    The hood Chinese restaurants, which includes this one, make the best food and the prices are very reasonable. It's clean too.

    We were looking for a quick dinner before watching a show at the NJPAC and the chef/owner…read moregraciously acquired us a table - by chance! Chef Kai was super welcoming and engaged in convo with us, including with our 8yo daughter - he set the tone for a cozy dining experience that felt like we had entered his home. Everything was fresh, quality, and obviously made with TLC. The dipping sauces were each characteristically delish and I loved that they gave all of them at once so we could try them all. Best ground chicken burger I've had - juicy and worked well with the brioche bun. The oxtail burger was super flavorful and tender. Next time I need to try the shrimp burger. I went with the side of sweet potato tots and oxtail gravy, and it was the best tots I've had especially in the gravy - again, quality and fresh. The pink lemonade was perfection - fresh lemons, real sugar, and not overly sweet at all and check out the container it comes in! Plus lollipops with the check - such a cute added touch. The location is in a park, walking distance from the NJ Pac and train stop. If we had more time (and could take a to go bag with us) we would've absolutely ordered wings and tried another burger - so that'll be for next time! Love having this kind of dining experience in NJ and supporting a community gem like Chef Kai!

    I really wanted to support this restaurant, but unfortunately our experience left us feeling…read moreuncomfortable. When we arrived, the owner/chef told us the wait would be about 10-15 minutes. Shortly after, another couple came in and were told about 20 minutes. We were the only two parties waiting. When a table opened, the waitress began seating us, and the chef stopped her and asked the other (AA) couple if they were there first. He then told the gentleman, "I see you with family, and I'm not trying to start any problems." This was said while we were literally being seated, and nothing was said to us. It put us in an awkward and embarrassing position, as we would never intentionally skip ahead of anyone. As a Hispanic couple, the interaction also left us wondering if we were being treated differently, even if that wasn't the intention. Then the drink order added to the frustration. I ordered a hibiscus lemonade and my boyfriend ordered a regular lemonade. The waitress repeated it back incorrectly as strawberry, and I corrected her. About 10 minutes later she brought a strawberry lemonade anyway. When I said that wasn't what I ordered, the chef took the drink and handed it to the other couple who had just ordered a strawberry lemonade , saying it was freshly made and "they didn't want it." That was uncomfortable because I never ordered strawberry to begin with. Overall, the interaction felt dismissive and awkward. Mistakes happen, but the way this was handled -- especially the comments made -- left us feeling unwelcome. I hope this feedback helps improve communication and customer experience moving forward.

I tried that option so I could get a good taste of all their dishes! For drinks, I tried the strawberry mojito and the lychee-ade which were both nice fruity drinks to pair with my meal! For appetizers, I got some dumplings, fries, Mac and cheese and of course, some wings and drumsticks! Their chicken is so good - crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside! The flavor options are more of a sticky sauces and no dry rubs just fyi but the sauce isn't overwhelming! Then the seafood boil came out and I was in shock for only two people, this dish was loaded! I had to remove all the pasta onto two dishes reveal the seafood! The crab was probably the best because it had a good amount of meat! Loved that I could have all these options for this unique AYCE experience! But if you're not too hungry, feel free to order from the regular menu or just grab a drink from the bar!! The vibes is more relaxed and bar like - so grabbing chicken and beer could work too! And also, I saw past reviews about service - I think in general, service is a bit slow because there were only two waiters when I went but they always came to check on me even though I was seated in a back corner! I would just recommend for AYCE to order at one go so you don't have to wait as long!

    This place hit the spot. Service was fast, lots of room around even after the G-Dragon concert. If…read moreyou're trying to get food after a concert, and it ends around 1030, run your ass here because they stop orders at 11. The sweet and spicy wings were delicious. The wings were crispy, fresh, not overly fried, and great. My two servers made sure we had what we needed to take back to our hotel. When im.back in the area I'll deff stop by here.

    Krug's is GREAT!…read more The burgers are huge, juicy, and packed with flavor. Honestly, they're just phenomenal. The melted cheese, fresh lettuce, tomato, and onion on a perfectly toasted bun? So good. And they serve complimentary pickles and hot peppers on the side, which really sets it off. You literally don't even need fries with this burger -- it's more than enough. I ordered a whole one and could only eat half. My friend and I even said we should've just shared one! We started with the garlic fried shrimp scampi. The flavor was definitely there, though the shrimp were just a tad tough. I ordered a lemon berry Arnold Palmer, which didn't really impress me -- but I wasn't there for the drinks. I came for the burger, and I was more than satisfied. The prices were fair, and you get a small discount if you pay cash. They have their own parking lot behind the building (not the supermarket one), which is a big plus because parking in that area can be rough. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and I loved how everyone helped each other instead of just one assigned server handling everything. TVs all around, music playing, people laughing and enjoying is what you'll find here! It's kid friendly so bring the fam with ya! I will definitely be back. If you're a burger lover, I highly recommend this spot!

The burger is huge and juicy!! The fries and onion ring mixed basket is the way to go. They cook everything in a small space behind the bar. Definitely a place to try!!!!
