Customer Reviews
food was very good but the customer service was HORRIBLE. the person at the front desk was speaking to us as if she was trying to rush us out the door as we were waiting for our food and she was very very rude about it as well. i got white rice with general tso chicken and got a mountain of rice and barely any chicken ??? we planned on eating here it was our first time so we did not know how it worked and they didnt ask if we wanted to eat in or dine out she automatically assumed we wanted to take it to go and placed the order to go as well.
This has been the best and most authentic Chinese food in the area for thirty years. Since changing ownership several years ago, it has only improved. Now there are Shanghainese specialties like the pan fried pork buns which are amazing. Other dishes that we love are the Peking duck, seafood pan fried noodles, fried tofu with chopped shrimp, and the casseroles. Love love love this place. If you don’t know what to order, ask for Lynn and she will help you order.
We ordered on-line and were given a pickup time. There was a crowd at the door waiting for orders, and the kitchen was clearly backed up. Most seemed to get their food 30-45 minutes late. Ours was 75 minutes late, and we only got it because we made a fuss. I am convinced that they simply lost the order, and didn't even start it until I insisted on specific status by order number. Minimal apologies and zero explanation. When we got home, we were missing two items. You take your chances here.
The best authentic Chinese food you can get in central Jersey! My Shanghai friends highly recommended this place to us and so lucky we didn’t miss it. Definitely try their moon cake(鲜肉月饼),exactly same falvor you can get in Shanghai, with crispy crust and juicy ground pork filling. 熏鱼is our favorite! Deep fried fish soaked sweet sour sauce! The owner is very warm, come to check several times. She also gives us some free fish to try, so sweet! We will definitely come back!
I was visiting New Providence, NJ and ordered the fried chicken appetizer and the chicken and broccoli dish with brown rice substitution (+$1). After picking up the dishes, I returned and wondered whether I had picked up the right order because the fried chicken was sliced through the bone in a way that made it look like a different dish. The chicken and broccoli that had something that may be shaved chicken and there is some green but more like the remnants, not florets. I tasted it and I'm still not sure if it is chicken honestly. Brown rice was not substituted and the white rice was fine. I was feeling a little guilty ordering so much food but ended up only eating the side of white rice so it was a favor in a way. Though I found the two dishes to not be palatable for me, several five star reviews note that it is the best authentic Szechuan food around so I'm assuming it is the preparation style that I'm not finding palatable but may have, if I appreciated "authentic" Szechuan style preparation.
