    This place reminds me of the old school Chinese restaurants I grew up going to in Brooklyn in the '80s and '90s. It's not wow on the storefront or inside design and service basically What do you want and here's your order type style very bare bones transactionary But the food is good. I ordered pork fried rice and general Tao's chicken. The chicken was very good wasn't too overpowering spice-wise and the portions were very good. The pork fried rice portion of it was okay There was some hard pieces of rice in it but it wasn't a deal breaker. Overall I would go again It's close by my house and it's better than going to Panda Express

    Shrimp Mei Fun with a hint of curry sauce!

    Sesame chicken was inedible. The chicken tasted like it has been bleached. Absolutely disgusting, will never order from here again.

    It's been a while since we were last here. Hubs has been wanting to come back here, ever since…read more We got here and were immediately seated at a booth against the wall. We were given an iPad and ordered the following: Preserved eggs mixed with tofu - Hubs and Daughter loved this a lot, especially the century eggs. She said that she wished that the bowl was bigger. She was fighting us for it. LOL Grilled Stripe bass (2 lb) with Spicy tofu pudding flavor, luncheon meat, golden combination, black fungus, beancurd stick, mini sausage, instant noodles. Hubs said that he would've preferred the buffalo fish because he thought it tasted better. But, it was too many bones for Daughter and I, so he got the stripe bass instead. This was delicious! It was nice and spicy but not too spicy. Just the right amount. We also ordered white rice, but we only got a bowl and was hoping for more. They were generous with the instant noodle, though. It came in a small casserole pot. Hubs love this place. He loves the presentation of the fish with sides surrounding it in a big rectangular heated platter. There's this big wall of video going on with karaoke for those who are interested in singing. There was only one other table dining when we were there, so no one was singing during that time. Service was what you'd expect at a Chinese restaurant, quick and efficient. Will definitely to try other fish entrees when we get a chance!

The crawfish is also packed with flavor. The garlic, umami taste is well worth the effort of peeling these little guys. Service: 5/5 Efficient and attentive. Our waters were refilled promptly and our used plates were also cleared. Ambiance: 4/5 It a casual, large dining room. Nothing noteworthy minus the huge screen showing Asian music videos. Its well appointed for family or small to larger dining parties. Our party of 5 fit comfortably in the booth but there are regular tables available.

This place is a hidden gem s from outside you don't even know that there is a Chinese restaurant here . Next to LA fitness .. so u will easily miss this spot . Better to call in and order before you go. Actually their food is really good . Price point is good . Not that expensive: they also have lunch specials on weekdays . Worth it . Service could be better . The girl in the counter gets a little annoyed if we ask her some questions , especially to check if there is egg in a vegetarian dish etc. they take about 10-15 mins to cook and it is really good. Ordered General Tsos tofu and it was super delicious . They had good amount of tofu and 2 of us could eat one meal . Veg soup was also really good . Not much of veggie options though. Will surely go back and try other things . Not much place to sit and eat .. they do have some tables but it isn't too clean inside . I'd rather parcel it and have it at home . 4 stars for the food .. try it if you are in this area.

All Blue…read moreChinese Cuisine in Edison serves up authentic Sichuan and Jianghu-style dishes that instantly transported me back home! We ordered the Pickled Pepper Frog with Chicken, Stir Fry Chicken Giblets and Throat and Stew Tofu with Crab Roe. The overall vibe? Pure happiness. The Food Breakdown: Pickled Pepper Frog with Chicken An absolute genius pairing! The bullfrog and chicken are incredibly tender with zero gamey taste. Creatively, it's a 10/10. My only tiny critique is that it leans a bit salty, but it's perfect when paired with white rice. The more you eat, the more addictive it gets! Stew Tofu with Crab Roe You have to get a scoop of this. The golden crab roe sauce perfectly coats the silken tofu. It's savory, sweet, and velvety, which beautifully cuts through the heat of the other spicy dishes. I could honestly down three bowls of rice just mixing it with this sauce. Plus, the portion size is huge and super affordable.

    Decent Sichuan place by NJ standards. Ordered 3 dishes for takeout…read more Didnt like the cumin lamb which is usually one of my favorites. Won't order that again. Gizzard and spicy fish dishes were good. In fact the spicy fish was better than most other places.. the sauce they used was really flavorful. Not too spicy Dishes a little on the smaller side.

Toh aajao mere naal to Spice Culture in South Plainfield -- jahan food bhi lit hai aur vibes bhi hit hai!

Chilly Chicken with Hakka Noodles - juicy, saucy, spicy--this combo hits like a Friday night anthem Non-Veg Sizzlers -- yeh ek dum showstopper hai! Seekh, tikka, tangri -- smoky, juicy, and grilled to perfection. If you're a real kebab fan, this is your moment! Saag Paneer - creamy saag, soft paneer, and that earthy flavor that hits straight to the soul--just like home! Malai Kofta - rich, royal, and indulgent. Soft koftas in a silky gravy that's straight-up comfort in a bowl. Bhuna Chicken - slow-cooked till the masala clings to every bite. Spicy, bold, and full of depth - iss dish ka character hai!

I told the waitress, how is it possible to have bones in butter chicken - The Handi Goat Masala was not even tasty my kid didnt like it - The chicken Biryani was no different, no taste, just masala - Thai Chicken Thai Curry was again made with the frozen chicken which was not cooked right.. Overall I told the lady, for the $$$ which they charged they need to cook decent. They put the charge of Gratutity of 21.55$ for the totla bill of 119.70 $ bill was toooooooo much.. CRAP Spoiled my sunday which I plan to have a good lunch every weekend. Will never go to this restaurant. Please dont !

(the broth wasn't signature but it was a type of soup that also had mala in it) it was delicious but i am not a big fan of the numbing taste/sensation. i ended up recooking it at home to really enjoy it. i also ordered scallion pancakes and it very flaky and flavorful. the table ordered 2 sets of mala wings, a soft shell crab, crispy pork belly, two other signature mala soups, and a fried rice with added steak i believe. everything was very yummy, and the only thing i would change besides the soup would be the wings. i would try the black pepper flavor instead. the mala wings were a bit underwhelming being that we've had at least five different mala flavored meals at the table. the restaurant was a bit smaller than i expected from the social medias, but the staff was kind and very informative. i'd return and try different options!

The ma la dry hotpot was just so-so - had better flavor, this was just spicy. The shredded potato was so-so, not much favor compared to the Hot Fish version and not really sour or spicy of note. The 1/4 salt baked chicken was quite good, though. Sizzling Jelly in stone pot was not bad, either, a good balance. I also liked the peppery chicken wings. Mix of good and ok, and the crowd was waiting for seating, so it does get busy. Service was basically absent but I'm not surprised with how busy it was.
