Ordered takeout for Chinese New Year with my parents' favorite Cantonese dishes and they were so happy with the quality and taste. Prompt pick up time and the fish was so fresh. Will definitely do this again when we don't feel like dining in. Front desk lady was very helpful. Typical Cantonese vibes that I grew up with. read more

The owner changed and the shrimp dim sum dishes were overcooked and tasted funny. They updated the place but food was a disappointment.

Price isn't bad (ended up just over $20 per person after tip), but the food is only so so. The douhua was kinda tough and everything was pretty MSG heavy and a bit mushy. read more

Came back to this dimsum spot after 15+ years give or take and was really disappointed. Not all the pictures show everything ordered, but a few items to note.....The egg tart was soggy and overly sweet, har gow skin was sticky with fishy shrimp, and har cheung had the same issue with tough skin. Lotus leaf rice wrap had barely any filling, and the chicken bun was mostly dough with almost no chicken. The coconut jelly did not have any coconut taste to it. Also ordered an egg fried rice on the side, and rice was all soggy. Very disappointing and all went downhill from the very first bite. I believe the only thing that stood out as good was the tea. read more

This is my go to Chinese food spot ever since I was a little kid. The place offers good authentic food in the heart of Edison. Some of my favorites include the Seafood Pan Fried Noodle, Peking Pork, and Steamed flounder. During the weekends, I would come here with my family for Dim Sum for breakfast. Honestly, you can grab a table quickly, and they offer really good Dim Sum Dishes. read more

Food was very bad.vwe got the pan fried seafood Noodle and all 4 people barely ate it. It was tasteless.

Absolutely loved wonder seafood. The staff was so kind and the food was delicious. We ordered nearly half of the paper menu and everything was so good. The staff thought we weren't going to finish it but when we did they rewarded us with a free tofu dessert which was also delicious lol I think they loved that we were honoring their food and enjoying it. I can't wait to go back to experience the carts because we were told there are more food options during the busy lunch schedule. 10/10 recommend ! read more

We drove about an hour to get here on a cold, windy, rainy Saturday morning and, well, we should have took the weather as sign because, disappointingly, our 1st time here was ... well ... you guessed it, a disappointment. I say this like a broken record, but I grew up in NYC and went to every good dim sum restaurant known to every dim sum aficionado in the 5 boroughs, as well as across the U.S. and abroad, and we just have not seen many NJ dim sum restaurants live up to it's easternly neighbor's standard. We were really hoping Wonder would be one of the few to be just as good as any dim sum restaurant we've been to, but, most of the main dim sum dishes just lacked flavor. Rarely, do we ever complain or does ANYONE complain about lack of salt in Chinese food, but, for some reason, most of the dishes we ordered was lacking that. From the dim sum carts (which I do love when they're going around), we ordered shrimp dumplings/har gow, pork dumplings/siu mai, chicken feet, turnip cake, shrimp rice noodle rolls, beef rice noodle rolls, molten egg custard buns, BBQ pork buns, spring rolls, stuffed eggplant and stuffed peppers, chive and shrimp dumplings and sticky rice. Let's just say they had a lot of the usual suspects you can order, which was nice to see. Most of the dim sum was just OK and some of it was downright ehhhh. I will say there were 2 major highlights though - the molten egg custard buns were smokin' hot, specifically the egg custard, which is what you hope for when you bite into that nice soft bun. The 2nd highlight was the BBQ pork bun. I mean, my goodness, it might have been one of the top 2-3 BBQ pork buns I ever had, period! It didn't hurt that it was served super fresh and that the BBQ pork was steamin' hot. Also, the buns were glazed and sticky with some sweetness, which actually made a world of difference. Both are most gets in my opinion. Overall, service was friendly inside and there were multiple carts circling while we were there. We arrived only a few minutes after they opened for service at 11am and easily got a table without a wait and, in fact, there was such quick turnover that we only saw a few people actually wait a little bit for a table. It was actually quite shocking that there was really no wait at all on a Saturday afternoon. Not sure if it's like that every weekend, but, if you're looking to be able to sit down right away for dim sum, this is your spot - just be prepared to know that it might be a bit sub-par depending on your experience and standards. read more

Simple dim sum restaurant in Edison. They were open on July 4th and there was no wait. Like most dim sum places, the food came out in carts. We just ordered the standard dim sum dishes but they do have a menu for non-dim sun items. They have very fresh seafood (still swimming in the tank)! Food was good but nothing mind blowing. The chicken feet was a little too sweet. Fast service. Typical dim sum restaurant vibe with the banquet tables and a stage for weddings or big parties. read more

Authentic Cantonese food that comes in a wide variety. Dim sum is good too. Friendly staff.

