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.“

“1 Walnut is a (not so hidden) gem in Cranford! Located right next to the train station. Family run business that offers great, fresh food, and great prices! Some of our favorites are the chicken and broccoli, sweet and sour chicken, and chicken with black bean sauce, fried rice, and egg rolls, although everything we have tried there has been amazing, and fresh.

This is also my (teenage) son and his friends favorite place to hang out and eat great food on a Friday night! They have puzzles, Lego sets and games on the tables. They even have chicken wings and fries!!

You can’t go wrong with anything you order here, and you will enjoy chatting with the family who owns it, they’re great people!!

The Best Chinese Food in Cranford!“

“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.“

“The portions are really generous — plenty of fish slices and side dishes, great value for the price. The taste is excellent too: the broth is tangy, spicy, and appetizing, and the fish is tender and full of flavor. The service was also satisfying — the staff were warm and attentive, the food came out quickly, and the whole experience was comfortable.“

“amazing! great tasty stuff“

“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!!“

“Best Chinese food we’ve had in a long time. We ordered the popcorn chicken and cumin beef, and both were excellent. Everything was flavorful and well balanced without being overly oily or salty. Even our toddler loved it.

The owner was incredibly kind, and we had a nice conversation about plants and food. The restaurant itself is also very clean and welcoming. Great prices. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Excellent cold sesame noodles! Everything is so fresh!“

“We love this place. Its not pretty, but it is delicious and the rice dumplings are my favorite. Essentially it's a Customizable, never ending stir fry with noodles instead of rice. They cook it on a grill when you put everything together, so not ideal for vegetarians as the grill shares with meat.“

“Wow! Really hard to put into words how incredible the dining experience was here. The service, beverages, & chefs tasting menu was an experience unlike any I’ve ever had before. The food was art & tasted just as beautiful as it looked. Thank you to the team for being so passionate about what you’re doing, and I look forward to returning again someday.“

“Beef Noodle Soup (8.2/10): traditional, flavorful, noodles were the best part

Wontons in Chili Oil (7.5/10): sweet and savory. It's good but the sweetness surprised me.

Overall: good ingredients, traditional flavors and recipes, solid place would come back again. ALSO GOOD PRICES

Edit: so good I had to come back for more. Beef soup with pork ribs 8.7/10. The noodles are so firm and the broth is so hearty and warm. Got beef scallion pancakes and it had cucumbers and some beef in it wrapped in a flaky crust. 8.3/10. Amazing“

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

“Went today as I was driving around. And saw this unassuming place. Had the suchuan beef noodle soup. It blew my mind, taste was unbelievable. As an Asian American who lives in Edison. I know my food. And this dish was great. Will go back and try different food t“

“My husband & I haven’t ordered Chinese food in a couple yrs bc it just kept getting worse, no matter how many places we were recommended. Even our OG tried & true (in our town) plummeted downhill, so we just gave up on it…. until tonight, when he said “I’m really craving Chinese!” I decided to google the best places in Union county & Trio came up first. After I peeped a ton of reviews, I IMMEDIATELY knew that’s what dinner was gonna be. Just picked it up maybe 45 mins ago & when I tell you, both my husband & I kept sayimg “this is amazing!”

Went with the black pepper chicken, bc how could I not! So many reviews mentioned it. The chicken is sweet, sticky, spicy in the best black pepper way, crispy yet lightly fried (almost like tempura) & that sauce mixed with the pork fried rice (with delicious chunks of fried onion & roast pork!)…. YUMMMMM!!!!! I’ve never had it before but it will be a staple going forward.

The pork fried dumplings were the best we’ve ever had. Filled with meat & fried to perfection. The shrimp rolls are packed with perfectly cooked veggies & beautiful, plump, pink chunks of shrimp. My husband said “that’s the best shrimp roll I’ve ever had. Usually they just taste like one note, everything in them blends together & it’s all just mush, but these are insane!” I got the large duck sauce bc no store bought ever comes close. The roast pork lomein hit HARD. The pork is succulent & moist, rather than dry as a bone and cut into teeny pieces like it is at every single Chinese restaurant we’ve ever ordered from. Absolutely delicious.

