“ Wonderful food options! Not your usual chinese restaurant. Lots of interesting options on the menu. We had a terrific meal. Note: we got all of our meals with NO hot spice. Steamed Chicken dumplings were delicous. Classic preparation with a thin outer dough and a good amount of tasty stuffing. Pork Buns equally delicous. Thick outer dough with a generous amount of tasty minced pork stuffing. General Tso's Chicken was another classically prepared meal with very tender chicken and a very generous portion. I think enough for 2 people. Dan Dan Noodles was the only meal I would give a ding to. I found it way too oily and damn if I could find any minced pork. But it did have a nice flavor. Our female server was so very sweet and accommodating. Double checked our order and answered all of our questions. We went on a cold Thursday night and they weren't busy. She was the only one working in the dining room taking calls and serving. She handled it beautifully. Just wish the parking in Ridgewood was easier!!!!! ”
“ Delicious food. Great spot for a large group. Soup dumplings are our favorite. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. ”
“ The food was delicious, the portions were generous and we had a great time. A wonderful, unpretentious, family-friendly restaurant with good service. Will definitely go back ”
“ Came for an early Saturday night dinner to beat the crowds. Everything was delicious, especially the Dan Dan Noodles and the cucumber salad. ”
“ The food was good; however they also had one server who was taking care of all customers and also the cashier, front desk, cleaner, charge of take outs. I truly felt bad for the server. ”
“ As authentic as it gets. Incredible food, friendly staff, and quiet enough for a great date. The soup dumplings are my go-to. ”
“ Went for a weekend lunch after a long time. We arrived exactly at noon when they open, whole place was empty. The condition of the restaurant was little underwhelming, our table was so wobbly we had shove few napkins and chopsticks under it to stabilize it. The menu looked the same from before. We ordered few of our favorite dishes. Crispy duck was so good with the duck sauce. The fish fillet over spicy soup was favorite dish of the night for e. It had the citrus zest and kick of the Sichuan spice. Soup crab dumplings were super tasty as well. Overall it was a wonderful meal for the whole family. I was pleased to see they were able to maintain the taste and quality of their dishes. ”
“ Authentic and legitimate Chinese food. As I mentioned in some of my other reviews, there are a few different types of Chinese restaurants in Northern Jersey. There are Americanized Chinese takeout places. These places are usually small and primarily takeout. Their menus are a white tri-fold with red text. They offer orange chicken, kung pao chicken and beef with broccoli. And sometimes sushi, which isn't even Chinese. There are Korean style Chinese places. They are in Palisades Park or Fort Lee, run by Koreans, speak Korean to you, and offer jajangmun (noodles with a meat sauce). Then there are places like Truly Sichuan. They offer real Chinese food. The place is not perfect - the scallion pancake was overdone, the soup dumplings had thick skin. But overall the food has authentic tastes and spices, and everyone enjoyed it. If the restaurant was a little closer to us, we would definitely come back a lot. ”
