Best Chinese food I've ever had. Ordered take-out & couldn't believe how good the pepper steak & General Tso's was. I can't wait to try something a little more complex & their dim sum!

Even though I don't live that far from NYC, it still isn't the most convenient place to have to trek to when I'm in the mood for Dim Sum. Luckily there are a few places in the area that would take care of my craving, West Lake being one of them.My bf and I came here one weekend for their Dim Sum. The strip mall that West Lake lies in is a very busy one so it might be hard to find parking up front, but they have more parking in the back. We arrived around 12:30 PM and even though the place was packed, we were seated immediately. West Lake looks like your typical Chinese food place with their decorations and set up. The tables are very tightly packed so if you're claustrophobic, you might have a problem. We didn't order anything off the menu and just stuck to the dishes being offered on the carts being wheeled around. The staff does a pretty good job of making sure they get to everybody. We ordered a bunch of dishes. Overall, nothing stands out. The food is okay. Not as fresh as in Chinatown, but we're in Matawan so what do you expect. Still good enough to satisfy my Dim Sum cravings.

Worst dining experience of my life. Can't imagine anyone other than friends/relatives giving this a good review. Watch dead fish in tank while you eat, the Manger was rude when I called for a reservation, it is too loud & the lights are too ...?

This restaurant is known for its Cantonese style of cooking. Simply the fact that their foods are so fresh and taste so great has brought me to the restaurant countless times. On par with the food quality is also the restaurant's atmosphere; ...?

on a par, as good, or better than the very best the City offers. Try the fresh Dungeness crab with garlic sauce and chow fun, the pepper squid, razor clams in black bean sauce or the lobster right from the tank and cooked to your liking. ...?

in China Town. I want to go with a large group so I can try many more things. They also have a great take out menu with really different selections. I often stop on the way home from work to pick dinner. My only wish is that they offer brown rice. ...?
