    Dim sum
    Surina C.

    Aquarius is a restaurant that I always come back to. If you're looking for the best dim sum in the area, make sure that you come here!

    Schlepped out here for a part road trip, part food adventure experience. Wish I could say the mileage was worth it, but it kinda wasn't. Then again, I'm from Toronto, where our dim sum is good enough to make the gods cry. We got all the usual suspects, and the best of the batch was probably the Tripe, Chicken Feet, Spare Ribs in Black Bean Sauce and Rice Rolls / Cheong Fan. The rest were bland and forgettable. And don't expect fun, unusual or creative dishes--they colored firmly within the lines here. +1 for giant bowls of tofu dessert soup--one bowl is enough to feed at least three people.

    Good spot for dimsum. Gets super busy - highly recommend coming right when they open because there will be a line out the door even before doors open!! Good food & definitely busy for a reason. Parking can be a bit rough bc of where it is in fort lee - so it can be a bit to find street parking.

    In town for work and order carry out over the phone. Overall it was pretty solid I had never tried duck so I got the roasted half duck which I would give a 8/10 definitely good but the price of $36 seems a little high for the amount of meat. But anyways the flavor was good. Also got the shredded beef with spicy peppers which I would give a 7/10. It tasted good but not spicy at all and for nearly $24 the amount of beef was pretty minimal

    Stumbled upon this place when we were driving back from NJ to NY. It's in Fort Lee where there are plenty of Korean restaurants. The food is pretty authentic, and they mostly Cantonese dishes. Food portions are good, and service is welcoming. We'd definitely come back next time we go to NJ.

    Dim Sum Cart

    Returned to Aquarius almost after a year. Luckily wasn't a long line on Saturday morning. They have made the waitlist online now, so don't need to wait at the door anymore. The inside of the restaurant is still the same, lots of tables cramped in a small space. I found the dim sum items to be much better quality. The dumplings, shau mai, rice cake, mango jelly, egg tar, beef tendon all were really tasty. Carts were going around more often. But the dishes we got from the kitchen wasn't too impressive. I didn't like the rice and noodles much. The service was better this time. We got the server's attention few times when we needed some assistance. For payment, they do it at the table now, no need to go to the counter. Overall I liked having dim sum lunch here after a long time.

    This place appears to be sized for small or larger groups! Service was a bit choppy depending on who was serving, they appear to alternate. We tried their dim sum platter , soup dumplings and chicken lettuce wraps. These were very disappointing, really lacked that Chinese umami flavor. We did however try their peking duck and that was the best thing, crispy skin and they took out most of the bones. Will tty again though, Maybe different entrée style meals. Portions are generous and they make in house cold tea beverages as well.

    When I need a dim sum fix, I go here. Why? The food is yummy - and more importantly, I can enjoy dim sum any day (not just the weekends). I've been here a lot, and it never disappoints. My go-tos have always been consistently good: - shrimp dumplings (har gow) - pork dumplings (shu mai) - shrimp rice rolls - sticky rice - roast pork buns - turnip cake with pork There are other items I like a lot: - spare rib tips with black bean - pan fried shrimp & pork dumpling with leeks - rice roll with dough (this can be hit or miss, depending on how fresh the dough stick is) And my absolute favorites are: - deep fried pork & shrimp dumpling (they aren't real dumplings - they have a mochi like consistency & chew with a savory meat filling) - Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce I've been missing their sesame ball that they used to have with a black sesame paste filling. I haven't seen it in a long while (sad face). If you can, try to wait for a seat by the window.

    Stopped by here for dimsum on a weekend- they were busy before opening, a line outside. They processed many tables quickly inside, before stopping and having people sign in on a waitlist. It took about 30min to get through 12 tables before us (we were a party of 6, so what they called "small" tables 1-6ppl); some tables went unused as they were reserved (apparently for larger groups you can call in to reserve ahead of time). They will text your phone when it's ready for your turn. They have staffers running around with carts, and not everything on the menu is on the carts; you can ask staff if you don't see something you want. They have a cute egg custard bun that looks like a piggy (see picture). Roast duck was ok; very crunchy and very greasy. I prefer more flavor. The roast pork puffs were ok; outside good but the bbq pork inside lacked strong enough flavor. The chicken feet and tripe, again, flavor a bit too mild or slightly off of what I'm used to at Jing Fong. Shrimp rice rolls and fried leek & shrimp dumplings were enjoyed, though. Tea is charged by adult, as a note. Cash or card accepted.

