“Really good food and late nights eats to be quite honest. It’s affordable to people going to Rutgers nearby and quick and easy to get to. Not too far from the yard and it makes it more convenient if you’re a nearby college student or just living in the area. Good eats I’d say“

“The entire staff was outstanding! This all-you-can-eat hot pot restaurant is sure to lift your spirits, and the wide variety of delicious options really whets your appetite. It’s the perfect place to enjoy lunch with family and friends. We’ve had a wonderful time every time we’ve dined here, and we’ll be back soon.“

“Been here a few times. The original location in edison (back in the day) has been my go to for tasty chinese... and I appreciate the spin off locations for more accessibility to good food. I always get (and always love) a few orders of XLB, chicken cabbage rice cakes, and rotate through their spicy noodle features. We had the kids with us last time, so we also added an order of sesame balls.

It's always fun to watch the staff make the dumplings on site, and their XLB is noticiely bigger and juicier than most other places. However, it did seem to fall apart more than I remember - it's always a bummer when they pop prematurely. I also felt their sesame balls could have been fried a bit longer for more crisp, and there was just a general smell of cleaning liquid throughout (authentically Chinese but clashes with the nice decor and stamped napkins & gold plates).

Otherwise a decent experience and most likely will continue to patronize.“

“This place is the most solid and consistent American Chinese restaurant in the entire New Brunswick area. Portions are fantastic and the food is always so hot and fresh. They are happy to accommodate my vegan partner by subbing tofu for meat in already vegan dishes.“

“I had a great experience at this Venezuelan-Chinese restaurant in the U.S. The food tastes just like back home in Venezuela, authentic, flavorful, and really well prepared. Every dish reminded me of that classic Chinese Venezuelan flavor we love so much. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was very welcoming. Overall, everything was excellent and I will definitely be coming back.“

“Excellent Dim Sum. Friendly service 👍“

“Tasty Kitchen truly exceeded expectations! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The fried rice was perfectly seasoned! The beef and broccoli was tender with a rich, savory sauce. The sushi rolls and Kani Salad were amazing!
The wings were SO crispy and juicy Everything tasted like it was made with care and quality ingredients. We were so content and happy with all our food choices that we got and the variety of food to choose from is absolutely great!

On top of that, the restaurant and kitchen were extremely clean, which made the experience even better and more reassuring. You can tell they take pride not only in their food but also in maintaining a spotless environment.

I’ve lived in the area for about 26 years, and this is hands down the best Chinese/Japanese food in town! Today is the first time we tried their Chinese and we dined in! We had only tried their sushi twice before at a friends house and we loved it so we decided to finally come and take a look ourselves!

Let me tell you I highly recommend Tasty Kitchen if you’re looking for delicious, high-quality Chinese food! Definitely will be coming here whenever we are craving Chinese or sushi!“

“Great food, friendly generous owner operators, generous portions“

“Was in the area and tried this place for the first time and really enjoyed it. Price was good and the portion size was very good! Flavorful and really tasty pork dumplings in broth. I appreciated the bok choy in the broth. If I’m in the area again, I would like to try other items on the menu.“

“Inexpensive - great for lunch - not crowded - excellent service - pot.of tea right away - Sat & sun jammed cause the Dim Sum is so extensive and delicious. Easy parking right in front“

“Excellent service, food good and they are always so kind and nice ???“

“Best in 30 years only place I get Chineese! Best of the Best!“

“China Garden is definitely one of the best spots around if you’re looking for affordable and delicious Chinese takeout. The food is consistently good — flavorful, fresh, and satisfying. When you pick up your order directly, the prices are very reasonable. I spent about $18 for two full meals, which is a great deal considering the portion sizes.

Just a heads up: if you order through Uber Eats or other delivery apps, the total can get pretty pricey with fees and markups. So if you want to keep it affordable, picking up is definitely the way to go.

