AJ Shanghai Restaurant

Consistently good food. We’ve been here a number of times and we like it more the more we go. Everything we’ve ordered is just well made and has great subtle flavors. This time we got the pork soup dumplings, pork fried rice, sesame chicken, and beef soup. It was all delicious. My favorite was the beef soup which had a wonderful broth that wasn’t oily and you could taste every ingredient. It’s a big space inside with only one person serving tables. Much of the side work, like getting utensils and water are self-serve. There’s plenty of parking outside in their own lot. As well as outdoor seating on a patio. Prices were great too!

Coming from Maryland to pick up something in NJ. Stumbled in this little restaurant. I didn’t expect they served quite authentic Shanghainese food. The restaurant is very clean. The food was delicious. Especially the sweet and sour ribs. I think that dish was a real hit to the stomach. All my colleagues loved it. Also their rice has millets mixed in it. It looks nice too.

The dumplings were PHENOMENAL - I forgot to take pics, but several of us had (and loved) the soup dumplings; I also loved the steamed pork dumplings and my fiance loved the pan fried; all my friends who got bubble tea loved it, and they were very accommodating - had no trouble seating a large party of 7 Friday night at peak dinner time and the service was friendly and not overbearing! Literally can't wait to go back (great fish tank too)

I checked out this restaurant over the weekend and was glad I did. I went later in the day and there was plenty of seating available. You seat yourself and get your own drinks, and cutlery but they provide chopsticks at the table. This is a BYOB restaurant. A server came out with tea right away (tasty). The menu has a good amount of variety and the prices were pretty good as compared to others I've been to. They have a little buzzer on the table that you can use to call a server which is really helpful. I ordered wonton soup, a beef scallion pancake, garlic cucumbers, and red bean bun (comes with 3 large buns). Everything was delicious and the atmosphere was very quiet and relaxing. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the space itself was well presented. They also have their own parking lot and the bathrooms are clean. I definitely recommend stopping by.

This is one of our favorite restaurants in the area! The food is delicious. The chili fried chicken is unreal along with the soup dumplings, green beans. The dan dan noodles are some of the best I’ve ever had! They give you complementary tea too. Overall a really great homey meal.
