Cantonese Restaurants near Edgewater, NJ

“Great food! Great atmosphere and great view of the city!“

“Great oyster mushroom and rice rolls“

“Great dinner, great setting, excellent service 👌“

“The flavor of this restaurant is actually not that far from what I had in China, and it's fairly authentic.“

“What a cutie vibey spot! If you’re looking for super authentic Chinese food, this probably isn’t the move but that doesn’t mean the food isn’t delicious!
We booked for a girls dinner and they knew their audience. Great moody lighting, a destiny’s child playlist, cozy booths, and lots of shareable options.

The staff was incredibly warm and playful too. Nico, the GM, was putting in the work. We saw him visiting every table and charmed the whole dining room. He even sent a complimentary dessert to our table.

Looking forward to going back!“

“I have been dreaming about getting rice rolls from here for years and I was not let down. The fresh shrimp rice roll was fantastic. I didn’t know what the sauces were I just put everything on them and it was amazing especially for just $4 ?!! Remember to bring cash folks! I will definitely be back the next time I’m in Chinatown.“

“We had a very pleasant experience on Sunday Feb 15 , 2 pm at Moon Kee. It was a party of 10 at one of the round tables, for a birthday. Some people were quite hungry, so we started ordering dim sum right away from the trolleys that were making the rounds. All of the dim sum dishes were excellent. The main dishes that came later were also on point: well cooked, tasty and quite large portions. Very few of us were able to finish our meals; many take-away containers were required. The staff kindly helped us serve out a birthday cake that we had brought in. My only small critique, which brought the atmosphere rating down to 4 stars, was that our table, which was the round one closest to the front door, would get blasted by a cold draft whenever the door opened. I recommend that they install some sort of windbreak entrance as you see at many restaurants.
Overall, a delightful experience, large quantities of delicious food at reasonable prices. Will definitely be going back, and will recommend to others.“

“Hey Yuet, don't make it bad
Take a sad Zhong and make him better
Remember that Har Gao’s good for your heart
You know that shrimp will make it better

Hey Yuet, don't be afraid
To make Lo Mai Gai with fresh chopped ginger
The minute you serve us crispy pork skin
Then you begin to make it better

And anytime you feel the strain, Hey Yuet, refrain
Don't carry bad reviews on your shoulders
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By serving Choy Sum when it’s colder

Hey Yuet, don't let me down
Don’t douse beef tripe with too much vinegar
Remember to fill up foods on your cart
Then you can start to make it better

So let ‘em out and let ‘em in, Hey Yuet, begin
You're waiting for tables to open
And don't you know that it's just you, Hey Yuet, you'll do
Cause our love for Dim Sum has awoken

Na na na, na na na na
na na na na
Hey Yuet“

“Good food with a price you cannot beat.“

“We found a new Chinatown favorite here… highly recommend! ❤️“

“It’s a cool spot for a quick bite! One of those quick lunches you can get while you’re on the go, in a convenient location. This place hits the spot for me when I don’t quite have time to sit down and have a full hour long meal but I still want to sit and enjoy my lunch, boom here’s my recommended spot!
I really do like how convenient the location is and I can be in and out and back to work in no time!“

“Authentic Cantonese cuisine. I was brought up in Guangzhou and these dishes here are the same delicious as the ones I had back in Guangzhou.“

“I recently discovered that this Chinese restaurant is offering a lunch special. We must maintain quality. Don't sacrifice the quality of our dishes for the sake of increasing traffic. Packed fried chicken I'll try the braised fish set meal next time. We hope to invent more cost-effective package options.“

“Thankful that the restaurant was able to take our reservation, day of, on Mother's Day no less, for over 20+ people. C'mon now, at a Chinese restaurant, this is top-notch service, deserving of 5 stars for that alone! The food was good - I do think SoCal (626) Chinese food is better, but it's right there and it hit the spot. Did I mention they took our reservation, day of, on Mother's Day? Good stuff!“

“Had dinner there tonight celebrating my mom’s birthday, good food attentive service“

“Incredible Food. Incredibly attentive and professional staff. Instant favorite.“

“Good authentic Cantonese food. It's really nice to have a place like this in Chinatown. Need to clean up their bathroom a little more, not having paper towels is NOT okay.“

“I work in a unit above the restaurant, so I've gotten food here easily over a hundred times.

The roast meats are all amazing.

