I finally found a spot in NJ that makes good sesame chicken. One of the things I took for granted about living in nyc was the abundance of great Chinese takeout. This place comes close to the texture and taste I'm used to. The chicken is amazingly crispy how I like, the sauce is sweet but not overly so. You can taste the ginger they put in it which isn't a flavor that always comes through in sesame chicken, but it worked here. It doesn't come with broccoli but I didn't miss it. The entree came with rice and the portion was good. I really enjoyed it and they're definitely going to be part of my takeout rotation now.

Incredible soup dumplings, and great general Tso's Chicken. They even arrived about 10 minutes before their estimated time. If you like dumplings at all, you have to try these !

This was a good restaurant. The food was authentic and the staff were nice. They kept replacing the tea we had on the table which was awesome.

Best Bok Choi EVER !! Crab Soup Dumplings EXcellent !!! Delivery FAST Can't wait to try rest of menu

Wow I have been missing out! This is going to be our new go to soup dumpling place in fort Lee!! We got the pork soup dumplings, sesame chicken and the fried rice!! Also the scallion pancakes!! We're talking about going back tomorrow for more. So good! Also service is quick and efficient! Will be back!

Love this place as always. Price did raise a bit because of inflation, but still reasonable. Noodle/Soup dishes are heart-warming and so fresh to have in a cold day, the sauteed/fried dishes are simple and scrumptious, and the pork soup dumplings have slightly thicker flour than other local soup dumplings... I also crave their Chili-Fried Chicken w/ Sichuan Pepper (now $14.95) from time to time. Come here for some authentic Shanghai food!

Really good Shanghai food here! It's a classic in the area. Soup dumplings is on the sweeter end of the spectrum but it was very enjoyable! Love their spicy chili oil - strong n spicy kick for sure!

The food at this place is some of the best Shanghai cuisine that I've eaten outside of Shanghai itself. I absolutely love coming to this place... And every time I bring one of my friends or family, they agree. While it may not look like much from the outside, don't let it's appearance for you. Like I said, Shanghai restaurant has some of the best food and best service around. Everyone is friendly, the menu is super tight, and you won't regret ordering everything on the menu. Some of my favorite menu items are: Wonton soup Sautéed bok choy All of the Dumplings (homemade) Shredded eggplant and pork Scallion pancakes Order everything... Try everything... Enjoy everything Yum!

I was craving some Chinese food in NJ and stumbled upon this restaurant. It's a bit small inside, but they have a few outdoor tented tables as well. We were seated quickly on a Sunday afternoon at 1PM. We ordered the sweet and sour pork ribs, string beans, soup dumplings, and pan fried dumplings. The soup dumplings weren't my favorite. The dough was a bit chewy and dry, and they had minimal broth, but they tasted okay. The string beans and pan fried dumplings were pretty good. The sweet and sour spare ribs were so tender and flavorful! The only thing I'll say is that the food is a bit on the oilier side, but I didn't mind it too much. I'd definitely come back best if I'm craving Shanghainese food!
