Annabelle R.

Came by in the afternoon this past Sunday, and there was a small line at the entrance (inside Lion food center). The wait to order was about 15 minutes with just 4-5 people ahead of me. And I liked observing how they chop up the meats right in front of you. I ordered the roasted duck rice plate for takeout, and it was juicy and delish, a good amount of meat on the bones, and just enough fat to add flavor. But the ratio of rice to meat was way off. They are really generous with the rice, as well as the cabbage. I had a satisfying meal. However, I would never dine in here, even though they have tables and seating inside. The place is just really run down and not very inviting. The cleanliness is questionable. The plastic utensils were cheap and flimsy too. Also, service wasn't the friendliest, though they get the job done to keep the line moving.

Past 9am on a Tuesday.  Perhaps they should update their posted opening hours??,
CM P.

Advertised times for opening says 9am. I was there from 9am to 9:50am. The place was still closed. I'm not sure if they have changed their opening times, but it would be nice to know so people don't waste their time going there. Hours posted on the door say 9am...posted times on Yelp also say 9am. I've had food there before and it was okay...so take it for what it's worth if you plan to go there...

BBQ Pork (Cha Siu)
Jia M.

The cha siu was dry and the pieces were huge! I wish they would cut them into smaller pieces. The pork belly wasn't crispy anymore by the time I ate them for dinner, but I think it's still better than the cha siu. There was also a long line at around 1PM on a Saturday. It took us around 20 minutes to order. Keep in mind that they will charge you a service fee if you use credit card to pay.

Wow I bit into their show my is so delicious you got to try it
Elma L.

I highly recommend this establishment you could eat there or you could have it to go just like me I had it to go my gosh they're barbecue gross pork was so delicious I can't stop eating it and their pork buns the sesame seed roll and their show my I highly recommend it to everybody to order their food cuz there's is so delicious yes it's a small establishment but it's worth going into their establishment because their food is so delicious I want I've been wanting to taste the dim sum and I finally did this morning and it's absolutely rated 10 not 5 but 10 because of the way they put their tender loving care into their food the way they make it I highly recommend everybody to go and have their dim sum and their food whether it's to go or you could eat there go and try it cuz I I still have some more that I'm going to keep on and on and on eating and not only that I'm coming back for more

Pork bun
Hope L.

Came here and was really craving Chinese food. I got the char siu and the roast chicken plate over rice with two pork buns. The food was ready immediately and it was about $20 for all three items. The food was tasty but the portions were a bit small as we got a lot of rice but not that much meat. The roast chicken had a couple of bones in it and had a bit of a rubbery texture but the char siu tasted pretty flavorful. The pork buns were good and curbed my cravings but didn't have enough char siu filling in it. The seating area here wasn't very clean and the tables looked like they weren't cleaned in a while. I think most people take the food to go though so that would make sense. Overall, the food was about a 3.5/5 and the atmosphere of the restaurant was about 2/5.

Roasted Duck Rice Plate
Ivan B.

This is one of those places to get your lunch. However, you're better off doing a take out rather than dining in because of how bland the atmosphere is. Still boxes at the front. I remember dining here when I was a lot younger. Wasn't really looking bad there at that time. The food was slimy and oily. I consider it below average tbh. It's cheap at the bright side. I highly recommend going to other restaurants if you want to get better quality of duck and chicken.

Hopefully they will return soon
Kai D.

Love this place, hopefully they will return soon. Love their BBQ ribs, only place sell it.

Roast duck

Located inside Lion Supermarket in Newark. Came on a Sunday around 1pm and there was a long line. It took me 15 minutes to order and I ordered the roast duck and the bbq pork steamed buns (siopao). The roast duck smelled so good , I bought the roast duck for my family and they said it was very delicious. The pork bun was big and tasty. The pork bun is actually cheaper than when I buy from Filipino bakeries and the bread bun is softer. Paid around $34 for the whole roast duck and 3 pork buns and I paid with a credit card. It is a hole in the wall so don't expect fancy tables. Also, it is better to pay cash because they charge 3% processing fee for credit cards.

蘿蔔糕、魚翅餃和燒賣
Bryan L.

Shui mai was hard and the meat was not fresh. No wonder they had buy 3 get 1 free. Credit card add 3% fee.

#6: BBQ pork + Soy sauce chicken
Krystal G.

I agree with a review before me that said "haters gonna hate," but this spot is undefeatable. You think the aunties yelling "next" and the uncle chopping the duck care about what we say on Yelp? Lol. With that said, this spot is a no frills Chinese bbq and dim sum spot. You go in, get what you want, and leave. They've been in this plaza for as long as I can remember. They take card payments but charge extra 3%.

