    Chicken shezuan, 44. Singapore Mei Fun
    Omkar H.

    Great tasting food. Service was quick and friendly. We tried the thin noodles and dinner combo with shezuan chicken. Both dishes were great and tasted fresh.

    Spicy Dry Pot
    JIinhwa C.

    I have mixed feelings about this place. Their lunch menu is pretty solid if you are looking for cheap and reasonable Chinese food. Their orange chicken isn't bad (but not superior to other competitors). I used to get their spicy beef stir fry which is again ok. The spicy dry pot, which I had two times, has way too strong flavor. I wish they did little less mala spice and it would've been a decent dish. I don't think I will get that again. If you are a local, I recommend sticking to their lunch special menus - good cheap chinese food and portion is just right for lunch.

    Shanghai Style Small Juicy Bun(6pcs) i always order in any place i order ..that and some sort of wonton. They did it well

    I gotta say working 12 hours every day you start looking to order and when you get surprised that the food is good and happy you appreciate it. I got it through uber eats..fast still hot and good!

    GREED! While ordering delivery I had to pay $1 gratuity, $1 gas & $1+ for tips. That is $3+ for a $12 food
    Abhi J.

    GREED Ok, so the food is not bad, but I gave the 2 star review due to greed. I was eating alone yesterday and decided to order. Since their website, menu linked to Yelp went to a non-existent page, I couldn't see their prices or menu. So I called up and ordered for "Black Pepper Chicken". The person informed me that the amount would be $15.88 which appeared steep for 1 chicken dish at a Chinese Restaurant. I agreed and within 30minutes the food arrived. The delivery guy handed me the food and I handed over a $20 bill and waited for the balance. The guy stood there, looking at me as if I shouldn't be expecting the $4+ balance. Now, I am all for tipping food delivery men, but I was not planning for tip $4+ for a $15.88 delivery, what is that like 25%? Now at this point, the person demanded that I pay tip and I decided to check out the receipt. So, on top of the $12.95 food & Tax ($0.92) they already charged me a gratuity (???) of $1 and gas free of $1, he wanted a few dollar tip. Irritated I handed him another $1+ and walked off. Never before have I paid $3.12 (24%) tips for a $12 food. C'mon, how greedy are you!

    Chinese Menu

    Clean and friendly. Owner from hong kong. Different taste and cooking style compared to typical chinese restaurant. Recommended. Revisted after a few years. Ordered from their chinese menu. Pretty authentic chinese food.

    This is the hot & sour soup that went with the dinner special, little too much soy sauce : /
    Rosy V.

    This is considered one of those quick grab some Chinese food take out type places and it's actually pretty nice. It's not like those cheesey Chinese take out places you see everywhere, they actually present their restaurant a lot nicer than most and the food itself is actually pretty darn good for Chinese take out. When you actually eat in instead of taking out the plating is a lot nicer than some other Chinese take out and you almost feel like you're eating at an actual "restaurant." This is a nice place to grab some cheap Chinese food, I really recommend the black pepper chicken and the beef and broccoli. This is definitely a place that I would regularly go back to due to the price and quality of food compared to the other ones down the street.

    Vegetable Fried Rice

    Food : Very good options and freshly prepared. Surprising to find so many vegetarian options too! Location : A small quaint outlet. Limited seating. Price : Very affordable Service : Quick

    garlic bokchoy
    Robert B.

    the hot sour soup cures your misery and brings summer to your winter. a hefty portion for $5. garlic bokchoy, a simple but delicious dish. this one beats others i have tried because the baby bokchoys are very well selected and not the gigantic ones that you have to fight with a low key joint that can compete with the NYC chinatown restaurants bring your spicy palate 'cause this is sichuan cooking.

I happily devoured it and immediately craved more. Unfortunately it's a limited item, so be sure to check their ig stories or dm them to find out the next available date. *Prosciutto Youtiao Sandwich $15 * Crispy youtiao with prosciutto, burrata and pineapple jam. This unexpected combo actually works so well! *Taro French Toast with Boba $16.5 ** If this is your first time here, ORDER THE FRENCH TOAST. I literally get it every time--the milk tea French toast is perfectly brûléed and topped with taro paste, boba, whipped cream, and salted egg yolk bits. All my favorites in one bite. *Taiwanese Braised Pork Belly $16 * Fatty and full of gelatin, giving that sticky-lips feeling after eating it. I love that their lu rou fan comes with a soft-boiled ramen egg instead of a hard boiled one, and the pickled mustard greens on the side are my favorite part. *Taiwanese Milk Crumb Toast $5 New item! We tried this test version of 奶酥吐司, and it was lowkey addictive. The bread pulled apart just like shokupan. So soft and fluffy.

