Where it fits in the New Jersey cluster
Linden is one of three New Jersey restaurants that were open before the Delran and Springfield openings, alongside Edison and Holmdel. That makes it a restaurant with some history, which helps if you want reports of how it runs.
It is a handy choice if you are near the airport or the Turnpike, since Union County’s other restaurant, Springfield, is a short drive away in the other direction.
Ordering for two
Two people can build a good meal from one soup dumpling order, one dim sum plate, a noodle or rice dish and a vegetable. Cucumber salad and bok choy with scallion oil were on the original menu and cut through richer dishes.
