I was looking for a different Chinese restaurant to try in Jersey City, particularly one that had a…read moredecent variety of vegetarian offerings. Fortunately, we discovered Yuan, located in the office area of Newport. We arrived shortly after 6pm on a Friday evening, effectively an early dinner for us and most. The bright side is that we were able to finish easily within an hour. I do enjoy their little booths. We sat in one and kinda felt private even if it wasn't. Just a nice little touch, we felt. To start, we ordered the Eggplant with Minced Pepper Sauce. This had a really nice kick to it. A pretty cool way to eat Eggplant. We enjoyed it. After that, we split Veggie Noodles & the Kung Pao Tofu. The noodles were great as I anticipated. The Kung Pao Tofu was cooked pretty well too. I was looking for something different from the Ma Po Tofu I'm used to eating as I'm getting a little sick of the after taste. This Kung Pao, like most others, has a combination of every flavor palette. Perhaps a little too much for me, but maybe if they could make a General Tso's Tofu, that'll bring me back to my memories of Chinese Takeout! Anyhow, this place is pretty good for dinner at a reasonable time. I highly recommend. My other half will be trying the non-vegetarian options in the future!

We opted for traditional beef broccoli as well and it was flavorful as the noodles. I was happy with every bite! I noticed 3 tables (all chinese folks) were served with the fish dish and as we passed by the dish looked so appetizing so felt we missed out even though the dishes we ordered were very good and flavorful. Definitely will try the fish next go round. Waitress was excellent and provided explanation of the dishes on the menu written both in chinese and english. She provided insider knowledge and created a nice and friendly atmosphere.Inside aesthetic was pleasant, clean & modern setting. We had best seat by the window on the corner just added to a great dining experience!

Their soup dumplings are impeccable and I would say their egg custard with black truffle is the best I've ever tasted. They also have a tangerine pu'ar tea they serve with an ornate glass teapot and they rest it on a heater with a candle. Their peach gummy tremella dessert (sort of a health/beauty food served chilled or hot) was also quite good. Exceptional and very attentive service, and the interior is very stylish, well-decorated and chill. The restaurant is also a chain with locations in NY & NJ including Flushing, Long Island, and Manhattan in NY as well as Jersey City (this one) and Fort Lee. Highly recommended!

Just look at the restroom photo, reflecting a highly curated & cared for design. Service here was efficient & kind. The waitress was very patient and courteous. I'm thinking the location of this restaurant makes it difficult to solicit foot traffic guests, as only one other party sat and another came for takeout during my time dining here. Everyone's missing out though, the food here is delicious. The Thai tofu is nice and crispy, with a hollow bite to it. I didn't love this appetizer, but I'd still get it again. The pho special is plated so lovely. The noodle portion is substantial, and the meat is at a "just right" amount provided. The broth here though was heavenly. A little bit heavier on utilizing fish sauce in the broth, the notes are prominent and remind me of pho back home. Fried egg was an add-on, an amazing accompaniment to the dish.
