Reviews for The Lab Restaurant/Take-Out in Kenilworth, NJ
Thus place was delicious. 1st time and cant wait to go back again. The mac and cheese sandwich could use some extra cheese... because, you know, Mac and cheese. The fries were a soggy and a little too salty. The Ramen was a home run. Very delicious andfavorable, plus they give extra broth for round 2. Best thing of the night. The lemonade wasn't sweet either which was the bestto me. They have a variety of good things on the menu and can't wait to go back Read more
I wish I had taken photos, however I had the pleasure of trying both the Crispy Chicken sandwich & The Jerk Dr. (which was like... pulled jerk meat on a bun) this past week while the Lab catered for a place I was temporarily working. I gave their card tofamily who live in the area & told my mom we need to go there ourselves because it was flavorful and filling. Read more
We booked the Lab Food Truck for our baby shower and I have to say our experience was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! We reached out very... last minute and G responded with a ?yes we can do it? without hesitation. Within the next week and half we worked out thedetails and they were very flexible with our schedule. They arrived 30 mins early to set up and right on time our guest began toorder. We had roughly 45 guests at the baby shower and I kid you not I heard compliments about the food from at least 25 of themwithin the first 15 mins. The portions were huge and the food was amazing! I personally had the Short Rib tacos and The Dr. asmy meal and I have to say for a southern boy that has had plenty of BBQ, that possibly could have been the best bbq sandwich Ihave ever had. My wife had the Bahn Mi and she was very impressed, even when she warmed up the rest later on that night. Theyalso had a vegan option on the menu so they cater to all. I could go on about the food, only good reviews from all guests but Ihave to say the service and hospitality was even better. If you are having ANY event this food truck is the way to go! I willalso add we had 3 trucks in mind for the event and they were the least expensive and had the bigger menu. I promise you won?tregret it. Read more
I always pass this place and finally ordered through Grubhub for pickup. What drew me in was the unique choices on the menu and... the VEGETARIAN OPTIONS! My order was hot when I picked it up (it was ready pretty quickly!) and handed over to me by one of theowners, who was super sweet. The Jackfruit Melt that I ordered was DELICIOUS and flavorful, and the fries were amazing. I willdefinitely be coming back and ordering again, and recommending the spot to others! Read more
First timer: For what it is and it?s uniqueness it is definitely up there in terms of creativity. Although, the market is... saturated with these ?hip? places but for the price point, location and food quality I give it 3 stars. Parking, don?t plan tocome with a big group or even 2-3 people.. there is none. The store is certainly outdated, the fridge didn?t have that manychoices and the menu design was ok (clip board like you?re at a doctors office). The place was decent, not clean but not dirtyif that makes sense. As for the food, the chicken sandwich was good but didn?t have a side. The burger was also good, but camewith salty fries. It had avocado bacon lettuce and 3 slices of bread- probably the best part of the visit. For the price pointI don?t think I?d come back, just knowing that I?d have to plan ahead for parking and wait a decent amount of time to be served. Read more
The pulled pork tasted fine but could have used some bbq sauce. The fries were slightly over cooked but still had a good... flavor. As for the spicy Pork Bell. The first half of the ramen was delicious but the pork stock ended up becoming lessdesirable as the dish went on. A little more spice might favorite it up and using something other than mushrooms.

Stopped in from Chicago and was blown away with how creative and tastey the food was. Short rib Mac and cheese was awesome... paired with antidote to drink. The chef even surprised us with a fruit loops cannoli. Will definitely have to visit again andtry more!! Read more
Love that they give 2 eggs for each of the short rib ramen. Other than that, it is not a delicious ramen I will say. Short rib... itself is not tender at all, the soup tastes a bit sour, which I find a bit weird. The flavor is just not my type. Some of thebaby corns are sour, it tastes like they went sour?.
