FYI - posting this a few months late (was in the drafts)…read more I really enjoyed my first dinner at Kurobuta with a friend! We shared some small plates and tried to get a good feel for the menu. Higher end vibe with some cool fusion elements to the options available - it's clear ingredients are high quality and presentation is very important to them. Even the drinks have fun little lights in them! Service was very kind and attentive but also lets you take your time - which is lovely! We had reservations which I don't think was necessary on a weeknight, but would recommend it for weekends. They mark your reserved table with a cute sign! Overall prices were a bit high for the portions but I understand it's likely for quality. Be prepared to spend if you're hungry!

Let me get one thing straight. Shan Shan Noodles doesn't care about this review. They don't care if…read moreyou come. Why? Because they are busy AF. They are buzzing. We went for the first time Sunday at like 3pm? Full. Take out orders flying out the door. It's a cute place. Standard strip mall aesthetic. But they do have a window where you can see them hand pulling the noodles. That's right, hand pulling the noodles which is the main attraction. The food is from the North Western part of China near Pakistan so there are some Indian influences like their Cumin lamb and pulled noodles one of their most popular dishes. But I'm getting ahead of myself. With my vegetarian wife who as usual ruins everything by insisting we order vegetarian appetizers. Scallion pancakes were delicious. No pictures because we ate them immediately. Pan fried dumpling. 9 of them. That's a big portion. And it was like 9-10 bucks? They make their own dumpling wrappers, their own dipping sauces. Dumplings were very good. You could really taste the vegetables. Focused on the quality of the ingredients. My wife had the hand pulled noodles in hot oil. Marked spicy it was American spicy. Did not blow your head off. O enjoyed them. They give you a pair of scissors. Because it's one long noodle. Do not use them on your birthday. More on that later. I had the aforementioned cumin lamb and pulled noodles. I liked it but it was overwhelmingly cumin flavored which obviously is the point of cumin lamb. I'm not saying over seasoned I'm just saying it announced itself as this is cumin lamb. Period. We also had bubble tea! How fun is that? My wife had taro which they made with non dairy milk for her. I had pomegranate with exploding bubbles. Never had those before. Also super fun. They did not explode in an American way or even a Chinese way as both countries let's face it are pretty well known for making things explode. No in a pleasant way. Waitress was delightful we had obviously a long conversation about the food and the restaurant. The scissors are for Americans who share their food. In China you would eat the noodles slurp them without cutting them because eating long noodles especially on your birthday is supposed to promote a long life. We did not learn this until after cutting my wife's noodles. It was her birthday. I will miss her but also look forward to meat based appetizers. One door closes and all that. They also own the bakery a few doors down. Very light chiffon style cakes. Not too sweet. Chocolate Oreo cake. I asked if that was very traditional. Oh how we laughed at my hilarious joke.

Coming in for some hot…read moreChinese food while it's bitter cold outside certainly hits just the right spot and starting with the steamed beef dumplings was a great choice. The dumplings were flavorful, hot, and perfectly steamed. They were definitely the highlight of our meal. Next came the beef pancake which was crunchy, chewy, had excellent flavor, but slightly heavy on the sauce. Lastly, was the braised beef noodle soup. The broth's flavor was on the mild side, whilst relying on the spice's heat to shine as the primary flavor. The beef was also mild, but especially tender. There was also a good amount of proteins in the soup and the hand pulled noodles were perfectly thick and chewy. Overall it was a great dish for a chilly night out.

Wow, great option for authentic chinese food at a very random location…read more Friend had recommended this to us and glad he did, because there is no way I would have found it.

There is an item in the menu that is Bill and Harry's chicken, but as I am vegetarian, I ask for it with tofu instead and they honor my request with no problem. Their sauce has a little spice to it, is very flavorful and just so good! All the food tasted super delicious, not very greasy considering it is Chinese. Grandma loved that they didn't put the sauce on her sweet and sour chicken, so by the time we got home, it didn't get soggy! The rice and all the noodles were flavorful. Will continue to go out of my way to get Chinese food here!

There are plenty of uncommon choices to try that cover all types of palates.

