Noodle House | Kung Fu Tea
Amazing noodles and rice bowls. So far, has stir fried udon, curried chicken noodles, and pork belly bowl. Enjoying is top notch. Also like the laid back atmosphere. This is a hidden gem.
A great place for food even though so many come here for bubble tea. Their udon noodles and Thai noodles are really good. Nice dining area in the back. Good friendly service. We are regulars here.
Chapin Cuisine
Reasonably priced simple authentic meals. I love this place, been eating here for years. Very cheap compared to the rest of Princeton; though be prepared to take out if squeezing between strangers at a bar against the wall doesn't appeal to you. They/he/she can only make a subset of the things on the menu at any given point in time, but those dishes are getting all their attention and are delicious.
It was okay. Price was reasonable. 20 minutes to prepare. I ended up getting something different to what I ordered (only noticed when I got home) and there was more than one piece of hair in the rice and beans.
Crystal Garden
Amazing Thai
We were passing through Princeton and picked this place and we were happy we did since the food was so tasty. We had their lunch menu so we chose the dumplings and the salad as starters following red curry. It was too spicy for me but great flavors. The interior could have been more nice inside.
Went for a quick lunch as we were passing by Princeton and though the food was good , 18% forced gratuity for a party of 2 and the audacity to ask for tips on top of that ?? We ordered the crab Rangoon ,drunken noodles and the massaman curry . Crab Rangoon was good but the accompanying sauce could have been a little less . The curry with onions ,peanuts and potatoes were a treat , definitely a must order dish here ! The drunken noodles were good too but I’ve had better The Thai iced tea was a bit watered down for my liking . Good food for the 2 dishes we ordered but the forced gratuity and the drinks were a turn off .
Dumplings2go
A must stop dumpling shop for anyone in the area. Lovely atmosphere serving incredible food with a warm smile. And for the price, it's unbeatable !
So I just had a quick lunch here, and it was delicious. I got some dumplings and buns and it all very flavorful. The wrappers were amazing and tasted very fresh with a good bounce. The dipping sauce and chili oil really added to it. Also got a boba tea and asked for less sugar and it was the perfect sweetness. I usually think a lot of boba teas are cloyingly sweet, but this one was great. Highly recommended if you're in the mall.
roots
The menu is widely spread, food is good, what did not tick for me was the service. Felt it was a bit sluggish and slow. Also the way the staff interacted was not polite. Food they serve is fresh, yummy and tastes great. I will definitely try the place again.
I recently visited Roots in Princeton upon a recommendation from a friend, and we both went for dinner. We arrived around 7 pm, and though the restaurant was moderately busy, there was plenty of seating available. We were seated comfortably at a table for four. The ambiance was decent, with a quiet and relaxed atmosphere—perfect for a casual dinner with a friend. It doesn’t scream luxury, but it’s inviting and comfortable. For drinks, I was about to order a Coke when my friend suggested trying their fresh juices. I opted for the fresh carrot, celery, and ginger juice, while my friend went for the pineapple, green apple, and ginger juice. Both juices were incredibly fresh, cold, and delicious—a refreshing start to the meal! The menu had a variety of unique options, and while I was figuring out what to order, my friend, who had been there before, suggested a couple of dishes. We chose the Thai Basil dish, stir-fried with vegetables and rice, seasoned perfectly with basil and spices. The second dish was Lo Mein, a stir-fried noodle dish with vegetables. Both dishes were superb, and we shared them between us. The flavors complemented each other well, and the food was truly outstanding. One of the highlights of the evening was the incredibly friendly and attentive service. Our waitress noticed we ordered vegetarian dishes and thoughtfully asked if it was okay to use fish oil for the stir-fry. We were really impressed by her attention to detail and appreciated her asking, to which we replied no. After dinner, we stayed for quite a long time, chatting and catching up. There was another group dining a little further away, and at one point, we asked what time they closed. To our surprise, we were told they had already closed! The staff had been so polite and considerate, never rushing us or making us feel like we needed to leave. It wasn’t until we noticed the waiters and waitresses having their own dinner at a table that we realized how late it was. We left after finishing our long chat, feeling very welcome and appreciative of the friendly and polite staff. Overall, it was an awesome dining experience. The food was flavorful and fresh, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. I highly recommend Roots if you're in Princeton and looking for a place with delicious Asian-inspired cuisine and exceptional service!
Thai Village
Thai Village is absolutely one of the best Thai restaurants in Princeton on Nassau Street, which is super convenient. My family and I are regular patrons and we even catered food from them for our house parties because the food is simply amazing. The staffs are great and friendly whenever we eat there, service is top notch, the food is so yummy, and price is reasonable that we can eat there everyday. We also bring our friends there. Thank you Thai Village!
I ordered the crispy pork and drunken noodle. Both are perfectly cooked! Thai Village is definitely the best thai place in the area!
Purinsu Ramen
It was a decent experience. The exterior looks appealing and quiet Japanese. I don’t know if the owner of this place is Japanese or Cantonese though. I had ramen, which was really good. The service was fast and helpful. However, I had to mention that the food is a little overpriced, and the bathroom there needs some cleaning.
