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.

The food was average, but the service was an absolute horror story. They withheld our credit card…read morefor 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.

THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ Solid and delicious dim sum. All of the dishes we tried were all very good - Shrimp Dumplings, Shrimp Rice Roll, Chicken Feet, Pork and Shrimp Dumplings, Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf, Tripe, Spring Rolls, Mini Egg Tarts, Coconut Jelly Pudding. + Good dim sum variety, although it did feel like they were circling with the same foods over and over again. + Decent size restaurant with a lot of tables. + Big private parking lot. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Baked Roast Pork Buns ran out at around 1:30 PMish on Saturday afternoon and they told us they weren't making anymore when the restaurant was still packed with customers. Go figure. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = They employ the traditional dim sum carts here, no ordering sheets like more modern restaurants. = Arrived at 12:40 PM on a Saturday and waited about 20 minutes to be seated. = Restaurant was STILL fully packed when we left at around 2:15 PM.

Went for Dim Sum on Christmas Day. Luckily we had a reservation since the restaurant was packed and…read morethere were lots of big families waiting. This is authentic Dim Sum. They roll the carts through the restaurant offering lots of dumplings, soups, noodle dishes and more. We loved everything except the Turnip Cake was way too salty. Someone dumped salt or too much soy sauce onto this dish. Also we were offered vegetarian dumplings that had some greens in it, but was mostly pork. Be sure to ask about the ingredients if you don't want pork or meat in a dish. We've been here before and all other dishes were great...Chinese broccoli sautéed, dumplings with shrimp, eggplant with shrimp, sautéed wide noodles with some veggies, soup dumplings, etc. finally tried the mango dessert. It was yummy.

Outstanding and worth the 35 minute wait for a table…read more We visited on a Wednesday at dinner time and waited on a bench outside until our table was ready. Once we were seated, the service was helpful and efficient. The menu is large and varied. Everything that we tried was delicious. The Spare Ribs with Garlic and Eggplant with Minced Pork were particularly good. The room is clean and comfortable.

We walked in on a Thursday night around 8 and it was packed. We were able to get seated right away…read more We were seated in a tight spot and people were slightly squeezing behind me to get by so after we got seated, we moved over the table to the left a little so people could pass more comfortably. The hostess saw this and asked if we moved the table and told us not to do that... After we told her why we moved the table she said no don't do that. Odd... but ok. We got the pork sticky rice shumai, pork in garlic sauce over rice, sautéed string beans and pepper corn chicken. Shumai was ok. The pork in garlic sauce had way too much sauce and was a tad sweet for our liking; it was drowning in sauce. The strings and pepper corn chicken were very good. Both had a slight touch of heat. I wish we ordered differently but overall the food was ok. Our server was very nice and attentive. We're debating coming back to try more of the menu but with so many Asian/Chinese restaurants to try in Edison, I think we'd try someplace else.

I noticed the dough in dumplings and dim sum were thick and may have taken away some of the flavors. At least the fresh taste is consistent in every bite. The price is reasonable. Server were quick to deliver and keep tables cleaned and ready for many customers. The inside is also modern appearing with creative steam basket decor. I would come again for friends, yet I would wish to try for more flavor than dough.

1/15 Stars: A Masterclass in Horrific Service and Complete Management Failure…read more If you enjoy being crammed into a space too small for human comfort, ignored by staff after an accident, and actively walked away from by management, then this is the place for you. For the rest of us? Avoid this absolute trainwreck of a restaurant at all costs. We arrived as a party of 7 and were crammed onto a tiny table. Despite an entire section of the restaurant sitting completely empty, staff flatly refused to move us to a larger table. Predictably, because we were packed like sardines, a glass was knocked over during appetizers. That is when the dining experience shifted from uncomfortable to utterly pathetic. As the drink flooded the table and pooled into a food plate, the servers literally just kept dropping new food into the mess. When we begged for it to be cleaned, a waitress dumped a handful of tissues on the table and walked away. When we asked her to use a tray to clear the wet items, she claimed she "didn't have a tray"--meanwhile, every other server in the room was walking past us carrying trays. Despite multiple pleas, the table was never properly wiped. We had to flag down other servers for napkins and physically move our own dirty dishes to a neighboring empty table ourselves. Thinking it couldn't get worse, we asked for the manager, "Ashley". It turns out the toxic attitude starts at the top. Ashley arrived with zero empathy. When the waitress boldly lied to our faces and denied her comments about the tray, Ashley didn't care. She disappeared for five minutes, returned solely to defend her incompetent staff, and when we asked if she was even willing to listen to our side, she literally walked away from us. To give a restaurant your hard-earned money only to be treated like an inconvenience is infuriating. Ashley and her staff lack the basic fundamentals of hospitality, cleanliness, and human decency. Do yourself a favor and spend your money somewhere that actually values its customers.

