Meryendang Pinoy

Hands down one of the best Filipino spots I’ve been. The Lomi overload was really good and reminded me of what it tastes like back home and can be good for sharing as well. The Tocilog was good too, you can’t go wrong with their rice meals. The pork was cooked perfectly. For sweets, we got to try their ice scramble the original and ube and i enjoyed it a lot and just the right amount of sweetness. Same with the Filipino-style hotcakes so warm and delicious! Can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend if you’re craving Filipino food or first time trying it.

Meryenda Pinoy offers a delightful taste of Filipino comfort food in the heart of New Jersey City. Their halo-halo, lumpia, kiam and fishball are absolutely exquisite, each dish bursting with authentic flavors. The kiam is a must try, adding a savory twist to the menu. With its cozy ambiance, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy a casual meal with friends and family. Highly recommend for anyone craving a genuine Filipino dining experience.

This place is an absolute GEM and I’m so glad I found it. I tried the sweet cheese corn, the bananacue, and the kik-yum with sweet Manong sauce, and everything was insanely good. The sweet cheese corn was creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced, the bananacue was warm and caramelized just right, and the kik-yum was crispy with that sauce taking it to another level. You can tell the food is made with care and real flavor in mind. On top of that, the service was excellent , friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to help. This is one of those spots you try once and immediately want to tell everyone about. Easily a five-star experience and I’ll definitely be back.

Meryendang Pinoy is a hidden gem! Pancit guisado was fresh and packed with flavor. The tosilog was sweet and salty and tasted like my childhood breakfasts growing up. The lumpiang shangai was honestly probably the best I’ve ever had. It was so crispy and delicious. Can’t wait to be coming back here.

Meryendang Pinoy’s owners - husband and wife - Jhona and Josan- are such inspiring people! Not only is their food crafted with love and care - but their story of opening up their restaurant and building something for their family and also having events throughout the years with small businesses to show support —-I wish I can give them more than 5 stars! They are so hard-working and so happy to see a Filipino small businesses thriving! Thank you for the amazingly delicious Filipino food, the karaoke and great vibes and exceptional customer service! Definitely worth coming by and ordering from them!
