“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!“

“Super fresh and delicious food, all tastes very authentic.

Our family went there for dinner and ended up having a great time. We highly recommend Traditional sweet sour fried pork, classic fried mushroom, fried lamb skewer, and the noodle soup.

My kids love the sausage fried rice so much that they were fighting for it. LOL.

We came in late but the waitress was so friendly and nice to us. We really appreciate the hospitality they offered and will certainly come back next time when we are close by.

Parking: Plenty free parking

Kid-friendliness: High chair available, very friendly service to kids“

“Pleased to find another tasty mapo tofu in the same plaza as another favorite.

I found Chef Ge randomly because I had first went to Xi-an Flavor in the same mall at noon. The person there told me they don’t open until 1pm, so after taking a look on Google and seeing a photo of mapo tofu I decided to give it a chance.

They serve a large bowl of mapo tofu over rice, which comes with a half salty egg. Portion size is nice for the price, which was 11.99. Note you can save some $ by paying cash.

Mapo tofu was flavorful and saucy, as I like it.

They have a large space with an entire other section that looks like it can easily host parties. I’d visit again.“

“The Hunan cuisine at this restaurant is very authentic. Whether it's the signature fish, braised pork, or marinated noodles, everything is delicious. The dishes are served quickly, and you can taste the freshness of the stir-fry. Additionally, the service and ambiance are both great, making this restaurant highly recommended.“

“Not only was the food amazing but the service was even better!!! It's a family owned restaurant and you can see/ sense that as soon as you walk in. One step in and you're feeling very welcomed! the service was fast and efficient making sure we had everything we needed before taking off. will definitely be ordering here again :)“

“I was recommended to this restaurant and I gotta say from the moment we went in it was such a pleasant experience. The atmosphere was beautiful, relaxing and the temperature was perfect not freezing clod or hot. The workers welcome you with a smile and are very kind and professional. The food we ordered was delicious! I was craving noodles so I ordered a lo mein, and a beef scallion, my friend ordered the eggrolls, the eggplant dish and we also had jasmine green tea. We got rice with our order and water. Everything came out to about $60 with tips. Definitely returning!“

“I love this restaurant. The food seems like it was prepared like Gordon Ramsey. I would give it 100 stars out of 5. I will be coming back with my whole family to eat there multiple times. The staff there were very nice and polite. There was a very nice girl there that gave me this image of the kitchen.“

“Service was amazing- Food was served steaming fresh within literally 5 minutes. Everything was tasty. Spicy dishes were perfectly spicy. Dumplings were flavorful, and egg rolls were very crispy. Meat dishes were pretty affordable for a kosher restaurant. Staff was very attentive and friendly. Highly recommend!“

“Xi'an Flavor Restaurant is a culinary gem! The authentic flavors transport you to the streets of Xi'an. From hand-pulled noodles to savory roujiamo, each dish is a masterpiece. The cozy ambiance and friendly service enhance the dining experience. A must-visit for those craving genuine Xi'an cuisine in Edison!“

“Fujiya Pickled Fish is an impressive restaurant located in New Jersey. Their pickled fish fish features fresh fish meat and rich pickled cabbage soup, which is delicious and unforgettable. The environment of the restaurant is comfortable and pleasant, and the service attitude is warm and thoughtful. Whether it is a family dinner or a gathering of friends, it is an ideal choice. Recommend their other dishes as well. Overall, Fujiya Pickled Fish is a high-quality Chinese restaurant worth visiting and you will definitely not be disappointed.“

“The soups at Nai Brother are amazing! If you like pickled flavors, this is the dish for you. So far, we've tried the house signature and the sour pickled pepper with flounder. I highly recommend them, and we plan on going back to try more flavors. What I like best is that this dish is large enough to share.“

“I love this lil hole in the wall for my mini hot pot. I always order the spicy beef Szechuan and pair it with their homemade signature lemonade. Everyone I bring here loves it too. It’s a cut and cozy place to sit in. The service is always friendly and fast. Love love this spot. Definitely recommend coming here to give it a try. 2 thumbs up!“

“First time here and will not be the last. Accommodating staff. Wheelchair accessible entrance. Delicious snow crab and pork soup dumplings. Refreshing and perfectly sweet, handmade Mango Pomelo Coconut Panna Cotta Tea (no soft drinks here). Took a chance on the Shanghai Pan-fried Pork Buns, because it looked yummy at another table. So glad we did!“

“Love their Bento boxes!!!“

“Crab roe over rice was good but I wouldn’t say it was phenomenal. Maybe a 7.5/10. Personally, I would have like more roe and less rice. I’m thought the price was a bit high, but I guess I’m not aware of what the price of crab roe is…?

