Hui Tou Xiang - East Hanover — Restaurant in East Hanover

I was disappointed by the heavy reliance on pre-packaged ingredients, with very little fresh material used. The dumplings were just average—below my expectations. Overall, I’d rate the food about two stars. The service was even more concerning; our server never checked in, provided no water refills, and when we requested a high chair and spoons for the kids, they simply pointed us in a direction rather than assisting.

Every Xiao Long Bao restaurant I’ve been to from HK, LA, and NY never state it has peanuts. Zha Jiang Noodles barely had any sauce and taste. Portion was quite small. Pan fried pork buns are bad. Very dry, they should be juicy when you bite into them if fresh. Will not...
