50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Maplewood

“To be honest, the food is good. All places around here the prices went up, so I don't think it's a big deal.“

“A Maplewood Gem: Bill & Harry's Chinese Restaurant

As a longtime Maplewood resident, I've been enjoying Bill & Harry's since childhood, and it never disappoints. This family-owned restaurant has been serving authentic Chinese cuisine for years, maintaining excellent quality and warm hospitality.

The owners' dedication is evident in every visit. Their genuine kindness creates a welcoming atmosphere that keeps locals coming back. It's a joy to see my own children now sharing my enthusiasm for Bill & Harry's.

The menu offers delicious, generously portioned dishes that always hit the spot.

Bill & Harry's isn't just a restaurant; it's a cherished part of Maplewood's community. For anyone craving delicious Chinese fare in a friendly setting, I highly recommend giving Bill & Harry's a try. It's a local tradition that stands the test of time.“

“So the food is actually excellent. I’d love to give them five stars except 1. I have no idea what I was charged so much for (I ordered Chicken Egg Foo Young w/FF, Spring Roll, and small Egg Drop Soup; $24) 2. There’s a few different prices on the menu for the same items and 3. I can be wrong because it’s the first time I tried Egg Foo Young ever but I don’t see or taste any chicken in my Chicken Egg Foo Young. The food really is amazing though. I’ll definitely order from them again because it’s really hard for me to find a Chinese food place I really like. Asia Garden is so far the top Chinese food place for me. Hunan Wok can easily take 2nd place.“

“I live in Roselle Park. first time ordering from Lin's garden I had fried dumplings and a combination of beef and broccoli something simple but yeah very good I have to say I would definitely recommend this place nice flavoring and decent pricing.“

“The food was delicious. This is a family owned restaurant and we were treated with wonderful kindness and just the right amount of attention. There are not a lot of this style of Mongolian stir-fry places left, and this is by far the best of them.“

“Stopped in while my son was at soccer practice on a whim last night and was blown away by the food and the amazingly friendly staff. The noodles were out of this world!! Prices were very reasonable esp in this economy. Will definitely be returning.“

“Lucky Foo in Kearny, NJ: The Real Deal Chinese Experience

If you're looking for that authentic, no-frills Chinese spot, Lucky Foo is for you.

If you're expecting some fancy American-style service, you might be in for a shock. But trust me, that's part of the charm. It's just one person cooking and one serving, and their mission? Get that homemade food to you, no matter how long it takes. Don't come here if you're in a rush - this is slow food at its finest. I learned about this style of service living in Hawaii, so it felt familiar to me.

Now, let's talk about the star of the show - the food. It's clean, packed with homestyle flavor, and will leave you feeling satisfied. That noodle soup? Pure magic. When I'm craving authentic, homemade noodle soup, this is the spot I head to. It's not an everyday thing, but when that specific craving hits, Lucky Foo delivers.

The vibe inside is something else. It's quiet - like, eerily quiet - and filled with what looked like college-age Asian students. No background music, no chitchat, just people focused on their bowls or phones. It's an experience, I'm telling you.

Don't expect any fancy menus - it's all up on the wall. And heads up, it's cash only. But honestly? The food is so good, you won't even care.

If you're after authentic Chinese cuisine without any of the fuss, Lucky Foo is your spot. It might not be for everyone, but for those who get it? It's a little slice of homestyle heaven right here in Kearny.“

“My favorite place to get bbq chicken wings from & shrimp rolls. The food is amazing here.“

“1st time here, the service was amazing, all employees were very kind, friendly & pay attention on their customers [Very Professional👍].

Foods were not bad. We like the Dumpling Soup / Xiao Long Bao, Crab Rangoon was pretty good, too.
We love the snow peas shoot steamed vegetables.
Peking duck was ok. The Mala Pot dish was disappointed, didn't taste Mala at all & and was tasteless. Veggie Lo Mien was not bad.
They gave us Free Ice Cream 🥰

We're still going back here for the good foods & will try a different dish every time we're coming 😎
*Very Recommended | this spot is a Must Try*“

“If you’re looking for delicious authentic Sichaun dishes, recommend getting the Soup dumplings, Mongolian Beef, Dandan Noodles, Scallion Pankcakes, Chef Tan Style Fried Rice, Shrimp fried rice, Sichuan Style Hot & Sour Glass Noodles and Vegetarian String Beans. Heat levels can be adjusted to your liking.“

