“They have amazing biryanis and authentic flavors. Good selection of vegetarian menu. Chicken 65, Apolo fish and tandoori grill are my favourite dishes in their menu. They take catering orders for small and big events too. Whatever the occasion they serve you with warmth and comfort food. The best Indian food in this Dayton New Jersey area.“

“The hot pot is deliperfection. Wait was less than 5 min. It wasn't crowded. I got to pick my own ingredients and I loved everything. Even got to try a few new things. Love this place 10 out of 10 Definitely Recommend!!!

Vegetarian options: Cooked to prefection.“

“Came to visit a friend in NJ, they suggested this hot pot place, the soup was thick and flavorful but during our meal we ordered a chicken appetizer dish which was not available for a while per the cashier, however we were still billed for the appetizer and never gotten the dish. They were great to took it off our bill but kinda shouldn’t had it happened. Over all the food was great but the portion could have been more. We had the beef and few other dishes the most memorable was the money pouch tofu dish filled with shrimps. I guess it is a pretty decent place for hot pot after all if it was always packed and reservation is recommended.“

“The soups at Nai Brother are amazing! If you like pickled flavors, this is the dish for you. So far, we've tried the house signature and the sour pickled pepper with flounder. I highly recommend them, and we plan on going back to try more flavors. What I like best is that this dish is large enough to share.“

“Loved the decor and the overall vibe of the restaurant. The food was delicious. Very good quality meat. We got the beef oil and pork bone broth and it was delicious. We also ordered the the house fried rice which was so yummy. The sauce selection was great too. Service was good as well.

Dietary restrictions: Not much for dietary restrictions

“The general Tsos was only ok, still better than many other places around town, but nothing to write home about. Their wanton soup on the other hand was fantastic and made me feel so much better (I'm sick) and their egg rolls weren't bad either. Overall the food was very good and I will be coming back.“

“amazing! great tasty stuff“

“I love this lil hole in the wall for my mini hot pot. I always order the spicy beef Szechuan and pair it with their homemade signature lemonade. Everyone I bring here loves it too. It’s a cut and cozy place to sit in. The service is always friendly and fast. Love love this spot. Definitely recommend coming here to give it a try. 2 thumbs up!“

“First time here and will not be the last. Accommodating staff. Wheelchair accessible entrance. Delicious snow crab and pork soup dumplings. Refreshing and perfectly sweet, handmade Mango Pomelo Coconut Panna Cotta Tea (no soft drinks here). Took a chance on the Shanghai Pan-fried Pork Buns, because it looked yummy at another table. So glad we did!“

“Love their Bento boxes!!!“

“Crab roe over rice was good but I wouldn’t say it was phenomenal. Maybe a 7.5/10. Personally, I would have like more roe and less rice. I’m thought the price was a bit high, but I guess I’m not aware of what the price of crab roe is…?

The Nanjing salted duck leg was not for me. I was not aware that it would be a cold dish and I really didn’t like it.“

“Great food. The sampler dumplings are awesome.“

“Pretty good Chinese food. Tried this out for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. Authentic Chinese flavors with a latin twist. The fried rice was the star of the show and the general cho chicken was good as well. Lo mein was a bit too oily and garlic chicken had barely any chicken and a lot of vegetables. Overall, pretty decent spot and will definitely be back for the fried rice … probably the best fried rice I’ve had from a takeout Chinese spot“

“Yue Wah Kitchen is hands down our go-to spot whenever we’re craving Chinese food! The food is consistently amazing—fresh, flavorful, and always cooked to perfection. Whether it's their delicious General Tso's chicken, fried rice, or dumplings, every dish hits the spot!

What really makes this place special are the owners. They are some of the nicest, friendliest people you’ll ever meet. They truly make you feel like family whenever you visit. The service is always top-notch, and they go out of their way to ensure you have a great experience.

We’ve been coming here for years and can’t imagine going anywhere else for Chinese food. If you haven’t tried Yue Wah Kitchen yet, you’re missing out!“

“After a couple of friends recommended this restaurant, my husband and I decided to give it a try since we were in the mood for Chinese cuisine. Just so you know, this restaurant promotes itself as an Asian Fusion spot.

