restaurant for anniversary date night and ran across the Feathered Fox, and we were blown away. Damian did a great job taking care of us all night , and manager checked-in on our dining experience which was appreciated. Great in house signature cocktail selection. We loved every drink we had. Had the calamari for a starter. Too much breading for our paritcular taste, but can stand alone without the dipping sauce. Overall 7/10. We ordered the Ribeye which was the star of the show 10/10. Perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, absolutely delicious. We ordered sauces to go with the steak but did not need it at all. Also ordered: * Scallops - Good sized scallops. We would have preferred a better sear, but was still good. Comes on a bed of delicious leeks and spaetzle. * Sides of mushrooms and Brussels sprouts. Desserts were delicious. Ordered the black out cake, scoop of apple cider, and to-go carrot cake.

    Meximodo major positives: ambiance, lighting, decor, and vibes…read more The service was lacking BUT I did go on Cinco de Mayo so I'm NOT going to harp on them too much for it. It's a busy day. Though we had long waits, everyone was still kind and helpful. Food wise, Meximodo is truthfully mid. I ordered the enchiladas and the red sauce that came with it was uninspiring. The tacos were better. The pricing at Meximodo is wild for the flavors and portions you get. Yeah the taco board looks a lot, but that's 9 tacos and a side of your choice for $59. You come to Meximodo for a fun pre-game before a night out with your friends or for a first date.

    Don't let the 5 star reviews convince you otherwise, Meximodo is just mid, across the board…read more Cool decor and vibe, but that's where the good review ends. Been three times, hoping it'll improve but simply not the case. For the price ($130 for two adults and a child, no alcohol), you'd expect a decent meal. Tacos consistently lack flavor, the apps have always missed. Tonight, was excited to try the mole chicken "poppers" - it was just 6-7 soggy cooked chicken bites drenched in a mole sauce with ranch dressing, that's it. Also, $14 for kids menu items I feel like is a bit of a price gouge and almost none of the rest of the menu is a generally good fit for a toddler. So sharing family style not an option. Half a dozen hostesses standing behind the desk when you walk in and it still takes a minute or two to even be acknowledged, even when you're standing right in front, and another few minutes (every time) to get seated, no matter when your reservation was for. There's just nothing special about it - tries to be high end, but doesn't execute on the food or service. I've left unimpressed wondering why I've come back every time. Think it's time to call it quits.

I am very…read morehappy to live nearby but sad that I don't make it out for cocktails very frequently these days. All of the cocktails I tried were fantastic, and I love how the menu is updated between my visits. This recent visit I tried the eggnog with mezcal (very interesting) and the martini number 4. Very different vibes in terms of drinks, but both were tasty and I am looking forward to my next visit.

Opened since early 2024, we've walked by this place numerous times but usually it was earlier in the day before they opened, and we simply never made it back any time after 4:00pm. This time, we made a concerted effort to check them out. Was the wait to climb this alps to enjoy some libations worth it!? PURCHASE Snack Mix ($5.00): A mix of peanuts, Fritos, Chex, and a secret sauce (no sauce on this visit), this was a fun way to absorb the alcohol and kept our mouth dry which led to more drinking - bravo! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=p_ZAYlA9pLX-aMTdWqFVCQ Leaping Langosta Cocktail ($16.00): Crafted with mezcal, mango liqueur, Thai tea, honey, and lime, it was a fruity smoky sweet elixir that deserved to be sipped - yummy! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=t8gu0ZMjPsusQTYzyiZ9VA The Alps Martini Cocktail ($16.00): A classic and simple cocktail with a hint of citrus, this was refreshing. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=9avrUyAQ_gN6VfuiYtWl8g Cheese Plate ($24.00): A rotating selection of cheeses, olive oil crackers, pickled vegetables, nuts, etc., this was a menagerie of finger snacks probably better paired with wines than beer and cocktails, the blue cheese was really potent, but we liked the variety. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=S0NfvN9DYqm0jEMf336WMA Tuesday Night Special - Secret Wine Tasting (COMP): This was a fun promotion where you won a bottle of the secret wine if you were able to identify the varietal and region. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=ci5zDoMHkEZL-Z-pgVsfVw Pipeworks Brewing Co. Lizard King Pale Ale Beer 16floz Draft ($9.00): Bold amber color, citrusy fruity hoppy tropical aroma, light body, citrusy fruity hoppy tropical flavors, smooth finish, and citrusy hoppy tropical aftertaste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=QvcUswXrwsx8YXAfHWUuog SERVICE We strolled in as the only customers at the time, grabbed a couple of stools at the bar, and were warmly greeted by the young gentleman (Adam) behind the bar who took care of us the entire time as the place slowly filled up. All of our orders arrived quickly enough as we watched him craft our cocktails with care. Sadly, this night the kitchen wasn't fully working, so nothing cooked. Being the sole employee at this time, he did an awesome job - thank you! PARKING (FREE; N/A this instance) This was a moot point since I walked the flat 10-minute distance. No parking lots in sight, there seemed to be plenty of spots along the main drag of Palisade Ave. and all surrounding side streets - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A welcoming cocktail bar https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=8y2L7pqcuAvZUlE53CxiGA with a friendly front area while there was a more private loungy living room https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=XJYlUcTQf6QG3Dg8jFYgIQ back area. You went from sophistication to 60's man-cave. Very good natural lighting came through the front windows while electric ceiling lights filled in the rest (the back room was dark). There were no TVs while low-tempo music played in the background. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL The Alps was a chill evening out as we enjoyed tasty craft cocktails, craft beer, snacks that tied us over (we were disappointed that the kitchen wasn't functional as it deprived us from a full experience), and exceptional service. The prices were a tad elevated, the kitchen menu https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=qQ0avaTEtrONyz7nSbP_2A was extremely limited, the beers https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=jigldaXx2eXCa3724iY9uQ and house cocktails https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=DJGR-7Dzu-gIgp_VvAF6Jw menus were decent, and their spirits menu was off the chart. Plus, I always preferred to support small mom & pop businesses. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $75.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS
