50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Holmdel

“Stopped in with My Better 3/4 and Was So Surprised On Taste,Quality and Service...Room to Improve...Senior Discount...PLZ...THANK YOU FOR A GRAND MEAL...Stay Blessed...>&<🙏🖖“

“Good location to enjoy dinner with family and friends. Service was good but orders came in little slower despite not many occupied tables. Everything we ordered was good but orange chicken surprisingly came without any sauce on chicken. It seemed more like chicken nuggets or popcorn chicken with slices of Orange. Overall was a good experience though.

Dietary restrictions: They do have vegetarian and gluten free options

Parking: This location is close to the mall and there are plenty of parking spots but may not always find something close to the restaurant.“

“I ordered takeout today and it was fabulous! For some reason I thought that the menu was just dumplings and never looked further but it is so much more! The quality and completeness of my order was refreshing. I got the Bao Entree Deluxe (with no green peppers), the Pepper Steak for my green pepper loving friend, and the Bao Sampler platter (came with 2 dipping sauces). I also got 10% off the next order :). I also did not feel hungry 2 hours later which seems to always happen to me with chinese food and I don't get it often. I will definitely be back to order agian very soon!“

“This is the only place I feel safe ordering in from as someone with food allergies. I have a dairy and gluten allergy and they are so accommodating with the dishes. You get big portions for a good price and the food is always so fresh. I also have a super stomach with some problems so I always feel icky eating out and since the food is cooked in high quality oil I never feel icky after eating here which is SO rare for me. The owner is incredibly kind and told me how she also has food allergies and is happy to make modifications and help. It’s so rare that restaurants welcome modifications and she always does so for me. I’ve never gotten sick here and it’s the one restaurant I feel comfortable ordering in from and look forward to doing so every week. The entire staff is helpful and are always kind and respectful even when the phone is ringing like crazy and there’s a line for pick up. They never rush you and always make you feel welcome. A local gem- thank you to the incredibly owner for giving us allergy people a safe place with delicious food and for accommodating me with a smile. I appreciate you so much. Please support this local small business“

“Our waiter was terrific. I don't remember his name but he was a young man with a slender/normal build. I think he's been there awhile. He was so nice and knowledgeable about the restaurant and the food. He helped make our evening memorable.“

“Authentic Chinese food at a reasonable price. Water and tea are self-serving. We ordered Sweet & Sour Pork Chop, Seafood Rice Cakes and Mapo Tofu with pork, all were delicious. Will try something different next time.

Parking: Tuesday around 1pm, plenty of parking.“

“Amazing resturaunt!!! Our waitress Vicky made our incredible experience even better!! Would highly recommend!!“

“This place has been my go-to Chinese spot to get food from the foods pretty good the service there is great the ladies that take your order are very sweet very genuine and they always make you laugh. Me and my family have been ordering here for I don't know how long but it's our go-to spot, the food portions are good and the prices for most things are fair.“

“The food is good but when I walked in and saw those poor fish in a tank that is too small for them it really upset me. You need to get a bigger tank and a canister filter like the Fluval 407. It will keep the fish smell down and a bigger tank would be beneficial to the fish. It just broke my heart. If you can't take care of them find them a good home.“

“This is a typical Chinese takeout place with all the familiar dishes and lunch menu items at a typically fair price. Staff is friendly. I wish there wasn't a 10 dollar minimum for credit cards (who carries cash?) but that's not their fault. Food is exactly what you'd expect if you've ever had "hole in the wall" takeout before.“

“This cozy Asian fusion restaurant is a fantastic spot for a flavorful and relaxed meal. Each dish arrives fresh, with a creative blend of Asian flavors that keeps every bite interesting. The option to choose your spice level is a nice touch, striking a balance between enhancing the flavors and keeping the heat manageable. Perfect for those looking to explore a unique twist on Asian cuisine in a warm and inviting atmosphere!“

“So good! fresh food! I am allergic to shell fish and alot of times stuff get cross contaminated ,not this place!! The food is so good !!! first time there ,this is now my Chinese food restaurant.“

“They still make really good food, not great like it used to be. They no longer have table service and the tables, chairs and rug are in disarray. They also doubled down on a weird pink color that leaves me to believe it must have been a clearance color.“

“The only negative I have (and it’s a big one and has happened 4-5 times now), I order no onion in my pepper steak and they add a $2 extra meat fee. I didn’t ask for extra meat to compensate for lack of veggies , and I don’t like it added without it being acknowledged or even approved/denied.. really not okay with that decision being made without my knowledge of it and will say something next time..

However when it comes to the food? Do it. Our usual orders are a some kind of mix of chicken&broccoli, pepper steak, boneless ribs, sesame chicken, fried wontons… everything has been great every time. One of the “better “ meats when it comes to both the chicken and the beef.. delivery is uncomfortably fast at times lol. Prices are average to anywhere else around here but the portions are great. Would definitely reccomend.“

“Best takeout Chinese food I've found in the area so far. Fantastic white meat sweet and sour chicken, which was crispy with a side of sweet dipping sauce, and great pork fried rice. Szechuan chicken was also very good although a little sweet and comes with a lot more vegetables than meat. They did forget the rice with our order so check the bag.“

“Surprising we hadn’t tried this place all these years living here as it was a lovely lunch we recently had.