The Nanjing salted duck leg was not for me. I was not aware that it would be a cold dish and I really didn’t like it.“

“Whenever I have a problem with bowel movements, I will come here to have a meal. It is more useful than Kaisellu for painless bowel movements. I come here every time when I have a problem with bowel movements. It is a very good place for bowel movements. Aila’s friends came to see me.“

“Excellent service and food is great! You must try their ‘Three Pepper Chicken” and “Chicken Fried Rice”. Staff are very friendly. Zara always follows up to see if we are happy with our food. Have been customers of Dragon Palace for years and will continue!“

“what an amazing Christmas Dinner, will definitely be back to try more of the menu“

“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.“

“Yue Wah Kitchen is hands down our go-to spot whenever we’re craving Chinese food! The food is consistently amazing—fresh, flavorful, and always cooked to perfection. Whether it's their delicious General Tso's chicken, fried rice, or dumplings, every dish hits the spot!

What really makes this place special are the owners. They are some of the nicest, friendliest people you’ll ever meet. They truly make you feel like family whenever you visit. The service is always top-notch, and they go out of their way to ensure you have a great experience.

We’ve been coming here for years and can’t imagine going anywhere else for Chinese food. If you haven’t tried Yue Wah Kitchen yet, you’re missing out!“

“The food was absolutely phenomenal. Priced well really had no complaints. My wife and I just finished talking about how restaurants have been disappointing us as of late. This restaurant did not disappoint at all. If I could’ve given it 10 stars, I would have great food great service great atmosphere.“

“Went because it has gluten free. Had reservation. Host said we would be next, as soon as a couple left. A couple of guys came in and greeted one of the servers. The couple left the table and the server went to seat her friends. The host stopped her and sat us. Kudos to the host. The other diners were very friendly, even offering tastes of their meal. I
ordered gluten free king pao chicken. It was a bit heavy on celery and salt, and a bit light on chicken. But, it's been so long since I've had Chinese food, I didn't care. Super fresh food. We would definitely go back.“

“The food is grand made fresh, the service is good as they are professional and make sure what you order is the right thing and how they respond on the phone is professional, the atmosphere is calm as the fish move around in the tank and watch you as they act curious

Vegetarian options: They can do just vegetables on the side if you ask if that’s possible

Kid-friendliness: The kids can watch the fish as they wait for their order“

“I absolutely love this place! The food is delicious and its very nice inside. If you haven’t been here then you’re missing out.“

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

“Food is well prepared. Delivery is on time. Only thing is when ordering they need to get better at following special instructions when added in online orders.

Vegetarian options: Sautéed dried string beans and broccoli are great.“

“For takeout it's awesome. It is not a place that I would sit down and eat at you most certainly can. But it definitely seems extremely boring and I also need to add that I only eat shrimp rolls mostly which they are awesome maybe once in awhile I will go for an egg roll which is fine. The soup is good and boneless spare ribs are good and the orange chicken is awesome“

“The food was so delicious. I had the beef noodles and the broth was mind blowing. I went with a friend and she loves their steamed pork soup dumplings. The guy taking our order so super kind and helpful. I liked the designs and drawings on the wall and the atmosphere in general. It felt mystical.

Kid-friendliness: The man taking our order was very welcoming especially since me and my friend were teens dining in for the first time. He made sure he had our orders correct and he answered very politely when being asked a question.“

“The Chinese restaurant we used for years recently changed owners, and was not to our liking anymore. This was our first time ordering here and we were very pleased. I placed an order online and was it was delivered 20 minutes early. We ordered the kung pao chicken (extra spicy) combo, sesames chicken combo and wonton soup. All were tasty and fresh. We found our new Chinese restaurant. Can't wait to try some of the other dishes.“

“todo está muy rica la comida, very good delicious food“

“Excellent service, food good and they are always so kind and nice ???“

“First time going here and won't be my last ! This is now my new chinese dine in restaurant. The food is very fresh ..the dumplings are so good and fresh made we had to get another one! We ordered general Tao chicken and it was also very fresh made . The restaurant is cute also .“

“Their veggies and meat were extremely fresh. The broccoli was not overcooked and had an amazing crunch to it. Very fresh! The rice is very different from other Chinese restaurants, and is probably the one thing I would change. The rice was good but had better fried rice at other locations; the pork, carrot and pea pieces were very fresh in the rice.The food was very tasty, however, if I may recommend something to the restaurant, please use less sodium. Although the food was very tasty, I think using less salt would have made it taste even better. ?I would HIGHLY recommend the fried chicken wings. They kept their crunchy texture after sitting for 15-20 minutes in the bag. They were so crunchy and the wings were pretty well sized unlike other Chinese restaurants. Other restaurants give you very small wings with barely any meat or taste soggy.Get the chicken wings! ?“

“This is hands down the best restaurant in NJ right now. The 8 course tasting menu is phenomenal, each dish balanced with unique flavors and texture, and beautiful plated. Our server explained each dish in detail, was extremely knowledgeable of the ingredients and dishes, and very friendly. He consistently topped off our drinks as needed and meticulously provided a new place setting for each course. The ambiance was very relaxing as we sat on the 2nd floor, with beautiful hip, modern decor. I was particularly intrigued by the faucet in the bathroom which was very unique. The overall attention to detail from the concept and design to the food and service is what sets it apart. Fine dining at its best with a relaxed atmosphere that easily compares to a Michelin star restaurant.

