Amazing Taste,

918 US-22, North Plainfield, NJ 07060, United States

"I last tried Amazing Taste a couple of years ago and returned today to give it another try. Unfortunately, it was no better. Upon entering, I wasn't sure if it was under new management. The staff member who took my order seemingly spoke little English. That wasn't the experience I expected from a soul food spot. As I watched the preparation of my dish, I was astonished. My mouthwatering craving for juicy baked chicken, stewed string beans and mac and cheese quickly dried up like a desert. I was sorry I had entered, sorry I had paid $20 for what I saw taking place. Three pale pieces of chicken from a box were tossed into the microwave along with sides in a takeout container. Noooo. If I wanted a microwave dinner I could have saved half that amount and picked up a frozen dinner from the supermarket. I don't use a microwave at home, so I certainly don't want that from a restaurant that states their food is amazing. Then when it came out, those pieces were exchanged for three other pieces (not sure why) and everything was again microwaved. The chicken lacked flavor and was beginning to harden at the edges. There was little to no gravy or juices present. The string beans were overcooked and beginning to break down. They too, had no flavor. The mac and cheese was underwhelming and didn't have a harmonious flavor. I threw it all out after a few bites. Oh, and years ago cornbread was included. No more. That's fine because it tasted like a thin piece of bland cake that fell apart trying to eat. I've spent a few hundred dollars there on maybe now my fourth visit. No more."

"The food is out of this world, the flavors are insane. Mac and cheese is amazing the yams are insanely good idk what they put in this food bro, maybe crack ? Idk."

"been coming here for years when i would still see husband and wife working at plainfield north location. so sweet and what they do for the community is so important! delicious food as always. sometimes you never know after not coming for a while but they stayed just the same. fried shrimp was perfect, potato salad was excellent. oxtail and gravy was delicious with generous portions. they don’t miss!!"

"I ordered the honey bbq wings platter. It came with 6 party size wings and 2 sides for $18.66. The wings were really good and fresh! I would have preferred full size wings. The yams were amazing! A great balance between the flavors, not too sweet. I was disappointed with the mac n cheese. I love Mac n cheese so this is why my overall rating went down. It was very oily, and lacked cheese. It was not cheesy at all. The noodles were cooked to perfection but the cook could work on the cheese sauce. As far as for the service aspect they only take cash app, Zelle or cash. This was my first time ever trying this restaurant so it would have been nice to know prior to getting there. After placing my order and paying, I realized I wanted to try their cornbread 0.88. When using cash app you can only send a minimum of $1, so the cashier asked if I wanted 2 pieces. I said no and decided I would do without. Yes it might seem petty but look at the bigger picture. Lastly, I would highly recommend a menu with the prices. I don’t understand why the prices aren’t transparent to the customers. I visited the location in South Bound Brook. I might give them a 2nd chance. Overall 3 1/2 stars has 4 star potential."

"Gets the job done . Collards were overly salty . Fish was okay. Mac was good for a faster paced restaurant . Fried shrimp was soggy, no crisp . If you have a southern craving , this will satisfy the itch . Fair prices"
