The Shrimp Won Ton soup is excellent. Love the thin won tons. Last night we ordered Chicken with Bok Choy and Shrimp with Lobster Sauce. The Chicken order had the rice inserted into the plastic food container. Not only did the rick take up half the container, but all of the sauce drained into the rice. AWFUL!!!!! You put the rice into a separate container. ALWAYS! And I was charged full price for half a dish. My wife's Lobster Sauce was watery. Just pisspoor execution on that dish. It may have even had some wine in it. But watery as hell. You've lost a customer. King Chef across the street will be our choice on Tuesday's from now on when Eastern Empire is closed.

Chicken and broccoli. Sauce was just ok.

Joy House and Dunkin Donuts were my only options if I didn't want to get home at 2:30AM. Even though Joy House wasn't my dream destination, I'm glad I checked it out. How seriously do they take the ribs? They hand out plastic gloves. There was a sauce aplenty but the preparation maintained the fibrous integrity of the meat. The respectably spicy sauce on the kung po shrimp was an effective cure for my cold, at least momentarily, although I would have liked to swap out some of the peanuts for more vegetables.

The gloves are for the ribs.

Menu is mostly standard sushi with some interesting special rolls, along with a couple Chinese food offerings. Sushi for most part was good, not excellent but good. Sashimi Tuna was fresh tasting. Scallion pancake disgusting. I'd stay away from Chinese offerings based on that alone. Warnings are placed on table if you don't finish food I think it's $1 per plate, $8/lb for Chinese food charged If not eaten , or maybe that was for all food. Seems harsh. When I started the pancake was disgusting they didn't bother to take it away. So can use your imagination what we did with it. Would we go back? Possibly now that we know it's also BYOB, liquor store is in the plaza.

Your average "Americanized" Chinese restaurant, really…read more The food here is exactly that - average, if not slightly below. Avoid most of the fried dishes, they don't do a very good job draining the food before boxing it, resulting in extremely greasy lunches - which says a lot, considering Chinese food is often quite greasy to begin with. The fried rice is pretty decent here, and the prices are hard to beat at around 5.35 for a lunch special (at the time of this writing). The hot and sour soup, one of my favorite soups, would actually be OK as well, if not for - you guessed it - pools of grease on top of it. Honestly, this place would be a solid 3 stars if not for the damn grease, since the food itself tastes as good as any of the other 5 million generic Chinese restaurants in the area. Aside from the mediocre food, the restaurant itself is really quirky. There's only 1-2 tables to sit at, with the rest of the front end being taken up by boxes of random junk for sale. It's like walking into a dollar store that serves food - anything from scarves, hats, batteries, bras, sunglasses, and other totally random knick-knacks can be found for sale in the front. It's... really odd. All that being said, I find myself eating here more often than I'd like, if only because it's down the street from where I work. If not for how close it was, I'd probably not bother coming back.

Avoid this place at all costs--there are far better options to eat elsewhere…read more From the start, things went downhill. We were handed plastic utensils for unknown reasons, but we let that slide. Regarding drinks, we were instructed to serve ourselves behind the register. As for the food, it was practically thrown onto the table. When we asked for dipping sauce, that too was carelessly tossed, with half of it spilling on the way. What upset me was the handling of the bill. When it was brought to me, I handed over my credit card, and it was taken quickly--no issue there. But when I received my receipt to sign, there was a section with four tip options (18%, 20%, 22%, or 25%). I asked the waiter for the original receipt to check if the 18% tip had already been included. He hesitated, mumbled something, and disappeared for a solid five minutes. I had to ask the person behind the register to bring me the original receipt before signing. Finally, the waiter returned with the receipt and a flimsy excuse, saying the tip had already been added and there was no need to tip again. This shady practice is unacceptable. The food was far from what it used to be, the service was practically non-existent, and this is the worst kosher restaurant we've been to in a long time. Anything in the area, of Deal and Long Branch is a better choice than this place. Just don't even bother here in my humble opinion. I don't normally write such reviews, but this left a bad taste in my mouth. To the owner: Unfortunately, your restaurant leaves much to be desired.

Food is very good but if you do takeout check order before leaving. They forget to pack things,…read morelast time it was the sauce for chicken dish.

Every time I go here, it feels like I go back in time and I am in China. The food is so good! No matter what I get, the food is great. The service is superb and the staff is very knowledgeable. Hands down best chicken and broccoli ever! I skip all the takeouts in red bank to come to long branch as nothing else in the neighborhood even comes close. read more

They should add another door at the entrance. We started off with Wonton soup. The flavor and texture of the meat and dumplings were delicious for me and I'm picky. The issue was the broth wasn't very hot. And it could use more flavor in the broth. Next the pan seared pork dumplings. They were delicious also and the dipping sauce tasty sweet and as it should be. I ordered the sesame chicken and it was a nice large portion of amazing white meat. As I said I am picky with texture and meat and this was the best I've had out for sesame chicken. That said, my meal was not hot for a fried dish. My dates meal was hot but lacked flavor it was like a garlic type sauce. He ordered the Bistro 3 delicacies. I still have it a 4 star because I've had terrible food before this just needs a little help and timing. I will chalk it up to being a holiday and busy. I will give them another chance though because it was a nice experience and food was worth it! :)
