Mapo tofu
Anusha M.

Another new jewel added to the Jersey city restaurant scene. Traditional ambience with excellent flavors ! The best news its BYOB. I ordered the mapo tofu , it tasted amazing , I could take more heat thought, in my next visit I will ask them to make it more spicy .The service was excellent, quick and the staff was able to answer all my questions and also offer recommendations. They did not rush us at all until their next reservation arrived which I really appreciate!

Tasty, authentic Chinese restaurant that seems popular for weekday lunches. There's a variety of lunch specials on the menu for $16, which includes an entree with rice and an egg drop soup. Good options overall for a hot lunch, and service was quick. There's also a promotion for a free side of soup dumplings with over $38 spend, which is a nice addition if you come with a group.

Came here again recently with some work colleagues for lunch. They've expanded the menu dramatically from their soft open and the items on it seem very authentic. The staff is very friendly and for lunch they provided soup dumplings for free when your order exceeds a certain amount. The dumplings were very good! The egg drop soup was also much liked by the entire party. The main courses were also fantastic.

Oh. My. Jebus. I found Shanghainese Pork and Cabbage Noodle Soup on this side of the Hudson. And it's not only good....It's EXCELLENT! Yes, yes, the dish by which all Shanghai restaurants are judged is XLBs. We didn't get them (*horrified gasps*). Instead, we ordered this noodle soup because it is my personal Shanghai culinary litmus test--and 62 SK passed with flying colors! The noodles were kiu kiu, the pork was buttery tender, the mustard greens were delightfully crunchy--and most important of all, the broth was an umami nirvana. I'm going to throw hands: 62 Secret Kitchen's version surpasses Nan Xiang's, Din Tai Fung's and most of NYC's Shanghainese restaurants. It's that good. Everything else we got was stellar too. The Fresh Chicken in Wine Sauce (AKA Drunken Chicken) was tender and succulent. The Shanghai Meatball with Salted Egg Yolk (AKA Lions Head) was perfectly braised, though a tad too sweet for my liking. And the savory Sauteed Blue Crab with Rice Cake was that perfect dish to ward off the lingering early spring evening chill. Throw in the lovely modern yet traditional Chinese decor and friendly, attentive service (despite the place being packed), and you've got what's easily the best Chinese restaurant in downtown Jersey City. 10 years ago, a restaurant like this probably never would've survived in the area. What a difference a decade makes....

This is our second time at this Chinese restaurant, and it's just as good as the first! We ordered 1 whole Peking duck, vegfies, soup dumplings, the scallion pancake -- every single dish was excellent. The duck was crispy and super flavorful, and the sides of wrap, cucumber, and scallion were generous and perfectly balanced. The veggies were cooked al dente, just right, and the soup dumplings were filled with plenty of rich broth. The decor is beautiful -- very authentically Chinese, intimate yet elegant, and family-friendly at the same time. The staff were amazing, and we really enjoyed our meal. Definitely recommend it for families with kids as well as couples. The menu is simple but everything looks so good -- I'd love to try it all!

Pretty decent spot to dine if you are craving chinese food. Their pork soup dumplings were all broken at the bottom due to how thin the skin was but then the top part of the dumpling was so thick and doughy. We also tried their steak and peppers, pretty spicy but solid meal to fill you up. Their pekking duck was soft and tender. They gave a generous amount of wrap and cucumbers with scallion. Sad that their skin pieces were not that crispy so it was super greasy and hard to eat. Would I return? Probably not, but it wasn't bad either.

Scallion Pancake
Christopher Y.

located in exchange place, Jersey city! As I walked in I was greeted with the beautiful interior decor and staff had us seated right away. I just didn't like how the restaurant was empty when we went but was seated RIGHT next to a woman eating by herself. We ended up getting the scallion pancakes & the blue crab with rice cake. Scallion pancakes were good and crispy but could've used some sauce on the side to dip it in. The blue crab was good but was kinda pricey ($38) and didn't have much rice cake which was disappointing /: lovely Chinese cuisine spot overall though serving authentic Chinese dishes. Would recommend if you're craving Chinese food for sure

Solid Chinese spot. It wasnt as spicy as we thought. We thoroughly enjoyed the dumplings, egg sausage rice and kungpao chicken (could have been spicier). Service was super fast

Braise Pork Leg W.brown Sauce
Jakeem H.

Hello again, I'm gonna keep it short but it was ok at best. Service was non existed. Not once did the server ask us how everything was and I took offense to that. We're spending our money in your establishment and couldn't get "is everything ok." We won't be going back here.

SO GOOD. 62 Secret Kitchen seriously delivers on every level. The Peking duck was absolute fire - crispy, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. General Tso's chicken was perfectly balanced with just the right amount of heat and sweetness, and the beef udon? Totally addictive. Every dish we tried was a hit. Service was just as impressive. I dropped a chopstick and before I could even say a word, the server was already handing me a new pair - it's that kind of thoughtful, attentive service that really stands out. Without a doubt, this is the best Chinese food I've had in the area.

