Reviews for Touch the Heart in Hoboken, NJ
I liked the design and how fancy this place was, but I didn't like the food. I love east Asian cuisine and I'm not very peaky... with the taste, but the dishes weren't very good, they made the dishes very Americanized and not in a good way! Also the foodmade me sick, I don't want to go into details but I would have preferred not to eat it than... I might try their brunch option,looked really fancy, and update this review but for now I don't recommend this place at all. Read more
The decor is lovely, Aesthetically pleasing for sure! We came in on a whim, we’re just spending Sunday morning cruising around... Hoboken, I seen baos and stopped in. Our server (Christian C.) was pleasant, super chill. However, his coworker(Christina) did afew things that ultimately led to us to never return and the sad part is, the food was yummy!! She was very loudly complainingabout other employees and she also brought out two orders of hot honey chicken to our table looked at both of them and gave usthe ones that looked more sloppily thrown together. Being the only brown people there, I automatically felt like it’s becauseshe thought we didn’t deserve the same experience. No worries though, we are, paid, tipped, and left. Read more
Appetizers were so good!!! But the dan dan noodles lacked flavor. The menu said it would be spicy, but there was no spice at all... :( Read more
We visited recently and loved the food. The chicken and waffle dumplings were delicious and so were the bao. The brunch tower... was impressive. A real great addition to the Hoboken dining scene! Read more
This place is fantastic!! We hosted my sister’s baby shower here and had the whole place to ourselves which was wonderful. It... is BYOB but their mocktails are so so good and you can always bring your own alcohol to make it a cocktail. All of the food wasincredible: ham egg and cheese bao buns, lox and cream cheese tea sandwiches, French toast, dumplings… all amazing! Highlyrecommend for any meal or an event! Read more
Very nice staff, the food is ready super fast & it's very tasty. It's a fusion between American & thai style from what I... tasted. Lot's of greens & ginger notes. I ordered the brunch omelette with sausage on the side, it was very flavourful ,and theportion is more than enough . Read more
A unique cuisine restaurant to try if you’re ever in Hoboken. The food comes in a well balanced portion and is tasty as it... sounds. If you’re a fan of buns as your appetizer try the hot honey chicken with kimchi on a bun it is very good! The Americanmix with Asian cuisine was a bit different but worth a try! Read more
I'll start by saying the ambiance and food at Touch the Heart is very very good. The whole vibe walking into the restaurant is... calming with beautiful greenery - a very well thought out plan. I booked a reservation weeks in advance since I had friendstraveling from out of state. I always recommend making reservations to guarantee yourself a table. We ordered the brunch towerchoosing the Lox, Pear/Prosciutto, and Bacon/Avocado sandwiches, Chicken and Waffle Dumplings, and one of each danish. As a sideorder, we also ordered the Hot Honey Chicken Bao. Out of all of the tea sandwiches, everyone loved the Lox the most! The Chickenand Waffle Dumplings were served with syrup. They weren't my most favorite as I just didn't get the full flavors of atraditional Chicken and Waffle dish but I appreciated the concept. The Bao was very good - I would order that again! BYOB, nocorkage fee as well! $10 a jar for orange juice which was plenty for 2 bottles of champagne to serve 5 people. I recommend doingthe jar as it is cheaper than $4 per glass/person. On the downside, I wish, upon making the reservation, that I was informed ababy shower would be taking place inside the restaurant at the same time as my brunch. When we first sat down, everyone wassetting up using an indoor helium machine to show up several balloons. It was so loud and distracting. There was a member of theparty that was very upset with the chef/service and was yelling at the servers (which I do not condone) but the servers did notask the woman to speak privately outside or take her in the back. I couldn't help but look/eavesdrop as she was very loud and ittotally killed the vibe of our brunch. I think the whole situation could have been handled by staff in a more professional way,especially to the tables that were there outside of the baby shower. There was only 2 servers for regular patrons as well as theparty so service could have been better but we were respectful of the situation that was unfold Read more
