    Pickled Cabbage & Fish Fillet Rice Noodle Soup
    Cara S.

    Sofun is our new go-to Sichuan restaurant in NJ! My husband and I LOVE Sichuan food and have been consistently disappointed with the Sichuan food in NJ. We usually have to venture all the way to Flushing to get our fix, but not anymore. We ordered one of our favorite dishes, fish fillet soup with pickled cabbage, and it was incredible. The broth was tasty and rich, the fish was tender, and the soup was loaded with noodles and veggies. We were so pleasantly surprised that they nailed one of our favorite dishes! We also decided to try the beef and pickled cabbage. The beef was so tender and flavorful. The dish also had a good beef/veggie ratio. The ambiance is also very nice and upscale. This was one of our first restaurant stops with our new baby, and we were seated in a nice, quiet corner. Our server was incredibly polite and even offered to help us when the baby started getting fussy. Overall this was a great experience.

    Tofu and meat sauce rice noodle

    We came in here on a Saturday afternoon. It was busy but we got seated quickly. You can cab the menu using the QR code and then the waitress will take your order. The restaurant was clean and bright. Perfect for 2 people but they have booths as well for larger groups. We ordered the tofu and meat sauce rice noodle, stinky tofu, and the Berkshire pork and fried egg! All of it was excellent, especially the Berkshire pork. It's all spicy food, but not too bad. We'll definitely be back!

    All taro, very few pieces of spare ribs.
    Amy Y.

    Noodles here are great. I would avoid the taro and spare rib dish. It's 90% taro and 10% ribs. Unless you love taro, skip this dish if you want meat and get the sweat and sour pork ribs instead. Tip: also on uber eats it says they have sweet and sour pork (but they don't) so make sure you order the sweet and sour pork RIBS which they do have!

    It's been a while since I've been to an authentic Chinese restaurant in north Jersey! I came here on a Tuesday night, and there was no wait for a two-person table. The vibes were really cool; I loved the warm lighting and modern, cozy interior. We ordered the Beef Brisket Noodle and Ground Pork and Fried Egg Noodle, they were both amazing-- so flavorful and authentic! My beef was perfectly tender, and the spice was pretty mild. We also ordered the Tomato and Eggplant, holy sh*t it was so saucy and flavorful; it tasted just like how my dad would make it at home. I would definitely come here again. The only reason I took off one star was bc my dish was really salty; but overall, highly recommend for anyone in the area craving authentic Chinese food.

    Stinky Tofu
    Katrina T.

    Some great Chinese food with stuff that's hard to find in America. I actually found this as a Google Ad when looking up food so it was rly just luck. When I saw they had stinky tofu I was immediately sold. Despite this, if you look up stinky tofu and you're not specifically next to summit or in summit you won't find it that way. Anyways, the stinky tofu was sooooo good. It tastes exactly like the ones in Changsha China, possibly even stinkier (a lot of the main stream places weren't that stinky :(). I was so surprised, it's faint but definitely closer to the taste of Taiwan's stinky tofu but with all the yummy sauces of Changsha stinky tofu. I've been on the hunt for truly stinky stinky tofu and this one hit the spot. It was so good I had to get a second one. The rice noodles were also good. The egg was very jammy. The soup dumplings were pretty yummy as well. The shop is also very cute, it reminds me of the mall restaurants in China. It's in a nice area in Summit too so you can go shopping, get cream, or anything afterwards.

    Food is delicious, the service is top notch and the ambiance is super clean,classic and chic. A beautiful restaurant to stop by. Love the attention of the details and how nice the staff of this location are. Their beef briskets soup is the ultimate holy grail so delicious. Popcorn chicken was a wow moment and my husband loves the eggplant and tomatoes casserole dish.

    Shrimp Fried Rice
    Stephanie L.

    This place is so cute!! I would say the dishes they serve here are pretty authentic and I enjoyed all the apps I got, but was not blown away by the entrees. For apps, I tried the cucumber salad, popcorn chicken, and the pork soup dumplings. The popcorn chicken pieces could have been a little bigger. For my entree, I had the beef brisket noodle soup. This is one of their most popular items, but for me I felt like it was way too salty. My party also tried the mapo tofu which was a big hit and a great vegetarian option. The shrimp fried rice was good, but also nothing extraordinary.

    Awesome place Love their cold noodles and their popcorn chicken Also good tea and kids noodles with bone broth

    Rice noodle with beef and onion
    Priscilla P.

    The fish with green peppercorn was a true highlight here. Fresh, flavorful, unique for this area, and authentic. It was a little small for the portion size, but will definitely get this again. The beef noodle was also very tasty, but had so many onions it was a little overpowering.

    This isn't Americanized Chinese food; it's an authentic Chinese restaurant with delicious food. If you can handle spicy food, I highly recommend it!

    34 Maple St, Summit, NJ 07901Sofun Noodle Bar is a lovely spot with a clean vibe and approachable dishes. We tried several items: spicy trotters, mashed eggplant with century egg, and cold rice noodles. Everything was enjoyable, but don't go in expecting authentic Hunan food. It's Chinese-style with some chili kick, but the soul of true Hunan cuisine isn't quite there. Still--solid option if you're in the area.

    Garlic Cumin Spare Ribs 蒜香孜然排骨

    Everything we had was delicious. We got garlic cumin spare ribs, crispy beef, black pepper beef fried rice noodle, Berkshire pork & fried egg, beef & pickled pepper rice noodle, cucumber salad, and for dessert we had a coconut mango mousse. My personal favorites were the spare ribs and the black pepper beef fried rice noodle

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!