We ate dinner here with my family. We ordered a bunch of entrees and shared it with everyone. My favorite was the deep fried crispy chicken, crispy roast pork and the vegetable fried rice. Also, i dont know where they get their oranges but I love it so much it was sweet and juicy. Very hard to talk to staff because they couldnt understand what we were saying. read more

After coming here for many years, unfortunately they ran our credit card without any itemization. Decided to inquire how the check came out so much, and after pulling out a calculator we were way overcharged. What a circus act, no shame. Since we would never be coming back, and it's the fault of the owner/cashier and not the staff, we left a 25% tip anyway. Times are tough. Hopefully they give the tips properly to the staff. Terrible experience, and we will never be back again. read more

NO WONDER the parking lot and dining room was not as packed as usual. The family has been coming here for years. Since I am not local anymore, It has been only on occasion. Craving the walnut mayonnaise jumbo shrimp, my all time favorite there, i decided to bring some home for dinner. The friendly old man that had always welcomed us was not there and replaced by new faces with very little enthusiasm to greet and process my order. The shrimp was just ok, not as amazing as it usually is. The shrimps did not seem so jumbo and the mayo sauce was not the same consistency. I wonder if it is the same owners? Time to find a new fav walnut mayo shrimp spot. read more

We haven't been back since the pandemic. We went on a Monday and ordered 6 dim sum dishes and one lunch special. The dim sum and the lunch all come out hot. All delicious. Even though we only ordered one lunch special which comes with soup, both of us got soup. We were stuffed and had some left over to take home. read more

Excellent for eating in. However late this afternoon I called in a $100+ takeout order. The person who took my order went to the trouble of (correctly) reading back my order. Several serious problems arose: 1. When I arrived 20 minutes later, as instructed, to pick up my order, nobody was staffing the cashier counter. I had to wait a full 10 minutes for someone to notice I needed help and take my payment. (Note that the restaurant was NOT busy at the time: only two diners were eating.) 2. I became even more unhappy when I returned home and realized that my order was wrong. I had ordered shrimp in lobster sauce, but they gave me shrimp with walnuts. Very dissatisfied with that. 3. Also missing from my bag were condiments of any kind. There was no mustard, no duck sauce, no soy sauce. I recommend that you think twice before ordering takeout here. Clearly takeout customers are not their priority. At least on the bright side the salt baked chicken and chicken/corn soup were very good. read more

My partner suggested this location for dinner and I gave him props once we entered. The decor reminded me of the restaurants in Chinatown Chicago- around the 1990s. It was a great throwback and it felt comfortable and welcoming. We ordered a spicy pork dish and spicy shrimp dish. For soup, we had beef and Chinese parsley. The small order has four servings. At the beginning of the meal, you get a snack of garlic fried peanuts. Looking forward to having more dinners here! read more

The dim sum is still excellent and the service is still uneven. They even have "soupy" dumplings on the menu but not much soup and eat them quickly before the soup evaporates. I'd pass on those dumplings next time but could eat the Sui Mai and Beef Balls daily. read more

We had a banquet dinner for lunar new year celebration. Besides the extremely slow service (an hour wait before the first dish came), many standard dishes ordered, like Peking pork chops, fried chicken with garlic, pan fried steak, stir fried lobsters, came out different/bland/unimpressive. Even the red bean soup was subpar. The expensive dishes, like braised oysters with moss seaweed and braised sea cucumber, were very tiny. And we paid much money for this dinner. What a big disappointment. read more

Place is kind of dirty/worn down looking, but I enjoyed the meal I had there. Gets crowded during the day.

My family has been going to Wonder Seafood for more than a decade, so it pains me to write this, but I think both the service and quality of food has gone downhill over time, and the latest episode sort of sealed my impression of them. We arrived for a birthday celebration post-lunchtime at around 3pm to avoid crowds, and this server immediately "hounded" us in a "friendly" way -- he seated himself at our table, hiding all the menus to himself, and either recommended all the items that were market price or suggested making an item that's not in the menu (lobster on sticky rice) in a demanding and declarative manner. When I insisted on asking to see the menu first, he gave it to me albeit reluctantly (a little of "why, I'm telling you the good stuff" attitude) and we felt his pressure to order the recommended, quickly. For a moment he even brought me back into the old experience when I bought my first used car in college! The birthday person (not me) said what the heck, we're here to have fun and he's ok paying and accepted the suggestions. The food came in, the lobster with sticky rice came in and while it excelled in presentation, the content was disappointing. Some parts of the lobster were also undercooked or raw. The sea bass dish came by and the waiter filleted it for us into small plates -- it's delicious and well cooked. The (usual lo mein) noodle came in and it's perhaps one of the plainest, greasiest, worst noodles I tried in recent memory. The noodles were starchy and bland. The Chinese broccoli dish is standard. The clam with vermicelli was perhaps the worst as it has a mushy consistency and the noodles were cold. ALL of the few dim sum and shao lung bao as appetizers we ordered were cold (I understood it's 3pm and shouldn't expect a morning quality, but perhaps heating it up a bit would help?) The spare ribs dim sum is almost all fat with little meat. The recommended lobster dish was $80, fish was $60 and the clam dish was $30. When it came to paying it's a bit weird. Total was $225 (we had to ask for the receipt) and our birthday friend gave $300 cash to pay for it. After more than 20 minutes and twice asking for the change -- I felt they kind of expected the rest to be a tip for this super service -- it came back, with $20 less change. Only after asking for correction we received the proper amount. I understand if the server was eager to provide a commendable service, but there's a line between "pleasing" and "pushing" that they need to understand. I think the server played "polite" groups like us into groupthink with a used car salesman attitude, and I also think he knew it. 1/2 of the food was still okay (but not at those price tags), and the rest was unfortunately a far cry from how I remembered their food pre-pandemic. It's too bad, since their dim sum was usually very good. In the end, you may lose customers due to your eagerness to recommend the more expensive items but leave us with bad taste. read more

