Nice place. You probably heard a lot ‘oh this is a little hidden 💎’. Well, I think this one is the type of hidden gem (that off the main road / restaurants centers not far away). I ordered Sichuan Beef Noodles (spicy) …and a claypot rice: on point! Haha...😂

Very delicious claypot rice! We had spare ribs over rice, Chinese preserved meat over rice. They are the best we have ever had, and cost $14 each.

Found this place by accident while searching for a poke bowl spot. Have to say I was surprised at how good it was. I haven't had the ramen yet but it looks very good too. Definitely try it out.

Excellent service and enjoyed the lunch special this past Saturday that not only included ramen but also could pick sushi or gyoza! Since we were pressed for time, didn't get a chance to try the clay rice pot which looked good so need to go back

This spot is a hidden gem in New Jersey and the only place around offering authentic Cantonese claypot rice! The dishes are freshly prepared, and the flavors are outstanding. A standout feature is the perfectly crispy rice crust at the bottom of the pot—a must-have for any claypot rice lover.

I ordered the Chinese preserved meat claypot rice and the grilled eel claypot rice, and both were incredibly satisfying. The ingredients were fresh, the portions generous. The rich, smoky flavors combined with the tender meats made for an unforgettable meal.

If you’re a fan of traditional Cantonese claypot rice or just curious to try something unique, I highly recommend checking this place out. It’s a delightful experience for your taste buds!

Love the curry that is made here. I was never really a big curry fan but the food here is amazing. I always come here for when I want to spoil myself during a cheat day. If you do not know where to start and like spicy food, chicken katsu curry.

Stopped by for a casual meal yesterday - was looking for a sushi place with other options. A small menu, but with lovely options and specials. Not fancy digs, but amazing food. I had the Pork Curry katsu, and it was so fresh and delicious - I almost thought they had brought me the Chicken katsu my daughter had ordered, the pork was so unexpectedly tender and light - I didn't think it was possible. HIGHLY recommended. Sunday was slow in house, though I suspect they have a thriving takeout business. A little tricky to find by directions, a little bit set back from the road - but I will DEFINITELY be back.

Ever since coming back from Japan with my boyfriend, we’ve been searching for niku udon and beef gyudon that would come somewhat close to what we had over there. This place blew us out of the water with both dishes, it was like we were back in Tokyo having lunch again. Delicious with great portions, the vibe of the shop is lighthearted and friendly. The front end manager was so kind, we were able to chat for a little bit as she told us about her travels. This is definitely going to be our go-to spot from now on.
