    A decent chinese take out spot. They were ok putting together an order that wasn't specifically on the menu - this being shrimp, with brown rice, and chinese vegetables which includes broccoli, mushrooms, carrots, and I think chinese cabbage. But they kind of messed up my order, I wanted chicken and broccoli and general tso rib tips combo which was on the menu, and having never seen it I thought I'd try it. Well I ended up getting generals tsos chicken and "general tso" ribs. I quote it because it looked and tasted like the usual general tsos ribs from a chinese spot. He did give me a soda but I was a bit annoyed. The food was ok otherwise, pretty much like your run of the mill chinese food spot but they have a large menu and seems a bit bigger than the others in the area.

    I gave this a two rating not because the food was bad, it just didn't live up to my expectations. Growing up, Chinese food rice was white rice that was fried and turned a brown color when soy was added to it. According to the menu the fried rice looked brown, when I get home I see the rice is yellow rice which seems to be the norm in my surrounding area. I was able to find a restaurant (The Noble East in Montclair, NJ) that serves traditional Chinese food but it's too far. The food isn't bad, it just common.

    They give free crunchy fried noodles with every order! What a bonus and great foreshadow! The roast…read morepork appetizer my bf and I were obsessed we both agreed it was prob the best NJ Chinese food place roast pork we've ever had. The rice was good and the noodles fine too! Truly enjoyed this meal so much. There was plenty of parking as well. Generous portions. Kind staff. and outdoor seating! Will definitely be returning to dine in!! Looked nice inside!

    I recently went back to Hunan Taste for the first time in several years, and, sadly, my experience…read morewas not as enjoyable. The restaurant's dining room was still spacious and nicely adorned, and they even had a lovely outdoor patio, though it overlooked an Acme parking lot. Our server was a delight and completely went above and beyond for us. The food, however, was mediocre. The Pork Soup Dumplings were our favorite item, as their broth and meat were extremely flavorful. However, about two of the six had holes in them, so some of the soup had escaped before they were even removed from their bamboo steamer. The Spicy Chicken Dumplings came in a generous portion of ten, but the fiery poultry inside had a strong "chicken" flavor, if that makes sense. Lastly, we had the Chicken Chow Fun, which was extremely bland and full of gummy noodles. That chicken was tender and had a better flavor, though. I just looked back at my last review to see that we had ordered the same noodle dish previously, and, while it similarly had very little sauce on it, the plate had been much more enticing back then. I also saw a bunch of gnats flying around near our table, which was not appetizing, but in fairness, it was a very hot evening. Despite our mixed experience, the dishes being delivered to neighboring tables all looked amazing. I would like to think it was just an off-night and would be willing to give the place another shot.

    Let me get one thing straight. Shan Shan Noodles doesn't care about this review. They don't care if…read moreyou come. Why? Because they are busy AF. They are buzzing. We went for the first time Sunday at like 3pm? Full. Take out orders flying out the door. It's a cute place. Standard strip mall aesthetic. But they do have a window where you can see them hand pulling the noodles. That's right, hand pulling the noodles which is the main attraction. The food is from the North Western part of China near Pakistan so there are some Indian influences like their Cumin lamb and pulled noodles one of their most popular dishes. But I'm getting ahead of myself. With my vegetarian wife who as usual ruins everything by insisting we order vegetarian appetizers. Scallion pancakes were delicious. No pictures because we ate them immediately. Pan fried dumpling. 9 of them. That's a big portion. And it was like 9-10 bucks? They make their own dumpling wrappers, their own dipping sauces. Dumplings were very good. You could really taste the vegetables. Focused on the quality of the ingredients. My wife had the hand pulled noodles in hot oil. Marked spicy it was American spicy. Did not blow your head off. O enjoyed them. They give you a pair of scissors. Because it's one long noodle. Do not use them on your birthday. More on that later. I had the aforementioned cumin lamb and pulled noodles. I liked it but it was overwhelmingly cumin flavored which obviously is the point of cumin lamb. I'm not saying over seasoned I'm just saying it announced itself as this is cumin lamb. Period. We also had bubble tea! How fun is that? My wife had taro which they made with non dairy milk for her. I had pomegranate with exploding bubbles. Never had those before. Also super fun. They did not explode in an American way or even a Chinese way as both countries let's face it are pretty well known for making things explode. No in a pleasant way. Waitress was delightful we had obviously a long conversation about the food and the restaurant. The scissors are for Americans who share their food. In China you would eat the noodles slurp them without cutting them because eating long noodles especially on your birthday is supposed to promote a long life. We did not learn this until after cutting my wife's noodles. It was her birthday. I will miss her but also look forward to meat based appetizers. One door closes and all that. They also own the bakery a few doors down. Very light chiffon style cakes. Not too sweet. Chocolate Oreo cake. I asked if that was very traditional. Oh how we laughed at my hilarious joke.

    We came here after it being recommended to us by a tea shop in Boonton. Coming in for some hot…read moreChinese food while it's bitter cold outside certainly hits just the right spot and starting with the steamed beef dumplings was a great choice. The dumplings were flavorful, hot, and perfectly steamed. They were definitely the highlight of our meal. Next came the beef pancake which was crunchy, chewy, had excellent flavor, but slightly heavy on the sauce. Lastly, was the braised beef noodle soup. The broth's flavor was on the mild side, whilst relying on the spice's heat to shine as the primary flavor. The beef was also mild, but especially tender. There was also a good amount of proteins in the soup and the hand pulled noodles were perfectly thick and chewy. Overall it was a great dish for a chilly night out.
