Recommendations - bulgulgi and kalbi (two different types of premarinated beef, sliced into thin pieces, quite delicious), and the bibimbap (Korean style mixed rice - a bunch of stuff including veggies and eggs that you mix yourself in a hot stone pot). They start with a bunch (and I mean alot, like maybe 10) small preserved veggies and tastings, quite unnecessary most were pretty weird. The Kimchi was good though.

While the service is excellent for this authentic KBBQ buffet restaurant, the price is high, and the food is so-so. You can go to a Chinese Buffet place, pay one third of the price, and get three times the selection. Also, there are literally no dessert to choice from besides a few favorite of ice cream. The ice cream is very good which I must admit.

Delhi Garden is take-out only. We've only ordered from there twice but we're very satisfied. The food was fresh and compared well with the quality of the Indian restaurants we've experienced. The service was very good; the food was ready when promised and they were helpful with our ordering answering all our questions.

7. Pad Thai INC

I must say this is one of the best Thai restaurants near me. The pad Thai is always delicious with great flavors. The spring rolls are always fried to the right temerature and always taste perfect. The atmosphere is very nice as well, nothing special, but acceptable for a Thai restaurant. The reason it loses a dot, is because service needs to really improve. Sometimes, the order gets wrong, and the owner sometimes freaks out at me when I tell him or her this. Other, than that AMAZING! If you have not had Thai food try this place. You are going to love it.

Three of us shared the edamame, the fried chicken which was delicious and a crab with seaweed and wasabi sauce dish that was extraordinary. Then we each had sushi which was good but standard. Atmosphere was nice with large booths that are private and small tables that are sort of out in the open area.

This place serves the absolutely best Xiaolong Bun in Jersey. The restaurant is essentially a whole-in-the-wall and always very crowded. Expect to wait for 30 minutes, even at some odd hours.My kids like it very much and we think the food is delicious enough worth of waiting for.

Reviewed By BruinsFanNJ
This hot pot restaurant is very popular on the weekends. Some weeknights this restaurant is also full. The best time to go is for their lunch special Monday through Friday before 3 PM for $10.95. Not only it is economical but less crowded. The last time we went was for lunch on a Sunday afternoon and there was no wait. I prefer the spicy soup base but the rest of the family stick with the regular. I personally think the regular broth is too salty but the spicy one is just right. It came with tons of chilis and other spices. Very aromatic and tasty. I suspect they use a fair amount of MSG as well.If you order one meat, one veggie, one meatball and wonton per person, expect to spend at least $25 per person without drinks and tax/tip. We have not been able to spend less than $30 per person when all is said and done. Quite pricey for the amount of meat that you get. Seafood is even more expensive. We have tried just about every meat that they offer including beef Angus, fatty beef, variety cuts of lamb, free range chicken, and their seafood. We have tried the vegetable combo platter but prefers to stick with broccoli, Napa cabbage, and bok choy. Beware that the vegetables and the meat shrink when you cook them. The meat is sliced very thin so they cook really fast in the boiling soup. The food has been consistently very good (broth and The freshness of the meat and vegetable). Service is very good also. The wait can be long on certain nights. You can wait until your turn or try other restaurants in the complex. No reservation for party of less than six. It is always a fun place to eat with the family but be prepared to spend a lot of money. As I mentioned in the beginning, the best time to go it's on weekdays and order their lunch special. Now that's what I call a great deal.

Since Midori opened a branch location north of Princeton, we had not been back in some time. But it is great to report that the sushi, maki rolls and service are still very good. The only time you will have no waiting on a Saturday night is in the summer when Rutgers is break and many regulars are on vacation. Rest of the year, reservations are suggested Friday and Saturday's.There is plenty of street parking and a couple of town lots nearby. Midori is BYOB with Pino's wine shop a couple of blocks away.

The sushi/sashimi platters are overpriced, have low quality fish (tuna looks like watermelon and salmon tastes like nothing and is almost colorless) and there's no rice/salad/soup. On a 14 piece sashimi platter it was salmon, tuna, "white tuna" and some fake crab thing for $30! The tempura salmon roll was fully cooked and tastes like canned tuna. When I called to complain and asked for a credit, they argued with me after telling me they would credit me!
