50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Colts Neck

“Their food is not oily. It doesn't taste like old oil. The only way I can describe the food is that it tastes clean. I don't usually eat fried rice, but when I tried theirs, I loved it. highly recommend place. I didn't feel bloated and sluggish after.“

“Bella, our waitress in Freehold, was amazing!! She was friendly and provided very good service!! You could tell she loved her job!! We have been to this restaurant several times before and visit the restaurant when we come to Freehold Mall!! The food is absolutely yummy!!“

“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!“

“Inside will not knock your shoes off, but I have to say the best dam authentic beef noodle soup I ever had. And ohh boy, I get around. Most dishes are top notch. I would drop some money in an interior remodel if was owner. I know peoole who dont eat here because its not updated. Definitely a spot I will continue to visit.“

“Love this restaurant! The food is always delicious and the staff is nice as well as attentive. They offer outdoor seating, which I love.
They have a great vegetarian ‘chicken’ imperial that my family is obsessed with!
Definitely a favorite of ours!“

“For takeout it's awesome. It is not a place that I would sit down and eat at you most certainly can. But it definitely seems extremely boring and I also need to add that I only eat shrimp rolls mostly which they are awesome maybe once in awhile I will go for an egg roll which is fine. The soup is good and boneless spare ribs are good and the orange chicken is awesome“

“Since moving here we tried a bunch of different places until finding J&P. Four four years now this is the only spot that we all consistently love and has stellar service. They don't deliver to us so we go and pick it up, it's ALWAYS ready within 15 minutes. Service is great, food is always awesome.“

“Nice little place we tried out about a month ago and have been back twice since.. very good food and very fair prices. Also you can get a pint or quart of most of the main dishes which is always a nice option to have.. friendly staff and they honored the coupon that I forgot to bring with me . ?“

“Golden Bao is always great! The food is always prepared well and quickly. I have seen them working during very busy rushes and it is incredible how many orders they accomplish at once. I have also yet to experience an order mistake and I will order once a week for me and my staff. 10 out of 10.“

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

“We ordered delivery to the raddison in freehold nj. Was absolutely fantastic! We stayed in freehold for 4 days and had takeout every night and this was by far the best takeout of our trip. We tried a wide variety of dishes and appetizers and it was all delicious. A must try if you are ever in the area.“

“Can't say enough great things about this place. Been going here for over 20 years and it is my go to spot for Chinese and Thai cuisine. Staff is incredibly friendly and the service is super quick. Their lunch specials are relatively inexpensive and enough food to get you at least two meals out of it. Highly recommend the Pad Thai, Egg Foo Yung, Empire Chicken, Satay Chicken, Orange chicken and Garlic Shrimp. It's all great here, never had a bad meal.“

“This is a typical Chinese takeout place with all the familiar dishes and lunch menu items at a typically fair price. Staff is friendly. I wish there wasn't a 10 dollar minimum for credit cards (who carries cash?) but that's not their fault. Food is exactly what you'd expect if you've ever had "hole in the wall" takeout before.“

“oh my god good eats!!!!! ordered was told 1/2 hour but was ready for pick up when i got there in 10 they don't deliver though too bad i'll have to go get it it's way worth it!!!! im gonna be eating this for a week its so big for under $10

Parking: plenty

Kid-friendliness: sweet people nice to my dog too!!!!“

“I have lived in the area 40 years and started ordering from this restaurant weekly just over the last 2 years. My only regret is I didn’t find them sooner. Overwhelmingly satisfied with everything on the menu. The staff is extremely nice, polite, social and personable. Treat yourself“

“Middletown's House of Chong seems to have undergone some kind of internal change and as a result their entrees are skimpy on the vegetables. So Tai Hing has become my favorite Chinese food spot, plenty of veggies in the entrees and savory sauces.“

“We only get take out althoiugh they have maybe 3-4 tables for many years. Food has been consistantly great. Husband and wife team and very nice people. I love their house special soup but have not had anything that was not good here! Any reviews that are not stellar are likely from competitors!

