“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.“

“We ordered takeout from B2J Fish Soup, and the experience was fantastic. The soup was incredibly tasty, and the 'mini' size with extra fish was more than enough to feed three people—it’s a great value. I was also pleasantly surprised by the fried milk; I had never tried it before, but the lady was kind enough to give us a sample, and I ended up absolutely loving it. Mild was spicy, keep that in mind. Highly recommended!“

“The environment of the restaurant was amazing! The aroma and taste of the soup was delicious and fulfilling. Definitely would come back again.
Customer service was great. It’s been a while since we visited and they have added several different soup base choices. We went for the basic chicken broth with fish maw, but will definitely try other ones next time.
All the hot pot restaurants in the area are all-you-can-eat, but this one isn’t. However, the quality of the soup stock is way better and the dining environment is quieter.“

“Hot pot is often very hard to eat. Our vegetarian family often struggles to find food not contaminated with meat or fish. At Mala Town, we were very pleased to see how thoroughly the dishes and utensils were cleaned. Furthermore, the food options were vast, fresh and customizable. This place is perfect!“

“We ordered the signature sour fish soup with black cod and it was delicious. Small was enough for the 2 of us.The fish is very fresh and we also ordered the crispy chiong ching chicken and it was also very good and has a lot of flavor. Dispite being surrounded in spicy peppers the spice level was good and has a lot of flavor.

The scallion noodles were fine, personally I thought it was a bit over hyped but for 6 bucks we were happy to try it.“

“amazing! great tasty stuff“

“Vegetarians, don't let the name keep you away: this place is a wonderful option. The soup bases are all vegetarian, as they proclaim on the very first line of the menu.

I got the traditional Chinese sauerkraut soup with two kinds of tofu. Let me say up front that very few foods taste genuinely novel to me, and I love all kinds of fermented vegetables. So the second pleasant surprise (after the great menu) was the flavor of this dish. I simply could not place it. Was it some kind of citrus? Lemongrass? No, the server said, it's really just the fermented vegetables doing it. I still don't quite believe it, but it was not a taste I'd ever ever had.

I am very eager to come back here and discover a few more unfamiliar tastes!“

“Really good food and late nights eats to be quite honest. It’s affordable to people going to Rutgers nearby and quick and easy to get to. Not too far from the yard and it makes it more convenient if you’re a nearby college student or just living in the area. Good eats I’d say“

“Been here a few times. The original location in edison (back in the day) has been my go to for tasty chinese... and I appreciate the spin off locations for more accessibility to good food. I always get (and always love) a few orders of XLB, chicken cabbage rice cakes, and rotate through their spicy noodle features. We had the kids with us last time, so we also added an order of sesame balls.

It's always fun to watch the staff make the dumplings on site, and their XLB is noticiely bigger and juicier than most other places. However, it did seem to fall apart more than I remember - it's always a bummer when they pop prematurely. I also felt their sesame balls could have been fried a bit longer for more crisp, and there was just a general smell of cleaning liquid throughout (authentically Chinese but clashes with the nice decor and stamped napkins & gold plates).

Otherwise a decent experience and most likely will continue to patronize.“

“Personally, I think this is the best hotpot place in this area. Its a small restaurant but it’s so cozy, the staff is so kind, and the food is delicious. My husband and I always start off with their Sliced Beef and OX Tongue in Chili Sauce ( it’s served cold but it’s so good!). We then get their hotpot ( you can definitely share one order with two people). Their spice level is no joke! - and it’s delicious. We also love their specialty drinks; they’re so refreshing and help cut the spice level from the hotpot.
The staff is so helpful and accommodating. We have baby, and they have always gone above and beyond to make sure we are seated comfortably with our stroller by our side. It’s one of the few places that we have found easily fits a full stroller next to our table.
We’ve brought all our family and friends here because of how much we love this place.
The parking space is a little small, but there are plenty of neighboring parking spots that you can use.“

“The staff service is really friendly and attentive all the time; they constantly refill empty food trays and clear the table promptly. The hot pot buffet is amazing, offering a wide range of meats, seafood, vegetables and sauces to customize your broth as you like. All ingredients are fresh and tasty, the atmosphere is pleasant, and the prices are affordable. It’s a great spot to enjoy a meal with friends and family.“

“Great food. The sampler dumplings are awesome.“

“Got the spicy chicken sandwich and fries and both were really good. The sandwich was crispy and flavorful, and the fries were fresh.. Everything came out fast and the staff were very polite and welcoming. I'll definitely order from here again.“

“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.“

“We discovered this restaurant through RedNote and came here directly for lunch. We ordered the pickled fish and fried tofu, and we would strongly recommend both—especially if you love fish and tofu like we do.

The fish was very fresh, and the soup was surprisingly light and flavorful, not oily at all, so you could actually enjoy drinking it. The tofu was excellent as well—it was lightly fried first, then cooked again with onions and green onions, which allowed it to fully absorb the sauce and become incredibly juicy and flavorful.

