Szechuan Restaurants near Hackensack, NJ

“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.“

“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“

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

““Wow, finally some real Cantonese food in Manhattan! As a Chinese person, I have to say, it’s rare to find a place that feels so much like home. The fried vegetables were incredibly fresh and cooked just right. If you love authentic Chinese flavors, you’ll want to try this place out!” The dessert also delicious!!!!!“

“Be prepared for a wait. EXCELLENT FOOD!“

“The atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. The women sitting at the front is very friendly and welcoming as well. As soon as we sat down they handed us our menus and gave us time to decide what we wanted to eat and drink. I give them 5 stars !!“

“Everything is good“

“Was a walk-in on a Saturday night at eight, but this place is huge and we were seated within twenty mins! Noise levels on the lower end, even when the place was busy!

Our order was quickly taken by our friendly server, Jeevan, which included: Ginger Sour String Beans (nice and garlicy), Chicken Lo Mein, Veggie Fried Rice, Cumin Fries, Dry Pot Style (Chicken, and Tofu). Food was in-line with expectations and hit all the right spots! I wish it was a little spicy, and their 10/10 spice level is not that spicy! Excellent Sichuan food though in the UWS neighborhood. Menu slightly on the expensive side;

Will definitely be frequenting this place for their super quick service, and good food!

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly 😎“

“Best LoMein I have ever eaten!! The steamed dumplings with the Chili Oil was out of this world! All the food was delicious and full of dynamic flavors. Service was stellar and the atmosphere was so welcoming. A total must!!!!

Vegetarian options: yummy

Kid-friendliness: very welcoming“

“One of my favorite Szechuan spots in NYC. They are probably the best in LIC as mentioned in their name.

Only miss I’ve had here is the mapo tofu. Too much oil and had no meat.

But I would recommend the green beans, cumin lamb, dry pot. All delicious.“

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

“THE SOUP DUMPLINGS ARE A MUST-HAVE!!! I forgot to take photos because I absolutely devoured them before I got the chance, but they are so flavorful!! Truly the best I’ve ever had. Their shiumai and sliced beef & ox tongue with chili sauce was also very yummy!!! Will definitely come back here, it’s become a new favorite! ??“

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

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

“We have been coming to Land Of Plenty for years. The food is always fresh, with the characteristics dishes of Szechuan cuisine. Service is attentive and efficient, and the owner is kind. My favorites are Dan Dan noodles, soup dumplings and braised fish fillet with peppercorn.“

“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.“

“Yesterday, on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, we brought our parents and children to have a meal together. We usually go to Flushing for hot pot, but we didn't expect such a good hot pot so close to LIC. There are many special dishes, all of which taste good. The bell shrimp slider and egg yolk shrimp slider are both good. The medium spicy base is just right. I will try the spiciest one next time.

But what makes me come back is the great service. The person who served our table was Tao, who was very attentive and provided us with soup and vegetables in a timely manner. One time, the soup accidentally spilled. They quickly replaced us with a new pot of soup and replenished various dishes. Before leaving, we were even allowed to taste the homemade soy milk in the store. Not because of these dishes, but because it can be seen from these actions that Tao really cares. He takes care of our family with intention. He hopes that we can eat happily and not be unhappy because of accidents. He only observes such subtle things out of kindness. , the service is so attentive. This kind of service is no longer common in fast-paced hot pot restaurants, and I hope that this original intention can be maintained. Thank you Tao for giving us the opportunity to take our children and parents to enjoy this wonderful experience. We will come back for food soon. I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

In addition, the ladies and gentlemen in all the stores are very friendly. When passing by, they will subconsciously check the table to see if there is anyone who needs service. They will also say hello and say thank you for coming. It feels very friendly, like home away from home.

Thank you for your delicious food and beautiful hearts.

Kid-friendliness: It would be better to prepare some small children's plates instead of plastic boxes“

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

“I think Szechuan food can be very hit or miss. We've had some good tries and some places that are too spicy for the sake of being spicy. So I'm always nervous...but this place hit the spot.

There's a reason the sliced pork belly with chili sauce is pictured on the menu. Aesthetically beautiful and ultimately such a great bite. Slices of pork with a cucumber inside to be smothered in a delicious chili sauce. Could have eaten this dish ten times over.

We also got the peppercorn beef, which was a last minute choice as this wasn't on the menu we had seen online. The beef was great and plentiful. The soup itself...the restaurant is called peppercorn for a reason. It's super numbingly spicy.

Other dish we got was the crab meat sauce. I didn't care as much for this. I didn't realize the crab meat would be mostly pureed into the sauce and that the main draw would be the tofu. It was probably technically well done but not my favorite dish.

Finally, the truffle cauliflower was a dish I was always going to enjoy, and it lived up to my expectations. Super truffly, perfectly crispy. Such a delicious bite.

We made a reservation but for Sunday lunch there were plenty of tables. Quick service. Absolutely worth stopping in.“

“Good ambient Good food Great services love this restaurants“

“If you’re craving Chinese food, it hits the spot. I don’t think anything was standout but the portions are big because it’s family style. The dan dan noodles could have more meat in comparison to the amount of noodles it had. Some of the other dishes felt doused in a bit too much sauce. What was nice is you can ask to adjust the spice level for the food. Price seems about right and food came out really fast.

