After learned that they couldn't add a fried egg and no sausage option with the grilled pork, I opted for the three meat combo over rice instead, beef, chicken and lamb. The meat were flavorful and honestly I couldn't tell between lamb and beef in the end. But it was so good, especially with the fish sauce, yummy. Kids enjoyed the fried rice and wanted more of the spring rolls. Only dish that we were thrilled by was the beef stew, ok to skip. The place is small with limited seating. If you are a party of more than four you could have a hard time with tables. There was just one small round table that could accommodate a part of six, but beyond that, they will have to put together a few tables which is a challenge on the weekends. Location is super convenient. There is a Haagen-Dazs right around the corner and a laundry mat. Drop off your laundry, get some Pho, then stop by Haagen Dazs for dessert, sounds like a perfect night.

I was back in my old neighborhood a while ago to do some things, and the folks suggested dinner at…read morethis small Vietnamese place. We arrived early, which was a good thing, as more and more people came in, including some families, and eventually there was a line of people trying to eat here. The service was friendly, though a tad slow, likely because they were overwhelmed. Since I had a headache, I got a Vietnamese Iced Coffee/Cà Phê Sữa Dá for $5.99. This was properly done, being lightly sweet with plenty of strong coffee flavor. On a side note, instead of the standard sriracha, they have a much tastier Vietnamese brand of hot sauce here, which I appreciated. We started with two appetizers. As they were out of the Curry Chicken Skewers/Gà Xiên Nướng Cà Rị, we started with the Lemongrass Beef Skewers/Bò Nướng Xả for $9.95, served with spring onion, fried onion flakes, and soybean peanut sauce. This was my favorite dish of the evening as the beef had plenty of lemongrass flavor, and was tender and juicy. The little side salad was a good accompaniment, and the sauce was nice, but not needed. I would recommend this heavily. We also got the Summer Rolls/Gỏi Cuốn for $7.49, with vermicelli, lettuce, mint leaves, pickled daikon, and peanut sauce. Said dish has a choice between shrimp and tofu, and we got the latter. These were standard with a slightly chewy wrapper and plenty of vegetables. This was nice and refreshing with a good peanut sauce. For my main dish, I got the Grilled Vermicelli Platter/Bún Thịt Nướng with Mỹ Tho vermicelli noodles, assorted vegetables, mint, and house dressing. The price depends on topping, and I got the $15.49 option with a combo of three, with my choices being pork, spring rolls, and beef. As with the appetizer, the beef was tender and had some lemongrass flavor. The pork was on the bone and likely marinated similarly to the beef and was also tasty, though a bit less tender. The spring rolls were freshly fried being hot and crunchy, though a little oily. They were my least favorite part, but I've never been the biggest fan of spring rolls, regardless of culture, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. The fish sauce added a mild sweetness to the cold vermicelli, and I liked the dish a bit more once I added their hot sauce as per usual. This was good overall and a good portion size to boot. Another person got a Pho with beef and brisket for $12.99, and there was also a decently priced Combination Pho/Phở Dặc Biệt for the same price as my entree. I tried a bit of the broth, which was good, and there were plenty of noodles. The last person, who was not as hungry, ordered a very reasonably priced Chicken Bahn Mi/Bánh Mì Gà for $8.95, which they liked. This was an above-average Vietnamese place, and I could see why there were lines to get in. The food was decently priced, the meat was cooked properly, and the portions were nice. I would recommend it if you're in the area and you're looking for Vietnamese food.

Beef was tangy spicy (but not too spicy) and crispy and it came out hot and fast. Appreciate the fact that the beef was not chewy or tough They also add these crispy onions on top of their bowls which is a nice touch. My boyfriend got the Cajun pork cutlet bowl over lo mein. You get to choose your base for the bowls which is nice. The lo mein noodles are thicker than the typical lo mein noodles you see at Chinese takeout, these look more like pho. Either way, I tried a bite and they were great and the flavors were there. My boyfriend also loves their soup and the homemade chips are awesome. In terms of ambiance this is more of a daytime spot. Not too many seats. It's very bright inside maybe because there's a lot of plants in there on the wall. It's still nice, just not that dim nighttime ambiance and there aren't a ton of seats . You place your order at the register or they also have a convenient self order kiosk. We will be definitely be back to try everything else on the menu.

My girlfriend and I visited Tasty Junction for an early dinner one Saturday. They weren't too busy…read moreso it was easy to find a table for 2. Once you sit down you scan a QR Code to order your food and drinks. I was pretty hungry that day so we ended up ordering a ton of food. The drinks were pretty good and they were served in Le Creuset mugs. Not the biggest deal, but I can appreciate some nice drinkware. The bowl of Kimchi Fried rice came out first. It was a generous portion and the rice was cooked well, but I feel like it could've used some more kimchi. The eggs on top were cooked perfectly and added good texture to the dish. The next dish to come out was the HK French toast. The bread was nice and fluffy which paired well with a nice generous drizzle of condensed milk. I enjoyed this a lot. We also ordered scallion pancake, pork barbecue, and bossam baos. These were ok, I would probably pass on a return visit. I felt like the meat in the baos was a little tough though they did have decent flavor. The last entree was the smoked salmon and avocado croissant; I really enjoyed this. It had a generous helping of smoked salmon and avocado as well. The saltiness of the salmon paired well with the creamy and fatty avocado. The croissant was also nice and flaky. It was also served with a house salad which had a nice drizzle of dressing on it too. For dessert we ordered a Black Sesame Souffle Pancake. This was SO good. A few months ago I visited a place in Princeton that specialized in these Japanese-style pancakes and Tasty Junction's version was so much more enjoyable. I loved that it was served with a healthy scoop of ice cream. The pancake was airy and had a bounce to it. Each bite was so good and made even better with the ice cream. I'd definitely come back just for the pancakes. All in all Tasty Junction is a great spot tucked away in Glen Rock

