50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Manalapan

“Fantastic food and a great atmosphere!“

“General Tso’s chicken was crispy and perfectly done, right amount of spice level for me, few freshly steamed broccoli and white rice cooked to deliciousness! With one spring roll (we split the order, there were two) all and all, great lunch.“

“The food is really great. Big portions and better than other Chinese restaurants in the area as well as surrounding counties. We have gone there many times. Suki is nice, hospitable and makes the dinner enjoyable.“

“The food was ok. Similar to other places. Had the steamed dumplings and general tso's lunch special. The special came with hot and sour soup and vegetable fried rice as I ordered. The fried rice was good. The soup v was tasty, but a little bit too sour compared to many others I have had. The general tso's chicken was very good and had a nice spice to it. A nice surprise was the chicken was white meat.“

“I haven't actually been inside the restaurant but I have ordered takeout. The food always arrives quickly and the delivery persons are always friendly, courteous and polite. It's very rare that I've ordered anything that I don't have to add anything to salt or pepper soy sauce duck sauce that type of things, but I haven't had to add anything to enhance the flavor of their food everything I've ordered from there has been just perfectly delicious!!! The one dish that I've absolutely fell in love with is there shrimp noodle soup! It's packed with noodles and they're not stingy with the shrimp! And the gravy that comes with their Egg Foo Young is exquisite. I've decided that every time I order (and mind you I really don't like to experiment when it comes to food) but I'm going to try at least one thing that I have never tried before. So far I've had the house special fried rice, the house special lo mein, the house special egg foo young, the chicken noodle soup, the egg drop wonton mix soup and again I'm going to mention the shrimp noodle soup. The rice is perfectly done that comes with the egg foo young. Anyway I just want it to get my opinion on what I think is great takeout. One day soon I'm going to actually go and dine in. I'm quite sure it will be a pleasant experience.“

“Bella, our waitress in Freehold, was amazing!! She was friendly and provided very good service!! You could tell she loved her job!! We have been to this restaurant several times before and visit the restaurant when we come to Freehold Mall!! The food is absolutely yummy!!“

“This is the only place I feel safe ordering in from as someone with food allergies. I have a dairy and gluten allergy and they are so accommodating with the dishes. You get big portions for a good price and the food is always so fresh. I also have a super stomach with some problems so I always feel icky eating out and since the food is cooked in high quality oil I never feel icky after eating here which is SO rare for me. The owner is incredibly kind and told me how she also has food allergies and is happy to make modifications and help. It’s so rare that restaurants welcome modifications and she always does so for me. I’ve never gotten sick here and it’s the one restaurant I feel comfortable ordering in from and look forward to doing so every week. The entire staff is helpful and are always kind and respectful even when the phone is ringing like crazy and there’s a line for pick up. They never rush you and always make you feel welcome. A local gem- thank you to the incredibly owner for giving us allergy people a safe place with delicious food and for accommodating me with a smile. I appreciate you so much. Please support this local small business“

“Love their Bento boxes!!!“

“I haven't ordered from here in years but since I'm sick at home decided to get something delivered. I ordered online so it was easy. I am so pleased! The food arrived within 30 minites and was piping hot! The hot & sour soup is full of flavor and veggies and mushrooms. It is exceptionally tasty. I ordered steamed wontons in garlic sauce and love these! I think these are amazing! I might be addicted to them. The egg roll is crispy and perfectly done. I haven't tried my chicken lo mein yet because I am saving it for dinner. But I had to review this before I have a food coma lol ? Thank you. Sultan Wok. You made me happy ?“

“Inside will not knock your shoes off, but I have to say the best dam authentic beef noodle soup I ever had. And ohh boy, I get around. Most dishes are top notch. I would drop some money in an interior remodel if was owner. I know peoole who dont eat here because its not updated. Definitely a spot I will continue to visit.“

“For takeout it's awesome. It is not a place that I would sit down and eat at you most certainly can. But it definitely seems extremely boring and I also need to add that I only eat shrimp rolls mostly which they are awesome maybe once in awhile I will go for an egg roll which is fine. The soup is good and boneless spare ribs are good and the orange chicken is awesome“

“Nice little place we tried out about a month ago and have been back twice since.. very good food and very fair prices. Also you can get a pint or quart of most of the main dishes which is always a nice option to have.. friendly staff and they honored the coupon that I forgot to bring with me . ?“

“Since moving here we tried a bunch of different places until finding J&P. Four four years now this is the only spot that we all consistently love and has stellar service. They don't deliver to us so we go and pick it up, it's ALWAYS ready within 15 minutes. Service is great, food is always awesome.“

“Golden Bao is always great! The food is always prepared well and quickly. I have seen them working during very busy rushes and it is incredible how many orders they accomplish at once. I have also yet to experience an order mistake and I will order once a week for me and my staff. 10 out of 10.“

