    $10.50 General Tsos Chicken Dinner Combo. Looks ok but it lacked seasoning, believe it or not lol
    Liz P.

    Out of desperation, I called in a General Tso's Combination with Pork Fried Rice for $10.50 and I never tasted such a flavorless Chinese food before in my life. I don't know what it was, lack of soy sauce/salt?? It just tasted very bland to me. The General Tso's felt like it needed more heat and more soy sauce. The fried rice might as well be white because that's what it tastes like. I should've asked for 20 soy sauce packets because that's what was missing! This is why I pay them to feed me absurd amount of sodium, I shouldn't have to do it myself! Lol

    My boyfriend and I were looking to try a new Chinese spot and deviate from you usual. I decided to go out on a whim and try this place despite the horrible reviews. It was really hard for me to decided whether 3 or 4 stars was appropriate. I'm giving them 3 stars because while some of the food was good, it seemed to be a hit or miss with some of the items. In addition to that, one of their menu items was priced incorrectly resulting in a hire spending amount but I'll get into that later. We ordered: Half Chicken with House Special Fried Rice (Tasted A-M-A-Z-I-N-G) Half Chicken (Again....flavorful) Crispy Chicken 7 Flavor (Tasted Great!) Thai Pad Thai (Horrible - They didn't even use Pad Thai Noodles and was on the dry side) Fried Squid in Chile Sauce (Meh - Fishy taste and not as spicy and flavorful as I had hoped, I guess the fishy taste overpowered the flavor. ~~TIP: DEFINITELY DO NOT ORDER THIS IF YOU'RE EXPECTING A FRIED CALAMARI TYPE DISH!!~~) With this purchase, we received a free 2-liter soda (mwnu does not indicate what coupons they offer). They are a bit more pricey than what I'm normally used too but if you stick with the usual stuff and nothing usual chinese spots DON'T have (i.e. Fried Squid, Thai Pad Thai) this place will definitely satisfy your taste buds! Just be aware, some items on the menu may be priced differently that what it says. i ran into this issue with the Squid. The menu said $8.25 but when I double checked with them, they said it was $10.75. When I told them what the menu said, they didn't offer to change it all they could say was "No, it's $10.75, the menu is wrong." So just keep that in mind. Also, there is only street parking so it could be hard to pick up an order. The service was slightly below average but that's usually how it is with most chinese spots. Other than the minor menu issue I had, overall, I would definitely come back here for the basics, not the Gourmet food suggested in their name.

    This is supposed to be beef fried rice???

    There were two reviews that gave this place one star. I now know why. Let's just say the best tasting item from what I ordered was the plain white rice that came with the chicken and string beans. If you're looking for food with no taste, then for sure this is the place to go. Will not be ordering from here in the future and stick to Neptune Cafe.

    Shrimp and broccoli.. So yummy

Staff was good, they can speak in English and Mandarin. The inside was very quiet. I was surprised no one was dining inside considering the quality of the food was decent.

    We've lived up the block from this place for 3 years and finally sat down to dine in. It was empty…read moreand the girl serving us was the only one there and didn't really provide us with customer service. We had to wait 15 minutes just for our sodas. The dishes are very unique in cultural sourcing - it's not what you expect of a regular Chinese restaurant. The servings are HUGE and good for 2 servings. The ambiance is not that great even though there's a big space and there was a lot of junk sitting around the place like extra stock of drinks and boxes all over the place. I don't think people really eat-in here. When I did takeout, it was still not worth the price of other similar restaurants in the area. Also this place doesn't have combinations sold together -- you have to buy rice on the side for EVERY dish which is not a traditional way to serve each dish in general. The prices here are not worth trying it - way overpriced and overcharged! Should be more affordable since we do not get the rice with the combination plates.

    Jersey City is getting more and more Chinese spots, and 62 Secret Kitchen is one of the highest…read morerated ones right now. They focus on sichuan and shanghainese dishes, but what really caught my attention was the FREE hanfu experience! It was pretty busy even on a rainy Monday, which says a lot about how popular it is in the neighborhood. It's located near Exchange Place/Grove St PATH! *Noodle w. Shredded Beef & Chili Pepper 小椒牛肉絲拌麵 $16 ** Their dry mix noodles totally exceeded my expectations! So saucy, perfectly bouncy noodles, and they didn't skimp on the bell peppers or beef at all. *Fried Bean Gluten 蘇式烤麩 $13 * My all-time favorite appetizer! The presentation was a little fancier than other spots, and the portion size matched the price as there were plenty of pieces of bean gluten. *Braised Abalone with pork Belly and Quail Egg 鮑魚元寶紅燒肉 $38 A "lucky dish" as abalone shaped like little gold ingots. The abalone was really tender, though I was hoping the pork belly would be melt-in-your-mouth. It came in a hot stone pot to keep it warm. The thick hongxiao sauce made me want a bowl of rice to soak it all up! *Tea-Infused Chicken with Mint 香茶薄荷葉香酥雞 $25 I could hardly taste the tea flavor in chicken, but the crispy mint really stole the show! The chicken stayed juicy and tender, and thankfully it wasn't too "yeet hay" after all lol. *Osmanthus Milk & Fermented Rice 桂花冰酥酪 $10 ** They've got many traditional, nourishing desserts, like pear soup, black sesame paste, and brown sugar fried sticky rice, but we went for floral and refreshing. The osmanthus and sweet fermented rice really popped in the milk pudding! Definitely save room for dessert.

