    Chicken Vegetable Lo Mein
    Claire M.

    Honestly their food is just great. Terrific classic Szechuan food. We got the lo mein, fried rice, hot and sour soup, General Tso's and egg drop soup with wontons. Everything was yummy and hit the spot except the egg group soup, which was too cornstarchy and just not that flavorful. This place is a staple and definitely a go to if you are craving old school Chinese food.

    I would give this place 5 stars for food. It's real authentic and you can tell that they know the dishes super well. This is the go to takeout place for my Chinese parents and we also come out to dine in every so often as well. I do want to note that they have different menus for chinese and American customers as the tastes and preferences are different. Some things are special to the Chinese menu but that's only in Chinese. But I would give it a 3 for service. The day we went in on a Sunday dinner there was only one waitress waiting on like 7 tables so she was obviously very busy and couldn't help us right away. Overall it's a great authentic Chinese option if you're in the mood!

    DELICIOUS! i found this restaurant by surprise and let me tell you if you are a SZECHUAN style food fan this is the right spot everything was really tasty. I really recommend their cryspy chicken with garlic and the Szechuan wonton they were amazing. we tried the SZECHUAN lamb and it was very tender and with such a good flavor. Their service was really good and they serve you a free appetizer if you dine in. Please go here you will enjoy it.

    Excellent service, super fast service for take . We ordered spring rolls excellent, chefs special Mongolia beef, and the beef lo main all three items were excellent and will definitely make this our take spot going forward. Only four stars because of the prices were a little higher then others in the

    We loved this little gem hidden in a strip mall. We were visiting a friend in town and craving for Chinese food. We thought Szechuan Delight was just a typical Americanized Chinese restaurant we just ordered 3 simple dishes. However, the quality of the foods surprised us. The shredded beef will hot pepper & dry bean curd was among the best we've had. We loved the Seafood pan fried noodles too. Don't be fooled by the American Chinese dishes on the menu, the restaurant is authentic Chinese. And the price is very reasonable. We will definitely visit again if we have a chance

    When they got the order right, it's okay. They messed up twice of our take out orders. First time is the spring roles. We ordered Shanghai spring role and got the regular spring role. No big deal. This time, we ordered seafood and tofu casserole. When we took it out at home, it's some kind of deep fried stuff. I could not even tell what are they and threw it in the garbage.

    Yummy! Authentic Spanish food and hospitality. Went for lunch one day just by happenstance. Wanted…read moreto try some authentic dishes-- not paella, since so many places offer that. Got the soupy rice dish (forget the name) with shrimp. SO satisfying! They offer complimentary soup ahead of your entree, along with bread. It was hard not to overeat! Huge portions too, btw. Very generous. Sat at the bar. Bartender was hard working, serving all the customers who were sitting at the bar as well as keeping up with bar needs. Very friendly. Looks like the place can get busy for dinner so probably best to make reservations.

    After so many years of coming to this restaurant and loving it every single time, I can't believe…read moreI'm leaving this review. I'm not sure if it was because it was midweek or if the chef was simply off his game on this night, but the experience was disappointing overall. The first thing I noticed when I sat down was that my knife was dirty. I ended up taking another knife from a different table. The ambiance, as always, was wonderful, and there were only two other tables occupied, so the restaurant was not busy at all. They started us off with soup, and it was chicken noodle soup. I was honestly very disappointed. When I go to a Spanish restaurant, especially one like this, I expect something traditional like caldo gallego or a similar house soup -- not chicken noodle soup that I could easily make at home. For appetizers, we ordered shrimp in garlic sauce and calamari. Both were absolutely delicious and honestly the highlight of the meal. We also had to ask the waiter for bread, and when it finally arrived, we were each given one very small roll. Our main entrées were sautéed tilapia and shrimp in lemon sauce with mashed potatoes and string beans, and breaded veal cutlet Milanese with mushrooms in a wine and brandy sauce over mashed potatoes. Unfortunately, neither entrée stood out the way meals here usually do. The tilapia was sitting on a bed of mashed potatoes and absolutely swimming in lemon sauce. There was so much sauce that it completely soaked the mashed potatoes and vegetables. I could only eat the top portion of the fish. My husband also mentioned that his breaded veal was very oily. The waiter never returned to ask if we wanted anything else to drink. The water had no ice and felt warm. We also had to ask for additional bread. I'm used to bread being left at the table, not rationed piece by piece. When the waiter asked if we enjoyed our meal, I politely explained that I did not care for mine and why, especially since most of it was left untouched. He looked at me like I had ten heads. I truly hate writing this because this restaurant has been one of my favorites for years, but this visit just did not live up to the standard I've come to expect.

    My top-tier chum who literally went to the school of hospitality and I were in the mood for a…read morebougie sit-down dinner this past Saturday night and decided to try out Ocean Prime; we've had a few underwhelming dining experiences in Cranford, so we were hoping to break the streak. I'd say we were successful in that regard, and this is probably one of the top two places I've been now in town, along with Garlic Rose. Even if you didn't have access to the menu, this just LOOKS like an upper-class steakhouse - lots of darker interior colors with deliberate use of lighting almost like the aisles in a movie theater. We did the responsible thing and made 6:30pm reservations, though the restaurant was relatively empty when we first got there (it filled up for sure during our dinner). We were immediately seated and attended to, which was a pleasant recurring theme for our experience. On the booze front, we each got an Old Fashioned, which was specifically cited on the cocktail menu, and a bottle of Daou Cab Sauvignon to share (I let my chum take the lead on that selection, which I think was influenced by the strong reviews on the Vivino app - a recommend if you're into that sort of thing). The Old-Fashioned was decent; I'm always pleased when the de facto bourbon is Angel's Envy. I'm not crazy about vermouth, which I always think gives off shoe leather vibes, but I did like the smoky profile on this one. Not bad at all, but I liked the bottle of wine better. We decided to split the Grilled Octopus app, which came with seasoned potatoes, olives and tomatoes. This was arguably the weakest part of the meal. The octopus was a little tough/rubbery and the accompanying potatoes to me were very much needed and better, frankly, than the designated star of the show here. I'm not an olive person but my chum's comment there was they were too overwhelming, taste-wise. Noted. We also got a side of parmesan truffle garlic steak fries, which I didn't have too many of because I was distracted by all of the other options on the table, but would totally get again. For entrees, it felt morally proper to hit up the cattle (when in Rome). I went with the Braised Short Ribs, which is one of my go-tos if it's on the menu. Pretty good - VERY tender and literally falling off the bone. I'd say about 20% of it was too fatty for me, and I pawned that section off on my chum, but the other 80% was primo. She got the Filet Mignon Oscar style (which my computer wanted to autocorrect to Oscars, thinking it was the umpteenth time I was typing something about the Academy Awards), and was very pleased by it. Not mindblowingly amazing but solidly above average across the board. I'm not sure why we ordered dessert at this point other than to ensure I had something else to munch on the following day, but we did that too. I got the Cheesecake w/ Marionberry Compote. This was just okay for me. Taste-wise, the cheesecake seemed a little off for my palate; maybe a little too tart? It didn't seem as milky as other cheesecakes, which doesn't necessarily mean it was bad, but wasn't my kind of cheesecake. The compote was also just okay, both in the moment and as a leftover the following day. Maybe I'm just used to getting this dessert with strawberries and compotes that are similar to that type of fruit, but I just didn't think the compote and cake meshed as well. Debatable though. There's room for improvement but this is a strong entry in the Cranford gastro scene, such as it is.
