More Express is the most authentic Malaysian restaurant I’ve found in Jersey City! The owner and chef are both from Malaysia and are incredibly warm and friendly, which makes the experience feel so welcoming. The dishes are flavorful and authentic – the Hainanese Chicken Rice and Malaysia Prawn are must-tries. The chicken is tender and juicy with perfectly balanced sauces, while the prawns are well-seasoned and succulent. Plus, you get a great view of Jersey City Hall right across the street, adding to the wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy genuine Southeast Asian flavors!
Delicious Malaysian Food in Jersey city!
The Hainan chicken was amazing—authentic and nostalgic. The Bak Kut Teh was a perfect winter dish, sweet, savory, and warming. I also loved the flavorful scrambled eggs served with the prawns.
The Thai milk tea was refreshingly not too sweet, and the crispy Godzilla roll sushi was a nice surprise. Overall, the Hainan chicken, Bak Kut Teh, and Thai tea are must-tries. Great spot with an authentic vibe!
Absolutely the best Hainan chicken one can possibly ask for! The chicken is tender and juicy, the ginger and green onion sauce was applied perfectly, even the rice was soaked in chicken flavor!
We ordered a few appetizers and didn't find anything else particularly impressive, but I'll come back time and time again just for the Hainan chicken!
The restaurant is cozy and quiet. The waitresses were friendly.
The food was quality and really delicious.
Lady answered the call and rudely said “Can you hold? I can’t take your order right now, call back later” and hung up immediately. LOL I will take my business elsewhere. Why did you even answer the call.
Food great. Service could be better. Stop trying to clean up the food when people are still working on it.
I love this place..it's my go to place for Asian food. The servers and owners are amazing!
BYOB
Great place for Malaysian/Southeast Asian food.
Try out the beef rendang and the hainanese chicken rice! Tastes just like home

Food was great, very flavorful and served quickly. The Malaysian specialties are worth trying.
Service is okay. We were greeted with a rude “Yes?” when we entered. No hi, hello, or how many people. Being somewhat pleasant to the people who come to your restaurant would have been nice. Nobody came to refill our water the entire time we were there.
这里的食物,很好吃。服务态度很好。
Attempted to order Uber eats, not allergen friendly like Uber suggests. Phone lady was rude and lazy, told me she doesn’t know how to cancel my order and told me I need to contact Uber. Uber told me that if i cancel the order, I’m not getting a refund and the restaurant is still getting my money despite not making or delivering my order. Lady on the phone said I need to call ahead, which would be fair if their restaurant didn’t specifically allow for allergens to be selected. Other restaurants don’t allow that. She was lazy and rude and wanted to take my $$ for food they were never going to make or deliver. (Because she agreed to cancel the order on her end but not via Uber, where I ordered/paid). Nothing on the menu is gluten free :(
i'm responding to some negative comments about the quality of food at More Express Restaurant . I'm not sure why any one would ever say anything negative . i'm eat at More regularly and have NEVER EVER had food that taste bad , the food is consistently fresh and good !!! But don't take my word for it, Go and see for yourself .
By far the best sushi in downtown Jersey City. The Tokyo world is extremely large and very well portioned however, all the other Sushi although a bit smaller, is full of amazing flavors. The Pad Thai is refreshing and if you like spicy, just ask. Ex service and customer service they stayed open late so my party of two could go and have a late night dinner! Almost forgot, the best miso soup I’ve had outside of Japan!
Best hainan chicken in NY hands down
Crispy chicken is sooo good! Highly recommended!
Delicious Malaysian food. Get the hainanese chicken!
最好吃的海南鸡!
The food is terrific! The service is so friendly!
As a South East Asian, I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. I got the Hainan Chicken Rice, Rendang and Kangung and it was all delicious. Food came out fast and the service was terrific. Would definitely come again!
So yummy we got shrimp soup mango sticky rice and general Tso chicken and it was alll delicious . wouldn’t recommend the beef curry .
Ordered the Kangkung Belachan, Choy Kuen Teow, and the Hainanese Chicken. All delicious. The ginger sauce of Hainanese Chicken is soooo good.
Go for the 海南鸡饭!The Hainanese chicken rice is excellent!!!!
