Szechuan Restaurants near East Rutherford, NJ

“After a day at the dream mall, we chose this spot to have dinner at, it’s mainly Szechuan style and the dishes we got were delicious, highly recommend the pork shoulder, it was fall off the bone tender. The beef and tripe dish was ok for an appetizer.“

“Compared to a few years ago, a few of the menu classics from Kawasanja are still there!And then the surprise is that there are a lot of new dishes too!“

“Food, service & atmosphere was top notch. Highly recommend! 5⭐️“

“Fan Szechuan Restaurant & Bar is a fantastic find on the Lower East Side! Authentic, bold Szechuan flavors in a sleek, modern space with great service.🔥

The sweet and sour crispy jumbo prawns are my absolute favorite — huge, perfectly crunchy, succulent, and tossed in the most addictive tangy-sweet sauce. Could eat them every visit!❤️

Other dishes we tried were spot-on, spicy and flavorful. Attentive staff and cool bar vibe too. Definitely coming back. Highly recommend! 🌶️🍤“

“Food was great and the servers are very attentive, the place is welcoming, I l really like the atmosphere there. Food portions are large which is good. The cocktails are the best! I like everything from this place! Very recommend it“

“We went for drinks. They were serious about having the table for 90 minutes and then having us go. We were there at 7pm. It was for five people, they graciously let two others join for the last 10 minutes before we were to leave.

Paid top $ for my own drink creation which didn't hit the spot but their combinations sure do.

Nice speakeasy setup.“

“Be prepared for a wait. EXCELLENT FOOD!“

“I am obsessed with sichuan food, and found this place to be delicious! I was dining solo, so I was only able to try one dish, but the dry pot chicken was phenomenal. Juicy chicken, tasty vegetables, and strong-but-not-overwhelming spice. You will not regret a visit here.“

“Hands down probably the best Chinese food in the city. I could eat here everyday.“

“Antidote was such a great spot to have dinner on my visit to NYC. The wait was not too long considering there were 7 people in my party. We had so many items off the menu and the staff was very attentive to allergies and other food preferences. The tea smocked duck was incredible, the cucumber was amazing, the wontons were delicious! Everyone loved their dish it was absolutely a great dinner. The only downside was that some of the fish dishes were made with tilapia which is not a fish preference for most of the friends I was with. I will definitely be back and I highly recommend this restaurant“

“Great atmosphere, quality decor. Authentic menu. We wanted some quality Chinese whilst in NYC. Drinks menu great cocktails and Pilsner. Cucumber starter and BBQ Spare ribs starter are amazing. peking duck and the Chicken in blackbean and dry chilli chicken - amazing!“

“This was my first time visiting, and I was impressed by the unique seating layout , it made the space feel really interesting and inviting. I ordered the Dan Dan noodles. They were a little bit salty for my taste, but overall very flavorful and satisfying. I’m definitely considering coming back to try the beef noodle soup, the table next to me ordered it, and it looked absolutely delicious!“

“Hospitality AAA FOOD AA PRICE A“

“First time here food amazing will be back“

“Han Dynasty is one of my go-to restaurants for quality Chinese food in NYC. It is not a hole-in-the-wall establishment like many of the other Chinese restaurants in the city (not that there’s anything wrong with that). The space is large and comfortable, and the food is consistently delicious with very good drink options. The price point is also reasonable considering the location. I like how the menu specifies the spice level of each dish on a scale of 1-10, although I find the calibration to be more American rather than Szechuan spice levels, no surprise. But if you need a real hit just ask for an 11 and the chef will deliver.“

