  Although you may overlook the store because it's plain exterior design, but the food is great for those who wanted to try traditional Chinese food. Try their spicy pot and their spicy chicken. The service is nice. And inside is comfy and cozy. You mustn't miss out!

  The Manager should know the law when applying tip requirements. I was repeatedly over charged a different price than displayed on the menu. Also I was told that if I didn't leave a minimum of 15% or more tip to not eat in. That is rude. The service is never up to par at this place.
  
  Mandatory Gratuities and Services Charges
  
  If your employer imposes a mandatory charge on customers for service – for example, for parties of eight or more at a restaurant, or for catered meals or hotel events – that typically doesn’t count as a tip. Your employer can keep all of that money, even if the patrons don’t leave an additional amount for you. Although some employers pass all or part of these services charges on to employees, they aren’t required to.
  
  How can you tell whether a customer has paid a mandatory service charge – which your employer can keep – or a tip to which you are legally entitled? The Internal Revenue Service says tips must meet all of these criteria:
  •The customer is free to decide how much to leave. Although the employer may suggest an amount, the customer can decide how much to tip.
  •The payment is voluntary, not mandatory.
  •The employer does not determine the amount based on its policy (for example, that parties of six or more will be charged an 18% “mandatory gratuity”) or negotiate the amount with the customer (for example, for a catered event).
  •The customer has the right to decide who gets the money – by, for instance, handing the money directly to a server or bartender.
  
  A few states, including New York, require employers to clearly notify customers that the service charge goes to the house, not to the employees who served them. If your employer doesn’t post the legally required notice, employees might be entitled to keep the charge as a tip. Contact the State of New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development to find out the current rules in New Jersey.
