Szechuan Restaurants near Jersey City, NJ

“Chongqing Chicken is great!“

“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 😄😛😋“

“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! ?“

“If Chengdu1’s rating is EVER under a 4, that is just crazy to me. And trust that it’s probably because someone tried this delicious restaurant’s food and couldn’t handle the spice or full flavor. Hence unfairly lower ratings.

I’ve tried many things on the menu and each item is always prepared perfectly, with fresh ingredients, balanced flavor, powerful heat where there needs to be, all while having a pretty extensive menu.

From an Asian person - this place is LEGIT, and I’ll order from Chengdu1 ALL DAY. Hits the spot every time and I order a feast…just for me. Even though they send about 4-5 sets of chopsticks and utensils thinking it’s for a large group 😆“

“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.“

“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!“

“Loved the ambience in this great little find! Having traveled to Sichuan province, I can attest that the food really has authentic flavors (albeit kinder to the American palette). The Juju cocktail is outstanding. Would definitely come back to this place try other dishes.“

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

“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“

“Really enjoyed our meal at CHI Restaurant & Bar! We tried the cucumber salad, spring roll trio, black garlic octopus, truffle beef tenderloin, mashed eggplant with peppers, and stir-fried cabbage with pork. The crispy cereal prawns with golden egg silk were a highlight—a fun combination of shrimp and crunchy toppings.

Save room for dessert! The milk tea cloud cake was adorable, and the raspberry lychee tart topped with colorful macarons was almost too cute to eat. A lovely spot to share several dishes with friends!“

“Excellent Service Great Customer service! Good food !“

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

“Wanted to give this place 5 stars from the first sip of my first drink. Held off and can confirm the food is as incredible as the cocktails. Best wings I’ve ever had, cucumber salad bright and savoury, and deep rich crab fried rice. Lovely atmosphere too, dark and inviting. Perfect place to escape the rain on a Sunday evening.“

“Hands down the best Peking duck in NYC—Eater wasn't kidding! The skin was perfectly crispy and the meat so tender, wrapped in thin pancakes with sweet bean sauce and fresh cucumber. We also loved the spicy diced chicken (so addictive!) and the tableside mapo tofu that arrived bubbling hot. Everything was flavorful, well-portioned, and service was smooth.“

“LOVED this place! I am extremely picky about fresh Chinese food and this restaurant really delivered. Every dish was wonderfully seasoned - no thick or “old” tasting sauces. Service was excellent and the restaurant was clean and well kept. Highly recommend !“

“Hospitality AAA FOOD AA PRICE A“

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

“Solid stuff but not as mind blowing as the other reviews say (though this depends if you’ve had good Chinese food before).

Fish was solid but a little too heavy on the batter to fish ratio. Eggplant was simple but good. The silken tofu was really solid texturally - might’ve been the standout dish for our meal.“

“Be prepared for a wait. EXCELLENT FOOD!“

“Never disappoints. Excellent food. Always packed“

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

“Really enjoy this place. Food comes out fast, and it's always fresh and spicy, if you like a kick, this is a solid spot for it.

Only gripe: white rice costs extra. Come on, it's rice! Docking one point for that alone.

4/5 stars, would still recommend.“

“Ma po tofu (with meat, the women sitting next to us got it with mushroom and we felt so fortunate we stuck to the classic because they were complaining about the flavor), garlic string beans, fried rice, Dan Dan noodles. Can’t go wrong with their version of the classics.“

“I used Trip Advisor to get me here and everything reviewers had said was true. Authentic Sichuan food and, for a person like myself, dining solo, a great appetizer menu. I was happy to take the server’s recommendations and they were right. And for midtown Manhattan it was reasonably priced.

Delicious“

“By Antidote was an absolute treat! We got the Century Egg w/ Burrata Cheese, Tea-Smoked Duck Fried Rice, Crab Tofu, Crab & Pork Soup Dumplings, Green Peppercorn Fish Stew, Mapo Tofu, and Spicy Cumin Lamb.

The first three were easily my favorite dishes, although I feel like the Crab Tofu could use a bit more flavor. The Green Peppercorn Fish Stew was yum but not amazing in my opinion. The Mapo Tofu and Spicy Cumin Lamb were tasty but definitely way too spicy for me lol.

