“This is a great restaurant find. The food is absolutely delicious, like home cooking and the portions are large. The staff and service are friendly and attentive. It’s a nice friendly atmosphere to dine and enjoy a meal with family and friends. My wife and I make a point of eating here once a week. The prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend Dragoon Palace It’s a rare jem.“

“I haven't ordered from here in years but since I'm sick at home decided to get something delivered. I ordered online so it was easy. I am so pleased! The food arrived within 30 minites and was piping hot! The hot & sour soup is full of flavor and veggies and mushrooms. It is exceptionally tasty. I ordered steamed wontons in garlic sauce and love these! I think these are amazing! I might be addicted to them. The egg roll is crispy and perfectly done. I haven't tried my chicken lo mein yet because I am saving it for dinner. But I had to review this before I have a food coma lol ? Thank you. Sultan Wok. You made me happy ?“

“Writing this review while I’m eating bad Chinese food in New Jersey, had me reminiscing about this place next to my old house. The garlic shrimp, sesame chicken and general Tso chicken are out of this world. I miss this place so much. Great food and great people. One of the best Chinese restaurants on the island. Highly recommend.“

“This is the only place I feel safe ordering in from as someone with food allergies. I have a dairy and gluten allergy and they are so accommodating with the dishes. You get big portions for a good price and the food is always so fresh. I also have a super stomach with some problems so I always feel icky eating out and since the food is cooked in high quality oil I never feel icky after eating here which is SO rare for me. The owner is incredibly kind and told me how she also has food allergies and is happy to make modifications and help. It’s so rare that restaurants welcome modifications and she always does so for me. I’ve never gotten sick here and it’s the one restaurant I feel comfortable ordering in from and look forward to doing so every week. The entire staff is helpful and are always kind and respectful even when the phone is ringing like crazy and there’s a line for pick up. They never rush you and always make you feel welcome. A local gem- thank you to the incredibly owner for giving us allergy people a safe place with delicious food and for accommodating me with a smile. I appreciate you so much. Please support this local small business“

“I ordered takeout today and it was fabulous! For some reason I thought that the menu was just dumplings and never looked further but it is so much more! The quality and completeness of my order was refreshing. I got the Bao Entree Deluxe (with no green peppers), the Pepper Steak for my green pepper loving friend, and the Bao Sampler platter (came with 2 dipping sauces). I also got 10% off the next order :). I also did not feel hungry 2 hours later which seems to always happen to me with chinese food and I don't get it often. I will definitely be back to order agian very soon!“

“The food is grand made fresh, the service is good as they are professional and make sure what you order is the right thing and how they respond on the phone is professional, the atmosphere is calm as the fish move around in the tank and watch you as they act curious

Vegetarian options: They can do just vegetables on the side if you ask if that’s possible

Kid-friendliness: The kids can watch the fish as they wait for their order“

“Really tasty food and they had variety of options as they serve different kinds coming from different countries. The honey lotus was my favorite out of all. Got to try new items and would come here again to more of them and this is definitely a restaurant to keep in mind and visit again. The atmosphere was great and service was helpful.“

“Authentic Chinese food at a reasonable price. Water and tea are self-serving. We ordered Sweet & Sour Pork Chop, Seafood Rice Cakes and Mapo Tofu with pork, all were delicious. Will try something different next time.

Parking: Tuesday around 1pm, plenty of parking.“

“Not even gonna lie, food is fire. I go to Brooklyn tech and when I come back home. This place is so nice, everything about it is amazing l. I can start off with the food first, amazing lo mein. It just melts in your mouth, the owner face us free spring rolls out of kindness, when you go to taste of china, get ready for a blast.Average techionian“

“I love this place!! Definitely recommend to everyone!!“

“This is hands down the best restaurant in NJ right now. The 8 course tasting menu is phenomenal, each dish balanced with unique flavors and texture, and beautiful plated. Our server explained each dish in detail, was extremely knowledgeable of the ingredients and dishes, and very friendly. He consistently topped off our drinks as needed and meticulously provided a new place setting for each course. The ambiance was very relaxing as we sat on the 2nd floor, with beautiful hip, modern decor. I was particularly intrigued by the faucet in the bathroom which was very unique. The overall attention to detail from the concept and design to the food and service is what sets it apart. Fine dining at its best with a relaxed atmosphere that easily compares to a Michelin star restaurant.

