West Lake is a popular restaurant known for its authentic Cantonese cuisine. Located in Monmouth county, it is considered by some to be even better than some restaurants in New York. The soy sauce chicken and egg yolks shrimp are highly recommended. The service is described as professional and kind, although it may be busy at times. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, and while the portions could be larger, the food is praised for its taste.
Customers love the authentic Chinese food in Cantonese style, especially the weekend and holiday Dim Sum, which is very good. They recommend making a reservation before visiting, as the restaurant can get busy. The Pork chops in Peking style are also very good. The restaurant serves everything family-style, and they even help guests plate their food. Customers appreciate the fresh, crisp vegetables in the dishes, as well as the way the restaurant completely butchers and removes the complicated bones from the duck. They also enjoy the excellent hot tea, shrimp dim sum, and the complimentary fruit served with the check.