Upon entering, we were captivated by the beautiful mural and hanging lanterns that created an exotic ambiance. We were quickly seated and handed menus. Two ladies served us: one handed us the menu and later delivered our entrees, while the other took our orders. Since we came during lunchtime, we noticed there was a lunch menu. Here’s what we ordered:

I chose the Fermented Black Bean Fish dish, which was packed with flavor and aroma from the fermented black beans. It had a perfect balance of sweet and salty, with the onions and peppers helping to tone down the strong saltiness.

My husband ordered the Dry Pot with fish, which was cooked in a spicy sauce and included shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, bell peppers, and a generous amount of dry chili peppers. The heat from the chilis nicely complemented the delicate fish. Both dishes featured fish that was lightly battered, quickly stir-fried, and remained tender without being overwhelmed by the other ingredients.

The waitress who handed us the menu and later delivered our dishes was incredibly pleasant, always smiling as she served us.“

“what an amazing Christmas Dinner, will definitely be back to try more of the menu“

“The food was so delicious. I had the beef noodles and the broth was mind blowing. I went with a friend and she loves their steamed pork soup dumplings. The guy taking our order so super kind and helpful. I liked the designs and drawings on the wall and the atmosphere in general. It felt mystical.

Kid-friendliness: The man taking our order was very welcoming especially since me and my friend were teens dining in for the first time. He made sure he had our orders correct and he answered very politely when being asked a question.“

“My favorite restaurant in Edison and a restaurant that must be reported almost every week.
Recommended dishes:
Free-range chicken (a classic of Hunan cuisine, the chicken is delicious when killed alive), sizzling squid (not fishy at all, with the aroma of barbecue), dry-pot beef brisket (not too bad, not chewy, just the right texture), smoked bamboo shoots and beef rice noodles (freshly fried toppings, full of pot flavor, personally ranked first in the Edison rice noodle category)“

“Walked in here unsure but left out very satisfied. I was greeted by a well mannered young lady who took my order. She explained the benefit of paying in cash vs card. The food was exactly how I asked it to be cooked. The taste was excellent. This was my first time here but won’t be my last.“

“I recently visited Sultan Wok for a quick meal and was amazed. Their half chicken fried rice and boneless spare ribs were not only delicious but also served remarkably fast. The perfect balance of flavor in every bite and the swift service made my dining experience outstanding. Sultan Wok is definitely the go-to spot for anyone seeking great Chinese food without the hassle of waiting!“

“This review is long overdue. I actually live in VA. However, every time I come up to Jersey to visit family I always order from China Wok. My family never ordered from here until I tried it out. They enjoy the food as well. We've tried different dishes and have yet to be disappointed. My orders are always delivery. I have yet to visit the restaurant in person. I highly recommend China Wok.“

“Pleased to find another tasty mapo tofu in the same plaza as another favorite.

I found Chef Ge randomly because I had first went to Xi-an Flavor in the same mall at noon. The person there told me they don’t open until 1pm, so after taking a look on Google and seeing a photo of mapo tofu I decided to give it a chance.

They serve a large bowl of mapo tofu over rice, which comes with a half salty egg. Portion size is nice for the price, which was 11.99. Note you can save some $ by paying cash.

Mapo tofu was flavorful and saucy, as I like it.

They have a large space with an entire other section that looks like it can easily host parties. I’d visit again.“

“China Garden is definitely one of the best spots around if you’re looking for affordable and delicious Chinese takeout. The food is consistently good — flavorful, fresh, and satisfying. When you pick up your order directly, the prices are very reasonable. I spent about $18 for two full meals, which is a great deal considering the portion sizes.

Just a heads up: if you order through Uber Eats or other delivery apps, the total can get pretty pricey with fees and markups. So if you want to keep it affordable, picking up is definitely the way to go.

Overall, a great choice for a tasty, budget-friendly meal when you’re craving Chinese!“

“Super fresh and delicious food, all tastes very authentic.

Our family went there for dinner and ended up having a great time. We highly recommend Traditional sweet sour fried pork, classic fried mushroom, fried lamb skewer, and the noodle soup.

My kids love the sausage fried rice so much that they were fighting for it. LOL.

We came in late but the waitress was so friendly and nice to us. We really appreciate the hospitality they offered and will certainly come back next time when we are close by.

