Read moreYubi is a very special place, the Owner Yubi is a master chef and cares for his clients and you can tell from the quality and artistry of the food and attentive high class service. Nice intimate space, very chill vibe.
The portions are generous and prices are very reasonable. If this restaurant was in Downtown Jersey City, it cost 20-30% more.
Location is great because it's has plenty of street parking, walkable to the path station, or take the number 80 bus from downtown in just under 15mins to get here.
