Canton Palace offers authentic dim sum like the kind you'd find in Flushing, but right here in…read moredowntown Somerville, NJ! I went on a weekday for lunch. Both the dim sum menu and a lunch menu with standard Chinese restaurant fare were available. My party got the general tso's chicken from the lunch menu, and it was exceptional. Good-quality white meat with just enough spice. Heads up, though, the lunch dishes don't come with rice, so order that separately. From the dim sum menu, we ordered braised tripe with ginger & scallion, fried shrimp rolls, shrimp dumplings, steamed chicken buns, and crab meat soup dumplings. The braised tripe was a standout. It was cooked in a light yet flavorful sauce of ginger and scallion with the tripe's own broth. The delicateness of the sauce worked perfectly with the tripe. The dumplings were all great, especially the soup dumplings. The steamed chicken bun was the only thing I'd skip. It was on the heavier side, and the filling was just okay. The bill came out to about what I expected for the amount of food we ordered--$65 before tip. The service was friendly, and taking our order and getting the food was quick. After the food arrived, though, it was a little difficult to flag down a server to order more and later to get the check. Still, it was understandable given how busy they were, constantly collecting orders and putting out food. Overall, Canton Palace is a great find for anyone looking for this style of Chinese food outside of the usual New York neighborhoods.

As someone who cooks I was extremely disappointed. I should have sent back but they didn't seem to have any interest in our experience & there was a language barrier. Gets a star because hot and sour soup was fine and was heated appropriately and the sesame chicken with broccoli was good. Also can't give zero stars here...... wish I could. They charge $4 for rice and then grudgingly package it with leftovers. Entire restaurant had open tables but they stuck us against the servers alley that leads to kitchen. We had the staff behind us at a large table chattering away loudly while we tried to eat and talk. It was a mess. My husband paid the server in cash. They attempted to keep our change. I had to repeat myself multiple times asking for our change to come back. It almost seemed deliberate. So unprofessional. And yet my kind husband tipped the waitstaff generously; he's far kinder than I would have been. Not a class act restaurant. Will NEVER go back. REGRET that we chose this restaurant on our day out. =(

Better than a lot of places in Flushing & Chinatown and even the San Gabriel Valley in CA! Highly recommend the Salt & Pepper Grouper. It's deep fried and has the same seasoning as the popular Fried Squid with Salt & Pepper, but better! The fish is much more tender than squid. The batter is crispy and not oily at all. Also delicious was the Shrimp with Black Bean Sauce. Not on the menu. Will definitely be coming back in the future to try their other dishes and dim sum as well.

I used to frequent this restaurant before moving to PA. It used to be known simply as "West Lake."…read moreI am not sure when or why "Plum House" was added to the signage. For me, this is the go-to restaurant for Cantonese cuisine due to its variety, authenticity, and menu choices. Aside from weekend dim sum, my go-to dish was the chicken pan-fried noodles. I met up with my old colleagues a few weeks ago when I was in the area. I was glad to be able to visit this restaurant again; our original choice was closed on Tuesdays, like many others. Braised Eggplant & Chicken with Salted Fish ($25): A uniquely authentic Hong Kong dish that I rarely get to try. Delicious. I would definitely order it again. Lufa & Fresh Tofu Skin in Chicken Sauce ($22): The tofu skin was a bit tough to chew, but this is another dish that is not commonly available in standard Chinese restaurants. Beef with String Bean ($21): On point. Dry Beef Chow Fun ($20): This is a common dish found in most Chinese restaurants. It was a bit lacking in flavor, but the texture of the chow fun was perfectly rendered. Pork Chop with Salt & Pepper ($19) Another classic fare. Crispy and tasty, with jalapeños to boot. Unlimited complimentary tea was served, and the staff was attentive and friendly. Decors and ambiance were good for any occasion. It was an excellent evening spent at West Lake Plum House.

THE FOOD ----------------…read more+ Very good dim sum all around. ++++ Shrimp dumplings, pork dumplings, chicken feet, pork ribs, sticky rice, mini egg custard tarts, baked roast pork buns, spring rolls, shrimp rice rolls, shrimp and chive dumplings were all excellent. + Variety of dim sum available was comparable to what I would find at most authentic dim sum restaurants anywhere in NYC. + Non-dim sum/Regular menu consist of typical Cantonese-style food/entrees that you will find at authentic Chinese restaurants - seafood entrees, noodles, fried rice, casseroles, etc. THE SERVICE ------------------- + Dim sum push carts go around with dim sum here, which is my preferred way of having dim sum at restaurants. Ask for or point to what you want and the push cart ladies will mark your dim sum card. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + 2 connected dining rooms inside with about the same amount of seating in both. Not a huge restaurant, but ample seating though. + Private parking lot in the front and back of the restaurant. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Came by on Labor Day around 12:15 PM and it was expectedly busy inside, however, we were seated immediately. There was constant turnover inside, so there were never any parties waiting, but most tables were occupied.

I also tried pork buns for the first time. It was not really my favorite, but it was still flavorful. My friend had the steamed sea bass, which was cooked perfectly and came with a really nice, tasty sauce. Service was excellent. Our waitress was very sweet, patient, and attentive, offering recommendations and explaining the menu without being overbearing. They start you off with Chinese tea and a small plate of peanuts, which is a nice touch--but if you have a peanut allergy, make sure to let them know right away since it's placed on the table automatically. The meal ends with fresh cantaloupe, which was ice cold, sweet, and a refreshing finish. The restaurant itself is a nice size with reasonable prices. We went on a Saturday night and there was no wait. It could use a bit of sprucing up, but it was clean and comfortable. Parking is easy, and the restaurant sits right on Route 46, so it's not hard to find at all. They accept all major credit cards and cash.