Parking: Plenty free parking

Kid-friendliness: High chair available, very friendly service to kids“

“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 ??“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Noodles Time is amazing! I absolutely loved the pig intestines—they were cooked to perfection and packed with flavor. But the real highlight was the duck noodle soup—it was to die for! The broth was rich and aromatic, and the duck was incredibly tender. The staff is super friendly. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!“

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

“Good Shanghai dumping with ginger and black vinegar. Should have more veggies on chef special. Ok thanks“

“Great food and a pleasant staff. Best in the area.“

“Food is consistent and has lots of flavor. Always fresh and made efficiently. It’s a standard Chinese spot with limited seating and decorations but the food is delicious.

I have taken the food to multiple events and people unfamiliar with it love it. I hope they continue to have good quality and home style cooking.“

“The ma-la stir fry is the best I’ve had anywhere in the state. Recommend to come and try Spice24 in particular. I come every other week and have never had a bad experience.“

“HANDS DOWN.....my personal top 3 favorite chinese restaurant in jersey. no lie, everything on the menu is great but what i crave the absolutely most are the freaking meat freaking skewers. they're just so damn good. they offer the average dry rub and a super unique sauced version. i don't care to normally write reviews but i've been here every month for the past 6 months and i keep wanting more! high recommend you come here at least once just to try it!

it is run by a bunch of family members so the staff is friendly and super chill atmosphere“

“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!“

“I sent you message please check your inbox“

“Amazing food and exceptional service. I love the crab rangoon, sweet& sour soup, and general tso chicken. Everything was so fresh. The lunch special was quick and simple- I love how reliable it is to order from Golden East Garden. Would recommend“

“fresh great food light flavorful“

“The food was delicious and the prices are reasonable! I wanted to try another spot on a Monday because my regular spot was closed. They were very nice and the restaurant was very clean. Everything was made fresh to order. I would recommend this place.“

“Very delicious, a little expensive for poor students, but the taste is nothing to say. As the review said, the waiter always suggests adding more dishes. Even though we have ordered a lot of grilled skewers, duck blood vermicelli, fried eggplant, cold dishes, potted pork, rice, etc., we continue to recommend more dishes, but just refuse. Overall very satisfied ?“

“The owner of this place is the best! I have a food allergy and she makes my food without it every time, perfectly delicious! This is my go to chinese spot. Do yourself a favor and get the hot and sour soup, I judge chinese food restaurants by it, and this is one of the best around“

“I get it 3-4 times a week. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. The dishes are delicious and wide range of variety to choose from and very inexpensive and high value food.

They always make me feel at home and prepare food the way you like it.

Very highly recommended.“

“Indo-Chinese food is delicious. Very clean place and nice service. Worth it. Definitely will come next time..“

“Best orange chicken from Panda in Central NJ. Crispy, fresh, not as sweet and more chicken than breading. Also best Kung Pao chicken: spicy and more chicken chunks

Atmosphere is also nice: modern, clean and plenty of seating.“

“Just ran into them tonight on my way back from work. I love the type of sauce they do for their beef n broccoli. The rice is a little minced but I'm not tack any points just cause of thats.. it's still very fresh. I'm a chicken noodle soup guy. Start with the broth because you tell right away how it's gonna go. Broth very tasty. The chicken was fine and honestly the noodles were nice and al dente. I understand it's not an Italian place but that's how I like my noodles. Good stuff guys and I'll be back“

“We were planning a big party at our HOA and after trying almost a dozen Chinese Restaurants, that did catering, we tried Cheng Garden.
We knew we'd found gold when every dish we tested tasted like what we ordered, instead of all having one flavor. The chicken, beef & pork were tender and not fatty, the vegetables were fresh and crispy and the flavors were delightful.
They couldn't have been more helpful or pleasant to deal with and their prices were right in line.
On the day of the party, all the trays were ready for pick up at the specified time, packed in boxes and piping hot. One box was accidentally left behind and Cheng Garden immediately ran it over.
But the best part of all was that everyone loved the food. The party was in June and we're still getting great reviews and members requesting Cheng's address.
We're so glad we found Cheng Garden!“

“This is only the third review I've ever written in my life. First time trying here and regret not doing it sooner. Fantastic tasting food at great price.Egg drop / wonton soup, fried wontons and chicken chop suey was amazing! Our new go to place. Very friendly counter service!“

“Food is always delicious! We always order the Peking Duck ahead of time. We had the delicious duck, skillet fish, lotus root, shrimp fried rice, and dan dan noodles. Everything was cooked to our liking, not too spicy! BYOB. We had a 6:30 reservation, every table was filled on a Friday night. The duck is better than at Peking Duck NYC. Servers are really nice. Thank you!“
