If you are as lazy as I am and time is important, this place is fast but always packed and right for you. Typical Korean salad bar charges by weight. Build you own salad is good, sandwiches are also good. Really fast but really crowded.
I work around the area, and come here whenever I have a particular craving for something greasy that I can't find anywhere else nearby (think Chinese food, udon noodles, etc.). I've only eaten from their self-serve area and the udon stand that's all the way in the back. Nothing that will blow your taste buds away, nothing that will disgust you. I'd give it a 2.5 stars if I could!
Jersey City has a pretty weak catering scene, but this place kills it. Exceptional customer service and great quality. I heart Exchange Market.
This place is right across the street from my job, so I go there out of convenience. Its your typical Bodega looking buffet place so it pretty much meets my expectation of eating food thats been sitting out, at you own risk. if you go at lunch its way too packed and some of the cashiers say "NEXT" before you even get your credit card back in your wallet, super rude, I mean I get it, you're busy, but give me 2 seconds to gather my things and go. I have ad a gnat in my food once and a co-worker has seen roaches on the counter so again, like I said, its you're run-of the mill creep ass buffet place.
Right across from Exchange Place Path station is the EMP. I was working in the area and wanted to try something different. After checking yelp, I see that they have a buffet bar to choose your own dishes. I usually like to try a variety of dishes so I gave this place a shot. On the side of the store you can order sandwiches, salads, and grill items. I decided to try the buffet bar that has many items for you to choose from. They had plain white rice, fried rice, lo- mein noddles, fried shrimp, grill chicken, pasta, beef briskets, meatballs, vegetables, and others. I took a little of each to fill my go plate. When I got to the counter I was shock at the price I had to pay. It was $8.79 per pound, so I ended with a pound and a quarter or so. Total damage was 14 bucks for lunch. Ouch! I don't mind paying for good food, but the items I tasted wasn't that spectacular. Pasta was dry, fried shrimp over cooked, and the fried rice was oily. Overall, I was not impressed with the food and price. The hot food item buffet is overprice for what they are offering. Overall, I might have to try the deli or salad bar the next time if I decide to come back.
Options, options as this deli has many choices of prepared foods on-the-go.
A gargantuan salad bar of cold and hot prepared foods of nearly all imaginable genres: Japanese sushi, Asian dumplings, Chinese Lo mein, beets, loads of varies greens and sold by the pound in typical deli style. Of bankrupt prices, it is of one's choice to choose more or less on your plate per pound. I came here for a bottle of water at $1.30 prior to the long haul journey on the road from NJ/NY to Philadelphia.
Customer service is robotic anesthetized to aloof patrons for a greeting when ringing orders.
Ok, so maybe the food is not top chef quality, but it sure is plentiful and delicious. As all buffets priced by weight, you need to be careful not to take too much of the mashed potato or the sauces that add a lot of weight for little food.
When it comes to "by the weight" food, the best is to pack up on the proteins (meats). Veggies usually carry a lot of water and that adds empty weight to your plate.
If you are not looking for the buffet style food, there are also many stations to get your own sandwiches and other foods like sushi. This place pretty much covers all flavors, from meats, sandwiches, Chinese food, burritos, veggies, fruit bar, soups.
I also like the fact that they have a second floor to sit and relax as you eat your… well, to be honest… a bit over priced food.
Not a date type place, it's a great place for breakfast and lunch.
One of the best hot food buffet options in the area.
Good variety of foods here, especially in the hot buffet. I recommend the chicken cutlets, the sesame chicken and the pastas/lasagnas. There's also a salad bar and a deli section where you can get sandwiches made, as well as a sushi bar in the back. Very good selection of beverages.
There's also ample seating upstairs for you to enjoy your food in comfort.