The lunch special (to-go only) is insane value, just utterly insane. There are like a million options and you can customize your own pairings... I really recommend bitter melon + scrambled egg!!

Anyway. This place rocks, one of the most consistent (I've tried like 90% of the huge menu and besides one or two things everything has been amazing) restaurants I've been to.“

“Delicious dim sum and pan fried flounder!“

“A youtuber reviewed this place i went to check it out order slice beef rice congee and roast pork . Ask the roast pork to be fatty cut both i took home to eat and it was good.
The front staff was friendly to me and evan gave e extra bag when e saw me riding my bike.“

“Superb food and presentation.. pleasantly surprised to find this level service and food in Manhattan’s original Chinatown! Felt like HongKong❣️“

“Several booths inside from Cantonese to Korean. Fresh rice paste and many more delicious dishes.“

“Yao is such a hidden gem. I was researching Cantonese restaurants that could host a large party for a birthday dinner without crazy dining room fees and found out about Yao. The space is beautiful and they have round tables big enough to seat up to 14 people. They were very responsive when I called. Service was great all evening and they didn’t even charge me extra fees for bringing an external cake. They even gave us knives to cut and Tupperware for each guest to take a slice home. The food was great and I loved how comfortable and big the table was for my whole party. Also there’s a lot of Asians at this restaurant which means you know the food is good. Highly recommend!!“

“Great food great service. Nice price“

“Considering all the Chinese restaurant restaurants in Manhattan's Chinatown, Yin Ji Chang Fen certainly must rank among the best.“

“The food at this newly opened restaurant was excellent. My family of 15 ate here for the Mid-Autumn festival and ordered a variety of dishes- including a salted fish fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, pan fried flounder, etc. All were excellent. The service is standard. The restaurant also got really loud so it was difficult to hear across the table.“

“I came to Cha Kee to eat on a Saturday afternoon. There was no wait! If you see a line outside, it’s most likely because of the neighboring Mei Lai Wah bakery, which you can walk past and go directly to the counter inside to get seated. The restaurant interior is clean and spacious, with plenty of seating, though some tables are connected, meaning parties could be seated close together. We were seated at a private booth and quickly ordered. I had the HK-style milk tea with ice, and it was strong and tasted amazing. The hot version was also pretty good. I think the condensed milk addition really sets this drink apart from other types of milk tea, and Cha Kee used a strong tea blend, really making this drink perfect. I ate the baked spaghetti, which is my go-to at HK cafes. Meanwhile, the stir fried rice noodles with squid was also delicious and perfectly seasoned. I also enjoyed a side of the peanut butter and condensed milk toast, but I think it could use more peanut butter and condensed milk to make it taste even better. I would highly recommend Cha Kee to anyone looking for a traditional HK cafe experience.“

“My first time trying coconut hot pot and I’ve clearly been missing out! The coconut broth was light and sweet, and way easier on the stomach than a regular hot pot.

We visited on one of the coldest days, and the restaurant was PACKED. It’s located in Downtown Flushing, literally right next to Tangram. It’s also more affordable than other coconut hot pot spots in the city, with a heartier portion too.

Shoutout to the impeccable service — our server even helped skim off the floating oil from the broth (and made me want to buy that ladle lol).

＊Coconut Chicken (for two) 皇椰雞套餐 $75.95
They use cage-free chicken, and the pieces were generously sized with not too much bone. This portion was already enough to feed four. The set also comes with vegetables, plus your choice of rice or noodles. The coconut broth wasn’t heavy at all that we were basically sipping it nonstop.

＊Poached Egg & Beef Clay Pot Rice 窩蛋牛肉煲仔飯 +$15
You get a discounted price if you add their claypot rice to your hot pot order. It looked very promising and delicious, especially with the runny poached egg. But I thought the rice needed a few more minutes in the clay pot to crisp up the base a bit more.

＊Maxi’s Noodle Wonton 雲吞妹雲吞 $9.95
The price is pretty steep for just three wontons, but I love Maxi’s so much that I still went for it. The shrimp wontons were so plump and meaty.