I came here on a sunday for the dim sum abd it was quiet, but if you place an order in it comes out fresh. The shrimp rice rolls are soft and succulent, the shrimp being very large.

Ordered chinese broccoli on the side, very well done. And of course, we always have hot tea on standby pairs well to wash down all the salt.

The exterior architecture is stunningly authentic, channeling a traditional aesthetic complete with a beautiful outdoor fish pond (no, you cannot order them for dinner, though don't quote me on that because I didn't actually ask). Upon stepping inside, you are greeted by an inviting, ornately decorated space. It feels a bit vintage and dated in the best way possible, offering a unique character that modern, cookie-cutter spots just can't replicate. We were seated promptly at a table adorned with actual fresh-cut flowers--a beautiful detail that immediately separates this venue from places utilizing tacky plastic alternatives.The service here is absolutely impeccable. The server, the manager, and the support staff operate as a highly attentive, deeply friendly team. We began with appetizers: a simple vegetable roll for my girlfriend which she declared was absolutely amazing, and the boneless spare ribs for me. While boneless ribs are an absolute staple on any Chinese takeout menu, I have never had a local version execution this elite; they were perfectly lean, deeply flavorful, and entirely free of the typical fat pockets you usually find elsewhere. For the main course, my girlfriend (who doesn't eat meat) ordered the tofu and mixed vegetables blanketed in a rich brown sauce with a side of brown rice. She rated it as one of the best variations she has ever encountered, noting that the kitchen's flavor balance was so dialed-in that it required zero corrections from additional soy sauce, salt, or pepper. I opted for the General Tso's Triple Fragrance, featuring a massive, premium protein trifecta of chicken, beef, and shrimp tossed with fresh vegetables and brown rice. It was extraordinary. Hunan Taste simply does not belong in the same conversation as your standard neighborhood joint; it operates entirely in a class of its own. We will absolutely be back, and it definitely won't take another five years.

First I'd like to say how friendly everyone was from the moment you walk through the door. I'm still shocked at how quick the service was. They were on it. As a vegetarian I'm aware I may eat boring things but I still like them to taste good. I got the mixed veggies in brown sauce. It was flavored so well it needed nothing. I also got a spring roll which was great. My boyfriend started with the boneless ribs which he said were the best he has had. That says a lot since he is picky. He also said the same about his General Tso's Triple Fragrance . Nice sized portions as well. You will leave satisfied The food, service and ambiance lived up to the recommendations.

Both the dim sum menu and a lunch menu with standard Chinese restaurant fare were available. My party got the general tso's chicken from the lunch menu, and it was exceptional. Good-quality white meat with just enough spice. Heads up, though, the lunch dishes don't come with rice, so order that separately. From the dim sum menu, we ordered braised tripe with ginger & scallion, fried shrimp rolls, shrimp dumplings, steamed chicken buns, and crab meat soup dumplings. The braised tripe was a standout. It was cooked in a light yet flavorful sauce of ginger and scallion with the tripe's own broth. The delicateness of the sauce worked perfectly with the tripe. The dumplings were all great, especially the soup dumplings. The steamed chicken bun was the only thing I'd skip. It was on the heavier side, and the filling was just okay. The bill came out to about what I expected for the amount of food we ordered--$65 before tip. The service was friendly, and taking our order and getting the food was quick. After the food arrived, though, it was a little difficult to flag down a server to order more and later to get the check. Still, it was understandable given how busy they were, constantly collecting orders and putting out food. Overall, Canton Palace is a great find for anyone looking for this style of Chinese food outside of the usual New York neighborhoods.

We went for the first time Sunday at like 3pm? Full. Take out orders flying out the door. It's a cute place. Standard strip mall aesthetic. But they do have a window where you can see them hand pulling the noodles. That's right, hand pulling the noodles which is the main attraction. The food is from the North Western part of China near Pakistan so there are some Indian influences like their Cumin lamb and pulled noodles one of their most popular dishes. But I'm getting ahead of myself. With my vegetarian wife who as usual ruins everything by insisting we order vegetarian appetizers. Scallion pancakes were delicious. No pictures because we ate them immediately. Pan fried dumpling. 9 of them. That's a big portion. And it was like 9-10 bucks? They make their own dumpling wrappers, their own dipping sauces. Dumplings were very good. You could really taste the vegetables. Focused on the quality of the ingredients. My wife had the hand pulled noodles in hot oil. Marked spicy it was American spicy. Did not blow your head off. O enjoyed them. They give you a pair of scissors. Because it's one long noodle. Do not use them on your birthday. More on that later. I had the aforementioned cumin lamb and pulled noodles. I liked it but it was overwhelmingly cumin flavored which obviously is the point of cumin lamb. I'm not saying over seasoned I'm just saying it announced itself as this is cumin lamb. Period. We also had bubble tea! How fun is that? My wife had taro which they made with non dairy milk for her. I had pomegranate with exploding bubbles. Never had those before. Also super fun. They did not explode in an American way or even a Chinese way as both countries let's face it are pretty well known for making things explode. No in a pleasant way. Waitress was delightful we had obviously a long conversation about the food and the restaurant. The scissors are for Americans who share their food. In China you would eat the noodles slurp them without cutting them because eating long noodles especially on your birthday is supposed to promote a long life. We did not learn this until after cutting my wife's noodles. It was her birthday. I will miss her but also look forward to meat based appetizers. One door closes and all that. They also own the bakery a few doors down. Very light chiffon style cakes. Not too sweet. Chocolate Oreo cake. I asked if that was very traditional. Oh how we laughed at my hilarious joke.
