50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Iselin

“This chinese food is the best ive had in a very long time!!! The boneless spare ribs are meaty!!! Not little tiny slivers of chipped meat. The rice was beautiful done, flavorful and it comes with egg! The general tsao chicken was beautifully crispy, not soggy even after taking it to go!! The wonton soup broth was flavorful unlike most places that taste like chicken water. The wontons themselves were also flavorful. I will be a new regular after avoiding Chinese food for years“

“Have had a few times here. Right inside Kumar Soni plaza food court . Not much place to dine in. Especially during covid times , there is absolutely no social distancing. Just take out of u can . Good info Chinese food and rightly priced. Tried spicy ? wings and it was ok. It was just saucy. Nice quantity though. For about 8.50$ , it was stomach full . Fried rice, chilli ? and others also taste good. Lots of parking available . Overall a good place for quick indo Chinese food …“

“Excellent food, friendly and generous portions.“

“I like Rice Bowl...decent Chinese/Thai food menu in Iselin, on Gill Lane. I enjoy their green and red curries, pineapple fried rice w/ chicken and their warm fried donuts. Good menu variety and service. Okay to eat there, but I usually pick-up.“

“Being that we are not from New Jersey, we can only rely on reviews. You're always a little skeptical because you just never know. The food here is super amazing. The food is fresh and delicious. What even got me is with the amount of quick errands we did in the area. The food was still hot when getting back to the hotel. This place made me feel good when I saw the open kitchen of the cooks making the food and the traffic in and out of this place. The guy taking my order was also super nice and patient when placing my order yesterday evening. Definitely recommend it. Will be going back before I leave.“

“update as of 03/23/2025 - I have been a customer for around a decade...current service is really bad (sounds as if they are too busy to give few seconds for the order) especially taking orders on the phone....I am saying this after having tried to order 3 times

Their sezwan noodles is pretty spicy, which reminds me of the Kolkata noodles, gr8!!!“

“I can't believe it took me this long to review Rasoi Restaurant. This famous restaurant has been a local favorite for over a decade, and for good reason. Perfectly situated on Oak Tree Road, it's a convenient and popular spot, especially when the buffet is on.

The service is always top-notch, and the bar offers a decent selection of drinks. The buffet is a real highlight. The starters, like the samosa chaat, chicken 65, and pakoras, are always a crowd-pleaser, offering a perfect blend of flavors and spice. The main courses, particularly the non-vegetarian options, are consistently delicious. While the biryani is decent, the naan and curries truly shine. The vegetarian dishes are solid, but the non-vegetarian offerings are where Rasoi needs to improve- halal is not in the buffet - but offered form menu.

To round off the meal, the carrot halva and tea are the perfect sweet and comforting finish. Considering the quality and quantity of food, the pricing is quite reasonable. If you're in Central NJ, Rasoi's buffet is a must-try“

“Had to drive over 45 minutes to get to this place. I’m giving this a 5 star because this is probably the best fish soup you are going to get in NJ. There are however much better places for this in Flushing Queens which would be double the driving time for me. The fish soup is good. Not the best. For the best, my go to place is still this place called Fish With You in Flushing. Give this place a try! Everything is good.

Update: had the comb for 2. The fish came under flavored. Needed some time to marinade in the soup. After it was better. We got the fried pork belly which is good. But can’t have too much because it is heavy. The glutinous cubes were fried so it was crispy on the outside and doughy on the inside. The syrup is used to dip and it serves as a good dessert to finish the meal off.“

“The hot pot is deliperfection. Wait was less than 5 min. It wasn't crowded. I got to pick my own ingredients and I loved everything. Even got to try a few new things. Love this place 10 out of 10 Definitely Recommend!!!

