It died down a little bit after 730 but still it gets quite good business. The chips you get when you sit down were a little stale. I don't really eat that stuff anyway. On the bright side, the sweet and sour sauce it came with was very good and the wasabi mustard had a huge kick. The soup dumplings were legit. As good as you will find in Edison. $12.25 for 6. A little bit pricier than Edison but you pay for the fact that you can have it in this area. The filet mignon with spicy pepper sauce was pretty good. Portion size is in the middle. Not too generous nor skimpy. It wasn't spicy. It came with delicious mushrooms and baby bok choy. The black pepper sauce was delicious. Similarly the pepper steak with onions was also mid on portion size and amount of meat they give you. It came with delicious chopped peppers and onions as well. Good flavor. Both of these steak dishes came with a complimentary bowl of rice. The pot of tea was also complimentary. It was pretty good tea. The service was great. Very friendly staff and they changed our plates after the soup dumpling appetizer. Sprite was only $2 and a bottle of san pelligrino $3. Good place with a strong loyal customer base. We will be back!

They are in the process of merging restaurants so we received several menus but were told that not all items were there and that there are some repeats and that all the prices were going to be different. Next, within a minute of sitting down, the waitress very seriously yelled at a young child we had with us about using chopsticks. This kid knows how to use chopsticks and uses them at home. She was excited to see them and be able to use them at a restaurant. The waitress then belittled us for allowing that. She was an extremely nasty person and ruined the entire experience. We resisted the urge to walk out and now have regrets about it. She felt awkward about how we received her criticism, so she pet the child's head and called her a pretty girl. The place is decorated with Christmas presents and bells (it's May). I wish that was the most insulting thing. We were the only ones in the restaurant the entire time. (That should have been our first sign). If you didn't want people to eat there, just close the inside and do just take out. As soon as we were sat she asked what we wanted and wouldn't leave until we asked her to. She came back with drinks a minute later and wouldn't leave again so we ordered a couple appetizers just to buy more time in deciding our dinner. She continued to belittle us and made eating incredibly awkward. We received our entree before we were done eating the appetizer, so I guess she wanted us to leave as much as we wanted to leave. The sushi was surprisingly good. Which is why I'm giving it 2 stars instead of 1. I just felt so uncomfortable eating here that I didn't enjoy much of it at all.

Dim Sum II Chinese Restaurant

Dim Sum II Chinese Restaurant is located in one of the main shopping areas of Cranford. With the…read more(apparent) loss of Avenue East, it is one of the few remaining Chinese style eateries in the area. I had not visited this place in ages. I was not avoiding it or anything, I just often passed it on the way to some other place, but recently I thought it would be a good idea to revisit this restaurant after 12(!) years of not having dined here. The first surprise was that this restaurant no longer has sit down service. It is take out out only now. I asked about this and was told that this is largely due to staffing issues. It is sad because the interior has a classic setting complete with some classic doors that have probably been there longer than I've been alive and diner style booths. It's a lovely space and having dined in it, I am sad people can no longer do so. That said, during both of my recent visits this restaurant has done some brisk take out business. Each time I went there were at least two other orders waiting for pick up and phone calls to put more in. I truly hope this is a good sign and points to this restaurant being around for a while. So what did I get? Here are some highlights: SHRIMP TOAST This is a classic Chinese take out dish that I used to have all the time when I lived in New York City. In the 90's I remember every Chinese take out style place had a version of it. However, over the years it has disappeared off most menus, so I was thrilled to see it here. Made of shrimp paste on bread and deep fried this appetizer was absolutely delicious. The bread is crisp while the shrimp paste has a meaty chew and the flavor is very savory. If you're a fan of this dish, this is a must get. STEAMED CHICKEN DUMPLINGS Very well seasoned meat inside a somewhat thick dumpling shell. You can have these steamed or fried. I went with steamed to be a bit healthier. They come with a nice dipping sauce making for a savory and chewy delight. CHICKEN CORN SOUP Sometimes you get soups like a chicken corn soup and you wonder where all the chicken and/or corn is. Not so with this one! Dim Sum II loads up their soup with plenty of corn and chicken and it is delicious. Great silky texture soup with enough corn and chicken to almost eat like a chowder. It's fantastic. BOK CHOI WITH BLACK MUSHROOMS This vegetable combination comes in a delicious brown sauce. The veggies are always nice and fresh and they use actual shiitake style black mushrooms that are substantial with a good bite. SINGAPORE STYLE CURRY NOODLES Rice noodles cooked in a wonderful curry sauce with a combination of meats including chicken and shrimp, this is a wonderful dish that you do not see that often outside of traditional Chinese restaurants. Often this dish does not have enough curry flavor or it lacks the proper amounts of shrimp or chicken. This version however strikes the right balance across the board. I've had spicier versions, sure, but overall this was very well done. I loved the food here and look forward to my next visit. I highly recommend it!

I've enjoyed Dim Sum II's food for the past 20 years. Love the chicken with broccoli, mixed…read moredumplings, and Thai yellow curry. There's always something good to choose on their extensive menu.
