    Braised Pork With Dried Tofu
    Esther S.

    Service: 1/10 The restaurant was not busy and it was hard to get a hold of the servers. My friend got her order and I had to wait 10-15 minutes for mine and that was only after I told them I hadn't gotten my order yet. Food: 7/10 The braised pork was alright but I've definitely had better. Also why do I have to pay an extra 2 dollars for rice! I've been to many Chinese restaurants and they always include rice WITH the entree. absolutely absurd. My friend had the crab roe over rice (which they are known for) and it was good but it was not worth the 40 dollars (astronomical price) I think this would've cost 25 dollars max for the quantity of food.

    Lotus Root Stuffed With Glutinous Rice In Osmanthus Syrup

    We got the lotus root with glutinous rice (app that is sweeter), crab roe steamed buns, crab roe noodles, and crab roe with tofu. Out of all the dishes, we liked the 3 crab roe steamed buns and the lotus root the most! The crab roe noodles were not bad. We probably would not get the crab roe with tofu again.

    Came here on a Friday night and we were seated right away! We had to order the crab noodles and crab rice and both were so delicious and savory. We also ordered the mapo tofu and cucumber, braised pork, and sweet and sour rib. Everything was fast, hot and delicious. We were pretty full at the end of our meal and everything was actually pretty heavy! Service was excellent and the waitress was always quick check up on us.

    Visited Xie Bao for dinner with a party of 4. Ordered a number of dishes to try including their viral Crab Roe over Rice. It came with a generous bowl of crab roe that you can pour over a bowl of white rice. I also really enjoyed the Braised Pork Rind with Crab Roe in Clay Pot, which came with a variety of ingredients. Other dishes we tried were their Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs, Braised Pork Meatball with Crab Roe, and Crab Roe & Roast Duck Soup Dumplings.

    The restaurant shares an entry space with the fish spot next door; same kitchen is my guess. Simple, wipeable/throwaway table coverings, and simple decor. While they have the seafood boil, I'd skip it - not enough spice and garlic butter to really enjoy it. It was pretty empty on a Tuesday night, their house Yangzhou bao are far better - crawfish and shrimp was what I thought we ordered but they brought over Peking duck with chicken... 4 medium buns but otherwise was ok. $45 for the crab roe on rice or noodle... that was a bit steep. There are better options!

    Visited on a friday night around 6pm with a party of 4 and it was pretty empty. Service was very fast, they gave us 2 menus which was helpful when ordering. We ordered both the crab roe with noodles and rice and both were delicious! Everything was very tasty.

    Located above Mango Mango, need to take elevator/stairs to 2nd floor. I've seen their special crab roe over rice/noodle dish on social media and bookmarked their NYC Flushing location, but since I was in the neighborhood in NJ, I decided to try it in NJ instead. 1) Crab roe over rice - 3/5 I was expecting to be wowwed but was quite disappointed. The flavor just didn't hit. I've spoken to other friends and they all think this dish is just mid as well and not worth the price ($37.95) It did come with a small plate of woodear mushrooms which was nice. 2) Pan fried yellow croaker - 5/5 this was really tasty, perfectly fried and they cut it in half for you. The bony spine is there and easy to remove and the tinier bones were almost nonexistent or fried enough to chew and swallow. But it's good to be careful of the bones anyway. $6.95 for one. 3) Crab roe and pork pan fried buns - 3.5/5 you get 3 buns for $13.95 which I think is kinda crazy. It's good but I've had better elsewhere. The bun was soft and crispy on the bottom, and the meat was juicy but to me, it didn't have enough of the juicy factor. I like when I bite into these buns and the juice just drips out, but it wasn't like that. Still good though! But not amazing and I can barely taste the crab roe. They have an extensive menu (see pics). And the waiter was very friendly. The restaurant is spacious with lots of seating.

    This place is connected to the Fish House next door. The crab soup was my favorite dish. They also have lots of fish options and crab roe dishes. We got pan fried dumplings with crab roe and a tofu with crab roe dish. I really enjoyed having dinner here. We got 3 fish options and they were all really well seasoned and sauced. I also really like the sweet and sour ribs. They give radish and peanuts as free appetizers and you can ask for refills.

