Konoz Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
Great great food so far I had the steak sandwich and Trust me it is not your average sandwich And I had the Konoz breakfast sandwich it's a amazing , I recommend this place 100%
Tried Konoz on resent trip to Newark/NYC. Alex and Mackenzie were fantastic. The roasted pork/ tostones and shrimp/ plantains were delicious. Appetizers of beef empanadas were nice as well. Great service, we went back the next morning for breakfast and it was delicious too. Highly recommend!
Excellent, well-seasoned food that came out in a timely manner. Highly recommend the potato balls! Mainly a take out place, but the dine in service was also good and all of the staff were very friendly.
The food is simply amazing. My wife and I wanted to experience Dominican food in Newark and Konoz did not disappoint.
I had such an amazing time visiting Konoz Restaurant in Newark, NJ (my hometown)! My husband googled something along the lines of "best restaurants near me" and this gem popped up. I am Puerto Rican myself, so I was elated at the idea and let me tell you - the experience did not disappoint! The restaurant itself is situated on a side street in downtown Newark. The place had decor embellished with the Puerto Rican flags as well as mirrors on the ceiling which was cool & modern and something I haven't seen before. As soon as we entered, we were greeted warmly by a worker who spoke to me in Spanish & saw I was looking for a mango Snapple, which he did not have, but he let me know they had parcha & other delicious drinks. The parcha was delicious! We ordered apps - an order of the bacalaito & an order of the papa rellena. So glad we did not order two because the servings were huge but it was THE BEST bacalaito I've ever had! And I've had a lot in my child and adult life (lol) Afterwards, my husband ordered the chicken pinchos (shish kabob) combo which came with tostones, fried plantains, which were perfectly crisp! I ordered the pernil mofongo which came with a garlic mojo and delicious stew/soup which was such a smart culinary combo! We didn't stop there - to go we'd got a beef empanada, Buffalo chicken & cheesesteak empanada which were all TO DIE FOR! The cheesesteak one made me wanting more! So good. We also got two pasteles which also did not disappoint which we enjoyed for our dinner the next day. While we waited for our to go order we enjoyed each others company as well as a cafecito con leche. I cannot speak more highly of this place - the workers, the food & the entire experience made me leave feeling valued and seen not as a customer but as familia, un amiga, & I will absolutely be back!
Amazing! I had the Cuban sandwich with tostones and a beef empanada. The food was amazing and everyone there was very friendly. My food was ready quick and it was amazing. I will definitely be coming back for this sandwich! One of the best I've ever had!!
Cute little place. Trifongo with Pernil Never had trifongo (plantain, sweet plantain, and yucca) it was good. The pernil was tasty. Cubano This was ok. The pickle wedge ruined the sandwich. It should be slices... Parcha Very good, not too sweet Will definitely stop in for something else on the menu.
Very glad we were nearby and found this place. All of the staff seemed very nice and joyful, it's always great to see. We got 2 specialty sandwiches. The Tritoneta sandwich is so delicious, that first bite was everything. The Cubano is a good classic, loved it. If you also like coleslaw, then definitely give it a try here because it's so light and flavorful. Really enjoyed eating it with our sandwiches to balance it out.
The inside looks clean and nice. The prices are amazing and the food is delicious! The only sucky thing was that there was no parking. There's a few street spots right at the front but it gets taken fast. The best option is to do take out. We ordered the: Half chicken, plantains, rice and beans (chicken was dry) 8/10 Mexican omelets 9/10 Beef empanadas 10/10 Overall, I would come back. Big portions, good prices, yummy food. The staff were friendly. There's seating inside.