Extremely happy with my experience here. If you don't have time to make it into Chinatown but want an authentic Chinatown experience, then Wonder Seafood is definitely a place to try. If you are truly adventurous in your tastes, I would recommend giving Beef and Bitter Melon a shot. It's nothing like anything else you have had before as the average Americanized Chinese takeout place is not going to have Bitter Melon on the menu. It is definitely an acquired taste, but once acquired you want to have it again and again. It's truly one of my favorite dishes. My girlfriend, who isn't quite as adventurous as I am, ordered a standard wonton soup a standard roast pork and noodle dish. Again, both were excellent - much better than one would get at a local takeout. So yes, I'd recommend this place and yes I definitely intend to be back! read more

FRAUD!!! DO NOT EAT HERE!!! UNLESS YOU LOVE TO BE SCAMMED! YELLED AT AND CURSED OUT! My family and I have been coming here for decades since this place opened. this pains me to write this review but it has to be done. they need to be exposed. this was the family go-to place every weekend. but ever since they have new management this place has completely gone downhill and now fraud. they ask customers to pay in cash but will not give you a change. they will not tell you this up front, once they take your money and you ask I need change back?! they will say it is because they are not charging tax they have to charge this hidden fee. if you press on and they can't come up with a reason they will whip your money back at you and expect you to not be angry. we are not the only victims of this establishment. they were full-on cursing us out that we have to pay this fee. it is not written anywhere. the management did nothing to stop the front desk from cursing out their customers leads me to believe they are all in on it. I have never walked away from any restaurant this angry in my life before. read more

I liked all our orders. This place serves authentic Chinese food. The server seemed snobbish but other than him seeming angry, everything was good. I highly recommend the chicken feet and beef noodles. read more

I've had my fair share of dim sum and I had a disgusting experience here Ordered: Pork rolls with tofu skin Small clams Fried shrimp balls Shrimp rice roll Fried taro Congee In both shrimp dishes, the shrimp were sour. In the clam dish, 1/3 of the clams were empty shells.. Congee was decent ...but how do you mess up congee Fried taro was ok - just oily and bland Pork rolls weren't bad Main complaint how gross this place is. Because of where I sat, I watched the manager digging into plates of shrimp with his bare hands for a good minute- touched other people's plates and bills etc and went back to touching these shrimp. The pandemic still exists - this is how Covid ..and other germs spread‍ Also saw a dim sum container fall inside a cart and they just put the food back in and served it. Can't even imagine what goes on in the kitchen Only service was ok. Pretty neutral - not exceptional but not assholes read more

Horrible. Went there alot previously and gave 2 stars for previous good experience. Went this Sunday to introduce my boyfriend to dimsum, not a great experience. Sat down and no one gave us plates or silverware. Got one glass of water for both of us and never ever refilled not even once. Everything I asked for smthg waiter acted like I was bothering him. I came at 120p and practically no carts going around even though dimsum ends at 3? The one waitor came and tried to push clams and escargot to us. Since we both hated these items we refused, and he huffed and puffed. I felt so uncomfortable. I ordered off menu for dimsum and everything I got was undercooked. Fine I can deal except I got a raw shrimp dumpling. Was gagging and spit it out. I mentioned this to the employee who didn't care or even reply. I'm never going here again and telling every person I know to avoid. Going to any one of their competitors next time for 100% certainty. Worst dimsum experience I ever had. Bummed bc was so excited. read more

