Sunday Lunch with friends. One of them has been eaten to…read morethis place a few times and he suggested to go there; The restaurant is quiet and cozy, very spacious and you can literally have a conversation without yelling, there was not background music neither; We ordered Pork Juicy Buns and different variety of Dumplings for the table and they were very good and fresh, you can watch at the ladies making the buns and dumpling that people order, from the dining area; we had also the fried buns and a dessert; A couple things went off though; the tap water was not good to drink so I asked for bottles of water and they don't have any bottles of water available for selling; I asked for Hot Tea then and also that wasn't available, ( I had never experienced an Asian restaurant without Hot tea) , so I went to the store next door to buy water for me and my friends ; It would be a good upgrade to sell bottles of water; Overall the food and service was good, the ambience was nice;

I was invited by friends to dine at Wu's Shanghai Dumpling in North Brunswick NJ. It was my first…read moretime visiting, and as someone who grew up enjoying Asian cuisine, I was excited to see if they truly serve authentic Shanghai dumplings. Once we were seated, my friend ordered a variety of dishes for us to have. Pork Juicy Buns, Dumplings (Chicken & Sweet Corn, Beef & Water Chestnut, Spicy Pork & Kimch) as well as Shanghai Pan Fried Pork Buns. To my surprise, Wu's Shanghai Dumpling met my expectations. The dumplings were really good overall, and the Pork Juicy Buns standout that afternoon because they were really delicious. The service was good and the ambiance was pleasant and we enjoyed overall our dining experience. One negative note however, their service water tasted off. One of my friend even had to step out to buy bottled water since it wasn't available in the restaurant. At this time, I'd rate this restaurant 4 stars and I'd definitely come back to try more items on their menu. Hopefully next time, they'll offer good service water or bottled water instead.

You really cannot go wrong with any of the standard dim sum items or American-Chinese classics, but they have a huge array of authentic Cantonese items. If you're not sure where to start, go with the assorted dim sum, soup dumplings, and the spicy salted pork chop.

This was a classic dimsum spot with the lazy Susan in the middle and solid dish selection.

We enjoyed our meal and left full - I wouldn't mind coming back again in the future for more dimsum!

Besides who closes a restaurant at 9 pm on a Saturday? Ridiculous and highly unprofessional attitude. Also if you arrive after 8:45 they purposely serve your entrees on a smaller plate with smaller portion sizes so that you have to eat less and then eat fast so they can push you out of there so they can catch the van/bus to Queens or wherever they live. Ridiculous!!

This restaurant features a minimalist Shanghai-style design, centered around a striking red and…read moregold color palette. Although the decor is simple, the bold use of red and gold makes it highly memorable--and the space is very clean. Even though the bowls and chopsticks are disposable, there's clear attention to detail. The chopsticks feel great to use, and they are even engraved with "上海小笼," which is a thoughtful touch. The bowls are made of thick, sturdy paper, with a beautiful red base and gold rim--both aesthetically pleasing and environmentally friendly. Ordering is done through a self-service kiosk, but there are still staff members nearby. When it's not busy, they are friendly and happy to assist with any questions. The Noodle in Scallion Sauce （上海葱油拌麵） has a rich scallion oil flavor with perfectly chewy noodles, while the Cold Noodle w. Peanut Butter Sauce （麻將涼拌麵） is packed with a strong peanut flavor and equally chewy texture. Both dishes are delicious and taste very similar to Taiwanese sesame noodles. Every dish is served fresh and hot, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality. Whenever I'm in Edison, I can't help but come back to try more items on the menu.

The hostess saw this and asked if we moved the table and told us not to do that... After we told her why we moved the table she said no don't do that. Odd... but ok. We got the pork sticky rice shumai, pork in garlic sauce over rice, sautéed string beans and pepper corn chicken. Shumai was ok. The pork in garlic sauce had way too much sauce and was a tad sweet for our liking; it was drowning in sauce. The strings and pepper corn chicken were very good. Both had a slight touch of heat. I wish we ordered differently but overall the food was ok. Our server was very nice and attentive. We're debating coming back to try more of the menu but with so many Asian/Chinese restaurants to try in Edison, I think we'd try someplace else.

The food comes out lightning fast. Everything is very reasonably priced. Best of all, it's all delicious. I tried stuff outside of my comfort zone and I loved it all. My favorite were the pork juicy buns (soup dumplings) but the most unique thing was the pan fried noodle which was like a crispy deep fried noodle that would soften as it sat in the sauce. The golden lava buns were sweet and rich and perfect for dessert.

After visitation for a beloved family member while in New Jersey state, my party arrived super…read moreearly and waited 1.25 hour for opening on a Saturday. We were second standing outdoors waiting in this big fat long line. Immediately upon opening for the day the line nearly forced entry near stampede and this cafe was immediately packed to full occupancy of patrons with free seating. The Yelp reviews are accurate and truthful. The food is great. This is a small cafe with only approximately eight tables. I do not recommend large parties of five and greater. It is no-frills, but not exactly "hole in the wall" type that lack in aesthetics for upscale lavish atmosphere but the deficiency is resolved in the food quality. There is one sole functioning restroom in the whole business, ergo, stand in line and wait. We entered hungry in a lugubrious sense of deep sorrow, but exited hunger pangs fulfilled. When exiting upon completion of our lunch meal, there was a line that quickly formed outdoors waiting. Unfortunately, access to this cafe in Edison, NJ is by car only and there is a free parking lot that is shared with neighboring businesses located in a small shopping complex. There are no business cards, and no takeout menus available. Customer service is efficient as the staff worked methodically hustling busy to take orders and fulfillment. Our male waiter was attentive to respond to our inquiries and make suggestions based on our desires. I was able to keep the sales receipt. Price is in the rationale realm of stagflation totaling $41.75. Nota Bene: No table hibernation as the table turnover is fast pace with a line overflowing outdoors which cannot interrupt the flow. My foodie synopsis: Pork steam soup dumplings, 6 pcs, siu2 lung4 baau1, 小籠包, $8.75 Very juicy, flavorful and great. It was served piping hot. This is my favorite default dish for every visit at any Shanghainese ethnic cuisine. However, there were no serving tongs provided for this particular appetizer which is industry standard. Preserved cabbage with pork noodle soup, syut3 coi3 juk6 si1 min6, 雪菜肉絲麵 $9.50 This is a satisfying Chinese comfort food. This noodle soup was abundant with noodles, pork and chopped vegetables. It provided warmth to my very broken heart. Shanghai chicken in wine sauce, zeoi3 gai1, 醉雞, $8.95 A traditional Chinese cold appetizer, aka Chinese Drunken chicken made with Chinese Shaoxing cooking wine. It has amazing flavor and texture to be deliciously enticing. Of course, the cooking wine brings flavor to this appetizer making you want more. Shanghai pan fried U-Don noodle, soeng6 hoi2 cou1 caau2 min6, 上海粗炒面, $11.95 Abundant noodles with good consistency and it not heavily filled with grease and oil.
