Chuan Xiang Spicy Cuisine 川湘阁 — Restaurant in Newark

You're going to roll up to this place, and wonder what you're walking into. But trust me, this restaurant is fantastic. Decor is all new, clean, great noise management where you can talk but it's not silent.

Food is A+, we got the Pickled Cabbage and Fish and the Chili Chicken Wings. Both are a little less spicy than what you'd get at other places, but also means they need WAY less salt to cut the oil and spice. Comes off as more of a comfort, warming meal instead of a "burning in, burning out", sort of meal.

Service is fast, easy, and menu is super clear. Seats are really well arranged and comfortable. The windows are tinted one way so you don't feel like every car and passerby is staring at your meal.

Really looking forward to coming again. Great job...

Our server was super attentive, explained all the best dishes and recommendations, and went above and beyond to make sure we loved our experience. In more authentic restaurants that can tend to be overlooked, but this was a...

I had an unfortunate experience at Chuan Xiang Spicy Cuisine. After clearly discussing my preferences and confirming that the dish could be prepared accordingly, what I received was completely different.

This response was both unprofessional and disrespectful. Future customers should be wary, as there seems to be a gap between what is promised and what is delivered. I expected better service, especially when the error was clearly on their part. I hope the restaurant takes this feedback seriously and improves its...
