Authentic Chinese family restaurant, atmosphere included(that’s how you know it’s legit); the beer chicken was just like the kind I had growing up, they have chinese sodas/drinks, tea; the flat noodles, soup dumplings, everything we had was amazing.

Food was great but seems we were ignored a bit until other groups left. Took almost 20 minutes for them to pay attention to us and take our order. We had to grab our own menus and just sit patiently and wait.

Ordered take out from Shanghai Bun for the first time. Great place for authentic casual Chinese food. Very efficient! Next time will try dining in. Highly recommend their steamed pork dumplings.

From a food and price perspective, this place is hard to beat. Big portions of tasty and cheap food. The spicy beef noodle soup had flavorful broth and really good beef. The lo mein was super tasty as well as the mini wonton soup. We also got the soup dumplings, which are always delicious. If you’re there to dine in, you check off on the menu what you want and can grab your own drinks. The place was crazy busy for a Monday and now I know why!

Best place to go for authentic Chinese food in the area. No other place compares until you get to Edison or Princeton. Food is fantastic and cooked wonderfully every time. Most people typically take out since there is little seating and underwhelming atmosphere inside. Despite this, it is still the best you can get.

Talk about a hole in a wall. BUT that’s where u usually find the good places. Don’t expect 5 star services here as they are not nor do they advertise to be. Some of the reviews are a bit obnoxious but they can’t please everyone all the times. It’s more of a local place and the locals get it. Get seated grab their menu from the counter. Circle what you want and give back to the counter. You could wait for the wait service to come and pick it up from you too. The specials are on the wall in English and Chinese so don’t worry. Same for the menu.

Absolutely love this place. The soup dumplings are amazing. We usually get 2 orders of soup dumplings along with an order of salt and pepper pork chops and it’s the perfect balance. We’ve been going here for awhile and they seemed to recently purchase custom chops sticks, plates, and tea cups which may be small but makes me know they take pride in their product. Food has also increased in quality and if they’re reading this I just want to say I appreciate your hard work. Keep up the great work!

I love this restaurant’s food, it’s really good. I’m not fond of very spicy Chinese food, this restaurant provide mild flavor as well as spicy option. Shanghai fried rice is good option to order, and if you like salty sweet flavor, you can order eggplant with garlic sauce. Soup dumpling was ok. I’ll try different dishes next time.

We usually come here for the Shanghai soup dumplings and noodle soup, which are pretty solid choices. This time we got the celery beef, 3 cup chicken, and fried rice. It was ok, but didn’t really hit the spot. The celery beef was mostly celery, the 3 cup chicken was overcooked, and the fried rice was a little bland.
