My family and I love coming here on Sundays when they have their dim sum carts. We usually go early right when they open because it does it packed. It is a large location and they have a good variety of items. They are even open on holidays and we have had a lot of lovely memories there. I would recommend this place if you're in the area or want to try dim sum dishes. read more

Golden Seafood Restaurant - Seafood Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

The food was average, but the service was an absolute horror story. They withheld our credit card for an eternity until we ask for it. Because of the terrible experience, we left a 5% tip. When we leave, a male waiter physically blocked the exit, trapping us inside the restaurant. He aggressively demanded a higher tip, yelling that their minimum tip requirement is 15%. When we refused to comply with this forced fee, he resorted to severe verbal aggression, screaming at us and yelling that we should never come back. Having lived in the US for 20 years, I have never experienced such unsafe, lawless behavior over a tipping dispute. Stay away! Any they delete my Google review. read more

Golden Seafood Restaurant - Seafood Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

This review reflects our experience with weekend dim sum only. I have not dined here for dinner, so I can't speak to that aspect of the restaurant. Dim sum here follows the classic weekend tradition: ladies and gentlemen push carts through the dining room, and you select dishes by peering at what's stacked on their trays. Unlike Chinatown, nothing is announced aloud. You have to ask them what they have before they tell you. With a packed house, the resulting cacophony makes conversation a challenge. You often have to strain just to be heard. Here are the dishes we ordered: Deep-fried shrimp w/salt & pepper - Flavor was decent but messy. (3/5 stars) Baked sweet egg yolk bun - Best enjoyed when piping hot. (4/5 stars) Steamed sticky rice with pork sausage in a lotus leaf - Lacked filling. (3/5 stars) Steamed spareribs w/black bean sauce - Not enough black bean sauce, and the meat was tough. (3/5 stars) Steamed bean curd roll with pork - Rubbery skin texture and barely any pork. (3/5 stars) Steamed chicken feet in black bean sauce - Again, not enough black bean sauce. (3/5 stars) Steamed beef rice noodle Roll - Flavorful, but eat quickly as it gets cold easily. (4/5 stars) Roasted pork pastry - Too doughy and dry. (3/5 stars) Deep-fried squid w/salt & pepper - Skin membrane wasn't fully removed before cooking. (2/5 stars) Service was noticeably lacking. After being seated, we were largely left alone. Empty teapots went unnoticed, and many diners had to flag down any available server just to get their check, often unsuccessfully. Eventually, people began walking up to the cashier to pay. Those needing takeout containers often helped themselves from the back. From conversations with friends and after trying several dim sum spots in the Edison area, this is considered one of the better options. That said, while this place may once have been excellent, it now feels a bit too relaxed--almost complacent. For us, the search for a better dim sum experience continues. read more

Had a late lunch on Sunday when dim sum carts were no longer available. The restaurant was very quiet. We had pork chop in Peking style and fish filet and beans curd casserole. The pork chop was tasty but it was on a sweet side. The casserole came with fried fish and fried bean curd without much vegetables. The service was ok but it seems like price of the menu went up. read more

The food is COLD... please don't serve us food if it's not hot at all, not even warm. We arrived around 2-ish pm. I know dum sum is around noon, but still, if you plan to serve leftovers, make sure they are hot. We definitely will not come back. Prices are expensive. The bathroom floor is wet and NEEDS to be dry. Service is very bad; no one comes to assist you. You have to raise your hand for a while before they notice you. Sorry but hopefully this can you improve better for future customer. read more