Dietary restrictions: Can request no MSG or to hold certain ingedients

Parking: Parking lot is large“

“food was excellent we were a party of 4 we all order different combo meals which included egg roll,choice of soup, entree and desert which was a verity flavors of ice cream while we waited for our meals we had hot tea and fried noodles with duck sauce for dipping overall it was a great experience

Parking: Huge parking lot“

“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“

“I have been ordering from Golden Star for awhile now...for a local Chinese takeout/delivery they are very very good... Their food is always good, fresh and delivered quickly...even if they say 35 minutes it is at your door in 20. They accommodate special menu requests with no problem and offer lunch specials and have coupons. I really cannot say anything negative...if you're looking for a local chinese spot please look no further!!!“

“Best takeout Chinese food I've found in the area so far. Fantastic white meat sweet and sour chicken, which was crispy with a side of sweet dipping sauce, and great pork fried rice. Szechuan chicken was also very good although a little sweet and comes with a lot more vegetables than meat. They did forget the rice with our order so check the bag.“

“I can only speak on what I ate, but the food was excellent. I had steamed shrimp steamed veggies and white rice. I got 5 large shrimp and they were cleaned! The ride and veggies were excellent. It was a lunch special and was $8.50 with a drink. Can’t beat the price. The woman was working the desk was very kind.“

“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!“

“Very good Cantonese cuisine, one of the best in America“

“This is not our usual place. Either is the one across the street, which we ordered the day before and we’re extremely disappointed to the point that we wanted Chinese again the following night and we chose Golden Jade. Flat-out great food here and I knew it because it’s family run and everyone was friendly. You can tell they take pride in their cooking. We had fried dumplings which would great - they give you 8 and my only critique is they need more filling but the taste is great. The house lomein and house fried rice were outstanding. Fresh and not over sauced. The chicken and broccoli and the general tso chicken were what you expect in the taste department and we’re done very well. Their egg rolls were tasty. The highlight though was the boneless spareribs. So many places get this wrong - these were the best I’ve had in the area even topping my usual place. They had the right amount of glaze, weren’t tough and were made completely using rib meat. Sweet, salty, and easy to chew. This place didn’t disappoint and if it’s a battle between Golden Jade or the one across the street in the junction, Golden Jade is easily the winner.“

“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.“

“Amazing food and service, also great prices. They are fast to deliver as well.“

“General Tso’s chicken was crispy and perfectly done, right amount of spice level for me, few freshly steamed broccoli and white rice cooked to deliciousness! With one spring roll (we split the order, there were two) all and all, great lunch.“

“Really cool, hip take on classic Chinese/Taiwanese foods! It's not a made-from-scratch-in-the-back-room, super-fresh dumpling place like you might find in Edison, but that's not what it's trying to be either. For a quick, efficient counter-service take-out place, Ugly Dumpling Express hits the spot when you're craving a consistent soup dumpling or comfort rice/noodle dish on the go. The prices are reasonable, and the taste is surprisingly authentic for an "express" shop.

I've gotten it to-go as well as dine-in. The soup dumplings do indeed have soup, which is better appreciated when dining in. The food comes out piping hot and well-steamed in the classic bamboo steaming baskets. The popcorn (salt & pepper) chicken is a must-order for us. It's well-seasoned, crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside. We also had the beef noodle soup and were very pleasantly surprised by the fullness of the broth's flavor. The beef was quite tender; it did have a bit more tendon than I like, but this was to my wife's taste. The cucumber salad is cut in large chunks, but well-marinated, and the cold side dish complemented the hot dishes well.

We also ordered the sesame noodles to-go. They do a great job at packaging the sauce and noodles separately so the noodles don't get soggy or oversaturated. These dishes (saucy noodles, dumplings, etc.) aren't traditionally great when not immediately consumed, so I do appreciate that they take extra measures to preserve the texture and flavor for a take-out option.

All in all, we're very happy to have a local dumpling spot in Holmdel. It's at least 80% as good as the authentic hole-in-the-walls in Edison or Chinatown, but 100% worth it to avoid the crowd, traffic, and wait times trekking out there! Would definitely recommend - and give dining-in a chance for best results!“

“This is my 2nd favorite Chinese Buffet. The one that beats it is in Zanesville, Ohio. The food trays are filled/refilled frequently so everything is generally fresh and tasty. And if anything is running low, the service staff responds promptly to meet your needs. As an added benefit, prices are reasonable and competitive for the area.“

“Liu's Garden has some of the best Chinese food in Central Jersey. They have an expanded menu with nice mixture of meat and vegetarian options. There online ordering is good in capturing most of the menu and allows for additions or changes. There is a small convenience fee for online orders though.“

“Very good food, I ordered lots of Chinese food and not happy UNTIL House of Fortune! The lady who takes orders is very nice, and I love the service, and the food! This is my number 1 for now. Order from House of Fortune you will be happy. 5 Big Stars! Love the sweet and sour chicken!“

“Saved the day many times during the Covid shutdown. Great food and great friendly service, thank you!!!!!“

“Good food and good prices. Over 200 choices on their menu!
Extra kudos for the friendly service provided by Cindy! She clearly wants the customers to leave happy.

