50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Hackensack

“Had an amazing experience at this PF Changs, our server Greg was extremely attentive and friendly. Love it here! Make sure to get the crab wontons as an app:)“

“We were in town from Wisconsin to see Metallica. The day after the concert , we were looking for something good to eat and found Dumpling Dojo. Looking thru the menu , we knew we had to try. AMAZING!! We had one of the best meals we have had in a long time and my husband and I like to eat. We go to a lot of high ends places, but as I said , this place was extraordinary. The staff very friendly and helpful. We had the fried pork belly , tangerine beef , shrimp dumplings, fried shrimp and ramen noodle. And for desert , out of the world raspberry cheese cake wontons with whipped cream and fruit garnish. Nothing was too spicy but so flavorful. Again , you really need to try this place. Thank You !!“

“I called at the last minute before closing and I just couldn’t believe everything I got was freshly made . Thank you so much I truly enjoyed everything . It was so delicious. I recommend your place as I was very happy with my food . Thank again“

“Not only it’s a food amazing and I hate when they’re closed… I don’t even order from anywhere else except for this place! But as I was saying, not only is the food amazing but I believe they have two delivery people. I forgot the other one’s name but the one that I communicate most with and have actual conversations with for the past few years is named Jacob. He is just a breath of fresh air. I feel so great after speaking to him, so it’s on a whole it’s like the whole package I will never order from any other place than this one ❤️“

“The best Chinese restaurant in the area. My partner and I order from here at least once a month. It is so fresh and consistent every single time. I order the steamed crystal shrimp dumplings all the time. Some of our faves are: hot & spicy beef, fried chicken wings, and general tso chicken.“

“Lotus Cafe in Hackensack is illegal levels of good. Pork fried rice was smoky and greasy in a soul-healing way, shrimp lo mein had perfect noodle bounce, and the boneless spare ribs were basically candy. The pork egg roll was thick, crispy, and loud, and the General Tso’s chicken? Crispy, saucy, sweet-heat chaos done right.

Big portions, zero misses. This place doesn’t just serve Chinese food—it asserts dominance. 🥡🔥“

“Our go to Chinese food place for 30 years. Probably not the best Chinese food on Earth but damn good, consistently. Sometimes I think I forget how good this place is when I go to some other place and the food is greasy and just not up to par. Really I highly recommend if you're just looking for some quick Chinese food you can't go wrong“

“Their food has potential to be great. My only peeve... it can be on the salty side... at times, overpowering the dish itself. I want to give the new owners (prior owners' family) 5 stars, but I seriously can't with the amount of salt being used. If they create a healthy balance of salt utilization, I'll bump the star rating up.“

“The Hot & Sour Soup is hardy and delicious at a great price!!!! The service is exceptional. The veggie low mien is also amazing. Love this place.“

“Really enjoyed our meal at CHI Restaurant & Bar! We tried the cucumber salad, spring roll trio, black garlic octopus, truffle beef tenderloin, mashed eggplant with peppers, and stir-fried cabbage with pork. The crispy cereal prawns with golden egg silk were a highlight—a fun combination of shrimp and crunchy toppings.

Save room for dessert! The milk tea cloud cake was adorable, and the raspberry lychee tart topped with colorful macarons was almost too cute to eat. A lovely spot to share several dishes with friends!“

“Local favorite. Can’t go wrong. It’s not cheap, but worth it. I’d pass on the scallion pancakes. They barely have scallion or scallion flavor. But my main gripe is please hire competent behind the POS. Why am I asking 2 and 3 times if an order was received? Why are you answering “hello?” Instead of Handpulled Noodle? And why are you saying the restaurant is on 148th? Lol it’s in on Broadway between 148th and 149th. Just a very bizarre experience on a Friday night.“

“Great experience, great food, great hospitality“

“Had a fantastic first experience at Corner Chinese!“

“Ottimo ristorante di Ramen (giapponese e non quello "tarocco" o fatto con quello istantaneo del supermercato) che offre anche una fantastica selezione di ravioli. Prezzi tutto sommato accettabili per la media della città e acqua gratuita. Posto piccolo, accogliente, staff cordiale e velocissimo. Porzioni corpose quindi ordinate con cautela o non riuscirete a finire tutto.“

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

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

“First of all the food was great! There are definitely some items of the menu that weren’t my favorite. My prawn was missing my green pepper relish (maybe I didn’t get any but I tried my friends dish and they got some). They managed to mask the “seafood” feel of the prawn using the thinly sliced radish, which I think is super interesting!! The stand out dish for me definitely was the trout with xo sauce (house made). The trout melted in your mouth and the sauce was fatty with a nice umami spice. The egg custard was also very smooth with the buttery uni on top and a thin layer of abalone on the bottom. Moving to dessert! The peach sorbet was quite refreshing and was definitely the move to have before the heavier sesame cake. The sesame cake was definitely a hit or miss for our group. I personally liked the sweet and salty pairing, but I can see why it could be hard to palate. If you pair the tuile, cake and the red bean ice cream together the flavors balance out quite nicely. Though I would say that you can feel a bit of the grease from the buttercream (if it is buttercream or Italian meringue icing).