Golden Seafood Restaurant - Cold pork bun - Seafood Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Straight away I want to be clear that my review should really be a 3.5 Star if half stars were a thing on Yelp. I'm being generous and rounding up to 4. It should also be noted that I went the day before Chinese New Year, which impacted the service but I'll touch on that below. Recently while shopping at Kam Man (across the road) I caught a glimpse of Golden Seafood Restaurant out of the corner of my eye and ran across the road to check it out. What I saw inside activated some nostalgic brain cells. The interior felt like something out of the Manhattan Chinatown of my past with a rather plain interior with decorations on the walls, large round tables and smaller rectangular tables and a raised platform on one side of the restaurant (mind you, there is a GIANT screen behind it so that's not retro). I wanted to check this place out and the day before Chinese New Year in 2026 I did! When I came in with my GF there were about a dozen people already waiting for tables. It was about 7:30PM and the place was *packed*. It was the day before Chinese New Year, so no shock there. However, I figured since it was just two of us, we would get seated fairly quickly - and I was right! By the time we were seated, it was about 7:45PM and most of the larger parties were on their way out. The staff was clearly exhausted. You could tell it had been a long day so I was clearly not seeing them at their best. We were served a pot of tea very quickly, but no one ever came over to take our order. I finally called to a waiter who was walking in our general direction and he took our order. The food took a LONG time to come out. I think easily a bit over a half hour. Again, given the date this did not shock me and in a future visit I'll be paying attention to how long the food takes to come out. Here's what we got: Stir Fried Pea Shoots with Garlic Beautifully done. The vegetables were perfectly cooked, tender but not overdone. A good amount of garlic was used, giving it a really nice flavor. Beef with Broad Noodles This is one of my favorite dishes and I've had great examples of it and terrible ones. This falls in the middle, like, a solid B-. The flavors were on point and it was cooked perfectly. My only issue is that I'm used to having more scallion and bean sprouts in it. They were kind of stingy on those, but I enjoyed the flavor. Salted Fish, Chicken, Eggplant casserole This is also one of my favorite dishes and I enjoyed this version quite a bit. The key is to be able to taste the salted fish as some places do not use enough. In this case they did without it becoming overwhelming. It was cooked fresh (as such dishes should be). Everything was nice and tender and very savory. Much to my sadness, they do NOT have sweet soup for dessert, only orange slices. I was surprised as 1-9 Seafood *does* have it (though you generally have to ask for it). Overall I enjoyed my experience at Golden Seafood Restaurant and I would absolutely come back again! read more

I went to Golden Seafood in Edison, and I was really impressed with how many options they have. Whether you like seafood, chicken, pork, beef, or even vegan dishes, there's something for everyone. The place was super clean and not crowded at all, though that might be because we went on a Thursday night. We ordered hot tea, steamed dumplings, egg rolls, garlic beef with green beans, and Kung Pao chicken. Everything was really flavorful and delicious without being too salty. The only thing I wish they would change is that the dinner meals should come with rice. read more

Immediately following a visit of a beloved family member in New Jersey my party decided Dim Sum within New Jersey state since we have already entered two (2) bridges, through the New Jersey Turnpike toll and, in addition, to avoid the standard Saturday lunch peak Dim Sum hours of Brooklyn, NY. We awoken very early for preparation and the long-haul drive for this visit with our respective small breakfasts which later hunger pangs strike. My family member found Golden Seaford Restaurant via Google search. Golden Seafood Restaurant is a Chinese banquet restaurant located in Edison, NJ with a large free parking lot shared commercial space with neighboring businesses in a shopping plaza. This Dim Sum restaurant also serves neighboring New Brunswick locale. There is a Japanese beckoning cat maneki-neko 招き猫 in this business to welcome patrons or to bless this business for prosperity. There is also one golden laughing Buddha holding alms bowl and prayer beads. There are free fortune cookies located at the register counter and business card also available for grabs. We entered early approximately 11:00 am and were promptly seated. There were many standard Cantonese Dim Sum dishes lacking as 鱼丸 jyu4 jyun4, fish balls. The staff speaks Cantonese which is very good to hear Cantonese spoken as it is mellifluous... at long last to continue this vernacular Chinese language. We found the quality of food average. There is a dine-in menu to order platter entrées if the Dim Sum dishes does not eat your fill. My foodie analysis: 蝦 餃 haa1 gaau2, shrimp dumplings Good consistency. The dumpling skin is not hard nor thick. 燒賣 siu1 maai6/2, pork and mushroom dumpling Good consistency. 珍珠雞 zan1 zyu1 gai1 mini sticky rice wrapped in Lotus leaves Good consistency. 蒸排骨 zing1 paai4 guk6, steamed spare ribs The spare ribs were swimming in oil and contained very minimal meat for paucity. 牛腸粉 ngau4 coeng4 fan2, beef cheung fun I really enjoyed this dish. The rice noodle was a delight. We ordered two of this dish. 蝦腸粉 haa1 coeng4 fan2, shrimp cheung fun I really enjoyed this dish. The rice noodle was a delight. 牛肉丸 ngau4 juk6 jyun4, steamed beef balls The Dim Sum trolley woman did not cut these in half. It was somewhat easily to break in half using chopsticks. Thankfully, these balls were not annoyingly wrapped in bean curd like other Dim Sum restaurants in NYC. Sans the bean curd, please! Unfortunately since we arrived early morning before 12:00 pm noon on a Saturday, there were no desserts in the Dim Sum trolleys in plain view. Disappointedly, my default favorite Dim Sum desserts were all devoid: 芒 果 布甸 mong4/1 gwo2 bou3 din1, mango pudding 杏仁豆腐 hang6 jan4 dau6 fu6, almond pudding 椰汁糕 je4 zap1 gou1, coconut pudding I was baffled that 芝麻卷 zi1 maa4 gyun2, black sesame roll was also devoid as this is my family member's favorite dessert. Subsequently, I munched on ice cream upon returning home for dessert. Facilities are available and relatively clean. Customer service is attentive as we were promptly seated, our plates were changed, the finished Dim Sum plates were removed, our tea pot were refilled, flagging a wait staff associate and our claim check bill were hand written tallied in a timely matter. My desideratum is for more food options of Dim Sum trolleys to circulate within the restaurant including dessert. No one in my party became ill as a result of our dining experience. As per this Golden Seafood Restaurant's business card, there is a private room for karaoke TV where patrons can sing and eat Dim Sum. Price is high which is standard that accurately aligns with inflation/ tariff era. Unfortunately Chinese soy sauce are subjected to No. 47's plaguing unrealistic excessive exorbitant tariffs from China. read more

