Smorgasburg Jersey City

Overall a great concept to have a whole bunch of vendors to try all the different food but all the foods were very pricey. I came on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't crowded until we left at around 4pm. Me and my friends walked around each vendor to get a glimpse of what each one had. We decided to get duck poutine fries from duck season which costed around $18. My friend recommended me to get it but I was disappointed. My food came out cold which did not make it taste as good as my friend had it in the Brooklyn smorgasborg. It felt like the fries had been sitting there for a while and the fries on the bottom were small pieces of fries like the leftover bits. As for the cheese curds, it wasn't what I was expecting. It just tastes like room temperatured blocks of cheese. After that we went to try the skewers and it was pretty good. We got the 5 pc lamb and chicken skewers. The bits of salt on the skewer gave it a burst of flavor. I would recommend trying these skewers, plus they aren't bad for the price. Each piece of skewer had a good portion of meat on it. I would overall not come back but it was a good one time experience.

This place has a bunch of options and is definitely worth going to on a day with good weather. The duck vendors are amazing I had the loaded duck fries and wow you have to try it. The margaritas at the outdoor bar are literally the best margaritas and I had the passion fruit and the strawberry ones but the passion fruit one was my favorite.

Less vendors and less crowded than in Williamsburg, which I prefer. Immediately we headed for the Filipino Street Foods: So Sarap(So Delicious) and got the Taho and fishballs skewers. The former was the softest and silkiest Tofu you 'll ever have, made sweet by a brown sugar syrup and served warm with tapioca pearls. Growing up in the Philippines, vendors walked the streets, carrying a strong long bamboo on their shoulders where warm pails of stainless steel hang at both ends, containing Taho in one, and the sweet syrup and tapioca pearls on the other. They would yell, Tahoooo! and kids with their moms and aunts would emerge from their houses carrying their own bowls to be filled up. I love taho and So Sarap recreated this well-loved breakfast treat in a modern way that was both comforting and aesthetically pleasing. Their skewered fishballs were also good and the sauces stayed true to the taste I remembered back in the days. So yeah, So Sarap just brought it home for me from Quezon City to Jersey City. FilRo 's Halo Halo Redefined- impressed us in the clever way of packaging this sweet merienda frozen and meant to thaw in a few minutes. Though it took longer, it was still delicious and perfect for that scorching summer heat. Then there was Oh K-Dog- I got the half hot dog/ half mozzarella with sweet potato toppings. Carbs over carbs and I don 't care, because maybe I earned it.

A great, unique variety of food in one location! Super cute set up and such a fun thing to do on a date or with a group of friends. I would say the food is quite expensive for the portion size. Additionally the food isn't out of this world good for the price. It's average food for a higher cost. But definitely worth a try!

I love the concept of having various vendors near the riverfront, it’s a fun summery treat! What amazed me were the prices, they were way off the roof for the quantity of food on the plate. When 4 people end up spending over 150$ when trying out small portions of local vendor food (without liquor) it makes me nervous. We could have grabbed a cozy NYC restaurant dinner along with drinks for that kind of spend.A Guyanese stall was selling coconuts for 12$ each, they’ve not mentioned the prices so you’d think they are cheap but alas! We got 10 Tandoori momo’s (Indian) for 22$, 6 bao’s for 12$. That being said, the food was fresh and tasty. There’s also plenty of seating towards Smoragsbar, which is their bar section and has plenty of great drinks! Definitely move there or towards the waterfront to get under the shade because seating is limited in the actual area.It was a good one time experience but I will not go back unless they make street food priced like street food.
