Dim Sum II Chinese Restaurant is located in one of the main shopping areas of Cranford. With the…read more(apparent) loss of Avenue East, it is one of the few remaining Chinese style eateries in the area. I had not visited this place in ages. I was not avoiding it or anything, I just often passed it on the way to some other place, but recently I thought it would be a good idea to revisit this restaurant after 12(!) years of not having dined here. The first surprise was that this restaurant no longer has sit down service. It is take out out only now. I asked about this and was told that this is largely due to staffing issues. It is sad because the interior has a classic setting complete with some classic doors that have probably been there longer than I've been alive and diner style booths. It's a lovely space and having dined in it, I am sad people can no longer do so. That said, during both of my recent visits this restaurant has done some brisk take out business. Each time I went there were at least two other orders waiting for pick up and phone calls to put more in. I truly hope this is a good sign and points to this restaurant being around for a while. So what did I get? Here are some highlights: SHRIMP TOAST This is a classic Chinese take out dish that I used to have all the time when I lived in New York City. In the 90's I remember every Chinese take out style place had a version of it. However, over the years it has disappeared off most menus, so I was thrilled to see it here. Made of shrimp paste on bread and deep fried this appetizer was absolutely delicious. The bread is crisp while the shrimp paste has a meaty chew and the flavor is very savory. If you're a fan of this dish, this is a must get. STEAMED CHICKEN DUMPLINGS Very well seasoned meat inside a somewhat thick dumpling shell. You can have these steamed or fried. I went with steamed to be a bit healthier. They come with a nice dipping sauce making for a savory and chewy delight. CHICKEN CORN SOUP Sometimes you get soups like a chicken corn soup and you wonder where all the chicken and/or corn is. Not so with this one! Dim Sum II loads up their soup with plenty of corn and chicken and it is delicious. Great silky texture soup with enough corn and chicken to almost eat like a chowder. It's fantastic. BOK CHOI WITH BLACK MUSHROOMS This vegetable combination comes in a delicious brown sauce. The veggies are always nice and fresh and they use actual shiitake style black mushrooms that are substantial with a good bite. SINGAPORE STYLE CURRY NOODLES Rice noodles cooked in a wonderful curry sauce with a combination of meats including chicken and shrimp, this is a wonderful dish that you do not see that often outside of traditional Chinese restaurants. Often this dish does not have enough curry flavor or it lacks the proper amounts of shrimp or chicken. This version however strikes the right balance across the board. I've had spicier versions, sure, but overall this was very well done. I loved the food here and look forward to my next visit. I highly recommend it!

said: 3-Star Review for China Cafe - Iselin, NJ…read more Tried China Cafe in Iselin for a quick takeout. Called ahead and placed the order -- they had it ready in just 10-15 minutes, which was impressive. I ordered the General Tso Tofu and a soup. The soup was actually pretty good, but the tofu dish was underwhelming. Despite asking for it to be spicy, it came out very sweet -- more like a dessert than a main course. Also, the price felt steep -- around $23-25 for tofu is on the higher end, especially when compared to other similar spots. Ambience was good The quantity was generous, and the restaurant itself looked clean with nice seating and good parking available. But for the price and taste, it didn't really hit the mark. Not bad, but definitely room for improvement.
