Szechuan Restaurants near Jersey City, NJ

“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 😄😛😋“

“Chongqing Chicken is great!“

“Food was great. Good place to go for Chinese food. Ambience was normal, and service was okay. But the problem is that they have 2 menus- 1. Dine-in menu 2. Takeout menu and the pricing in either menu was different, takeout menu had a higher price and they had charged us based on takeout menu even though we dined in.“

“Always passed by this place... what a mistake. I was amazed by the szechuan food!!! The spicy spliced fish // the fish cabbage soup // bokchoy is so flavorful. It's a hole in the wall restaurant, of course service isn't going to be michelin star grade. but the food is authentic flavorful and relatively cheap for the area, and the serving size is impressive. will keep going back, will bring friends.“

“Went with a group of friends tonight and from the first bite to the last, we kept raving about every dish we ordered. Sooo delicious! We ordered the dry pot chicken, the hot sauce fish, the cumin lamb, chongqing pepper chicken, string beans, and eggplant. Look forward to going back again when I’m in the area! ?“

“Compared to a few years ago, a few of the menu classics from Kawasanja are still there!And then the surprise is that there are a lot of new dishes too!“

“Came here for my anniversary dinner and was blown away by Breeze (pun intended). Easily some of, if not the best Sichuan food we’ve ever had. I got the Winter Frost #2 cocktail and I wasn’t sure what type of flavor I was expecting but it didn’t taste like what I expected in a good way! The cocktail had a mildly sweet, light but depth in flavor profile.

The ginger sauce green beans were some of the best green beans I’ve ever tasted. The sauce they used was addicting. Second favorite item was the diced chicken with chili pepper, which was super spicy but absolutely delicious. But to be honest all of the dishes were home runs! I was just here last night and I’m already daydreaming about coming back to try more dishes.

Also the service was exceptional. The restaurant was full and there were only two guys to cover the front of the house (the hostess, waiter, bartender, and bus boy). They definitely had their hand fulls but still were efficient. Since it was our anniversary dinner they ended up surprising us with a pumpkin rice cake dessert on the house which we thought was the sweetest gesture. I couldn’t have been happier since I absolutely love rice cakes 😋“

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

“This restaurant is a nice place to take your date for something special or to take friends to have food together! The food here is a bit on the spicier side, but I would highly recommend trying the peking duck! It was so delicious! Also we would recommend the sweet and sour pork ribs, they were packed full of flavor and super tender! The sweet and sour fish was also very delicious - if you are into seafood, would highly recommend this!“

“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“

“We went for drinks. They were serious about having the table for 90 minutes and then having us go. We were there at 7pm. It was for five people, they graciously let two others join for the last 10 minutes before we were to leave.

Paid top $ for my own drink creation which didn't hit the spot but their combinations sure do.

Nice speakeasy setup.“

“Excellent Service Great Customer service! Good food !“

“I am obsessed with sichuan food, and found this place to be delicious! I was dining solo, so I was only able to try one dish, but the dry pot chicken was phenomenal. Juicy chicken, tasty vegetables, and strong-but-not-overwhelming spice. You will not regret a visit here.“

“Be prepared for a wait. EXCELLENT FOOD!“

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

“Antidote was such a great spot to have dinner on my visit to NYC. The wait was not too long considering there were 7 people in my party. We had so many items off the menu and the staff was very attentive to allergies and other food preferences. The tea smocked duck was incredible, the cucumber was amazing, the wontons were delicious! Everyone loved their dish it was absolutely a great dinner. The only downside was that some of the fish dishes were made with tilapia which is not a fish preference for most of the friends I was with. I will definitely be back and I highly recommend this restaurant“

“Great atmosphere, quality decor. Authentic menu. We wanted some quality Chinese whilst in NYC. Drinks menu great cocktails and Pilsner. Cucumber starter and BBQ Spare ribs starter are amazing. peking duck and the Chicken in blackbean and dry chilli chicken - amazing!“

“Hospitality AAA FOOD AA PRICE A“

“I was recommended this restaurant and took a chance on it as I was looking to diversify where I eat in Brooklyn. I ordered the chicken dumplings and fried rice with duck. Both were excellent and even for the lunch special, the portion of fried rice was too much for just one person. While the service wasn't particularly great, the food and prices were excellent.“

“Han Dynasty is one of my go-to restaurants for quality Chinese food in NYC. It is not a hole-in-the-wall establishment like many of the other Chinese restaurants in the city (not that there’s anything wrong with that). The space is large and comfortable, and the food is consistently delicious with very good drink options. The price point is also reasonable considering the location. I like how the menu specifies the spice level of each dish on a scale of 1-10, although I find the calibration to be more American rather than Szechuan spice levels, no surprise. But if you need a real hit just ask for an 11 and the chef will deliver.“

“Everytime I visit NYC’s 8th Avenue there’s going to be a day where my family and I will dine out at this place. It’s so delicious, my personal favorites are the Spicy Bullfrog and Beef Skewers. The servers are also always courteous and fast from our experience. We highly recommend this spot 👍.“

“Everything is good“

“First time here food amazing will be back“

“Only one chef on the line. Very kind, but was scolded for "you have to call in first". Otherwise a great corner Chinese spot.

