This is for the one near C-124. Do customers look invisible to them? And the phrase "customer service" doesn't exist in their dictionary or their training manual?
One of the worst customer service and customer experience ever. These people are slow, rude and some ego s@&$ going on that they just don't treat customers like they should.
I miss the Asian Chaos that used to be here and it was a piss poor job for Newark airport to let some company monopolize the entire restaurant biz here.
I got the dim sum sampler, three dim sum items for $11. Individually, these three would have been about 15-16. I'm ok with overpriced things at airports as long as it's actually good. This was not.
Act 1: shumai Four tiny pale nickel sized cylinders of shrimp.
Act 2: wings Six skinny oversauced chicken wings.
Act 3: pork egg rolls The standout of the bunch. Pork and cabbage enclosed in crispy dough.
For overpriced airport food it wasn't bad. I got the chicken lo mein, which didn't feel as heavy as it does if you order it from any old Chinese joint, so that was a plus. It also had some kick to it as well, which I wasn't expecting.
However the service is SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW. Three people had to be refunded in the time we were waiting for our food because their flights were having their final calls for boarding. I suppose it's not the worst thing in the world that it took them a while to cook the food since one can only hope that means it's made fresh to order and not rotting under a heat lamp for a while. Just be warned, if you want to grab food 20 minutes before departure you might want to skip this place. If you have an hour to kill, you'll be fine.
Really cute restaurant facade but super mediocre food.
The appearance of this restaurant is really appealing…it has a super cute Asian flair and is even more appealing with the melange of Asian snacks lining the counters as you order.
The menu is simple enough and you'd hope with the limited number of items, they'd get there offerings right. But it's pretty on par with what you'd expect to get at an airport…sub-par tasting food that'll satiate your hunger but will leave you questioning your decision (should I have gotten that burger next door instead?).
I ordered the lo mein with chicken and my bf got the general tsos chicken. The lo mein was really bland and the General tsos was seasoned just not the way general tsos should be.
We'll probably try other options if we end up back at this airport.

There was no one in line which is always a bad sign but after watching the netflix documentary on General Tso's chicken I wanted to try this famous dish $13. You are suppose to order at the Ipad and not at the cashier. Then once you order, you bring your ticket to the cashier to close out. It would seem like more efficient to both order and pay at either the ipad or the cashier, but whatever. The food was mediocre. There was plenty of undercooked rice and chicken. The chicken was not cooked fresh. Some pieces were soggy and some were too crispy. The meat itself was tender and juicy. The Sauce was actually spicy but lacked sweet and sesame. The broccoli was not very plentiful but was pretty tasty. Overall, this is a skip on the NJ airport food circuit.

I should have ordered the rice bowl.
