21 Best Chinese Restaurants in Newark

“Haven’t been back in a while, and wow — they’ve added so many new items!

The grilled honeycomb tripe, beef tendon, and pork intestine were all outstanding — perfectly grilled, full of flavor, and not greasy at all. You can really taste that authentic Chinese BBQ seasoning.

Don’t miss the signature Mala Mao Cai 🍺 and the spicy tripe (香辣涮肚) — both are absolute must-orders and pair amazingly well with the skewers.

This place keeps getting better every time I come back. If you’re craving real Chinese street-style BBQ, this is the spot!“

“I had such a wonderful experience at this hotpot restaurant! The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, perfect for gathering with friends or family. The menu offered a wide selection of broths from rich, spicy options to light, herbal ones so everyone could find something they liked.“

“Decent beef noodle soup at this Chinese restaurant, specializing in northwestern Chinese cuisine. Surprisingly large menu. Flavorful soup, good noodle texture, and tender meat. However, the stir-fried veggies were a bit under seasoned. Efficient service. Large free parking lot.“

“We ordered Li’s Watermelon Soup with Lamb, Stir-Fried Pork, and Beef Tripe in Chili. The soup was the highlight — perfectly seasoned, generous with lamb, and even included goji berries. The other two dishes were quite good as well. Service was excellent; the staff were warm and welcoming. The restaurant itself is bright, clean, and inviting.“

“I’m quite shocked how much food they gave me after all of the Chinese takeouts I’ve been too! It’s no wonder that this place has received higher ratings. This plate I have can get you full in no time unless you share it or save up for dinner later. The food here is even tasty. That two-item combo costs around $13!

I heard that this restaurant also serves à la carte, but you can also go through fast-food style like what I had today. Place wasn’t really big but the seating area in a way stands out. You can probably wait there until your order is ready. Also, I was scrolling through the foods from the display. Seems that many people ate here during lunch while I came here for dinner. Doesn’t seem that they have plenty of options from the display for combo orders, but that’s alright.

Honestly, I thought that the Spicy Orange Chicken would be very spicy, but gladly, it isn’t. I was hoping that I don’t end up drinking too much water from severe spiciness. I have tried the regular Orange Chicken from a similar place, but didn’t like it.

This will be one of the favorite Chinese takeouts I will go to for now on. Looking forward for more!“

“服務好 速度也快 食物很好吃 會一吃還想再吃的串烤店“

“This restaurant is located right next to the famous Little Sichuan—healthy competition is always welcome. The interior feels newly renovated with a pleasant ambience, something I wish Little Sichuan would consider as well.

We ordered three dishes: Chongqing Spicy Chicken, Flavor Kitchen Cage Frog, and Dry-Baked Green Beans. Both the spicy chicken and the cage frog were quite good. The green beans were just okay; they were a bit stringy, and I’ve definitely had more tender versions elsewhere.

Be prepared to wait a bit for your food. It took about 15–20 minutes for our first dishes to arrive. This might actually be a good sign, since many Chinese restaurants rely heavily on pre-prepped ingredients—here it seems they cook more from scratch, which takes longer but tastes fresher.

Overall, we had a positive experience and will be adding this restaurant to our list for future visits.“

“food delicious! and nice and hot. had sweet and sour pork with chow mein. ample portions and great price.“

“The service is just from being overwhelmed from called in orders. Impatient people not used to waiting for cooked food, it’s not microwaved food and it’s quality so you can’t argue, many restaurants are microwaved with frozen meat which makes a hard center, this place actually cooks with skill where it’s made right for health, it not oily it’s protein from the meat.“

“Yummy food and excellent service. This is what I would say about Good Neighbor Restaurant.

The restaurant is not very busy when we have our table at around 6:30pm on Sunday. But lots of customers are coming in a little after we have our table. The dining room is full at around 7pm. We’re fortunate to have a table before everyone else comes. We are lucky because we can have a delicious dinner at a very reasonable price. Most of the dishes we ordered are of above-average to excellent quality. The best thing that impressed us was their customer service. The lady who served our table went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our meal.

I loved my experience at Good Neighbor Restaurant and cannot wait to go back.“

“This chain originates in Guangdong Province and has been in existence since 1981.

Limited menu featuring traditional Cantonese healthy favorites: rice noodle rolls, porridge/congee, curative herbal soups, and steamed rice/meat.

Great place for a clean healthy meal.“

“I did takeout from New Venus HK Café in Newark and was really pleased. The Shrimp and Scrambled Eggs, Chow Fun, and Sweet and Sour Pork were all flavorful and well-prepared — true Hong Kong-style comfort food. Portions were generous, prices fair, and the food held up well for takeout. Service was friendly, even during the busy lunch rush. Definitely one of the best Chinese fast-food spots in the area!“

“Chow main noodles have been exchanged from the plump noodles to more of a ramen type noodle. Very dry and disgusting to eat. The rest of my food was good but since the chow main was over half of my meal and most important part I was not happy.“

“We love this place travel from Hayward for their food.“

“Nice and fresh food, Warm to the Table, Friendly Staff There Also, next Time I will get the HotPot Cooking“

“Here's the review with the added information:
"Great take out place for roasted duck and pork. My fav is duck roasted plate which came with rice and steamed cabbage. Loved the duck flavor. It's in the lions supermarket complex, just outside the supermarket. Not recommended for dining-in. It's a quick grab the food and take away."“

“Pure good hongkonger canteen. Love it!“

“Legend Hot Pot & Grill honestly surprised me for the price, you get hotpot and BBQ in one spot, and everything tasted way fresher than most AYCE places. The broth was flavorful, the meats were tender and well-marinated, and the conveyor belt made grabbing veggies and noodles super easy. The sauce bar was fully stocked with everything you’d want, the vibe inside was warm and clean, and the staff kept refilling things without us even asking. Overall, it’s a perfect cold-weather spot with great value, tons of variety, and a way better experience than I expected. I’d definitely come back.“

“Came here for the first time, and got the LA galbi, seafood pancake, and spicy soy marinated crab. The staff were really friendly, and the food was delicious. Everything was tasty and well balanced. Only thing was the pancake could have been cooked longer/crispier. I will come back again when craving Korean food!!“

“Harbor Bay offers good dim sum, with cart service during peak hours. The staff are very friendly, accommodating, and kid friendly. We enjoyed our little dim sum stop today and will come back.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid-friendly and accommodating to babies, toddlers, kids.“

“I'm not exaggerating, but their cross-bridge rice noodle tastes even better than a lot of places in Yunnan, where the dish originates.
The owner (he's also the main chef I think) put so much effort into recreating the authentic flavor.
Let me give you an example. In Yunnan, the stem of a type of bulrush (建水草芽) is used in the broth. That of course is hard to find here, so they cleverly improvised and used asparagus instead, and it worked amazingly well.
Every sip of the broth brings back so much memories of my hometown.
But unsurprisingly they still can't defeat the curse of google map reviews: authentic international food never gets more than 4 stars 🤣“
