Our go to Chinese restaurant for over five years. We now live a bit further from the place, but will still come by. Diverse menu and good food.
Only complaint is often the food is served all at once (apps/entrees).
Not bad but nothing to get excited about.They commit no egregious errors .However the food is dull and a bit bland.Won Ton in particular needs a boost.I've only used it for take out and in fairness, it works.
Updated review for the new Fan Bistro. Impressive decor. So many things I wish I can ask them where they get from them like the soy sauce bottle.
Came around 9 on a Thursday night. There were about 10 people. They have the half priced sushi so we ordered a few. Took a while. There were only 2 sushi chefs and I guess everyone else was also ordering sushi.
The maki rolls are on the bigger side, more rice and more fish. They will definitely fill you up. I am not impressed by the rolls though… I think East still offers better sushi in the area.
But the noodle soup is money here. Ordered the duck noodle soup. Came in a big bowl enough for us to share. You can pick from 4 different kinds of noodle and it is 7.95 cheap. The broth is rich and authentic in flavor. The bok choy is fresh tasting and soaked up the good flavor. The duck is tender and reminding me of roast duck from Chinatown. Can't wait to come back for more noodles!
Service is good and cordial. Above average for a Chinese restaurant.
Ordered takeout twice and both times were perfection. Great prices along with great food. The lunch specials come with a side of rice and choice of soup or egg roll. Ordered the sesame chicken lunch special and the chicken itself was enough to fill me up. Big sized portion with a side of rice. Wonton soup was yummy as well. Inside is very nice, will have to dine in one time. Online ordering is a nice convenience. They do have a lot of competition in the area: DIm sum villa and another chinese restaurant up the road. But I say they are doing very well. Friendly and attentive employees.
Our family is in a comfortable rut as regards Chinese take out. For every day take out, we love Hop Hing here in Berkeley Heights. For special occasions, we patronize Meemah in Edison or Cathay 22 in Mountainside. Recently, a steady drumbeat of superlatives on Facebook prompted us to give Fan a try.
We ordered online. Accessing the web site was very difficult. No luck viewing the menu on iPad or iPhone. Had to dust off my wife's Mac. But, we finally placed an order. Ribs, fried dumplings, schezuan wantons, orange beef, coconut curry beef and roast pork fried rice.
Our order was slightly delayed but I was ultimately handed a big bag of treats with a smile and appreciation for coming in.
So how was the food? My son was really looking forward to comparing the ribs to Hop Hing. He advised that these ribs were the clear winner between the two restaurants. He was really pleased. As for the balance of the food, it was pleasant standard fare Chinese. No stand outs. Nothing objectionable. The dumplings and wontons were doughy but the fillings were very tasty. My wife wished her curry dish had more vegetables, I wished my beef was more beefy so to speak. Very thin fried very crisp. Good sauce though. The fried rice was better then Hop Hing. No chunks of carrot which I hate.
I see some more visits in our future and then we'll retreat back to our comfortable rut.
For those of you who haven't been here in a while (or ever), the sit-down restaurant portion is finally open! The configuration of the original restaurant has been changed so it is just a large counter for take-out orders – you enter the restaurant from the parking lot.
The menu has changed very little on the Chinese food end of things, but a decent Japanese/sushi menu has been added. The restaurant has some high-backed booths along the walls along with regular tables through the rest of the space. It's a bit darker than you'd expect from a Chinese restaurant, but the ambiance is quite nice – a little bit more romantic, if you will.
They've barely been open a month, so I'm not going to be too nit-picky with the place. The food was solid, as usual. The pan fried dumplings were out of this world – they definitely don't skimp on the meat like many places do! The Man enjoyed his chicken with broccoli as he usually does, and I was quite satisfied with my beef chow fun. Our entrees were served on standard white china, and everything was quite tidy. The service was prompt and friendly even though the restaurant did start to get crowded while we were there.
