AJ Shanghai Restaurant

I was so disappointed when the Fort Lee location closed, only to move down the street from the Lyndhurst location shortly after! I've loved everything I've eaten here. Don't skip the cucumber and garlic, it's so simple but possibly the best thing on the menu. Soy garlic chicken and sesame chicken are both great, so is the sauteed string beans with pork. Spicy dumplings are also a favorite. It's definitely a more "upscale" Chinese food flavor, not your traditional takeout, but consistently delicious.

The pork belly is to die for and the sesame chicken had such a great crunch. They serve you hot fresh tea.

Ordered take out from here for the very first time. Was ready in 15 mins. Overall score: 4/5. Would return to try other items. Here’s what I go down below with pictures. Crab Meat & Pork Soup Dumpling: 4/5 pretty good. The crab meat is literally only the little bit that on the top, there’s no crab inside. The broth and pork inside is good and flavorful. Only down side I felt like the dumpling wrapper was on the thicker and chewy side. But overall, good Scallion Pancake with Beef: 4/5. pictured is minus two pieces eaten from what was served. Quite good too. Not overly greasy. Nice and crispy. Good ration of pancake to the thin beef. Dumplings in Spicy Sauce: 5/5. Really enjoyed these. The sauce was a nice peanut, Sichuan pepper spicy numbing taste sauce. Taste like the sauce that would be in a Dan Dan noodle dish. Sichuan Spicy Hot Noodle: 2/5. Not really sure what went wrong with this dish. It’s the first time me trying it. I guess the way it was packaged for take out was really overwhelming me. It was PACKED with cilantro and green onion, which I do enjoy, but everything was soo packed together it didn’t look appealing. The broth wasn’t quite flavorful, it lacked depth. There

Shanghai fort Lee was closed, came to give their other location a try. The food was great, had my go to braised pork belly and egg plant 😋😋. The soup dumplings are always great!! Garlic cucumber is refreshing and delicious, the tofu is full of flavor.

Consistently good food. We’ve been here a number of times and we like it more the more we go. Everything we’ve ordered is just well made and has great subtle flavors. This time we got the pork soup dumplings, pork fried rice, sesame chicken, and beef soup. It was all delicious. My favorite was the beef soup which had a wonderful broth that wasn’t oily and you could taste every ingredient. It’s a big space inside with only one person serving tables. Much of the side work, like getting utensils and water are self-serve. There’s plenty of parking outside in their own lot. As well as outdoor seating on a patio. Prices were great too!
