Andrew Hernandez
Enjoyed a nice dinner here with family. I would highly recommend the Spicy Diced Szechuan Chicken, Szechuan Fish Filet, and the string beans! Everything we ordered was fresh and tasty. Definitely check this place out if you want some authentic Chinese food!

Very good Chinese in Plainsboro, NJ, recommend it. Fish filet with Szechwan sauce is excellent, Kung Pao Chicken, another favorite of mine, or ask the lady to make something custom! You will come out a happy camper.

Very interesting environment. The waiters/waitresses are nice but may come out as rude. Food is good if you order the right dish, which our waitress kindly suggested. This place should be above 4 for sure

Hot and sour soup was good but the fried chicken wings and crispy shrimp/scallops were very small in portion size. The batter on the shrimp was also not cooked, it was still powdery/white in a few spots.

A pretty standard Chinese restaurant. Authentic Chinese dishes are delicious and well priced, and it’s a great place to eat for large groups. ‘American’ Chinese food there is pretty mediocre however. Staff are really attentive with water refills and such. This is the place to go if you’re looking for authentic Chinese food and I recommend it for that.

No Frills is accurate. However my food was hot full of flavor and the staff on my visit was kind and very attentive. Dumplings (being picky here) had a bit of a pan taste just a step away from being left on too long. I would dine in again.

Tucked in the strip so easy to miss but so very good. The best vegetable lo mein I’ve had in a long time the mushrooms were so fresh. The chicken dishes we got were super crispy.

Food was ok. Service was good. Sweet and sour pork had a lot of onions. We also had ice cream at the end. Ordered the dinner combination for $13.99.