“A small takeout Chinese eatery with a fairly standard menu selection bearing high average prices. Hong Kong Express serves americanized Chinese fare. Set in a small strip mall, there seems to be adequate parking. Upon entering, the first impression is clean. Featuring newer furnishings, decor and construction. As a child took my order and payment, this is clearly a family business.
So I've only had one dish at this place. I can say for freshness of ingredients, it's excellent. For amount of meat added, average. Unfortunately my dish was extremely bland. I had to add 7 packets of various sauce and that was still not enough. As I make this dish at home, the main sauce is soy. I wish I had grabbed more.
Speaking of sauce, no sauce, forks, chopsticks or napkins were added or offered. I'm glad I checked and added on my own.
This business succeeds in 2 major ways most other Chinese places don't (freshness and cleanliness). I hope I just caught an off dish. I'd return, but until I had a better dish, I wouldn't recommend.“

“Amazing resturaunt!!! Our waitress Vicky made our incredible experience even better!! Would highly recommend!!“

“We ordered delivery to the raddison in freehold nj. Was absolutely fantastic! We stayed in freehold for 4 days and had takeout every night and this was by far the best takeout of our trip. We tried a wide variety of dishes and appetizers and it was all delicious. A must try if you are ever in the area.“

“oh my god good eats!!!!! ordered was told 1/2 hour but was ready for pick up when i got there in 10 they don't deliver though too bad i'll have to go get it it's way worth it!!!! im gonna be eating this for a week its so big for under $10

Parking: plenty

Kid-friendliness: sweet people nice to my dog too!!!!“

“food was excellent we were a party of 4 we all order different combo meals which included egg roll,choice of soup, entree and desert which was a verity flavors of ice cream while we waited for our meals we had hot tea and fried noodles with duck sauce for dipping overall it was a great experience

Parking: Huge parking lot“

“I have been ordering from Golden Star for awhile now...for a local Chinese takeout/delivery they are very very good... Their food is always good, fresh and delivered quickly...even if they say 35 minutes it is at your door in 20. They accommodate special menu requests with no problem and offer lunch specials and have coupons. I really cannot say anything negative...if you're looking for a local chinese spot please look no further!!!“

“Very good Cantonese cuisine, one of the best in America“

“Stopped in for lunch while out on some errands. Food came out quickly and was delicious - General Tso chicken had just a light breading, which set it apart from others I've had. The owner was friendly and courteous, and even brought us out a plate of watermelon, which was great on a hot, muggy summer day. Will be back!“

“We were planning a big party at our HOA and after trying almost a dozen Chinese Restaurants, that did catering, we tried Cheng Garden.
We knew we'd found gold when every dish we tested tasted like what we ordered, instead of all having one flavor. The chicken, beef & pork were tender and not fatty, the vegetables were fresh and crispy and the flavors were delightful.
They couldn't have been more helpful or pleasant to deal with and their prices were right in line.
On the day of the party, all the trays were ready for pick up at the specified time, packed in boxes and piping hot. One box was accidentally left behind and Cheng Garden immediately ran it over.
But the best part of all was that everyone loved the food. The party was in June and we're still getting great reviews and members requesting Cheng's address.
We're so glad we found Cheng Garden!“

“I have been eating here for a while now, as I have eaten at other places for asian food, I find this place to be the best in the area. Boneless ribs, Lomein, sweet n sour chk all good.“

“Amazing food and service, also great prices. They are fast to deliver as well.“

“Lovely restaurant. My wife was working in the area and decided to pick up some take out for dinner; 2nd best decision she made in her life, next to marrying me ?. Everything tasted so fresh!!! They did not half a** anything. Their eggrolls are a must try, extremely fresh!We are originally from Brooklyn, NY, so we had our share of Chinese takeout… so if we are traveling 30 mins both ways for Chinese takeout, that should say a lot. This place does not miss ?? Hits the spot every time.“

“Good food and good prices. Over 200 choices on their menu!
Extra kudos for the friendly service provided by Cindy! She clearly wants the customers to leave happy.

Parking: There is a huge parking lot in front of the restaurant.“

“It did its job perfectly.
You choose from all the preparations, up to four per plate, which was our choice for 11.99 dollars. You stay very full, good portion.
I chose teriyaki chicken, sweet chicken, rice and crab salad.
I would repeat if I returned to this area.“

“This restaurant is obviously one of the coolest restaurants in the region. Always when I come there I am incredibly happy. They maintain their very high standard service and the topmost level of cooking they give. You always win with this restaurant. Highly recommended.“

“We do not order food often but I ordered from Liu's Kitchen for the first time to try them out. The service was amazing. They were very kind on the phone. The order was delivered quicker than expected. The delivery guy was even friendlier. The food was well portioned and everything was delicious. I am glad to know this place is close to home. If you are looking for a good Chinese restaurant, I recommend ordering from here.“

“The BEST gluten-free chinese food you will find in NJ! It's worth driving to.

