Aquarius Seafood Restaurant

I have been here on multiple occasions for weekend dim-sum and family dinners. Aquarius has slowly become our family's go-to restaurant for large gathering and celebrations. Their seafood entrees like the steamed fish and lobster sautéed with scallions and gingers are their signature specialties. But they also excel at other popular Cantonese and Chinese dishes such as Peking duck and claypot eggplant with salted fish. On weekends, their full-fledged dim sum menu is probably one of the best in Northern Jersey. To eat in true Cantonese fashion, most dishes should be shared and the atmosphere is typically very festive. Weekend mornings are the busiest times for the restaurant and wait time could be hours.

Likeable staff.
Tasty Cantonese cuisine this side of the Hudson River. No need to hit traffic, parking or tolls. Naturally priced higher.
Clean restroom.
I believe they did not renew their liquor license, so they only serve wine and beer.

Dropped in by myself after a super-long day and sat at the bar. Super lucky find. Friendly staff, amazing oysters. The scallops and pork belly blew my mind. Highly recommended!

Fantastic dim sum. We live just right across the bridge in Washington Heights and this place is the perfect quick go to for high quality dim sum. Great prices and service too!

Food is good. It might be an advantage if you speak Chinese. Place is always packed but there's free valet parking that's owned by the restaurant that's good for 2 hours then $10 for every half hour after 2 hours. Since it's always packed, you might have to share a table with someone.
