Lunch special menu
Mimie H.

Happy China has been around for yeaaaarss. Their establishment used to be where Eckerd was on W. Seventh St. which is now of course a Walgreens. I was sad that the original owners sold it to somebody else maybe 5 yrs or so ago because the food tasted so bad and was so bland! So I stopped going there. But recently, I wanted to give them another shot to see if their food has gotten any better. I'm so glad I did! The food tastes exactly how I remembered it back in the late 90's and early '00. So far I've tried the chicken with broccoli lunch special with pork fried rice and an egg roll. It was very good and tasty. I've also tried the boneless spare ribs with pork fried rice and egg drop soup, both were sooo delicious :-P Also, both times I've gone, the workers there have been very courteous and very friendly. I will definitely be back! Maybe I'll try the chicken wings next time ;-) Next time, I won't forget to take pics lol.

I do like to come here with my family for dinner sometimes and order a few dishes to share, but…read morelunchtime is my favorite, since this restaurant serves dim sum during that specific time. The quality of the food is fine. The people working here are also friendly and quick. Sometimes when they get pretty busy with lots of other customers though, it's better to just ask them yourself about what you want (like water refills or other requests), rather than waiting for them to come straight to you. This restaurant also is pretty big. It has lots of seating inside.

We were at a lacrosse tournament in nearby Pingry school and did a yelp search for dim sum near me…read more Came across a restaurant that we first went to and was super crowded so looked also nearby and found this one and called and asked if they were a table for four and they said yes!. So we went across the highway 22 and the host however tried giving us a small booth and my mother Preferred sitting at a table, so not to be confined and feel claustrophobic. This was just about 12:30 PM on Sunday and there seem to be ample tables available, which worked for us! So they put us in a corner table however it felt more like being in Siberia because all the dim sum carts didn't quite reach or would notice us and we'd have to get up and walk over and guide them over to us or take a peek and say which dishes we preferred to have delivered over to our table. The staff were friendly if not. I'm not sure we would've stayed longer as the food was OK. I'd have to say these are some of the largest dumplings we've had in a restaurant like the shrimp har gow and shiu mai but the sizes of pieces could've been sliced more carefully and easier bite-size pieces such as the tripe and even the steamed black bean spare ribs. The fried tofu with the shrimp on top we believe was too much coating, and the filling itself was not light and fluffy. It was harder than you'd expect. The beef chow funk was on the oilier side, but the beef was very tender so at least my parents were happy to enjoy that, and as we asked for it to be in the dry style, this one was as I said, wet, and a little bit oily. The turnip cakes were looser and soft with a few of the turnip pieces present.. We prefer it to be crisper and have a little bit more structure. Our daughter's favorite are having the egg custard tarts, and she remarked that they tasted more like sweet egg than fully smooth custard unfortunately. They also charge for tea just as an FYI. We enjoyed being together and especially after a long morning of a tournament and ate really quickly. But not sure we would come back since we're hardly out this way. If you have kids, I think they'd enjoy seeing the Koi Pond out front. THere is a bar as well so maybe they have a good evening crowd..

The restaurant is very spacious and perfect for large groups and families. There's peanuts, fried broad beans, and sunflower seeds at the table for you to eat while waiting for the food. The Artic clams have a pepper sauce that is super addicting and comes with cucumbers underneath that add a refreshing crunch. We tried the buffalo fish in a spicy garlic base. The buffalo fish does have many small bones which they warn about, but the flesh is very more meaty than most fishes and I don't mind the bones. The spicy garlic base comes with tons of garlic and is the perfect amount of spice. We added the mung bean noodles, lotus root and enoki mushrooms. The portion for the add-ons are very generous!

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.

All Blue…read moreChinese Cuisine in Edison serves up authentic Sichuan and Jianghu-style dishes that instantly transported me back home! We ordered the Pickled Pepper Frog with Chicken, Stir Fry Chicken Giblets and Throat and Stew Tofu with Crab Roe. The overall vibe? Pure happiness. The Food Breakdown: Pickled Pepper Frog with Chicken An absolute genius pairing! The bullfrog and chicken are incredibly tender with zero gamey taste. Creatively, it's a 10/10. My only tiny critique is that it leans a bit salty, but it's perfect when paired with white rice. The more you eat, the more addictive it gets! Stew Tofu with Crab Roe You have to get a scoop of this. The golden crab roe sauce perfectly coats the silken tofu. It's savory, sweet, and velvety, which beautifully cuts through the heat of the other spicy dishes. I could honestly down three bowls of rice just mixing it with this sauce. Plus, the portion size is huge and super affordable.

Decent Sichuan place by NJ standards. Ordered 3 dishes for takeout…read more Didnt like the cumin lamb which is usually one of my favorites. Won't order that again.
