Where can I find turtle meat soup in Edison, NJ?

I have been unable to find a Chinese restaurant that serves turtle meat soup. The area has a large Asian population, and I was hoping to find some turtle meat soup without having to travel to Flushing, NY. Does anyone have any recommendations? I have found one restaurant that serves frog soup, but none for turtle.

If someone can read Chinese maybe they can tell me if this menu has turtle soup. If someone knows a place that has turtle soup within the area, please do not hesitate to say so. Thank you ahead of time! :)

    I have no idea where to find turtle soup. However, a couple of questions for you:

    Who serves frog soup?

    Does the restaurant whose menu you posted have authentic food, or standard food just written in chinese? If so, how do you order it if you don't read chinese?

    Thanks in advance.

      Hello chuck98,

      Thanks for replying! I know where to get frog soup. The URL I posted is actually the place I found frog soup, and that is on Rt 1 in Edison between Woodbridge Center Mall and Menlo Park Mall. The menu I had gotten was in English and Chinese. I am not sure if I got a Chinese menu, because I was with a Chinese speaker. The waiter didn't get any Chinese out of her though, and seemed disappointed, so I am not sure. She ordered that soup, I tried it. Now I must find turtle meat soup. I know it's in Flushing, NY, I just can't find it in NJ. It's pretty rare. I also noticed it's insulting to call Chinese restaurants asking for that item, they seemed to get angry. Anyway, I am not Chinese, so I was given a menu in English and it had the frog meat soup. That place seems authentic though. Their menu there is way different than the website one, and the place I think it called Sakura now (they have like 5 names). It's a weird place that keeps switching names.