BK Seafood Market was a refreshing find in Bay Ridge. We came for dinner with my wife, parents, and…read moresiblings and ordered a big family-style spread of more than 10 dishes. We had stir-fried snails, jellyfish, Dungeness crab, live steamed fish, braised eggplant with fish fillet, stir-fried cauliflower with preserved meats, coral shrimp, sliced conch with crispy tofu, beef with string beans, seasonal vegetables, and fish maw soup. Everything came out hot, delicious, and well seasoned. The Dungeness crab was a standout, and it was refreshing to enjoy such a wide variety of seafood and traditional dishes. My wife was pleasantly surprised by the entire meal. The interior was nicely done and felt different from many other Chinese restaurants in Brooklyn. Service was attentive, and they seated us in a corner where we could enjoy our family conversation without constant interruption. The food came out very quickly, maybe a little too quickly, but we were fine with it. They were unfortunately out of a few fish and clam options, as well as several wines, but it did not take away from a great dinner. Highly recommended for a family-style Chinese seafood meal in Bay Ridge.

It was around 4:30pm and when we arrived, it was empty which was perfect for us. Space is big and spacious and their tables, plating, and decor really stood out to me. Seemed fancier than other Chinese restaurants! Ordered a variety of dishes and they were all really large portions and well-prepared. None were overly salty or sweet, just right. My favorite was their chicken, eggplant and salted fish claypot dish. It's one of my favorite dishes in general and they made it very well. Definitely will come here more often and will rec my family to try this place out for our next family event.

You order the food by scanning the bar code and ordering on your phone. Ambience: This is a quiet restaurant with no music and can hear other people talking since the area is close together. Curry Fish Balls: This was so-so and could have tasted a little better. Rice noodle with peanut sauce: This was delicious and I would definitely get this again. Baked fried rice with curry and beef: My brother said this was delicious and the curry tasted better than the curry fish ball. Baked pasta with chicken: This was delicious as well and had just the right amount of taste. Hong Kong Milk Tea: This does not come with sugar even when you order it with sugar. You have to put your own sugar. Overall: We would definitely come back here again to try the other menu items that they have.

Very creamy without being overly sweet, and the toast was perfectly crispy just the way I like it Milk Tea (4/5): A classic HK-style milk tea, rich, smooth, and spot on. You can't go wrong. Beef Stew Ho Fun (4.25/5): Very enjoyable. The beef stew was super tender and the ho fun noodles had a great texture, though the broth could have used a touch more depth and flavor Baked Pork Chop over Fried Rice in Tomato Sauce (3/5): The sauce had great flavor, but adding peppers and red onions felt a bit unusual. You don't typically see those in traditional baked pork chop dishes, and they didn't quite go well imo Overall, a solid spot for a HK cafe

It is strictly a…read moreChinese take out joint alongside several other hot food vendors in a very attractive setting designed and executed on the right hand side of the store as you walk in. It benefits from the neighborhood. I just became aware of its existence while looking for an Asian alternative to all the usual suspects in the area. It surprised me being next door to Gold Coin II, and directly behind Little Dragon, yet without any exterior signage. For $6.99 I loaded up a to-go container with General Tso's Chicken, Sesame Chicken, Chicken & String Beans, Fried Rice, Dumpling and Egg Roll. All food tastes best when right off the stove, and clearly I was not tasting the optimal dishes by the time I was sitting at my dining room table. Still, those are the cards Mai and I were dealt. In each case, the sauces were a thickish goo, with flavor varying little between the General and Sesame. The former was very mildly spiced, but predominantly sweet; while the later was unabashedly sugary. The String Beans were steamed and retained a slight snap, which I appreciated. The Egg Roll was not good, as it seemed dominantly shredded cabbage, and not hot enough to keep its skin crispy. The Pork Dumpling was fished out of a soy/ginger soup that was absorbed into the thick skin, and the stuffing was ample; yet the taste was lacking. All in all, for strictly take out Chinese/American, the offerings were adequate, but not nearly as good as most surrounding sit down restaurants, which in and of themselves are at best only Okay. Mai's Garden has a lovely setting for being an in-house vendor, but the actual victuals leave a lot to be desired. Nice idea. Poor execution.

I'd never had them before and off I went to Chinatown to poke around and see who might have them. This place looked like the kind of place that most people would walk by - it looks outdated and well, run down. But their menu had it and I sat down and tried it out. I chose the $7 version with steamed shrimp and OH MY! I have a new favorite. Loved it. Out of curiosity, I also decided to try out the salt and pepper pork, which just basically turned out to be a fried pork chop. Pretty generous serving, with lots of fried garlic and onions, and fresh jasmine rice. Not bad. Saved most of it to bring home.

Their roast duck was perfectly seasoned and cooked, skin was delicious, sometimes the meat portion for this selection is a little lacking cuz the weight is made up of bones, but otherwise really good. That's just the cost of getting roast duck as an option. Their char siu taste, quality, and portion all exceed expectations, really good. Perfectly seasoned with their marinade that penetrates the meat fully. And lastly their roast pork, crispy meaty, great crust, meats a little dry but still really good! Definitely my favorite place in Philly!
