Came here mainly for the prawns and that ended up being the highlight of the meal. The prawns were cooked really well, tender with a nice bite, but the sauce is what makes this dish worth coming back for. It’s rich but balanced, with scallion oil and a touch of chili oil on top that adds a lot of aroma and depth without feeling heavy.
The crispy mushrooms were just okay on their own, a bit too cheesy for my taste, but dipping them into the prawn sauce actually worked surprisingly well.
The lumache pasta had a strong olive oil presence and leaned a bit salty, though the pork inside was cooked properly.
The pork katsu was disappointing. It looks big, but the pork is pounded extremely thin, and the breading ends up thicker than the meat, making it dry and not very satisfying.
Service was fine and efficient. Overall, I’d come back specifically for the prawns, but probably skip the rest.

Jane Doe, Jersey City truly impressed us from start to finish.
We began with the layered fries and chicken yakitori, and both appetizers set the bar high. The fries were perfectly cooked—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside—and the truffle sauce was genuinely finger-licking good with an incredible depth of flavor. The chicken yakitori was juicy and well seasoned; while it was delicious on its own, a dipping sauce would have made it absolutely perfect.
For mains, we ordered the pomodoro pasta and a chicken entrée, and both delivered once again. The pasta was cooked just right, and the pomodoro sauce tasted fresh, light, and vibrant. The chicken dish was flavorful and satisfying, and the side of sweet potatoes was surprisingly addictive—soft, well-seasoned, and comforting.
The absolute highlight of the meal, though, was dessert. The olive cake with limoncello deserves a special mention—it was hands down the best part of the evening. Moist, beautifully balanced, not overly sweet, and packed with flavor. This is a must-try, no questions asked. I’m already planning to order two slices on our next visit.
Lastly, the service deserves major praise. Even on New Year’s Eve, everything came out quickly, efficiently, and with great attention to detail. The experience felt smooth and well-managed from start to finish.
Overall, Jane Doe is a standout spot with excellent food, thoughtful execution, and top-notch service. Can’t wait to go back.

Went for a dinner with 3 others. We were trying to find some Asian restaurant but based on Yelp this place had a god reviews. Being Japanese and Italian cuisine, we were excited. We ordered few appetizer, shrimp yakitori, mushroom fried and fries. We ordered different dishes to share for dinner. Appetizers were ok. But for main course, we didn’t enjoy any of them. One of our friend liked chicken mains but for 3 of us, all the dishes were too creamy and bland. Pork Katsu was so dry and chewy that we all took 1 or 2 pieces to try rest were all trash. Japanese curry pasta was so so. We were all hungry but food was not appetizing for us. The presentation was good though. I love Japanese cuisine and Italian cuisine is also something I enjoy. But I couldn’t enjoy the food at all. Was not sure, if this was not the taste we like or food here is not good. However, the atmosphere was good and service was top notch.

Jane Doe is a wonderful Jersey City restaurant with a sleek and modern interior and delicious menu. Their drink menu is extensive and very creative. I’d describe their menu as Italian forward with some Japanese fusion. They do a great job accommodating dietary restrictions and all of their pasta can be made gluten free which was awesome as we had someone in our group with a gluten sensitivity.
This would be a great spot for a date night or a special night out in JC.

Went for Budos concert at White Eagle and just wanted to kill some time. It wandered in for a few drinks and then the burger called and I was done. Layered fries! Gotta make those for my kids. Great atmosphere fantastic staff. Would go back.

I’ve been to Jane Doe at least 4 times but this is my first time writing a review. This is one of my favorite restaurants in Jersey City, with a high end feel, fantastic food and unique decor. I’ve never once had a bad meal here. I recently came on Sunday with my husband and was pleased to learn of the $10 classic cocktail happy hour from 12-7pm. You’re not going to get a better deal in this neighborhood! The cocktails are creative and tasty and the food is always superb. I recently had the whipped ricotta appetizer, smash burger with the layered potato “fries” (yum) and the prawn scampi with Calabrian chilis. All were divine. Our bartender John, was friendly and even treated us to a complimentary shot, as we were celebrating a birthday. I will ALWAYS recommend this place to my friends and family, 10 out of 10.

Had an amazing experience here, the staff, food and drinks were all phenomenal. Really could not have had a better experience and the environment is beautiful and so fun. We got the whipped ricotta, linguine, and steak. Loved it

UPDATE: (A FEW WEEKS LATER – TAKEOUT)
I previously gave Jane Doe a glowing review because the food and experience have always been fantastic. However, my recent takeout experience left me disappointed. I ordered the gluten-free scampi, a dish I absolutely love, but unfortunately, the pasta was undercooked. It’s frustrating to get home, excited to enjoy a favorite meal, only to find it not properly prepared. It really felt like my order was rushed.
I will absolutely continue dining in because the quality has always been great in person, but I won’t be ordering takeout again. Hopefully, they can improve their takeout preparation to match their usual high standards.

I recently discovered Jane Doe, and it has quickly become a favorite of mine. In just one week, I’ve dined there twice, and each experience has been absolutely delightful.
The Food
Starter: Japanese Sweet Potatoes
These are absolutely delicious! Perfectly cooked with a subtle sweetness and just the right amount of seasoning. A fantastic way to begin the meal.
Entree: Gluten-Free Scampi
This dish is to die for! I’m obsessed with the rich flavor and the light kick that elevates it to perfection. It’s incredibly satisfying and filling without feeling heavy—a truly delightful dish.
Dessert: Limoncello Olive Oil Cake
This is now one of my favorite desserts of all time. The cake is moist, flavorful, and simply outstanding. A must-try for anyone visiting Jane Doe.
The Atmosphere:
The ambiance is warm and cozy, making it an inviting spot to enjoy a meal. The music is on the louder side, but it’s still possible to have a conversation. The friendly and attentive staff add to the charm of the place, making every visit enjoyable.
Jane Doe has quickly earned a top spot on my list of go-to restaurants. Whether you’re looking for a satisfying meal or a cozy night out, this place delivers on all fronts!
