Szechuan Restaurants near Kearny, NJ

“Come for the food, you won’t regret it. Sichuan food at its finest, this is not your typical American style Chinese food. Parking is difficult but there’s street parking nearby. Haven’t had Sichuan food this good outside of Flushing, Queens. Mapo Tofu, lamb cumin, and cold tripe/meat appetizer are 🔝⭐️“

“Excellent Service Great Customer service! Good food !“

“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 😄😛😋“

“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!“

“After months of hearing Chengdu 23 advertised on 105.5 WDHA, my wife and I decided to try it this evening. we were not disappointed! From the minute we walked in the door, our experience was 100% positive. The service was fast, courteous, and intuitive. The food was sublime. This is not your run of the mill Chinese food restaurant. I rate it seven out of five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (I never claimed to be a math whiz!)“

“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 😆“

“Outrageously good and authentic Szechuan cuisine, nothing else like it in town . Order the fish with tofu, it’s excellent.“

“Really enjoyed our meal at Szechuan Opera in American Dream! The food was flavorful and there were plenty of great options to choose from. The pan-fried pork buns were surprisingly huge and so good with a little vinegar, and the dry pot tofu with tofu puffs, broccoli, bean curd sticks, and bell peppers was packed with flavor.“

“Everything is good“

“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! ?“

“Delicious, satisfying, amd reasonably priced. Wish I was able to share the exact names of the dishes I had, but I would be giving false information. One was grilled fish, and the other was a boneless fish. They give you rice on the side so be sure to come hungry.“

“Love this chinese fast food spot! I order out from here at least 3x/month. Typically, my husband gets the boneless spare ribs white rice combo with wonton soup. I get the shrimp with broccoli, white rice or pork fried rice combo with egg roll. Never disappoints. The soup broth is definitely elevated, better than the typical Chinese food spot. Interior needs a major update.“
