Ordered the Combo Plate - Eggroll, With Chicken Fried rice and Gen. Tso chicken. Wonton Crab cheese as appetizer. The Wonton "crab" (it's imitation crab meat so it's white flavored fish meat) it's okay but better when it's real crab meat. Some had little filling inside them. The egg roll was flavorless. Cooked perfectly..I just think it needed more filling. The Gen TSO is okay. Not spicy, kind of bland. Good portion. The chicken fried rice is so bland chicken. I was expecting some actual fried rice which just seemed to be white rice mixed with some chicken. It's an okay place. I don't know if I'd order here again

We ordered the Kung pao chicken, the general chicken (extra spicy), the pork spareribs, fried chicken wings, crab Rangoon's that came with sweet-and-sour sauce and an order of pork lo mein. Everything tasted really fresh and came out in about 15 to 20 minutes. The best thing was the amount of crab Rangoon's. You get in one order it's amazing! I have everything we ordered. The only thing we wouldn't get again is the kung pao chicken. It just lacked flavor for us but everything else was soooo good. The amount of food you get is so generous. We had enough to take someone on the plane with us the next day back home. Overall, I highly recommend it and if I'm ever back in Jersey, I'll be going back.

Though the delivery time was close to half an hour, I'm happy to report the food and packaging survived the trip with little ill consequence. The beef chow fun was a definite hit. I loved the savory sauce on the slippery noodles, and there was a generous amount of tender beef throughout the container. This was a pure carb-and-protein delight. Over the course of travel time, the sauce inside the beef with broccoli became chilled and slightly gelatinous. While it looked slightly unappetizing, the taste was great. The broccoli was also well tender, which I appreciated because I'm regularly disappointed with al dente veg from other Chinese restaurants. I also ordered a shrimp egg roll, mainly out of curiosity because it was my first time seeing it on a takeout menu. While there are definite chunks of small shrimp inside, I found the actual taste to be nearly indistinguishable from other egg rolls because the filling was mainly cabbage.

When it comes to getting AUTHENTIC Chinese-Peruvian food..THIS IS THE SPOT!! WOW! the Arroz Chaufa they have there is extremely delicious...It's like fried rice but it has that Peruvian kick to it!! I recently attended a party that catered from RICO RICO and i fell in love at first taste. I decided to check out the restaurant and it has a pleasant decor and friendly service. It is family owned and the woman, which i believe is the owner, is a sweetheart!! She made sure that we got a thorough understanding of the different types of dishes they have. I had the "Lomo Saltado" which is strips of steak with fries tomatoes, onions and it is smothered in a exquisite brown sauce. My boyfriend had the rotisserie chicken with Pork fried rice and salad, which he claims was perfect! The portions are large, so you will def take some home. The green hot sauce was a bit spicy for me but my boyfriend who loves spicy sauces, bought a jar of it to take home! he absolutely loved it. read more

Once we entered, we were seated at our table; there is a good amount of seating inside. I ordered from the lunch menu, which consists of an appetizer, main and dessert. I started off with the empanada de queso which was very cheesy and tasty. For my main, I got the half rotisserie chicken which comes with two sides, I got the rice and salad. The chicken was solid and the green sauce and hot sauce mixed together made for a nice dip for the chicken. Also got a pitcher of this purple drink, forgot what it was called but it was good. For dessert I got the tres leches cake, which was the right amount after the big meal. The portion size is very big and for the price ($14.75), you cannot beat that.

Fast service because the food is already made and you can see what is being offered under the glass. So it's not a made to order kind of place. There are a few tables indoors, probably seating for about 20 people total. So, not big but big enough for us wanting to get a quick bite. Seemed pretty clean and quiet when I was there. The one thing that will annoy me no matter if the food is good or not, is the personality of the person taking care of you. In this case, I was annoyed. The woman had a resting bitch face, and seemed that she was annoyed the entire time she was helping us. Big turn off for me. This restaurant seemed to be a spot for locals/neighbors but not something anyone would take a drive to get to.