Disappointing Experience with Small Portions and Missing Items
I recently ordered from this restaurant and was quite disappointed with the quality and portion sizes.
The Miso soup I received only filled half the container, which was very underwhelming.
The Thai Chili Basil dish barely had any sauce and only covered the bottom of the container. The portion size was about a quarter of what I’m used to from other places.
Even the rice container was not fully filled, and the rice itself was extremely dry.
Additionally, my pick-up order was missing basic essentials like napkins, a spoon, and a fork, which made eating my meal quite difficult.
Overall, the portions were far too small for the high price, and the missing items added to the frustration. I expected much better and wouldn’t recommend this place based on my experience.
يأخر الطلبات و ماعندهم إخترام للزباين
Very good! All the dishes are excellent. And the beverage and desert are just the best taste. Highly recommend the beef rentang!
好吃,气氛好很适合约会
The Hainanese Chicken and Beef Rendang Curry are very nice! Price is also reasonable. Will definitely visit again
So, to make a long story short this place is so freaking amazing! The owner is a very nice lady and very attentive, the food was amazing, this is one of the best Thai food restaurants in jersey city! The prices are so reasonable, ps they Don't serve alcohol so bring a bottle! When my family and I visit jersey city again we will be returning to more express! Thank you more express!😊

The restaurant is cozy and quiet. The waitresses were friendly.
I was visiting the area for a couple weeks and found this gem of a restaurant! Not only was the food incredibly delicious, but the service was outstanding! Super kind and helpful employees with a nice atmosphere to the whole place. I can give high recommendations to their sushi, some of the freshest tasting I’ve had.
great food! Especially the chicken! The owner is very friendly. And the price is reasonable
I’m love more express , had lunch here with friends, we have new dishes is mee goreng is super good and fresh coconut water , we love it so much.
Food was amazing. We got the drunken noodle and veg sushi and red thai curry.
sushi rolls are really good
Everything we ordered was delicious. They have a really cute backyard garden also. My favorite place to go in Jersey City
I regularly get the drunken noodles for lunch from here and they are perfect every time. Cute cozy spot with friendly staff and consistently good food.
食物非常美味,服务也很周到,非常不错的东南亚风味的菜馆。我跟我的朋友们都很喜欢。
Rude owner! I was asking him for a menu of bubble tea flavors but he wasn’t answering properly and was being rude. I ended up leaving without getting anything.
OG takeout spot in Jersey City, food is ready to pickup 15 mins after ordering and its always terrific, great sushi, drunken noodles and chicken.
Very rude customer service. I was asking a simple question about possible mixing different sushi (combo) but was yelled at, she failed to listen first and was very unpleasant.
foods’ pretty good here but the serving sizes too small for the price they are charging. WAY TOO overpriced. The service is also mediocre but they charge 20% for party of five or more. Don’t eat here unless you want to overpay for mediocre asian fusion restaurant
Quick service, delicious food, and good prices, what's not to love here? They gained a loyal customer.
Good pad Thai!
Great authentic food.
Great atmosphere!!
Amazing server who was so friendly and took care of us! Great food too!
I like to order for pick up here - their rice dishes, curries and hand rolls are great! Use their website to order 👍
Service though has never been good. I would not sit down to eat here as the staff isn’t very friendly and doesn’t provide a welcoming environment for guests.
But the food is undeniably good - wish they’d care more about customer service cause it would bring more customers I’m sure
Wonderful wait staff
Food is very good
Pad Thai noodle very good
Prices very reasonable
It was really good food. We tried sushi, friend rice and spring rolls and everything was amazing.
Good local sushi spot for an affordable sushi craving. Eel avocado roll and shrimp avocado roll are my favorite
Basil fried rice and red curry on point
First time ordering from here. I decided on a chicken pad Thai for pick up. Food was ok, but there was lots of pieces of tofu (10-12) included for some reason! Probably more tofu than the chicken which was the option I had selected. Probably an honest mistake, but still confused!
