House Signature Chinese Sauerkraut Flavor (Spicy)

Bevano L.

Got their House Signature Chinese Sauerkraut fish and their braised pork belly. They are both flavorful and nicely done. Portion wise the pork belly is a little smaller than what I expected, which makes it expensive for its portion. For the Sauerkraut, you may want to add vegetables as their accompaniments are more for flavoring purposes. They charge 3% if using credit card and I think their tip recommendation is applying the % based on the total cost, including tax and credit card fees. So be mindful about that

It was mediocre, unfortunately. I really wanted to enjoy the sour and spicy fish dish but it packed fish meat, and the flavor was more sour than anything. Got a side order of their popcorn chicken, very delicious! Unfortunately though, it came after the fish dish, so it wasn't exactly an appetizer at that point. The place is very clean and quiet, when we went, there were only two other parties, it was not packed at all.

Addictive! Salt Pepper Fired Fish Fillet is 5 out of 5 stars.

Hubby was in the mood for Chinese food, so I used my trusty Yelp to find a place we hadn't visited and found Nai Brother in Edison. The area looked familiar to us, and we realized it was the space next door where Tiger Sugar had been when it first opened before moving over into H-Mart, in Edison. After eating here, I feel this place is a true hidden gem at a very reasonable price for the dishes. This Chinese restaurant is famous for their sauerkraut fish. I was not in the mood for that because my eczema had flared, and I could not take things very spicy, and that dish had two chilli peppers next to it on the menu. Knowing this place is known for its seafood, we chose Signature Steam Fish Dumplings and Salt Pepper Fired Fish Fillet. From their handmade dumpling section, we chose their Signature Steam Fish Dumplings. Succulent fish with thick skin was exceptional. The fish gave it a more delicate taste, and it was a perfect pairing with our main entree, Salt Pepper Fired Fish Fillet, which was delicate and moist but packs a flavor punch! The young gentleman who was the host was also our waiter. He later told us if we ever wanted to tame the spice down, they could do that for us. If things get too spicy for me, I could always order their Coconut milk beverage to help calm the spice down. Clean and nicely decorated interior. Excellent food accompanied with exceptional service, you know we will be back to try their signature dish: House Signature Chinese Sauerkraut Flavor! It should be noted that they do charge an extra 3% if you use a credit or debit card. Limited parking is in the front.

I really enjoyed the sauerkraut soup. It was the perfect amount of sourness and I loved how it came with toppings included like glass noodles, bean sprouts, and bean curd. It was very affordable too compared to other chain restaurants that serve the same dish. I was incredibly full after this meal and we still had plenty of leftovers. Service was very good and attentive as well!

Jessica J.

This place was actually so good and really hit the spot if you're looking for good Chinese sauerkraut fish. They have many different options and not just fish soup. So many options that I want to go back and try other options. What I didn't like was the owner came to scan my credit card on his machine and put the tip on 25%. Since this is more of a fast food Chinese place and lunch, I wouldn't tip that much.

Stopped by here around 11 pm on my drive home altering landing at EWR. The owner was very friendly and there was no patron in the store due to the late hour. The fish soup was tasty and fresh. Love the cucumber salad. I also ordered hot Jasmin tea. The only inconvenience is that they did not take AMX card.

This is one of my sister's favorite restaurants and I finally got to try it. The Sauerkraut dish with fish was so flavorful with a sour spicy taste. The pig intestines were dry pot stir fried and very tasty. Both of these were good over rice. The popcorn chicken here was well seasoned and very tasty.

On a Tuesday afternoon, this place is empty. Clean and spacious, decorated with large dark tile flooring, warm wood stained tables, bench seating and hardwood seats, blacks and faint gray walls, showcasing minimalist but functional dining facilities. Located in a strip mall on busy route 27, parking is limited and ingress and egress can be a challenge, depending on time of day. Food is outstanding. We ordered their special fish dumplings. Homemade, slightly thicker skins and flavorful filling. Served with a salty, sweet, slightly acidic dipping sauce, elevated the flavors. The dry pot salt and pepper fried fish fillets were perfectly cooked. Breaded, fried, crunchy on the outside but moist on the inside, salty, peppery, garlicky, it was tasty on its own without sauces. Throughout the restaurant are lighted displays of sauerkraut (pickled) fish soup, mala fish soup and green peppercorn fish soup. A must for the next visit! Note: * 3% up charge for credit card * Accepts Visa and Mastercard only

The signature sauerkraut fish and the dry pots are both must orders! The fish dish is tender with a sour and slightly spicy broth which pairs so well with rice. The dry pot is so addicting with the slight mala burn. Both dishes come with vegetables, but you can always add more things. Fatty beef is a must for the dry pot! If you pay in cash, you will get a free appetizer! Also if you dine in, you get a free dessert. The staff are so nice and check in to make sure everything is okay. It is located in a place so there are a few parking spots. I highly recommend this spot for comfortable homey food!!

