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.

I have been coming here for the past 5 years. The food is amazing and the manager is extremely friendly. Every night they have a special called "three dishes, 1 soup" and its very traditional cantonese food that reminds me of hong kong. they ...?

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. ...?
