Excellent Chinese restaurant that received Michelin level recognition - not sure about the Star(s),…read morebut definitely a highlight and in 2022 a Bib Gourmand designation (an award given by the prestigious Michelin Guide to restaurants that serve exceptional food at moderate, budget-friendly prices). Their soup dumplings are impeccable and I would say their egg custard with black truffle is the best I've ever tasted. They also have a tangerine pu'ar tea they serve with an ornate glass teapot and they rest it on a heater with a candle. Their peach gummy tremella dessert (sort of a health/beauty food served chilled or hot) was also quite good. Exceptional and very attentive service, and the interior is very stylish, well-decorated and chill. The restaurant is also a chain with locations in NY & NJ including Flushing, Long Island, and Manhattan in NY as well as Jersey City (this one) and Fort Lee. Highly recommended!

It was empty…read moreand the girl serving us was the only one there and didn't really provide us with customer service. We had to wait 15 minutes just for our sodas. The dishes are very unique in cultural sourcing - it's not what you expect of a regular Chinese restaurant. The servings are HUGE and good for 2 servings. The ambiance is not that great even though there's a big space and there was a lot of junk sitting around the place like extra stock of drinks and boxes all over the place. I don't think people really eat-in here. When I did takeout, it was still not worth the price of other similar restaurants in the area. Also this place doesn't have combinations sold together -- you have to buy rice on the side for EVERY dish which is not a traditional way to serve each dish in general. The prices here are not worth trying it - way overpriced and overcharged! Should be more affordable since we do not get the rice with the combination plates.

This was one of the best Sichuan restaurants I have tried in New Jersey. We ordered the Black…read moreTruffle Beef Fried Rice, Garlic Morning Glory, Snakehead Fish Filet w. Pickled Cabbage & Chili, and Sichuan Spicy Cold Jelly. The Fish Fillet soup was definitely the standout. I absolutely love this dish and order it each time we go for Sichuan food. I really enjoyed the way 62 Secret Kitchen makes this soup. The broth was nice and tangy but the pickles still retained some of their kick. The fish was super tender and the soup was loaded with meat and vegetables. I also really loved the Black Truffle Fried Rice. The beef was really tender and the rice was so flavorful and comforting. I just wish the truffle flavor came through a little more! The Spicy Cold Jelly was just okay for me. It was brutally spicy without much other flavor. The Garlic Morning Glory were super yummy and not too greasy. The leaves were still perfectly crunchy. The inside of the restaurant is so nice and sunlit in the early evening. We sat by the window, which I found really romantic. I loved looking out to the sidewalk and watching people pass by. I also think the service was top notch. Overall we had an amazing experience at 62 Secret Kitchen and would definitely return.

They focus on sichuan and shanghainese dishes, but what really caught my attention was the FREE hanfu experience! It was pretty busy even on a rainy Monday, which says a lot about how popular it is in the neighborhood. It's located near Exchange Place/Grove St PATH! ＊Noodle w. Shredded Beef & Chili Pepper 小椒牛肉絲拌麵 $16 ** Their dry mix noodles totally exceeded my expectations! So saucy, perfectly bouncy noodles, and they didn't skimp on the bell peppers or beef at all. ＊Fried Bean Gluten 蘇式烤麩 $13 * My all-time favorite appetizer! The presentation was a little fancier than other spots, and the portion size matched the price as there were plenty of pieces of bean gluten. ＊Braised Abalone with pork Belly and Quail Egg 鮑魚元寶紅燒肉 $38 A "lucky dish" as abalone shaped like little gold ingots. The abalone was really tender, though I was hoping the pork belly would be melt-in-your-mouth. It came in a hot stone pot to keep it warm. The thick hongxiao sauce made me want a bowl of rice to soak it all up! ＊Tea-Infused Chicken with Mint 香茶薄荷葉香酥雞 $25 I could hardly taste the tea flavor in chicken, but the crispy mint really stole the show! The chicken stayed juicy and tender, and thankfully it wasn't too "yeet hay" after all lol. ＊Osmanthus Milk & Fermented Rice 桂花冰酥酪 $10 ** They've got many traditional, nourishing desserts, like pear soup, black sesame paste, and brown sugar fried sticky rice, but we went for floral and refreshing. The osmanthus and sweet fermented rice really popped in the milk pudding! Definitely save room for dessert.

Reiterating that this is a great value for family style. I was a little disappointed that the ho mein was not good, I usually love flat noodles :( they also literally only put beef (and onions) in the beef noodles / beef fried rice lol. The rice also seemed artificially dyed a yellow / orange hue... but I would order it again haha, along with the pepper steak and sautéed vegetables.

It is definitely suitable for a more casual date night and the service is so incredibly fast. We did family style for our meal and loved trying lots of different dishes: Cucumber Salad: 10/10, this is so flavorful and such a great palate cleanser for all the spicy food here! Mapo Tofu: 10/10, we frequently get Mapo Tofu at Sichuan restaurants, but dare I say this is the best one we've ever had? Okra: 10/10, so glad we decided to get a veggie! This was such a unique dish and definitely less on the spicer side. Green Peppercorn Chicken: 8/10, this was delicious, but a bit too spicy for me. I would warn against getting it unless you have a very high spice tolerance. Our group had an amazing time here and we can't wait to visit again soon!

The Good: The concept is cool, and you can tell they put a lot of thought into unconventional dumpling stuffings and unique flavor pairings. The Bad: For a casual dumpling and noodle joint, it ends up being surprisingly pricey.

It's a fun spot to check out if you're looking to try something different, but given the price and mixed flavor results, I'm probably in no rush to make it a regular rotation.