“We eat at Hot Fish quite often, and usually order the same dishes. I was lucky enough to be their "Tasting Panel Foodie" winner, and was invited to try some different items from the menu. If you want to indulge in an unforgettable gastronomic experience, you have to try the Fresh Striped Bass. I ordered it with spicy sauce, but there are six different flavors to chose from. We also ordered the Sliced Beef with Black Pepper. The beef was so tender and juicy, paired with onions and bell peppers in a savory, black pepper sauce. Then we ordered Dry Pot Cabbage, a mouth-watering Sichuan dish that you have to try. For our last course, we had the Yang Chow Fried Rice, the best I have ever tasted. Thank you, Hot Fish. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal, and the staff and service were exceptional. I highly recommend dining here when you are looking for a great Sichuan experience.“

“I highly recommend their famous pork spicy appetizer. It was our 4th times in this place. I would say their meat is high quality because you can tell from the flavor itself. This is our couples favorite Sichuan place. Tonight, we tried SeaBass Mala it was delicious but too spicy but we’ve finish it 😄😛😋“

“Everything is good“

“Chongqing Chicken is great!“

“Never disappoints. Excellent food. Always packed“

“This spot has an extensive menu, fantastic prices, large servings, and an inviting atmosphere! Some of the more American style Chinese items (Kung Pao, General Tzo’s, and fried rice) can be ordered and come out extremely quickly (our table neighbors order some of these items and they came out in under 10 minutes!). We ordered the Garlic Sauce Style tofu, Scallion Style chicken, and Chili Oil Pork Dumplings. Everything was super delicious and we would definitely order it all again!“

“The food is amazing. Very clean and cool vibes.“

“The atmosphere was very chill with excellent service. I felt welcomed and at home. The menu items were very authentic and unique. I had the century egg which was delicious, the umami and fermented flavors balanced by the soft burrata pleased my palate. I also had the honey string cocktail which was sweet with a nice heated finish. I was surprised to know it had black rice vinegar in it since the acid was mellowed out by the upfront fruity flavor. Definitely a must try!!!!!“

“Great food, everything it’s delicious !!!“

“Hands down probably the best Chinese food in the city. I could eat here everyday.“

“The food is consistently fresh and tasty. So happy to have an excellent Szechwan restaurant in a neighborhood where good Chinese cuisine is sorely lacking.“

“Delicious food, great staff, friendly service.“

“Shrimp with crispy peppers and peanuts and pork cooked in soy sauce with egg“

“Very good well done food.“

“Good food and a nice atmosphere. I do wish the Szechuan food was a little more spicy, but the dishes we got, like Shrimp with silken tofu, Szechuan fish fillet with tofu, Dan Dan noodles, and Green Beans was very good. Prices are a little high and portions were small compared to Flushing, but the difference was not extravagant, and for three people we were able to be full for about $90 pre-tip, which is respectable.“

“It's a quirky and inviting restaurant for cozy dinner. Highly recommend for vegetarians / vegans.
The Dan Dan noodles are must order and chilli oil wantons were also good. Staff will nicely help to toss and mix noodles in front of you.
Staff is really helpful and recommends food as per your taste.“

“Highly recommended!! We had a wonderful experience here! Such an excellent dining experience—beautifully cooked dishes made with fresh, flavorful ingredients. The space is charming yet refined, ideal for an intimate date night or an elegant family gathering. Service was warm, polished, and attentive throughout. !“

“I got the spicy beef noodle soup and the dumplings in chili oil. I thought the soup was decent. I would have preferred it spicer and there wasn't a ton of beef in it. The broth wasn't super rich, but still had decent flavors. One of my favorite things about the soup were the pickled(?) bamboo shoots. It was actually probably my favorite thing in the soup! The dumplings were really good! The chili oil was another star of the meal and I ended up added some into my soup for more spice and flavor.“

“The prices are fair. The portions are fair. The environment is minimal but exactly right. Food is delicious. Come dine in! You’ll love it and it won’t break the bank. The fried chicken and eggplant with ground beef are quickly becoming classic choices.“

“Great fresh noodles, good balance of ingredients, tasty soup base, efficient and friendly service.“

