Came back for dinner and found a few new dishes we really liked…read more The Kung Pao tofu was the standout. The outside had a light crisp texture, while the tofu inside was very soft. The sauce, peanuts, and scallions all worked really well together. The steamed egg with clams was also excellent and definitely best eaten hot. The chicken fried rice was another favorite. It was flavorful without being greasy, the chicken was tender, and the cabbage gave it a nice texture. We also ordered the dry fried string beans again, and they were just as good as last time. The tomato beef stew had a rich tomato flavor and very tender beef. It wasn't my personal favorite, but my husband loved it. The restaurant has a polished but comfortable atmosphere and works well for group dinners, family meals, or a date.

I was looking for a different Chinese restaurant to try in Jersey City, particularly one that had a…read moredecent variety of vegetarian offerings. Fortunately, we discovered Yuan, located in the office area of Newport. We arrived shortly after 6pm on a Friday evening, effectively an early dinner for us and most. The bright side is that we were able to finish easily within an hour. I do enjoy their little booths. We sat in one and kinda felt private even if it wasn't. Just a nice little touch, we felt. To start, we ordered the Eggplant with Minced Pepper Sauce. This had a really nice kick to it. A pretty cool way to eat Eggplant. We enjoyed it. After that, we split Veggie Noodles & the Kung Pao Tofu. The noodles were great as I anticipated. The Kung Pao Tofu was cooked pretty well too. I was looking for something different from the Ma Po Tofu I'm used to eating as I'm getting a little sick of the after taste. This Kung Pao, like most others, has a combination of every flavor palette. Perhaps a little too much for me, but maybe if they could make a General Tso's Tofu, that'll bring me back to my memories of Chinese Takeout! Anyhow, this place is pretty good for dinner at a reasonable time. I highly recommend. My other half will be trying the non-vegetarian options in the future!

The man who had most of their popular dishes but while ordering, we found out few of them were out of stock, regardless we ordered chicken and shrimp dumplings, pork and crab dumplings, eggplant and garlic sauce, soy beef brisket, stir fried water Spanish, shrimp fried rice, half packing duck, and Sichuan style fish. All of them were so flavorful, delicious dishes. Pecking duck actually came with a whole bao setup, where we made our own ones with celery, cucumber, pineapple, duck sauce and sugar. Beef brisket was my most favorite dish. We also ordered the Non-alcoholic pineapple beer that came in a big barrel-like glass jar. The service in the beginning was good, but as the restaurant got busier, the staff members were having a harder time serving all the tables. Luckily we put in all our orders before I got busy, so all of them came out in very short intervals. Overall, a solid place serving lots of delicious dishes.

We've lived up the block from this place for 3 years and finally sat down to dine in. It was empty…read moreand the girl serving us was the only one there and didn't really provide us with customer service. We had to wait 15 minutes just for our sodas. The dishes are very unique in cultural sourcing - it's not what you expect of a regular Chinese restaurant. The servings are HUGE and good for 2 servings. The ambiance is not that great even though there's a big space and there was a lot of junk sitting around the place like extra stock of drinks and boxes all over the place. I don't think people really eat-in here. When I did takeout, it was still not worth the price of other similar restaurants in the area. Also this place doesn't have combinations sold together -- you have to buy rice on the side for EVERY dish which is not a traditional way to serve each dish in general. The prices here are not worth trying it - way overpriced and overcharged! Should be more affordable since we do not get the rice with the combination plates.

This was one of the best Sichuan restaurants I have tried in New Jersey. We ordered the Black…read moreTruffle Beef Fried Rice, Garlic Morning Glory, Snakehead Fish Filet w. Pickled Cabbage & Chili, and Sichuan Spicy Cold Jelly. The Fish Fillet soup was definitely the standout. I absolutely love this dish and order it each time we go for Sichuan food. I really enjoyed the way 62 Secret Kitchen makes this soup. The broth was nice and tangy but the pickles still retained some of their kick. The fish was super tender and the soup was loaded with meat and vegetables. I also really loved the Black Truffle Fried Rice. The beef was really tender and the rice was so flavorful and comforting. I just wish the truffle flavor came through a little more! The Spicy Cold Jelly was just okay for me. It was brutally spicy without much other flavor. The Garlic Morning Glory were super yummy and not too greasy. The leaves were still perfectly crunchy. The inside of the restaurant is so nice and sunlit in the early evening. We sat by the window, which I found really romantic. I loved looking out to the sidewalk and watching people pass by. I also think the service was top notch. Overall we had an amazing experience at 62 Secret Kitchen and would definitely return.

They focus on sichuan and shanghainese dishes, but what really caught my attention was the FREE hanfu experience! It was pretty busy even on a rainy Monday, which says a lot about how popular it is in the neighborhood. It's located near Exchange Place/Grove St PATH! ＊Noodle w. Shredded Beef & Chili Pepper 小椒牛肉絲拌麵 $16 ** Their dry mix noodles totally exceeded my expectations! So saucy, perfectly bouncy noodles, and they didn't skimp on the bell peppers or beef at all. ＊Fried Bean Gluten 蘇式烤麩 $13 * My all-time favorite appetizer! The presentation was a little fancier than other spots, and the portion size matched the price as there were plenty of pieces of bean gluten. ＊Braised Abalone with pork Belly and Quail Egg 鮑魚元寶紅燒肉 $38 A "lucky dish" as abalone shaped like little gold ingots. The abalone was really tender, though I was hoping the pork belly would be melt-in-your-mouth. It came in a hot stone pot to keep it warm. The thick hongxiao sauce made me want a bowl of rice to soak it all up! ＊Tea-Infused Chicken with Mint 香茶薄荷葉香酥雞 $25 I could hardly taste the tea flavor in chicken, but the crispy mint really stole the show! The chicken stayed juicy and tender, and thankfully it wasn't too "yeet hay" after all lol. ＊Osmanthus Milk & Fermented Rice 桂花冰酥酪 $10 ** They've got many traditional, nourishing desserts, like pear soup, black sesame paste, and brown sugar fried sticky rice, but we went for floral and refreshing. The osmanthus and sweet fermented rice really popped in the milk pudding! Definitely save room for dessert.

The Good: The concept is cool, and you can tell they put a lot of thought into unconventional dumpling stuffings and unique flavor pairings. The Bad: For a casual dumpling and noodle joint, it ends up being surprisingly pricey. Also, some of the fusion flavor profiles can be a bit hit-or-miss depending on your palate--not every creative combo quite hits the mark. It's a fun spot to check out if you're looking to try something different, but given the price and mixed flavor results, I'm probably in no rush to make it a regular rotation.

My wife did a stir fried vegan noodle bowl (with gluten free noodles); i did an extra spicy chicken noodle bowl. Both had a great depth of flavor and a sauce that clings to the noodles. The options of noodle width (extra thin to extra wide), spice level, and ingredient substitutions make it a great choice for takeout / delivery. And having lamb and crawfish choices make Dun Huang stand out