Had a private room for my mom's birthday. We ordered off the menu instead of the fixed menu. Lots of young nieces and nephews not interested in that menu. Food: very small portions Who csn mess up beef chow fun? They did. A plate piled up with chow fun. Maybe 2 or 3 tiny pieces of flank steak, colorless, no bean sprouts, no onions. Nothing. It looked Like plain chow fun with soy sauce coloring. Clams were good but again very small portion. Garlic chicken was OK. Not piping hot. Go someplace else to eat. Everything was sub par. Really disappointed. We should've gone to Chinatown. Service was okay. Not overly friendly. Bathroom was clean. Parking is free and plentiful. The restaurant is connected to a strip mall. read more

Came on a Tuesday afternoon at 11:00am the day before NYE. A few large tables but no wait and not too busy. Interior was cute with an AI holiday youtube video playing on silent. We ordered veg lo mein, veg spring roll, steamed shrimp dump, steamed beef tripe with ginger and scallion, sweet egg yolk bun, beef rice roll, pork bun, shumai, chinese dough with rice noodle, turnip cake, shrimp with snow pea leaf dumpling. No carts but everything was fresh except for the deep fried mochi pork dumpling (ham sui gok), would 100% pass on it since it was cold (and oily because it was cold) but not the first restaurant to do this. Otherwise the shrimp with snow pea leaf was a big winner. No carts on weekdays. Service was hard to get hold of in the beginning but after our order was in food kept coming out, tea was refilled. Had to pay attention though since servers brought us things at the end that wasn't ours! read more

This spot gets the job done if you're looking for no frills dim sum! We were able to get in during peak dimsum hours on a Saturday (with plenty of parking in that particular commercial area), though as a smaller group we had to share a round table with other parties. There is a good selection of typical dim sum plates, and some of my favorites are the golden egg yolk buns, the shrimp in peppers, the congee, and shrimp scallion buns. Unfortunately almost all of the soup dumplings we ordered were split so we weren't able to really enjoy it the way it was intended to. The service is pretty fast and it's in the traditional dim sum format with carts containing various dishes that circulate around. We left feeling pretty full for three people, and the prices were reasonable. read more

Authentic Cantonese food served here. Service is what you would expect for an authentic restaurant (polite but expect to flag down the waiters for things). We followed a general rule that has served us well and ordered one dish per adult +1 and it was the perfect amount. Ambiance is a good place for going for a family style dinner, perhaps not great for date night. read more

