Food (5/5): We ordered the chicken with eggplant and the fatty beef dry hotpot for to go. Both dishes were delicious! I particularly liked the texture of the eggplant and chicken which were tender. I also liked the fatty beef dry pot as the beef absorbed the good flavors. Service (4/5): Helpful and friendly service. We asked to remove the peppercorn in the fatty beef dry hotpot and they were able to. We came later and near closing of 9pm so ordered to go. The food came out reasonably fast. Ambiance (5/5): Nice restaurant interior with plenty of seats that are well spaced out. I like how well lit it is and how there are good ceiling decorations.
The food is fresh and delicious. Best Chinese food in JC. Ordered garlic chicken and chicken with broccoli. It has really good flavor and it's tasty. It's my new favorite spot. And they also follow directions when you order delivery.
The best wontons (wildly good garlic sauce) and Lo Mein I have ever had. Sort of mid scallion pancakes tho.
Simply amazing food. The flavor of the beef with chilli was out of the world. The noodles perfectly cooked. The sauce just perfect. Wish I still stayed in JC to visit more often.
To my fans hoping for a review of an elaborate Valentine's Day excursion, perhaps something involving a Hamptons tasting menu, I must inform you that the holiday was just me at home, with frequent sneezing and an Uber Eats delivery. But the tears were not from loneliness, but rather the brilliant spices of the Chong Qing Style Chicken. The abundant peppers seemed to set the stage for a detente: stick to the chicken and you'll be safe. But the other flavorings crossed over more covertly, so the chicken got spicier as it went along. Near the breaking point, the deus ex machina arrived in the form of the rice, helping to provide a more sustainable fire ratio. Cucumber Salad Country Style wasn't structurally complex but offered an enticing dose of garlic. Ling Long Xuan is definitely in the "more is more" school.
Been eating here for years now. Menu changed but quality is still the same. Please bring back braised pork with preserved cabbage :(((
Finally found the Chinese restaurant for home delivery in JC! (Would also love to stop by the actual restaurant one day!) After trying several spots, thus one meets an exceeds expectations! My kids love Ma po tofu (but can't take it spicy) so this is one of the dishes that I always try to define if the restaurant is good or not. It was delicious!!! We also had the sipcy eggplant and flavours was spot on!
I recently moved into JC JSQ (Dec 2022) and I'm in love with this place. Ordered takeout twice and dined in once. I'm a huge spice lover, everything szechuan and chongqing. I always order their spicy dishes and ask for extra spicy -- I promise it makes the dishes the perfect amount of spicy yummyness if you love spicy mala dishes like me. For lunch special, I've ordered the 12.50 beef with green chili peppers and rice - decent size and asked for extra spicy. Food was fresh upon pickup and hot. Flavor was good and it came with soup. Takeout is always ready on time! For spicy dishes, I highly recommend: - Shui Zhu Yu (水煮鱼) Spicy Fish Fillets - Fu Qi Fei Pian appetizer (夫妻肺片) - Ma La Niu Rou (麻辣肥牛) Numbing Fat Beef Hong You Chao Shou (红油抄手) was good too, though not something I was like "OMG" for. Filling was more than most other places, and dumpling skin was smooth and thin. I also tried the sesame balls with red bean paste inside for dessert and it was really crispy, hot, and fresh when served -- thoroughly enjoyed it during dine in! My fam and I had a nice chat with the waiter/front desk worker and he's fluent in Canto, Mando, and English which is great :). Seems like the owner is from Northern China and the restaurant is under new management as of a month ago. Interior is very new and clean and big, bathroom is also very clean and nice, and restaurant service was great. This would be a nice place to go with family and friends for gatherings! A little more on the pricey side for dishes, but we're in Jersey City, so...sort of expected. As someone who has eaten these dishes in China and HK, as well as other good spots in NJ/NYC, I'd vouch for the authenticity of the food! I'll be back regularly from now on :). (I'll also update my review to include other photos and reviews of other dishes). P.S. they give out $5 cash vouchers to use for dine-in sometimes, with a dine-in meal $30+. Also, there is usually street parking available in front or across the street, max 2 hours and metered parking, free on weekends and holidays :) I'd expect this restaurant to take off once the park is built across the street as well. Perfect location!
