Pamela L.

A superhero needs to come and save these sandwiches. K-Town Hero is one of the newest stalls to open next to H Mart inside the 2nd largest mall in America. With so many food options my sister wanted to try this place. The sandwiches are created by a Michelin Korean chef, Hooni Kim. All I can say is that both my sister and I were very disappointed. My sister got their popular bulgogi and I opted for their mushroom. Our assessment of the sandwiches is a 4/10. We didn't care for the slightly spicy orange dressing on the sandwiches. There were two types of mushrooms in mine. I was surprised that they used huge button mushrooms. Sure it's meaty but button mushrooms usually lack flavor. Come on, Chef Kim, I expected shiitake instead. My sister let me have some of her kimchi fries. I tried one and didn't want anymore. And this is coming from a huge French fry kind of gal. Don't understand the rave reviews.

Are these the nicest guys in NJ? Is the bread here going to take your sandwich to the next few…read morelevels? Is the pepperoni a perfect chalice of grease and flavor? Yes, yes, yes! This is a classic deli, walls full of tomatoes, pasta, family photos, and citizen of the year awards. (It only takes one interaction to understand why.) you can sit outside in nice weather, but the chit chat inside makes you feel especially welcome. My only regret is we forgot to get cannolis on the way out. (Probably because the portions are huge.) Not far off the highway so you can keep dad feeling like we're still making good time. We'll be back on our next Northeast haul.

I ordered the buffalo wings, garlic knots, a small cheese pizza with vodka sauce instead of marinara & mushrooms, and a cannoli. The wings were not Buffalo, they were a mix between Buffalo and bbq. If I had known, would not have ordered. Did not like the bbq sauce flavor. I also asked for ranch as I despise bleu cheese but alas, I did not get ranch and had to eat my wings plain. Garlic knots were perfect. The pizza tho. Ugh, it was so bad. They made a cheese mushroom pizza with way too much cheese and then put the vodka sauce on top after!!! Like a drunken grandma pie. That's not what I wanted. I asked for, "a cheese pizza with vodka sauce." It was so soggy that it soaked through the bottom of the box. Stayed soggy even after reheating in the oven. I ate half a slice and tossed the rest sadly. I won't be ordering from here again. The cannoli was fine but wouldn't order again either. The only thing I would eat again is the garlic knots. Very disappointing for Jersey pizza.

We finally made it this past weekend to Vinnie's Mootz for one of their special tasting menu…read morenights, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. If you're expecting a typical dinner, think again. The tasting menu featured around 12 courses, and by course ten I was completely full--but somehow still excited for what was coming next. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, packed with flavor and very tasty. For me the standout of the night was the very first dish which was Vinnie's homemade mozzarella with tomatoes, which was so good that we even bought some fresh mozzarella to take home. The meatballs were also outstanding, and the steak and eggplant course was another highlight. After all that food, finishing with a cannoli just felt like the perfect ending. The atmosphere is casual and inviting, but the food is every bit as good as what you'd find at restaurants that cost a lot more. Live guitar music throughout the evening added to the experience created a nice vibe. My only suggestion would be maybe to turn it down a notch or two as it was a little hard to hear others at our table. Still a very nice touch though and all songs you would know. I always like it when a chef comes out of the kitchen, especially at a tasting menu, and Vinnie came out several times to chat with guests which was very nice. It just added a personal touch and showed how much pride goes into both the food and the overall experience and we got to hear his back story. This tasting menu is an incredible value and a great way to try dishes you might not normally order. Just remember to come hungry--and maybe skip lunch beforehand. If you can get a reservation for one of these tasting nights, don't hesitate.

Has classy but laid back style and energy. Staff are all very kind and service is definitely on point. Experience was great from beginning to the end. Of course the star of this show was the food. I got to try the special which was Ribeye grilled cheese sandwich on sourdough bread with house made gravy. It was amazing! Hat goes off to the chef, this was a great creation. Would try this again without a doubt. I also tried the Beef Rib Ragu pasta dish on their regular menu which was amazing as well. Looking forward to trying other items here on the menu. Can't forget I also ordered a cappuccino which was also delicious. Was not disappointed by anything during this entire experience. Great vibes, great staff, and great food!

The only thing they responded to was the bell coming from the kitchen. The menu was enticing. Lot of good things on it including the daily specials. I ordered the Arincini which was beautifully presented but were only mildly warmish with some cold spots mixed in. Disappointing. For entree I ordered the spaghetti alla carbonara. It was once again not served hot but was somewhat warmer than the arinicini but not by much. They could step up their game and brew their own ice tea instead of serving bottled ice tea. It's pretty easy to make ice teas with various flavors. Was a cute place, tables a little close together but was clean, nice lighting and decor. As a customer I would have expected more attention to our glasses, check on how the food was occasionally.

The half size sandwich I got was like a foot long & this man loaded that sandwich with so much turkey I was wide eyed when I looked over as my sandwich was being made lol. The prices are reasonable for the amount of sandwich you get which is important to me because I'm student. The bread was soft & everything was fresh. I will be returning. I also met the owner Chris who was the one that made my sandwich. He was very friendly & gave me recommendations. We started chatting & he mentioned that it was him & his dads dream to own a deli but unfortunately his dad passed. I asked how the business was going & he was telling me how he always tries to keep the prices fair for his customers even though everything is getting more expensive these past few years. I appreciate that intention & effort in his business! Go visit this little place.

Local delis are rare these days but this little place made my day. Clean and neat overall. Selections are more geared for breakfast but they have the basics for a good deli sandwich. Bread was fresh and the perfect chewy doughy Italian bread you want for a deli sandwich. They have Boars Head brand cold cuts and they slice to order. The owner was super friendly and we had a few laughs as he shared about why he had started the biz. The two local crossing guards were hanging having a cup of coffee before heading to their corners. The pricing was worth the sandwich. I was very pleased with the service and sandwich. Looking forward to stopping in again soon.