Vegetarian options: Cooked to prefection.“

“Very delicious. Many healthy and tasty soup base options for chicken hot pot. The chicken is fresh and juicy. You also have the options of other meets (beef, lamb, fish, etc) as add on. They also have a tons options for appitizer and deserts. Highly recommanded.“

“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.“

“We tried the crab buns and shrimp dumplings at Wu’s Shanghai Dumpling, and they were absolutely delicious! The crab buns were perfectly fluffy on the outside with a rich, savory filling that really hit the spot. The shrimp dumplings were fresh, juicy, and beautifully wrapped—each bite was full of flavor. The service was friendly, and the place had a cozy, welcoming vibe. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Shanghai-style dumplings!“

“I ordered twice in 2 days because I was looking for a new Chinese Food place that does deliver. And Kam Fung does deliver (on GH at least) in more ways than one. My orders of Spare Ribs, Beef with Garlic Sauce and the dumpling sauce were amazing. Cooked perfectly and very tasty. I will continue to order from here!“

“This was amazing food! The spice level was just right!! We came here once and just had to come back because of how amazing it was! Just amazing. The taste of pickled claws and smashed cucumber is unforgettable ,Good proportions. Great food.“

“amazing! great tasty stuff“

“The food was delicious. This is a family owned restaurant and we were treated with wonderful kindness and just the right amount of attention. There are not a lot of this style of Mongolian stir-fry places left, and this is by far the best of them.“

“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.“

“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 a wonderful experience here! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff were welcoming and attentive without being overbearing. The atmosphere was cozy and perfect for a relaxed meal. Everything from the appetizers to the dessert exceeded my expectations. Definitely a place I’ll be recommending to friends and returning to myself“

“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.“

“My favorite place to get bbq chicken wings from & shrimp rolls. The food is amazing here.“

“Great food. The sampler dumplings are awesome.“

“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“

“While it’s Americanized Chinese food, you can still taste the authentic flavors in dishes like the mapo tofu and chow fun. It’s a great spot when you’re craving comfort food with a Chinese twist. Clean dining area and fast service, too!“

“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“

“Great Chinese food spot, nothing fancy just great food“

“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.“

“food was Absolutely delicious and everyone was very friendly! looking forward to going back soon!“

“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)“

“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.“

“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.“

“Easily a top 3 restaurant in New Brunswick. I have turned several friends and colleagues onto it.
I don't know much about authentic Chinese food, but based on what I've seen, I think this is the real deal.
What solidified it's authenticity to me is the first time I tried the mala dish - it is crazy spicy and flavorful and perfect to warm you up and clear your sinuses! The fact that it isn't toned down for American palates, to me, is an indication that they make the real deal.
Their Sichuan pork dumplings are my new comfort food.
201 and 204 are my usual orders, but the Taiwanese stewed pork with rice (503) is phenomenal; crazy tender and flavorful meat.“

“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 .“

“Here's a great review for you guys. I'm not one to EVER reheat Chinese food the next day...or ever. My husband ordered from here for him and the kids while I was at work this past weekend. Not only did I reheat it after work and it was delicious, but I ate it for lunch the next day, too, and still really good. I think this was the first time I reheated Chinese food in about twenty yrs lol. Will order again,thanks.“

“I love this place!! Definitely recommend to everyone!!“

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

“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.“

“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 ??“

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

“The service at this place is very, very bad. The young man who takes the orders is very rude when talking to customers. He should be replaced by a better person. In addition, you can only pay in CASH, and at the counter, they always charge you taxes. This is STEALING TO THE CUSTOMER AND TO EVADE TAXES AS WELL. I DO NOT RECOMMEND this place at all.“

“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“

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

“Super delicious food recommended to me by a friend. The Fried Chicken Wings are the crispiest, tastiest and best I’ve ever tasted.
Great delivery service .
Most delicious quality food I have tried, fresh and wonderful!
Try it and enjoy!“

“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.“

“My wife and I ride our scooters there faithfully to get our usual shrimp and broccoli fried rice teriyaki chicken on the stick fried bananas and a order of chicken wings ?.The presentation ALWAYS ?? GRADE A!!WE LOVE ALL THE UNIQUE FLAVOR PROFILES GREAT TASTY FOOD VERY FRESH..ALSO THE PLACE IS CLEAN WE LOVE TO STAY AND EAT THERE!HEY IM BOUT TO GOT GET ME SOME NOW BEFORE THEY CLOSE IM OUT!!!!?“

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

“This review is long overdue from me, as my family and I have been ordering from here for over 10 years. It is by far the best takeout Chinese food I’ve ever had, and undoubtedly the best in Union County. Also, can’t not mention that it comes at a great price too.“

“The Butterfly shrimp is Amazing!“

“I rarely eat Chinese food and I choose this restaurant when I have to eat. When I tasted the food, I was surprised by the taste, which gave me a new understanding of this cuisine. Quick pick up and very kind service. Pricing is very reasonable for the amount of food that you get.“