Famous Freddy served us and treated us like long lost friends even though it was our first time. Table service is nice with tablecloths and a nice decor. Our special requests were accommodated and Freddy regaled us with lively conversation.

We enjoyed the cold sesame noodles, the sauce a little on the loose side for my taste but it was fine otherwise. Vegetable Lo Mein was as expected and the General Tso’s tofu was also very good. I prefer a different style for the sauce(darker/spicier) and tofu(firm ripped pieces vs soft cubes) but I’ve had this style before as well and it’s fine.

Addl hot sauce was provided and overall we enjoyed the meal.“

“We only get take out althoiugh they have maybe 3-4 tables for many years. Food has been consistantly great. Husband and wife team and very nice people. I love their house special soup but have not had anything that was not good here! Any reviews that are not stellar are likely from competitors!

Dietary restrictions: Can request no MSG or to hold certain ingedients

Parking: Parking lot is large“

“Can't say enough great things about this place. Been going here for over 20 years and it is my go to spot for Chinese and Thai cuisine. Staff is incredibly friendly and the service is super quick. Their lunch specials are relatively inexpensive and enough food to get you at least two meals out of it. Highly recommend the Pad Thai, Egg Foo Yung, Empire Chicken, Satay Chicken, Orange chicken and Garlic Shrimp. It's all great here, never had a bad meal.“

“Golden Bao is always great! The food is always prepared well and quickly. I have seen them working during very busy rushes and it is incredible how many orders they accomplish at once. I have also yet to experience an order mistake and I will order once a week for me and my staff. 10 out of 10.“

“Finally discovered a 5 star take out! Every dish we have ordered is full of flavor! Every dish is freshly made, you don't have that full and exhausted feeling after eating. Service is impeccable! Fast delivery! So glad a friend recommended this place!“

“If you're in the Matawan/Cliffwood Beach area, come check this place out. Great food and the staff is super nice“

“Best lo mein in the area. I get mine with roast pork. This was my secondary place after House of Chong, also in Middletown, which has unfortunately been lacking lately. Tai Hing just moved up to number one. They are cleverly closed on Tuesdays instead of Mondays, since so many restaurants are closed then. The prices are also really fair and a good value. I’ll get a picture next time, I scarfed it all down too quickly LOL.“

“Stopped in for lunch while out on some errands. Food came out quickly and was delicious - General Tso chicken had just a light breading, which set it apart from others I've had. The owner was friendly and courteous, and even brought us out a plate of watermelon, which was great on a hot, muggy summer day. Will be back!“

“The food is really great. Big portions and better than other Chinese restaurants in the area as well as surrounding counties. We have gone there many times. Suki is nice, hospitable and makes the dinner enjoyable.“

“This is not our usual place. Either is the one across the street, which we ordered the day before and we’re extremely disappointed to the point that we wanted Chinese again the following night and we chose Golden Jade. Flat-out great food here and I knew it because it’s family run and everyone was friendly. You can tell they take pride in their cooking. We had fried dumplings which would great - they give you 8 and my only critique is they need more filling but the taste is great. The house lomein and house fried rice were outstanding. Fresh and not over sauced. The chicken and broccoli and the general tso chicken were what you expect in the taste department and we’re done very well. Their egg rolls were tasty. The highlight though was the boneless spareribs. So many places get this wrong - these were the best I’ve had in the area even topping my usual place. They had the right amount of glaze, weren’t tough and were made completely using rib meat. Sweet, salty, and easy to chew. This place didn’t disappoint and if it’s a battle between Golden Jade or the one across the street in the junction, Golden Jade is easily the winner.“

“Online ordering was easy and simple.
But online receipt and actual receipt have $1 difference. Be Aware.
Delivery took about 50 mins but food were still good.
So far, best Chinese delivery food around this neighborhood.“

“I have been eating here for a while now, as I have eaten at other places for asian food, I find this place to be the best in the area. Boneless ribs, Lomein, sweet n sour chk all good.“

“I ordered dragon phoenix, vegetable lo mein, and sesame wonton, and they were all so delicious with the sesame wonton being so flavorful and the jumbo shrimp from the dragon phoenix taste so fresh and the chicken with white meat tastes so juicy and crunchy with great flavor

Vegetarian options: Veg lo mein and mix veg are both really good“

“I have been ordering from Golden Star for awhile now...for a local Chinese takeout/delivery they are very very good... Their food is always good, fresh and delivered quickly...even if they say 35 minutes it is at your door in 20. They accommodate special menu requests with no problem and offer lunch specials and have coupons. I really cannot say anything negative...if you're looking for a local chinese spot please look no further!!!“