Came here on a Thursday evening with the family to celebrate another family member's upcoming…read morenuptials, and there were ten of us in the party that evening. This was a typical Cantonese style eatery where you would get together for family gatherings and/or to celebrate events. The decor had the usual elements that you would expect from such a place: crystal chandeliers, fish tanks, gold columns, and giant TV screens. We tried their 10-course banquet-style dinner that they were advertising for $488 (before tax) and I believe this special was only available on weekdays. Portion sizes were extremely generous, and they did not skimp on the ingredients either. The banquet courses included delicacies such as suckling pig, geoduck, whole fish, and lobster to name a few. This meal easily fed ten people, and we still had plenty of leftovers to take home. It was such a great value that towards the end of the evening the restaurant sold out of their banquet special. Overall, the food was pretty good...even though they did overcook the lobster. They have their own huge parking area, so it was super convenient. The dining area was very spacious. The service was casual and efficient. I went to dinner with no expectations, so I was pleasantly surprised. This place impressed my family that they even came back the next morning to try their dim sum.

Everything we ordered was good - there wasn't anything that I didn't like. The variety makes it especially fun when you're with a group since you can order a bunch of different things and share everything around the table. Also, the cart servers are truly superwomen/men! I'm not sure how they move those carts around so quickly lol. Definitely part of the fun of the whole dim sum experience.

They only had two people working and there were about 5 tables of diners. These two servers were running around non-stop and you had to flag them down every time. They didn't have time to refill our tea pot so they just left a big jug of hot water at our table to refill it ourselves. The restaurant is large, but feels very old and dated. Some chairs were taller than others, carpet needs to be replaced, its in desperate need of a deep cleaning, refresh and remodel. The food was just OK. Some stuff was overcooked and our fish dish and some of the crab was a little under cooked, while some dishes were swimming in oil. Between 8 adults and 2 kids, we had about 9-10 dishes with lots of leftovers (noodles) to take home. Since my mom picked one of the preset menu options, our bill was over $500 for mediocre Chinese food!!! Let's just say, I have no intention of ever coming back.

We were early so I thought more people would trickle in as noon approached but it remained pretty dead for most of the lunch hour with maybe one other group of diners that arrived after us. This restaurant is known for their lobster noodles and king crab. Didn't feel like splurging too much for lunch so we opted for the lobster noodles. It wasn't bad but didn't blow my socks off either. The noodles, I felt were on the soggy side and overcooked. I like my noodles al dente. The Peking duck left my mom disappointed. She's a pretty good cook so having higher standards, she may be harsher with criticism than most, but this time I agree with her. The Hong Kong version of roast duck may not be as fancy as Peking duck from Beijing but I expect it to be at least minimally roasted. Mom took one bite and said it tasted like boiled or steamed duck that was thrown in a fryer to make the skin crispy after being boiled. The meat was not the consistency of roast duck and the skin was too dry and wrinkled. Now for someone who isn't a good cook, I doubt they would tell the difference. One saving grace is the waitress was very friendly and courteous. This appears to be a family run restaurant. I wouldn't mind giving them another chance but this location was slightly out of the way for me. I can at least say, I came, tried the food, and gave an honest review.

The online ordering is not working! I waited for 20 minutes for a confirmation to be sent to my…read moreemail and received no confirmation. So, I called the restaurant, just to be told that their "online service is no yet set up." I had to place my order over the phone and was told that it will take 15 minutes to be ready for pick up. I arrived within 15 minutes and my order was not even ready. I waited almost 45 minutes for my order to be done. Also to mention, the pricing on their website are old pricing! I had to call the restaurant back and verify why my receipt did not match the price that was on their website.

XLB is some of the best I've had, with them being HUGE and filled with nice hot broth. String bean with pork is savory and has a deep rich flavor.

Remember to ask for the ginger container so you can put your condiments in to dunk them in. Pan Fried Chive Dumplings with scallop and shrimp (5/5) $14.50 You get 3 very crispy dumplings. Extra chives in the middle so you must love chives along with diced up scallops and shrimp. Very tasty! Spicy Cumin Zhajian Noodles with Pork (4/5) $15.95 It wasn't too spicy very tolerable and slight sweet cumin flavor sticky pieces of pork. Make sure to toss well with the noodles. It also comes with thinly sliced cucumbers and bean sprouts (which I should have removed from the dish) as we both actually don't eat it. Shrimp and Pork Shao Mai (4/5) $14.50 Comes with 5 pieces. Each piece was a good size and juicy. I would definitely come back to try more dishes. Come with more people to try a variety of them!

The Shao Mai - even though it's pork, it's seasoned and has texture like a dim sum beef ball. Loofah and Shrimp XLB - good flavor, but it's a loose filling (nothing to form it into a meatball). Salted Egg Yolk Tofu - tastes good, a little more moisture than what you would expect from this style of prep.

Gets us every time. So good. The A choy dish. Was cooked to perfection..still a little crisp to the bite. The addition of braised pork belly was a taste of savoriness that rounded the veggie freshness. The XLB here has always been solid. Nice ratio of filling to broth. The XLN skin here is also on the thinner side. Perfectly done. Glad that this restaurant is making it through the economy when so many in the area have closed.