The dishes I wasn’t so fond of were the congee and the beef - mainly because the congee was a bit too salty for me, but I will say that the scallop add on did help make the dish feel more full and balanced. The congee I can see people liking since it has that classic salted egg taste, but usually when I think of salted eggs there is watery congee paired with it. The dish didn’t have anything to balance the saltiness unless you added the scallop. The beef was extremely tender (wow) but the dish overall was very one toned in flavor. The beef and noodle were underwhelming since the one note you taste is similar to chili oil spice.

Overall the menu was well crafted and well ordered! I am still thinking about the trout to this day… also the music choices were interesting to say the least. I laughed when they played Gong Xi Fa Cai (a Chinese rap song). Had good food and better company :-)

Final note: I would say the portions were bigger than you expect and you will be full (at least for my group). Price point was okay for the enjoyment I’ve had for this meal. Overall a cool experience but would only come back for the trout.“

“I went there during the rush hour (7pm dinner time) but even still i was greeted and welcomed. I ordered the chicken steamed dumplings and general tso chicken. The dumplings with the sauce on the side tasted divine and the chicken was delicious. Nothing to complain at all everything was good.“

“This was a fun experience and a new sort of food for me -- sichuan soups and stir fry bowls. I liked the hot sliced fish pot the best, full of veggies and spice. The steamed chicken with chili sauce kind of creeped me out. Great deal and efficient service! Looks like everyone gets bubble tea next door -- will make note for next time 🤪
But the free Thai tea is amazing.“

“​The beef noodle soup was fantastic—flavorful with just the right spicy kick and not greasy at all. The food came out remarkably fast, and the staff was super friendly. Highly recommend for a satisfying, hearty meal. 100% coming back!“

“Ate there yesterday for the first time. What a find! The food is excellent, staff is wonderful, pricing is great. I loved how clean everything was. Enjoy!“

“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 😄😛😋“

“Best First Date Place in NYC 🩷“

“Tasty food with superb prices as well as attentive, friendly service. delectable soup dumplings with juicy tender meat wrapped in a chewy doughy wrapper are so appetizing.... I also love the location of the restaurant.“

“I great food and service. High quality land authentic.“

“Everything is good“

“We weren’t quite sure what to order and Rakesh took care such good care of us by making the most wonderful recommendations. The food is the most delicious Indian food I have ever had, the atmosphere is amazing and the staff is so thoughtful and helpful. We will be returning again.“

“Blue Blossom is excellent for a pre or post Broadway show dinner! We truly enjoyed our dining experience as the staff was very hospitable and the food was delicious! We started with the Signature Bao Platter, which is a sampler of 6 soup dumplings. I really liked them all. For our main, we ordered the Signature Salted Baked Chicken + Hot Stone Braised Rice, which are the perfect pairing! This is true comfort food, in the best way. It felt like a warm hug. The chicken was so flavorful and juicy. Make sure to top it with the ginger oil they provide. The hot stone rice was smoky with just a faint spicy heat. I loved mixing the chicken with the rice & topping it with the ginger oil. The only thing we did not enjoy was the Martini that we ordered.“

“Really enjoyed my experience at Red Sorghum! The food was flavorful, fresh, and well prepared. The atmosphere was great, and the staff was friendly and attentive. Definitely a solid spot in LIC, and I’d happily come back to try more dishes!“

“Outstanding.“

“Consistent experience visiting Xi’an’s famous foods. You can order at a kiosk here and enjoy your food at one of the many seats. This place isn’t for everyone it can be very spicy, take some extra napkins.

Last time I was there I ordered the lamb dish. The lamb was tender and the dish was flavourful.

I’ll be back again.“

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

“Absolutely incredible experience! Everything from the food to the service was outstanding. Every dish was packed with flavor, incredibly fresh, and cooked to perfection. The staff was so welcoming and attentive, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. Easily some of the best Chinese food I’ve had! Can’t recommend this place enough, and I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“We had such a great meal at Pig Heaven! The BBQ spare ribs were so tender, flavorful, and perfectly glazed. We also really enjoyed the soup dumplings, Peking duck, Sesame chicken, noodles, and Mapo tofu. Everything came in generous portions and was great for sharing. The staff was friendly and welcoming too. Definitely a great Chinese spot on the Upper East Side. We’d love to come back!“

“I truly enjoyed the entire experience and while the food was absolutely delicious, Joe and team go out of their way to ensure ALL of their customers are satisfied

While my first time, but not last time here, judging by the number of customers who came in and were clearly not first-timers, how they do anything is how they do everything!“

“Delicious flavors, beautifully presented and light but filling. So good. And an excellent value. 11/16/2021: Update: I've been getting take-out from them over the last year and have tried just about everything on their menu. So good, every time!“