For my 83 yo FIL, we got his usual- a small order of bone in spareribs & I can hear him downstairs (as I type this review) telling his elderly dog “these are great, coco!” 😆

Last, but not least, I grabbed a homemade iced tea for my husband (thank you so much for throwin it “on the house”) & he sipped it down with a smile on his face.

I’m old school so I called our order in & she was the most kind, jovial, sweet as pie human. I’ve lived in NJ for 27 yrs now, and can truly say that this is, without a doubt, the best Chinese food we’ve ever had. Cannot wait to go back & try a bunch more dishes. But that black pepper chicken and these shrimp rolls will be a definite yes every single time.“

“Delicious menu, centrally located with friendly staff.“

“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.“

“Great Asian food in downtown Madison! Lots of variety on their menu and spiciness levels vary as well. You can order the food to your taste of mild to medium to high spiciness. Food was very tasty. Presentation was very nice too. Service was friendly and attentive. Interior is cozy with a nice ambience. We had dinner with friends in a weeknight and enjoyed ourselves very much.“

“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.“

“Love the food here and enjoy the experience. Will keep coming back.“

“Absolutely delicious! The noodles were fresh, flavorful, and had the perfect texture. Everything tasted authentic and comforting, and the portions were generous. The broth was especially good—rich and full of flavor without being too heavy. Service was friendly and quick, and the whole experience felt warm and welcoming. Definitely a great spot when you’re craving a good bowl of Chinese noodles. We’ll be back!“

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

“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.“

“Best Chinese store in kenilworth“

“i ordered the mala dry pot which is pretty expesnive at 35 dolars compareddd to other items. While the flavor isnt that bad I feel like they pad it up with way too many veggies and such; theres not that much meat which im kinda disappointed with especially with how much im payin“

“This place is always good. Sometimes there are small issues just like anywhere else but in general this is the best Chinese food in the area. I saw a false 1 star review from a few years ago, I know it's false because they stole a picture from a different (5 star) review. So I am leaving a good review to balance it out.“

“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“

“Today dined at this restaurant for my daughter's birthday and I must say, the food tasted absolutely delicious. The quality of service was top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff who made us feel welcomed and taken care of. What made the experience even more special was the personalized touch they added to make my daughter's birthday extra special. I highly recommend this restaurant for any special occasion!“

“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.“

“This restaurant is very clean and tidy, and the service is very thoughtful. Everyone looks nice ,feel very comfortable, and the food is also delicious, especially these two rolls are specially custom-made by the chef. I kind of forgot their names, but it doesn't prevent me from remembering their deliciousness.“

“The waitress makes you feel like your at home. She is so nice and always has a smile on her face. The food is cheap, and amazing on a daily basis. The place is outstanding and really decorative, so if you like places with lots of color, this place is for you.“

“I hadn't visited this place in over 10 years [out of state] and I must say it's just as good as is was back then. I used to LOVE going here and id just sit on my car and eat egg rolls in the parking lot lol. It's such a cute little spot with great food. Idk if it's the same owners since back then but still amazing !!“

“The Butterfly shrimp is Amazing!“

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

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

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

“If you’re looking for clean, fresh food that won’t drain your wallet, this spot is a great choice. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the staff are always welcoming. It can get pretty busy since it’s popular, but the wait is definitely worth it. Only thing missing would be fresh juices, adding those would take it to the next level.“

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

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

“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!“

“Just found this place and so glad we did! Excellent food, service and prices. They use high quality ingredients which is rare these days. Our regular place has downgraded their quality under new ownership and we had given up on good Chinese in the area until we found Kwongs. They will be our go to. Highly recommend!!“

“If you are looking for delicious Chinese food, I recommend you try Wok & Roll.

The food is delicious, a wide variety of options and a very clean place.

Definitely give this place a try it might just be your new go-to place for Chinese food.“

“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.“

“the service and the food was awsome loved it definitely coming back💖“

“I’ve been ordering here for years and recommend to everyone in area. I’ve ordered multiple things off menu and they have all been delicious, Food is always good and consistent. Staff is friendly and appreciative of tip. Chicken wings, fried rice , boneless spare ribs are top notch! Highly recommend!“

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

“Definitely recommend This restaurant food is so delicious everything taste fresh.👍“

“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.“
