Asian fusion favorites meet Vietnamese soul food at Daikon Carrot in Jersey City—where every bite tells a story.
Daikon Carrot was born from a simple obsession: what happens when you fuse the bright, herbaceous punch of Vietnamese cooking with the comforting familiarity of Korean, Cantonese, and American classics? Tucked into 26 University Place Boulevard, this Jersey City kitchen answers that question with every steaming bowl and crispy sandwich. Walk in and you’ll catch the aroma of lemongrass caramelizing on the grill, the sizzle of Korean fried chicken hitting the fryer, and the unmistakable perfume of Hong Kong-style wonton broth simmering in the back. Their signature move? Taking humble ingredients—daikon, carrots, fresh herbs—and transforming them into crave-worthy dishes like the legendary pork lemongrass bowl and the shrimp po’boy that locals swear by. Whether you’re grabbing takeout on the way home from the PATH or ordering delivery at midnight, Daikon Carrot delivers the kind of bold, soul-satisfying flavor that makes you instantly add it to your weekly rotation.
Dine-in, takeout, and lightning-fast delivery keep the kitchen humming from lunch rush through late-night cravings. The menu reads like a greatest-hits tour of Asia: Hong Kong wonton soup that stops conversations, Korean chicken bowls piled high with pickled daikon and chili crisp, lemongrass pork that regulars reorder on sight, and a shrimp po’boy layered with crispy slaw on a toasted baguette. Vegetarian and vegan options abound—think crispy tofu banh mi and vegetable-packed rice bowls—while the catering menu turns office lunches and game-day spreads into instant celebrations. Every order comes with their signature waffle fries, because even the sides refuse to be ordinary.
