50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Cedar Grove

“I've been ordering here for years. Their food is amazing. I am picky about Singapore Mei Fun. I had found one takeout place in Mendham that has done really well for years and when I work in that area I order it. On a whim I asked them how theirs was and said I would let her know. It was amazing. Along with the rest of the food. The egg rolls are crispy and not a drop of grease. Outstanding Chinese takeout. Keep up the good work.“

“Great service and fabulous food“

“Lucky Foo in Kearny, NJ: The Real Deal Chinese Experience

If you're looking for that authentic, no-frills Chinese spot, Lucky Foo is for you.

If you're expecting some fancy American-style service, you might be in for a shock. But trust me, that's part of the charm. It's just one person cooking and one serving, and their mission? Get that homemade food to you, no matter how long it takes. Don't come here if you're in a rush - this is slow food at its finest. I learned about this style of service living in Hawaii, so it felt familiar to me.

Now, let's talk about the star of the show - the food. It's clean, packed with homestyle flavor, and will leave you feeling satisfied. That noodle soup? Pure magic. When I'm craving authentic, homemade noodle soup, this is the spot I head to. It's not an everyday thing, but when that specific craving hits, Lucky Foo delivers.

The vibe inside is something else. It's quiet - like, eerily quiet - and filled with what looked like college-age Asian students. No background music, no chitchat, just people focused on their bowls or phones. It's an experience, I'm telling you.

Don't expect any fancy menus - it's all up on the wall. And heads up, it's cash only. But honestly? The food is so good, you won't even care.

If you're after authentic Chinese cuisine without any of the fuss, Lucky Foo is your spot. It might not be for everyone, but for those who get it? It's a little slice of homestyle heaven right here in Kearny.“

“If you’re looking for delicious authentic Sichaun dishes, recommend getting the Soup dumplings, Mongolian Beef, Dandan Noodles, Scallion Pankcakes, Chef Tan Style Fried Rice, Shrimp fried rice, Sichuan Style Hot & Sour Glass Noodles and Vegetarian String Beans. Heat levels can be adjusted to your liking.“

“Delish. We always love coming to veggie heaven“

“I have lived in town for about 6 years. We found this restaurant online and gave it a try. We ordered the pineapple and chicken fried rice, a dish called Phoenix, and the General Tso's Shrimp. Each dish was excellent and the staff was warm and friendly. Will continue to buy food from here!!!!HOT AND SOUR SOUP WONDERFUL!!! GOOD FOR COLDS!!!!“

“Wonderful food. Soup is amazing. Service is great and the menu is huge“

“Best Chinese food in Cassiac! The owners were super sweet and the food was delicious. Went here 3 times last week to try different dishes, and the eggrolls are the best thing on their menu. Will visit soon again when I'm back in Cassiac, and can't wait to go back!“

“I'm actually very impressed with this place. We were looking for something on Christmas Day and was glad we found here. What a hidden gem! The food was hot and fresh and not overly sweet or drenched in salty sauce like some of your other Chinese take out places! Heck they even ran a lunch specials on Christmas Day! Awesome price and generous portions. We got the beef chow fun, shrimp with broccoli, hunan tofu and chicken with spring beans. And honestly everything was quiet good and not overly salty or too sweet. Also they have brown rice! Which is awesome. A great spot and we will be back!“

“Good food at very affordable pricing. BYOB Attentive staff. Good parking. Scenic views.“

“Came here for lunch, they have a lunch special Monday-Saturday 11am-3pm. I had the general Tso chicken. Overall my food was good. It was spicy, fresh, and flavorful. The restaurant is clean and tidy, although, they should make it look prettier with some Chinese decor. Food was served fast. No complaints or issues. I would recommend this restaurant.“

“I've lived in Fair Lawn my whole life and never visited up until a couple months ago. I went to a place in Saddle Brook which is also great. But that place was closed on a Monday so I came to Great Wall. Very happy. Reasonably priced and delicious. NOT SALTY! I can't tell you the difference in the quality of food. The owner is such a sweet person too. Always smiling and thank you. Give it a try!!!“

“Great food & service you know it's good when you see Asian familys coming in.“

“OVER 33 years my dad has been going to this Chinese spot. Anytime we have visitors my dad would order takeout from here and they would love it. My entire family loves it! You don’t hear of people going to a restaurant for decades! Well this is the spot! The sweet and sour chicken is what I ate since I was little, it’s the best I’ve ever had and I’m a foodie!“

“Eerie feeling today, new people running it I noticed, young man taking orders and working the register. Another man watching his every move. Nobody in the kitchen working. No beehive of activity and very quiet. Loved this place with happy previous owners. New owners???“