Free on site parking is available and it is a BYOB. A liquor store is conveniently located next door in case you forget to bring your libations.“

“A small takeout Chinese eatery with a fairly standard menu selection bearing high average prices. Hong Kong Express serves americanized Chinese fare. Set in a small strip mall, there seems to be adequate parking. Upon entering, the first impression is clean. Featuring newer furnishings, decor and construction. As a child took my order and payment, this is clearly a family business.
So I've only had one dish at this place. I can say for freshness of ingredients, it's excellent. For amount of meat added, average. Unfortunately my dish was extremely bland. I had to add 7 packets of various sauce and that was still not enough. As I make this dish at home, the main sauce is soy. I wish I had grabbed more.
Speaking of sauce, no sauce, forks, chopsticks or napkins were added or offered. I'm glad I checked and added on my own.
This business succeeds in 2 major ways most other Chinese places don't (freshness and cleanliness). I hope I just caught an off dish. I'd return, but until I had a better dish, I wouldn't recommend.“

“I ordered fried dumplings and Chicken Fried rice. The texture of the rice is good but the taste is a little blunt. But adding the hot sauce made it good to eat. I guess I forgot to say to make it spicy. But the taste is really good. With the fried dumpling it's still hot by the time we got home. That's good. But I recommend eating in the restaurant or as soon as possible. if you ordered pick-up, just remember that there is a chance that it gets soggy by the time you get home, but the taste was still good. Overall, I like it!“

“Brand New Owner ? This place used to be so basic in a good way (my all-time to-go rice noodle) but has transformed wonderfully due to new ownership. Edison finally has not only authentic, but exotic local Rice Noodle ?? If you love rice noodle but sick of eating same old thing, come and try their exciting, adventurous selection of food that will cure any problems in your life ??“

“I really can't believe that there is that good Chinese food place that exists...definitely ? I never ever eat good Chinese food in my life better than China wok deserve to be #1 in USA THANKS GUYS FOR BEING SO GOOD AND MAKE THE BEST FOOD EVER..YOU GUYS R THE BEST OF THE BEST....THE BEST CHICKEN WITH GARLIC SAUCE IS HERE..ALSO THANKS SO SO MUCH FOR BEING SO PROFESSIONAL AND FOLLOW EXACTLY WHAT THE CUSTOMER ASK FOR ..CANT STOP SAYING THANKS FOR GIVING THAT GOOD FOOD..KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK GUYS...“

“Favorite takeout in the area!! We’ve probably ordered close to 15 times by now and every single time the food is HOT, tastes fresh and EVERYTHING arrives! The staff is friendly and the driver as well!!! They sound BUSY on the weekends and we still get fresh food in 30-40 mins! Also I appreciate that they don’t rush while taking the orders!“

“I like the food here,but the prices keep going up and the portions going down. They never put napkins or forks or spoons or condiments in the bag so make sure you ask when you pick up or order food for delivery. I think they have the best general chicken in the area. So I’d recommend overall.“

“Food is outstanding!!!!!!!“

“Excellent food, friendly and generous portions.“

“I've been on the hunt for decent Chinese food for quite some time. Well, I finally found our new place! We never ordered from Rice Bowl before so we decided to try to large selection of food...chicken wings, wonton soup, egg rolls, beef with broccoli, bbq spare ribs, shrimp dumplings, mei fun, and shrimp in garlic sauce. It was delicious! I'm so happy to have found a Chinese restaurant that we enjoy!“

“I've always liked the food from China City 2, and I've never had a bad meal from here. Also, the lady is very nice and friendly. However, since the pandemic began in early-2020, their prices have gone through the roof!!! I understand, same thing could be said for supermarkets, gas, and the supply chain, but this is borderline insane pricing! Maybe their rent went up 75%? Not sure... Whatever the case may be, I used to be able to get a soup, egg roll, and some kind of chicken or beef and broccoli dish, with roast pork fried rice, for around $12. Now it's around $19. Big difference! Still fresh, clean and tasty, but for a take-out joint, a bit overly expensive, to say the least!“