This spot is a must-go for great Chinese fusion cuisine.“

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

“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.“

“Very good well done food.“

“Everything is good“

“Initially wanted to go to a different spot for skewers, but stumbled upon this place instead since there were so many people lined up outside! Not the best skewers I’ve had but we did notice a lot of people ordering the crawfish and decided to order one, and it did not disappoint! So juicy and flavorful, I wish I could try some of the other flavors!! Staff were extremely quick to service and the ambiance is nice and loud haha perfect spot for late night snack/meal with friends!“

“First time here food amazing will be back“

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

“This is a nice restaurant that has traditional Hunan, Sichuan, and Chinese American Cuisine. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful and very early 1900’s style Chinese restaurant fashion almost like being in San Francisco.. The food is very good. The staff is very nice. The portions are just great. On the more expensive side to bring your credit cards 💳. It’s like taking a history lesson in Chinese food in America. Give this place to try if you’re in the area we will definitely be going back.“

“We had such a great meal at Pig Heaven! The BBQ spare ribs were so tender, flavorful, and perfectly glazed. We also really enjoyed the soup dumplings, Peking duck, Sesame chicken, noodles, and Mapo tofu. Everything came in generous portions and was great for sharing. The staff was friendly and welcoming too. Definitely a great Chinese spot on the Upper East Side. We’d love to come back!“

“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.“

“I’ve been eating here since it opened and this place literally never fails to deliver on amazing flavor that wakes up the tastebuds. Ingredients are all high quality. 3 pepper chicken packs a good punch, beef with silken tofu is delicious, and their duck fried rice is amazing.“

“Ok, this place is an experience. Now with the all the chichi restaurants, Mama's is a break. It's a hole in the wall, mom and pop, home made style like you hadn't tasted before in other established restaurants. I feel I am in China and trying out their local foods. Their pot stickers are huge full of meat. The special Mama's noodle is full of surprises. I liked the way that we went there with 3, she pulled out the only table in there and clear the stuff on it and made it a dining table for us. The owner is very friendly and chatty. She told us they use the best Japanese made rice cooker and German made knives. If you want a homey and unusual experience. Drop by when you are in the hoods.“

“First time here food amazing will be back“

“Very good food and drinks 🍹“

“I had the Szechuan spicy pot. It was so delicious, the perfect spice level, and generously portioned full of delicious fresh vegetables (orange cauliflower, carrots, mushroom, zucchini, snap peas, AND bamboo shoots). An incredible break from boring takeout noodles. YUM“

“Fantastic vegan food in the West Village of NYC. Meeting family for dinner and loved the food.

I ordered the Vegetable Fried Dumplings for an appetizer and the Stir Fry Noodles for my entree. Both dishes are fantastic.

My partner ordered the General Tsos Chicken and enjoyed his dish, or grand niece ordered the Fried Rice and having been there before, loved the food.

Definitely worth a try for great vegan food in NYC.“

“Excellent food, but the service is what truly made this place stand out. My friend unexpectedly had to take a phone call, and since the restaurant was quiet, the staff kindly turned off the music so he could hear. When he was done, they even reheated his meal without us asking.

That kind of genuine thoughtfulness is rare these days. Great food, wonderful people, and exceptional hospitality. Highly recommend supporting this restaurant—we’ll definitely be back!“

“Food is always good we have come here for years. The Whole Fish Filet w. Spicy Chili & Peppercorn in Broth is one of my favorite dishes in the city. Other dishes we always get are cumin lamb and fried tofu both 10/10. And tea of course.“

“my daughter in law were in Manhattan for the day and we stopped in for lunch...it was a great experience from start to finish...I ordered the bass with hot bean sauce...it was Perfect! everyone was very polite and attentive, will definitely come back again...nice job gentlemen“

“I was craving some dumplings and I walked by Chairman Sun and saw their menu had just what I wanted!

The Pork Soup Dumplings were a 5/5. Full of flavor and the perfect texture. The soy sauce and flavor of the pork matched perfectly.

My Scallion Cucumber salad was a perfect flavor profile for me as a I love a garlic moment. The dressing was drinkable…and the cucumber cuts were hardy and a perfect fresh bite.

Lastly, the spring rolls, solid and great flavor.

Kind staff and great ambience.

Loved my time here!“

“If you're craving hot pot in the LIC area, this is a solid choice. Price obviously depends how much you get; dining as a party of 4, we spent around $50pp. Everything can be requested or ordered via the iPad (including a call service button), so there's limited direct contact with staff. I like how they provide bags for jackets to make sure not ALL of your possessions come out of the restaurant smelling like hotpot.

While it makes sense to have a big table to hold all of our ingredients, I felt the distance from one end to the table to the other was large! We had to raise our voices to talk to each other.

The sauce bar has the essentials as well as 2 side dishes (altho I don't remember what they were, I didn't end up getting them) and orange slices (we ate those at the end of the meal).

There is only one bathroom for the entire restaurant, so there was a bit of a line when I had to go.“

“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.“
