    Pork fried rice
    Erin G.

    The wontons here are homemade so I need to give them credit for making their own dumplings. The wonton soup is so good. The egg drop soup is a little too thick for my preference but I still enjoyed it. Their crispy wonton chips are just the regular bagged chips which are not what I like. I did go to a Chinese takeout restaurant that made fresh wonton chips and this place should think about doing that. It's really easy to make them especially if they have the deep fryer going all day. The pork fried rice was good. It has some crispy and more burned bits on parts of the rice which I like. The rice was brown colored like soy sauce and not that neon yellow color. The brown color means they don't put yellow coloring in it. I appreciate that. The pork in the fried rice was fresh tasting. A good stop for some takeout food and the wontons were great.

Two of us ordered the Whole Crispy Red Snapper which our server suggested ordering just one and sharing. We ordered two but it was huge. Duck Lo Mein was also plentiful and the Honey Miso Salmon was a dish not found in most other Chinese restaurants.

They have definitely perfected the perfect balance for American Chinese food and fine dining. The portions are huge, the service is quick and the food tastes GREAT! We had so many leftovers and for all of this food it was less than $90 a person. In the future, I would have gone with a larger group to split the large portions better. I really loved their skewered chicken and steak, egg corn chicken soup was PHENOMENAL. I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of gluten free options on the menu as well. Will be back!

The owner, Freddy, is very chatty and told us on weekends, they have a line for tables. His service is amazing, he connects with all his patrons, and is super generous. He brought us hot and sour soup, additional dumplings, and gave us a taste of his chicken and eggplant dish. We ordered the standard Chinese take out items--general Tsos chicken, vegetable lo mein and string beans stir fried with garlic. Everything came out quickly. The general tsos chicken could have been more crispy, but I appreciated that they weren't just half breading. The vegetable lo mein was good, but the string beans were covered with pork. The menu doesn't state anything about pork, and I don't eat red meat. I didn't want to make it inconvenient, especially after Freddy had been so friendly and generous, so I just scraped off the pork. The hot and sour soup also had bits of pork in it, though it is normally vegetarian. Wonderful service and food, just wished the menu was more clear.

That being said, the food is really yummy! I was here with my mom and we each had a hot and sour soup.

You won't regret it. It's a Szechuan style Chinese food which is spices and chili oil focus vs the more common Chinese food which is more southern Chinese style (Cantonese). Mom said they had good soup dumplings, "xiao long bao" which are steamier dumplings that have a little bit of soup in them. If you've never had them before, do not eat it all in one bite! Put the dumpling in the spoon they give you and take a small bite into the skin and suck in the soup. If you don't, you'll burn the heck out of your mouth. The soup dumplings were great. Make sure you order them right away because they take longer to cook, it's better to enjoy them first than when you're close to full because they are best when eaten fresh. The other items we got were F5 the fish fillet in chili oil. It came in a big bowl with some mushroom and cabbage and was very good. The spice is more medium, so if you can't handle heat I wouldn't recommend this dish. It was different than the usual fish in chili oil because it was a little saltier than I'm used to, but that's okay because you should eat it with white rice and there were less Szechuan pepper corns if any, which is what we prefer. Usually the peppercorns are a detractor to the dish, but that's the style. The other dishes we ordered were the eggplant in garlic sauce and scallion pancakes. The scallion pancakes were not special but cooked perfectly. They weren't greasy or burned like the ones you'd get from most places. The eggplant in garlic sauce was delicious. The eggplant is an Asian style that resembles a zucchini in shape and size, and doesn't have many seeds as a regular eggplant. The sauce is a little sweet and tangy, great over some white rice. The dish complements the other dishes well because of the contrast in flavors, so you can get a taste of all of the flavors of the rainbow. Like in most places in Jersey, it's in a plaza with plenty of parking but it's clean, especially the bathrooms, and very well decorated. The restaurant feels modern with a Chinese flair. The coolest things were the tea cups, take a look at the pictures. They were really nice!

When it comes to food, I never judge a burger by its bun, so thanks to Yelp for helping me find it. The sign in the window says "Asian fusion" which usually sends me running as it's often a cop-out label for bad mixed-up Asian cooking, but this is authentic y'all, meaning true-to-tradition dishes with a sometimes more contemporary application of ingredients or flavors. The "fusion" part must come from the fact that they have a small Taiwanese section as well as the main Szechuan/Sichuan menu, alongside a few familiar Chinese-American favorites like sesame chicken or broccoli x protein, so you can get that here too. Everything we ordered was phenomenal! Great flavors, generous portions, cooked with confidence and finesse. Compliments to the kitchen - they really know what they're doing. Not a single dish was lacking. They even put out peanuts at the start and serve fresh orange slices at the end of the meal. Very old school. We loved it all: * Salt & white pepper crispy chicken ("Taiwanese specialty") - well-battered and flavored, and perfectly crispy * Taiwanese minced pork rice * Chicken red curry - fabulous, with fresh vegetables and just the right balance of spice * Golden dish (fish) - very special dish in a salted duck egg yolk batter * Beef chow fun * Marinated crispy duck Wish I lived closer, but will definitely come back when we are in the area. Best of the best - very highly recommended!

We took out a few dishes from the new ownership and were utterly disgusted with the quality. It's been a few more years. I am not sure if ownership changed again, but we decided to give it another chance. I didn't recognize the owner - not sure if it was because of the absence of mask. But first impression was she didn't care to be cordial or friendly, just doing the basic part as a wait staff. On the plus side, the chairs and tables have been upgraded from what I could remember. We ordered our usual dishes in order to gauge the current quality. 2 staple Sichuan dishes: Kung Pao Chicken ($14.95) and Shredded Beef with Hot Green Pepper ($17.95). We also added a noodle dish: Sauteed Noodle with Pork & Scallion ($11.95). Kung Pao Chicken was rendered differently - sweeter and not as dark but tasty none the less. The Shredded Beef was also slightly different, thicker and obviously tenderized with baking soda. It was good enough. The sauteed noodle was good but it's a generic dish so no authenticity to consider. A number of deviations from prior experience. The chicken and beef dishes each only 1 bowl of rice, instead of a big serving bowl for the table. We had to ask for one additional bowl of rice. Not sure if it was missed but we didn't get charged for it. The tea wasn't complimentary any more. $1.50 for the pot. Overall, we weren't disappointed because we came in with low expectation. We will be back again hoping to see that they can at least maintain the same consistency.
