    A slick gelato spot in downtown Rahway serving up around 10 flavors plus espresso and coffee on the side. I had the banana dulce de leche. The actual banana flavor came through, which is rare and appreciated. The balance was spot on. It wasn't too fruity or too sweet. Only downside was the icy texture in the dulce de leche, which distracted from the gelato's creaminess. I knocked a star off because of that. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside, it's stylish and cozy. Gold spirals on the walls give it a touch of glam without being over the top. The vibe is calm and polished.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was efficient but not particularly warm. The staff member seemed focused, but a little friendliness would have elevated the visit. Street parking is metered and a bit tricky, but circling the block usually does the trick. Great spot for a quick sweet fix with some flair.

    Absolutely delicious gelato ! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a cute spot with a nice variety of flavors ![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The vanilla bean is absolutely delicious in a Afagoto ! Prices are a little high but worth the price !

    Daughter saw purple ice cream, well gelato and had to go inside. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Chocolate cones were a nice touch and the location itself was beautiful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was prompt, staff were naturally friendly. As for taste I haven't had much gelato to compare it to. Ube flavor was good not over powering or sweet. Lost a star for the value an espresso size cup for $7.20 (cash) was steep.

    Mix of blood orange and mango sorbets

    Oh my goshhhh!!! Just do yourself a favor and go here!! You want a delightful refreshing ice treat, this is the place! Was craving a chilling treat & came here with my bestie per her recommendation. Sooo good! Ordered a cup with part blood orange sorbet and part mango. Soo happy and wanted more. Next time, I will order the lemon sorbet! For coconut lovers, the coconut gelato is delish as well! Also, tried their gigantic triple chocolate cookie which was amazing!

    Ice Cream Sandwich

    Finally got the chance to try Wholly Cow and it did not disappoint. There are not many places that have REAL homemade gelato in Union County but Wholly Cow does! I got an ice cream sandwich. Dulce de Leche gelato sandwiched in between two soft homemade chocolate chip cookies. It was great. The selection on offer is also great as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside there is plenty of places to sit and it is open pretty late, 11:00pm, which is awesome.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Wholly cow this place is just that, literally. I was so surprised to find a hidden local gem that makes FRESH, REAL gelato. So real, I thought the pistachio gelato was mislabeled because it wasn't the color green! I got the pistachio and cookies and cream! So yummy! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was great and the shop was so cute![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It had touches of cow print all over which I loved![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend checking them out!

    This gelato shop was so good. It is perfect for an evening walk or an afternoon sweet tooth break. I had the chocolate chip cookie sandwich with vanilla bean, they were already premade and put right by the ice cream selection, the other option they had available was peanut butter cookie with strawberry jam gelato which sounded delish! The cookie remains soft, even with the hard ice cream in it. the cookie cost $6.75. There was only one gentleman working there but they just open recently so I'm sure they're just figuring things out to see how many customers they get. The place is so cute inside, the music and ambience were a vibe!! Check it out.

    Beautiful cosy clean place, i tried mint chocolate chips gelato small size but definitely enough. It's creamy & smooth, not sure if it's authentic but taste great .

The staff was also very friendly, which I appreciated. The food, however, didn't quite live up to the atmosphere. The fries and onion rings were clearly made to order,..fresh, hot, and well-prepared. I ordered the California burger, and although it was labeled as a steak burger, it was much closer to a steak-umm style patty than what I expected. The burger wasn't hot, the meat had a slightly weird smell, and it lacked seasoning. I think a little seasoning could have gone a long way, but unfortunately, it just wasn't there. The restaurant could also use a bit more attention to cleanliness, as others have mentioned in their reviews as well. The garbage was overflowing and some tables had crumbs, which was surprising considering it wasn't very busy and seemed fully staffed. Lots of of high top tables and booths. There's a couple of outside tables as well. Plenty of parking and a drive-thru! On a positive note, the custard was the highlight & definitely the best thing I tried. Prices were fair overall.

    1st time in Rahway and we stayed at the Watt Hotel it was late and we wanted a burger... this place…read morewas in literally a few doors down so we decided to stop by. For starters we had the shrimp tacos!!! $17 for 2 but worth every penny! And they were by far The best I've ever had!! Very fresh toppings and perfectly seasoned. And I loved the green sauce they topped it with. For dinner my husband and I split the $19 classic burger and substituted the fries for a Caesar salad. We also subbed the cheddar cheese for the smoked Gouda and omg chefs kiss!! Ordered it medium and It was cooked perfectly! For drinks we had a coke soda $3.50 and an uptown girl (lychee martini) $14 Both were good. The servers were really nice. The vibe was laid back. The volume of the music was perfect. The bathrooms were really clean. If ever in the area again I'd definitely come back!

I love their Caesar salad--it's consistently delicious and one of the main reasons I keep coming back. The service is always awesome, and the staff makes the experience even better. The ambiance of the place is also a big plus--great vibes all around, whether you're catching up with friends or just stopping by to unwind. It's a perfect spot for a quick happy hour. On top of that, I find their prices to be very fair for the quality you get. Overall, I would absolutely recommend, this place is a solid go-to and you won't be disappointed!

    After a team get together, I had the munchies. My coworker and I wanted to walk around the block,…read moreand I noticed this small sushi spot. I decided to satisfy my craving with seafood! It's located across of The 'World Famous' Waiting Room and La Chula Latin Fusion on E Cherry St in downtown Rahway. There's paid street parking and parking garages around the area. The shop was a very cute hole-in-the-wall restaurant. Upon entering, we were greeted by an older Asian chef making the rolls. I ordered their Rahway Roll with shrimp tempura for takeout, and it was amazing! The sauce was delicious, there wasn't an excessive amount of rice, and it had a generous amount of minced salmon and large shrimp, which I loved. The tempura was still very crunchy, even though it was takeout. It was just one roll to satisfy my craving, but it was really satisfying. Great prices, good food based on the one roll I had ordered. The next time I'm in Rahway, I will definitely keep this place in mind.

    Came here for a quick bite, the ambiance was quiet, wish the music was louder, but at first sight…read moreit's a clean and well maintained spot. They don't clean their bathrooms well though, I went in and found a dirty toilet that hasn't been flushed. In terms of the food, it was average sushi. I wish the rolls were bigger, and their ginger didn't taste very fresh. My favorite roll was their salmon and avocado roll with good salmon to avocado and even rice ratio. On the menu our 3 rolls combo came with a miso soup, but when we ordered another round they asked if we wanted the second soup. That wouldn't be a problem but if I pay for what is offered, regardless if I finish it or not, should be served because it was what I payed for. Very cheap of the establishment. My service was fine, but I did notice that a woman particularly treated costumers in a condescending way. Most likely a boss or manager (not a waitress), but as I watched her serve others behind the register, her tone was off and not your average costumer service act. Seems to be a pattern within reviews I've read. Food is okay, could fix their cleanliness and professionalism for sure.