Overall, a great choice for a tasty, budget-friendly meal when you’re craving Chinese!“

“Fast, fresh and delicious. Friendly owners, free cans of sodas on certain days and/or if you buy a few dinners? Not positive how it works but the first time the lady told me that I was happy, that’s how you treat customers, paired with quality Chinese food and you have yourself a go to spot.“

“Indo-Chinese food is delicious. Very clean place and nice service. Worth it. Definitely will come next time..“

“This review is long overdue. I actually live in VA. However, every time I come up to Jersey to visit family I always order from China Wok. My family never ordered from here until I tried it out. They enjoy the food as well. We've tried different dishes and have yet to be disappointed. My orders are always delivery. I have yet to visit the restaurant in person. I highly recommend China Wok.“

“This was my first time ordering Chinese food in hillsborough. The food was very good ; I placed my online order and my food was ready when I arrived. I rated the atmosphere 3 stars because I did not eat inside. Therefore, I can not give the restaurant so a review based on the atmosphere. I would definitely order take out again; good food, timely service and reasonable price.“

“This has been my only go to Chinese food since I tasted it well over a decade ago! It’s always fresh and the place is clean! The family is super friendly and will substitute whatever I ask for. The portions are plenty and we often have this as a family gathering:event. They also have amazing combination dishes, something for everyone. Plus they have a discounted lunch menu that’s a fantastic price 11-3 . I definitely recommend trying them out . Honestly, even with delivery and the next town over it’s always here very quickly. Every time I call up make an order it’s ready as soon as I walk in the door. They even have coupons on their paper menu plus they give free items with large orders such as soup, egg rolls or large sodas. Five stars from my entire family ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“My special meal is the Hunan Fried Rice with a dollar beef dollar shrimp, which is my favorite meal. I also love the fried chicken wings , which are always very good and crispy. And customer service is excellent and all the staff members of hunan chinese restaurant.“

“New Szechuan Kitchen is a decent Chinese restaurant, though the food is a bit on the greasy side for my liking. The flavors are generally good, but I found the dishes to be a bit overly oily.

That said, I do prefer the Bound Brook location 1,000 times more than this one. The flavor and consistency at the Bound Brook spot is much better in my experience.

Overall, New Szechuan Kitchen is an average Chinese restaurant. The food is okay, but nothing particularly remarkable. If you're in the mood for some classic Chinese fare, it might be worth a try, but I'd recommend the Bound Brook location over this one if you have the option.“

“Very nice preparation and prompt service“

“They have the best Chinese to me compare to other Chinese places… especially the egg foo young I just love the taste of there gravy, the employees are so nice and respectful, very patient with me and my co workers, I even come when I go home and pick up food to eat for dinner everything is good, no complaint's“

“Absolutely- The Best Chinese Place To Goto in Somerset Nj, The Inside Is alway's extremely clean, The Portion size was on point & the taste of the food, & the great service will leave you Coming back for Second's! 5 Stars!! ? ??“

“Food is consistent and has lots of flavor. Always fresh and made efficiently. It’s a standard Chinese spot with limited seating and decorations but the food is delicious.

I have taken the food to multiple events and people unfamiliar with it love it. I hope they continue to have good quality and home style cooking.“

“Ordered from Mei Mei Wok for the first time tonight. Was looking for a new place to order Chinese food from and found them through a Google search.They have a convenient and easy to use ordering app. Placed my order through the app before I left work and it was ready when I arrived on my way home. Kept it simple and stuck to my normal choices of an egg roll, pork lo mein and General Tso chicken. Totally impressed! The egg roll was crispy and tasty, the pork lo mein was very good and the General Tso probably the best I have ever had. Will definitely be ordering from them in the future!“

“These are not the only dishes we ordered. There were a few more like stir fried crab, and a vegetable. They are all so good!

The best thing about this place is that the seafood is fresh. And the server super helpful and easy to talk to. We like discussing what seafood is fresh and what she recommends. I’ve been here twice, and will come back more.

It’s like a home cooked meal from a family by the sea in China. Love it.“

“We went for the dinner. Food was good. The lady taking orders and serving food at the table was very nice & friendly. The place was clean. Their portion is very big so if you don’t have that much appetite, 2 people can eat from one order of Entree which is fantastic & prices are very reasonable.