I got the lunch special. The fried fish was spicy and crispy. The portion was good as well…read more Service was a bit slow, I got there at the estimated time but had to wait another 15 min at the restaurant. Staff was good, they can speak in English and Mandarin. The inside was very quiet. I was surprised no one was dining inside considering the quality of the food was decent.

We've lived up the block from this place for 3 years and finally sat down to dine in. It was empty…read moreand the girl serving us was the only one there and didn't really provide us with customer service. We had to wait 15 minutes just for our sodas. The dishes are very unique in cultural sourcing - it's not what you expect of a regular Chinese restaurant. The servings are HUGE and good for 2 servings. The ambiance is not that great even though there's a big space and there was a lot of junk sitting around the place like extra stock of drinks and boxes all over the place. I don't think people really eat-in here. When I did takeout, it was still not worth the price of other similar restaurants in the area. Also this place doesn't have combinations sold together -- you have to buy rice on the side for EVERY dish which is not a traditional way to serve each dish in general. The prices here are not worth trying it - way overpriced and overcharged! Should be more affordable since we do not get the rice with the combination plates.

Flavorful food, excellent customer service…read more My husband and I went here for dinner on Thanksgiving. Around 6:30 pm it was quite busy. The wait for a table took about 10 min. We were seated at the very front where there was quite the draft when someone opened the door. They would probably benefit from a winter vestibule. Although the place was full and they received a lot of pick-up orders, the service was still attentive and fairly prompt. We ordered the Truffle Fried Rice, String Beans, and Mapo Tofu, all to be made vegetarian. The food took about 20-30 min to arrive. All of the dishes were flavorful, delicious, and pretty big portions for reasonable prices. The dishes are all a bit too oily for my taste but you can ask to adjust amount of oil. Towards the end, I tasted meat and double-checked with the waiter, and it turned out he didn't realize that we wanted Truffle Fried Rice to be vegetarian as well. Both he and the restaurant manager apologized multiple times. The manager comped our meal and also offered a gift card for the misunderstanding. Will definitely come back for the flavorful food and excellent customer service.

We got a sesame noodle dish, spicy beef, truffle fried rice and pork belly appetizer…read more The noodles were good and our waiter mixed it for us so we wouldn't get the sauce over ourselves. The truffle fried rice was nice but didn't have the "wok hay" fried crunchy bits I look forward to, the rice was rather soft and I wish it had more truffle flavor. The spicy beef came out in a giant pot of peppercorns and the broth was spicy and flavorful and the beef was velvety soft. The pork belly was light and not fatty as a cold dish. Overall a good experience. I've seen tables getting oranges at the end of their meal as a sweet treat but both times I've gone, my group has never gotten oranges :(

A Decade of Love on a Plate: A Local Favorite That Punches Above Its Weight…read more This place is the definition of a neighborhood gem--the kind you almost want to keep secret, yet can't stop yourself from praising. Cheap and cheerful on the surface, it punches way above its weight class, delivering inventive, clean, Asian-inspired food that's masterfully cooked by clearly skilled hands--and made with real love. I've been coming back year after year for most of this restaurant's 10-year lifespan, and that consistency is no accident. Every dish tastes intentional, thoughtful, and deeply satisfying, with a clear goal: to feed people love on a plate. It's a super veggie/vegan friendly that easily wins over even my "meat and potatoes" husband--who happily cleans his plate every time. In an era where genuine hospitality feels increasingly rare, Perry single-handedly restored my faith that quality service is not extinct. Warm, attentive, and authentically kind, Perry makes every guest feel seen, welcome, and cared for--without pretense or attitude. This is food that nourishes, service that uplifts, and a place that keeps you coming back not just for the flavors, but for how it makes you feel. A true neighborhood treasure.

Mediocre food and very slow service!…read more This place was a disappointment for what I hoped from a highly rated ramen place in the area. The service was quite slow, almost waited 1 hour for entrees to be brought to the table. It's a small place with limited staff working everything. The food was fairly basic. The fried rice seemed to be bland and below par despite ordering the spicy version. My friend who ordered the ramen liked the soup but the meat was not fully cooked and felt chewy.

The atmosphere is relaxed, with music playing at a low volume, so it's easy to have a good conversation without feeling overwhelmed by noise. It's a comfortable spot whether you're dining solo or with company. We ordered the shredded beef noodle soup with spicy green pepper. The soup was hot, rich in flavor, and had a nice level of spice. The portion was generous and very filling no need for extra noodles. We also tried the pan fried noodles with chicken and lamb. Both were well cooked and flavorful, but the lamb really stood out for being tender and well seasoned. Overall, the food was satisfying, the setup was convenient, and the atmosphere made the experience even better. Definitely a solid spot to check out if you're in the area and craving something comforting and flavorful.
