Shanghai Noodle House - Edison

Decent service and delicious dishes. Not many employees so if it got a little busy, there was one server trying to help out everyone. But still! Everything got to us in one very yummy piece. The interior is clean but very hot since they didn’t have any air conditioning on. The food was perfect. I mostly recommend the rice boxes because it comes with so much. I tried the Fish filet with bean pepper sauce. It came with the fish, sautéed string beans and cabbage, white rice, and a boiled tea egg. Their soup dumplings look to be freshly made and they’re quite tasty. Their pork and chives buns are also very well made. One hundred percent recommend that you try one or the other. Or both! Last of all, we tried the Shanghai rice cakes. Sautéed with a nice and tame sauce. The rice cakes were nice and bouncy. Now time for my typical COVID comments as of September 2021. Every staff member I saw in there was wearing a mask. They keep the tables evenly distanced and the server is always wearing a mask. Felt like a very safe environment during these times.

The rice platters are relatively cheap and have huge portions. The pan fried dumplings are so delicious.

Everything is fresh and homemade. especially if you get soup noodles, you get a HUGE bowl for less than $10. all their dishes are authentic and very delicious. i highly recommend trying the scallion pancakes, soup noodles, and a vegetable dish. and if you want a really authentic touch, they also have stinky tofu!

The dough was too thick. Gizzard was too hard to chew. Our crab and pork soup buns had no soup because the skin was broken and soup was leaked. We couldn't taste the crab in the buns. Owner insisted there was crab meat in it. This restaurant used to be better.

Ate here for dinner on Monday, November 7, 2022. This place was a phenomenal Chinese restaurant a few years back with extremely tasty food and friendly customer service. However, this place has gone down. As we entered, we noticed only one gal running the front show (cashier and waitress). When we said a party of three her reply was Cash Only . There was no hello or any type of welcome greeting. Very cold. We even had to sit ourselves. It took some time before the waitress came to our table to take our order. There was a bottle of warm water on the table and when I asked for ice, the waitress response was we do not have ice in a snotty manner. We ordered the pork buns, won ton soup, beef noodle soup, Peking style pork shops and fried rice. The food was blah and definitely not the same as in the past. Missing flavor. When I asked for a knife to cut the Peking style pork chops, the waitress gave me an extremely dull butter knife. When I asked for a sharper knife, she gave me a plastic one. I have to say that I have never been to a restaurant where they use plastic utensils along with nice plates. A big turn off for a dining experience. Will I be back? Hell no. Let me say that again...HELL NO. Not only will I NOT Return, I will let all my peeps know not to waste their hard earned money at this place. Food is mediocre and service is horrendous. Avoid this place.
