    Appetizers: Golden Fritters on top and Phirom Dumpling below.
    Brenda C.

    Service - 3/5 Ambiance - 5/5 Food - 3.5/5 (generous portions, and this is based on their lunch menu) Upon entering, one word to describe the ambiance: opulent. The minute you walk through the doors, you are greeted with a striking golden figure, which I believe is Kinnari, who is guarding the entrance to this lavish restaurant. The walls have beautiful painted murals, and ornate Khon masks adorn one of the back walls. It is also hard to miss the exceptional hanging leaves above, giving way to an enchanted and serene forest. While the restaurant was crowded by noon, we were quickly seated. After we had a quick overview of their menu, we decided on their lunch menu. Waiting for the waitress to finally come back to take our order was not, however, as quick as we were seated. I'm chalking it up to the place being busy at the time. After we placed our order, we were served water. My suggestion is to order a beverage, as their water tasted heavily chlorinated. Here's what we ordered: Appetizers: Phirom Dumplings - 3/5 stars. Two (2) steamed dumplings that were a tad overcooked. Their filling consisted of ground chicken and shrimp mashed to a paste encased in a dumpling skin. I think it is their rendition of Kanom Jeeb, which is supposed to be ground pork, with shrimp and vegetables, wrapped within fairly thin dumpling skin. Comes with soy sauce, as it was salty. Golden Fritters - - 2/5 stars. Two (2) fried dumplings that were very dry. Basically, these are the fried versions of Phirom Dumplings. These also came with a soy sauce condiment, but this sauce had a slight sweetness to it. Entrees: Drunken Noodle - 4/5 stars. It was a very good blend of savory and umami flavors, albeit a little too bold due to the heavy-handedness of the sauces. Plenty of mushrooms, string beans, and bell peppers, which are greatly appreciated. The tofu, being the chosen protein, was a tad overdone as the skin was a bit rubbery, and the inside of the tofu lost its moisture. I'm guessing these were cooked ahead of time and just reheated when people order them. Hence, the deduction of a star. Basil Fried Rice - 2/5 stars. Another classic Thai rice dish that is very popular, but this was too salty, sadly. It was hard to eat, so luckily, my husband shared his Drunken Noodle entree with me. We will take it home and add additional jasmine rice to lessen the saltiness. It was a huge disappointment, as I stated earlier, fried rice is a popular dish in Thai cuisine. I couldn't smell the aroma of the jasmine. I should have been able to taste the sweetness and savoriness from the basil, but again, it was extremely salty. What was odd was the texture of the rice: the rice was hard. I suspect the rice would have benefited from being cooked longer so that the water could be absorbed. Both entrees had generous portions. The service was polite. They didn't ask if everything was okay when they saw a plate practically untouched. The tables are a bit too close, as I noticed when people sat down or when the server came to place our food on our table. Very impressive place for a date and a great place to meet up with friends to get away from it all. Despite the fact that it wasn't a perfect meal, I would like to come back and try it again, but perhaps at a less crowded time. Parking is within a shared, abundant strip mall parking area.

    I have eaten there once and gotten take out a couple of times. I definitely recommend trying this place. It's very flavorful and since I like things spicy they can make that happen! It's decorated very elegantly inside. I think they may also have a separate room you can use for parties as well! The only downside is the one time I ordered some mango sticky rice it seemed so small of an amount for the price I had paid (but maybe that's just what inflation looks like now). It was delicious though!

    This place serves authentic Thai food. I tried the Phirom Dumplings and the Cashew & Nut Entree with Chicken. The service was quick, and the food was tasty. The atmosphere is great and looks like an exquisite place. However, the food didn't live up to the standards, and you can get similar tastes at other Thai restaurants. This place is good for a quick business lunch.

    It was a RhongTiam before but I think it's under new ownership. The interior is outrageous and beautiful. They added more seatings in the back as well. The food here is so well seasoned and flavorful. My favorite is the duck salad and pad thai. I wish the server could check on us more often, they didn't ask us how we like our food once in a whole meal But that's okay, I don't mind but just an advice here for the staff team. Will definitely come back! $75 for 4 dishes and a drink is not bad. Plenty parking spaces since it's in a strip mall!