My friend group and I were looking for some authentic Chinese food after a not so satisfying lunch nearby. I've had Nai Brother on my list for awhile so we decided that it would be a good time to try it. Upon entering, there is an ample amount of space. The decor is bright and light. There's also plenty of space for larger parties. We ordered the Popcorn Chicken, Fries and Beef & Ox Tripe with Chili Sauce to start. The fried items were not too greasy and very crispy. For the mains, we ordered three items: a large Tomato Flavored broth with noodles, fatty beef, spam and vegetables; a small Red Pepper Spicy broth with pig intestines, noodles and vegetables; and a small House Signature Chinese Sauerkraut soup with fish, noodles and vegetables. Everything was so good and the flavors have so much depth. My personal favorite was the sauerkraut. The service is wonderful. Everyone was so welcoming and nice. I highly recommend giving this place a try!

Delicious spot in Edison for sit down dinner! I came with a party of six without a reservation for dinner on Sunday. There are some nice promos happening now, including paying cash to get a free appetizer (chef's choice), and free dessert for dine-in (pending inventory). We ordered the fatty beef dry pot and house signature flounder. Both were delicious, but the sauerkraut fish really takes the show! The broth was delicious and flavorful, and the fish was perfectly cooked and tender. The price for the sauerkraut fish was also very reasonable, $15 for an individual. The dry pot was good but not as standout. It isn't too spicy, so extra spicy is probably okay to do! It was a very clean and comfortable restaurant and the service was fast and attentive.

I've had this spot on my to visit list for a couple months now and had the opportunity to visit after coming from a road trip with family for dinner today. We were greeted by a friendly worker/owner possibly and he was able to speak cantonese, mandarin, and English pretty fluently. He recommend some dishes like the soup dumplings, tripe, and chicken with spicy sauce for starters and all were delicious. The chicken with spicy sauce provided a nice almost numbing flavor. The soup dumplings were hot and packed with juice and meat. They came freshly made within 15 minutes or so. My family then each ordered our own pot - I chose the sauerkraut broth with beef and added on the ox tripe and bamboo shoots. I liked the broth as I am a big fan of sour and spicy flavors. My brother ordered the dry hot pot which includes a minimum 6 add ons. My dad ordered the sauerkraut noodle soup and my mom and her sister ordered the mushroom broth with chicken and fish. Everyone liked their dishes with their customizations and the owner was very friendly and helped provide a nice atmosphere. The portion sizes are pretty big in my opinion so you get your money's worth. The restaurant itself is very clean and spacious. There are 2 bathrooms that were very clean too, which can be a challenge I find sometimes at other asian restaurants. Overall it is a nice spot to try something new! Would recommend and would visit again in the future.

TLDR (5/5) Easily one of the most authentic Southern Chinese Food you'll get probably on the East Coast!! It has the stamp of my family members when I brought home some left-overs. They loved it even though it hadn't come out fresh from the kitchen. The plum drink is on the sweeter side but extremely tasty and worth it for those who are familiar with plum or willing to experiment. If you are looking to try new foods, whether you want a kick of spice or a large bowl of savory goodness, you cannot go wrong with Nai Brothers in Edison. Food (5/5): For people who love SPICE, it can get REALLY spicy. They have options for those who can't handle it. It has plenty of options from tofu strips to mushrooms. Chances are you won't have anything like it and it's tasty as well. So it gets a 5/5 in my book for uniqueness that matches the flavor to satisfy the palate. Especially great in the winter when it's cold. :) If you can't choose, the house signature is really solid, recommended by the owner as well. I had one drink here and it was the Plum Juice. My mother gave it her stamp of approval and destroyed it whole when i brought it back. Sooo give it a try if you want. Service (4/5): The waiters and waitresses aren't out of this world, but they do their job perfectly fine. They aren't rude and they have ones that speak Chinese and some that are bilingual. The owner is there at times and they are quite friendly! They will gladly tell you about the store and the food. Decor and Ambience (4/5): The outside is a bit hard to notice as it is in a mini outlet off the main road. If it ever gets packed you might have to park locally on the neighborhood roads. The inside is rather simple but has character. Nothing that really stands out besides the occasional decorations they place around. I also don't judge the total score harshly due to decor just because it isn't OUTSTANDING. It has a modern feel to it. Overall(5/5) The food is really good, I mean so good I'm not going to lower the score due to the other aspects despite being on the lower side. It really does provide that craving for something different. Not Americanized, culturally accurate delicious food. You won't regret it if you are an explorer of food willing to try new cultures. It's great, it really is!

