50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Cranford

“It's great-tasting, well-made Chinese food. By well-made I mean you're NOT going to receive food that's drowned in grease, or all mushy like it's been sitting in a steam table for hours.They have a great selection of different styles. All the standard stuff, plus Szechuan and Cantonese specialties. The prices are reasonable. Staff is very nice. I love that when I order delivery, the driver is from the restaurant, not some internet service.I used to think I'd never find good Chinese food in this area, until I tried Hop Hing. Now I wouldn't go anywhere else.“

“My favorite menu are Beef / Shrimp Lo Mein , very authentic!! And The Shrimp with string bean in garlic sauce is awesome too !! Cindy (The owner) is very nice and friendly. If you get hungry at late night, This restaurant won’t let you down💪🏼🙏

“Some of these poor eating comments are ridiculous. I’ve eaten Chinese food all over Jersey and this place tops them all. I don’t care about the atmosphere or customer service! The food at this restaurant is the best. Best Chinese food restaurant I’ve eaten at. I moved out of the area and I can’t find a Chinese restaurant that’s as good as this one. When I’m in the mood for Chinese I just take a 30 minute ride and it’s worth it!!“

“Fresh ingredients- super tasty. Steamed tofu and veggies with scallion ginger sauce, veggie steamed dumplings and chicken and broccoli are favorites at our house!“

“We have ordered delivery from Hunan Wok Cranford for twenty years at least. This is literally the ONLY Chinese takeout my husband will eat. The taste and quality of their food has been consistent since we started eating from here. We love them and always will, so much so that we moved Bridgewater over a year ago and we STILL only get Chinese take-out from here.“

“Great food here! I had to drive 40 minutes to get here, but the food makes it worth it! The service is great, the fish is excellent, and the atmosphere is friendly. The restroom is clean, but the only problem is the opening hour is a bit late. Overall, great experience. Would definitely come back again. Possibly the best fish soup in NJ.“

“amazing! great tasty stuff“

“Randomly found this place after food shopping one night and its officially our fav spot ! They open late til 1230am ! Jay and his staff members are very welcoming and friendly. Told us their special dishes and what to come back to try next time! We got their green peppercorn broth with snakehead fish recommended by Jay and boy it hit the spot! U can add on toppings and it comes with rice! We enjoyed it so much we are already planning our next late night visit and plan to take the fam here!“

“I highly recommend Ugly Dumpling because of the delicious and affordable food options they have. Excellent customer service received from Gregory D!! He is absolutely an amazing server!! We will be coming back for more!! Awesome ambiance, beautiful decors, hip music and amazing servers. I also would like to give extra thanks to Miller... Overall, we are so happy with the whole experience!! 5 stars out of 5!!“

“We have been going to the Magic Grill for over 30 years. It is quick - if you want but never rushed if you don't. We love that everyone gets to select their own ingredients from 3 meats- chicken, pork , beef- super thinly sliced-12 or so vegetarian choice- zucchini, bok choy, onions, carrots, pineapple, peppers, baby corns, chives and a variety of sauces to suite every taste.“

“This restaurant not only has wonderful staff. Friendly and attentive. They're accuracy when taking and doing orders is impeccable. The quality of the food and the price is just great. I thank the owners for their kindness and willing to take any feedback to better their business. I respect that. I am a forever customer. Thank you to both owners for great food!! Their bobba teas are cheap and yummy.“

“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.“

“Best dumplings and strawberry lemonade tea ever!!<3. I definitely recommend this place. 谢谢😌“

“Such an underrated gem - came here for a random weekend lunch and was blown away by good the food was. Very authentic Chinese food. I highly recommend the the beef tripe appetizer if looking something less common, otherwise, if not as adventurous the beef noodle soup is solid as well.“

“I live in Roselle Park. first time ordering from Lin's garden I had fried dumplings and a combination of beef and broccoli something simple but yeah very good I have to say I would definitely recommend this place nice flavoring and decent pricing.“

“I was at first excited when Dao Madison moved into town and even more excited when I was told they can accommodate gluten free as I have celiac. After several miss steps with mixed up orders, Dao is now cooking on all cylinders. We recently were there with friends and everyone loved it. Moreover, they have successfully accommodated my need to eat gluten free (I have celiac) several times, and have been pro active in suggesting what is easier and safer to make gluten free. This place is a gem.“

“My favorite place to get bbq chicken wings from & shrimp rolls. The food is amazing here.“

“Delicious menu, centrally located with friendly staff.“

“First time here at the good “Panda China” restaurant. First impression? Fine addition to the community. The young lady that took my order was very pleasant. The chef seemed skilled and I must say the vegetables in both dishes (vegetable fried rice and lo mein) were fresh and full is flavor. The chicken wings were fried nicely and hard as we requested. This was overall a very good experience. We will be returning customer.“

