    A must visit if you are shopping in Chinatown. Multigenerational mom and pop Chinese style charcuterie shop. Pork sausage, duck liver sausage, cured pork belly, dried duck and chicken. You slice them thin and either stir fry or steam for 5 mins. It's delicious and super affordable. 4 links on sausage and 2 links of pork belly is about $10. Not many shops like this left in Chinatown so go visit while you still can.

    Lap cheong $7.95/lb  (sausages) - regular, lean, liver.

    Hands down the BEST Chinese sausages I've had. My Chinese is limited but, pointing and saying how many pounds, got me a variety o sausages and lap yuk (cured pork belly). I didn't realize (based on other reviews) that they had a far wider selection. My parents and in-laws were quite impressed with my souvenir gift (I'm from Chicago). Next time, I will definitely leave room in my suitcase and maybe try some of the other offerings. Price was super reasonable (7.95/lb for the sausages) especially considering recent inflation. CASH ONLY, so be prepared.

    Got this from the store yesterday. Not sure what it is called in English but it is one of those leaf wrapped rice. The yellow kind. It is disgusting. Maybe it is our bad luck. It's moldy and smell bad. Will not buy from here again.

    I just happened to walk by this store. Turns out Chinese sausage is one of our favorite Chinese staples. There were other dried meats such as pressed duck, Pork, and other dried sausages. It was incredible to see the variety and they appeared to all be made there. My Chinese isn't the greatest and the shop keeper's English was minimal. But he helped me decide in which pack of Chinese Sausage to buy. Prices were very reasonable.

    Great place to get authentic Chinese preserved meats and sausages made from beef, pork, duck and chicken. I wish they provide samples, but you have to buy packages or lbs of their products to try. Most of their preserved meats and sausages are made in house. The staff speaks limited English, so just point and order if you don't speak Chinese. Most of their products are labeled with English, but if you have dietary restrictions or allergies, you might want to be careful. If you're making fried rice, Chinese casseroles or cooking something with meats, this place is the spot to pick up some fresh dry, preserved meats for your dish.

    Impress her with your sausages! You can even impress your mom, your mother-in-law or future In-laws with some nice fresh, big, juicy sausages. (Ok, stop snickering) With many Asian New Year celebrations just a few weeks away a visit to this sausage shop is an annual tradition with me. Pre-package or refrigerated are for other time. For Chinese New Year I come there for the standard "lop chong" curled pork and some "op chong" duck-liver sausage. This is the bacon of Chinese food, common Cantonese names are: lap cheung, lop chong, lop cheong. Chinese sausages most common variety is made with pork and pork fat, but you'll also find other varieties made with duck liver and beef. The taste of the cured meat is a sweet-salty flavor. The liver sausages are the dark ones. At $5.95 per pound it is cheap. So give the best sausage you can give! from Sun Ming Jan Chinese Sausages Shop. (Cash only)

    $1.65 for joong; your choice of peanuts of skinless mung bean. Good.

    This is a review for the Chinese tamale aka zongzi aka "joong" only. I came in one day because I walked by and saw the joong in the window. $1.65 for a Chinese tamale. They have two types: with peanuts, or with skinless mung bean. I had the one with peanuts, and was very satisfied. It's not the best I've had (my grandma's was the best), but it's good enough to satisfy a craving and definitely worth getting again. I know fillings are a matter of preferences, but this joong was pretty simple. Mine had a piece of Chinese sausage aka lahp cheung, peanuts, and a piece of fatty (but not too fatty) pork. I can't stand it when I eat joong, and they don't use fatty pork. Overall, a very good sized joong that was tasty and satisfying. My only complaint, and I know it's a matter of preference, is that I wish it included salted egg as one of the fillings. Oh, and the older man that helped me was extremely nice, friendly, and funny! FYI, you walk into this business and order the food you want through a screen window. When I went, I was the only customer and didn't have an issue with overcrowding like most places in Chinatown. The ordering area was large enough to accommodate a wheelchair and/or stroller. They sell all types of Chinese sausage, so yes, this place is kid friendly. Cash only.

    We were looking for a place that sold lop chong to make no mai fan and were pleasantly surprised to find a store that sells ONLY dried Chinese sausages/pork/pork belly. Such a gem in NYC Chinatown. They have a sliding window for when you arrive and I'm pretty sure this is a CASH ONLY place unless you know exactly what you want and can point out the item. We were in a line of 60+ and over ladies/men but were oogling all the meat trying to figure out which one we wanted. No fuss and definitely CASH ONLY. All worth it because we just cooked up these Chinese sausages and they were DELICIOUS. Steam them while you're making rice and they have that perfect salty and meaty sausage that you can chop up and eat by itself or with rice and veggies.

