Yubi's 78 Restaurant
578 Newark Ave, Jersey City, NJ
Crema's Take
“Yubi's 78 feels like dining at a friend's table rather than a restaurant, with genuinely attentive service from staff who anticipate your needs and an owner who personally thanks guests after their meal. The kitchen turns out carefully crafted dishes—from charred octopus to homemade lasagna and fresh pasta—that reveal real care in both technique and ingredients, making it the kind of neighborhood spot where regulars become family.”

Perfect! Yubi'5 78 is simply a welcoming homey atmosphere. A very casual dinner date with my wife, we were seated and greeted by Anna and served by Luis. The food (578 salad, fries burratta, calamari, and rigatoni bolonese) was spectacular, it was truly made with love. I scraped the bowls off dry. Lol! My wife and I had a wonderful time speaking with Luis, as he shared his heartwarming story; while Anna was welcoming. We will certainly be back (frequently)! We are rooting for this spot to be a staple business in the revitalizing grounds around the court house; with the ever changing landscape of Jersey City.
This was my family’s first time here, and Anna, our waitress, was such a great help with the menu, as well as very professional and friendly! The owner Mr. Yubi also stopped by after our meal to thank us for coming in and gave us background of the restaurant and how he got started! Overall amazing experience and you can tell they care about every customer! Also a huge plus you can bring whatever alcohol you want in!
I have not been here but I absolutely would boast about their food and their service. I ordered door dash and even though there was a delay in the couriers part, it was still as if it were just cooked, very flavorful and really nice presentation. When I had to call to inquire about the pickup the lady was very helpful and definitely assisted in getting dd to assign someone to come get it. The price was definitely right and I will definitely and really looking forward to the fried calamari.
I came here with a friend for her birthday. It was great we had a wonderful time. The staff here is amazing ready to cater to all your needs. Before you even need anything they are coming to check on you, clearing the table before the next part of the meal. It was wonderful service from the whole team. The food was amazing. It was honestly great pasta the grilled chicken on the salad was great. Everything was made to perfection. It’s a small intimate BYOB place. I would recommend for a girls night or a date night. I would say it’s better for smaller groups 4 or less and great for couples. I will definitely be back.
I highly recommend this little gem!!. The quality and taste of the food is simply superb. We had the charred octopus, calamari frutti, lobster ravioli, homemade lasagna. The risotto di mare and braised short ribs were the real deal, we also tried prosciutto cantaloupe and it was sooo tasteful and refresh!... each plate was made to enjoy. What a well blend of flavor! No only the food is something to come back for, also their stuff is incredible polite and amiable, made us feel we were well taking care all time.