I'm leaving this FIVE STAR REVIEW for More Express because they are reliable. What I mean by that is this: every time I feel lousy & need a pick-me-up (comfort food almost) I know that when their competitors are already closed that THEY ARE STILL OPEN thus satisfying my cravings. Second, they are reliable because every time I would request for a SUPER SPICY DRUNKEN NOODLES they would GENEROUSLY DO SO thus after eating I feel alert because of the spiciness. I like these things that I mentioned in an establishment because I've lived in 3 continents & travelled the world & I have high standards when it comes to food & service. So far More Express meets my high standards :) I AM CONTENT!
Red curry, pad si ew, drunken noodles are favorites! It's so good!
Always pass by this place and finally stopped in. Wish I had come sooner! Really enjoyed the lunch special options here. Good food and great prices. The sushi tasted fresh and was well made. Tofu was flavorful. Quiet place and service was great
Disgusting 🤢Chinese owner and service very low Chinese manager they have old guy stay away from them
Me and my friend were very happy with their foods. We tried Shrimp Pad Thai and few orders from Sushi menus. I work in Jersey city and will come back for dinner menu because I see some Asian menus that I couldn’t see in my life :) Highly recommend!
So Good ! :)
Really delicious Asian food, sushi was tasty, the sesame shrimp was delicious, a hidden treasure 👍
Great tasting food at a fair price! There hasn't been anything on the menu that I haven't liked. My favorite dish is the drunken udon. This is my go-to place for take out.
Very tasty pineapple rice. Love the sweetness of the pineapples and raisins. The lunch special comes with a small miso soup!
Original review: Really yummy Thai fried rice 😊
5/13/2023 update: It’s changed, and unfortunately for the worse. Pad Thai was soupy, and served with thin noodles. Formerly amazing Thai basil fried rice now tastes like generic fried rice. It’s too bad because this used to be one of our favorite Thai restaurants 🙁
The worst service I've had in a long time. A person in our party had a food allergy and the server did not even try to help us figure out what we could order from the menu. First he said there was nothing we could order. Then when we challenged him and asked about specific dishes he suddenly "remembered" that some dishes that we suggested would be OK. It was so frustrating that we walked out. We went to another restaurant a couple of blocks away where the server treated us like they wanted us to eat there.
It's a great spot for a quick lunch or just passing time after work. Plates are reasonably priced. Good service.
I usually order takeout here. The food is always delicious and at a good price. Staff are friendly. I would highly recommend their curry dishes. This is my goto Thai place!
Brillant cooking, Thai food as well as Sushi. Very friendly service. I was three times in a row. Would come again.
Perfect food as well as a big variety of dishes. Every dish I tried was perfectly executed and really tasty. The service is so friendly and welcoming. The restaurant itself is extremely comfortable to sit in. I would definitely recommend going there and trying the food for yourselves.
Great service, good food.
We love this place, family owned and they are the most lovely people. Sushi is so fresh and food is always so great. My colleague is gluten free and they always make sure to never cross contaminate! We always order the drunken noodle, chicken teriyaki, loads of rolls, and we just tried the mango sticky rice and oh boy it was a winner!
We love this place! Cutest backyard, fresh tasting fish, and reasonable prices!
It’s decent. Quick food, customer service isn’t the best
although it’s a Thai resto, there’s a wide variety of cuisines, including Japanese. the sushi/sashimi is better than the other Japanese takeout place. i ordered the drunken udons the other day for the first time, was too salty. ate in the resto for the first time too, a bunch of flies kept circling around our table and food. maybe will only do takeout from now on…not writing the place off, but def need improvement in some areas. thank you~
Absolutely delicious Massaman & Green curries. Drunken noodles and mango sticky rice are great as well.
Only reason for not giving five stars is because the pad thai can be better. Other than that I highly recommend
SO delicious!!! We walked in 30 mins before closing which , I know , jerk move but I was craving flat noodles and they were kind enough to seat us. It didn’t look like much from the outside but it’s cute. Food came out quick and was SO good. Flavor was on point, prices were fair & portions were big. I liked it more than the new Thai place on Newark for sure. Would definitely go back
I ordered from this restaurant. My advice: DON’T. The “noodles” seamed like pork fat. Fried rice had no flavor and was pale. Miso soup was sweet and expensive. Never again
More Express is perfect for takeout and eating at home. I recommend the veggie spring rolls, veggie sushi, and scallion pancakes. If you go there, you also HAVE to try there bubble tea.
