“The restaurant is cozy and nice. I love that it feels authentic. However, the food was a little bland. The spicy peanut noodles were not spicy at all. And the soup dumplings were just ok. It’s not bad, but I’ve had much better soup dumplings, and I like more flavor in my food. I was glad that the food was not too greasy or anything though.

Also, they should really put a big sign on the door or front desk or on the menu that says CASH, VENMO, OR ZELLE ONLY“

“Been here a few times. The original location in edison (back in the day) has been my go to for tasty chinese... and I appreciate the spin off locations for more accessibility to good food. I always get (and always love) a few orders of XLB, chicken cabbage rice cakes, and rotate through their spicy noodle features. We had the kids with us last time, so we also added an order of sesame balls.

It's always fun to watch the staff make the dumplings on site, and their XLB is noticiely bigger and juicier than most other places. However, it did seem to fall apart more than I remember - it's always a bummer when they pop prematurely. I also felt their sesame balls could have been fried a bit longer for more crisp, and there was just a general smell of cleaning liquid throughout (authentically Chinese but clashes with the nice decor and stamped napkins & gold plates).

Otherwise a decent experience and most likely will continue to patronize.“
