The chef takes no risks or attempts to incorporate modern Chinese ideas, but that is fine. If you want that, go on a train and head to Flushing.

When we were seated at a round table, the chairs were very low compared to the height of the table. I felt like I needed a booster seat. We asked to be changed to another table but were not accommodated. When we ordered our drinks, I asked for a frozen daiquiri. The waiter came back and said they cannot make it. For 8 of us, we ordered soup, 4 egg rolls and 2 portions of spareribs. All came out delicious. We then ordered 2 shrimp with lobster sauce, steamed beef and vegetables, fried rice. The food was cold! When we called to make a reservation, they told us that 7:00 was available, so we took it. Now comes the interesting part. By 8:30 the restaurant was just about cleared out and we were just ordering our dessert. They started washing the floors by us with ammonia! I don't care if they clean the tables and start to reset them for the next day, but floors with a mop and ammonia? I know it was a holiday week and they were busy and overworked so I will probably give them another chance.

Hot and sour soup was hearty and spicy and had a subtle umami I could not put my finger on, but tasted great. Egg foo young pancakes were not as "burnt stringy" as I like them, but were firm and had a great taste with the brown gravy. Moo shoo chicken had a good amount of chicken, pancakes were tasty and had a very delicious, light sauce. Vegetable fried rice was good, It was the yellow, saffron type rice and had a good taste. Overall, the amount of food was substantial. Double bagged. Very good value for the money. Since China Moon in Red Bank closed we have been searching for a good Chinese take out. Well, we found it!

This used to be our go-to Chinese restaurant whenever we're in town; however, sometime during the…read morePandemic the ownership changed. 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.

We decided to come here one day after work. There were a couple of tables occupied but it's mostly…read moretakeout. The restaurant is medium in size, with bright orange walls, framed art pieces adorning them, and booths lined up against them. Tables seating up to 4 people sit in a row in the middle as well. We were seated at a booth. We ordered the following: #717 - rice cake Shanghai style. This was the best item in my opinion. The rice cake was nice and chewy. #925 -braised whole fish with hot sichuan bean sauce. We were told that this will take 25 minutes to cook. Hubs liked it a lot. I thought it was ok but I felt that the fish was hard. #933 - short rib and bitter melon in black bean sauce. This was disappointing because the bitter melon was hard and barely cooked. There were only a couple pieces of the melon. It's also not short ribs and hubs was disappointed about that. It was actually spare ribs. They also put sweet potato noodles underneath the casserole to make it look like the entree was bountiful. Guess they're trying to save money. #S12 - Thai style hot and spicy basil chicken and shrimp. This was daughter's favorite dish. She thought the shrimp was nice and soft and the chicken was nicely cooked. There were lots of fruit flies and they were getting annoying because they were hanging by our table the entire night. Daughter figured out that they were attracted to the decorative carrots because it was marinated in vinegar. We moved it out of our way and it was ok after that, but we didn't realize it until we were midway through our dinner. The fruit flies were hanging on the wall by our booth. This is one of the reasons I don't like to sit at a booth. Flies and fruit flies are attracted to booths and don't move away. Note to self, do not sit in a booth if there are tables in the middle of the restaurant. We came here almost 10 years ago and liked it a lot. I've been wanting to come back here for a while. I was pretty disappointed this time. Don't think we'll be returning.

All delish! I think I've been going there long enough as to where they probably know it's me when I call in an order. Highly recommend for authentic Chinese food.

The texture combination of silky wrappers and bold sauce made it an unforgettable starter. Beyond the appetizer, the restaurant offered a warm atmosphere and attentive service that made the dining experience even better. The presentation was thoughtful, portions were generous, and the flavors tasted authentic and carefully prepared. If you enjoy dishes with a little spice and a lot of flavor, the wontons in chili oil are absolutely worth ordering. I would definitely come back just for them.

Glad I made a reservation via Google Assistant b/c it was a full house plus tons of people waiting (1hr) for their takeout orders. Great sign! We ordered quite a bit for 3 of us b/c we're excited to try them out. We loved them all especially the wontons in the authentic sauce as it should be (not in sesame or peanut sticky sauce), the salt/pepper chicken as how I remembered from back home, the delicious noodle soup with tender beef and tendon, and the flavorful black bean fish. The restaurant is nice and clean. They're busy but the kitchen was pretty quick. The waitress brought out the dish as it's done, not waiting to serve all dishes at once. We actually preferred this way. The wait staff were attentive and friendly. We really enjoy our dinner. It's less than 30 min for us; we will definitely return to try some Sichuan dishes.