The interior was a good vibe and seating was very open when we came in, was around 4:00pm too. We ordered two ramens only for it to be mediocre, both were $20 a bowl too. The waiter wasnt either nice or rude, she was just there. The restaurant seemed to not just stick to Japanese food either, having a separate menu for cantonese food. Normally im okay with tap water, waters water right? But the water was really weird tasting that it made me avoid it the rest of the meal, except the ramen was too salty for me that i couldnt avoid it.
Thai Delight (formerly Lil Thai Pin)
Stopped in here unexpectedly. Food was very good. Green curry was fantastic. The spring rolls were fresh, but not my favorite. Service was friendly and we had table service. Small place like many Princeton places on Nassau. We ordered food to bring home for other family members. We can’t get good Thai near our house.
The restaurant is much smaller than it looks in pictures. There is no table service, they serve the food and disposable plates and forks. I paid $17 for beef drunken noodles. When I arrived, they had served me chicken but corrected the mistake. For this price, I expect proper table service. The food was way too sweet and had raw tomatoes which threw me off. It tasted okay. The restaurant is much smaller than it looks in pictures, and is a counter serve joint where you pay at the counter. Very tight seating around 200-400 sf dining room. There are no proper restrooms. I will never come here again. For roughly the same price $17.50, you’re much better off going to Thai Village. The food is much tastier and less sweet. There are nice high ceilings and a spacious restaurant. There is proper table service with stoneware. On the other hand, Amazing Thai is way too expensive.
China Wok
Update: It's been two years since I went to this establishment. Honestly I completely forgot about my rating and I was just looking for something to eat. Non coincidentally I ordered pretty much the same thing minus the soup. I did get the fried shrimp though. It was alright. A little too oily for my taste, and the flavor just wasn't there. The oil was probably old as I could taste a bitterness in the back of my throat. It's really unfortunate that the food is still pretty bad 2 years later. I had to give three stars instead of two however, because the kind woman behind the counter was really sweet and it seemed like she was doing most of the work. She did seem to have a hard time walking so I kind of felt bad. I do wish establishments could just read reviews and try to make it a little better for the sake of getting better reviews. Unfortunately that's just not the case. The rice had a really strange taste to it almost like it was old and had been sitting for a while. And the sesame chicken was again oily with too much breading, and I could also taste the old grease in that as well. The price for this meal was $13.41. I will say the food was super hot so there's that. Overall the experience was pretty much the same as 2 years ago. I'm going to remember that I didn't exactly like it, and hope that they do a little better next time. _____________________________________ One entree, a side of rice, and a large soup cost over 18 dollars. The soup was bland, yet oily. Needed more salt. The sesame chicken had way too much breading and not enough chicken. Seemed like they triple breaded it. The broccoli was almost uncooked. Won't be going back.
We got pick up tonight around 6pm. The hot and sour soup tasted rancid. The egg roll tasted old and foul. I took one bite and spit it out. The sesame chicken had SO much breading and the sauce was flavorless. It was my first time eating here and will be my last. I have a sour after taste in my mouth. Hoping I don’t get sick tomorrow.
Panda Express
Ordered double string bean chicken, there were like 4 tiny pieces of chicken… almost all string beans. Tasted fine but where’s the meat? Last time I’m going to Panda Express.
October 25, 2024 - ⭐⭐ 2 Stars My wife and I visited Panda Express 🐼. She got double Orange Chicken 🍊🐔 with lo mein 🍜, and I went with half lo mein 🍜, half fried rice 🍚, plus the new Blazing Bourbon Chicken 🔥🐔 and Black Pepper Sirloin Steak 🥩. My wife and I thought the bourbon chicken would be 4x hotter 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ than Orange Chicken, so we wanted to try a sample. But the staff refused us 😒, which was frustrating. Considering we couldn’t get a sample, my wife decided not to risk it, and honestly, I should’ve skipped it too 🥴. The bourbon chicken was way too spicy 🔥 and bitter 🥵—definitely not worth it. The service left a lot to be desired. The staff seemed spaced out 💤, not very friendly, and no one was smiling 😐. Only one person was helping guests inside while 5-6 others were focused on cooking and drive-thru orders 🚗, which slowed everything down 🐢. The lot this location sits on is tiny 🏠. The drive-thru line easily wraps around the building 🚗➡️🏢 and can trap you in the parking spots 🚫🅿️, making it really frustrating to leave. On top of that, it shares a single exit with Dutch Bros Coffee ☕️, making it chaotic and hard to navigate 😤. Princeton seems to have a trend with these cramped fast food spots 🗺️, which doesn’t help the experience. Overall, this visit was disappointing 😕. Between the lack of samples, the slow service, and the cramped lot, it just wasn’t what we were hoping for.
Hunan Chinese Restaurant
The Szechaun Sautéed Beef and rice was delicious and not too spicy. This place is well priced for dinner and being near a university
Owners were incredible and genuine. The food was reasonable for the price and it's the best it gets around here.
