This restaurant features a minimalist Shanghai-style design, centered around a striking red and…read moregold color palette. Although the decor is simple, the bold use of red and gold makes it highly memorable--and the space is very clean. Even though the bowls and chopsticks are disposable, there's clear attention to detail. The chopsticks feel great to use, and they are even engraved with "上海小笼," which is a thoughtful touch. The bowls are made of thick, sturdy paper, with a beautiful red base and gold rim--both aesthetically pleasing and environmentally friendly. Ordering is done through a self-service kiosk, but there are still staff members nearby. When it's not busy, they are friendly and happy to assist with any questions. The Noodle in Scallion Sauce （上海葱油拌麵） has a rich scallion oil flavor with perfectly chewy noodles, while the Cold Noodle w. Peanut Butter Sauce （麻將涼拌麵） is packed with a strong peanut flavor and equally chewy texture. Both dishes are delicious and taste very similar to Taiwanese sesame noodles. Every dish is served fresh and hot, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality. Whenever I'm in Edison, I can't help but come back to try more items on the menu.

Outstanding and worth the 35 minute wait for a table…read more We visited on a Wednesday at dinner time and waited on a bench outside until our table was ready.

The Spare Ribs with Garlic and Eggplant with Minced Pork were particularly good. The room is clean and comfortable.

Loved their mei fun, hot and sour soup and orange chicken/beef back then. Came back after many years. Many of the tables were removed but the vibe remained the same. It's still cash only. We got hot and sour soup, eggplant with garlic sauce and sautéed string beans. Portions were still humongous. Food was still excellent. The soup had many chunks of tofu, mushroom and egg. The eggplant was perfectly cooked with a thick spicy garlicky sauce. The string beans had a slight char and crispy but perfectly cooked. Hoping this place will stay open for many more years to come.

Fried wontons smack so much, they're so good, highly recommend. What I love about the fried wontons…read morehere is that they are definitely not skimpy on the meat (don't go in expecting a dumpling's amount of eat in each one, but definitely expect more meat than you would get in a standard fried wonton). Service was exceptionally fast and efficient, and the owner was extremely nice and personable. Good amount of seating inside, nice late night unpretentious vibes.

There's probably only 12 tables in the restaurant, but even on a weekday lunch, half of the restaurant was filled. Lots of regulars seemed to stop by for take-out as well. The food came out super quick and everything was delicious! I wish I remembered the name of this dish but it's this black pepper fish and it is absolutely so tender and so flavorful. Best fish I've had in a while!! Prices are good, food is good, staff is friendly and kind and will definitely be back here!

The food comes out lightning fast. Everything is very reasonably priced. Best of all, it's all delicious. I tried stuff outside of my comfort zone and I loved it all. My favorite were the pork juicy buns (soup dumplings) but the most unique thing was the pan fried noodle which was like a crispy deep fried noodle that would soften as it sat in the sauce. The golden lava buns were sweet and rich and perfect for dessert.

After visitation for a beloved family member while in New Jersey state, my party arrived super…read moreearly and waited 1.25 hour for opening on a Saturday. We were second standing outdoors waiting in this big fat long line. Immediately upon opening for the day the line nearly forced entry near stampede and this cafe was immediately packed to full occupancy of patrons with free seating. The Yelp reviews are accurate and truthful. The food is great. This is a small cafe with only approximately eight tables. I do not recommend large parties of five and greater. It is no-frills, but not exactly "hole in the wall" type that lack in aesthetics for upscale lavish atmosphere but the deficiency is resolved in the food quality. There is one sole functioning restroom in the whole business, ergo, stand in line and wait. We entered hungry in a lugubrious sense of deep sorrow, but exited hunger pangs fulfilled. When exiting upon completion of our lunch meal, there was a line that quickly formed outdoors waiting. Unfortunately, access to this cafe in Edison, NJ is by car only and there is a free parking lot that is shared with neighboring businesses located in a small shopping complex. There are no business cards, and no takeout menus available. Customer service is efficient as the staff worked methodically hustling busy to take orders and fulfillment. Our male waiter was attentive to respond to our inquiries and make suggestions based on our desires. I was able to keep the sales receipt. Price is in the rationale realm of stagflation totaling $41.75. Nota Bene: No table hibernation as the table turnover is fast pace with a line overflowing outdoors which cannot interrupt the flow. My foodie synopsis: Pork steam soup dumplings, 6 pcs, siu2 lung4 baau1, 小籠包, $8.75 Very juicy, flavorful and great. It was served piping hot. This is my favorite default dish for every visit at any Shanghainese ethnic cuisine. However, there were no serving tongs provided for this particular appetizer which is industry standard. Preserved cabbage with pork noodle soup, syut3 coi3 juk6 si1 min6, 雪菜肉絲麵 $9.50 This is a satisfying Chinese comfort food. This noodle soup was abundant with noodles, pork and chopped vegetables. It provided warmth to my very broken heart. Shanghai chicken in wine sauce, zeoi3 gai1, 醉雞, $8.95 A traditional Chinese cold appetizer, aka Chinese Drunken chicken made with Chinese Shaoxing cooking wine. It has amazing flavor and texture to be deliciously enticing. Of course, the cooking wine brings flavor to this appetizer making you want more. Shanghai pan fried U-Don noodle, soeng6 hoi2 cou1 caau2 min6, 上海粗炒面, $11.95 Abundant noodles with good consistency and it not heavily filled with grease and oil.