Delicious food at very reasonable prices! I can be a bit skeptical of these types of chain restaurants, but this one was a hit. We got the house signature broth with flounder and the mushroom broth with marbled beef (thanks to the reviewer below who suggested it). The mushroom broth was so rich in umami flavor! The house signature was good as well, and my partner's favorite. Nothing was too salty, which is always a fear of mine for restaurant broths. Also, the service was very fast and friendly. Will be coming again soon! read more

So it's our first time coming into this establishment. We are soup lovers. We had no clue of soups options but Jay the restaurant manager helped us. He recommended the Chinese sauerkraut but with beef. Omg it was delicious. As apptz we ordered the popcorn chicken. We also ordered the stir fried roast beef. Everything was tasty. Hot tea in the beginning and natural juices made fresh. Haw juice and plum was good. Music was really nice and the place was nice and clean. Congratulations Jay thank you for an exceptional service. We will return. Good luck read more

My daughter and I were visiting town for college orientation and we found this amazing gem of a Chinese restaurant! I had the sauerkraut soup with marbled beef and a variety of vegetables and it was outstanding. My daughter had the Copper pot tomato rice soup with meat and veggies and it was also excellent. We also shared their steamed soup dumplings. We are from L.A. and have not eaten any Chinese food of this variety at home which we were told was Sichuan style. We highly recommend this place to anyone visiting in the area! read more

Food was absolutely delicious! My bf and I got the ox tail and tripe in chili sauce as an appetizer. It's a cold appetizer, and you get a very large portion for two people. I ordered the sauerkraut soup with fish and it was delicious! The soup reminds me of a much better, high-quality hot and sour. The soup was hot and the sourness of the soup was perfect, and it had a good little tongue numbing spice to it. My bf ordered the pickled plum soup with beef. He thought this was going to be more sour than the one I got, and it wasn't, but it was still delicious. read more

This place is amazing I love sauerkraut fish and spicy food so this place is perfect! The menu might look intimidating at first but ordering is really simple. You can pick a broth + protein + add ons or just choose a protein and add ons for the spicy stir fry. We got the red pepper spicy broth with sliced flounder and added on enoki mushrooms as well as the sliced marble beef stir fry. The serving sizes are pretty big -- one dish is honestly enough for two people but my boyfriend and I wanted to try a variety, so we had a lot to bring home. Both were delicious and the staff was so nice too! My Chinese is terrible but the staff can also speak english and are quite accommodating, so don't let that stop you from trying this place out. The interior is really clean and aesthetic (their bowls are also so cute). In my opinion, Nai Brother is just as good, if not better than the other local Chinese restaurants. I'll be bringing my friends here a lot from now on! read more

Came here last night with a friend. Impressions: tidy and well-lit with efficient service. Menu is straight forward, lets you compose your own soup or stir-fry. We both wanted a soup, and as it was our first time there we chose the house special sauerkraut base, but plenty of options to choose from. Double portion of flounder was plenty of food for two small Asian girls lol, and really pleased that it already comes with Napa cabbage, bean sprouts, and tofu skin curds (and rice on the side) so we only added firm tofu to it. Agreed to pay in cash so we got an appetizer on the house - cucumber in chili oil, very crisp and savory and refreshing. Soup was appropriately sour from the fermented greens, spicy but not full-on mouth numbing, very flavorful. Really amazing price for the amount and quality of food, came to $38 for the two of us after tip. Would come again definitely, and try some of their other dishes too. read more