    I came here for lunch on a weekday with the sole purpose of satisfying my craving for kimchi stew…read more The restaurant wasn't busy, so I was seated immediately by the entrance. I ordered the stew with a side of banchan and white rice, the soup arriving steaming hot. It was a delicious, cozy dish. The staff was friendly and attentive, checking in at intervals. As part of the lunch deal, I was given a small cup of ice cream, which was a wonderful way to end my meal. The service was quick enough that I was able to enjoy a long lunch break and return to my office within an hour. I recommend this restaurant to anyone aiming to do the same, whether alone or with coworkers.

It was empty when we visited during dinner time and the restaurant was not quite new so I had to admit I was a bit worried. However, our server was amazing and guided us through what to order. My family was visiting NY so I had my two kids with me. The set menu was per person but seeing my children, the server accommodated us by allowing us to order a set meal for two and not requiring us to order full sets for our two children as well. We ordered the Chef's Tasting menu as recommended. This came with plentiful of sides dishes, a scallion salad, a scallion pancake, and a choice of stew. The pancake was very thin and crispy. I think I am used to denser pancakes. The egg soufflé was delicious, much more flavorful than others I have tried. This set came with three cuts of pork. My favorite two were the pork jowl and pork belly. We also ordered a side of corn cheese, which is always a favorite for the kids. My husband accidentally ordered a pork noodle thinking it was something else. There was so much food that we couldn't finish, so the pork noodle was not memorable as a result. The fresh rice wine was a must for us when having Korean BBQ. That and the complimentary soft served ice cream at the end was the highlight of the meal for me. I think the soft served ice cream was topped with a pineapple syrup, but I am not certain. I still think about the ice cream now that I am back home from my NYC trip. Overall . an amazing restaurant with great service and great food. See my pictures.

When we pulled up to the restaurant, we were informed there were a few levels. We went to the second floor and they were happy to accommodate us. We were rolling 6 deep and the booth was enough for us, but barely. In our party, majority of us wanted meat with the exception of 2 people only wanting shrimp and something else. We got the large beef combination platter which comes with ribeye, thin skirt, brisket, marinated kalbi, and marinated chuck flap. Most people stuck with water, while a couple got ginger ale. I ordered the soju flight but I ended up not liking it so my cousins shared it. The meal comes with different veggies as well as your choice of soup. We got the spicy tofu and split it 6 ways. The spice lived up to its name, so I didn't eat very much. The best part was meat. Despite there being 6 of us, there was plenty to go around. I think you have the option to cook it yourself or have them cook it for you and we chose the latter. While I enjoyed it, I wish there was more space. Most of the space was taken up by the accompaniments that come with it (veggies, etc), so there was hardly any room to put anything else. It didn't help that none of our dishes were cleared once we finished them and that no rice is included. Aside from that, both the food and service were great.

The effortless tranquility encourages you to slow down, enjoy the food, and get away from the everyday, hubbub. Their menu leans into fusion dishes with a nod to some of the classic home-style classics. Everything is presented with a refined, elevated touch. Here's what we ordered: ~ Tako Wasabi - 5/5 stars A fiery delight. This appetizer feartures chopped raw octopus marinated in wasabi. It has a lively zest from the wasabi and is topped with tobiko, which adds a pleasant contrast in texture. ~ Honey Makgeolli - 4/5 stars A traditional fermented Korean beverage that is light and pairs brilliantly with your meal. It is a cloudy alcholoic drink served in a metal teapot, and surprisingly, there is much more in that teapot than you would expect. It easily provides six to eight generous pours. The flavor is subtly sweet with a pleasant tang. ~ Temaki Set - 4/5 stars You can order a set of three by choosing from selections 1-17, or you can order a la carte at the listed prices. Some of the temaki stood out more than others. Our two sets included marinated salmon, bluefin tuna, spicy yellowtail, spicy bluefin, and two dynamite temaki. ~ Spicky Pork Ssam Set - 5/5 stars Truly another standout entree that even surpassed my beloved grilled BBQ bossam. You received a generous basket of assorte greens, including romaine, kale, perilla leaves, dandelion leaves, nappa cabbage, and more. It is well worth the price and makes for a fun, interactive dining experience with your family and friends. There is also various banchan offered and this time, they were beyond kind enough to offer refills. The last time we were here, we ordered just as much food and they stated they normally did not offer refills, which I thought was very odd. With its casual bougie aesthetics, this spot has quickly become one of my favorite eateries in Fort Lee-lee, It beautifully blends Korean, Japanese, and American flavors in a way that feels both comforting and elevated. Needless to say, we will be back!