“Little disappointed at this place. Saw they had Crispy Beef with Fresh Honey Walnuts Beef with a bed of steamed broccoli in a sweet brown sauce topped with sugared walnuts. Not crispy as from can see in pic. Was this really beef also? Walnuts were plain as well.Steamed Spinach Dumplings were a bit dry . Hunan Dumplings Spinach and beef dumplings topped with spicy peanut sauce. Spicy. I got not spicy but were very good. Would I try again. Yes think I would.“

“I have lived in town for about 6 years. We found this restaurant online and gave it a try. We ordered the pineapple and chicken fried rice, a dish called Phoenix, and the General Tso's Shrimp. Each dish was excellent and the staff was warm and friendly. Will continue to buy food from here!!!!HOT AND SOUR SOUP WONDERFUL!!! GOOD FOR COLDS!!!!“

“First time here at the good “Panda China” restaurant. First impression? Fine addition to the community. The young lady that took my order was very pleasant. The chef seemed skilled and I must say the vegetables in both dishes (vegetable fried rice and lo mein) were fresh and full is flavor. The chicken wings were fried nicely and hard as we requested. This was overall a very good experience. We will be returning customer.“

“Here's a great review for you guys. I'm not one to EVER reheat Chinese food the next day...or ever. My husband ordered from here for him and the kids while I was at work this past weekend. Not only did I reheat it after work and it was delicious, but I ate it for lunch the next day, too, and still really good. I think this was the first time I reheated Chinese food in about twenty yrs lol. Will order again,thanks.“

“I'm actually very impressed with this place. We were looking for something on Christmas Day and was glad we found here. What a hidden gem! The food was hot and fresh and not overly sweet or drenched in salty sauce like some of your other Chinese take out places! Heck they even ran a lunch specials on Christmas Day! Awesome price and generous portions. We got the beef chow fun, shrimp with broccoli, hunan tofu and chicken with spring beans. And honestly everything was quiet good and not overly salty or too sweet. Also they have brown rice! Which is awesome. A great spot and we will be back!“

“Best Chinese food in Cassiac! The owners were super sweet and the food was delicious. Went here 3 times last week to try different dishes, and the eggrolls are the best thing on their menu. Will visit soon again when I'm back in Cassiac, and can't wait to go back!“

“My family and I come here all the time for large family gatherings. The food is absolutely phenomenal here, especially the pecking duck buns and sweet and sour pork. We also love the soy sea bass, crispy chicken, ginger scallion lobster, pork chops and corn egg drop soup. One time we brought them king crab legs to cook and they cooked all of our king crab legs to perfection!! I don’t usually write google reviews but this place is so special to me and my family and adore this spot. The service is so fast and attentive and they are kind enough to provide free dessert whether that be fresh oranges, fresh fruit or even sometimes sweet red bean soup! Please consider coming here and supporting them! They’re so deserving, hardworking and kind!!“

“As a Asian food enthusiast I’ll have to say that this place have one of the best Pork Fried Rice in the area, we visit this place very frequently portions are good people is kind, prices might not be like other places but, Rahway is not linden or Elizabeth rent is higher at this area. Parking is an around the building located at the back, Not a fancy place not a dine in place but at the end of the day food is amazing.

Parking: PARKING AVAILABLE BACK OF THE BUILDING“

“food was Absolutely delicious and everyone was very friendly! looking forward to going back soon!“

“Love this place, been there 3 times. The lady server is always very accommodating and sweet to my son and us. Food is always tasty and fresh. My son loves the food here. Is a small place but thats the charm.

Parking: There plenty of parking around“

“First time going here and won't be my last ! This is now my new chinese dine in restaurant. The food is very fresh ..the dumplings are so good and fresh made we had to get another one! We ordered general Tao chicken and it was also very fresh made . The restaurant is cute also .“

“I was there earlier today with a group of friends for the Christmas special Bengali Food Festival. We were quite impressed by the menu selection. The food was not oily& spicy at all,hence even the kids enjoyed the food. The service was good. I wish the restaurant would be more spacious. Other than that I would highly recommend this place.“

“Great food & service you know it's good when you see Asian familys coming in.“

“Way better than other places in Hillside. Great service never rude or nasty at all very pleasant!! Good service goes a long way!!“

“I really appreciate them having a gluten-free menu and lots of options, not just a salad. I tried their gluten free general tsos shrimp and shaved marinated brocoli shoots as an appetizer. It was generally good but shrimp was a bit overcooked. I will come back to taste their other dishes.“

