    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.

    Popcorn chicken, sauerkraut fish soup, mala soup

    Incredibly authentic and flavorful! I mean holy cow I want to see their spice rack in the back! We got their popcorn chicken and it was absolutely delicious and perfect with white rice. We also got their mala soup and sourkraut fish soup and both were incredibly delicious and unique. Hands down 5 stars and will come back for more! Very fair prices and very clean. Keep it up, Nai Brother!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    House signature
    Jason T.

    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!

Depending on how big your party is, you can order a combo for 2,3,4+ people, and the portion is generous! You can then pick how many toppings you want in your broth, and what sides you want. There are 3 broths to choose from, with 2 spicy, and 1 tomato (non spicy). The toppings can include vegetables like bok choy or enoki, all the way to glass noodles and spam. My favorite sides are the fried pork belly, and fried chicken wings. They do their fried foods well, and the 5 spice dipping powder is sooo good with it. Their cucumber salad, and the black noodles are cold dishes that are light and refreshing. The noodles are a bit on the sour side, so it's great to pair if you get a spicier or oilier soup. You can also pick from fish, beef or a combo. I'm from a seafood family, but surprisingly we pick beef most times. It's soo tender and it soaks up the flavors very well. It's worth a visit! You should definitely come try :)

We decided on the small pot with beef and 2 sides special. For a combo that fed 2 people with leftovers to spare it was a good deal. The small pot is quite large. We got to choose some premium ingredients such as king oyster mushrooms and wide starch noodles. The deal came with a choice of 2 sides so we got fried pork belly and takoyaki. Both arrived pretty fresh and piping hot, not stale. The main course of the small pot we chose with mild spicy flavor. It had a good numbing spicy kick though it a hint of the greasy taste that turns me off a little bit with these types of dishes. It wasn't overwhelmingly greasy, thankfully. There was a generous amount of beef and mushrooms as well as noodles. Overall a great meal at a good price.

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.
