This past summer Dao Madison was strongly recommended to me by a friend, so I decided to finally…read morecheck it out. I was told that there are often long waits, so I chose an evening where it was raining with some pretty heavy winds, hoping this would help me and my gf get in quickly. Fortunately, I was right! Dao Madison is located in in the same space that was once Ossino's Market and before that Empire Szechuan. The business is surrounded by a U shaped set of parking spots, but it's tight so go slow and ease into the spots carefully. While the exterior is largely the same as before, it is clear the folks at Dao reworked the interior. It is beautiful with a high ceiling, reserved decor and bright colors. I went during the evening but I can imagine sunlight pouring into the space during the day. We were seated very quickly and there was a huge group at the front waiting for to go orders, so this place definitely has fans! Even on a stormy night almost every table was full. The service was absolutely top notch. Within a minute after being seated we had water, tea and crispy noodles with mustard and duck sauce deployed to the table at rapid speed. I *love* the crispy noodles with duck sauce to this was absolutely delightful. Our waiter was enthusiastic, helpful and full of energy - quite a feat when you're serving table after table. I also have to say, it's incredible how quickly my water was constantly refilled. I never had to ask once. There are a lot of much more expensive restaurants that could learn from these folks! Okay, here's what we had: Chicken Corn Soup One of my favorite soups, but it's hard to find a good version. This was definitely one such example. Smooth, but filled with chicken and egg it was tasty and satisfying. Pro-tip: if you like a bit of a kick, put a bit of the Chinese mustard in and mix it in or alternatively use white pepper (which is on the table). Szechuan Vegetable Dumplings These dumplings are kind of like wontons and served in a beautifully savory and spicy sauce. I would get these again in a heartbeat. Cold Sesame Noodles Almost every take out place around makes cold sesame noodles, but few places make it *well*. Dao knocks this out of the park. Mix it up well and the spicy and savory sauces all come together to form an amazingly delicious dish. Mala Dry Pot (Chicken) This dish is served with a *dramatic* presentation in a small wok in a wood serving tray. This dish has a wonderful mixture of vegetables and meat with a wonderful base sauce. I comes across as a stir fry but I think it may be at least party steamed. This dish was delicious with a big variety of items to enjoy. Also worth nothing, you have a choice between white and *purple* rice at Dao. In general, purple rice is healthier than white rice so it was great to have the option. I am so happy I finally tried Dao Madison and I can't wait for my next visit!

Dao came thru in the clutch for us for a quick good meal when we were in the area…read more The first thing we noticed was the tight parking spaces - narrow little spots. This place is packed! It died down a little bit after 730 but still it gets quite good business. The chips you get when you sit down were a little stale. I don't really eat that stuff anyway. On the bright side, the sweet and sour sauce it came with was very good and the wasabi mustard had a huge kick. The soup dumplings were legit. As good as you will find in Edison. $12.25 for 6. A little bit pricier than Edison but you pay for the fact that you can have it in this area. The filet mignon with spicy pepper sauce was pretty good. Portion size is in the middle. Not too generous nor skimpy. It wasn't spicy. It came with delicious mushrooms and baby bok choy. The black pepper sauce was delicious. Similarly the pepper steak with onions was also mid on portion size and amount of meat they give you. It came with delicious chopped peppers and onions as well. Good flavor. Both of these steak dishes came with a complimentary bowl of rice. The pot of tea was also complimentary. It was pretty good tea. The service was great. Very friendly staff and they changed our plates after the soup dumpling appetizer. Sprite was only $2 and a bottle of san pelligrino $3. Good place with a strong loyal customer base. We will be back!

This is my 2nd time back! I've only ordered take out! But …read more.... Omg You can tell this is freshly made at the store. The dumplings have such a delicious texture and taste. This leveled up my expectations on scallion pancakes omg they were so thin and crispy delicious!!! Definitely great service Im guessing it's the owner she had your order ready to go I work in pompton plains so I'll order right before I leave work and by the time I get to Parsippany the order is ready! I definitely want to go and dine in but I'm always in the Parsippany area after work But take out is a good enough for me. From just walking in the restaurant is so clean and organized. They have a video explaining the process of hand pulled noodles which is cool! I'm a nerd like that I love educational videos. Also you see where the chef is making everything too like a window to see when he makes the hand pulled noodles. Definitely recommend this place ! Ample parking and very easy to get too. If you want a nice comforting bowl of soup with hand pulled fresh noodles this is your place!!! Enjoy!!!! Note I put 2 pictures of my 1st order with them Stir fried noodles and braised beef hand pulled noodles soup yummy

The Chinese burger was deliciously seasoned and made on fresh bread. It tasted just like the ones I had in Xi'an. The dumplings had a nice flavorful pork and cabbage filling as well. The xinjiang spicy chicken was also really flavorful. It had a nice dry heat and the noodles soaked up all the broth and spices really well. The portion sizes were also great which is always a plus, and the staff was very friendly and attentive. I will definitely be returning and trying all the things they have to offer at Shan Shan noodles

The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made for a great first impression! The portions are HUGE for the price, and everything we ordered was delicious.

My favorite was the oyster pancake; they were so generous with the oysters, and it was packed with flavor. Overall, an awesome dining experience with great food, generous portions, and excellent service. I'll definitely be coming back! Hopefully they can open another location with a parking lot!