Had lunch here, the food was tasty. We tried Singapore fried rice with chicken, fried vegetable dumplings, lychee bubble tea and shrimp lemon grass soup. All dishes tasted different for our Indian taste buds and we liked them. The food was light and not too filling as we would like it to be The bubble tea was light and good as well. The place is a Thai and sushi hotel. The hosts are good. I recommend to visit for a pocket friendly food option in this area of Jersey City.
I order delivery from them for larger groups, they always label and package everything so nicely. Much appreciated! Delicious food!
I’ve never got anything but their sushi, but their lunch combo prices are very good for 2022. And some of the best sushi in Jersey City!!!
Wonderful menu and specials. Pay ahead for spicy mayo because they will not give you any if you forget !
Been eating here for a few years - - ever since I moved to Jersey City. They have the best Thai food in the city and also incredible sushi rolls (my favorite is the Newark). The staff is very nice. The lunch specials mid week are amazing. The garden in the back is absolutely fantastic. The place is BYTO. It's a great local business. If I could rate higher than 5 stars I would. Would highly recommend.
I love my suchi from More Express.
They delivery is great.
I love that you have more suchi than rice I mean they are packed I loved it.
Good special rolls, fast service, and kind servers.
I always order the yellow curry staple and fried tofu triangles appetizer with sweet chili sauce from here. Hits the spot every time, very good and filling.
Order from here tons of times. Papaya salad, pad thai and drunk noodles are all pretty good!
Favorite Thai fusion in jc! Fun garden out back if the weather is nice
Dishes ranges from Thai to Cantonese to Japanese but they're very good.
Everything is great. Food is right on point always fresh, delicious food 😋
A great restaurant with a wide variety of food and wonderful tea.
No customer service the lady she’s disrespectful at all
Really enjoy going to More Express for our sushi and that food cravings. Great menu, fast service, and tasty food! I think this is definitely one of the best Thai food places in Jersey City.
Solid Asian fusion restaurant near the Grove St PATH station and Newark pedestrian plaza. Nothing stands out in their decor, menu or pricing but the food was tasty and the service was good.
I ordered the general tsao with white rice. When I saw a dead maggot on the broccoli. I look around the other broccoli and to my surprise there was another broccoli with a grey maggot on it. I showed the waiter and he really tried his best. Customer service was a+. He gave a discount on the food and remade my order. I give 5 stars for service but 1 for the food and professionalism in the kitchen. Once I saw that I couldn’t finish eating anymore it spoiled my appetite. I couldn’t look at my food anymore without picking it apart.
Our usual go to place for Thai food.
Tons of options , good taste ,nice portions and beautiful presenation.
Dishes that we have tried so far..
...green curry(tofu,veg,chicken)
...basil fried rice
...pineapple fried rice
..steamed dumplings
Do try the lunch specials; served with soup/salad.
Special note for vegetarians!
Their vegetarian dishes are not cooked in fish sauce, so relish the taste without any worry :)
Great flavours and friendly service! I look forward to tasting other dishes served here. Had sashimi combo and also a sweet/sour chicken. Everything was so fresh and delicious!
I tried sashimi combo and sesame chicken, wow very impressive!!!!Oh please try the Thai curry puff too! Yummy!
The place is nice and clean , food came fast, and had good taste, server was a bit serious but overall all good, recommended!
More Express is always a pleasure. Food comes quickly and the veggie sushi is always excellent. Other dishes are great.
Poor customer service. Ordered food, payed- told I couldn’t sit in their provided seating for a couple bites prior to leaving back to work because i asked for my food “to go”.
