When we leave, a male waiter physically blocked the exit, trapping us inside the restaurant. He aggressively demanded a higher tip, yelling that their minimum tip requirement is 15%. When we refused to comply with this forced fee, he resorted to severe verbal aggression, screaming at us and yelling that we should never come back. Having lived in the US for 20 years, I have never experienced such unsafe, lawless behavior over a tipping dispute. Stay away! Any they delete my Google review.

Better than a lot of places in Flushing & Chinatown and even the San Gabriel Valley in CA! Highly recommend the Salt & Pepper Grouper. It's deep fried and has the same seasoning as the popular Fried Squid with Salt & Pepper, but better! The fish is much more tender than squid. The batter is crispy and not oily at all. Also delicious was the Shrimp with Black Bean Sauce. Not on the menu. Will definitely be coming back in the future to try their other dishes and dim sum as well.

3-Star Review - Pink Lotus Cantonese, Metuchen, NJ…read more Stopped by Pink Lotus Cantonese Restaurant in Metuchen around 10 PM when not many other places were open, so the location was definitely convenient--right next to lots of shops. The space is nice with good seating and a clean, comfortable setup. Tried the stir-fried chili tofu, brown rice, and noodles. The noodles were the best part--flavorful and well-cooked. Unfortunately, the tofu was quite average with not much taste, and the brown rice was a bit too dry for our liking. Parking is tough around this place .. paid parking mostly . Overall, a decent late-night option if you're nearby, but the flavors could use a boost.

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 sauce had just enough numbing warmth without overpowering the dish, and every bite was incredibly satisfying. The texture combination of silky wrappers and bold sauce made it an unforgettable starter. Beyond the appetizer, the restaurant offered a warm atmosphere and attentive service that made the dining experience even better. The presentation was thoughtful, portions were generous, and the flavors tasted authentic and carefully prepared. If you enjoy dishes with a little spice and a lot of flavor, the wontons in chili oil are absolutely worth ordering. I would definitely come back just for them.

When it comes to food, I never judge a burger by its bun, so thanks to Yelp for helping me find it. The sign in the window says "Asian fusion" which usually sends me running as it's often a cop-out label for bad mixed-up Asian cooking, but this is authentic y'all, meaning true-to-tradition dishes with a sometimes more contemporary application of ingredients or flavors. The "fusion" part must come from the fact that they have a small Taiwanese section as well as the main Szechuan/Sichuan menu, alongside a few familiar Chinese-American favorites like sesame chicken or broccoli x protein, so you can get that here too. Everything we ordered was phenomenal! Great flavors, generous portions, cooked with confidence and finesse. Compliments to the kitchen - they really know what they're doing. Not a single dish was lacking. They even put out peanuts at the start and serve fresh orange slices at the end of the meal. Very old school. We loved it all: * Salt & white pepper crispy chicken ("Taiwanese specialty") - well-battered and flavored, and perfectly crispy * Taiwanese minced pork rice * Chicken red curry - fabulous, with fresh vegetables and just the right balance of spice * Golden dish (fish) - very special dish in a salted duck egg yolk batter * Beef chow fun * Marinated crispy duck Wish I lived closer, but will definitely come back when we are in the area. Best of the best - very highly recommended!

I used to frequent this restaurant before moving to PA. It used to be known simply as "West Lake."…read moreI am not sure when or why "Plum House" was added to the signage. For me, this is the go-to restaurant for Cantonese cuisine due to its variety, authenticity, and menu choices. Aside from weekend dim sum, my go-to dish was the chicken pan-fried noodles. I met up with my old colleagues a few weeks ago when I was in the area. I was glad to be able to visit this restaurant again; our original choice was closed on Tuesdays, like many others. Braised Eggplant & Chicken with Salted Fish ($25): A uniquely authentic Hong Kong dish that I rarely get to try. Delicious. I would definitely order it again. Lufa & Fresh Tofu Skin in Chicken Sauce ($22): The tofu skin was a bit tough to chew, but this is another dish that is not commonly available in standard Chinese restaurants. Beef with String Bean ($21): On point. Dry Beef Chow Fun ($20): This is a common dish found in most Chinese restaurants. It was a bit lacking in flavor, but the texture of the chow fun was perfectly rendered. Pork Chop with Salt & Pepper ($19) Another classic fare. Crispy and tasty, with jalapeños to boot. Unlimited complimentary tea was served, and the staff was attentive and friendly. Decors and ambiance were good for any occasion. It was an excellent evening spent at West Lake Plum House.

THE FOOD ----------------…read more+ Very good dim sum all around. ++++ Shrimp dumplings, pork dumplings, chicken feet, pork ribs, sticky rice, mini egg custard tarts, baked roast pork buns, spring rolls, shrimp rice rolls, shrimp and chive dumplings were all excellent. + Variety of dim sum available was comparable to what I would find at most authentic dim sum restaurants anywhere in NYC. + Non-dim sum/Regular menu consist of typical Cantonese-style food/entrees that you will find at authentic Chinese restaurants - seafood entrees, noodles, fried rice, casseroles, etc. THE SERVICE ------------------- + Dim sum push carts go around with dim sum here, which is my preferred way of having dim sum at restaurants. Ask for or point to what you want and the push cart ladies will mark your dim sum card. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + 2 connected dining rooms inside with about the same amount of seating in both. Not a huge restaurant, but ample seating though. + Private parking lot in the front and back of the restaurant. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Came by on Labor Day around 12:15 PM and it was expectedly busy inside, however, we were seated immediately. There was constant turnover inside, so there were never any parties waiting, but most tables were occupied.