The complimentary cold dishes were also a pleasant surprise. The potato slices were especially delicious, even though they were free. We also enjoyed another cold dish with onion slices mixed with peanuts, fried tofu cubes, and black mushrooms. Overall, it was a very satisfying meal, and we would definitely come back.“

“I had a great experience at this Venezuelan-Chinese restaurant in the U.S. The food tastes just like back home in Venezuela, authentic, flavorful, and really well prepared. Every dish reminded me of that classic Chinese Venezuelan flavor we love so much. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was very welcoming. Overall, everything was excellent and I will definitely be coming back.“

“Love their Bento boxes!!!“

“This is a truly authentic Fuzhou snack spot. Their *banmian* (tossed noodles) is the real deal—genuine Fuzhou-style noodles. It’s the kind of *banmian* that only someone from Fuzhou could make. It’s even more authentic than what you’d find in New York.“

“Delicious Food, Outstanding Service! We have been ordering from this restaurant since it opened and it’s truly become our go-to spot. The food is consistently delicious—the taste has never changed, and every meal feels just as special as the first. The owner is the friendliest person you’ll meet, and the service is always top-notch. Our Favorite Dishes: Garlic Sauce Dish with Chicken and Shrimp: Our absolute favorite—always packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. Sesame Tofu: Deliciously crispy with a great sesame flavor. Dry Pot Dish: Spicy, savory, and full of exciting textures. Sichuan Hot & Sour Soup: The perfect balance of heat and tang. Red Curry Dish: Rich, aromatic, and satisfying. We’ve recommended this place to so many friends, and everyone agrees it’s a winner. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food and a welcoming atmosphere!“

“I heard about the Huaiyang cuisine presented at the recent US-China May banquet and had to come try out this restaurant specializing in it. It was very good, my family gives it a 11 out of 10, my aunties loved it especially. Very lowkey ambiance with a great elevated view outdoors to the bustling plaza filled with night lights“

“Authentic Cantonese cuisine!“

“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!“

“Was in the area and tried this place for the first time and really enjoyed it. Price was good and the portion size was very good! Flavorful and really tasty pork dumplings in broth. I appreciated the bok choy in the broth. If I’m in the area again, I would like to try other items on the menu.“

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

“Great Chinese food spot, nothing fancy just great food“

“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)“

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

“Just ordered for the first time from this place and I have to say , WOW....the general chicken was delicious and the fried rice was very good .
I can't wait to try more options because based on what I have had im sure im going to love it.
Sorry I didn't post any pics but ate it way too fast like it was my last meal.
Very good portion size
Very good flavor
I definitely recommend“

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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!“

“China Chen is the best Chinese take-out restaurant in this area. I try to come here at least once or twice a month. It is in a little food court inside the Forrestal Village (across from the now-closed down Salt Creek Grille). I like their beef and broccoli, fried rice, bourbon chicken and pork egg rolls the best. The service is always quick and the prices are very good. There is seating inside the food court and outside as well. Everything is made to order (the food is not sitting out) and is fresh and hot. The service is friendly and quick. There's a PF Chang's further down which I do not recommend (their prices are too high and their quality is very poor). Wegmans used to have excellent Chinese food, but not for the last 10 years or so. This is truly the best place in the area. Also, China Chen takes credit cards and there is no service charge to use your card and they do not have a tip jar out (I know a lot of people hate that).“

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

“Lovely restaurant. My wife was working in the area and decided to pick up some take out for dinner; 2nd best decision she made in her life, next to marrying me ?. Everything tasted so fresh!!! They did not half a** anything. Their eggrolls are a must try, extremely fresh!We are originally from Brooklyn, NY, so we had our share of Chinese takeout… so if we are traveling 30 mins both ways for Chinese takeout, that should say a lot. This place does not miss ?? Hits the spot every time.“

“Ming’s Chinese food is actually really good — the flavor, portions, and freshness are always on point. But I’ve got to say, I don’t love that if you ask for extra broccoli, they charge you for each piece individually 🙂.

Still one of my go-to spots, just wish they’d chill a little on the “per broccoli” pricing!“

“Highly underrated. Hole in the wall with a very flexible and competent kitchen staff. They accommodate a wide variety of requests from ingredient changes to sauce adjustments. They happen to be my mother's favorite Chinese place in the area, and she is very, very picky about Chinese food because she is so good at making it herself“

“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!“

“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.“

“One of the best halal food restaurant in nyc and NJ area. We go there very often and they have not disappointed us even once. The food is delicious and appetizing. Great customer service, Food arrives on the table very quick. I would definitely recommend.“

“We were a party of 6 plus a high chair. There was one other big group when we got there that was finishing up. We were served cold barley tea and it looked like they had water bottles and some sodas to purchase. My 3 year old can't tolerate spicy so we shared the ox bone soup which was surprisingly delicious. He loved it! It came with some noodles and beef inside. I asked for another bowl and the server brought over a small bowl and a ladle. The fried dumplings that had a mixture of pork, beef and veggies were good too. My husband enjoyed his spicy seafood tofu stew. We don't really care for banchan (sides) since the main dish is filling enough. They only provide a small container of kimchi but I didn't try it. The parking lot and restaurant is small so don't expect anything fancy. Seems like the place is run by a cook and server, maybe more that I couldn't see? Regardless, we were satisfied.“

“Food was delicious..nice size lunch portion and very reasonable pricing.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!“