Parking: There is a huge parking lot in front of the restaurant.“

“Delicious Chinese food! I went there for lunch today. I recommend the orange chicken which was a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavor. The 2nd best was the Grilled Bourbon Chicken. The Chicken and Broccoli was also a very delicious choice with nice brown sauce. The BBQ pork was as good as NY China town.“

“Little corner take out spot back in a strip mall. A few tables where you can eat. There is no real ambiance, but the people are very friendly and the food is very good. Some places fried rice is oily, but not theirs. It's very good and favorable. You actually have to try it for yourself. I don't believe you'll be disappointed... Remember, it's not the astetics of the building, but the quality of the food. The cleanliness of the place serving me and friendliness of the people making my food for me. ??????????“

“Best Chinese food around! I called by phone and the woman that took my order was so friendly. I was surprised that they had general tso tofu and scallion pancakes (it wasn’t on the menu, but it was available to order).Everything was piping hot, fresh, delicious, and prepared quickly! Ming’s Garden, you have a new customer :)“

“Very tasty. Quite authentic. Enjoyed very much.“

“This restaurant is obviously one of the coolest restaurants in the region. Always when I come there I am incredibly happy. They maintain their very high standard service and the topmost level of cooking they give. You always win with this restaurant. Highly recommended.“

“Our GOTO for Chinese takeout. The food is usually very good (occasionally, I’m guessing whoever cooks) it could be a little different than what we’re used to. Their portions are very generous, the service is good and it’s always hot. We’ve been going here for years! I would definitely recommend it for good Chinese takeout.

Parking: It’s in a small shopping center. No problem during the week. But o. Weekends it can be difficult to get a spot nearby.“

“I can be a very picky eater when it comes to Chinese food. I love general tso, but few places make it right. The sauce is flavorful with a very mild kick to it. A kick, I have never tasted before but was always told it's supposed to be there if the sauce was made right. The chicken was cooked just the way I like it. Soft on the inside with a bit of a crisp on the outside.“

“My husband and I were craving Indian so we decided to try this place. Firstly, picking up it was the nicest customer service. The man was so personal and friendly, it was like walking into a family restaurant. He gave me a tea, some yummy dessert and he didn’t even want to accept money for it.

Secondly, we devoured everything. It was all so delicious and it filled us all up. We got three things but the chicken tikka was amazing.

Overall, I would highly recommend ordering from here. You won’t be disappointed.“

“The BEST gluten-free chinese food you will find in NJ! It's worth driving to.

I've never had any issues eating here and I am very sensitive to gluten.

The food tastes great, the service is very good, and the prices are reasonable.“

“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.“

“Went in for a quick lunch, love the fact that they gave me miso soup with my general Tsao's Tofu! Great real Chinese vibe, serve the fried noodles with hot mustard and Sweet sauce! I will definitely be back. I was discouraged though because the online prices said lunches were nine dollars then when we got there they were all $11 still a decent price& a good portion. My boyfriend had the shrimp with Chinese vegetables and the shrimp were nice.“

“Speaking from a native point of view, UJ is probably as close to authentic tasting (cooking techniques, sauces etc) for Chinese American cuisine. Currently it is my go to for Chinese food in the area...food is cooked well, not too heavy, high quality ingredients, lots of attention to detail in their dishes. Just comparing the fried rice that comes with the combos, you'll find it superior to any other Chinese restaurants' equivalent in their combos. I've only ordered take out, but they do have a dining room. The service has always been prompt and friendly with lots of staff working. The other huge plus is that it's probably the only restaurant in the area that closes the latest.“

“Very relaxing, quiet atmosphere, classy . Not a fast food place. Family run.... Excellent food. Had a shrimp dish. Lots of shrimp and vegetables . They had run out of asparagus but friend had chicken and green beans instead. Soup very tasty. Prices reasonable . Excellent dining in experience. A wide variety of food. Very nice owners, they try to accommodate. Brown rice is an option. Healthy food.“

“Asian Fun never disappoints! While my son has his staple Chicken and Broccoli, whenever I try different dishes they are always good. The service is fast and friendly when we go to pick-up.“

“The food was well priced and is stated correctly on signs. Food was great after a long day of wondering the mall. The staff is by far the best part. Kind, considerate, patient, helpful, and amazing service with great smiles and laughs. Thank you!!!“