Randomly craving dim sum in Edison while I was visiting my parents and Yelp led me to this place. Parking: Large free parking lot in a shopping center. Walking in: Lines are long on the weekend for lunch but I've never waited more than 10 minutes here. There are plenty of tables and this place is great for large groups. Dim Sum: Carts are only on the weekends during lunch time. Dim sum ordering is via menu on the weekdays (which is fresher). They do not serve dim sum for dinner. My go-to's when I come here: - Shrimp shumai - Steamed shrimp dumpling - Shrimp rice noodle roll - Steamed roasted pork bun - Steamed sticky rice - Sautéed Chinese broccoli Service: Not that great. Once you figure out what you want, flag down a waiter and order everything at once because you will never see your waiter again. But they will definitely bring you everything you order- including a fork for my dad who has yet to figure out chop sticks. Overall, the food here is fresh and tasty and one of these days I need to come back and try out their dinner menu. read more

Our party of 12 came here with a Friday night reservation for 6:30 PM. We weren't celebrating anything in particular but we did order a lot of the classic birthday dishes, including fried flounder, lobster, abalone, chicken, conch with fried tofu and shrimp, fried shrimp with mayo, sweet and sour pork ribs, longevity noodles, and fried rice. I haven't had this type of traditional Cantonese food in years, so this was very nostalgic for me. My favorites were definitely the fried flounder and the lobster. The shrimp with mayo was a little disappointing because it was just a lot of batter. Typically, it should just be a light coating, so that was a bit different. Although this is a bit far for me, I think I would still be willing to make the trek every once in a while, especially since there isn't really any authentic Cantonese food by my neighborhood. read more

Super busy on weekends as everyone comes for dim sum - expect a little bit of a wait. If you are willing to share a table with another group, it'll move faster. There is decent variety in terms of dim sum offered and you can order off their full menu as well. There is ample parking as this is located in a plaza with several other restaurants. read more

Golden Seafood Restaurant - Dimsum - Seafood Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

This is one of our fave places to go for weekend brunch. It's over a half an hour drive for me to get here, but it's the only place nearby with cart service unless I drive down to Philly. It's worth the trip. It's good dim sum, and the tiny dim sum appetizer menus at my local Chinese places don't compare. The dim sum menu here is good sized and has a good variety of the usual suspects, but there's also a regular menu with items found in regular restaurants. The dim sum menu on the weekend is expanded to include a couple dozen additional, special dishes not found on the weekdays. On Saturday, and especially on Sundays, you'll want to get there early to avoid the lines, but be careful about coming too early, as many of the special weekend dim sum menu items don't start to roll out on the carts until it gets closer to 11 AM. That said, you can order them from one of the roving wait staff if you don't see them as available. The same thing applies if you arrive after the weekend lunch rush, as the cart service seems to end when lunch is finished, and you need to order off the menu afterwards. Also, I've had them try to talk me into something I don't want, and you know it was just because they had a few left from the cart service, so don't be afraid to be firm with the "No" if they're persistent. Also, if you see a cart with something you like on it, and the cart isn't close by, you can ask the waiters, and they'll go grab a steamer of it for you. Don't be shy about this, as I've seen the carts get hijacked by diners there who haven't even finished sitting down at their table. Dim Sum is a take no prisoners event--enjoy it. read more

Dim sum delight. Always a line to wait. Guess that tells you how good they are. Usually packed on weekends.

Long wait if you are a party of 2. Customer service poor , servers walked by and did not stop with carts . We left hungry !

I love dim sum and coming from a cantonese background, I've tried a lot of dim sum restaurants. I honestly think the food here is authentic, the price is normal (about $4-$5 per dim sum), the service is quick, and the restaurant itself is large and the decor reminds me of the dim sum places in Chinatown. I came around 1pm on a weekend and it was packed, but I was able to be seated in about 15-20 minutes even after requesting not to share a table - pretty impressive to me! My family also enjoyed the food - so this might be my go to spot for dim sum if I'm around Edison! read more

This was my first Dim Sum business lunch with local Chinese realtors, mortgage bankers and title insurance representatives. They wanted another legal perspective on the changing conditions in their industry. It went very well, as the small plates/bowls/steamers were freshly made and delicious, and facilitated our wide ranging conversation. Golden Seafood uses paper menu order forms rather than traditional pushcarts which saves on labor and equipment cost, but reduces the charm from old fashioned hawking dishes table to table. It does make for fewer interruptions. Edison has become a center of Asian culture where all cuisine styles are available. Totally enjoyed my drive there from Bucks County, watching the changing signs from English to Chinese, Hindi and Korean. Hope to be invited to join these interesting business people again soon. read more

