AJ Shanghai Restaurant

This is one of my favorite Chinese restaurant.

I am Chinese who spent 70% of my life in China and the rest 30% in the U.S. Unlike most of the "Chinese food" in the U.S., this is the real Chinese food always make me remember my childhood.

The music they played are classic Chinese music from 80s' and 90s'. The service is awesome all the time and the environment is always clean.

The salt & pepper shrimp, the chili fried chicken, and the crab dumplings are my favorite dishes.

Excellent food and friendly staff a definite must go for soup dumplings…they also have a sister location in Fort Lee that I frequent a couple times a week!

Rian was our waiter, a nice guy.. ordered mapo tofu and Shanghai beef noodles.. the mapo tofu was the better choice.. not as spicy and tasted good.. oolong tea was a plus.. I recommend coming for lunch for the specials.. overall I had a good experience.. I would recommend trying if your in the area..

So excited to see an authentic Chinese restaurant opened here. We went to have a small party there, ordered most of their recommendations. Food was amazing, each one was well cooked! Soup dumping was the best I’ve ever had in this region. All of my picky foodies were satisfied. They have plenty of tables, an excellent place for family gatherings. Strongly recommend it for the people who want to experience real Chinese taste.

Delicious!!! A more traditional Chinese menu. Had the cabbage, string beans, mapo tofu, udon, fried dumplings. Everything was great. I particularly loved the tofu and the string beans but everything was top notch.

Wonderful new addition to the town!

We got takeout and my photos don't do the food justice, but what can you do.
