Taste of Asian
I’m a regular here! I come for the sushi and my family likes the Chinese. The sushi has great cuts of meat always. EDIT: to add my Essex roll - one of my Go tos. I already had one piece.
Cute family-run place. The online price is 10-15% higher than the menu price plus there is an additional service charge. I recommend you just call the restaurant. I had the 3-roll sushi lunch special. Maki was fresh and tasty but unremarkable. Jen got lo mein and fried rice, also fresh and good but unremarkable. The egg roll was crispy and delicious. Value for money was good, online issues notwithstanding.
Hei La Moon
We liked the seafood with crunchy noodles, it was great and a huge portion as pictured. The scallion dumplings for dim sum weren’t worth it. The pork buns were! Delicious. And then I got the sesame balls which I thought were delicious as well. Also good spot where we weren’t rushed at all and given tea to chat with
I've tried several Dim Sum places, and I think Hei La Moon is the best. Their shrimp dim sum is amazing—any kind! The braised pork dim sum is also fantastic. However, many of the dishes have a strong Chinese spice aroma, which might not be to everyone's taste if you're not used to these scents. On weekends, you can choose your dim sum from carts, which I find very easy and intuitive. One thing to note is that most of the employees don’t speak English. I was able to use a few simple Chinese words, which helped occasionally, so don't expect much in terms of friendly service. You can simply order dishes as you see them, without needing an explanation. It gets very crowded on weekends, so try to avoid peak times between 11:00 am and 1:00 pm. If you go around these times, you might have to wait 30 minutes to an hour.
Fan Szechuan Restaurant & Bar 大宅门餐厅酒吧
It’s worth being transparent that this place offers a free appetizer when you leave a review. It doesn’t have to be 5 stars, just needs to be a review. With that being said, this place IS good! The food came out pretty quickly (but not suspiciously quickly) everything felt fresh, the dumplings were good, and the fried rice was great. It’s a good choice, but nothing life changing. Everything is ordered on an iPad, which really throws off how you can rate customer service.
Spicy fried chicken is very well fried, crispy outside and still juicy inside. Peking duck is also pretty good, and they gave us an extra dish which is the duck bone stir fried with salt pepper and onions. The shredded potato can use a little bit of vinegar. My favorite is the free pickled cabbage though. Very tasty and I had to ask them for a refill 😋
Beijing Restaurant
Nice little place on the corner of Eastern Ave and Essex Street. I got the chicken with broccoli over white rice and it was pretty good. Uber Eats is available here.
Orange chicken comes without rice or lo mein. They need to specify and very costly for it to be selling it differently
Hop Sing Chinese Restaurant
I am writing this review because I wish someone would have before I went here. Called in to order Mango chicken. When I bring the food back home and open the food container I find what is shown in the pictures below. Not Mango chicken. The chicken was rubbery and more raw vegetables than anything. The sauce did not taste like mango. Frankly, it didn’t taste like anything. Just a gelatinous slime poured over the “chicken”. When I call they say that that is how they make their mango chicken and deny our request for a refund. They offer to replace our meal with Tso chicken, as “No one complains about that.” Honestly it seems like they did not have the ingredients for the mango chicken and so they just made something up. The tso chicken was not any better either. Ended up having Popeyes down the street instead. This place is a scam. To the owner: next time do not offer a meal you do not know how to make or have the ingredients to make. Forewarn customers that you specialize in only specific dishes on your menu. And when a customer asks for a refund for a clearly disgraceful meal, just do the right thing and issue the refund.
I really wanted to write a 5 star review but the chicken rice soup was disgusting. Tiny little cubes of old meat, smelling rancid. I had to throw it away. The Curry chicken was good. Next time I rather go again to the place in Lodi. Sorry
Essex Chinese Kitchen
Best Chinese food in all NJ!!! The food is so fresh, the service is amazing, and they are very very clean. This is my friends favorite restaurant and when he came for his birthday they even made sure to have an extra table to accommodate our crowd, even being it’s primarily take out. Very well priced and they even have boba tea. I won’t be going anywhere else for Chinese food and truly hope you give this place a try. the variety of food they have is also nice as they do some tie food as well. Keep up the great work, you guys are awesome!!!
Love this restaurant!!! Brand new ownership!! very clean and organized! Brand new menu with Boba tea and in addition several Thai dishes to choose from. My friends and I felt very welcomed and at home. The food is very fresh and I strongly recommend both the Green and Red Thai curry dishes! ♥ 🍲 Will be coming here all the time! ☺ Chris-
