The best place to take a date, I celebrated my twp year anniversary with my girl and we had a blast. The food is amazing, we had noodles, lamb chops and alot of sushi. The sushi chefs outdid themselves with the quality of the rice and fish. The service was top notch, Raymond should be promoted immediately. He made our nigh extra special, and made us feel like we were royalty. 10/10 the best restaurant in the area!

Ehhh. I tried to give this place a try but I doubt I’d come back. It is extremely overpriced. The appetizers were frozen, stuff you can find in Walmart. The orange chicken was good but $20 for no sides? And you can’t order a side of fried rice, only a large portion for $15. It’s so tight in there. The drinks were good and strong. The calamari was ATROCIOUS. Told the waitress I’d like to send it back and get something else instead, she literally sat and went back and forth with me asking me what I didn’t like about it. I just kept it.

Look, I’m a man who appreciates a bit of mystery—like how tea tastes so much like hot brown water yet remains a national treasure—but walking into Mon Jin Lau felt a bit like trying to find a contact lens in a movie theater during the previews.
It’s dark, folks. We’re talking “casing shadows about” dark. The only thing fighting back the gloom were these tiny table lights that were doing their absolute level best, but they barely gave the menu a fighting chance. Add in a temperature that was on the slight chilly side, and I felt less like I was out for dinner and more like I was a character in a moody spy novel waiting for a handoff.
The Starting Lineup
If there’s one thing coach and I agree on, it’s that a strong start can save a game. And boy, did the appetizers show up to play.
The Shrimp & Scallops: These were the absolute bright spots of the evening. If the rest of the meal had this kind of hustle, we’d be looking at a championship season. Fresh, flavorful, and they actually knew their way around a seasoning rack.
The Main Event
Then came the Mongolian Chicken. Now, it looked the part—dressed up and ready for the gala—but the taste just didn’t have that “believe” spirit. It was, to be honest, a bit unimpressive. It’s like a striker who has all the fancy footwork but can’t quite find the back of the net. It wasn’t bad, mind you; it just didn’t make me want to stand up and cheer.
The Final Whistle
At the end of the day, Mon Jin Lau is like a pre-season friendly in a cold stadium. I’m glad I showed up to see what the fuss was about, and I enjoyed those appetizers enough to give ’em a high-five, but I’m not in a rush to return for a rematch.
It’s a solid “try it once” experience. But for now, I think I’ll head back to where the lights are bright and the chicken has a bit more heart.
Final Verdict: A bit too much shadow, not enough soul.

Was in tonight for the first time. My experience was beyond excellent. My waitress Kaitlyn was great from start to finish. I love Sea Bass, she told me their Chilean Sea Bass was excellent and was she spot on. My friend got the Sizzling Hong Kong Filet and it was a 10/10 in my friends book. Kaitlyn made us feel welcomed and her knowledge of the menu was very helpful for our first time. We’ll be back again, she has some new regulars now!

Last night I had a birthday dinner and it was my first time coming there. I loved the atmosphere of the restaurant but the service that you guys provided me and my guest was horrible!!! The waiter barely came back my egg rolls had no shrimp. Half of our plates came late to the table, so some of us were eating and others weren’t. On top of that one out of guest crab cakes were so burnt you could see and taste it. After asking for another one the manager(older gentleman) had the nerve to come out and say, “you can have something else but we’re not making another one because that was cooked to perfection and there not burnt with a direct attitude” when everybody looking clear as day and see those damn crab cakes were burnt on the top of that, when asked why not? you had the nerve to repeat what you said. Let me tell you something I worked in fine dine restaurants for many years I’m pretty sure I know that’s how crab cakes are suppose to come out and taste, and I know how service should be given and that’s not how you give service and that’s not how you talk to people . How dare you tell somebody something like that knowing you’re in the wrong, on top of that when I asked for the head chef instead I was told, unless you know how speak Chinese that’s not possible. So make that make sense how are you and everybody else communicating with him if there’s a language barrier. SMH you just didn’t want to make another one, gave poor service, gave everyone a hard time and pissed us all off, especially for me because it was my birthday. Everyone sushi platters weren’t event platted well. Very sloppy work. Seating was jammed tight in a corner, we barely had any leg room. Also my sushi was pretty decent but I should’ve had my own plate, instead I’m sharing a plate with somebody but everybody else had there own individual plates!!!! Worst experience ever I’m not coming back thanks for ruining my birthday experience.

So I got the vegetable Lo mein without the bean paste. I’m missing like four ingredients in this!
I’m missing the red bell peppers, the onions, the bean sprouts and the carrots.
I specifically bought this dish because I was craving vegetables and I’m missing half the dishes ingredients. Very disappointed.
Also adding this a few minutes later, but some of noodles are burnt too…

Had a Christmas Eve dinner here with my family last night. It was MY first time (others in my family had been before) and I will definitely be back! The service was great, our waitress was excellent…very helpful and knowledgeable when we had some questions. The food came out quickly and was DELICIOUS. Everything was so fresh, flavorful, vibrant and portions were perfect. I’ll be back soon!

I had a super good experience sitting at the bar. This place has cool vibes. I had a Thai Basil drink that was delicious and the Chin Chin noodles dish. It was so good!!!

Mon Jin Lau in the USA is a highly favored restaurant, especially among foodies.
My husband and I had a couple’s date there with one of his friends. I really liked the atmosphere — it’s unique, not too traditional nor too modern, but cozy with a harmonious blend of contemporary art reflecting both Chinese and American cultures.
The food is quite delicious; the sashimi sushi is incredibly fresh, and the tuna is rich and meaty.
My Szechwan crispy beef was a little bit salty to me, I wish there was a bowl of rice or noodle with it will balance the flavor better.
If you’re looking for a great spot for a romantic date, this would be my top choice.
It was just an odd that the server at the time seems a little bit impatient to us…
In general, I will definitely come back here with my husband!

I was sooooo traumatized and devastated to find out they recycle their dipping sauces. We witness our waitress take dipping sauce from the table to the left of us and give it to the table to the right of us. Knowing we had the same dipping on our table(so it was taken from someone else’s table and given to us). Before I had waited what she did, I had eaten from the spoon that came in the dipping sauces. When I asked her why she would do that, her response was “that’s what we do here”. I had advised her not to give our dipping sauces to anyone, bcuz I had put my mouth on the spoon and put it back inside the dipping sauce.(I’m not an unclean person, I just care about ofter people) Which im not convinced she even cared and still did it anything. That confirmed me not ever returning or recommending this place to anyone. I can’t even imagine what’s going on in their kitchen. They are a lawsuit waiting to happen.