    Great ambiance with a lovely decorative interior. This place is in a plaza with plenty of parking. I only tried their drunken noodle with tofu - vegetarian version with spice level 2 and it was delish! I did ask for more hot sauce. Plenty of vegetarian options. Service was fine.

    Overall, great experience. Beautiful ambience, yummy food, friendly service. A few glitches, all handled well. We reserved on yelp, they had no record of the reservation but still accommodated us (so call to reserve!). It was a fixed price menu for Valentine's day. Great options. I chose a dumpling described as steamed with shrimp and herbs. It ended up having chicken which I do not eat. They easily exchanged it right away. I mention these to highlight the good service but also to check items if you have food restrictions! The food was delicious but not spicy (and no one asked about spice level so possibly they just have mild food? But again, I'd ask since they are accommodating). Definitely recommend.

The owner and service are wonderful and kind. If you want a brilliant taste explosion things like Mongolian beef, the surprisingly inventive Sushi pizza (if have not had beautiful sushi flavor on fluffy scallion pancakes you haven't lived), and their drunken noodle are some of my favorites. Go for the lively mood and feeling and the great atmosphere too! We are lucky have this local treasure.

    Hiro is an AYCE sushi buffet that also offers a la carte services. I have been here multiple times…read moreand can safely say that this is probably the best AYCE sushi buffet in the Central NJ area. Even if there is a wait, we have never waited longer than 30 minutes for a table. The service is very prompt and waiters are very good at checking on you and refilling your drinks, cleaning up your table, or asking you if everything is good. The food is ordered via paper and pencil, you select what you want and provide it to the waiter. They send the order to the kitchen and you receive the food when it comes out. For an AYCE buffet, the fish quality is consistently pretty good at Hiro. They offer Nigiri and Sashimi on the menu, as well as classic and specialty rolls. If I could suggest one thing it'd be adding hand rolls to the menu. The tuna and salmon here are consistently good and the yellowtail was surprisingly good. They have a bunch of different appetizers ranging from edamame, sushi pizza, to tartar, most of them are actually very good. The kitchen entrees are very good as well such as the kimchi fried rice and the Mongolian beef. Although it's not the most spacious inside, the way they set up the booths and tables it gives you enough separation from other tables to not feel super crammed inside. Highly recommended for an AYCE sushi spot in Central NJ!

    When my friend's Xmas party was canceled, I started looking for a good Chinese restaurant on Xmas…read moreand found great reviews here. Glad I made a reservation via Google Assistant b/c it was a full house plus tons of people waiting (1hr) for their takeout orders. Great sign! We ordered quite a bit for 3 of us b/c we're excited to try them out. We loved them all especially the wontons in the authentic sauce as it should be (not in sesame or peanut sticky sauce), the salt/pepper chicken as how I remembered from back home, the delicious noodle soup with tender beef and tendon, and the flavorful black bean fish. The restaurant is nice and clean. They're busy but the kitchen was pretty quick. The waitress brought out the dish as it's done, not waiting to serve all dishes at once. We actually preferred this way. The wait staff were attentive and friendly. We really enjoy our dinner. It's less than 30 min for us; we will definitely return to try some Sichuan dishes.

    Shu House is one of the 3 places I will miss most dearly after I leave NJ…read more Born and raised in China, I can say that Shu House serves some of the most authentic Chinese food in town. Usually I'm really discourage by Chinese restaurants on Yelp with a good rating. But not this place. Surely you'll get orange chicken and fried rice. But there are just so many stars on the menu. The braised pork belly is so tender that you barely have to chew. Get a spoonful of that sauce to mix it with rice and oh my god, I just ate two bowls of rice in an instant. Crispy ducks is never disappointing either. Duck meat is very lean, so you need to eat with the skin, ahhh hot and crispy, and then you dip it in the plum sauce oh my god perfect. And then there's the cabbage, the double cooked pork, the spicy lamb pot, the golden tofu, the list just goes on and on. I just cannot say enough good things about this place. I come to Shu House and part of me just feels like I'm home. I've soon become familiar with the servers. They'd nod at me with a smile every time I'm there. They know my go to orders. They slide in extra peanuts because they know me and my friends love them. I especially like coming here during the winter. There was a time I visit almost every week. It's warm and calming and homey. In here, the harsh winter stops bothering you. You are warmed with sincere food and genuine love. I hope Shu House continues to thrive for a very long time.

