    6 Piece Steamed Soup Dumpling
    David B.

    Solid Chinese food along the Hudson River waterfront just South of the GW. Their Kung Pao chicken is among the best I've had. Generous amount of chicken, savory sauce and loaded with peanuts! Service is very attentive and the atmosphere is upscale compared to most, with spectacular views of Manhattan and the GW. BYOB which is a bonus to some. We'll definitely return for more.

    My favorite Chinese food restaurant in the area! It's not like a super authentic spot compared to other Chinese places but when it comes to elevated American Chinese takeout- look nowhere else! The food is tasty, portions are wonderful, and staff are so sweet. I honestly didn't even want to post this because I want this place to only be mine but I know that's not realistic lol love, love, love!

    This place is a hidden gem. If you're looking for authentic Chinese flavors, it's definitely worth a visit. We ordered three entrées--one fish and two chicken dishes--along with sides of lo mein and fried rice. Each entrée came with a bowl of white rice, which was a nice touch. The standout dish for me was the Fish Fillet with Ginger, Scallions, and Hot Peppers. The flavors were well-balanced, and the fish was so good I saved it for last. Among the chicken dishes, we tried the Szechuan Style Fried Diced Chicken and the Chicken with Garlic Sauce. The fried chicken was solid, but the garlic sauce dish was a pleasant surprise--something new for us and definitely worth trying. I recommend pairing it with the spicy sauce they provide; it's flavorful without being too hot. The lo mein tasted fresh, like it had just come out of the wok, and complemented the mains nicely. We also ordered soup dumplings as an appetizer. They were served hot, but didn't quite meet our expectations--we've had better elsewhere. Overall, the food was satisfying, and the prices were very reasonable. Great flavors without breaking the bank.

    Decent Chinese place, I visited a friend who lives in Weehawken, and he recommended this place to try. We had a couple of dishes and shared. There was so much food that we took some home. I would go back again if that friend wants to go there again. There was an oversized parking lot, so parking was no problem, and we got seated right away. I did not notice any special decoration, but overall, it was a spotless place. People should try here if one is looking for a decent Chinese food place in the Weehawken area.

    Stopped in for a quick casual weekend lunch. The restaurant was relatively empty so we snagged a seat by the window with a lovely view of the water. Service was friendly, helpful, and fast. We tried a few of their chicken dishes and egg drop soup. It was all flavorful not too salty and a perfect balance of spice - everything you would want out of Chinese food! I would definitely come back or even grab take out- portions were very generous!!

    Yum

    Went in for lunch. I love beef pepper steak ordered w brown rice. They sent white rice. Np. The white rice could have been a tad bigger portion. But nonetheless the entree was delicious. Service was friendly. $22 for pepper steak. Not bad. Hot mustard sauce was dynamite good. They do have outside seating w a view. Parking in the center can be a challenge. At times. Over all. Very solid food. I will definitely eat here again.

    Wow! I'm speechless with this place. My uncle told me not to go, but I always say I have to try it out myself. 1) Expensive for the portion I got. 2) All one sauce. Brown sauce on everything. 3) Oily 4) I've never had brown sauce on my seafood pan fried noodles. Maybe it's just me, but that again goes back to the one sauce comment. Obviously atmosphere is great, right across from the city. Service was good, they were pretty attentive.

    The smallest egg roll at the highest price. Actually, everything is overpriced. Not as good as I remember in the past.

    The food was a hit and miss, on a salty level. The service was okay. The ambiance was great with a New York view. A little bit pricey.

    This was solid. I…read moreordered from this restaurant through Uber Eats. 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.

Not too greasy. Not too salty. Not too much MSG !!!! Sometimes the beef chunks are soooo huge !!!

    Really good takeout option!!…read more Ordered the kung pao chicken and sesame noodle with chili oil. I will say the chili oil noodles were INCREDIBLY SPICY, even though I asked for mild. Docked a star here but then again, I probably have a relatively low spice tolerance.

We enjoyed a tasting of the menu, with the appetizers including Noodles with minced pork, spicy fries, chili steamed dumplings, scallion pancakes, and green veggie dumplings. The Noodles were perfectly cooked and the minced pork was bursting with flavor. Fries were satisfyingly crispy, well seasoned, but had a kick to it, so tasted too spicy for me. Chili dumplings were filled with yummy meat, and were surprisingly not that spicy. Scallion pancakes were thin, with a nice crunch, and plenty of scallion taste. Veggie dumplings were just okay, as I found the outer wrapping to be too thick and filling to be a little bland. For the main courses, we were served pork with celery and peppers, chicken with onion and peppers, veggie noodles, and spicy tofu. The pork dish was my favorite, as the meat was tender, and full of wonderful savory flavor, while the veggies were fresh and cooked well. Service was good. The food came out quickly throughout the night and we enjoyed a lovely evening here.