Come here for the friendly atmosphere, convenient parking and spaciousness. As for dim sum...it's no way on the level of our favorites in NYC, but it's passable. I've eaten so much dim sum in my life all around the world, I cannot count the number of times I've gone for family occasions, meetups with friends, just picking up for takeout for my family or just randomly getting the dim sum bug and dropping by NYC's Chinatown for a quick pick me up. At this point in my life, I feel dim sum has nothing to hide from me. We've been in bed multiple times now. First and Foremost, being from NYC, it was REALLY, REALLY nice to see that this dim sum restaurant actually has a large parking lot. Most do outside of Metropolitan areas, but having one so close to home was a nice change. Nothing beats being able to stroll in and just get down to business, you know what I mean? We walked into the restaurant at around 11:15am on very nice Saturday morning and, to our surprise, we were seated immediately at a table of 4! Wait, what?! Immediate seating at a dim sum restaurant for exactly our size party? Incredible. This might be common in these parts of NJ, but from where I come from in NYC, this is unheard of. Typically, 11:15am is already late at most dim sum restaurants, but not in these neck of the woods. I will say a wait did begin to develop, but it didn't seem like most parties waited long, though some did have to share tables. We were anticipating quite a wait, so when we were seated, we didn't know what to do with the extra time! Anyhow, it was time to chow down! ALL of our favorites were on full display on those lovable push carts being wheeled around by the elderly ladies. Nothing makes you feel like you're having dim sum quite like the push cart experience. Since it was our first time at this restaurant, we tried to go all out (or as much as our love handles could take!) - we ordered the roast pork rice roll, shrimp rice roll, pork dumpling + shrimp pork dumpling (aka shu mai), shrimp dumpling (har gow), chicken feet, spring rolls, shrimp and chive dumplings, turnip cake, steamed egg custard buns and egg tarts. There was much more offered on the carts, but we were stuffed! Everything looked good, but some lacked the usual delicious flavor. We felt that some of the dishes just didn't hit the spot like they usually do at dim sum restaurants. We were actually quite surprised because, if anything, food is usually over-salted, not under. Some of it was pretty good, some of it was ok and some of it we barely tasted (like the spring rolls). In addition, we also ordered a shredded chicken pan fried noodle to go and when we had it at home it was ALSO lacking flavor. The noodles were very crispy, which was great, but the sauce was bland. Still, we enjoyed our time here. The experience was great, probably greater than we anticipated, because we were seated immediately at a window table and we were able to eat asap. We just wish some of the dishes had a bit more flavor. Would we come here again? Convenience of a parking lot and with the lack of dim sum restaurants in NJ, probably yes. read more

We often frequent Golden Seafood restaurant in Edison as one of our local dimsum restaurants. Today we stopped by for a weekday lunch which offers a variety of staple chinese dishes for around $10 each and comes with choice of soup and a bowl of rice per order. Their lunch menu also offers made-to-order dimsum dishes as they don't normally run carts on the weekdays due to slower traffic. We ordered 3 dishes, a fish, a beef, and sweet and sour porkchops plus one order of eggrolls for $36. Lunch specials are definitely great in value and portions!! Pro tip: eat in and take leftovers home! Portions appear to be slightly more generous when dining in vs take-out read more

This review is for the actual meals, not dim sum. I wanted dim sum, but they only serve it till 3. Sucha bummer!! I wanted dim sum! Anyway, this place definitely reminds me of a typical dim sum place. Big tables, a lot of space, a big screen projecting a movie, a lot of people working, and random karaoke. Lol. Even the decor colors bring me back to canal/mott street in NYC. We were seated fast and given roasted peanuts and tea. The peanuts reminded us of our moms since she makes it all the time. Since my sis and I couldn't get dim sum we ordered Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce, chicken fried rice, beef chow fun (dry), and salt and pepper pork chops. All weren't bad and weren't too memorable either. The chow fun lacked flavor. The rice was very oily. Wish they cut the Chinese broccoli into pieces instead of serving it whole. It was so hard to eat. The pork chops were ok, a bit oily but that's expected with fried foods. If we ever come back here I think we'll come around dim sum hours. Seems like that is a lot better then the meals read more