“I really appreciate them having a gluten-free menu and lots of options, not just a salad. I tried their gluten free general tsos shrimp and shaved marinated brocoli shoots as an appetizer. It was generally good but shrimp was a bit overcooked. I will come back to taste their other dishes.“

“Let me share my experience with this restaurant being it’s my first time eating here. To start off the people are very pleasant and greeted me with a smile and a warm welcome. So there is no issue there ! The food was also decent , very tasty and everything was fresh. Some things that they can improve on is a little less salt ( msg) and they also had cinnamon in the egg roll which was sort of odd. But overall it was a good place to eat.“

“Food is 10/10 this place never fails. They are a cash only establishment but you can order online with card. They are closed on Mondays but it doesn’t matter the customer service and food makes up for it. Best Chinese spot I’ve probably ever had.“

“A lot of Chinese restaurants claim to have the best Chinese food but this one soars above all of them. 10/10 best Chinese food I have every tried. They're prices have gone up over the years but nevertheless cheap. NOTE THEY ONLY ACCEPT CASH“

“The best food and it is a pleasure every time I return to Passaic from Los Angeles I try to bring as much as I can of their delicious food and going to pick up food brings back many memories of when I lived there and my young children but 100% recommended“

“The food is good but the delivery fee was kind of pricy. 0.8 mile, $9 delivery fee for $39 food. No receipt attached the delivery lady just told me how much is the total. Kind of surprised by it. Next time I think I’ll just order to go. Lol couldn’t afford the delivery fee plus tip“

“We often order from Verona Chinese Kitchen, delivery only. Deliveries are prompt. I really like their Sesame Chicken, Sweet and Sour Chicken, and Chicken with Cashew Nuts. My husband enjoys their Beef with Snowpeas, and Shrimp Toast. We sometimes order their soups, especially the Hot and Sour soup and Wonton soup, but ask for modifications as my husband has certain tolerances. They are very accommodating, everything arrives as ordered. The service is friendly, professional, and our orders are read back for clear communication, which is much appreciated as I am hard of hearing.“

“My YouTube channel brought my here and they did not disappoint! My favorite dishes I tried were the boneless spare ribs and the beef lo mein. The one area I think that can be improved on is with the pork fried rice. Other than that this place is amazing and definitely worth checking out! Check out my full review on YouTube @YuccaWithChopsticks“

“Food is amazing chicken is cooked just right it's never over nor under cooked , they very friendly, the fact they have a twist of Spanish food it a 10 for me !! They not greasy at all ... delivery rate a 10 aswell they come fast !! I've ordered over 5 times nd all 5 time's EXCELLENT SERVICE !! Thank you goodies staff you guys are appreciated!!“

“Great place to catch a quick bite of authentic Asian cuisine. Atmosphere is cozy and vibrant, and the food is amazing. Staff is passionate and friendly, demonstrating that they care about their customers. Great experience overall, will definitely be coming back and recommending this place to all my friends.“

“I enjoyed my lunch here - the scallion pancakes were really tasty! The fried rice was a little underwhelming, but all in all the meal was tasty. I would recommend as a quick lunch spot or you can order ahead like me! Side note - the guy working the front was very kind :)

Vegetarian options: Plenty veggie options to pick from“

“We ordered take-out, picked up and enjoyed our family Sunday dinner of two orders of steamed dumplings with their delicious sauce, shrimp egg foo-young with steam rice, house-special egg foo-young with steam rice, and a quart of their special young chow fried rice. We received 4 cans of complimentary sodas with extra hot sauce, soy sauce, and duck sauce.“

“It was a baby shower hosted by the parents of the first time mother. The menu chosen by the father was selecting 90 percent of the delicious dim sum on themenu. We had every dish commonly enjoyed by families.

There were 30 tables with many young children all enjoying the food and the occasion. It was a wonderful celebration for new life, a new baby for expecting parents, grandparents, and family members and friends. The food, service, and the general happiness of the attending members was memorable.“

“The BEST tasting take-out joint. And if you're looking for extra spicy/hot food, they know how to hit the spot. Being a vegetarian, I always order Vegetable Lo Mein with Fried Tofu and Vegetable Fried Rice with Fried Tofu. I ask to make it extra spicy and it's so delicious!!