    I've seen photos, videos, heard from friends that crab roe over rice was a must try food, so I was eager to visit XieBao and finally get to experience it. With signage outside labeling this as both Fish House & Crab House (sister restaurants connected to each other), I was entering this restaurant with the understanding I was going to have a seafood forward meal, but what I was not expecting was the price point at which this came. Overall, the food was mediocre. We ordered a few dishes and none really stood out to us -- in fact, the item we kept gravitating towards was the free pickled radish that they provided as an appetizer. The crab roe pan fried buns ($14 for three pieces) weren't anything special, though they did have a decent amount of crab meat the flavor wasn't strong and the filling was overall lacking (in volume and taste.) The buns, though claiming to be pan fried, were on the lighter end of color and were not crispy at all. The crab roe over rice itself was pricey, understandably, but my table was extremely disappointed upon seeing the size of it. My friends have tried this at other restaurants in the past and for the same price, have received way more food elsewhere throughout NYC. The crab roe arrived separately from the rice, so it kind of looked disappointing presentation-wise. As we rationed our portions we realized there was not nearly enough rice for us all, and we had to ask for more rice about 3x in the span of a half hour before someone eventually brought us some. Other items we ordered just weren't good, whether it be because the flavors were overpowering with sweetness or if it was doused in oil. I was really looking forward to crab soup dumplings as I've seen in photos of the menu online, but this wasn't on the printed menu when we visited. Tables surrounding us were feasting on seafood boils and seemed to be in good spirits, so that might be the go-to when visiting XieBao. If you're really craving crab roe over rice or really want to try it, it's not bad for a one time meal, but definitely better options elsewhere in Edison.

    Crab Roe Rice
    Steven Z.

    Let's start with their famous dish, crab roe with rice. Looks good, smells amazing, taste is a little bland and lacking in crab flavor. Would give a 3.5/5 and wouldn't order again because of the price. The pan fried buns were good, not great. Top was soft, bottom was crispy but the filling was also lacking in flavor. The yellow croaker though was the star of the show. It was crispy on the outside, moist on the inside and super flavorful. Would come back just for the croaker. Ambiance was a little dingy, there were boxes laying around and didn't look like parts of the store were in use. Service was okay, nothing good nor bad to say.

    The food is definitely delicious and flavorful. Although the pricing is higher than expected, but it's worth a try. Besides the crab meat noodle, I actually really like the soup rice. It was sweet and great seafood taste. The service was good. Waiter was very friendly and gave some suggestions since we're first time guests there. This would be a place I would return back.

    My parents are OG Shanghainese, I speak Shanghainese at home with them. I've been to shanghai 8 times and lived there for a year previously for work. Was looking forward to experiencing their shanghai style dishes. Crab House & Fish House are through different doors but connected inside, sharing a kitchen and bathroom area. Not exactly the nice ambiance inside but not bad. I hate plasticky table coverings. Unfortunately, the food is just not very good. I went with the intention of trying the crab roe over rice BUT when I saw the portion size on a table next door to us, at $45 each no thanks. So ordered some different other things. Service here was straight up amateur hour - he was definitely trying hard though. Smoked Fish appetizer looked nothing like its supposed to look in the photos or other places I've tried it. Just not good. The pork rinds in fish soup with crab roe was seriously lacking seasoning and was FISHY. No seafood should be fishy - that just means its not fresh. Really not good. The sautéed eel dish was super salty - probably the best dish of the meal unfortunately. Good stir fry technique, cooked well. Only like 10 tiny pieces of eel in the whole dish though. Mostly peppers and pork strips I think. Not very authentic Pork Belly in Lotus leaf was also just "ok" at best. Braised well but just lacking any flavor outside of just salty. Spend your money elsewhere - plenty of amazing food options in Edison

    Had a really nice meal at XieBao with my family. The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out at a good pace, and the service was friendly and attentive throughout. The ribs were fantastic, and the crab roe was especially delicious. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience and we'd be happy to come back again.

