We got the Tea Smoked Duck, Spicy Crispy Fish, Ma Po Tofu and Tasty Flounder Fillet - the spice was strong but so flavorful and not overpowering. The cold lightly pickled cucumbers are a great fresh counterbalance to the warming spice. Highly recommend - oh and the kids ordered regular standard Chinese dishes like General Tso and chicken and broccoli and loved them as well.

For appetizers we got the spicy pork soup dumplings, the crab roe soup dumplings, dan dan noodles, and chongqing noodles. For the baby, we got the shrimp lo mein, which interestingly used udon noodles. I'd pass on the majority of these appetizers my next visit, but they weren't bad, just not the best. For entrees, we got the crispy fish dry pot, shredded beef w. hot green pepper, crispy volcano tofu, braised fish w. chili sauce, and sichuan lamb. My favorites were the crispy fish dry pot and braised fish with chili sauce. Portion sizes for the price are huge. I would definitely return.

Today's mini-adventure brought us back to a local gem, Hunan Taste in Denville, and I am genuinely…read morequestioning my life choices as to why it took me five long years to return. 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.

I have never been to this restaurant but was told it has some of the best Asian food. I can tell…read moreyou it didn't disappoint. 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.

Let me get one thing straight. Shan Shan Noodles doesn't care about this review. They don't care if…read moreyou come. Why? Because they are busy AF. They are buzzing. 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.

The outdoor seating overlooking the lake is absolutely beautiful and easily the best part of the experience. Unfortunately, the scenery ended up being our entertainment because the service certainly wasn't. From the moment we sat down, everything moved at a glacial pace. It took forever to order drinks, food, and dessert. Somewhere along the way, our server managed to bring the wrong meals, completely forget one person's meal, and then act annoyed when we politely asked where it was. Impressive...just not in the way you want. By the time we finished eating, we waited another 30 minutes just to pay the bill. Ironically, before anyone could process our payment, a staff member came over and rather obnoxiously told us we needed to vacate the table because we were done. We explained that we'd love to leave...just as soon as someone actually took our credit card. That's when the owner arrived--with attitude instead of an apology. As for the food, six people ordered six different meals, and only one person thought theirs was okay. Those aren't great odds. Dessert didn't improve things. The lava cakes arrived cold (apparently the lava was on vacation), the presentation looked like an afterthought, and we were told there was no coffee available--even though we could literally see other tables enjoying coffee. Maybe it's a secret menu item? It's a shame because the location is stunning. With better service and better food, this place could be amazing. Until then, I'd recommend grabbing a seat outside, enjoying the lake...and lowering your expectations. My ratings: * Location & View: * Service & Professionalism: If negative stars existed, they'd have earned them. * Food: * Patience Required: One final disappointment--there were no fortune cookies. So, allow me to provide the fortune you never received: "Fortune says: Go somewhere else to eat." That's one fortune I feel pretty confident will come true.

This time went with the hot and sour soup (always delicious), scallion pancakes, spicy smashed cucumbers, wontons in chili oil, Mongolian beef, and string beans in garlic sauce. About $94 (not including tip) for all of it. We ate about half and will be able to have a full second dinner with the leftovers. Can't recommend this spot enough.

I recently went back to Hunan Taste for the first time in several years, and, sadly, my experience…read morewas not as enjoyable. The restaurant's dining room was still spacious and nicely adorned, and they even had a lovely outdoor patio, though it overlooked an Acme parking lot. Our server was a delight and completely went above and beyond for us. The food, however, was mediocre. The Pork Soup Dumplings were our favorite item, as their broth and meat were extremely flavorful. However, about two of the six had holes in them, so some of the soup had escaped before they were even removed from their bamboo steamer. The Spicy Chicken Dumplings came in a generous portion of ten, but the fiery poultry inside had a strong "chicken" flavor, if that makes sense. Lastly, we had the Chicken Chow Fun, which was extremely bland and full of gummy noodles. That chicken was tender and had a better flavor, though. I just looked back at my last review to see that we had ordered the same noodle dish previously, and, while it similarly had very little sauce on it, the plate had been much more enticing back then. I also saw a bunch of gnats flying around near our table, which was not appetizing, but in fairness, it was a very hot evening. Despite our mixed experience, the dishes being delivered to neighboring tables all looked amazing. I would like to think it was just an off-night and would be willing to give the place another shot.

From what we have been able to tell, there are very few good Chinese restaurants in Bergen County,…read morebut we finally found one that we were impressed with. The name of T.S. Ma Chinese Cuisine was certainly unique, but the positive reviews and delicious-looking pictures convinced us to try it for a takeout dinner. The woman that answered the phone was friendly, professional, and a complete joy; we had a reasonably large order and she coordinated it with easy accuracy. When we arrived at the place to pick up our goods, we saw that the restaurant had a spacious room dedicated solely for to-go orders, as well as a modern dining room for those deciding to eat there. The place was spotless and even the takeout area was bright and welcoming. Our ride home consisted of about 20 minutes of driving time, as well as another 20 or so minute stop at the supermarket, but the food was still warm by the time we arrived! We unpacked the sturdy, insulated bag they had provided and were happy to see that our dishes all arrived as requested and in generous portion sizes. We started by sharing a few items, like a quart of the House Special Soup, which included shrimp, white meat chicken, and pork with mixed vegetables in a chicken broth. The strands of pork were a bit chewy, but the chicken and jumbo shrimp were tender. The broth was flavorful, but light on the sodium and better with a dash of black pepper. We also divided up the Mu Shu Chicken with chicken strips, cabbage, and egg that we were to wrap in pancakes with sweet hoisin sauce. The pancakes were fresh and held up even when they were stuffed with the warm filling and heavy sauce. They tasted like they were handmade and not from any sort of package. The actual chicken mixture had a slightly burnt flavor, but was otherwise delightful. The only issue was that there was so much stuffing and only four pancakes. We probably could have used six to eight instead. Lastly, we shared the Chicken Lo Mein, which needed more chicken and some vegetables, as it was mainly noodles. It was richly flavored and not at all greasy, though. We then each had our own entrees. I opted to get something from their "Steamed and Grilled" section of the menu. My Steamed Shrimp came with a wide selection of vegetables, including Chinese cabbage, napa, jicama, broccoli, carrots, string beans, and snow peas. The vegetables were all crispy and fresh, and the shrimp were plump and delicious. I got it with a "light" spicy garlic sauce on the side, which apparently had no cornstarch in it. The sauce was very thin, so I assume that was, indeed, the case, but, despite being heavily wrapped, a good portion of the sauce had leaked out into the bag. I will say that the small drop I tried had a nice heat to it. I also sampled a bite of someone else's same version of the dish that had been sauteed and not steamed, and thought it was spicy and well-cooked. Someone else in our group had ordered the Shrimp with Honey Walnuts, not realizing that the shellfish would be fried and the sauce mayonnaise-based, so she was not thrilled, but that was not the restaurant's fault. However, she did mention that she thought it was bland. Despite her main dish, we all though T.S. Ma Chinese Cuisine did a nice job with our meal. Everything was lightly salted, not too greasy, and with enough flavor to keep it interesting. Plus, the staff even made little bags for each of us that included a fortune cookie, sauce packets, and plastic silverware; it was a very cute touch.