My husband and my in-laws came to eat here yesterday for the very first time and we were pleasantly surprised. We were seated right away and after looking at the menu for a few minutes the owner came over and asked if we had any questions. There were so many options, he informed us how to order, first you choose the flavor of broth, then you pick the protein, and then there other add ons that are optional. He gave us his recommendations, I got the kimchi flavor, my husband got the spicy pepper broth, my father in law got the seafood combo with the green Szechuan broth. If you like spicy, then this is the right place for you, this broth will instantly warm you up! Everything was so flavorful and the portions were very generous and it comes with rice! The owner was even kind to give us a complimentary plum juice to help tone down the spice. It was refreshing and tasty! My only regret is not taking any photos for this review. We will definitely be back! read more

Cuzin's Seafood Clam Bar

Over all great experience!…read more Start off with the staff... Our waitress, phenomenal. Checked on us timely and wanted to make sure our son was enjoying his food. Everyone wished me a happy Father's Day. The food DEE-LISH. Portions were large. Had to take some home for tomorrow. Ambience is chill. Definitely would come back again. Slightly pricey, but worth it. Two thumbs all the way up!

Disaster for holidays- would NOT recommend…read more We had a reservation for 6:30 pm for Mother's Day, but we didn't get seated til 7 pm. They were running late since the whole front was full of people not seated. We ordered within 10-15 mins, however were told that they were out of a Mother's Day special and bread. BREAD! The excuse from a manager was that they ordered fresh bread from a vendor. What I gathered is that they did not take a look at their reservations, and decided not to order more to accommodate everyone. Mind you, it was only 7pm. The people behind us had been complaining of not getting their food, which should've been a signal. All around us, no one was getting their food, and the food coming out of the kitchen was sparse. Pretty sure they overloaded the kitchen staff, and the waiters took the heat because all I heard/saw was them apologizing for the long wait. If you ordered drinks or raw seafood, you got that ok. Otherwise, you would be SOL. We did not get any food until 8:20!!! And that includes our appetizers. Our entrees came out about 10-15 mins later because our waiter put in everything so there was no downtime. This included hungry children, which was just basically Mac and cheese, which we needed to be reheated cause it was so watery. All we got from the manager was a sorry. Even after we told them that this was bad managing of food service, number of reservations, etc. They did not offer any discount for the wait of our reservation or food. No 'hey', here's a complimentary dessert. Nothing but "sorry". Seems like a money grab that night. After spending $500-$600 on a very lackluster meal, which I feel many patrons that night felt, I would highly suggest spending your money elsewhere.

Salt Seafood & Oyster Bar

Our party was situated downstairs at a nice round table. This really helped us share the seafood tower and pass clams around. Our group ordered the small seafood tower, and it was everything I could have dreamed of. It had a little bit of everything. The presentation was flawless. I am still in awe of the lobster. Dinner was also very good. Just about everyone ordered something different, and we left pretty happy. The only issue was the music. I don't know if this is the case for the entire restaurant, but the downstairs had bouncy ukulele covers for the entirety of our time there. It was also a bit too loud. I felt like I had to get up to hear someone sitting a few people away from me, or speak too loud to for shared space because there's a bouncy ukulele covers of Without You by The Kid LAROI. (No, that's not an embellishment. That actually played.) All in all, we had a great time, great food, in a beautiful space. Natalie was a very attentive service. But please, maybe some different music?

I have no idea how they do it but their fish is incredibly silky. We got several dishes- branzino fish soup, steamed halibut, Wuva black cod trio pro, and bok choy with mushrooms. Everything was so delicious. We got no spice and no sour for the soup and I thought maybe it would be lacking in flavor, but the soup was delicious and the fish was silky. The WuVa black cod trio had so much food- fish, shrimp, chicken, veggies, and rice. I loved the variety. The steamed halibut was delicious and barely had any bones. It reminded me of the steamed fish you can get in Chinatown restaurants but way tastier. The bok choy with shiitake mushrooms was delicious too and pungent.

Steakhouse 85

I am not good with written words, but here goes;…read more This is a shout-out to Manager Monica and the employees of Steakhouse 85. I visited Steakhouse 85 for the first time on Thursday, March 19th. We all know the food is fantastic, but what impressed me even more was the employees. When I walked in, I was greeted by the hostess, who had a big smile and bright eyes. She showed us to our table swiftly, and during our time there, her smile and warm welcome continued as she greeted other incoming diners. Our waiter appeared quickly with the first question would you like something to drink, water, etc. After the initial greeting, and now ready to take our order, he excitedly told us he had the pleasure of tasting most of the items he suggested. His excitement about the food he had the "pleasure of tasting" (his words) was apparent. Also, I had the pleasure of speaking to Monica, a manager at Steakhouse 85. She was kind, thoughtful, insightful, and well spoken. I could easily see why she holds that position and could have talked to her as I would a good friend. How a great manager like Monica gets those around them to react positively is by example; in other words, it's the ripple effect. It is easy to see that she is the type of person who, no matter what she does or where she goes in life, success will follow. Also, I want to say thank you to the owner and all the managers because hiring the right employees, from the cooks, busboys, and servers, is not an easy job in itself. The key to success is not just about the food; it's also the employees who add to the establishment's success! Great Job To All Of You! Kindness should never be taken for granted these days! Frances

