They do have sushi, but it was almost all various crabmeat/salmon/spicy salmon/veggie rolls. The salmon varieties had so little fish that all I tasted was rice. Definitely don't go there for sushi lol. Tokyo Hibatchi in Secaucus has much better sushi variety for $15.

Is this only true for schools in downtown and LCCC? I've only heard of high demand for preschool at Cornelia Bradford school and at Concordia. From speaking to my coworkers, they would all rather pay 20-30K private school tuition for pre-k or continue daycare than any of the other public preschools in Jersey City.

I used Brescia and Miggliaccio for my first, and while most of the docs in the practice are really nice, some are downright incompetent. Because they are a group practice, it's luck of the draw who delivers you when you go into labor. I had a horrible experience I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
Now using Yousry for my second. He is really really nice and I feel really comforted by his expertise. But his wait times are SO long. I've seen him four or five times so far and each time I've had to wait close to 3 hours, except the last time, when I waited 1.5 hours (they were running on schedule that day apparently). So basically by the time he enters the room, I am about to have a stroke from boredom and frustration and I swear I'm going to switch docs but then he makes me feel all better again with his bedside manner. Idk if I can stick with the practice through to the end ... just thought I'd warn y'all.

I think the owners are American citizens, the contractors who perform the work aren't. I should clarify that I meant their pricing was good before I saw the final product. If you have your own contractor and labor, Chen Depot for countertops is probably decent. To be fair, they have fast turnaround (I think 3 days, max of 5 days for most orders) and maybe if I had purchased their higher end granite, I wouldn't have the chips, although I would still have the hole in my wall from bad templating. Their granite starts at $30/sq ft. I got the cheap granite and after everything was said and done, prob paid about $38/sq ft? 95% of my problems came from using their brother, John Chen, for my contractor and labor.

Ditto on John Moss! Used him for our condo purchase and he's really professional. He's not afraid to tell you the truth, even when you don't want to hear it. For a second purchase, I called him about a new construction that I suspected had lots of issues. Even without seeing it, he listened patiently to what I had seen in the basement and what that could mean. He advised me to go to town hall to pull permit and inspection reports on the house. Spent about 30-45 minutes on the phone with me for free and basically told me to save my inspection and GTFO that house. Would use him again in a heartbeat.

Long time lurker, registered an account just to give my experience. I used Chen and I regret it.
It's a family business--one brother and sister owns the countertop/flooring/cabinet business on 1-9, which has decent prices and the other brother owns the subcontracting business. RE Chen Depot: they tried to overcharge me on measurements--they don't act. give you final measurements until like day of delivery or day before when you pay the balance. They were some 10 sq ft over and I demanded they show me the templates and how they calculated. They refused and after fighting, my husband agreed to give them an extra $100 over our own calculations just to get the whole thing over with. Turns out, they screwed up templating and couldn't fit the countertop without knocking a hole in my kitchen wall to shove the end of the countertop into the wall. That was patched up in a crappy way. Now, almost a year later, the granite surface is chipping in some places. To be fair, their granite is very thick, not the Home Depot thin slabs, but I think the rushed and bait-switch method they operate leaves a bad taste in my mouth. RE Straight Line Construction: this was a clusterf***. The boss told me my kitchen demo and complete renovation would take 2-3 weeks, which was much faster than most American contractors were quoting. Guess what, he actually only allocated 5 days. Corners were cut EVERYWHERE. They left my house a complete mess. Cement was dripped all over the hardwood floors in my hallway and dining room. My kitchen floors are uneven, grout keeps breaking (second and third opinions on how to fix the floors told me that they would need to rip up the whole thing because the tiles are actually moving as you walk on them because they weren't attached correctly, too much wet cement and no thin set or something). Cabinets were installed not in a straight line. Every day was a new fight with the boss and workers about the quality of the work they had done before. At the end, we also just paid up just to get these people out of my house with their half assed job that took several weeks and thousands more to fix. TLDR; Chen depot has good pricing, but their quality is questionable and workmanship sucks balls.