Free on site parking is available and it is a BYOB. A liquor store is conveniently located next door in case you forget to bring your libations.“

“Amazing resturaunt!!! Our waitress Vicky made our incredible experience even better!! Would highly recommend!!“

“This place has been my go-to Chinese spot to get food from the foods pretty good the service there is great the ladies that take your order are very sweet very genuine and they always make you laugh. Me and my family have been ordering here for I don't know how long but it's our go-to spot, the food portions are good and the prices for most things are fair.“

“So good! fresh food! I am allergic to shell fish and alot of times stuff get cross contaminated ,not this place!! The food is so good !!! first time there ,this is now my Chinese food restaurant.“

“Brand New Owner ? This place used to be so basic in a good way (my all-time to-go rice noodle) but has transformed wonderfully due to new ownership. Edison finally has not only authentic, but exotic local Rice Noodle ?? If you love rice noodle but sick of eating same old thing, come and try their exciting, adventurous selection of food that will cure any problems in your life ??“

“The only negative I have (and it’s a big one and has happened 4-5 times now), I order no onion in my pepper steak and they add a $2 extra meat fee. I didn’t ask for extra meat to compensate for lack of veggies , and I don’t like it added without it being acknowledged or even approved/denied.. really not okay with that decision being made without my knowledge of it and will say something next time..

However when it comes to the food? Do it. Our usual orders are a some kind of mix of chicken&broccoli, pepper steak, boneless ribs, sesame chicken, fried wontons… everything has been great every time. One of the “better “ meats when it comes to both the chicken and the beef.. delivery is uncomfortably fast at times lol. Prices are average to anywhere else around here but the portions are great. Would definitely reccomend.“

“My go-to chinese food restaurant for 6 years now. Other restaurants don't cut it for me. I've tried several and they fall short every time.

Parking: Limited parking directly in front with additional parking on the side“

“The food is good but when I walked in and saw those poor fish in a tank that is too small for them it really upset me. You need to get a bigger tank and a canister filter like the Fluval 407. It will keep the fish smell down and a bigger tank would be beneficial to the fish. It just broke my heart. If you can't take care of them find them a good home.“

“Incredible food at incredible prices. I came with some friends and we all got different skewers to go and loved them all! Some faves were the chicken/lamb/beef skewers, the cauliflower skewers, and the mackerel skewer (this one is a full bone in fish, but is great!). The vibe inside is super cool and the staff is friendly! For $2 per item (that are all delicious!) I'll certainly be back.“

“This is my favorite American-Chinese takeout spot in NJ! The owners are very nice, the food comes out quick, and the quality is good. I've tried other Chinese takeout places in the area, and China Wok is the only one that I've been satisfied with. I love their Crab Rangoon and like to get Beef Chow Fun. All their dishes taste good for the price. It's a nice local spot to order from when you're looking for American-Chinese takeout!“

“Always great food, super fast delivery & super fast when picking up orders too! Food taste & quality is excellent! Their prices are very good and you get a lot of food for the cost. We've been customers for about 7 years, love this place!“

“They still make really good food, not great like it used to be. They no longer have table service and the tables, chairs and rug are in disarray. They also doubled down on a weird pink color that leaves me to believe it must have been a clearance color.“

“This is my all time favorite Chinese Restaurant! The food is delicious, generous portions and friendly service! We missed them during their brief closure for the beginning of the pandemic. Thank you!!“

“Before going there to eat, I actually didn’t have any expectations for the restaurants on the island, but I ended up being slapped in the face. The food at Yaya is far better than expected, even better than some similar restaurants on Eighth Avenue and Manhattan. Will go again next time.“

“This place has incredible service. The food here is great and the dumplings are immaculate. All the staff members are incredibly nice and friendly. You can also tell that they reguraly change their oil based on the taste. They also offer to bring my food out too me due to me being to big to fit through the door. This place is a 10/10 and I would recommend friends and family coming to eat in this place.“

“A small takeout Chinese eatery with a fairly standard menu selection bearing high average prices. Hong Kong Express serves americanized Chinese fare. Set in a small strip mall, there seems to be adequate parking. Upon entering, the first impression is clean. Featuring newer furnishings, decor and construction. As a child took my order and payment, this is clearly a family business.
So I've only had one dish at this place. I can say for freshness of ingredients, it's excellent. For amount of meat added, average. Unfortunately my dish was extremely bland. I had to add 7 packets of various sauce and that was still not enough. As I make this dish at home, the main sauce is soy. I wish I had grabbed more.
Speaking of sauce, no sauce, forks, chopsticks or napkins were added or offered. I'm glad I checked and added on my own.
This business succeeds in 2 major ways most other Chinese places don't (freshness and cleanliness). I hope I just caught an off dish. I'd return, but until I had a better dish, I wouldn't recommend.“

“Favorite takeout in the area!! We’ve probably ordered close to 15 times by now and every single time the food is HOT, tastes fresh and EVERYTHING arrives! The staff is friendly and the driver as well!!! They sound BUSY on the weekends and we still get fresh food in 30-40 mins! Also I appreciate that they don’t rush while taking the orders!“

“Excellent food, friendly and generous portions.“

“I love the Chinese food here, even the few times I've had errors in the food. Or it wasn't great the restaurant was always understanding and took care of fixing it. Everyone has off days. I haven't had many here, I'd recommend to anyone.“