＊Handmade Battered Shrimp 極品鮮蝦滑 $12.95
SOOOO GOOD I am a fan of shrimp paste in a hot pot.“

“It almost pains me to write a review here because it’s such a hidden gem for NYC but this is probably the best Peking duck restaurant in the city. The food is so authentic (trust me I was just in China). The other dishes are also a hit. Dishes are very flavourful without the heavy saltiness or MSG feeling you get in many Asian restaurants. The vibes feel very homey but the food quality is supreme. I think it’s family-run so I love supporting local business!“

“The flavor of this restaurant is actually not that far from what I had in China, and it's fairly authentic.“

“Awesome food, and staff was great“

“As a abc who cant read chinese, I asked them about their special menu. I also got soup with meal, as long as you are cantonese speaking you are treated as one of them. this restaurant seems to be a cantonese regular. You heard a lot of cantonese“

“Confused by previous reviews that state no one eats here anymore, as sitting here at lunchtime on a recent weekday showed a flurry of both delivery orders and dine-in customers. The menu is for sure pan-Asian/reflective of American-Chinese dishes, but also serves some specifically Chinese dishes, such as a few dim sum favorites that are harder to find unless you're at a Cantonese restaurant. Lunch special is a great deal with sizeable portions. Love that they keep the fridge stocked with desserts (believe some of them are from Vegan Treats?) and often have additional off-menu homemade items for sale at the counter or in the fridge, including ones related to Chinese cultural holidays. Always glad to support this small family-run business and have personally found their food to be consistent for the wide range of what they're cranking out of their kitchen! Hope they keep sticking around for years to come, as it's a great vegan option in this immediate area. Updated from previous review on 2026-03-01“

“Definitely one of the best roasted meat in I ate. Their beef with noodles are amazing. A must try if your in Chinatown NY.“

“This is our 4th time back to Xing Wong and the food and service continued to be excellent. We invited all 6 of our children and their spouses for a sit down lunch for a total of 10 dishes from beef and shrimp steamed rice rolls, roast duck, fish with bitter melons, chow fun, fried rice, general Zhao's chicken, Peking Pork Chop, Fried Calamari, and stir fried peapod shoots. My son the calamari expert proclaimed this was in the top 5 of his favorite restaurants. The General Zhao’s chicken was a bit sweet for my taste and we would’ve preferred dark instead of white meat. This was not a big negative as the services was prompted, courteous and warm. This meal left us with a positive experience and we’ll back for more.“

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

“All day dim sum & Cantonese cuisine. 🥡🥢“

“Good food and friendly service! The takeout and delivery services are also super speedy! They’ve recently renovated and changed the interior which we thought has improved the ambience. Felt like something simple today but will come back for more authentic Sichuan food when we are in a spicy mood for sure“

“Authentic Cantonese cuisine. I was brought up in Guangzhou and these dishes here are the same delicious as the ones I had back in Guangzhou.“

“The food here is absolutely incredible. I especially loved the homemade dumplings and spicy Szechuan chicken. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and the portions were more than enough. The restaurant had a calm and welcoming atmosphere, and the service was fast even during dinner hours. You can tell the chefs take pride in their cooking. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for quality Chinese food.“

“I love your general tso's chicken but the previous was much better. After you guys closed and reopened this week, the recipe for your general tso's chicken changed. I order it several times a week and am a bit disappointed. Did the chef change? Is it possible to go back to the old recipe? Old recipe: 9.5/10 New recipe: 7/10 Please go back!“

“Superb dining experience! I was provided a single table for myself without any hassle. The duck was crispy, generous portions, and the rice was well-cooked. I really favored the golden chopsticks and utensils. I asked to keep them but was told no, unfortunately. My only complaint was that it look nearly 25 minutes for the preparation of my meal.“

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

“The auntie at this cart pays attention to the details and does not skimp on the sauce, she used a scissor to make small openings in the noodle for the sauce to seep through to the bottom, giving a nice coating of sauce to every part of the noodles instead of letting most of the sauce pile up on top. Prices are reasonable as well!“

“Food and service is amazing!“

“After 40 years of going.. food and the servers are still the best! Love going!“

“Authentic Cantonese cuisine. I was brought up in Guangzhou and these dishes here are the same delicious as the ones I had back in Guangzhou.“

“Unique menu items that reflect traditional Chinese/Cantonese regional flavors. Fair portion sizes that won’t cost you an arm & leg.

Most special are their traditional soups with many beneficial Chinese ingredients that are normally found in home cooking.

Menu items do run out towards end of the day.

takeout containers are very well sealed and sturdy.

boss man is nice and friendly.

cash only.“