“The food is very good, always fresh, and never oversalted. NO MSG here! The family who runs this establishment is very kind and accommodating if you alert them to food sensitivities or if you must adhere to a special diet. If you are gluten free your choices may be limited, but there are a good number of options. Extremely clean kitchen.“

“I drive out of my way to come here. Big chunks of chicken with a thin coating. Chicken fried rice has huge pieces of chicken, but needed a little more flavor. The egg and shrimp rolls have a good amount of flavor. Ordered the Singapore noodle and it had sugar added and what seemed to be cinnamon, so ask for ingredients before ordering. Clean, takeout only right now.“

“Very good Cantonese cuisine, one of the best in America“

“I don’t know how this place is still in business with this many bad reviews and I’m gonna leave another one not only was the food horrible when the driver got here he drove up the grass and then when I called the restaurant, the girl laughed. Don’t order from this place read the reviews they speak for themselves.“

“Amazing food and service, also great prices. They are fast to deliver as well.“

“General Tso’s chicken was crispy and perfectly done, right amount of spice level for me, few freshly steamed broccoli and white rice cooked to deliciousness! With one spring roll (we split the order, there were two) all and all, great lunch.“

“This is my 2nd favorite Chinese Buffet. The one that beats it is in Zanesville, Ohio. The food trays are filled/refilled frequently so everything is generally fresh and tasty. And if anything is running low, the service staff responds promptly to meet your needs. As an added benefit, prices are reasonable and competitive for the area.“

“Put some respect on my people! Ive gotten food from here since a kid. The delivery is quick and they do the best they can, the food is always tasting fresh and hot. Nothing but good things to say about here. Try them, you wont be disappointed!!!“

“The BEST gluten-free chinese food you will find in NJ! It's worth driving to.

I've never had any issues eating here and I am very sensitive to gluten.

The food tastes great, the service is very good, and the prices are reasonable.“

“Very tasty. Quite authentic. Enjoyed very much.“

“Best Chinese food around! I called by phone and the woman that took my order was so friendly. I was surprised that they had general tso tofu and scallion pancakes (it wasn’t on the menu, but it was available to order).Everything was piping hot, fresh, delicious, and prepared quickly! Ming’s Garden, you have a new customer :)“

“My husband and I were craving Indian so we decided to try this place. Firstly, picking up it was the nicest customer service. The man was so personal and friendly, it was like walking into a family restaurant. He gave me a tea, some yummy dessert and he didn’t even want to accept money for it.

Secondly, we devoured everything. It was all so delicious and it filled us all up. We got three things but the chicken tikka was amazing.

Overall, I would highly recommend ordering from here. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Saved the day many times during the Covid shutdown. Great food and great friendly service, thank you!!!!!“

“Accepted my take-out order 10mins before closing, and I arrived 3mins before 10pm. Thank you!!! Was craving my a combo after working late. Food is amazing as always, their General TSO’s is closest to Wah Mei in Port Monmouth in whole area. Would Recommend!“

“The service and atmosphere was great. The seats are comfortable, decorations are good and the lighting is just right. Staff was very helpful. The drinks are mainly just different teas but the two milk teas we tried were good. The food was very variable in taste though. The appetizer (beef with scallions) was delicious and had the best sauce. The Three Musketeers and Beauties was good other than the scallops, however the rest of the tables food was mediocre to plain bad. The mango chicken was the most tasteless thing I’ve ever tasted in my life. Overall other than the chicken, the restaurant was fine.“

“Best chinese food in the area! Being from NY, I've always had trouble finding good chinese takeout spots in NJ since they're very often bland or overpriced. I'm so happy I found Jumbo. The food is great, the portions are a good size and the prices are reasonable. My husband and I order from here at least twice a month and we're never disappointed.“

“This is our usual go-to. The sesame chicken is delicious, and so is the chicken&broccoli. The fried wontons are some of the best I've had. Sometimes you have to repeat parts of the order again, but the order always comes correct, hot, and delicious. The prices have DEFINITELY jumped, but honestly- What prices haven't?“

“This is a great little Chinese restaurant which has all the basics and will gladly customize. To be clear I am not rating the food 5 star, but the combination of food quality, prices, value, selection and service. They are consistent in their food and service.“

“Very relaxing, quiet atmosphere, classy . Not a fast food place. Family run.... Excellent food. Had a shrimp dish. Lots of shrimp and vegetables . They had run out of asparagus but friend had chicken and green beans instead. Soup very tasty. Prices reasonable . Excellent dining in experience. A wide variety of food. Very nice owners, they try to accommodate. Brown rice is an option. Healthy food.“

“We have been ordering from here for over a year now, after trying so many places around here this one hit all of things I look for in a Chinese take out place. The food is delicious EVERY time. We have ordered so maby things...its all good. They actually have their own delivery drivers, which is rare nowadays, they are very accomodàting with regards to special requests and substitutions. They are also very REASONABLY PRICED for this area. Lastly, their complimentary fried noodles are not those thin generic ones. I think they make their own and they are very good. 🙂“

“Everything was delicious and the staff were absolutely excellent in every way!“
