6 Best Chinese Restaurants near Lodi

“We are seriously SO impressed with Essex Chinese Kitchen. The food is amazing — everything tasted incredibly fresh, flavorful, and high quality. And on top of that, the prices are very reasonable for the portions you get.

We ordered the bubble teas (brown sugar milk tea and original milk tea), and they were SO good — perfectly balanced with that floral black tea flavor coming through. Not overly sweet, just smooth and refreshing.

I got the golden fried brown shrimp with fried rice and it was FIRE. Crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. My boyfriend ordered the chicken and broccoli, and they absolutely do NOT skimp on portions. The serving sizes were generous and so satisfying.

The staff were also super friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better.

Honestly, we found our spot. We’re definitely becoming regulars. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!“

“BEST CHINESE IN BERGEN COUNTY

I stopped eating just to write how much I love this spot. I order almost once a week. The food never disappoints and I believe they truly deserve 5 stars. They have wonderful customer service, always pleasant when I call, speedy delivery, and quality food (and packaging) There is no other chinese food in bergen country i’ve found that I can say has all of these qualities about them. Tonight I ordered sweet and sour chicken with chicken lo mein. The lo mein is so good I would give it a 9/10. The sweet and sour chicken is my favorite. 10/10. Highly recommend if you want quick delivery and great chinese food.“

“Finally a good solid Chinese take out place. We are always trying to find a good Chinese place and this place was it! Fast delivery service and everything came hot! The flavor was so good on everything and we will definitely be ordering from here again!!! I ate to eat the food too fast to take any pics but it was great!“

“I’ve been ordering from here for years and it’s consistently great. I have my signature dishes I usually order (peanut butter wontons, Singapore mei fun, dragon, steamed dumplings, and beef chow fun) but everything I’ve had is always good. Highly recommend, one, if not the best, Chinese food in the area.“

“I'm from New York City and in the '80s we used to get the best barbecue spare rib tips in Brooklyn from the local Chinese restaurants They make them how I remember them in the '80s. So that's nostalgic for me. Other than that the only thing I usually get is the hot and spicy shrimp. My husband and I love that. Their egg foo young is good too. And they're wanton soup is delicious. I'm old school. I usually stick to the same basic things that I like. Oh and they're fried rice is good too. I usually get fried rice with beef shrimp and pork in it and sometimes chicken. Love that with hot mustard and duck sauce. They also offer delivery which is great. You don't have to go through Uber or DoorDash. You don't wait too long and our delivery guy is always pleasant. Be kind and dont forget to tip. I always tip $5. The fact that they actually deliver is really worth it.“