They also have a dry/frozen goods section if you're feeling ambitious and want to cook at home.

There are a decent amount of tables for dining in although it seems like they cater more to the takeout crowd. Everything we tried tasted authentic and made in house and not generic frozen then fried stuff. We enjoyed the braised beef noodle soup, dumplings, and scallion pancakes. Personally I would have enjoyed the dumplings and scallion pancakes even more if they had been accompanied by the sweet vinegar soy sauce which would not be authentic so that's just me! Food was great, fresh and came out fast!

I've been here easily a dozen times. It's one of the best NJ Chinese restaurants in NJ. Szechuan,…read moreHunan and, as they put it, American Chinese food is available. It's sort of Flushing very West. Often we are among the few diners who are not Asian. Food is excellent, authentic and reasonable. Yes I said reasonable. Quantities are large and often you take home leftovers for tomorrow. The kitchen is very accommodating to vegetarians, or just don't eat some food like pork and those who want less spicy food. Great dishes - I go with several mostly adventurous eaters so here goes - Cumin Lamb, Dan Dan noodles, Beef and Tripe with Chili Sauce (true confession I love tripe), Hot and Sour soup, Hunan Fried Fish with Spicy Sauce, Hunan Whole Braised Fish and Sichuan Mapo and Sichuan Fried Fish. One absolutely wonderful dish is Eggs with Tomatoes, which is sort of street food in China, as well as in many other cultures. It's simple and delicious. I've taken to making it at home using a New York Times recipe. But don't think the "regular" dishes aren't prepared with the same care and aren't as tasty. They are. The setting is pleasant and they have several tables with Lazy Susans so you can swirl food around. Service is prompt and quick. And if you get a dinner, you get ice cream!

They come in a microwaveable takeout container which is great if they are cold or you have some leftover. I had the Dan Dan noodles with pork. There was a lot of noodles! I couldn't even finish it. The sauces were great but maybe a little more pork would be nice to balance out all the noodles. Overall, I am looking forward to trying another dish and some of their potstickers next time! The chef and his mom are so sweet!

The rice was a beautiful brown color, not that bright yellow. It was so extremely tasty, the beef was tender and savory. The ribs were tender and delicious, with a well-balanced flavor. It came with an egg roll that I gobbled up. Next time, I will try the chicken wings (I was watching a guy cut them up and almost added them to my order) and some roast pork egg foo young. If my next experience is as good as the first, I will be picking up food for dinner next time my wife wants Chinese.

Even so, I make my order over the phone, ordering a small, not a large of the delicious Vegetable Mei Fun (due to being quite hungry after a smaller lunch of only 5g of protein a few hours earlier to an appointment). The price difference is a few dollars between the small and large. Still, what if one shows up at the eatery with only enough money to pay for the order set through the phone? The Vegetable Mei Fun is really tasty; my first bite consists of a few onions which are full of light savory-zesty flavor, a main highlight of the meal; every other part of the meal mixes in well, especially with the noodles which carry the flavors well. I don't find a need to add any other sauce though do add sauce to try the flavors mixing. All of the sauces mesh well with the ingredients though are not necessary. The original flavors of the meal are more than fine. The meal is quite filling. The eatery does not seem to have any set place for a customer to eat indoors. The eatery accepts different forms of payment. There is a dollar charge if one uses a debit card (which may be in connection with a minimum order amount).

Stopped in, very busy and had to wait on seating, so that was a good sign…read more The beef noodles in a clear broth (Qin Dan Nui Rui Mian) was excellent, and the Pan Fried Rice Cake with Mustard Green & Shredded Pork (雪菜肉絲炒年糕) is chewy and great - don't bring it as leftover as the rice cake gets hard when it's cold and hard to warm up again. Sliced Pork Ears with Hot & Spicy Seasoning / 麻辣耳絲 is spicy and delicious. Some of the best I've had in the US. Picked Cabbage / 泡菜 was ok, but more sweet & sour (white vinegar and sugar to cure it, I'm sure). The pork chop over rice - pork chop was good, but the rice with the braised pork sauce was just ok (and they're down to half a braised egg now instead of a whole). Overall still solid in my book.