I Came here for take out and ordered shrimp
Drunken noodles. It was great! You can really taste THe flavor in the food and it had Just the right amount of spice .. I’ll def be back
Such poor customer service! I pre-ordered food on seamless for delivery 3 hours later as we were expecting guests. I called the restaurant ahead before placing the order and they confirmed it but 30 mins before scheduled delivery, someone from seamless called saying the restaurant canceled my order. So I called the restaurant and the lady on the phone was so rude!! She’s like we’re sold out and there’s nothing I can do. We were so embarrassed and tensed as we had to rush at the last minute to order something else. At one point when we said why did they confirm the order then, she actually started yelling at us. This is probably the 5th or 6th time that they’ve canceled our order but the last time I’m ordering from them. Such a shame cos we actually liked the food from here. Oh and the rep from seamless was even worse. But I’ll handle that complaint with seamless separately! I’m not giving another cent of my hard earned dollars to such poor service at this restaurant or at seamless!!
Does not deserve a star. Pathetic customer service - rude on the phone, lying about your order status while shouting at you, telling me never to order through Postmates. I had to tell her to calm down and say I’m calling just to ask where the food was since it has been over 1.5 hours.
Never order from here. You have a
better chance to get an actual customer service from a fast food chain.
Food was mediocre.
Okayish food, pathetic customer service. This place needs a change of management. Try at your own risk.
As for me, never again.
Man these ppl are something else
The last time we ate here, a few of us came down with really bad headaches about an hour or so after our meal. Even though I had a vegetarian dish, it still didn't sit well in my stomach for hours afterwards.
The food was tasty, however the portions were disappointingly small and extremely expensive for both Grove Street, and what you actually get on your plate. I had to do a double-take when I saw the receipt.
Don't let the plastic wrap draped over the front of the shop, stacks of chairs leaning against the windows, non-existent lighting, and lack of indoor seating fool you. They are indeed open, but just barely.
The manager was reluctant to let us enter the shop to use the restroom, and insisted that we get sprayed with lysol before entering. Before we could touch the paper menus, we needed to douse our hands in sanitizer. They won't offer indoor seating until everyone in NJ gets the vaccine, which is a tall, if not impossible order.
It's unfortunate that paranoia got the better of them, but we will not be coming back here.
There are other more reasonable businesses in the area.
Just ordered their delivery. Thai pasta tasted like it was made few days ago, macaroni were stuck together, no flavor whatsoever. Sushi were okay. The duck tasted terrible. The worse experience in jersey so far
You can try drunken noodles, this is really nice.
The green curry I got for lunch portion seemed very little. The taste wasn't there, it wasn't spicy and not the best I've tasted. My wife got drunken noodle and we asked for no fish sauce or oyster sauce. They didn't substitute any sauce and made it with just plain noodle so it has no taste at all.
All the places we to go make the noodles without this and make it equally as tasty but more Express forgot to add more sauce or something.
Ordered sushi and everything was delicious. I ordered in the store and got my food in 10 minutes!
A little overpriced for the quality and amount of food you get, at least the sushi rolls, maybe the Thai food would be better there.
Its one of my favorite spot to go and enjoy there bubble tea and sushi. Great atmosphere and service is always on point.
Came for a date for dinner tonight cause we both agreed on Asian/sushi.
Food was okay, and just okay. Not even that great, really. Usually I do not eat at, and I recommend that people not eat at, restaurants that say they are Thai-Japanese-Asian-mix whatever. The food tends to be subpar as they aren't concentrating their efforts into one cuisine. So needless to say, I have certainly had better and more flavorful sushi. The carrots as a side veggie in my dish were weirdly flavored, almost tasting chemically.
But the meat of my review is about the service. Unfriendly non-smiling waiter who seemed annoyed with his job and was gruff. Bento boxes are not served as a dinner option, only lunch, which is weird. But worse, everything was served in plastic containers and on paper plates with plastic cutlery. I did not get a clear answer when I asked if this was due to paranoia around the pandemic. I suppose it makes sense as a safety precaution, but when tons of other restaurants are just washing dishes as normal and would be killing the virus anyways through washing, this presentation was not at all nice. Their bathroom was also closed and thankfully the staff at the bar next door who were actually friendly let me in to use their restroom. I suppose it wasn't a mystery that there weren't many outdoor tables filled when we arrived at this Asian restaurant...
Food is good but service is literal trash. Such a shame because they are in such a nice location with nice people. I wonder how long it will take them to get out of business. I kept trying with them but its just how they do their business (or lose business). Anyways when they close down hope real business owners come and run their business right.
