“At Newark Airport, I frequently dine at Little Purse Dumpling because the food is consistently good, the atmosphere is nice with good music, and it is rarely crowded. Since it was brunch hour, I tried the vegetable and chicken dumplings. Both orders arrived hot and crisp from the fryer! The vegetable dumplings had a tasty blend of kale, corn, and tofu, not your typical fillings. The portion sizes were good for the price, especially since airport food prices are inflated. I am happy that this option is available because it has different offerings than other restaurants in Terminal C.“
“Honestly, considering this is located within the airport, this place isn’t THAT bad. Or at least our experience wasn’t. The pad Thai was decent (again what do you expect, it’s the airport, and it was pretty good for airport food). Sure it took a little longer than expected but it’s 6pm on a busy evening at the airport. Definitely the best we could’ve done“
“The dishes were all came out with extremely large portions and tasted authentically. The services were also great. We got complementary hot jessamine tea in that rainy day, and it really warmed us up. Strongly recommend the sesame sauce and garlic seasoned green bean sheet jelly noodles (which has meat in it) and the country style pork bone. And the inside environment was clean and quiet. The sesame sauce and garlic flavor so great, and the green bean noodles were fully covered with it. But if you are a vegetarian, make sure told them to avoid any meat in that dish.“
“Very nice newer place, the food tasted very good. The pork dumplings were very flavorful aswell as the shrimp spring rolls. The resteraunt was very clean and neat. The staff was very nice and the food came out quick. This is a good place to come for a quick meal.“
“We came here randomly based on reviews and timing and proximity. I grew up eating soup dumplings (aka xiao long bao, aka XLB) all my life in Chinatown. These arent bad at all and will satisfy your needs. I also enjoyed the other dishes. We ordered 4 steamers of xlb., spicey wonton, scallion pancakes, meat scallion pancakes, ribs, the eggplant dish and dan dan noodles.. Ribs and eggplant was a bit sweet for my liking but still enjoyable. Dont mind the get it yourself set up at all. The service was good enough for as late as we were getting there. Hot tea was welcome. I especially loved the card that teaches you how to not eat xlb like a savage. I would recommend this place.“
“We went to the American Dream yesterday and ate here. This mall is insane and the food court is even better!! We decided on this restaurant and it wA so good. The containers are so cute and travel easy without spilling the soup. We got the short rib soup and the shrimp dumpling soup. Bothe excellent choices. Everyone was friendly and the service was quick! Definitely check them out!!“
“Quite small but great food and relatively inexpensive. $10-20 per person if you just get noodles, but can be more depending on how many side dishes you get. Service is pretty quick as well. I recommend the 小椒牛卷饼, as well as the Fresh Seaweed side dish. Spicy food (one chili pepper) is generally on the spicier side, rather than more mild, but can be requested to be not spicy if you wish.“
“Really good dim sum! I've been coming here for 5 years now. Every time I come I feel so bad that the restaurant is so empty and it seems even worse after COVID. I'm hoping it's because people don't know this place has really good and cheap dim sum. I really do think they need to advertise it better since the outside of the restaurant does not look welcoming and you definitely would not think this place serves dim sum (with carts too!). I've been to the other ones in NJ - Aquarius, Dim Sum Station, Qin Dynasty, and China Chef wins. Please people visit China Chef and show them some love! I need this place open forever. Get the fried shrimp balls, siu mai, lava egg custard bun, bbq pork pastry, and thank me later.“
“Not sure why this place has such negative reviews… my pork Tonkatsu Ramen was great! The pork tasted just like bacon but with a meaty texture, the egg was cooked well, the amount of noodles was perfect, and the broth was rich without overpowering the rest of the ramen components. Tasted better than other ramen I’ve had before and I would definitely eat this again.“
