Then there is no real place to wait, bar is packed with others waiting. Now the positives. Finally seated the service was very good and more importantly the food was the upscale Chinese advertised. Two of us ordered the Whole Crispy Red Snapper which our server suggested ordering just one and sharing. We ordered two but it was huge. Duck Lo Mein was also plentiful and the Honey Miso Salmon was a dish not found in most other Chinese restaurants. Prices are high compared to other Chinese places but not compared to other upscale restaurants.

We shared the pork dumpling appetizers and the consensus was thumbs up. We then shared moo shu pork (yum), pavillion skirt steak over ginger lo mein group fav, basil chicken we all loved, jumbo shrimp in lobster sauce (not so much), and eggplant with homemade garlic sauce (yummy)! Plenty of food for all. We were given a large round table which was quite comfortable so we could all converse comfortably. The service was excellent as well. In total we all enjoyed and look forward to going back.

The highlight of the meal was easily the hot appetizer -- the wontons in chili oil. The delicate…read morewontons were packed with flavorful filling and coated in a rich, aromatic chili oil that delivered the perfect balance of heat, spice, and savory depth. The sauce had just enough numbing warmth without overpowering the dish, and every bite was incredibly satisfying. The texture combination of silky wrappers and bold sauce made it an unforgettable starter. Beyond the appetizer, the restaurant offered a warm atmosphere and attentive service that made the dining experience even better. The presentation was thoughtful, portions were generous, and the flavors tasted authentic and carefully prepared. If you enjoy dishes with a little spice and a lot of flavor, the wontons in chili oil are absolutely worth ordering. I would definitely come back just for them.

Kendall Park, NJ - the unassuming location of this restaurant in the corner of a strip mall belies…read moreits presentation of some of the best Chinese food I've had in NJ/NY, and in a region with no shortage of good-to-great authentic Chinese cuisine, that's saying something! When it comes to food, I never judge a burger by its bun, so thanks to Yelp for helping me find it. The sign in the window says "Asian fusion" which usually sends me running as it's often a cop-out label for bad mixed-up Asian cooking, but this is authentic y'all, meaning true-to-tradition dishes with a sometimes more contemporary application of ingredients or flavors. The "fusion" part must come from the fact that they have a small Taiwanese section as well as the main Szechuan/Sichuan menu, alongside a few familiar Chinese-American favorites like sesame chicken or broccoli x protein, so you can get that here too. Everything we ordered was phenomenal! Great flavors, generous portions, cooked with confidence and finesse. Compliments to the kitchen - they really know what they're doing. Not a single dish was lacking. They even put out peanuts at the start and serve fresh orange slices at the end of the meal. Very old school. We loved it all: * Salt & white pepper crispy chicken ("Taiwanese specialty") - well-battered and flavored, and perfectly crispy * Taiwanese minced pork rice * Chicken red curry - fabulous, with fresh vegetables and just the right balance of spice * Golden dish (fish) - very special dish in a salted duck egg yolk batter * Beef chow fun * Marinated crispy duck Wish I lived closer, but will definitely come back when we are in the area. Best of the best - very highly recommended!

The Crab Rangoons aren't the best I've ever had but good enough to cure my craving. Coming with 10 pieces per order for that price is actually cheaper compared to other local Chinese restaurant I'd say. It could be better if they fried the wontons a bit longer since it's still chewy. The Sesame Chicken is delicious! Good portion, I can still feel the crunchiness when biting into the chicken. Nice seasoning and saucy! I'd recommend it to anyone and will be back to try some more dishes!

When I placed the order it was sub total $26 plus a $4 delivery fee so I added $2 tip.. therefore my total was $32 and some change. The lady called for my card info and said the total was $35 and some change so I said there was a mistake and advised my receipt details totaling to $32... she told me and I quote "the $2 tip you provided is not enough to pay the gas for your delivery" I told her I was not tipping for gas, I paid the delivery charge for the gas. She proceeded to tell me that the delivery fee goes to the restaurant and the hung up the phone. So I called back and I asked her if she was okay and she said exactly what she said before and hung up again. So I called for the third time for clarification again and she admitted to adding an extra $3 to my order to tip the driver. I tried so hard to record it from my phone but I couldn't. But basically these people are just charging and doing whatever they want in there. I would not trust it. The food is pretty mediocre, the chicken always tastes old and I question if the chicken and broccoli is even chicken. I see the owner is responding and honestly I would love to pursue legal action because I'm pretty sure it's illegal to add more money to an order before charging someone's card. A tip is a courtesy not a privilege. But on a positive note I will say I enjoy the little ma and pop Chinese spot on Route 130 called Number One Chinese. It's really good, clean, and the husband and wife that run it are much more pleasant as they were able to take and delivery my order, even provided a free can of soda.