“Best lo mein in the area. I get mine with roast pork. This was my secondary place after House of Chong, also in Middletown, which has unfortunately been lacking lately. Tai Hing just moved up to number one. They are cleverly closed on Tuesdays instead of Mondays, since so many restaurants are closed then. The prices are also really fair and a good value. I’ll get a picture next time, I scarfed it all down too quickly LOL.“

“I had the shrimp with Bok choy. It was delicious. The food took a while to come out, but it was worth the wait.“

“The food is really great. Big portions and better than other Chinese restaurants in the area as well as surrounding counties. We have gone there many times. Suki is nice, hospitable and makes the dinner enjoyable.“

“We stopped at this restaurant for takeaway during a visit to Staten Island. The food was piping hot and very delicious. The staff at the front entrance was nice too. We got chicken wings, fried rice, broccoli garlic sauce and the spicy chicken eggplant dish which was very good.“

“Vegetarian options: ,just explain your specific interests

Dietary restrictions: Just explain your specific situation to your exact needs.

Parking: Location can get Busy during school drop off & pickup hr. and around lunchtime.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair ♿️ for accessible parking park 1st spot towards the sidewalk other than that only options are street parking.“

“Best Chinese food around. I’m big on Chinese food and you really can’t just eat it from anywhere. This place right here though has been a long time favorite. There’s not another Chinese restaurant I’ll eat at unless subjected to another state. Great food great service and it’s expedient. Only bad thing about this place is parking.“

“Have had a few times here. Right inside Kumar Soni plaza food court . Not much place to dine in. Especially during covid times , there is absolutely no social distancing. Just take out of u can . Good info Chinese food and rightly priced. Tried spicy ? wings and it was ok. It was just saucy. Nice quantity though. For about 8.50$ , it was stomach full . Fried rice, chilli ? and others also taste good. Lots of parking available . Overall a good place for quick indo Chinese food …“

“Stopped in for lunch while out on some errands. Food came out quickly and was delicious - General Tso chicken had just a light breading, which set it apart from others I've had. The owner was friendly and courteous, and even brought us out a plate of watermelon, which was great on a hot, muggy summer day. Will be back!“

“I absolutely love this family-owned Chinese restaurant! The food is consistently fresh and flavorful. I usually go for the shrimp broccoli, with white rice, or the shrimp fried rice with chicken wings—these dishes are always spot on.

The lady at the checkout is always courteous and nice. I asked for extra hot sauce, and she delivered it without hesitation—awesome service! Sometimes, the phone service can be a little hit-or-miss, but you’ll always get your order through.

They are very reliable with timing too. If they say the food will be ready in 15 minutes, it’s usually right on time. I definitely recommend eating here or getting takeout for a solid meal. Great local spot that I’ll keep coming back to!“

“This chinese food is the best ive had in a very long time!!! The boneless spare ribs are meaty!!! Not little tiny slivers of chipped meat. The rice was beautiful done, flavorful and it comes with egg! The general tsao chicken was beautifully crispy, not soggy even after taking it to go!! The wonton soup broth was flavorful unlike most places that taste like chicken water. The wontons themselves were also flavorful. I will be a new regular after avoiding Chinese food for years“

“Online ordering was easy and simple.
But online receipt and actual receipt have $1 difference. Be Aware.
Delivery took about 50 mins but food were still good.
So far, best Chinese delivery food around this neighborhood.“

“This place is a must try if you are in the area. It was delicious.“

“This restaurant is unquestionably one of the tastiest place to eat in the neighborhood. Whenever I visit this place I am very glad. They hold their very high level service and the highest level of cooking they give. You definitely will enjoy this this restaurant. Very recommended.“

“I recently went to this store and really enjoyed the experience. The people working there were friendly and made me feel welcome from the moment I entered. I was impressed by how fast my order was ready; everything was ready in about 10 minutes. The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor, and the portions were generous. Good prices, considering the quality, and a great value. In general, a very nice visit, and I will be back soon!“

“I have been eating here for a while now, as I have eaten at other places for asian food, I find this place to be the best in the area. Boneless ribs, Lomein, sweet n sour chk all good.“

“I ordered dragon phoenix, vegetable lo mein, and sesame wonton, and they were all so delicious with the sesame wonton being so flavorful and the jumbo shrimp from the dragon phoenix taste so fresh and the chicken with white meat tastes so juicy and crunchy with great flavor

Vegetarian options: Veg lo mein and mix veg are both really good“

“The food is very good, always fresh, and never oversalted. NO MSG here! The family who runs this establishment is very kind and accommodating if you alert them to food sensitivities or if you must adhere to a special diet. If you are gluten free your choices may be limited, but there are a good number of options. Extremely clean kitchen.“
