This Jersey City branch disappoints both in service & cuisine.

The food is oily and heavy on chilis and the dishes tend to blend one into another

both in appearance and taste. Entrees are served in small bowls, without garnishes. Also, no rice is offered w. entrees [Jasmine rice $4]. The Singapore noodles, while yellow in color, lack any curry [or other taste]. We ordered them w. chicken but they arrived w. veggies. When we pointed this out to the waitress, she stirred the bowl to peek under the noodles...took it back to the kitchen..and about 5 thin chicken strips were added on top.

My husband ordered a gin [standard] gibson martini, "straight up" .The waitress took the order and repeated it...then returned to ask about the gin and repeated the order agin. She then brought a small, short glass with gin, no ice. When he repeated martini, she remained insistent that he asked for it straight up!...so no gracious servic ehere either. So he went to the bar and instructed the bartender [also inept] on how to make it. When it came to the onion garnish, they went into the kitchen and brought out 2 slices of raw onion!

This restaurant is significantly over priced for its service and cuisine and we will not be returning.