It was packed with flavor, though on the oily side Soft Shell Crab (3.5/5): The crab was well-prepared, but the avocado pairing muted the flavor, making it a bit bland Taiwanese Fried Chicken over Rice (3/5): This was surprisingly sweet for a savory entree, which others may like that Century Old Egg Tofu (2/5): A miss for me, it was served cold and the sauce pairing didn't really work Great service and a lovely vibe overall

The ambiance was nice though! It was a cafe style in the front and had an outdoors garden space that was home-y and felt like being in your back yard. Some seating was covered so we were still able to go outside despite the light rain. There is also a few pretty birds you walk past on your way out back. There was quite a few steps though, and i did not see an alternate entry to the garden, so that specifically is not handicap friendly if it applies to you.

It was about 25 minutes away from where we were but the great experience here made our drive worth. The place is very homey with a wonderful staff. Service is impeccable. The owners are very friendly and has great customer relations skills. The foods are excellent. We had the pleasure of trying their bangus sisig, pork bbq and caldereta. The tastes exceeded our expectations. We learned that their chef hailed from Luzon so the degree of cooking style satisfied our taste buds. The calamansi drink I had was fabulous. Honestly, the best I had so far. Our halo/halo dessert was heavenly. Satisfied our sweet tooth. The serving size is in huge portion. Each order is shareable by around 2-3 people. Pricing is higher in comparison to other place but proportioned to the serving size. I have one star less for my review for two reasons- 1.The check includes a service charge that confused us if a gratuity should be given or not. We need to Google first for right information. We ended up adding gratuity for their hospitality . 2. Looking for parking spot is challenging. We ended up downloading the town's parking mobile app to get parked closer. We are willing to return if ever we are near the area.

The vibe is nice but the food just does'nt wow me. We particularly choose Tinjune because of its proximity to the arena. Moreover, it's a convenient place for us to meet since we are coming from all over the tri-state area. Parking can be a little tough but it's doable. The establishment seems to be a mixture of a sports lounge and restaurant, offering a casual fare of entertainment including boozy brunch, opportunities to watch a game on their TVs, or simply catch up with friends over drinks. The menu features Asian fusion dishes with some caribbean and soul food influences. During our first visit in July, we stopped by during brunch. It was a lively vibe with a great live DJ, mature crowd, and an eclectic menu. We were seated at a booth in the corner of the dining area which was also in the way of sunlight. In addition, the fans above were not working which made the area hot. Nonetheless, we sat thru it as the alternative seating being offered was no better. We skipped appetizers and got straight to entrees. I ordered the General Tso Chicken with white rice along with water. It was'nt bad but it also was'nt great. Visually, the chicken was swimming in a lot of sauce. Moreover, the sauce was watery. The chicken seemed to be cuts of breast that were tossed in a sweet chili-like sauce, perhaps sautéed since the texture was mostly soft. I wish it had been fried first then tossed in the sauce to give it better texture. I liked the texture on the broccoli, it was cooked with a slight crunch just the way I like. When paired with the soft, white rice, things came together nicely. Fast forward to our most recent visit in November. On this visit, I decided to dive into the menu a bit more and have an appetizer and entree. To start off, I had the Thai Chili wings. They were delicious and prepared well. The wings had a nice crispy exterior and juicy flesh. The sauce was sticky and coated the wings well, just like I prefer. For the entree, I went for the Wok Stir fry consisting of Lo Mein and steak. Again, the meal was swimming in a lot of sauce. For me, Lo Mein should have a little sauce to it but this was more like soupy gravy. I could literally use my spoon to scoop out the sauce and sip it which altogether, makes the meal soggy over time. The veggies were bright and prepared nicely but I was'nt a fan of the steak. It tasted as if it was thrown in at the last minute, so there wasn't much texture or seasoning to it. A little more sear to it would've been perfect. In terms of service, that was ok. Some periods of our dining experience were slow and we struggled to get our servers attention at times. Pricing was fair and the portions reflected a good value but they charge 15% automatic gratuity and a surcharge for using your card which I'm not a fan of. Overall, I've had ok experiences. I was not thoroughly impressed by the food but it hit the spot in the moment. I would return for the convenience, but I wouldn't go out of my way to visit nor would I immediately recommend to others.
