Sushi Lounge (Hoboken, NJ)


My brother was on a huge seemless kick, might actually still be on it actually. After an exhausting day of brunching and leisurely drinking on the pier, sushi felt like the perfect ending for it. Everyone knows that before sushi, I need to order gyoza, need. These gyoza where not the best, and I know everyone would be like "yea, don't order dumplings from a sushi spot, keep with fish," but that wouldn't be me. 

The sauce was good. the gyoza though lacked the pizazz of other ones. Usually gyoza is very, very thin, very crispy, these where a little to thick for my liking. Just call them a dumpling.  The filling was blah. Luckily though, even blah dumplings are better than no dumplings, because if Iz-piece were writing this, it would have been way worse for them. She was not feeling this 'lings, but then again that's why I get paid the big bucks. Although, wouldn't sleep on her review of dumplings, she has had phumplings, while I haven't.

Daily Chinese (Weehawken, NJ)



There are still Chinese places around that I have to try, for that go to takeout. Up on deck is Daily Chinese.  Honestly, not to thrilled that I had to order chicken dumplings, c'mon get your act together Daily. Chicken...really...what is this? Now with that out of the way these dumplings we really not horrible. After I got over the initial disappointment of their lack of love for the other white meat, these dumplings had some redeeming qualities. The dough and fry was pretty commendable. The insides besides being chicken, and not pork place it second in the chicken dumpling category, which I'm not sure if that's an honor or what, since that category is only three places long. The sauce game was brought as well. 

They are definitely not my go to order, but what kind of blogger would I be if I didn't try them for the world.