    Solid winter comfort food…read more We ordered the seasonal lamb stew and it really hit the spot on a cold day. The lamb was very tender and the broth was rich without being too heavy. Slightly spicy but adjustable. Definitely a rice killer. The shrimp with chives had a generous amount of shrimp and tasted fresh, just needed rice to balance the saltiness. Pear soup was light and nice, not overly sweet. Service was friendly and they even mentioned you can wear hanfu in-store for photos. Overall a cozy place for winter dishes.

    Flavorful food, excellent customer service…read more My husband and I went here for dinner on Thanksgiving. Around 6:30 pm it was quite busy. The wait for a table took about 10 min. We were seated at the very front where there was quite the draft when someone opened the door. They would probably benefit from a winter vestibule. Although the place was full and they received a lot of pick-up orders, the service was still attentive and fairly prompt. We ordered the Truffle Fried Rice, String Beans, and Mapo Tofu, all to be made vegetarian. The food took about 20-30 min to arrive. All of the dishes were flavorful, delicious, and pretty big portions for reasonable prices. The dishes are all a bit too oily for my taste but you can ask to adjust amount of oil. Towards the end, I tasted meat and double-checked with the waiter, and it turned out he didn't realize that we wanted Truffle Fried Rice to be vegetarian as well. Both he and the restaurant manager apologized multiple times. The manager comped our meal and also offered a gift card for the misunderstanding. Will definitely come back for the flavorful food and excellent customer service.

    We got a sesame noodle dish, spicy beef, truffle fried rice and pork belly appetizer…read more The noodles were good and our waiter mixed it for us so we wouldn't get the sauce over ourselves. The truffle fried rice was nice but didn't have the "wok hay" fried crunchy bits I look forward to, the rice was rather soft and I wish it had more truffle flavor. The spicy beef came out in a giant pot of peppercorns and the broth was spicy and flavorful and the beef was velvety soft. The pork belly was light and not fatty as a cold dish. Overall a good experience. I've seen tables getting oranges at the end of their meal as a sweet treat but both times I've gone, my group has never gotten oranges :(

    A Decade of Love on a Plate: A Local Favorite That Punches Above Its Weight…read more This place is the definition of a neighborhood gem--the kind you almost want to keep secret, yet can't stop yourself from praising. Cheap and cheerful on the surface, it punches way above its weight class, delivering inventive, clean, Asian-inspired food that's masterfully cooked by clearly skilled hands--and made with real love. I've been coming back year after year for most of this restaurant's 10-year lifespan, and that consistency is no accident. Every dish tastes intentional, thoughtful, and deeply satisfying, with a clear goal: to feed people love on a plate. It's a super veggie/vegan friendly that easily wins over even my "meat and potatoes" husband--who happily cleans his plate every time. In an era where genuine hospitality feels increasingly rare, Perry single-handedly restored my faith that quality service is not extinct. Warm, attentive, and authentically kind, Perry makes every guest feel seen, welcome, and cared for--without pretense or attitude. This is food that nourishes, service that uplifts, and a place that keeps you coming back not just for the flavors, but for how it makes you feel. A true neighborhood treasure.

    Mediocre food and very slow service!…read more This place was a disappointment for what I hoped from a highly rated ramen place in the area. The service was quite slow, almost waited 1 hour for entrees to be brought to the table. It's a small place with limited staff working everything. The food was fairly basic. The fried rice seemed to be bland and below par despite ordering the spicy version. My friend who ordered the ramen liked the soup but the meat was not fully cooked and felt chewy.

The portion was generous and very filling no need for extra noodles. We also tried the pan fried noodles with chicken and lamb. Both were well cooked and flavorful, but the lamb really stood out for being tender and well seasoned. Overall, the food was satisfying, the setup was convenient, and the atmosphere made the experience even better. Definitely a solid spot to check out if you're in the area and craving something comforting and flavorful.
