Hunan Chinese Restaurant

Arguably the best Chinese in Northern NJ. It’s about a 20 minute drive from the Lake and offers a very pleasant and reasonably quite décor to accompany gourmet Chinese dishes. Get the Tre mee gee (lettuce wrapped ground chicken) as an ample appetizer for 4. If you like a Polynesian-style rum drink order the Flaming love boat (for 2), but if you like it enough to have a second, make sure you take a DD! My favorite is the Walnut shrimp salad (not really a salad, by the way). Not cheap but worth every dollar. Zagats rated.
