Reviews for Lipz Smacking in East Orange, NJ
Yum! This was my first time eating food from Lipz and what a delightful find! So much flavor in the food. Found Lipz online... earlier this week because I decided to order in and was looking for new delivery places online. Didn't do it that night (changeof plans), but the menu looked so good I decided a few days later to drive over and look inside, and to order take-out for myhusband and me. I ordered salmon patties (comes with 4) and two sides; mac 'n' cheese and spinach. As an afterthought Iremembered they had plantains and ordered them, too.

She said, "Do you like salmon patties?" and it occurred to me they might bebland, but decided to give them a try. There were 4 in the order, and the flavor was excellent, not overdone but tasty andcomplemented the salmon. The "special sauce" (their own special sauce) she included was so good as an accent that I dipped eachbite (except the first - wanted to taste the salmon patty by itself) into it. Made the salmon patties taste even better than thefirst, plain bite! Finally, the plantains were caramelized to perfection. Luscious without being overly sweet. I may dreamabout them. My husband rated his curried chicken a 7 out of 10. He thought the portion was a bit small. If he'd felt the Read more
Best food around town! love the rice and chicken
Food was bomb! Ordered Mangu and it was freshly made with all the works. Cheap and authentic Dominican food.
The flavors aren’t truly Dominican style maybe owners changed. The flavor is just not there. I gave 4 stars because it’s an... easy Togo process but def need that Dominican flavor in the food... Read more
