Kuo Social is a modern Chinese restaurant with not one, but two awards from the 2021 year; 2021 New Jersey Best New Restaurant and 2021 New Jersey Best Chinese. When you walk into Kuo Social the interior and menu equally transform you into it's own world. I recommend to share with your Valentine the Edamame dumplings which has white truffle oil - yum!
Looking to stay inside? Order Kuo-to-go! Three packages are offered to feed four people - great for a family dinner or a double date!