That is what you get when you get great eats at Terakawa Ramen. As you enter, you'll notice the wall murals with the chefs on one side and the opposite wall has anime customers slurping their ramen. Yes, it's perfectly fine to make those loud slurping noises to show your appreciation for a great bowl of ramen. Here's what was ordered: - Signature Terakawa Ramen - 4.5/5 stars Boasted of rich, lovingly homemade pork bone soup with a good amount of sliced roast pork, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, ginger, scallions, and a jammy egg. The straight thin noodles were al dente. They maintained their texture in the broth, brilliantly. The broth was deep and flavorful. - Pork belly Donburi - 4.5/5 stars The juicy tender pork belly was plentiful, sliced perfectly as their we're not too thick nor paper thin. Their flavor was rich, savory with a balance of sweetness from the soy dashi sauce. Elegantly layered in top of a humongous bowl of seasoned rice, along with a sprinkle of scallions, pickled radishes, and sesame seeds. The photo on their menu does not do it justice. I would have loved a jammy egg to be included to bring the dish to the next level. - Gyoza - 3.5/5 stars 5 pieces of Pan-fried gyoza dumplings with their dumpling sauce. I would prefer them to have been fried a bit more. The balance between their pork and cabbage was even. They were delightfully light in both taste and texture. The service was very good. Both Willie, the owner, and a charming waiter named Sung served us. Sung kept coming over checking in to attest our cups were full, and if we needed anything else. I was told the have two locations: Philadelphia and the one we're dining at, Princeton Junction, NJ. Both locations serve homemade recipes from the Kumamoto region of Japan. If ramen is your love language, this place will absolutely speak to your soul.

Oh well, that is history now and glad we tried Le Dish last night in 8 degree artic temps. Greeted upon arrival and shown to a choice of a banquet or table for 2, we opt fo the table for 2 in case other larger groups arrived after us. After running through the assian fusion menu we landed on our dishes for the evening opening with the soup dumplings (3 dumplings), and shimp shu mai (6 pieces). The shu mai came out fist as the soup dumplings takes longer to prepare. As lovely as the plating was the shu mai was cold in the center, had to send back ... our first dish, hum now we were concerned as it was quite cold in the restauarant as well. The soup dumplings came out and we were suprised to only see 3, how 2 people share 3 items, we figured it out (haha). The were very tasty and hot. Good dish to kick off this evening with. Then the replacement shu mai dish came out and now it was spot on. Very tasty. We then shared an a dish from the Le Dish Exclusive selection of the menu, Stuffed Eggplant with Black Bean Sauce-- eggplant stuffed with shrimp and pork and it was DELICIOUS and very much unexpected preparation. See my photo. We left nothing behind in this dish. So worth trying. We wrapped up the meal with an appetizer order of the pork fried dumplings, very good. Not overly fried, just the right amount of texture. The service was fabulous, easy to engage with, so friendly and helpful. They offer a 10% discount if pay by cash. We will be back as this is one our top 5 most often enjoyed food groups.

Lettuce leaves were crisp, and large enough to fill and enjoy the delicious filling. Vegitable Spring rolls were also ordered served hot and fresh and were on par with other top rated Asia Fusion resultants in the area. Two soups: Wonton and Hot and Sour. The Wontons were very large my wife had no concerns and finished it all. Hot and Sour was also very good, flavor a bit different than usual but portion was plenty and I added some of the Lettuce Wrap filling to it and customized it with more crunch. Entree: we split one entree - Shrimp LoMein / Shrimp Fried rice. Even splitting it for two we ended up taking half of both home. Very large portions and the taste was also above average comparable to the better Asian restaurants in the area. Their menu is very large so if you are looking for a top notch quality Asian cuisine with a VERY LARGE variety menu of dishes this is one place to definitely put on your list to explore. PS. Thai Ice Tea was off the hook flavorful! 5 Stars for the fusion aspect, quantity, quality and price as well!