Vegetarian options: Many Vegetarian options“

“I've always liked the food from China City 2, and I've never had a bad meal from here. Also, the lady is very nice and friendly. However, since the pandemic began in early-2020, their prices have gone through the roof!!! I understand, same thing could be said for supermarkets, gas, and the supply chain, but this is borderline insane pricing! Maybe their rent went up 75%? Not sure... Whatever the case may be, I used to be able to get a soup, egg roll, and some kind of chicken or beef and broccoli dish, with roast pork fried rice, for around $12. Now it's around $19. Big difference! Still fresh, clean and tasty, but for a take-out joint, a bit overly expensive, to say the least!“

“The pork lo mein special is to die for; first place I’ve found that puts long, juicy slices of pork in the lo mein instead of measly crumbs. The steamed dumplings are also very tasty. The ordering process was very easy and the food was made very quickly. Will come again.“

“Authentic asian cuisine. Everything from signature Burritos to Japanese Ramen this place doesn't disappoint. Sushi was fresh and rolled tight, The miso soups are on point. Milk and fruit tea available. Staff is friendly and service was quick.“

“Recently ate at this restaurant and was pleasantly surprised by the experience!

Food -
It's an eclectic mix of sushi and a pan-Asian menu of some Chinese, Japanese, and Thai dishes. We opted for the AYCE sushi option and our youngun ordered off the menu. The sushi tasted fresh and was well made. We ordered a few non-sushi items as well - the miso soup, scallion pancakes, and General Tso's chicken were good. They have decent chicken nuggets, which helped with our child's selectiveness.

Service -
The restaurant was fairly slow at the time we were there so service was reasonable. The sushi was made quicker than some of the cooked dishes. The server was nice and attentive.

Atmosphere -
It's a fairly no frills environment. It can probably hold 30 diners without an issue should it ever reach capacity. It's clean enough and has a TV, which is rare in Asian restaurants but nice to see (especially during World Cup season!).

Overall, had a lovely time with my family and would frequent it again!“

“This was the best place I’ve ever eaten. I’ve never felt more connected to my culture. I love Chinese food. I ate breakfast, lunch and dinner here for three years. and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Staff were so sweet and their son is so cool. Yummy food!“

“I've been there many times and the place is super busy so you may wait I never order anything that's real intricate for them to make I order simple stuff tell me Hunan shrimp pork fried rice spare ribs usually the food is priced less than anybody else around the quality of the food seems very good for takeout Chinese you got to remember this is not gourmet food not bad food for the money my best advice to you keep it simple when you order there some stuff when you're busy takes too long to prepare anyway the girl there speaks hardly any English and I can't understand when she talks but the the gentleman behind the stove is English is very good the food is good 1050 for a combination meal is very fairly priced everybody else is 12-15 for the same meal I recommend going there and you might wait 15 minutes 20 minutes even if you call they are very busy because your food is good and your prices are cheap bottom line if you expecting gourmet food I would not go there and“

“fresh great food light flavorful“

“My family always order the shrimp with garlic sauce and pork fried rice from Chen Kitchen. We have been coming here for many years and the food is always consistent. The staff is always friendly and pleasant. If you are looking for consistency and excellent Chinese food, try Chen's Kitchen in Middlesex. Highly recommend.“

“Great food!“

“I didn’t eat Chinese food because I’m picky with chicken , I never like any place . This place is so good . I can’t stop ordering it . My favorite is the general Tso chicken ! By far the best.“

“Tasty food I ordered their Thai food it was tasty“

“We were frequent visitors to this restaurant for a few decades, and for some reason stopped coming.\n\nIt is solely a take-out Chinese, because there is only one table with four chairs inside. People mostly order online or by phone and then pick up the food.\n\nOn a whim, we decided to order from here after a few years. I am extremely glad that they have maintained their quality and standards. What we got was delicious – Chicken Fried Wings, Black Pepper Chicken, Vegetable Fried Rice, Curry Chicken and Sichuan Dumplings. The food smelled heavenly in my car and tasted just as good when I served it.\n\nWith the quality of Chinese food going down the hill where we live, we will be regulars here again.“