Came here on a holiday for some brunch/dimsum and we weren't the only ones in the restaurant, but it definitely wasn't busy or super empty. The staff were decent for your typical Chinese place and they had a good amount of carts walking around for dimsum. The decor is fairly typical of a large Chinese restaurant - tablecloths, decently clean, and fish tanks by the entrance. The food was good for dimsum, nice variety and quality led to a meal where I was pretty full by the end. Overall, for dimsum, this spot was pretty decent. If you're craving your typical dishes for a fair price, this spot is for you! I wouldn't mind coming back in the future for a similar experience again. read more

Came here for Dim Sum on a late Saturday morning and it was packed. If you have a small party they ask if you are okay sharing tables because most of their tables accommodate 8 people. They have a good selection of traditional dim sum items. I don't know the Chinese names of the things we ordered but we ordered chicken feet, roast pork bun, turnip cake, steamed pork short ribs, shrimp rice noodle roll and the baked sweet egg yolk buns. Everything was good, although not the best dim sum we've had. The radish cake had a crab flavor that is different from other places. The highlight was the baked sweet egg yolk buns. The filling was luscious and sweet and there was a good amount of it and the crunchy sweet topping added a nice texture to the bun. Overall the place is solid for dim sum if you don't mind waiting a bit. The prices are good and there is a lot of variety to accommodate everyone's tastes. read more

Since the pandemic, our usual Christmas brunch never came back so when I went to the spot for Chinese new year this year, I thought it would be a great location and I was right. Myself and 19 others went this past weekend and we got a small room in the back where we were able to order from the regular menu and have the dim sum carts come to us. Every single thing we got was unbelievably hot, fresh and delicious. The noodles, fried rice, chicken, and shrimp dishes.....YUM!!! The staff was so friendly and attentive. You would think all this would cost an arm and a leg but even with a handsome tip we spent less than $40 each and we were stuffed to the gills. read more

Their food was okay. It's a very busy restaurant. A table for 4, it took about 30 minutes to get seated on Saturday around 11 am. If you want to share a table, it's pretty fast to get seated. Congee had no taste, it was like eating rice in the boild water, not very seasoned. The food selection was less than that of many dim-sum places I had been to. I would go back if I am in the area to meet up with people, but I would not choose this place if I am in the mood for a dim sum for myself. Price was little high and they didn't give me break down of each items so I am not sure tip was already priced in the check, I gave them tip on top of it anyway. After noon, about 20 people were waiting for a table. It's a good thing we went there around 11 am. read more

What a disappointment... set banquet (the most expensive set) menu with 2 additional dishes add-on. Only 3 out of 12 dishes - The shrimp with walnut, fried scallops, and fried rice were good, fried chicken was too salty, cold dish appetizer was ok. The rest Fish soup, stew tofu, steam fish, Avalon, and sea cucumber were tearless, awful, some dishes came cold, no flavors what so ever. Service was mediocre. We spend a lot of money for good food to celebrate mom's special 95th birthday, and this place failed us. I'm so sad , and so mad. Don't go, don't eat there - DO NOT RECOMMEND‼ read more

The star of the show was fried pork chops, we ordered two but was still left wanting more. Service was attentive and helpful. read more

Was in the Edison area with some of my cousins and they had suggested this new dim sum spot. She had heard great things from a friend and of course we were all agreed that we wanted dim sum for brunch. Upon arrival you give the number of guests in your party and they give you a piece of paper with a number. There was a bit of a crowd and where there is good food...there is a wait! They do not call the numbers in order but based on table availability and party size. They also will not seat you unless your whole party is present. The wait was fair for busy peak time and waited about 20 minutes. The restaurant is fairly large space almost like a banquet room with large round tables. And a handful of smaller tables against the window. We were seated at a round table and the carts immediately started coming towards us. The steam carts, the congee cart, the dessert/fried food cart, and my fave the sweet tofu cart. The best thing about dim sum, you can literally get all the small plates that you want within minutes of sitting down. Everything was soo fresh! We also were able to order items that weren't being served and they would bring it directly to our table. We got our usual order of spare rib tips, siomai, pork belly with taro, salt and pepper squid, egg custards, salted egg buns, pan fried noodles, egg plant, noodle rice roll, and sooo much more food! Overall the food was great! The staff is very attentive and always available. There is plenty of parking as it is located in a strip mall.
