I added extra sriracha, along with a pinch of salt and extra jalapenos, then cleaned the bowl lol. Service was excellent, very friendly. Ambiance- Spacious and open. I came at a lowkey time so it wasn't crowded at all. I basically had the place to myself until another family came.

The jasmine tea was awesome. The spring roll appetizer flavors were unreal. The fried shrimp came with a spicy "duck sauce" which was incredible. The brisket soup did NOT NEED basil, lime or bamboo sprouts to add flavor! It was the most tasty brisket soup I ever had. The chicken fried rice was not your average expectation... flavor and a little heat (spice) made it slide right down. We were SO FULL we had to waddle out of the restaurant. You GOT to try this place!

My mom and I were looking for a nice spot to have lunch and were craving a nice Chinese restaurant…read more It's been so hard to find a nice place to enjoy Chinese food. This place is a gem, when we came in we looked around and saw a comfortable atmosphere it was really fancy looking inside and it was perfect for a lunch with my mom. This place would be great to take a date or go with friends. The food quality was absolutely amazing, this is the best Chinese food I've ever tasted with unique flavors I have never tasted before. The staff was so friendly and we tried their rare teas they were delicious and as a tea lover I enjoyed talking and learning about the tea and its history and origin. We had orange chicken which was so flavorful the flavors were perfect and the quality of the chicken was absolutely amazing. We tried the honey walnut chicken as well and it had a smooth semi-sweet sauce it was another perfect dish. All in all I will definitely be back and others need to know about this spot. It's one of the greatest Chinese spots I've ever been to. Please do yourself a favor and come try out the variety of flavors and ambience this cozy place has to offer you won't regret it.

I'm not usually big on Chinese food, but Hong Kong's fresh offerings have won me over. The chicken…read morefried rice has tender, bite-sized pieces of chicken with fried onions mixed in, though it could use a bit more flavor. Adding the General Tso's sauce, a honey-spiced blend, gives it a nice kick, though I expected a touch more heat. The General Tso's chicken itself is crispy with juicy pieces, and the flaky, veggie-packed spring rolls are a solid addition. The chicken wings, while flavorful, were served with sauce on the side rather than tossed, which is a personal preference of mine. The sweet and tangy sauce is good, but I think it would have been even better coating the wings directly. Inside, the calm ambiance and soft background music create a relaxing vibe. The complimentary tea at pickup and the friendly staff add a welcoming touch to the experience.

The food is very inconsistent. I've ordered a variety of rolls, fried rice, and soups. The rolls…read moreare usually solid, but the miso soup is flavorless, and the fried rice is hit or miss. The fried rice also rarely includes egg. Even when I've paid for extra egg, the amount they add is laughably small (see picture). The service is often disappointing. They're inconsistent with including sauces, and when we most recently asked for duck sauce with our fried rice, they tried to charge us. When we questioned it, they stated that they only don't nickel and dime you when you eat in. It was disappointing because even though the food is average, my family spends a lot of money here because of its proximity to our home.

Also stated with the tried and true shrimp ramen but others had beef ramen and liked it as well as a few rice bowls. All was delicious. Warm broth was awesome on a cool rainy evening.

A Burger Worth Writing Home About…read more I stopped into Elsie's Burgers & Shakes recently and went with their $15 burger and shake special, and let me tell you... this might be one of the best lunch deals around. I kept things simple and ordered a classic chocolate milkshake. Thick, creamy, cold, and topped with whipped cream -- exactly what a milkshake should be. But what really impressed me was looking over their insane list of flavor options. They have dozens of syrups and combinations available. Everything from cookie butter and cotton candy to lavender and pumpkin spice. I went traditional this time, but next visit I'm definitely branching out. Now let's talk about the burger. Absolutely outstanding. Perfectly cooked, juicy, with melted cheese, crisp lettuce, and a toasted bun that held everything together the way a good burger bun should. Nothing over-engineered. Just a straight-up great burger. Honestly, it's one of the best burgers I've had in many years. A quick heads up: seating is limited. There's one small two-top table and about six seats at the bar, so this is not a big dining room. Personally, I think it makes the place feel even more like a hidden gem. My advice would be to come here for a midweek lunch if you want to avoid crowds. What's really exciting though is that Elsie's is part of the bigger renaissance happening in Gloucester City. The town has been leaning hard into its American-Irish culture, and it's showing. This year marked the 11th annual Early St. Patrick's Day celebration, which happens in early March. The parade has grown incredibly popular -- I personally know people who travel from multiple states to attend, and it's not unusual to see the Governor of New Jersey and other politicians or celebrities show up. Along with that growth, the local restaurant scene is getting really good. Within walking distance you have places like The Bank Bar across the street, Pudge's, and City Public House just to name a few. Elsie's fits right into that momentum. Small place. Big flavors. Great burger. Great shake. And absolutely worth stopping in if you're anywhere near Gloucester City. I'll definitely be back.

Review: Elsie's - Gloucester City, NJ…read more Elsie's is a charming, ultra‑small spot with true 1950s diner character. The entire place seats only about six people at a counter with stools, creating an intimate, nostalgic feel. Service is very friendly, welcoming, and exactly what you'd hope for in a classic diner-style eatery. The food hits the mark for comfort classics. The burgers are straight out of a 50s diner playbook--simple, tasty, and made to order. Crinkle‑cut fries pair perfectly with their excellent cheese curds, which are a standout. They also offer made‑to‑order sodas, coffees, shakes, and ice cream, adding to the retro charm. A small place with a big personality, Elsie's is worth the stop. I'll definitely be back.