I can say it was cooked and seasoned to perfection. Sweet potatoes casserole who've was so good. Sweet but not even close to too sweet. The spinach was good and I did add some pepper to them. But tasty indeed. Our waiter was really good and attentive. We were one of the first to arrive as it was a early dinner at 4:30pm. But by 5:15 it was crowded and a wait if you had no reservations. Definitely a place I would come back to. I want to try the bone in ribeye steak 14 Oz. The birthday party was really God and this made av great place to enjoy it.

They now control their ordered system through QR codes and it's all completed on your phone. My husband and I both opted for a dry pot. It's $1 for the sauce/seasoning, $4.95 for each meat and $3.95 for each vegetable or starch. As you can imagine this adds up quickly. I ordered the ginger and scallion with beef brisket, pork belly, prince mushrooms, corn, sugar snap peas, and udon noodles. There were a lot of issues with my dish in particular. I ordered mild but my dish was very spicy. I can handle spice but I feel bad if anyone orders this who can't. I'll include a picture with the amount of Szechuan peppers in this dish. The menu says pork belly but what they actually mean is thinly sliced pork which is not the same. Additionally the menu indicated corn so I was under the impression I would get loose corn not corn on the cob. Otherwise, we probably only waited about 5 minutes for our food and all the wait staff was very attentive. My husband loved his dish though so we have very opposite opinions lol. I will be coming back because my husband still loved it here and I want to give the hot pot a try.

I'm a huge fan of authentic Chinese cuisine, and finding real Chinese restaurants nearby is quite a rarity. So, my family and I often go on food adventures in search of extraordinary flavors. Our latest culinary journey led us to a place that left a lasting impression. Tucked away in a charming spot, this restaurant had an elegant atmosphere with tastefully modern decor. The friendly staff welcomed us warmly, setting the stage for an exceptional dining experience. Our introduction to this culinary haven was swift. Drinks arrived promptly as we settled in. The menu featured two main categories: the delicious Sauerkraut Soup Stew and the mouthwatering Dry Pot. Customizing our stew was a delightful experience. First, one selects the foundation of their dish by choosing from an impressive array of twelve distinct soup base flavors, ranging from the mellow nonspicy to the fiery two-chili pepper spicy options. Next, the culinary journey continues with the selection of protein and add-ons. Two varieties of fish and two choices of beef tantalize the taste buds, thus presenting a panorama of possibilities. It is this facet of the DIY process that truly captivated my culinary imagination. The freedom to curate a dish to one's precise preferences and the liberty to embellish it to one's heart's content is a gourmet's delight. The sheer abundance of portions was another revelation, as my pot arrived, an expansive vessel that could easily rival twice the size of my head, an indulgence indeed for an avid eater like myself. To say that this establishment represents excellent value for one's money would be an understatement. A veritable banquet ensued, shared with my mother and husband, and yet an abundance of culinary treasures remained for us to savor at home. This gastronomic voyage was a resounding success, and I can unequivocally assert that this establishment is a culinary gem that deserves your patronage. read more

Sure! Here's a glowing review you can use or tweak for a post, website, or social media: A Hidden Gem of Flavor: Must-Try Mushroom Broth with Sliced Beef & Popcorn Chicken I stumbled upon this Chinese restaurant and was absolutely blown away by the depth and comfort of their mushroom broth with sliced beef. The broth is rich, earthy, and not spicy -- like a warm hug in a bowl. Each sip feels like it's been simmering for hours, packed with layers of mushroom flavor that perfectly complement the tender, thinly sliced beef. And don't even get me started on the popcorn chicken. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned just right -- it's addictive in the best way. Whether you dip it in the broth or enjoy it on the side, it's a perfect pairing. This spot truly nails the balance of cozy, hearty, and crave-worthy. If you're a fan of bold yet comforting flavors, this combo is a must. You'll want to come back again and again. Also great customer service! read more
