50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Fanwood

“Best chinese food anywhere. After eating here I can't eat anywhere else, no other place's food compares. The food always tastes fresh and flavorful. My favorite item to get is the boneless spare ribs and this is the only place ive gotten some that tastes amazing.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“My date and I came here last night and everything was excellent! The wait staff was also very attentive and answered all of our questions and was able to offer recommendations. We got a fish and egg appetizer which was absolutely amazing, the sour and spicy black cod soup, and the osmanthus lotus root for dessert. You can order from iPads that have pictures of everything on the menu and it sends everything straight to the kitchen. It may be helpful if you speak Mandarin but it is not necessary.“

“amazing! great tasty stuff“

“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!“

“The entire staff was outstanding! This all-you-can-eat hot pot restaurant is sure to lift your spirits, and the wide variety of delicious options really whets your appetite. It’s the perfect place to enjoy lunch with family and friends. We’ve had a wonderful time every time we’ve dined here, and we’ll be back soon.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food. The sampler dumplings are awesome.“

“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“

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

“All the people saying their meals taste bad, my brother in christ YOU made the bowl?? 😭😭
They got flavors by the end of the line & if it dont taste good to you 🤷 maybe you just dont like it thats fair. But like claiming its the restaurants fault is dumb, the visuals do need a face life & could be lil bit cleaner every now and then, but it only gets messy when its busy busy. And even then, the tables are not sticky, floors are not sticky, so idk where people say its filthy in here. Yall are missing out if you make a bad bowl, try something else!“

“Absolutely delicious! I tried their freshly baked crab meat mooncake and the crab roe rice — both were incredible! The mooncake was warm, flaky, and filled with real crab meat, and the crab roe rice was super flavorful and fragrant. You can really taste the freshness in every bite. Highly recommend this place if you love authentic crab dishes!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Had such a great experience at The Crab House! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff was so friendly and attentive. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Definitely a spot I’d recommend and I’ll be 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!“

“This place is the most solid and consistent American Chinese restaurant in the entire New Brunswick area. Portions are fantastic and the food is always so hot and fresh. They are happy to accommodate my vegan partner by subbing tofu for meat in already vegan dishes.“

“Cozy shop serving authentic Fujianese comfort food, including xiao long bao, peanut butter noodles, wonton soup, fried dough, fried oyster cakes, fresh soy milk, green bean soup, beef noodle soup, and a variety of rice dishes.

The staff were incredibly friendly and made excellent recommendations, making the experience even more enjoyable.

With only about 10 seats, it’s a cozy spot focus on delicious, traditional flavors.

Highly recommended if you’re looking for authentic Fujianese dim sum and noodle cuisine!“

“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.“

“I have been only going here fro a few years now because I do not live in Madison. However the food is awesome here and the front of house staff is very friendly. It is hard to find a really good Chinese food restaurant but I can honestly say this is my favorite one.“

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

“Excellent food, friendly family business. Highly recommend! Best Chinese Food in the area!“

“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“

“Tasty Kitchen truly exceeded expectations! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The fried rice was perfectly seasoned! The beef and broccoli was tender with a rich, savory sauce. The sushi rolls and Kani Salad were amazing!
The wings were SO crispy and juicy Everything tasted like it was made with care and quality ingredients. We were so content and happy with all our food choices that we got and the variety of food to choose from is absolutely great!

On top of that, the restaurant and kitchen were extremely clean, which made the experience even better and more reassuring. You can tell they take pride not only in their food but also in maintaining a spotless environment.

I’ve lived in the area for about 26 years, and this is hands down the best Chinese/Japanese food in town! Today is the first time we tried their Chinese and we dined in! We had only tried their sushi twice before at a friends house and we loved it so we decided to finally come and take a look ourselves!

Let me tell you I highly recommend Tasty Kitchen if you’re looking for delicious, high-quality Chinese food! Definitely will be coming here whenever we are craving Chinese or sushi!“

“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!“

“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“

“The China Garden in Port Reading is a little patch of heaven . The Best in the area by far ! The server's are very friendly !
I ordered the veggie spring roll and was not disappointed, they were made to order fried to perfection.
If you're in the area it's a must , go to the China Garden. You will not be disappointed.“

“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 !!“

“Great food, friendly generous owner operators, generous portions“

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

“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.“

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

“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!!“

“Inexpensive - great for lunch - not crowded - excellent service - pot.of tea right away - Sat & sun jammed cause the Dim Sum is so extensive and delicious. Easy parking right in front“

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

“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!“

“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)“

“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!“

“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.“

“Excellent spot for multiple different cuisines around Asia. I can't believe it took me so long to try this place, it is excellent! The sushi was super fresh and they had lots of menu items that were very unique like the dinosaur egg(fried lobster with layers of avocado on top). The dumplings were outstanding. Probably the best dumplings I've ever had! And the prices are extremely fair, we had so much food we barely finished. Will definitely be a spot I frequent.“
