    General Tso- full size

    Ordered via Grubhub as I was in the mood for some cheap Chinese. Four dishes ended costing $45 with tax, delivery and tip. All very efficient and tasted yummy. Good local Chinese spot with decent prices.

    Great takeout and delivery Oriental joint that provides serious Chinese cuisine. Every time I have ordered takeout delivery there. They have been very consistent with the order and how flavorful their ingredients and quality of the food or dish has been. That I had the pleasure in devouring for my consumption. And I must add as well it was very tasty too. Well since I'm the eyes of the beholder and definitely the tasty taster I will admit that I really enjoy their stir fried foods. Well checkout New Jin Lin if you haven't already. I haven't been in their place of business. Just been a take-outer. Coolness. Food Service Ambiance

    Kung Pao Chicken

    Was craving Chinese and wanted to try something different than my normal new kitchen in Cedar Grove. I was looking through the menu and also wanted something that I normally don't get and this time I ordered kung pao chicken. I definitely was not disappointed the food was ordered and arrived in a perfect time and the food was very delicious perfect flavoring just the right amount of peanuts and the chicken was perfect. I also ordered a small wonton soup and the wontons were divine. Will definitely be ordering from here again

    Until today I was a regular customer. Food is good but inconsistent, SERVICE IS HORRIBLE. Delivery minimum is $10 (stated on their website) and I never had an issue with that until today. I called to place an order for delivery and was told after providing my address that it would be a $20 minimum because of the distance. My address is 10 mins away from the restaurant, which I doubt anyone decided to look up before trying to overcharge me. I then tried to place my order online through their website which I usually do and my order was cancelled 15 mins later because of "distance". I called the restaurant again and asked to speak with a manager several times and was told she "doesn't know when he comes in". Her attitude was very nasty and dismissive, and I'm almost sure she's the one who cancelled my order. So don't waste your time, there's much better Chinese food in the area that's consistently good quality with MUCH better service :)

    Ordered food delivery from here. My food came within promised time and the driver called from the cell phone as he was approaching my house which was nice. Food came exactly as I ordered it, packed nicely and was hot. Everything tasted as I expected. I was satisfied and will order from them again.

    The best chicken and broccoli around!

    The General Tso's chicken and wonton soup were not good. Won't be ordering from here again.

The restaurant's dining room was still spacious and nicely adorned, and they even had a lovely outdoor patio, though it overlooked an Acme parking lot. Our server was a delight and completely went above and beyond for us. The food, however, was mediocre. The Pork Soup Dumplings were our favorite item, as their broth and meat were extremely flavorful. However, about two of the six had holes in them, so some of the soup had escaped before they were even removed from their bamboo steamer. The Spicy Chicken Dumplings came in a generous portion of ten, but the fiery poultry inside had a strong "chicken" flavor, if that makes sense. Lastly, we had the Chicken Chow Fun, which was extremely bland and full of gummy noodles. That chicken was tender and had a better flavor, though. I just looked back at my last review to see that we had ordered the same noodle dish previously, and, while it similarly had very little sauce on it, the plate had been much more enticing back then. I also saw a bunch of gnats flying around near our table, which was not appetizing, but in fairness, it was a very hot evening. Despite our mixed experience, the dishes being delivered to neighboring tables all looked amazing. I would like to think it was just an off-night and would be willing to give the place another shot.

We started with the fried Spring Rolls, perfectly paired with a delicious and light sauce. Entrees were Masaman curry (w/chicken) and Pad Kee Mow. Both were excellent. Pad Kee Mow has this incredible Smokey flavor and was perfect vegetarian style. Meat would have distracted from the flavors. I have to comment on all the fun details in the decor; right down to the fun, Thai movie posters in the restroom, and even the little decorative tray they bring the bill on. All of it adds to the experience. Shout out to Alex, our waiter, who is very good at his job! If you find yourself in Montclair, don't miss this fun, little place.

We ordered the green curry and pad kee mao, and both were packed with flavor. The green curry was rich, creamy, and comforting with fresh vegetables and tofu soaking up all that coconut curry goodness. The pad kee mao had that smoky wok-char flavor with perfectly chewy noodles and just the right level of spice. Also loved the fresh coconut water to cool everything down between bites. Big shoutout to Stephenie, who took amazing care of us throughout the meal. She was warm, attentive, and made the whole experience feel extra welcoming. Definitely a great vegetarian-friendly spot in Montclair if you're craving flavorful Thai comfort food.

Soup was delicious i would prefer less mushrooms & more Tofu. Shrimp was the best ive had there. It was not just filled with cabbage. It also had onions, soy beans and celery I could actually see. The chicken was overcooked making it gummy. Or, maybe they cooked it at two high a temp. I think they may have prepared it in advance to save prep time. This made the Teriyaki sauce dry & salty. Chicken can be very tricky to get the correct moist texture. I would suggest trying a fresher prep. We did toss ours but, I be willing to try it again down the road. BTW please try a different company for the duck sauce packets. They tasted weird.

We ordered a Combination D, Pepper Steak & Onion Combo and Cheese Wonton appetizer. Total order including tips over $40.00. The Combo D was almost $16.00 by itself and was supposed to be of 2pcs Beef teriyaki, 2 jumbo shrimp, very small portion of boneless spare ribs, pork fried rice. Teriyaki was dry and NO Teryiaki flavor whatsoever. Shrimp were small, NOT Jumbo + Overcooked, maybe 6-10 pcs boneless ribs which were OK. Plenty of rice, but then how much does rice cost? Combo Pepper Steak---Steak was chewy and hard to eat. Sauce was bland and flavorless. Peppers and onions were cooked well. Platter was supposed to have egg roll included. Not received. The Cheese Wonton was the best part of the meal. Next time I'm in the mood for Chinese food, I'll stick to my tried and true places in Clifton, NJ.
