Went to a banquet celebration and they put together a wonderful multi-course meal! Every dish was outstanding, especially the Peking duck, the lamb chops, and the pork ribs. The food came fast as well, it was hard to keep up with all the dishes arriving to our table. I left very full and satisfied. As Chinese restaurants go in the area, this is one of the best in terms of style of dishes available and quality. Highly recommend!

Love the dim sum and fried noodles at West Lake. Wish they can serve dim sum everyday! Update - Went to West Lake for dinner this time with a big group of friends last night. All the dishes were so scrumptious and authentic. Great value and good service.

I want to say the food is a lot better now than pre Covid times. Pre Covid times the food was a hit and miss. Some dish would be very good and some would say what the hell is this. Today 1/1/2024 the dim sum and dinner was lot better than before. I noticed when going to dim sum the place is packed as ever before. The prices had gone up a lot and rose many times. This time we got 5 dishes and 4 out of 5 dishes we never tried there before. The shrimp with egg yolk was very unique and first time having it was very good. The spare ribs with plum sauce was excellent. Peking duck was ok not the place for it. The food there is very fresh compared to the other Chinese restaurants in Edison where the ingredients are not fresh. The other reviews that the food is bad I beg the differ. You should make

Amazing food, fast service and friendly staff. This spot turns into dim sum heaven on weekends. Hot tea to go with the meal. Fried flounder is tasty. All in all a perfect spot to get some tasty Chinese food with the wifey on a regular basis. update 2: came here for dim sum on Father’s Day and place was packed. You know its authentic when 90% of the patrons are Asians. Dim sum was fresh, flavorful and well priced. For $45, this is a perfect weekend brunch.