“Absolutely love coming here! Every meal is done to perfection using the highest grade products. The boom of flavors takes you away with every bite. Highly recommend for a fun date night out when you don’t know what you want and the chef just feeds you.“

“Here's a great review for you guys. I'm not one to EVER reheat Chinese food the next day...or ever. My husband ordered from here for him and the kids while I was at work this past weekend. Not only did I reheat it after work and it was delicious, but I ate it for lunch the next day, too, and still really good. I think this was the first time I reheated Chinese food in about twenty yrs lol. Will order again,thanks.“

“Way better than other places in Hillside. Great service never rude or nasty at all very pleasant!! Good service goes a long way!!“

“Love this place, been there 3 times. The lady server is always very accommodating and sweet to my son and us. Food is always tasty and fresh. My son loves the food here. Is a small place but thats the charm.

Parking: There plenty of parking around“

“I had an incredible experience at Inches Bamboo Garden! Every dish we tried was flavourful and unique, from the veggie fried rice, manchurian and the amazing orange chicken. This place is a must visit!“

“This is the best chinese food in the woodbridge area hands down! My favorites: boneless pork, pork lo mein, hunan chicken. The hunan chicken comes loaded with veggies which I love and the sauce it's in is delicious! I order here once a week. Service is quick and friendly as well. I always order online for pickup. It's very convenient.“

“food was Absolutely delicious and everyone was very friendly! looking forward to going back soon!“

“Whenever I have a problem with bowel movements, I will come here to have a meal. It is more useful than Kaisellu for painless bowel movements. I come here every time when I have a problem with bowel movements. It is a very good place for bowel movements. Aila’s friends came to see me.“

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

“Best Chinese store in kenilworth“

“Food is good and reasonably priced. NOTE: Their website was hacked and they have not been able to get control of it back. If you order on their website it is a 3rd party that delivers and charges add’l delivery fees. It happened to me a few weeks ago and when I called the restaurant they explained what’s been happening. Call to order instead of online“

“While it’s Americanized Chinese food, you can still taste the authentic flavors in dishes like the mapo tofu and chow fun. It’s a great spot when you’re craving comfort food with a Chinese twist. Clean dining area and fast service, too!“

“I rarely eat Chinese food and I choose this restaurant when I have to eat. When I tasted the food, I was surprised by the taste, which gave me a new understanding of this cuisine. Quick pick up and very kind service. Pricing is very reasonable for the amount of food that you get.“

“Super delicious food recommended to me by a friend. The Fried Chicken Wings are the crispiest, tastiest and best I’ve ever tasted.
Great delivery service .
Most delicious quality food I have tried, fresh and wonderful!
Try it and enjoy!“

“I ordered from this Chinese restaurant for the very first time to celebrate the grand opening of my nail salon, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! We got Yang Chow Fried Rice, General Tso’s Chicken, Shrimp with Garlic Sauce, Chow Fun, and the Orange Chicken Combo.

Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The Yang Chow Fried Rice was light and tasty, the General Tso’s Chicken had the perfect balance of sweet and spicy with a crispy bite, and the Shrimp with Garlic Sauce was packed with flavor and came with fresh, juicy shrimp. The Chow Fun had a great texture and was very satisfying. But the star of the night was the Orange Chicken Combo—crispy, sweet, and absolutely delicious. All of our guests loved it, and several even asked where we ordered from!

On top of the great food, the staff was friendly and the service was excellent, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. This restaurant truly exceeded my expectations, and I will definitely be ordering again. Highly recommend!“

“Just started to order from here cause it’s a little far from my house but they were happy to deliver with no problem the food comes hot and it actually has taste unlike a ton of the places I been ordering from in the past so far everything has been great definitely my new go to spot“

“Awesome experience every time 👍🏻 Have been visiting this place again and again and never feel disappointed.“

“The Chinese restaurant we used for years recently changed owners, and was not to our liking anymore. This was our first time ordering here and we were very pleased. I placed an order online and was it was delivered 20 minutes early. We ordered the kung pao chicken (extra spicy) combo, sesames chicken combo and wonton soup. All were tasty and fresh. We found our new Chinese restaurant. Can't wait to try some of the other dishes.“

“Good food and convenient location near Middlesex campus. Great when on break between classes or heading home. Food is cheap and still very delicious not overly salty or greasy. I had the sweet and sour chicken it was well-battered and served quickly“

“I’ve been coming here since I was a kid. And for over 15 years they have never done me dirty. Their wings are so good and such a good portion. Their vegetable low mein is so filling and their prices are so reasonable. They are always so kind too. I recommended this spot and everyone who tried it loves it“

“EVERYTHING I GET FROM WOK N ROLL IS EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“My daughter absolutely loved the bounce house we rented. She could not believe we had this in our backyard! thank you so so much! highly recommended to anyone who wants friendly service and a great product!“

“We have been eating at this amazing restaurant for a few years now! Food is excellent...Wonton soup is not salty like other restaurants..Food is always fresh and not greasy..They keep the restaurant very clean..The owners are very friendly.
Best kept secret on Staten Island.👍👍“

