  1. A Chinese Restaurant where you can sit down in a clean and nice setting.  Food and tea are delicious.  Get the steamed dumplings and vegetable lo-mein.

  2. Visiting my sister in Millburn, we tried take out from this place. My quick impression based on what we ate tonight is that this is a perfectly reasonable local restaurant, but there wasn't anything that jumped out at me as special.

    House Special Wonton Soup – Good flavor, nice assortment of vegetables. The wontons have a rather thick noodle so I found them to be a little imbalanced (too much noodle, not enough meat.)

    Fish with Ginger & Scallions – This was the best dish we ordered. Lightly fried fish with tons of aromatics.

    Mixed Vegetables in White Sauce – It's not exciting, but sometimes you want a dish with lots of vegetables. This really fit the bill. Assorted vegetables, all cooked just right so that they're cooked but not mushy, and a light sauce that adds flavor without covering up the natural taste of the veg.

    Sesame Chicken – Thin slices of chicken in a much lighter batter than most other preparations I've had. This was pretty good.

    Pepper Pork Loin – When putting together this order, I wanted to make sure I got something with some heat, so I perused the menu for one of their spicy items and settled on this. Wow, was I disappointed. Not even a trace of spiciness. Was there supposed to be a sauce on this that they forgot? Battered and fried pieces of pork with onions and some other aromatics, but zero heat and not much flavor either. Seriously, there was no hint of pepper, so maybe they did forget the sauce?

    Roast Pork Lo Mein – Nice preparation. Not oily, the right ratio of pork to noodles. Solid.

    Beef Chow Fun – Another good noodle dish.

    So overall, it was a good experience. Mostly solid dishes, with one above average and one that was a huge miss. Good enough to try again, certainly, although not an immediate favorite.