“I’ve been ordering Chinese takeout back to living in Brooklyn for 20+ years. In almost all Chinese restaurant reviews, people always complain about delivery and how many shrimp they got. Just order pick up and don’t go to pricy places if u want to avoid being disappointed. I’ve bought from Madison Wok for 15 years now and never had a late order when ordering pick up here (usually 15 mins). The food tastes exactly as my local restaurant when I was a kid, so I can’t complain. For the price, consider how little you are paying for the amount of work and manpower going into it •• esp since it’s done so fast. Dao nearby has slightly less oil and flavor for a lot more money. I wanted to like it but just poor value since your deliver or pick up order price needs to support the wait staff. No American style Chinese food is healthy for you so stop thinking you’re doing something good by paying someone extra to do less oil, msg, etc. in summary, this is an old school place that gives you the standards for the least amount of money you’ll pay in this zip code. Not something to eat everyday, but when you need your fix for this kind of stuff. I recommend the pork dumplings, fried wings, curry chicken, wonton soup and any fried rice, plus the chow fun and generals chicken. My 3 kids never complain and no one has ever been sick. Sometimes I’m not crazy about the amount of meat but remember that I’m not paying $15 or $20 for a pint here, and the low prices are supporting a skeleton crew.“

“Let me share my experience with this restaurant being it’s my first time eating here. To start off the people are very pleasant and greeted me with a smile and a warm welcome. So there is no issue there ! The food was also decent , very tasty and everything was fresh. Some things that they can improve on is a little less salt ( msg) and they also had cinnamon in the egg roll which was sort of odd. But overall it was a good place to eat.“

“Food is 10/10 this place never fails. They are a cash only establishment but you can order online with card. They are closed on Mondays but it doesn’t matter the customer service and food makes up for it. Best Chinese spot I’ve probably ever had.“

“Super delicious food recommended to me by a friend. The Fried Chicken Wings are the crispiest, tastiest and best I’ve ever tasted.
Great delivery service .
Most delicious quality food I have tried, fresh and wonderful!
Try it and enjoy!“

“Very grateful for this place. So glad I spent the extra couple minutes to compare menus/reviews and landed here rather than the other closer options. The food was fresh, hot, tasty and it was prepared quickly. Friendly service but have some patience and grace as English is not their first language.

My boyfriend and I were exhausted, stressed, and hungry (I.e. desperate) during the tail end of a 5hr drive at Sunday night in the middle of rain/flooding and this place single handedly turned our miserable night around. Will definitely be back whenever we’re in the area again!“

“My wife and I ride our scooters there faithfully to get our usual shrimp and broccoli fried rice teriyaki chicken on the stick fried bananas and a order of chicken wings ?.The presentation ALWAYS ?? GRADE A!!WE LOVE ALL THE UNIQUE FLAVOR PROFILES GREAT TASTY FOOD VERY FRESH..ALSO THE PLACE IS CLEAN WE LOVE TO STAY AND EAT THERE!HEY IM BOUT TO GOT GET ME SOME NOW BEFORE THEY CLOSE IM OUT!!!!?“

“This review is long overdue from me, as my family and I have been ordering from here for over 10 years. It is by far the best takeout Chinese food I’ve ever had, and undoubtedly the best in Union County. Also, can’t not mention that it comes at a great price too.“

“Today and day before yesterday I went to this restaurant. They are making Asian food I think it’s Chinese. First day I did Oder beef noodles. It was amazing. And I ask chili oil. They gave me one it’s super amazing. That’s why I went today. Guy who working front it’s not helping. But he can mange the job. And he try to help. Today my lunch was pot cooking rice. We can choose two meats. I got beef and chicken. It’s coming with side of soya sauce. And I asked that chili oil again, it was delicious. Before that for appetizer I bought hot buttered prawns dish. Guys to my mind this is the best hot buttered prawns in Staten Island. You should try it. I specially gave a tip for the chef. I had a delicious lunch today. Guys thank you ?? keep it up the good work. I wish you all the best ..!❤️“

“I rarely eat Chinese food and I choose this restaurant when I have to eat. When I tasted the food, I was surprised by the taste, which gave me a new understanding of this cuisine. Quick pick up and very kind service. Pricing is very reasonable for the amount of food that you get.“

