62 Secret kitchen 中餐厅·私房菜

I had a wonderful dining experience here! The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was full of authentic flavors and perfectly prepared. The owner was very warm and welcoming, and the service was attentive and thoughtful throughout the evening. It’s rare to find a place that combines great taste, excellent hospitality, and such a comfortable atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for real Chinese cuisine.

Amazing restaurant with a lot of delicious dishes. Some dishes are classic dishes and while some are creative fusion. We enjoyed every dishes we ordered. The service is very prompt and attentive. The restaurant is full even on a weekday evening. We will definitely come back again.

Pleasantly surprised with this find in Jersey City - big portions and wide variety of dishes, both authentic and traditional dishes but a mix of unique items too (I.e. lobster mapo tofu, various cold dishes). Everything was seasoned well and not overpowering even though they focus on bolder Shanghai and Szechuan flavors. We liked the truffle fried rice and roasted fish the most! They have a decent space for bigger parties.

A very kid friendly place with high chair and a warm attitude. The soup dumplings were pretty good! Home-made Wonton is a bit on the salty side but pretty savory.

This restaurant is right in my neighborhood, so it’s super convenient! The food is delicious, and I especially love their 响油鳝丝，really flavorful and well-prepared. A great spot for a quick, tasty meal!

Oh. My. Jebus. I found Shanghainese Pork and Cabbage Noodle Soup on this side of the Hudson. And it's not only good....It's EXCELLENT! Yes, yes, the dish by which all Shanghai restaurants are judged is XLBs. We didn't get them (*horrified gasps*). Instead, we ordered this noodle soup because it is my personal Shanghai culinary litmus test--and 62 SK passed with flying colors! The noodles were kiu kiu, the pork was buttery tender, the mustard greens were delightfully crunchy--and most important of all, the broth was an umami nirvana. I'm going to throw hands: 62 Secret Kitchen's version surpasses Nan Xiang's, Din Tai Fung's and most of NYC's Shanghainese restaurants. It's that good. Everything else we got was stellar too. The Fresh Chicken in Wine Sauce (AKA Drunken Chicken) was tender and succulent. The Shanghai Meatball with Salted Egg Yolk (AKA Lions Head) was perfectly braised, though a tad too sweet for my liking. And the savory Sauteed Blue Crab with Rice Cake was that perfect dish to ward off the lingering early spring evening chill. Throw in the lovely modern yet traditional Chinese decor and friendly, attentive service (despite the place being packed), and you've got what's easily the best Chinese restaurant in downtown Jersey City. 10 years ago, a restaurant like this probably never would've survived in the area. What a difference a decade makes....

Nice food with friendly service. Love the dining atmosphere that made me felt very relaxed and there are lots of choices of food that they are so delicious!

This place is amazing!! We ordered the Peppercorn Rib Eye, Gold Soup, and the Beef Scallion pancake. Everything was super delicious. The food is amazing and our server Cindy was so kind and she even gave us the delicious jasmine tea to go!! Thank you so much 😊
