We ordered off the authentic Chinese menu, not the Americanized dishes and found the portions for the price to be surprising-in the best way. Also, food was tasty. We found our new Chinese spot. Would recommend dining in over taking out.

I highly recommend the guo bao rou (sweet and sour pork) and the liu rou duan (sautéed pork) at this restaurant. It’s probably the best Northeastern Chinese cuisine in the Greater Philadelphia area. I heard from the owner that they might be selling the place soon, so make sure to enjoy it while you can. Don’t miss out on this gem!

I ordered the shrimp lo mein oh my God for $10. I didn’t get anything. They put three shrimp in here and it wasn’t even bigger. They was like them really cook chewy shrimp that was my first and last time.

The food is delicious and handmade. Tastes like it was made with love. A little expensive, but I will shell out for good food.

The Guobao Pork and Di Sanxian are very good! Even though it’s a takeaway, the Guobao Pork is still very crispy when it arrives! Northeastern people love itSupplement: After dining in, I have to add something else. It’s so delicious that I was moved! I ordered eggplant with minced meat, it was just a side dish, and the chefs were very particular about their cooking! Under normal circumstances, eggplants cannot taste bad as long as they are deep-fried, but theirs coats the eggplants with a layer of starch and deep-fries them until they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. There is a lot of minced meat, and they also add chopped shiitake mushrooms and chopped green peppers. taste. This Northeastern chef is too attentive! Moreover, the portions of the dishes are large, which is very in line with the style of Northeastern people. I hope the chef can maintain this level. I will recommend it to my friends as a tap water!

I’m from NYC and visit Newark irregularly. But I have been to many of the locals. Food not decor is the whole deal for me and this is the best place in Newark. I always order off the menu.

Very good, tasty food. Quick dine in service. Not overpriced. If you say spicy, it will be very spicy. Simple, plastic chairs and tablecloths.

Do not ever ever come here! They have a terrible atmos and food was normal but expensive. Mutton was not fresh at all. The waiter is rude and does not offer water service at all, so i did not tip. Guess what? They themselves added a 25 percent of tip on my receipt after I left!

Good food. They know how to make authentic Szechuan dishes, which are usually very spicy. Wish I had known about this place sooner.