I've never had any issues eating here and I am very sensitive to gluten.

The food tastes great, the service is very good, and the prices are reasonable.“

“The food is very good, always fresh, and never oversalted. NO MSG here! The family who runs this establishment is very kind and accommodating if you alert them to food sensitivities or if you must adhere to a special diet. If you are gluten free your choices may be limited, but there are a good number of options. Extremely clean kitchen.“

“My husband and I were craving Indian so we decided to try this place. Firstly, picking up it was the nicest customer service. The man was so personal and friendly, it was like walking into a family restaurant. He gave me a tea, some yummy dessert and he didn’t even want to accept money for it.

Secondly, we devoured everything. It was all so delicious and it filled us all up. We got three things but the chicken tikka was amazing.

Overall, I would highly recommend ordering from here. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Just moved in the East Brunswick area about a year ago. I’ve tried a few Chinese restaurants and eventually tried this one. This has been the best Chinese food that I’ve tried. I’ve ordered 4 times since my first order and haven’t been disappointed. My Chinese food search has come to the end as this is my Go-To Chinese store! Food has always been hot and fresh! Service is fairly quick as well.“

“This is a take out restaurant. Perfect chinese food for a traditional Christmas lunch. We especially loved that they were generous with vegetables in all the dishes we ordered. And, they were generous with the hot oil upon request. Yummm.“

“The best Chinese food in Monroe. And I'm from Brooklyn so I know good Chinese food.“

“Asian Fun never disappoints! While my son has his staple Chicken and Broccoli, whenever I try different dishes they are always good. The service is fast and friendly when we go to pick-up.“

“Great food! The wontons in the wonton soup are so delicate and the broth, delicious. I start off with that every time. My entree favorites are the Kung Pao Chicken Schezuan style and the Three Pepper Chicken. Even the General Tsos is delicious. Crispy on the outside and tender inside with a sweet spicy sauce.“

“When it comes to your little "typical" chinese places this is it. Nothing fancy. No high priced items. Yet the flavor and quality of food is way above any other "typical" place. Tried it last week for the first time and loved it so much had it again 2 days later. Ive had the boneless spare ribs my fav dish at places like this and also the chicken in garlic sauce which is my fav sauce in places like this. I would order both again easily. If i had to pick on something it would be the eggrolls. First time it was full of stuff second time more wrapper than fillinh.“

“Everything was delicious and the staff were absolutely excellent in every way!“

“This is our go to for Chinese. Have always had a good experience. The dumplings are amazing. Just the right amount of dough. Huge fans of the mei fun, generals, orange and sesame chicken and the boneless spareribs. All dinner combos of course. Definitely give them a shot.“

“I have been ordering here for a very long time. Their food is consistently delicious. I try to order something different every time, and to that end they give me suggestions. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Their food is delicious and their staff is always Courteous. I cannot recommend this place highly enough! Even the wonton soup is delicious! It is the only Chinese food place I will ever order from!“

“I’ve been eating at this place for a while. It’s pretty good standard Chinese food oh and the sushi is always good. The reason I’m writing this review is because of their delivery driver. An older gentleman came to my door with a smile very friendly. After he handed me the bag he extended his hand for a hand shake and said happy new year. You don't see that type of kindness/friendliness every day. Give panda house a try good people work there“

“Delicious sweet and sour chicken! So fresh and picked up nice and hot. My son loves the chicken and broccoli combination.The wonton soup was good but I would like to see scallions and small pieces of roast pork if possible. I Also liked the steamed dishes!The moo-shu chicken was delicious and the hoisin sauce was amazing!“

“The service was the best thing about China Moon. The young man who helped me was extremely kind and very helpful. This is no longer an eat in restaurant to it is take out only so the atmosphere leaves much to be desired. The food was hot but not the best they've ever made.“

“Pricey yet the food is definitely amazing with lots of love and definitely a lot of portions. Very unique flavors and don't hesitate to ask for taste liking on plates. Amazing people and compliments to the chef. The place quiet and very comfortable if staying in, the food is so amazing guaranteed to hit the spot no matter any weather.

“This was the first time I've eaten here. I ordered the shrimp wonton noodle soup with mei fun noodles. It was a huge bowl. The wontons were delicious, and the broth was tasty without being salty. I am including pictures of what my dining partners ate. I look forward to trying more items from the menu.“

“Thankfully Sultans Palace has been open for all these years.Everytime, that I have a urge for quality food made with love.