So if your in the mood for some overpriced bland Cantonese food then you can come here. We ordered lobster, black pepper steak, soup, pigeon, fish and a conch. everything was bland. Seems like there isn't much of a Cantonese restaurant selection so they can just be mediocre and still survive. $200 for 6 simple dish. Very overpriced. Compared to anywhere in NY. read more

3 Strikes. My review begins in 2008, when I noticed that my glass cup for soda was dirty. I asked for a new cup and the second one looked even worse than the first one.... Uh hello this one is disgusting. I now receive a third cup. It's a plastic solo cup because apparently they are unable to provide a single clean glass cup. Terrible service. 1st strike. Sometime in 2011-12, we paid for the meal with cash and left 18% and they had the nerve to count the cash and tips in front of us before we even started getting ready to leave. Shameful. 2nd strike. Fast forward to today and I am treating my mother and family to a belated Mother's day dinner. Mom picked this place, not me, but I didn't have the heart to tell her I absolutely hate this place. Ordered lobster, shrimp walnut, salt and pepper squid, pork chops, steamed vegetable, sour vegetable and pork and steamed sea bass. The waitress said the fish was big. Great. So then why did we receive a fish the size of a sardine? I sea no food. I mean look at how much empty space is on the plate. On top of that, every dish was beyond bland and lacked any flavor. Barely any pork, I could count on one hand how many pieces of pork was on the plate. Yes exactly 5. At least the service was ok today? $218 later and I'm thinking about what I'm going to eat later... I do Wonder how this place is still in business.. read more

I've been here multiple times on the weekend for dim sum, and they are always packed. This time we stopped by on an early Saturday for dinner and were easily able to get a table even though they had a big birthday party that night. Of note, parking can be really bad here and you may have to park on the road across the street. We had fried tofu with veggies, fried chicken with soy and the waiter recommended clay pot eggplant seafood. The fried chicken and tofu are standard dishes we always get, and they did not disappoint, but the clay pot eggplant with seafood was terrible! The eggplant was old and undercooked and the only seafood in it was some minced shrimp and fake crab in a white sauce. Highly not recommended. When the waiter asked how it came out, we told him our thoughts and he just shrugged, said ok and walked away. Next time, We won't be taking any more of his recommendations!! read more

Completely unprofessional cashier. Straight up refused to give change, and when asked she threw the coins at me and proceeded to yell nasty immoral things. This is not how you treat a customer whether you are the owner or not. In the food there was a whole piece of steel wool, imagine if a child had ingested it. If allowed this place should have zero stars based on the experience I have had. If anyone else had dined here with the same negative experiences write reviews so people know to stay away. Sad that the restaurant has reduced itself to this state considering I have been a patron weekly for 10+ years. read more

Beware of the extra charge for tea, the cashier added the charge on the bill without letting the customer know. Normally if you have dim sum tea lunch, the business sometimes charges for tea, or waive the tea charge, we didn't have dim sum. Another scenario is they encourage you to pay cash, then they don't collect the tax only if you remind them, my experience with them was they charged the whole thing anyway. You have to constantly be aware, the woman behind the cash register is quite greedy. read more

This review is specifically for the traditional Dim Sum experience which is only available on weekends, I'm not able to comment on the regular food. I'm mostly writing this to share an Important tip from my friend who frequents this place often: On a weekend have your group there at least 15 mins before the place opens! Otherwise you'll be waiting at the front of a crowded, loud restaurant. We went on a rainy day (but still listened to her advice) and was amazed how quickly a line had formed before the place had even opened. (Luckily the line was behind us :D). Be assertive & adventurous and don't expect high quality service because frankly that's just how dim sum is. It's best to go with a group to try/split a bunch of different things. My favs are always shumai/dumplings, anything pork or beef related, and the really fresh-looking greens (see pic). I love Chinese egg custards too but I can't remember if they had them this time around. I've been to dim sum spots in NYC and Philly and this one definitely compares! The prices are great too. read more

Having lunch here with friends today. We ordered Dim Sum, Fried Flounder, Squid with veggies and Beef Chow Fun. Quite busy place. Lots of locals are eating with us. New owners, I would assume. Waiters and Serving Staff are wearing uniforms, suit and tie. The Beef Chow Fun taste great. The fried fish flounder is crunchy, you can eat the bones through its crunchiness. The squid with veggies is delicious. The squid was sliced in small pieces and sautéed with the fresh veggies. This review is just an update. I've been here several times before. read more

Came for dinner with my bf and his parents. The meal was ok but what I was most upset by was THE BUG IN OUR SOUP. My bf noticed it halfway through the soup and pointed it out to me and we waved down the waiter. When we told him, he said "oh it's like that, it probably came from the watercress" and completely dismissed the situation. Did not call the manager over, did not refund us for the soup and didn't even apologize again when bringing the food over. WASH YOUR VEGGIES NEXT TIME. Never coming back here again. read more