The Front Porch is always such a calm and relaxed atmosphere, which makes it a nice place to hang out. The loaded tater tots were delicious! The potatoes were nice and crispy, topped with green scallions, cheese, and bacon. That combination paired perfectly together! I also wanted to give the wings another try because I thought maybe the first time they just didn't hit because of the sauce. Unfortunately, I had the same experience this time. The wings are HUGE, but the flavors just don't do it for me. I ordered the hot honey and lemon pepper flavors. The hot honey was definitely more honey than hot, although I knew there was some heat there because I ended up with heartburn. The lemon pepper wings were also pretty light on the seasoning, and I definitely wanted more of that lemon pepper flavor. Overall, I'm not really a fan of the wings, but the loaded tater tots were definitely a win! I'd still come back for Trivia Night and the laid-back atmosphere.

After taking my birth mother for a visit to her Dr. recently, she offered to buy lunch and we came…read morehere, a restaurant she was familiar with. I wasn't, but I was agreeable to giving it a shot. Chinese food used to be a staple of my diet, but I eat it sporadically at this point. Not that I find it suddenly distasteful, but in the past, I always associated it with "big feasts," and in recent years I've been trying to eat healthier and wiser. When my late father was still living in Caldwell, after my mother died, we'd get together once a week and eat out. We'd either eat at Olive Garden (which he, for some reason, loved and I came to grudgingly like) or the Original Pancake House (which I sorely miss) or a Chinese restaurant that was located in a Caldwell shopping center (the name of it escapes me now, although I liked it a lot). I'd always order Wonton Soup and the Happy Family platter, which included an Olympic-sized portion of pork, chicken, scallops, shrimp, beef, broccoli, carrots-- all mixed up in a thick brown sauce over a bed of rice (brown rice, in "deference to healthy eating."). After dining there, I'd waddle out with my father, feeling like an overstuffed King George IV, amazed yet again at my overindulgence, my head about to explode into migraine agony from the MSG. I later heard Andrew Zimmern say that it's racist to ascribe all MSG agonies to Chinese restaurants, since MSG has been present in all kinds of food, and I'd normally be in agreement, but I know that nearly every time I ate out in that particular restaurant with Dad, I'd get a brutal migraine afterwards. And you know what? I didn't mind. Maybe I'm a masochist at heart, but the food was so good, and so satisfying, that I was willing to suffer for my gluttony. Anyway, back to the present... Empire Hunan is located on Broadway, a heavily traveled thoroughfare that leads in 1 direction to Ft. Lee, in another to Paterson. There was parking on the side. Given that we were dining on an off hour, parking wasn't a problem. The restaurant also serves Japanese food, which I don't occasionally mind having, but we were focused on this particular day on the Chinese part of their cuisine (I think Japanese might be a little too exotic for my birth mother's somewhat finicky, idiosyncratic tastes. For instance, whenever I eat fish, which I love, she looks repulsed, and asks, "How can you eat that?" "Very easily," I reply. If she doesn't like fish...and she doesn't...Japanese cuisine is probably going to be a problem.). Inside, we were led to a booth. There were only a few other people in the restaurant at that hour. Atmosphere wasn't off-putting. The room wasn't especially well lit, but the shadowy ambiance appealed to me. Service was pleasant and prompt. I can't remember exactly what Mom ordered, but I started with a bowl of Wonton Soup, and... maybe for "old times sake"... the Happy Family. Wonton Soup was hot and tasty. We were also served those crispy noodles with a bowl of hot mustard and a bowl of duck sauce. Again, nostalgia kicked in (as well as hunger), and I dived in (but not before...being the gentleman I like to think I am... beckoning for Mom to partake first. She declined to partake at all.). The hot mustard was potent indeed and cleared my nostrils right out, as well as bringing tears to my eyes. I decided to stick to the pleasantly sweet duck sauce. The Happy Family wasn't the gargantuan feast I remembered from bygone days. It was still basically the same dish on a bed of brown rice (instead of carrots, it had green peppers, which didn't ruin it for me, but I would have preferred the carrots, as I'm not a green pepper lover) but the portion size was more moderate than I used to have at that Caldwell restaurant. Part of me missed the epic amounts of food that I used to readily consume in the past. But, overall, it was a satisfying meal, and the prices seemed fair (although Mom paid, so perhaps I'm not in the best position to access affordability. I did pay the tip, and I'm always a good tipper, or at least try to be). And I didn't get a headache. Also, I'm sure my delicate digestive system (it has become very delicate in recent years, unfortunately) was appropriately grateful for my restraint (if a digestive system has its own separate sentience from the human organism...namely, me...that it's a part of, that is!). And no dessert! Whoever thought I'd live to say that? At 1 point, I used the men's room, and the bathroom seemed clean and tidy enough. If I were still the glutton I once was, I guess I might have lowered my rating to 3 stars (which I guess rates these days as "meh") instead of 4. But since I'm trying in my old age to eat like a normal, healthy, civilized person--- I'm recommending Empire Hunan. Good food in a nice setting.
