Avenue Grill & Sushi — Restaurant in Elizabeth

KOSHER/FRAUD WARNING!!! I have IBS and are not allowed to eat any complex saturated fats aka animal fats. Stopped by here and asked for vegetable options and they suggested the split pea soup. Halfway along the soup, I spit out a piece of chicken. To my horror, I mixed the soup around and found a couple more bits of thinly shredded chicken.

I told him I would come back and pay the next day (which I did), but he was so super sweet about the whole situation. It was a tough night, and his kindness really made my evening. I will find out his name next time I go in and give a...

Great place if you are in the area. Fast and fresh. I was there at 7pm and I was the only one there, more indicative of location. Did not like the run down Neighboorhood or block. Staff was friendly and courteous and food was good and inexpensive. — I’m updating my review to 2024 without editing the original. This is a 4 star kosher restaurant because the food is very well prepared, it’s fresh, the service is fast and friendly and knowledgeable and the food area is dated hut clean. The neighborhood and neighbors aren’t the best and the back of the restaurant is somewhat dated but on a Sunday night in August they were full with locals and travelers like us. We really enjoyed our dinner, from taste to speed to...