The service is very friendly and patient (and American friendly). The food comes out lightning fast. Everything is very reasonably priced. Best of all, it's all delicious. I tried stuff outside of my comfort zone and I loved it all. My favorite were the pork juicy buns (soup dumplings) but the most unique thing was the pan fried noodle which was like a crispy deep fried noodle that would soften as it sat in the sauce. The golden lava buns were sweet and rich and perfect for dessert.

We were second standing outdoors waiting in this big fat long line. Immediately upon opening for the day the line nearly forced entry near stampede and this cafe was immediately packed to full occupancy of patrons with free seating. The Yelp reviews are accurate and truthful. The food is great. This is a small cafe with only approximately eight tables. I do not recommend large parties of five and greater. It is no-frills, but not exactly "hole in the wall" type that lack in aesthetics for upscale lavish atmosphere but the deficiency is resolved in the food quality. There is one sole functioning restroom in the whole business, ergo, stand in line and wait. We entered hungry in a lugubrious sense of deep sorrow, but exited hunger pangs fulfilled. When exiting upon completion of our lunch meal, there was a line that quickly formed outdoors waiting. Unfortunately, access to this cafe in Edison, NJ is by car only and there is a free parking lot that is shared with neighboring businesses located in a small shopping complex. There are no business cards, and no takeout menus available. Customer service is efficient as the staff worked methodically hustling busy to take orders and fulfillment. Our male waiter was attentive to respond to our inquiries and make suggestions based on our desires. I was able to keep the sales receipt. Price is in the rationale realm of stagflation totaling $41.75. Nota Bene: No table hibernation as the table turnover is fast pace with a line overflowing outdoors which cannot interrupt the flow. My foodie synopsis: Pork steam soup dumplings, 6 pcs, siu2 lung4 baau1, 小籠包, $8.75 Very juicy, flavorful and great. It was served piping hot. This is my favorite default dish for every visit at any Shanghainese ethnic cuisine. However, there were no serving tongs provided for this particular appetizer which is industry standard. Preserved cabbage with pork noodle soup, syut3 coi3 juk6 si1 min6, 雪菜肉絲麵 $9.50 This is a satisfying Chinese comfort food. This noodle soup was abundant with noodles, pork and chopped vegetables. It provided warmth to my very broken heart. Shanghai chicken in wine sauce, zeoi3 gai1, 醉雞, $8.95 A traditional Chinese cold appetizer, aka Chinese Drunken chicken made with Chinese Shaoxing cooking wine. It has amazing flavor and texture to be deliciously enticing. Of course, the cooking wine brings flavor to this appetizer making you want more. Shanghai pan fried U-Don noodle, soeng6 hoi2 cou1 caau2 min6, 上海粗炒面, $11.95 Abundant noodles with good consistency and it not heavily filled with grease and oil.

Depending on how big your party is, you can order a combo for 2,3,4+ people, and the portion is generous! You can then pick how many toppings you want in your broth, and what sides you want. There are 3 broths to choose from, with 2 spicy, and 1 tomato (non spicy). The toppings can include vegetables like bok choy or enoki, all the way to glass noodles and spam. My favorite sides are the fried pork belly, and fried chicken wings. They do their fried foods well, and the 5 spice dipping powder is sooo good with it. Their cucumber salad, and the black noodles are cold dishes that are light and refreshing. The noodles are a bit on the sour side, so it's great to pair if you get a spicier or oilier soup. You can also pick from fish, beef or a combo. I'm from a seafood family, but surprisingly we pick beef most times. It's soo tender and it soaks up the flavors very well. It's worth a visit!

Both arrived pretty fresh and piping hot, not stale. The main course of the small pot we chose with mild spicy flavor. It had a good numbing spicy kick though it a hint of the greasy taste that turns me off a little bit with these types of dishes. It wasn't overwhelmingly greasy, thankfully. There was a generous amount of beef and mushrooms as well as noodles. Overall a great meal at a good price.
