  • Service is quicker than Mac's and plates are removed if a utensil doesn't hit a dish every 3 minutes. Even if you don't eat fast before food gets cold, it's okay, because they serve it that way. Food is okay but it's not Chengdu or Hunan.

  • Has authentic Chinese cuisine - all meats used are fresh and top quality. This place is no joke - highly recommended.

    This is as close to dining in Shanghai as you can get without going to China. You have to ask for a fork here as a good pair of chop sticks are the implement of choice which is how chinese food should be consumed. For those reading this review, please remember authentic chinese food is way different than the best chinese restaurants in NJ and I did not find taste Chef Jon's dishes up to the same level as these other restaurants.

    The food at this little strip mall Chinese is fantastic. Everything is fresh and the Shanghainese cuisine is much lighter than traditional Americanized Chinese fare. Stick with the Chef's Recommendations section of the menu and you cannot go wrong. The fish in winey sauce is delicious, as is the sponge gourd (think cucumber) with either fried dough stick or fish balls in a clay pot. And the green beans with olives and pork is wonderful.

  • Surprizingly good. Genuine chinese flavors served up fast and fresh. Be adventurous and order from real chinese menu in the back. Loved the Sizzling Chicken and Wontons.