    Another fantastic quick hit for dim sum today. I have never been disappointed by them or their predecessor, Silver Pond. Great food, great service and still very reasonable prices in this crazy priced world. I'll be back again and again.

    A really fresh authentic dimsum cart restaurant that is a local favorite. Even prior to their opening hour (11 am) on Saturdays people start lining out the doors with their friends and families to kick off their weekends. The moment you sit down, the ladies start pushing around the various carrs and they have everything from the classic rice roll, baked buns, congee, and all the other dimsum goodies you can expect in a larger facility. The dimsum especially in the morning tastes super fresh, all of the dumplings and rolls are stuffed with lots of meats and vegetables and the service is super attentive. Some of my favorite dishes include, black bean spare ribs, preserved egg congee, shrimp hargow, pork shumai, and of course the glistening char sui bao buns. Ambiance is casual and great for large groups of people. I would say, like most dimsum spots this isn't a place to sit idly and catch up with friends but rather eat a piping hot meal quickly and head out. There is a pretty fast turn around time for all the tables given there is often a wait. A good spot in Northern NJ if you are not willing to head into the city or more central Jersey. - street parking - come before they open - cash or card

    Are dim sum gluten-free? Are the wraps made with rice dough or whole wheat flour ? Thanks 😀

    I think most dumplings and dimsum dishes are wheat flour based. The pan fried turnip cakes (lo bak gow) is usually rice flour based, sometimes with added potato or tapioca starch. Some of the dumplings, usually the ones with more translucent… Read more

The sauce was god and the broccoli tasty but the shrimp was a little offputting. I'm not sure I would order the shrimp and broccoli again.

Table was cleaned and we were set up very quickly, the server came to us immediately and took our drink order pretty quickly. We started off with the scallion pancakes which were great!

Herbal chicken soup - fantastic (10 stars as a soup lover it was delicious and hearty) General Tso's - more on the sweet than spicy side which is my preference but may not be everyone's (very crispy and good in my opinion if you value texture over spice it was great -4/5 stars) Beef with scallion - my fam loves scallions so it was absolutely delish, and I tried some and thought so too! (5/5 stars) Eggplant in garlic sauce - delicious, was cooked very well, a perfect balance of spices and texture. (6/5 stars ** it was very very good ) Roast pork fried rice - SO SO good as is a staple of most Chinese places I think. (4.5/5) Shrimp pan fried noodles - I'm allergic to seafood so I didn't have it but it was good (4/5) OF COURSE THE SOUP DUMPLINGS: I'll give the soup dumplings a 4/5 they were good, I haven't had any in Jersey I usually go to NY for soup dumplings so I think it's pretty good for here. I think the service was very good, they were very kind, very attentive, now that could be because we ordered half the menu idk - but *I*** think it's SUCH a great place where you really get a bang for your buck. I also want to say the portion sizes are LARGE we definitely ended up taking things to go just because we didn't expect to order so much and for the portions to be so large. I think I may have forgotten another dish or two but overall the food is really really good. Only qualm really was just the size of the restaurant (which they can't really help) wasn't too big. The ambiance was very nice - though I think my party was unfortunately a bit more boisterous than the rest of the people around, it's family friendly so any one of all ages can come and enjoy something. Saw plenty of parents with strollers, elderly people, and everyone in between like my group. It's pretty good vibes. Big portions, great food, good people, good vibes! I have to come back here sometime! I usually go to Fort Lee for Korean food but I think I've found a new place to hit up when I'm in town. Lovely lovely place!

It was crowded but not packed yet. We were seated right away (your whole party needs to be there). There are so many options for dim sum - some that you don't even typically see in Brooklyn/Chinatown. For example, I saw some lobster tails, and a giant cheesy oyster that looked really good but I'm sure they were $$$. We stuck to the dim sum basics - ha gao, shumai, beef churng fun, chicken feet, chicken sticky rice, steamed cha siu baos, and tofu pudding. I don't have any complaints about the dim sum. All were good and some were even better than ones in NYC. And let me tell you - they do not skimp on the meat here. The ha gaos and shumais were so plump! Since it's a rarity that we get to have authentic Chinese food, we also ordered the salted fish and diced chicken fried rice, and the pan-fried noodles with beef. Both were good and had lots of meat. Service was surprisingly attentive - unlike in NYC where it takes forever to flag down a waiter. Our waiter was always nearby and seemed happy to help with our requests of water, chili oil, etc. I think we might have found our go-to Cantonese restaurant. It's just a shame it isn't closer to home.