“I’ve been ordering Chinese takeout back to living in Brooklyn for 20+ years. In almost all Chinese restaurant reviews, people always complain about delivery and how many shrimp they got. Just order pick up and don’t go to pricy places if u want to avoid being disappointed. I’ve bought from Madison Wok for 15 years now and never had a late order when ordering pick up here (usually 15 mins). The food tastes exactly as my local restaurant when I was a kid, so I can’t complain. For the price, consider how little you are paying for the amount of work and manpower going into it •• esp since it’s done so fast. Dao nearby has slightly less oil and flavor for a lot more money. I wanted to like it but just poor value since your deliver or pick up order price needs to support the wait staff. No American style Chinese food is healthy for you so stop thinking you’re doing something good by paying someone extra to do less oil, msg, etc. in summary, this is an old school place that gives you the standards for the least amount of money you’ll pay in this zip code. Not something to eat everyday, but when you need your fix for this kind of stuff. I recommend the pork dumplings, fried wings, curry chicken, wonton soup and any fried rice, plus the chow fun and generals chicken. My 3 kids never complain and no one has ever been sick. Sometimes I’m not crazy about the amount of meat but remember that I’m not paying $15 or $20 for a pint here, and the low prices are supporting a skeleton crew.“

“I love
And been thru a lot of Chinese food
But this place shocked me everything is perfect n u can tell they cook with there hearts cause its so fresh specially the jumbo shrimp I thought was Gona b flat from
Being in the freezer so long
But wow like fresh out the water
I honestly gotta say this place is the best I had in my life period
Thank you for the great food
God bless n hope your business stays the same forever 🙏“

“Excellent spot for multiple different cuisines around Asia. I can't believe it took me so long to try this place, it is excellent! The sushi was super fresh and they had lots of menu items that were very unique like the dinosaur egg(fried lobster with layers of avocado on top). The dumplings were outstanding. Probably the best dumplings I've ever had! And the prices are extremely fair, we had so much food we barely finished. Will definitely be a spot I frequent.“

“This was our first time trying Ramen so we have nothing else to compare it too. We saw this place had great reviews, and we both love soup so we gave it a try. I had the vegetable ramen and my husband had the beef ramen. We both thought our ramen soups were very good! Next time I’d like to try one of their Thai soups. Our waitress was nice, but she didn’t speak English well so it was hard for her to explain their various soups they had. We would definitely come again. I recommend Ji Bei Chuan in Edison!“

“My wife and I ride our scooters there faithfully to get our usual shrimp and broccoli fried rice teriyaki chicken on the stick fried bananas and a order of chicken wings ?.The presentation ALWAYS ?? GRADE A!!WE LOVE ALL THE UNIQUE FLAVOR PROFILES GREAT TASTY FOOD VERY FRESH..ALSO THE PLACE IS CLEAN WE LOVE TO STAY AND EAT THERE!HEY IM BOUT TO GOT GET ME SOME NOW BEFORE THEY CLOSE IM OUT!!!!?“

“The Butterfly shrimp is Amazing!“

“My husband and I recently moved to NJ and were looking for good Chinese food. You can't go wrong with Ms. Lin! Our food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Prices are very reasonable and we brought our own wine. We will definitely be back!“

“Casual take out Chinese with poor parking and a storefront that shows its time. Food preparation was quick. Food is fresh and delicious. My order is general tso chicken. As show in the attached photos, the chicken fills up the side of the container and is not layered over rice like some places do to cut costs. The portion is generous and I'm sure they just barely closed the lid. The chicken is cooked perfectly, lightly battered, fried to a crispy exterior and moist interior, I'm guessing dark meat which I prefer anyway. The sauce is tasty in this americanized version. The broccoli is fresh and healthy and steamed perfectly. The fried rice is excellent with pork, bean sprouts, green onions, and yellow onions. This rice was cooked expertly with wok hei, which is char, giving the rice a undertone of smoke. I'd pair this rice against that of upscale restaurants. Pork in the rice is abundant. Exerything in this order was fresh and cooked perfectly. My one negative is that general tso is supposed to have szechaun peppers and have heat, but this was sweet which is on par for most americanized Chinese eateries in the tri state area. As a visitor, I'm saddened I don't live closer to here as I would visit frequently. I do cook Chinese cuisine at home and can appreciate the technique and flavor in this order.\nOverall, excellent!\n\nEdit. This is now my third time coming here. The quality is consistently excellent. As I enjoy my lunch again I can taste that the oil use is fresh and clean.\nChinese has been my favorite cuisine since I was a child. For americanize szechuan, this is the BEST takeout I've had. I live in ny and come to this area twice a year for work. I look forward to coming here exclusively every trip. Last year I was disappointed to learn they were closed on the day I came (monday). If I lived local, I'd be a regular for sure!“