“A lot of Chinese restaurants claim to have the best Chinese food but this one soars above all of them. 10/10 best Chinese food I have every tried. They're prices have gone up over the years but nevertheless cheap. NOTE THEY ONLY ACCEPT CASH“

“Love this place, my go to Chinese takeout. I have been ordering from here for years now. Food and orders are consistent and there are never any issues. Food is great and what you would expect from Chinese takeout. We go here so much, they know us. Special shout out to one of the guys that takes phone orders. He’s funny.“

“The best food and it is a pleasure every time I return to Passaic from Los Angeles I try to bring as much as I can of their delicious food and going to pick up food brings back many memories of when I lived there and my young children but 100% recommended“

“The food is good but the delivery fee was kind of pricy. 0.8 mile, $9 delivery fee for $39 food. No receipt attached the delivery lady just told me how much is the total. Kind of surprised by it. Next time I think I’ll just order to go. Lol couldn’t afford the delivery fee plus tip“

“Yes, this place brings back old, fond memories, and their food was always fresh, top-notch and delicious. Not too expensive either for the area! Much like a previous review before mine, there's a sign in the window to vacate the premises. Not looking good. It looks like they're closed permanently, and if you call, the phone just disconnects immediately without even ringing once. Definitely not a good sign. Sad to see them go. :(“

“EVERYTHING I GET FROM WOK N ROLL IS EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Very surprisingly good experience.

Ordered delivery from here, wanted to try a bit of everything as I am new to the area and everyone needs a go-to Chinese food spot.

Some of the best fried chicken I've ever had, great portions on the combination platters. One of the very rare cheap Chinese food spots that actually puts real smoked pork in the pork fried rice.“

“This was my first time ordering from this restaurant because it's hard to find good Chinese food. I ordered an orange chicken combo very spicy. The flavor of the food is excellent, the pork fried rice was on point and freshly made, the orange chicken was a bit mushy more on the softer side. If they can fry the chicken a little bit crunchy it would be perfect. The eggroll I'm not a fan of but it was okay. I enjoyed the food, and that will be my new goto restaurant from now on.“

“Food is amazing chicken is cooked just right it's never over nor under cooked , they very friendly, the fact they have a twist of Spanish food it a 10 for me !! They not greasy at all ... delivery rate a 10 aswell they come fast !! I've ordered over 5 times nd all 5 time's EXCELLENT SERVICE !! Thank you goodies staff you guys are appreciated!!“

“Great place to catch a quick bite of authentic Asian cuisine. Atmosphere is cozy and vibrant, and the food is amazing. Staff is passionate and friendly, demonstrating that they care about their customers. Great experience overall, will definitely be coming back and recommending this place to all my friends.“

“We ordered take-out, picked up and enjoyed our family Sunday dinner of two orders of steamed dumplings with their delicious sauce, shrimp egg foo-young with steam rice, house-special egg foo-young with steam rice, and a quart of their special young chow fried rice. We received 4 cans of complimentary sodas with extra hot sauce, soy sauce, and duck sauce.“

“The service at this place is very, very bad. The young man who takes the orders is very rude when talking to customers. He should be replaced by a better person. In addition, you can only pay in CASH, and at the counter, they always charge you taxes. This is STEALING TO THE CUSTOMER AND TO EVADE TAXES AS WELL. I DO NOT RECOMMEND this place at all.“

“Good service. Dim sum is average in NYC metro area, shock-free, nothing particularly exciting or unacceptable, variety of the options with fair price. Serving the dim sum on the carts is authentic. Service is 5 stars following the Cantonese tradition, such as replacing the dirty plates by a new one.“

“Best Chinese store in kenilworth“

“I have been a customer for 9 years, moving from Kearny to Harrison, back to Kearny & I have never stopped ordering from them. They have a wonderful attitude, even during VERY busy times. Sweet lady who answers the phone is so pleasant. They always get my order right. The food tastes great, well cooked! There have been different people working here, but they must be family because they are all just great. Thank you guys for your service!“

“I absolutely love ordering from here! I’ve been eating here since I was in high school and since introducing it to my fiancée, it’s been both our favorite spot to order from. The fried dumplings are always so tasty and satisfying. I also enjoy the sesame chicken and my fiancée loves the shrimp lo mein combo, both never disappoints. The staff is always so kind and welcoming, and you can really tell they take pride in their family owned business and it shows. The recent renovations really enhance the cozy, homey atmosphere—it looks fantastic. Our friends and family all adore this place too. Can’t wait to order from here again!“
