Crab Rangoon (another name- Cheese Wontons;  sweet and sour sauce came on the side)
Nancy W.

I have been reluctant to eat at a Chinese takeout store. I grew up in one where my parents owned their Chinese takeout business for 25 years on Long Island, New York before they sold the business. Since then, no other place compares to it and I wasn't ready to try anywhere else. Since I moved here to New Jersey two years ago, my husband craves just good Chinese takeout food and I decided maybe it was time to try. We have tried a few places, but Meiwei East has stood out to be a great Chinese takeout. I have been here a few times and each time, the service has been good. Before Covid happened, the establishment has plenty of room for customers to sit and eat. Since Covid has been taking into caution, the business is doing good to stay safe too, customers can pick up their food contactless. My usual go to is Chicken with Broccoli. They make it good every time. I have also tried their Chicken Chow Fun, Shrimp Lo Mein, and Moo Shu Chicken. My recent favorite has been their General Tso's Shrimp from the Chef's Specialities. The order can be good as leftovers the next day too. Last week, our order was picked up and they forgot to put in the Cheese Wontons. After I spoke to the individual on the phone, he was apologetic and I told him next time we come I'll remind him. Earlier tonight when we ordered our food and came to pick up, he remembered me and told us how sorry he was and added the order of Cheese Wontons in the bag already. Now I have tried it too, and it tastes crisp and delicious too. I was glad he remembered and I didn't think to remind him until another time. Friendly staff, clean, and food is always prepared fresh and good. I missed having Chinese take out food, and I'm glad we can go back to Meiwei East and gives me some nostalgia. Best Chinese food in Clifton if you come by and want to try it out. Always a pleasure to come and support their business.

THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ The food and, more specifically, seafood was AMAZINGLY fresh and delicious!!! ++++ Grilled Octopus appetizer with lemon garlic butter was to die for. Octopus was soooooooo tender and the restaurant's signature lemon garlic butter was a perfect compliment to it. ++++ Surf and Turf was, once again, PERFFFFFECT. Order came with a (hugeeee) 12 oz. ribeye and 10 oz. lobster tail. Both were as good as it gets anywhere. ++++ Branzino with rice and fries was excellent! The branzino was extremely bony, as you would expect, but the fish meat was sooooooo good. Rice was very flavorful and the fries were some of the crispiest I've EVER had. ++++ Mint Lemonade was absolutely refreshing. One of the best refresher drinks we've ever had anywhere. + Spacious and bright interior. Bright blue and white walls and floors make you feel like you're actually in the Mediterranean. + Parking lot is right outside of the restaurant and there are 8 spots in total, but it's on a steep slope that leads up to the restaurant entrance. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - The waiter was very, verrrry nice, but, for some odd reason, the side of rice for the Branzino came out 30 minutes after the Branzino arrived on the table!!!! This is not an exaggeration. The waiter kept promising it was coming out soon, but it just took longer and longer and longer to arrive till I was already done with my entree. - The restaurant automatically added a service charge of 15% for just the 2 of us. Typically, you see this for large parties, NOT for parties of 2. With that said, we were a bit surprised it was only 15% though considering 18% seems like the minimum these days. MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Dined here on an early Monday afternoon from 12:15 - 1:45 and only when we were leaving did another party finnnnaaaalllly come in. We had the whole restaurant to ourselves until then. CONCLUSION -------------------- = Bottom line, the food is spectacular here. I don't use that word lightly. Our meal here was as good as we've had in a longgg time.

- Parking lot is conveniently located right out front, though it sits on an odd slope--head uphill…read moreto find the entrance - Spacious restaurant with beachy, seaside vibes, burning incense and Egyptian pop music in the background almost transports you to some place else - Refrigerated display case highlights an impressive selection of fresh seafood - Very quiet on a Monday at lunch--we were the only diners the entire time - Our waiter was very friendly, though service was a bit uneven--entrées arrived separately, and the side of rice didn't come until we were nearly finished - Still the food was AMAZING: Grilled Octopus is a must-order--tender, plump, and served in a sauce so good you'll want to dip your bread to soak up every last drop; Branzino was incredibly fresh and cooked to perfection; Surf and Turf featured enormous portions of both land and sea, all seasoned very well; Mint Lemonade, served slushie-style, was perfectly balanced between sweet and tart and incredibly refreshing - Automatic 15% gratuity and 3% fee if charging your credit card--gotta remember to bring cash next time! - Fun detail: the restroom (at least the ladies') is equipped with a bidet

A friend of ours suddenly said, "I want seafood boil," and just like that--we landed here…read more Parking can be a bit tricky, especially on a Saturday night. The place was packed, and we were with a baby, but luckily got a table pretty quickly. The menu has great combo options where you can mix crab, shrimp, lobster, and more--all in one. TBH, that's the way to go instead of ordering everything separately. We ordered two Combo F along with shrimp fried rice and Cajun chicken fried rice. Combo F comes with Snow crab legs (1/2 lb), lobster tail, shrimp (1/2 lb), Potatoes (2 pc), Corn (1/2) Now comes the fun part... The seafood arrives in a plastic bag with your choice of sauce (Cajun, Garlic Butter, lemon pepper, Old Bay, Island style). They shake it all up, and then it's on you to dive in. You're given gloves, crackers, and tools to break open crab legs and lobster shells. Basically It's messy--but its beautiful mess ..lol I started off all proper with gloves and tools, but after some point, I ditched the gloves because it was just easier to enjoy the food that way. The Cajun sauce was absolutely delicious--rich, spicy, and full of flavor. I even ordered plain rice just to mix it with the leftover gravy... and wow, that was a amazing. Highly recommend trying that! Everything is essentially boiled seafood tossed in sauce, so don't expect anything grilled or crispy--it's all about the flavors and experience. The fried rice was tasty too, though the rice itself was a bit on the harder side. This isn't just a meal--it's an experience. Perfect for going out with friends, getting messy, and enjoying good seafood together.