Vegetarian options: Yes, ask.

Kid-friendliness: There's a kid running around the restaurant all the time.

Dietary restrictions: Just ask“

“Easily the best Chinese restaurant in Brooklyn. Beautiful space, great food (get the whole steamed fish) and excellent service—friendly, helpful and relaxed. The place is busy but we never felt rushed. And for the quality and quantity of food it’s a great value. Will definitely be back.“

“Never disappoints. Excellent food. Always packed“

“This spot has an extensive menu, fantastic prices, large servings, and an inviting atmosphere! Some of the more American style Chinese items (Kung Pao, General Tzo’s, and fried rice) can be ordered and come out extremely quickly (our table neighbors order some of these items and they came out in under 10 minutes!). We ordered the Garlic Sauce Style tofu, Scallion Style chicken, and Chili Oil Pork Dumplings. Everything was super delicious and we would definitely order it all again!“

“The food is amazing. Very clean and cool vibes.“

“Great food, everything it’s delicious !!!“

“The food is consistently fresh and tasty. So happy to have an excellent Szechwan restaurant in a neighborhood where good Chinese cuisine is sorely lacking.“

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

“Fantastic gem in LIC. Great authentic flavors and extensive menu. Fun cocktails too!! Highly recommend the black jack beef, Mongolian lamb, Changsha chicken and dragon eye for dessert. Amazing. Liam was our server and was very attentive, personable and gave great recommendations. Check it out!“

“Delicious food, great staff, friendly service.“

“I came to this restaurant last month to order takeout, and the young man at the front desk was very enthusiastic in introducing the menu. When he found out it was my partner’s birthday, he added a free dessert to my order and wished him a happy birthday. It was truly sweet!!!“

“Very good well done food.“

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

“The food was good. Cash or Zelle only. Small establishment. Tried eating at their
outside table but a Chinese guy (next door) decided it was his smoke break, was smoking and it was disgusting he had no consideration for someone else dining experience, I had to leave early.“

“Absolutely outstanding experience! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented—every bite was a delight. The staff was welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for both a casual meal and a special night out. This restaurant truly deserves 5 stars—I can’t wait to return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.“

“It's a quirky and inviting restaurant for cozy dinner. Highly recommend for vegetarians / vegans.
The Dan Dan noodles are must order and chilli oil wantons were also good. Staff will nicely help to toss and mix noodles in front of you.
Staff is really helpful and recommends food as per your taste.“

“This Chinese restaurant offers a spacious and clean dining area, making it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal. The service is attentive, ensuring a pleasant experience from start to finish. Food is served quickly, perfect for those looking for a fast yet satisfying meal. The flavors are delicious, with fresh ingredients and well-balanced seasoning. Their lunch special is a great deal, making it my go-to choice whenever I visit.“

“Food is amazing. They go there w the mala and I love it. 10/10 recommend if you are about that life. Service is fantastic also.

I ordered chili woodears (amazing), the mouth numbing chili chicken, snow peas, golden eggplant and topped it off w the VEGAN black sesame. EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING. (well the black sesame ice cream could have been MORE black sesame but few people nail this so it's okay still good)“

“As an ABC who’s living away from home, I just crave good spicy Chinese food and let me tell you that I have dreams of their hot and sour glass noodles paired with the beef green pepper soup sometimes. Especially in this nasty cold weather, sometimes you just need a nice hot and spicy pick me up. Peppercorn station has been one of my favorite go-to spots for Szechuan food since I moved to the city for work. Literally it’s smack down in the middle of the city and is extremely close to work so it’s a no brainer. Hard to find good authentic Szechuan Chinese food in Hell’s Kitchen or Midtown but peppercorn makes it so easy. Please do yourself a favor and get the crab meat tofu, beef green pepper, garlic pea shoots, and HOT AND SOUR GLASS NOODLES. Also for a Chinese restaurant, the service and speed is extremely on point and never have had a bad experience. Will keep supporting good local businesses like this and yall should too.“

“You get honest value for your dining dollars. The meals here taste great, cost less than most places and the employees are nice. Service is good, no complaints at all. The flavors here are noteworthy. This spot makes social dining enjoyable with quality options.“

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

“A nice elevated Chinese place in Greenpoint for when you don’t feel like going down to Chinatown. I think you get a good value for the atmosphere and quality of food you get, along with portions too. All hits for me.

The Mapo Tofu was super good. Not overkill spicy and very flavorful. I really liked it. $15, but of course you need rice so $17. My GF got the Chicken Soup which I thought was okay. I’ve had variants of this, and I think the broth had an meh flavor.

Overall, though, a great bang for your buck and I’ll be coming back!“

“Very good food and drinks 🍹“

“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.“

“First time here food amazing will be back“

“the staff here is super friendly and nice don't get me wrong, the food here is also super good but i'm just salty at the fact that they only have AYCE after 9pm and every other time of the day they only do a la carte, other than that their opening hours are kind of short too“

“My family and I ate dinner there last night. The food was all delicious! Our server was great. Actually, everyone working was great. I liked that we were asked if anyone had any food allergies. Our cocktails lived up to their descriptions. I definitely will be returning to Red Bowl!“
