Eating Dinner in Menlo Park

[ALANBF]

It's a half way point to meet friends for dinner. Any suggestions other than in mall or chain?

Is authentic Indian food an option for youz?

[byarvin]

Or...

What about high-end Chinese? Grand Shanghai is a couple of miles south on Route 1.

Menlo Park is in Edison and not far from all sorts of great Asian stuff.

Not so big on Indian. Chinese sounds good. Thamks.

If your hankering to eat large quantities of pretty good Jewish deli, there's Harold's at Raritan Center.

I've always had good meals at an Italian restaurant on Rt. 27 in Iselin, very close to the mall called Casa Giuseppe. It's high end Italian with good food and good service!

Grand Shanghai is on Route 1 on the northbound side, a few miles south of the mall.

The have serious Shanghai style cuisine and a comfortable dining room too.

Mie Thai, on Main St in Woodbridge (about 5-10 minutes from the Menlo Park mall), does great Thai food.

hands down our fave is lou cas, fine italian, byo, reasonably priced, large portions and around the corner from the mall

I'm not a fan of LouCas when meeting friends, as the tables are ridiculously close together and its hard to have a social meal with your dining companions. I would second the suggestion of Mie Thai in Woodbridge. There are a few restaurants on Main Street in Metuchen, just south of Menlo Park and right off of Route 1. On a nice night, its also a good area to visit one of the cafes with outdoor seating for coffee/espesso and dessert.
