CELLAR 335, Jersey City

15 Cellar 335 Jersey City, NJ

Cellar 335, with its sleek, eclectic Tiki-bar atmosphere and menu full of small plates, is the premiere spot for sharing Asian-American food while sipping on creative cocktails. Each menu item is just as delicious as the next, so you may find yourself wanting to order (at least) one of everything. When narrowing down your choices, don’t skip over the Maple-Chipotle and Lime-Soy Korean Style Wings (especially the lime-soy); the Avocado Fried Rice with Napa cabbage, egg, sesame and soy; or the Drunken Chicken Noodles with broccoli, tomato, lo-mein, chili and lime. If you prefer seafood or want a side of vegetables, you’ll want to go for the Shrimp & Garlic in white wine, lemon and basil served with a baguette or the Chinese Broccoli with garlic, ginger, soy and sesame. As for drinks, the Smouldering Bastard is a fan-favorite, but you’ll enjoy the Treasure Trove if you have more of a sweet tooth. Either way, they’ll be served in fun tiki cups with a mini umbrella on top and make you feel like you’ve been whisked away to an exotic island. My advice: If you’re looking for a classic Moscow Mule and can’t find it on the drinks list, try ordering the Graft Birds of Paradise Cider. Price: $$$
