Ordered lunch via GrubHub from here and it was solid…read more The lunch special entrees are great and they come with your choice of rice and then a choice between soup or egg roll as well. It seems that both the pepper steak and chicken with broccoli were in the same sauce (& I've actually found that to be common in this area for some reason) but were tasty overall. The egg roll was quite greasy and the wonton soup was pretty solid with the broth being the star. Oh the white rice was cooked how I expect and wish all Chinese white rice is cooked so that's a plus. Overall a true 3.5 star rating but since halves aren't possible I had to go to 3 because it certainly wasn't a 4.

This restaurant is always packed during dinner time, and the takeout phone keeps ringing nonstop…read more The moment you walk in, you can immediately feel how popular and lively the place is. The food offers great value for the price, especially because the portions are very generous. Sometimes ordering just three dishes is enough to last for two days. It's truly worth it. On top of that, the service is exceptionally good -- everyone is friendly and welcoming with genuine smiles. I highly recommend this restaurant, especially from the perspective of someone who has eaten Chinese food all their life. They are very flexible at the customers can your choice . Have Their dishes are especially impressive and well worth trying.

Shu House is a great staple if you're looking for authentic local Chinese food…read more The food here is really, really good--pretty much everything we ordered was delicious. The standout for me was the Jiang Bei Hot Sauce Live Whole Fish, which was packed with flavor and absolutely worth ordering. You can split this dish amongst a whole family since the portions are huge! The General Tso's Chicken is always a classic, and I love the tender chicken drenched in tangy sauce. This is where things got a little tricky. We had a reservation but ended up waiting about 40 minutes past our reservation time to actually be seated. On a busy weekend, I understand restaurants can get slammed, but waiting 40 minutes after having a reservation is frustrating. It seems like their weekend reservation situation can get a little chaotic, so just be prepared to practice your patience. Once we were seated, the staff was fine and the service was efficient. Overall, I'll return for the food or get takeout but just be prepared to wait a bit.

In my four years as a student on Princeton campus, there hasn't been another restaurant remotely…read moreclose to SC House in terms of the consistency of their offerings and also the deliciousness of their food. The lunch specials that run M-F from 11:00-2:00 is so so good. the 土豆丝 is absolutely to die for. the restaurant may be a bit of a walk from main campus especially if you are not coming from the engineering quad, but wow, is the walk worth it every time. the free 蛋花汤 that comes with every lunch special entree order is great, and each of the specials are very affordably priced. I highly recommend the rattan pepper fish, the kung po chicken, and the lamb with cumin. outside of these options, I also highly recommend trying their pork belly entree (if you are coming for dinner) or their egg tofu dish. prices are not as good for dinner portions but I think if you are eating potluck style with friends it's worth it. service is solid - the staff make sure your waters are filled and that you are waited on properly. food comes out decently fast and the bathroom at this establishment has always been clean when I visit (probably over 20-30 times at this point) SC House also does a great job offering catering discounts to student groups so that aspect also deserves a shoutout. Will sorely miss this little chinese restaurant when I graduate this coming may.

Have not been here in years and I can report the food is just as fresh and scalding as I remember…read more If you enjoy cauterizing your tongue with spice have at it. The letdown is the service which I'm sad to report (at least on this day) was slow and indifferent. Fine, if this were a hole in the wall take-out joint but at the prevailing price points, is just annoying (at best.) Three middling stars.

Very mediocre food overall and I highly suggest you eat somewhere else…read more Soup dumplings: the filling was like a big fat meatball. Broth was good but the meat inside wasn't super flavorful and it was HELLA dense. No balance whatsoever Chive pancakes: errr definitely better but she was a little pasty looking. Definitely needed some more time in the pan because it was limpy af. Filling was normal. The sauce? + meatball + noodles dish: errrrr DEF PASS. I don't know how to even describe it, like the meatball was the same meat as the pork dumplings?!?!?!? LOL. The sauce or broth was SUPER thick. Not exactly light and refreshing and the flavors weren't it either. Felt like a mosh pit of things lying in the kitchen The fried rice: The ONLY redeeming quality. It has bacon in it and was super flavorful and rich. Downside is it's a bit too greasy but flavor ig??? Taro buns: your regular buns, not too sweet. Doubt it's made in house tho LOL.

It's kind of like hotpot in terms of flavor profile and customization but made in the kitchen. In that way, it's like a hot pot experience but more low-key and cheaper. In terms of quality, I absolutely love mala flavor--sichuan food is some of my favorite in the world--so I have tried my fair share, and this place is quite good. The portions are large and reasonably priced. Honestly, you could probably split a soup if you aren't a big eater. They're also BYOB which is nice. I would definitely come back here in the future.

But each time I went I remember the food always being good. There is such an amazing variety of food to choose from on the menu. And the quality was consistently good and flavorful. We never had problems with this place at all and it is worth going to for lunch or dinner. The service was always pretty good too with no issues. The interior has changed over time, but it still looks nice and beautiful. I would recommend going here if you're visiting West Windsor, or if you're just nearby.

They still have the ridiculous 3.9% "operating fee". I give that 0*. It is higher than the 3% credit card fee some other restaurants charge. They need to find a cheaper credit card processor. For those paying cash, they give a 1.29% discount. Total including sales tax = $34.09 Total if paying with credit card = $34.09 + $1.33 (operating fee) = $35.42 Total if paying cash = $33.65 .

Where do I start?…read more On Friday we stopped in for lunch around 12:30. We were greeted nicely and bought waters with lemon as we asked. I ordered won ton soup, shrimp with vegetables and fried rice. My gluten free friend brought a new bottle of gf soy sauce. She ordered rice noodles with vegetables and added tofu. She chose not to have soup and asked for her won ton to be packed to go. The waiter whose English wasn't so good very nicely took the bottle with him to the kitchen so her food would be prepared with it. I noted the fork at my place was not clean and moved it aside. Next he brings me a soup plate with broth and 2 big doughy won ton. Neither the broth not the won ton were more than tepid. The won ton was not to my liking. I took one bite and pushed my bowl aside. Next the entrees neither were more than barely warm! My shrimp were a bit smaller than quarter sized, broccoli was nice and the rice too, but the sauce had absolutely no flavor. No flavor and cold. The rice noodle dish was fine but flavorless and lacked the vegetables she ordered. Usually she would tell the server that she can have garlic and ginger, but she didn't. And the food was not hot at all. The place was busy with just the one waiter. He very nicely brought the won ton soup to go for her when he brought the check. He also wrapped all the leftovers to go. We did not complain because everything deserved a complaint. We had also lost interest. This experience did not get only 1 star, because of the waiter who was the only one in the busy restaurant. He was doing his best, but the kitchen needs to do its best. We tipped him nicely, and deposited the take home won ton in the trash can down the sidewalk away from the restaurant.