This restaurant features a minimalist Shanghai-style design, centered around a striking red and…read moregold color palette. Although the decor is simple, the bold use of red and gold makes it highly memorable--and the space is very clean. Even though the bowls and chopsticks are disposable, there's clear attention to detail. The chopsticks feel great to use, and they are even engraved with "上海小笼," which is a thoughtful touch. The bowls are made of thick, sturdy paper, with a beautiful red base and gold rim--both aesthetically pleasing and environmentally friendly. Ordering is done through a self-service kiosk, but there are still staff members nearby. When it's not busy, they are friendly and happy to assist with any questions. The Noodle in Scallion Sauce （上海葱油拌麵） has a rich scallion oil flavor with perfectly chewy noodles, while the Cold Noodle w. Peanut Butter Sauce （麻將涼拌麵） is packed with a strong peanut flavor and equally chewy texture. Both dishes are delicious and taste very similar to Taiwanese sesame noodles. Every dish is served fresh and hot, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality. Whenever I'm in Edison, I can't help but come back to try more items on the menu.

The food comes out lightning fast. Everything is very reasonably priced. Best of all, it's all delicious. I tried stuff outside of my comfort zone and I loved it all.

The golden lava buns were sweet and rich and perfect for dessert.

After visitation for a beloved family member while in New Jersey state, my party arrived super…read moreearly and waited 1.25 hour for opening on a Saturday. We were second standing outdoors waiting in this big fat long line. Immediately upon opening for the day the line nearly forced entry near stampede and this cafe was immediately packed to full occupancy of patrons with free seating. The Yelp reviews are accurate and truthful. The food is great. This is a small cafe with only approximately eight tables. I do not recommend large parties of five and greater. It is no-frills, but not exactly "hole in the wall" type that lack in aesthetics for upscale lavish atmosphere but the deficiency is resolved in the food quality. There is one sole functioning restroom in the whole business, ergo, stand in line and wait. We entered hungry in a lugubrious sense of deep sorrow, but exited hunger pangs fulfilled. When exiting upon completion of our lunch meal, there was a line that quickly formed outdoors waiting. Unfortunately, access to this cafe in Edison, NJ is by car only and there is a free parking lot that is shared with neighboring businesses located in a small shopping complex. There are no business cards, and no takeout menus available. Customer service is efficient as the staff worked methodically hustling busy to take orders and fulfillment. Our male waiter was attentive to respond to our inquiries and make suggestions based on our desires. I was able to keep the sales receipt. Price is in the rationale realm of stagflation totaling $41.75. Nota Bene: No table hibernation as the table turnover is fast pace with a line overflowing outdoors which cannot interrupt the flow. My foodie synopsis: Pork steam soup dumplings, 6 pcs, siu2 lung4 baau1, 小籠包, $8.75 Very juicy, flavorful and great. It was served piping hot. This is my favorite default dish for every visit at any Shanghainese ethnic cuisine. However, there were no serving tongs provided for this particular appetizer which is industry standard. Preserved cabbage with pork noodle soup, syut3 coi3 juk6 si1 min6, 雪菜肉絲麵 $9.50 This is a satisfying Chinese comfort food. This noodle soup was abundant with noodles, pork and chopped vegetables. It provided warmth to my very broken heart. Shanghai chicken in wine sauce, zeoi3 gai1, 醉雞, $8.95 A traditional Chinese cold appetizer, aka Chinese Drunken chicken made with Chinese Shaoxing cooking wine. It has amazing flavor and texture to be deliciously enticing. Of course, the cooking wine brings flavor to this appetizer making you want more. Shanghai pan fried U-Don noodle, soeng6 hoi2 cou1 caau2 min6, 上海粗炒面, $11.95 Abundant noodles with good consistency and it not heavily filled with grease and oil.