The highlight of the meal was easily the hot appetizer -- the wontons in chili oil. The delicate…read morewontons were packed with flavorful filling and coated in a rich, aromatic chili oil that delivered the perfect balance of heat, spice, and savory depth. The sauce had just enough numbing warmth without overpowering the dish, and every bite was incredibly satisfying. The texture combination of silky wrappers and bold sauce made it an unforgettable starter. Beyond the appetizer, the restaurant offered a warm atmosphere and attentive service that made the dining experience even better. The presentation was thoughtful, portions were generous, and the flavors tasted authentic and carefully prepared. If you enjoy dishes with a little spice and a lot of flavor, the wontons in chili oil are absolutely worth ordering. I would definitely come back just for them.

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.

Our family moved to Long Island, Suffolk County a few years ago and we truly miss authentic Asian food from Queens neighborhoods such as Bayside, Elmhurst and Flushing.

If you are in the mood for Asian family-style meals, especially Taiwanese cuisine, we highly recommend Eatery 19 in Long Island.

***AUTHENTIC TAIWANESE STYLE CUISINE*** ***FRIENDLY…read moreWELCOMING SERVICE*** I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT You can't deny that New Yorkers love American style Chinese food. Look at any strip mall or shopping center, and it's almost guaranteed you'll find a Chinese take-out. Hell, if I had to guess, I'd say there are more than a thousand of these restaurants located in Nassau/Suffolk alone. Now Taiwanese food shares many similarities with authentic Chinese and American style Chinese. So if you're a fan of either of these, I'm sure you'll love what is being offered at a Taiwanese restaurant. So for me, it's hard to understand why there is only one Taiwanese restaurant offering a full size menu in all of Nassau and Suffolk counties combined. I mean, there's Mama Chan's, a restaurant / bar in Northport, that looks really interesting - but their 3/4 page menu of appetizers and entrees barely scratches an itch. And before Eatery 19 opened around five years ago, one would have to shlep all-the-way to Queens or Brooklyn from Long Island. Oy vey! GOOD GENES A full service authentic Taiwanese restaurant can't just magically materialize. And as it happens, the owners here are related to the family running Nan Bei Ho - one of the many popular Taiwanese restaurants in Bayside. But even with this lineage, Eatery 19 had a bit of a rough start, with a head chef that wasn't the most talented, and early reviews reflected this point. But not long after, a new chef took over the kitchen, and the cuisine has been maximally upgraded since. SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE I can't imagine someone not being able to find something they really enjoy on this fairly comprehensive menu, even if you're a Taiwanese food novice. There's a nice selection of Taiwanese street food appetizers such as popcorn chicken, oyster pancake, Taiwanese sausage, cold dishes, and a not-so-smelly fried stinky tofu. If spicy is your thing, there are great versions of shredded beef or pork with spicy green peppers, spicy diced chicken, shrimp or squid in spicy pepper sauce, and chef's special beef or fish filet in chili oil. And there are some pretty good kung pao dishes if that's your jammy. Interestingly enough, they don't serve fly heads (cang ying tou) here, but they have a fantastic spicy minced pork with dried tofu cubes dish as a consolation prize. On the non spicy front, there are a plethora of items, so I'll just mention some of the ones I've enjoyed. Starting off, I have to call it! Eatery 19 makes my all time favorite version of the famous Taiwanese three cup chicken. It's saucy and savory, with tender boneless chicken & lots of basil. Unquestionably, It's the best I've ever had - and I order this everywhere. In addition, a great seafood option is the perfectly fried & delicious salt and pepper fish filets. And I also need to mention that the chef here makes fantastic fried rice, with tons of wok hei and fresh ingredients - just give the egg and scallion fried rice a try and you'll see. In addition, the fried rice with Taiwanese sausage comes in a close second. Looking for even more tasty carbs? The Taiwanese stir fried rice noodles with their unique flavor is a solid choice. And if you're craving soup noodles, there's a solid braised beef noodle soup available daily. NOT JUST FOR DINNER Eatery 19 is a fantastic resource for grabbing a quick tasty lunch, with a large assortment of over rice dishes. and two Taiwanese railroad bentos with choice of pork chop or chicken leg, being served with braised pork rice, cabbage, pickled vegetables, marinated egg, and Taiwanese sausage. LUCKY TO HAVE THIS Look, Eatery 19 may not be a contender on the list of top Taiwanese restaurants in New York. And it' features a plain looking interior with half-way descent service. But taking all this into account, Long Islanders, are still quite lucky to experience this cuisine close to home. And to be honest, I feel privileged each time I visit this interesting authentic eatery.

The owners were so kind and gave some great suggestions. The red bean ice was cool and refreshing, with QQ boba mixed it. This was such a lively dish with that scoop of caramel-drizzled vanilla ice cream on top. But loving my Taipei street stall options, I ordered the Taiwanese sausage on white rice. The rice was soft and fragrant, pairing nicely with the savory, juicy sausage. It knew there was no way I could finish both, but it was seriously hard to stop. It had slices of pickled daikon softly steamed broccoli. Definitely coming back soon so I can try everything on the menu.
