This place is my favored. I visit plenty of restaurants but to this place I constantly return again and again. The crew is very cordial and the food they serve is so tasty. I am always happy to have a nice meal in this place. I highly recommend this place.

I love Gem Bistro. It is my favorite place in the world. I went there with my good men Nolan and Johnny, and we had a favorable experience.I started off my meal with the Seaweed Cold Appetizer. It tasted satisfactory and made the inside of my mouth feel happy. I followed that up with a large order of Intestine Noodle Soup. It smelled like butthole, which is how you know it is authentic. I wanted to try the Lamb Cumin Chef Special, but I was too full! I'll have to go back again.I also appreciated the fact that my good men and I were not judged or mistreated while we made out with each other at the table. The employees at Gem Bistro are extremely diligent, and they brought out fresh and delicious Chinese cooking that I haven't gotten to enjoy since Nolan kidnapped me and forced me to serve as a sex slave in China land. It brought back many happy memories.Thank you Gem Bistro. I will tell everyone in the world about the wonderful food you provided me on this blessed day. Faith in Christ!

家的味道。Taste of home.One of the best authentic Chinese restaurants around, you can tell they pay more attention in their ingredients and cooking than others.

I have been to this restaurant for at least 50 times! It’s the best Szechuan restaurant in this area. If you want to find some authentic spicy Chinese food, this will be the one place you are looking for. You will not be disappointed. It’s a tiny restaurant run by a family but have a lot of good Chinese food. But if you just want some American Chinese food like orange chicken or broccoli beef, don’t go there. They do authentic Chinese food.Btw, their website doesn’t work. Don’t waste time on it.

My kind of place. A hole in the wall off the beaten track. Learned about this place on Yelp. Good thing. I rarely take Schuyler to I 280 and unless you know about the place or are stopped at the light, you would never know it was there. We stopped in recently following our walk at Dekorte in the Meadowlands. We ate in but this is more of a take out place. About three tables and the only heat to be found was in the food and probably by the stove. We love Sichuan food. Spicier the better. You get that here. Owners, husband and wife, handle the orders and cooking. No english is spoken. We pointed at both menus provided and the gentleman headed back to the kitchen and prepared everything to order. Spicy short rib potatoes, cumin lamb and dry fried string beans. The short rib dish and string beans were outstanding! Very flavorful in addition to the mouth numbing heat of Sichuan peppercorns we enjoy. The lamb dish was just ok. Lots of chilies, onions and cumin but the lamb didn't taste like or look like lamb. We've had much better versions of this dish elsewhere. Again, there are two menus here. Be sure to look at both. An excellent first meal here. Looking forward to trying more dishes.

Delicious, delicious food for a reasonable price. I've gotten the lamb cumin, Dan Dan noodles, and pork with potatoes and it's all great (the latter two were the better of the bunch). Last time I called a guy who spoke no English answered the phone, so it's probably better to go in person to order if you don't speak whatever language the menu is written in. That way, you can point to the menu items you want. The place is a bit run down, but don't let that turn you off the food.

Absolutely a spot worth visiting, the food is excellent and fresh, the pricing is reasonable and it is always well organized there. Kudos.
Delivery is extremely slow (usually takes 2hrs during weekends)

Literally the best authentic Chinese restaurant in New Jersey. It's a hole-in-the-wall, family-run type of place but every dish is good. I've had about 12 and can't find fault with any one of them. Their Fuqi Feipian and the cabbage are extraordinary.

We enjoy eating out. Last night we went to this fine place which friends recommended to us. We spent a beautiful time there with superb dishes and a well-trained stuff and an impressive cuisine. We added this venue in our phone list and we will definitely come back soon. We highly recommend.
