A little more clarity.

Are all six branches in Livingston?

Four branches print Livingston addresses: two on East Mount Pleasant Avenue and two on South Livingston Avenue. Ten Seconds Yunnan Rice Noodle at 200 NJ-10 and Spicy Chef at 249 NJ-10 East are explicitly outside-Livingston choices in East Hanover.

Which menus identify dumpling styles?

Spicy Chef’s East Hanover menu names soup dumplings, sticky-rice shumai, pork-and-shrimp shui mai, jumbo shrimp shui mai and chicken shui mai. Several Livingston menus use generic dim sum or shrimp-dumpling labels without enough format detail to identify har gow or siu mai.

Which dishes are vegetarian-relevant?

Peking has a separate named Vegetarian Menu with vegetable dumplings, vegetarian cold noodles and vegetarian fried-rice labels. China Garden names vegetable moo shu and bean curd home style; Oriental Kitchen names vegetable moo shu. Soy & Ginger names tofu lettuce wraps, while Spicy Chef names vegetarian string beans and cumin tofu. Confirm sauces and ingredients, including vegetarian meat substitutes; broth names alone do not establish meat-free soup.

What regional meals are represented?

Ten Seconds explicitly describes Yunnan-style cross-bridge rice noodles. Spicy Chef separates named Hunan and Sichuan sections, including Braised Pork in Mao’s Style. Soy & Ginger has a South East Asia section and explicitly describes Indonesian shrimp paste in Sambal Delight.

How do hours, ordering and delivery differ?

Each record names its selected price channel. Peking’s older homepage says pickup only while its new operator-linked menu displays delivery. Soy & Ginger’s PDF advertises platforms, but its own ordering menu marks delivery unavailable and its homepage hours contain conflicting AM/PM text. The East Hanover menus have shorter Friday ordering windows than the operator business hours. China Garden states delivery radius, minimum and fee; confirm current coverage and any extra charges.
