    Crispy salted fried chicken
    Yongyi C.

    Come here from time to time for a quick dinner after grocery shopping at the Hmart in the same parking lot. I tried their crab roe items previous thanks to the social media hype, but enjoyed their other menu items a bit more (maybe because I've only recently stopped being allergic to crab). The salted crispy chicken was delicious and the wontons were great too! The fish soup for the wontons were very milky (reminded me of bone broth but eith fish) and the wontons didn't have too much stuffing. The bandana noodles were good too, just wished it was spicier. The restaurant has pretty good food, and it is situated in a competitive asian plaza - where there's not much car space, but numerous food options.

    Food was delicious and our server was super kind and attentive. Very calm and inviting ambiance. Would recommend if you're in the area!

    Great food. Very fast service. Warm ambience. Will definitely visit again. Crab soup was delicious.

    Crab House (connected to Fish House) is one of those spots getting a lot of buzz online, especially for their crab roe over rice and noodles--and yes, the hype is real. We got both versions, and they absolutely delivered. The roe sauce is rich, briny, and deeply savory, coating every bite of rice and noodles with a luxurious, ocean-y umami. It's bold but well-balanced--definitely a standout. We also ordered the acorn squirrel fish, which reminded us of a sweet-and-sour whole fish. Super crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and served with a bright, tart sauce that had just the right kick. Really flavorful and satisfying. They do offer a seafood boil here, which we didn't get this time, but it looked and smelled amazing at nearby tables--something we'd come back for. The glass noodles with crab, however, didn't quite match the rest. The noodles were soft and infused with mushroom flavor, which was a bit overpowering, and the crab itself didn't add much--barely any meat and not a ton of impact. Just OK. Ambience is minimal but clean. Not a lot of frills, but it works. Service was alright--not rude, but a bit inattentive. We had to follow up on rice we ordered with the fish, which took a while to arrive. All in all, a strong 4 stars. A few misses, but the crab roe dishes and that sweet & sour-style fish are worth coming for. We'll be back.

    The crab is very good and the jellyfish is nice and exotic, the coconut cold brew is kinda light but is still good and the place is pretty nice

    The food is definitely delicious and flavorful. Although the pricing is higher than expected, but it's worth a try. Besides the crab meat noodle, I actually really like the soup rice. It was sweet and great seafood taste. The service was good. Waiter was very friendly and gave some suggestions since we're first time guests there. This would be a place I would return back.

    The staff were very helpful and supportive. The food was also tasty, and very delicious. My family and I really enjoyed our ex here.

    the food is amazing, the ambiance was very welcoming. The service was very well spoken and kind.

    Attractive Shanghai style food! Didn't order the signature crab roe over rice or noodles since it is pretty pricey and I am not a big fan of crab. However those dishes I oreded really bring me back to southern China! Shanghai and Jiangsu area. Miss the food in China so much. This is great.

    Crab Roe Soup Buns. They do not need any sauce.

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.

We got the pork sticky rice shumai, pork in garlic sauce over rice, sautéed string beans and pepper corn chicken. Shumai was ok. The pork in garlic sauce had way too much sauce and was a tad sweet for our liking; it was drowning in sauce. The strings and pepper corn chicken were very good. Both had a slight touch of heat. I wish we ordered differently but overall the food was ok. Our server was very nice and attentive. We're debating coming back to try more of the menu but with so many Asian/Chinese restaurants to try in Edison, I think we'd try someplace else.

Fried Pork Chop, Crispy Fried Intestine, Fish Fillets in Chili Sauce from the mains, and Orange Beef from the lunch list. I started with Hot &Sour Soup, which was flavorful and loaded with tofu, sprouts, pork slivers and potent vinegar. Loved it! The Pork Chop was deboned and pressed thin. The result was a crisp sliced Katsu-like cutlet with nice flavor and long crunchy chew. The Intestine was also crisp and filled with green beans that mixed well with the hardened shell and soft innards. Not my fave, but my lovely partner ate it enthusiastically. The Fish and Chili was very good, with tender lightly breaded white fish fillets and red chili sauce that included small pieces of celery, sprouts and cabbage, in a large bowl. Finally, the lunch sized Orange Beef was delicious with sweet and spicy amber sauce coating the pieces of lightly crisped beef. Ubiquitous broccoli sprigs added color to the dish. Service was friendly and accommodating. David was happy to interact and talk about his business there. Red Onion is a Five Star keeper.
