It's been a while since we have been to Uncle Vinnie's so we decided to meet our friends there last…read morenight (Thursday) at 7pm. When we arrived a bit early, the place was packed. No tables or seats available at the bar with several parties waiting patiently. We were warmly greeted by the manager as he told us it would be at least 45--60 minutes for a four top. My bride noticed a single chair open on the far side of the bar so we made our way through the friendly crowd. The vibe here is causal with a very friendly neighborhood feel. We eventually made it over to the open seat as patrons on both sides skooted over to make room for us. The bartenders were getting slammed but they promptly acknowledged us and took our order shortly after. My martini was served in a well chilled glass with olives and my bride's chardonnay was perfect temperature. Soon after getting our drinks, as our friends arrived, two more seats at the bar opened up, so they took them and order their drinks. A short while later a couple of octogenarians entered the packed bar area, so we gave them our seats. At this point, we ordered another round and patiently waited for a table to open up. The manager stopped by a few times with estimated updates. He did a great job of keeping us advised and about an hour later we were seated. We ordered fried calamari and oyster appetizers. Our friends had mussels marinara, my bride has Caesar's salad and calamari and I had the soft shell crabs. We shared a bottle of Albarino (Great value). The food arrived in a nice relaxed pace as the waiting patrons were all seated at this point. As usual, the food was all on the mark. Nice tentacles with the calamari, perfecting flash fried. My oysters were cold, briney and firm. The mussel portion was very generous and the marinara had just the right medium zip. My sauteed soft shell crabs were perfectly cooked and served with tasty garlic enhanced spinach. We enjoyed our conversations and didnt notice we were the last patrons in the place. Regardless, there was no rush. I had some expresso before heading out. This place has been very consistent, even when packed. We will definitely return. Just a reminder. They dont take reservations, so be prepared to chill with the friendly crowd while you wait... and bring cash as they dont accept credit cards.

The service was good, there was only one worker and it look a bit for us to get our drinks because she was both making drinks and taking orders. What we ordered: - Hojicha tea - Mojito Lemonade We didn't love our drinks but we also didn't hate them. My Mojito Lemonade didn't have a lot flavors of any kind. Not in lemony, minty, sugary - which is all the things I think it when I think of a mojito or lemonade. My husband got the hojicha iced tea. We've only ever had other hojicha in a latte and asked if they made those but was told that they didn't. It was not bad by any means just different.

It's completely okay for the pastries being outsourced but at the end of the day, it either tastes good or doesn't and unfortunately, for its a hidden cafe it was one disappointment after the next when it came to the food. Also, the cost of one shoprite apple turnovers from the cafe buys you the whole case at shoprite which is *actually* the same exact food. The breakfast sandwich was the most unflavorful and bland breakfast sandwich I've ever had, counting both outside and even at home. It was difficult to take a third or fourth bite of any of the food. The coffee also did not stand out to me in any way. Coming in very hungry, I was excited and while food typically tastes better when hungry, I just couldn't enjoy it. with this experience, I have to give the food a 2/5 If you're looking for a spot to hangout or get some work in, I'd say it's worth visiting. It is decorated nicely and has board games and a decent amount of seating and some mini tables. It looks like a feel good place people can stop by to sit and relax for a little bit. Service is fine, the owner is chill and nice to talk to.

The menu is a fantastic blend of authentic Peruvian flavors with distinct Japanese and Chinese influences that make this cuisine so unique. The atmosphere is modest, warm, and incredibly welcoming, and our server was absolutely terrific. I had the Bistec a la Pobre ($22) -- a perfectly-marinated hanger steak served over generous portions of french fries, white rice topped with a freshly fried egg, and a side of grilled sweet plantains. YUM! The flavors were absolutely spot on. My dining companion loved her Pollo Saltado ($19) -- a generous portion of tender, boneless marinated chicken sauteed with onion, peppers, and tomato served over french fries with a side of white rice.

The issue is that the sandwiches sound delicious on the menu but the reality doesn't live up to my expectations. My husband order some spicy Mexican inspired fried catfish sandwich for himself and a fried scallop sandwich for me. The sandwiches presented well but both lacked flavor, salt & seasoning in general. Even the soups; one was supposed to be red lentils but looked mostly yellow lentil and again desperately needed salt for one and would have been improved with additional seasonings. Whoever made the manhattan clam chowder got the recipe correct. It was the only thing that was tasty without needing alteration. The owner is nice and after my first poor review offered to make me a replacement but I didn't take him up on the offer. If they only get it right while someone is watching over their shoulder, what's the point. It is NOT a cheap lunch so to be disappointed is a real bummer. Better to stick with the raw seafood items or some prepackaged items (hummus & great flatbreads).

I have recently moved to New Jersey and I have been looking for Chinese restaurants to eat. I have been to 3 Chinese restaurants before China Moon and I have to say that I'm very happy that I found a new place to eat. The service was nice and the lady working at the counter was very polite and was willing to recommend some popular dishes from their menu. I did wait for 45 minutes for a pick up on a Friday night but I understand because they were packed and were short on employees. In the mean time, I was watching the fishes and one employee at the front was talking to me while I was waiting for food. Even though it took a while the food was nice and hot and it was very delicious. I was happy with the outcome as the lady at the front offered to give me a discount because I waited for 45 mins. I will definitely come back to eat and happy to say that I have found my new favorite Chinese restaurant to eat at. read more

I have moved to Florida and back to Jersey recently. I've missed the food here so much and was desperately wanting to get my favorite - pepper steak w/ onions. I was shocked by the layout as they have reconstructed the interior over a year ago. I wasn't happy with the tv because there was a lady on the channel that was playing that I dislike. It was not their fault though. I asked for the lady to change the channel and she was happy to help. I also asked for sweet and low and she was willing to help an old man out. I'm very happy with the service and she really helped me through my meal. She came to check in on me and see if I needed more water and I was very happy. Will definitely come back to dine in and grab carry outs soon. read more

My family and I moved out of Hillsborough two years ago and just moved back recently. Came back to our favorite restaurant of all time and the food was great. They have remodeled and I was shook. The only thing I would say is how the food tastes different, not in a bad way. Asked if they got new chefs and they said yes. That explains why the taste is a little different but overall still really good. Definitely will return again for my favorite food - dumplings and general tso's chicken!! read more

My dining companion and I stopped in for a weekday dinner on our commute back from Princeton. Even without a reservation on a Thursday night, the hostess was able to seat us immediately. The menu is extensive, featuring all the standard curries (Green, Yellow, Red, Massaman, and Panang) and various special entrées that can be customized with your choice of protein--including duck and mixed seafood--and your preferred spice level. I had the Pad Phet Paa with vegetables and tofu ($17), sautéed with bamboo shoots, long beans, onions, bell peppers, lime leaves, and basil leaves, served with rice. It's described on the menu as being sautéed with a dry curry paste and no coconut milk, but seemed a bit more like a traditional curry (that is, more liquid) than I anticipated. My dining companion ordered the Pad Kra Pao with vegetables ($17), sautéed with onions, mushrooms, bell peppers, peppers and Thai basil leaves, served with rice. Our food was served very quickly and we both thought our dishes were decent and satisfied our craving for Thai, but the flavors didn't quite stand out as anything special. The biggest drawback is the parking lot. Because it is shared with a supermarket, an apartment building, and several other high-traffic takeout spots, finding a parking space during peak hours can be a real struggle. Be prepared to circle the lot for a few minutes before you find a spot. Overall, it's a decent and reliable option for freshly-prepared Thai food if you're already in the neighborhood, but probably not somewhere I'd go out of my way for again.
