Reviews
Now for my standard comments. Location is small but clean if you want to grab a table or just do takeout. Parking is right out front but it is little tough especially when you have to back out into a busy street.
The lady owner greeted us and immediately advertised their presumably signature dishes: Steamed Cold Noodles (Liangpi 涼皮) $8.99 and Chinese Hamburgers (肉莢膜) $4.99. I normally don’t take recommendations because I am afraid they might be the leftovers restaurants want to get rid of fast, but I relented this time. I only had Liangpi once in my life and I really wanted some verification. And I’ve had their Chinese Hamburgers before and I knew they were decent. In addition, we added Beef with Spicy Green Pepper Over Rice $12.99 which was only advertised on the wall, nowhere to be found on the menu; and the Shrimp Fried Noodle $11.99.
Liangpi: It’s unique, not easy to make, tastes good and refreshing. Vegetarian.
Chinese Hamburger: A safe choice that can please everyone.
Beef with Spicy Green Peppers: Good portion, addictive and most satisfying.
Shrimp Fries Noodle: Forgettable. Not much different from a Chinese takeout anywhere in the US.
One last thing: bring lots of cash! Even though they do take credit cards, they levy hefty surcharges and the lady owner wouldn’t be happy either. She reminded me 3 times but I simply didn’t carry enough cash.
I haven’t found another place around the north-ish NJ area that makes it quite like this with the focus on bean paste, slight mala (tingly) sensation, saucy meat without being overly soupy.
You know that meal that brings back memories, that’s home-y, comforting? That’s what mapo tofu is for me back before I knew about cuisines outside of mom’s home-cooked food.
Here, they serve it piping hot (the way I like most rice dishes!) with plenty of rice. No frills jn the sense that the food didn’t come on ceramics but then this place doesn’t seem meant to be a family dine in.
It’ll help if you speak Chinese/Mandarin but the staff seem fine with at least basic English too.
Parking is a very small, diagonally-lined lot in front off RT-27.
The free soup dumplings offer doesnt work on the website and you can just call for it to get added.
The noodles in the pork cabbage soup are a bit like the instant udon type.