Vegetarian options: They are kind to substitute meat or add tofu to any dish.“

“I have been a customer for 9 years, moving from Kearny to Harrison, back to Kearny & I have never stopped ordering from them. They have a wonderful attitude, even during VERY busy times. Sweet lady who answers the phone is so pleasant. They always get my order right. The food tastes great, well cooked! There have been different people working here, but they must be family because they are all just great. Thank you guys for your service!“

“ok To some extend the lady at the front taking order she is always smiling and treating their customers like a 5 star restaurant on top of that the food its so fresh and delicious trust me when i said these food its so different than others... great job !!!!!!“

“I absolutely love ordering from here! I’ve been eating here since I was in high school and since introducing it to my fiancée, it’s been both our favorite spot to order from. The fried dumplings are always so tasty and satisfying. I also enjoy the sesame chicken and my fiancée loves the shrimp lo mein combo, both never disappoints. The staff is always so kind and welcoming, and you can really tell they take pride in their family owned business and it shows. The recent renovations really enhance the cozy, homey atmosphere—it looks fantastic. Our friends and family all adore this place too. Can’t wait to order from here again!“

“I'm a local. Not sure what's changed but the food has gotten significanty better recently.

In my experince, their soups, mains, even their eggrolls recently leveled up.

Looking forward to our next Chinese food night.“

“Chili grilled shrimp!!!!“

“Very grateful for this place. So glad I spent the extra couple minutes to compare menus/reviews and landed here rather than the other closer options. The food was fresh, hot, tasty and it was prepared quickly. Friendly service but have some patience and grace as English is not their first language.

My boyfriend and I were exhausted, stressed, and hungry (I.e. desperate) during the tail end of a 5hr drive at Sunday night in the middle of rain/flooding and this place single handedly turned our miserable night around. Will definitely be back whenever we’re in the area again!“

“The girl was pretty polite on phone , she even made sure that I am in calling for the right place. Had ordered a small chicken soup and chicken fried rice . Food was really good. For sure I will recommend this place. One extra star for hospitality as well.“

“Went there for lunch and ordered a sesame chicken meal and paid about $10, but boy was it worth it! The food was good and the meal came with an egg roll plus pork fried rice and really filled me up. 10/10 would definitely eat here again.

Kid-friendliness: Has Lego decorations that kids might enjoy.“

“First it was a rainy day. They were busy. Young lady let's us know it was an 30 min wait. I was not rushed to order. She was very pleasant and patient. I ordered shrimp Egg Foo Young and beef Egg Foo young. The beef was so tender and the shrimp are nice big ones. And the brown gravy was delicious. If I could give 10 stats I would. Even with the wait time.“

“THE BESTAfter trying out other local Chinese restaurants THIS was my go to when I lived in Passaic. I moved out of Passaic and they don’t deliver to my area now but the food is worth the drive so I keep coming back once in awhile on my days off. Plus the staff is very nice and friendly. Like I said THE BEST.“

“Great family owned place for decades, when I go in they treat me like family because I’m kind and respectful. I’ve noticed a lot of people leaving reviews of one star only leave negative reviews and in my opinion often invalidates their opinions. Seems like most people want to have their butts kissed by their neighbors, but if you’re kind and respectful to staff they’ll return the favor. Food is delicious, prices are fair, and the kitchen is open and clean.

Dietary restrictions: They have vegetarian and gluten free options.

Parking: Parking on the street is available but there’s a Burger King next door that is often used to pick up orders.“

“Absolute freshest delicious best chinese food in NJ. Reasonably priced and very nice portions. Delivery person and everyone there very polite. Looks like hole in wall from outside but don't let that fool you because always consistent delicious food.“

“This has always been my go-to Chinese restaurant, best chicken wings ever! My only problem is the barber shop next door, I believe the Chinese restaurant needs their own

parking: NEW UPDATE: The city should help with the parking and help fix the restaurant, it would be nice, because those Chinese employees work really hard to help the customers, so it would be a nice gesture, I am also glad that they have two days off now, they deserve it...“

“DON'T SLEEP ON EM-- BOULEVARD IS THE BEST CHINESE FOOD I'VE EVER HAD! THE BEST!!!!Their food is ALWAYS FRESH always hot! They always bring our order within 15 minutes! Their wings are amazing and that's why I took the time to write this review. I was shocked when I saw the ratings because I've been ordering from here for over 2 years (whenever we decide to do Chinese for dinner)They're the best!! If we move, I hope they deliever to our location.“

“Best local place for traditional Americanized Chinese food. They usually have the order ready within 20 minutes from your call and are reasonably cheap for the size of the portions. Each dish is flavorful and its a nice treat when you don't feel like cooking. They have a small parking lot in front too for covenience if you pick up!

Parking: Small lot right in front with a few spaces.“

“I was in the mood for Chinese food and the recent 5-star reviews made me want to give this place a try. Those reviews were not misleading.

After eating my pork-fried rice, I am glad that I chose to go there. I will probably make this place my preferred Chinese food restaurant.“