“You get honest value for your dining dollars. The meals here taste great, cost less than most places and the employees are nice. Service is good, no complaints at all. The flavors here are noteworthy. This spot makes social dining enjoyable with quality options.“

“First time here food amazing will be back“

“The food here is phenomenal! I wish we'd taken photos but we stumbled into this place while escaping the rain and were surprised (and a little cautious) after finding it empty (it was a weekday lunch in a more residential area, though 10 mins walk from The MET). I had the best scallion pancakes here and our group got homestyle beancurd and a chicken dish (I think it was general tso). Everything was perfect and quite reasonable for the area! I'd say this place is a must visit!!“

“LOVE LOVE LOVE OLLIE’s !! The food is always consistently great!! #LoveChineseFood Super friendly staff!!!“

“Haven’t come here in a while. I ordered fried meat dumplings and soup dumplings to start my dinner. The dried dumplings came suspiciously fast, and I was right. They were precooked and kept heated. The dumpling itself was nice. The flavor was nice. It was the texture that was a bit off. The bottom was burnt but not crispy enough. A few of them were broken and the filling was visible.

The soup dumplings were okay. It was steaming hot. The wrapping was nicely done, but just a bit too thick to my liking. The flavors inside were a little bland. I didn’t like it with soy sauce, so I asked for vinegar, and it immediately made it better.

For main course, I got an orange beef. It was cooked very nicely. The beef was cut into bite size, and fried until they were golden and crispy. However, a few pieces were quite tough and hard to chew. The steamed broccoli was cooked perfectly! It was green and crunchy. It paired well with the dish. The rice was okay.

Overall, it was a nice meal. A little more expensive than I remembered, and the food quality was a little not as good as I remembered.“

“Food was great. Good place to go for Chinese food. Ambience was normal, and service was okay. But the problem is that they have 2 menus- 1. Dine-in menu 2. Takeout menu and the pricing in either menu was different, takeout menu had a higher price and they had charged us based on takeout menu even though we dined in.“

“Spicy, spicy and spicy!
You will absolutely fall in love with the numbing spice and tingling of the Sichuan peppercorns.
Bomb level of spice paired with a very flexible menu is the recipe for a hearty meal.
Spicy Dry Hot Pot is their signature bestselling dish, worth the after effects of the spiciness.
The food will definitely make you come back again and again. I am sure to visit this restaurant once more pretty soon.“

“Really enjoyed my lunch at this place! The service was impressively fast and efficient, making the whole experience seamless. I particularly loved the beef and broccoli—it was incredibly tasty! Overall, I highly recommend checking this spot out for a satisfying meal!“

“We call this amazing little restaurant downstairs our “home kitchen”. It’s so cozy, with truly authentic Xi’an cuisine, the best in town, hands down. They’ve been consistently delivering top-quality dishes at such affordable prices for so long. The staff is incredibly kind and hardworking, and their food is always prepared with care and heart. I often come here on weekdays to eat alone, and it instantly grounds me, the comforting flavors make me feel right at home.“

“Always passed by this place... what a mistake. I was amazed by the szechuan food!!! The spicy spliced fish // the fish cabbage soup // bokchoy is so flavorful. It's a hole in the wall restaurant, of course service isn't going to be michelin star grade. but the food is authentic flavorful and relatively cheap for the area, and the serving size is impressive. will keep going back, will bring friends.“

“Such a staple. Especially for Szchzean fix.
Hot& sour soup, mapo tofu, fried rice can't go wrong.
Did have shots of namesake Wu Liang Ye now priced $20. Chaser Tsingtao of course. Deadly night drinking much water afterwards. But, when seldom comes, why not splurge.“

“Awesome scallion pancakes, hot and sour soup, and chicken fried rice. We eat here as soon as we land from Saint Louis each time we visit NYC. Staff is extremely attentive and always on top of anything you need.“

“the Food Is Amazing wait staff on point great environment. highly recommend this place to anyone that's in New York City“
