Very fast service. Love their lobster with sticky rice. Excellent eggplant, chicken and salted fish casserole. Beef with bitter melon. Jellyfish with Chinese ham. Steamed flounder. All so delicious!

First time ordering from this local place. We don’t have anything bad to say about the food, it was quite good. The pricing, however, makes zero sense. I ordered 2 soups, 1 veg Lo Mein a Singapore Mei Fun, and 2 spring rolls. The bill came to over $57. The worst part is I ordered from their online menue and none of the pricing matched my bill. When I called to inquire, I was told the menu pricing is old. The one soup is priced $8.50 online but was told it’s actually $15. Pretty wild.

Happen to try this place for lunch while working in the area. Plus the prices were very very fair. The quality of the ingredients was top notch. The wonton and hot & sour was the best I have ever had. The General Tso’s and Chicken in garlic sauce was amazing. They serve you a pot of green tea as soon as you are seated. Very friendly staff and the restaurant is clean. We will definitely be going back.

Came here on a not too busy Wednesday evening for dinner with my family of 4 ppl as we heard good reviews from a fellow Asian friend of ours in the area. We were not disappointed and enjoyed the authentic Chinese Cantonese dishes we ordered. We had Snails in scallions black bean sauce, Bean Curd with Mixed Mushrooms, Plum sauce Spare ribs, and Jumbo Shrimp (Prawns) w Honey walnuts in a mayonnaise salad sauce. Everything tasted delicious and I enjoyed it very much. Service was excellent and attentive to our needs. Fresh hot Oolong tea was served and staff asked if we needed any rice thus, we were given bowls of white rice to eat with our dishes. In Chinese culture we share the dishes of food together and eat with rice. If you’re looking for some real good Chinese food, then I recommend coming here for dinner. Enjoy!

Amazing food, fast service and friendly staff. This spot turns into dim sum heaven on weekends. Hot tea to go with the meal. Fried flounder is tasty. All in all a perfect spot to get some tasty Chinese food with the wifey on a regular basis.

We come here often and just visited on July 4th for dim sum. As expected, the food was excellent and the service was good. It’s usually always crowded for dim sum, so if you plan on coming for it, come super early (11 am). They also have good a la carte choices (dinner entrees and appetizers) that will fill you up if you’re a bit hungry for lunch. If you’re ever in the area, give this place a try!

Came for dinner , clean bathrooms , adequately spaced tables. Fast service. Authentic Chinese restaurants are hard to find in south Jersey but this was worth the roughly half hour drive for us. Pictures: Yang Zhou fried rice, salt and pepper fried pork chop, salt and pepper fried grouper, braised tofu. We also ordered beef chow fun dry style. All were good. The fried rice could have used a bit more flavor but paired with the other food it was a nice balance. I suppose I would rather it be a bit less salty than overly so. So not complaining

I love coming here with my family and friends, it has a homey feeling and the food is always good. We come at least twice a month during weekends/holidays when they have their authentic dim sum carts. They never disappoint and their service is not too bad. The prices are moderate for the dim sum but if you order from the menu items they may be a little above average however I have never ordered something that was not good. Definitely a place to try…