“I love their garlic shrimp with scallops menu item. I always get it for take-out. I have eaten at least 20 of them. There is a problem with their packaging. They put the food into a white plastic container that ALWAYS leaks. The container is not water-proof. They put the white container into a brown bag and put that into a plastic bag. The sauce leaks from the white container through the brown bag and into the plastic bag. When I open the white container, I get sauce from the bottom of the container all over my kitchen counter and have a mess to clean up. I have seen other take-out containers and NONE of them ever leak. This business needs to get a liquid-proof or water-proof container to put the food in so the sauce does not leak out. Wake up please!!!!!!!!!!!

I ordered a take-out today July 31, 2024 and was surprised to see they have a new container that, when held upright, does not leak. One good step in the right direction. I wish they would go one more step and use a truly watertight container. Many restaurants use waterproof containers so an even better type of container does exist.“

“Great food. Prices are a little high, but worth the price for the tasty food. Only real game in branchburg. Other Chinese restaurants around are sadly pretty bad. I would not go anywhere else. Good stuff...normally more than you can eat in one sitting. Big portions. ?“

“I Would Fight a Bear for This Chinese Food

Alright, folks, gather ‘round. I have a story to tell. I recently moved back to Jersey from Florida, and if you’ve ever lived in Florida, you know two things: 1) Alligators will steal your golf balls, and 2) They have no idea how to make good Chinese food. Seriously, I don’t know what’s going on down there, but I’ve had dumplings in Florida that tasted like they had an identity crisis halfway through cooking.

But then, this place happened.

I ordered (purely in the name of science, of course), and I swear on my fortune cookie—I have seen the light.

Let’s break it down:

Pork Fried Rice – Perfectly seasoned, fluffy, with that little hint of wok magic that tells me someone back there knows what they’re doing. This isn’t just rice; this is a lifestyle choice.

10-Piece Crabmeat Rangoons – I took a bite and immediately questioned every life decision that led me to eat subpar rangoons in the past. Crispy? Check. Creamy? Check. So addictive I’d trade my Netflix password for another order? Check.

Chicken and Broccoli – I think it hugged me from the inside. The chicken was tender, the sauce was divine, and the broccoli wasn’t that sad, overcooked mess some places give you. No, this was vibrant, fresh, and ready to be devoured.

Now, here’s the thing—I don’t just like this place. I am now in a full-blown, committed relationship with this restaurant. I will be talking about it at parties. I will be bringing out-of-town guests here like I personally own stock in it. And I will not rest until I have left a five-star review on every single platform known to mankind. Google? Done. Yelp? Already there. Carrier pigeon message straight to their kitchen? Give me time.

In fact, I’m already researching pigeon care because if that’s what it takes to support this mission, then so be it. I will foster a pigeon. I will name it Lo Mein and train it to deliver handwritten praise directly to the chefs.

And to anyone who dares say anything bad about this food—I’m convinced you have burned off all your taste buds. The only possible explanation is that you’ve been eating nothing but plain porridge your entire life and now mistake "flavor" for a personal attack. Seek help. Seek seasoning. Seek this restaurant.

Whoever is back there making this food, just know—I appreciate you. I see you. I love you. Expect me back. Probably too often. Possibly enough to be concerning.

10/10. No notes. Perfection achieved.“

“We absolutely love Happy China and have been ordering from here at least three times a month for the past five years. The food is usually delicious, and it has definitely become one of our family’s regular spots.

I will say that the food can occasionally be a little inconsistent, but they are accommodating when you call and explain exactly what you want and how you would like it prepared. We’ve had a few hiccups over the years, but whenever I’ve contacted them about an issue, they have always tried to make it right. Since we live nearby, they will usually deliver a remade item or give us a credit toward our next order.

Even my family from New York orders from Happy China whenever they visit, and they always rave about how good the food is. Despite the occasional inconsistency, the taste of the food is why we continue ordering so often.“