That said, the vibe leans loud and a bit chaotic (mall energy is real here). The staff are clearly well trained and hustling, but they're stretched thin, so expect a few small misses in service. Nothing major, just not seamless. Overall, you're paying a premium, but the kitchen earns it. Just don't come expecting a quiet, polished dining experience.

We came here for a private birthday party and got a room in the back for just our party. Once we were sat the server took drink orders without having to wait for everyone to be there, they gave us complimentary bread as we waiting for everyone to come in and settle down. Then we got our appetizers, the shellfish tower, the meat, the shrimps, the crab cakes. Then we had salads and soups and got the lobster bisque, the Caesar salad, the wedge chopped with bacon, and all of it was so amazing, I was stuffed by this point but we were just getting started. The filet mignon was by far the best steak made there, but the Ny strip was also really good. The Mac and cheese was the best side ever, but the rice was also good and so was the asparagus. For dessert the bananas foster was the absolute best but the other desserts (chocolate lava cake and creme brulee were also amazing) All in all this was the best night with the best friends and the best food, the drinks were also always good and the servers kept them coming. It was a bit pricey but it was worth every penny.

I had never had steamed skate anywhere before so my acquaintance told me that I wouldn't like it because it's "pungent" but I'm so glad I got to try it because I LOVED IT. So savory, flavorful, and packed with umami. Another good thing is their extensive menu. I can't wait to come back to try the rest of their dishes. The interior decor is very nice as well. The high ceilings and black color theme give it an elevated feel. And the staff is very nice and accommodating CONS: their air conditioning was broken when we went in the middle of summer (which I'm sure they'll eventually fix). I didn't mind because I love the heat but my acquaintance was sweating uncomfortably. Also, the food was good and some dishes were great but I wouldn't say it's the "best I ever had." The grilled beltfish was very plain (and bland) until I squeezed lemon juice all over it. It's the type of place that has endless comfort food and is your regular go-to spot (or go to order in) when you feel too lazy or tired to cook (or hungover) rather than a special occasion spot This place is decent and reliable. And everyone needs one of those in their back pocket to lean on.

If you get her as your server, it's a start to a pleasant and great meal. Angelina knows what she's talking about! One feedback would be to learn how to better time the serving of the foods. We got our soup and shrimp cocktail as starters but literally 3 minutes later, our entrees were served to the table. Our entrees got cold while we tried to finish our starters. Please look to have the servers better time the serving of entrees AFTER the starters are finished. I had the New England Clam Chowder and the Prime rib. The clam chowder was tasty but lacked clams. They added andouille sausage to the chowder to give it a nice tasty twist but this should not have taken away from the amount of clams expected in a clam chowder. Prime rib was a good thick cut. But served warm and almost at room temperature. Not exactly how I would like my prime rib. Shoe string fries were tasty. My boyfriend ordered the Clam Chowder and Shrimp Cocktail as starters, followed by Cajun Sea Pasta and a bunch of side dishes - southern Coke slaw, black beans and rice and the loaded baked potato. Shrimps in the shrimp cocktail was good sized shrimp topped with old bay seasoning. The pasta was seasoned just right, very tasty and delicious. Cole slaw was crunchy which meant the Cole slaw was freshly made and not sitting in the sauce for too long. Loaded baked potato was of good size and baked to the right softness. Black beans and rice was the only side dish that was a bit too salty but went great when mixed with the baked potato. Overall, we were impressed with Angelina's services, friendliness of the staff and quality of the foods.

I really wanted to give 4 or 5 stars, I think it has great potential to reach that. The home made…read moresalad dressings are phenomenal. the "Nonnas lasagna" was extremely burnt, so hard we could not cut it, it also lacked authentic flavor. The chicken tacos with rice and beans on the side were phenomenal! The Cesar salad was good but we did get served some browned romaine which i noticed half way through and couldn't finish eating it. I had the salmon and it has a fishy taste, it was also very small looked like 4-5oz. Although I asked for it well done, I did not expect it to be BURNT it was literally black like charred on the whole bottom and top. The wild rice/orzo chilled salad really lacked flavor and was quite the conundrum, I think this side should be improved or changed out completely. The roasted chicken with mashed potato's was excellent. Our server was very absent minded, although she circled and passed by she NEVER once stopped and checked in after serving the food to ask "how is everything?" so we didn't even get a chance to tell her about the burnt lasagna but fortunately the food runner and a different server did pass by us and checked on us ecause they saw us with our necks out looking for our server who had actually passed by us but didn't even look at us...I found it strange that for such a fine establishment the server had not been drained to check on the table 2-5 minutes after each course is served. We had a 3 course meal. A salad to start, followed by the chicken tacos and Nonna lasagna as a second appetizer, then our main dishes. Not once did she check on us after the food was served. I will return in a few months to see if there has been any improvement. The manager did take the lasagna off the bill after the busser brought the plate back. However the waitress never came or made any comments about it. She truly lacked hospitality, personality, and attention To details. I don't remember her name i don't think she Even provided it... the dessert menu also could be better being that there are other restaurants in the area with better dessert options. I think this place needs something good that makes it unique... maybe a story to tell by the server for first times guest or any suggestions etc.
