Ordering tips

How to have the best meal at Tasty Moment

Eat first

Order the XLB before anything else

Soup dumplings are best eaten immediately after they arrive -- the soup inside cools and the skin toughens quickly. Order them as your first dish, not as an afterthought.

Technique

How to eat xiao long bao without burning yourself

Bite a tiny hole in the side of the dumpling first, let steam escape and the soup cool for 5-10 seconds, then sip the soup before eating the rest. Skip this step and you will burn your mouth.

BYOB tip

Bring a bottle

Tasty Moment is BYOB. A dry Riesling, Pinot Gris or light Chinese Shaoxing-style cooking wine pairs well with dumplings and noodle soups.

Reservations

Call ahead for groups

Tasty Moment accepts reservations for larger groups. Call (732) 650-0888 to book. Walk-ins are generally accommodated but peak hours (weekend evenings) can be busy.

Tuesday

Closed on Tuesdays

The restaurant is closed every Tuesday. All other days it opens at 11:30 AM with a break between 4 PM and 5 PM before the dinner service resumes until 9:30 PM.