Went on a Thursday night and there was plenty of seating with no wait.“

“We found this location searching for places to have lunch, taste was great! The waiter was a little stressed and didn't have much patience when taking our order. It was a very new york style, but other than that place was great, taste awesome, and very quiet“

“Do not sleep on this gem!!!! I wanted to try a local spot while on vacation in NY, and I am so glad I stumbled across this location. The service and staff are amazing, the food is delicious. I loved the small details like the design on the napkin, and I didn't have to wait to be seated. I wish I could have brought the jasmine tea back to my hotel. I will be coming back to this location on my next visit to NY!“

“I have to eat a meat free meal so I ordered the tofu with mixed vegetables. I requested that the tofu be steamed and come with a brown sauce on the side, for dipping purposes. The vegetables have little taste, but the tasty sauce made up for that. It comes with a choice of white or brown rice.“

“Would give 3.5 stars. The beef lo mein was good. The chicken and broccoli was good, but it didn’t taste like what I expected. The scallion pancakes I would absolutely not order again. There were hardly any scallions and the pancakes had a styrofoam like texture which was super off putting.“

“First of all, Jesse deserves a raise. She’s incredible and has served me, my partner, my mother, father, and friend. This is to Jing Lee management - give her that promotion!!!

Secondly, the food is DELICIOUS. It’s rare that multiple people in my life agree on how tasty the food is. The cumin lamb is spicy and covered in distinct, flavorful spices. The crunch of the seasons green beans and the spicy aftertaste is ?.“

“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.“

“Truly Sichuan catered a party I had for 30 people. Renee the owner made the planning process completely stressless. We had the soup dumplings (all guests agreed the best we ever had) and the rest of the food was fresh and so yummy! Almost everyone asked me where the restaurant was because it was the best Chinese food they ever had. The food, Renee and the rest of the staff makes this one of the best gems in Bergen county!!“

“Food is good. Could be cleaner though.“

“great service excellent food“

“Amazingly fresh tasty food!“

“Been coming once a week for a month now and it’s been great. Food is consistently very good and the service is awesome. The woman who works day shift is such a sweetheart. I’ve also ordered delivery a couple times. Safe to say this is my new favorite Chinese food spot in the area.“

“The food is good but the delivery fee was kind of pricy. 0.8 mile, $9 delivery fee for $39 food. No receipt attached the delivery lady just told me how much is the total. Kind of surprised by it. Next time I think I’ll just order to go. Lol couldn’t afford the delivery fee plus tip“

“Hunan Kitchen on Lexington Avenue offers an exceptional dining experience. The seating arrangement is excellent, ensuring comfort during your meal. The staff goes above and beyond, displaying friendliness and thoughtfulness throughout your visit. Today, I savored their sliced fish paired with white rice and sweet and sour soup from the lunch menu—a delightful combination of flavors. The dishes are consistently served piping hot and beautifully plated, adding to the overall enjoyment. On occasion, I indulge in combining two lunch specials, finding the ox tongue particularly delicious and refreshing when served cold. Overall, Hunan Kitchen is truly amazing, delivering outstanding cuisine alongside top-notch service, making it a must-visit destination for any food enthusiast.“

“I was looking online for a Chinese food place with great reviews when I first heard of Bamboo House. It’s only been a few times that I’ve been able to stop in since I don’t live close, but whenever I’m in Ridgewood, I like to get something to eat here. It’s tough to find a truly great Chinese restaurant & this place lives up to the hype. The portions are generous, the dishes are saucy & flavorful & fresh. What really seals the deal for me though is the service; they are kind & friendly in a warm, sincere way. Bamboo House has been in business for a long time, for good reason. 10/10“

“Outrageously good and authentic Szechuan cuisine, nothing else like it in town . Order the fish with tofu, it’s excellent.“

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

“Good food and beautiful decor. The service is very good too.“

“When I came in from the outside I thought it looked like 1 of those sketchy places you see in a strip mall on the highway. When I sat down I was happy too see that the waitress came quickly and efficiently brought the food out quickly aswell. I ordered the chicken fried rice and it was delicious. I would definitely recommend going here on a date. The only thing keeping this place from a 5 is there above average prices.“

“The best Chinese food I’ve ever had“

“Really enjoyed this Chelsea staple, but a spot that hasn't lost its sparkle. This is very good Sichuan food. Not the best you will ever have, but still very good.

Loads of authenticity in the menu, with fish taking a prominent place amongst a lot of options. They also have all your standard US-Cantonese American dishes.

Our selections were a Spicy Fish with Bean Curd Flower, sauteed Pea Shoots with Garlic, and Pumpkin with Scallions and Ginger.“

“Great food as a chinese carry out. The baby ribs w/ black beans sauce and the salt and pepper shrimp were tasty. Service was smooth and the people there were nice.

People complaining about the people that work here doesn’t know anything about their culture. You’re in their space, so y’all should respect them. It’s a carry out, not fine dining restaurant. If you don’t like it, go somewhere else.

Complaints about them not putting napkins and utensils in your bag? Deal with it! There’s a station right by the door. You can’t miss it. You want everything done for you? How spoiled can y’all get? They are workers, not slaves.“

“This restaurant is the ultimate destination for anyone craving authentic Asian flavors. Whether you’re in the mood for something mild or prefer a spicy kick, there’s a perfect spice level for everyone. The selection of ingredients for creating your own hotpot is incredible, offering endless possibilities to craft a truly personalized and delicious meal.“

“The food is so good.
The food is very good, we were delighted and I would return without thinking twice. It has no comparison with Chinese street food. I would spend the same and without quality, this restaurant is very good. I recommend it 100%.“

“I’m from this area and moved to Miami, which has no Szechuan Chinese. On a trip back to NYC, we went to China River based on location and reviews and it was TERRIFIC. If you are from NY or North Jersey, you know what to expect — spicy shredded beef, scallion pancakes, even delish basics like chicken and broccoli. Everything was exactly as it should be. We went back a second time before heading to JFK for the flight back to Florida.“

“Best Chinese around Sutton Place! And the lunchtime menu remains a standout bargain. Can get a little crowded at midday, but it's worth it.“