“just went there today during a day trip to NYC with my friend and it was amazing! lovely service, noodles and soup were great, and meal was a great price for the portions. i definitely recommend 110%“

“Really nice decor, if you’re in a group I’d recommend a reservation but walking in as 1-2 seems doable. Service can get backed up quickly so sometimes it takes awhile to order. But once they see you’re ready the waiter/waitress will make a point to get things moving for you. Food is excellent.“

“Food is always good we have come here for years. The Whole Fish Filet w. Spicy Chili & Peppercorn in Broth is one of my favorite dishes in the city. Other dishes we always get are cumin lamb and fried tofu both 10/10. And tea of course.“

“Check out my I G lawyer.traveler.dreamer for more footage of our experience. Bodai in Midtown Manhattan offers a rare and memorable dining experience. The restaurant blends Buddhist philosophy with royal vegetarian cuisine inspired by the Qing Palace. It was my first time trying a full vegetarian tasting menu, and I was impressed by how flavorful and creative every dish was. The mushroom dishes stood out the most, especially the Stichotas japonicus with cucumber sauce, the pan-seared boletus with green millet, and the Nepal mushroom quinoa with pepper sauce. Each course felt balanced and intentional—low oil, low sugar, and focused on natural taste. Even traditional dishes like Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and zhajiang noodles were reimagined beautifully. The dessert, called “Nectar of the Core,” was light and refreshing. Dining at Bodai feels like a calm, thoughtful journey through color, texture, and flavor. If you’re looking for an elevated vegetarian meal in NYC, this is worth a visit.“

“We enjoyed our visit on Thanksgiving Day. So many great options on the menu, looking forward to coming back very soon!“

“This was my first time trying Xi’an Famous Foods, and overall I had a very good experience. I ordered the N3 Mt. Qi Pork Hand-Ripped Noodles. The noodle texture was excellent—chewy, fresh, and very different from typical noodles. They are extremely long and a little heavy to manage with chopsticks, but that actually made me slow down and enjoy the flavors more. After a few bites, I started biting the noodles into shorter pieces, piling on the sauce and meat, and rolling them together. That ended up being the best way to get all the flavors in each bite.

The chili oil and sauce were the highlight for me. They were spicy, bold, and packed with flavor. I enjoy spicy food, so the heat level worked well for me. The pork was extremely soft and tasted like heavily braised meat, but it was okay.

The restaurant itself was very clean, and the staff was professional and helpful. The music was low enough that you could actually have a conversation without yelling, which I appreciated. They have a tablet with pictures of the menu items, so you can easily order and sit down while you wait. If you are unsure what to get or want to customize something, you can also order at the counter. The staff was great at explaining the different dishes, and when you order with them, they ask how spicy you want your food.

Overall, I really enjoyed the experience and would come back to try more of the menu, especially some of the other spicy noodle dishes.“

“I'm celiac so we asked about gluten free options when ordering. The staff were very helpful and the chef was able to replace the regular soy sauce with gluten free spicy soy sauce in many of the dishes. So we were able to order most of what we wanted from the menu. I'm writing this the next day and I feel fine. 10/10 service! The food was delicious! Will definitely be back.“

“Food was really good here . However some items were sold out by the time we reached . So to get more variety , I recommend going there for lunch as popular items do tend to sell out fast . If you like to try spicy food , new cuisines then this place is for you . Nice, cozy setup they have. Can’t wait to go back again ..“

“This is worth the hype! The atmosphere is nice and comfortable. The service is quick and the chocolate dumplings are a must! We weren't able to get a reservation but they were able to seat us once we got there for a table of 5 on a Saturday. Great service!“

“The service was fantastic. Our waiter offered advice when ordering for our group of 6. We ordered the perfect amount of food and it was all delicious! We ordered black bean style, garlic style, and general tsos along with string beans and fried rice. ALL of it was enjoyed by all of us from age 8 to adult. So soooo good! I wish we lived closer to come more often.“

“I came here with my mom for an afternoon lunch and it was such a good decision. The place is colorful with a very calming playlist in the background. The food arrived right away. It was fresh delicious full of authentic notes. We ordered two different drinks and we both love our drinks and the dessert was just exactly what I wanted. I will definitely recommend this place to everyone.“

“Man, I love this place. Mom & pop business serving up elite dumplings, noodles, and rice bowls. Service is super friendly, and the food is absolutely delicious. Everything is so fairly priced, too. I hope we keep this place around forever. The veggie dumplings are great, too.“

“Zen Astoria was amazing we loved everything we ordered the chicken satay the wagu the spring rolls as apps.Ghe drinks were amazing Zen Tini and zZen Star 🌟 We ordered the shrimp fitted rice Orange chicken n the pork Belly was amazing.“

“This place is the BEST, if you looking for delicious Malatang restaurant in Fort Lee!

And the lady who served for us was such a sweet heart and that’s the additional point!!!“
