“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.“

“We have been going to the Magic Grill for over 30 years. It is quick - if you want but never rushed if you don't. We love that everyone gets to select their own ingredients from 3 meats- chicken, pork , beef- super thinly sliced-12 or so vegetarian choice- zucchini, bok choy, onions, carrots, pineapple, peppers, baby corns, chives and a variety of sauces to suite every taste.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Best dumplings and strawberry lemonade tea ever!!<3. I definitely recommend this place. 谢谢😌“

“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.“

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

“I was at first excited when Dao Madison moved into town and even more excited when I was told they can accommodate gluten free as I have celiac. After several miss steps with mixed up orders, Dao is now cooking on all cylinders. We recently were there with friends and everyone loved it. Moreover, they have successfully accommodated my need to eat gluten free (I have celiac) several times, and have been pro active in suggesting what is easier and safer to make gluten free. This place is a gem.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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“

“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!“

“Delicious take-out food! You can tell they use fresh ingredients and not ultra processed foods. The staff is polite and I've never had an issue with my order. I'm a big fan of their MuShu Shrimp and Sauteed Mixed Chinese Green Vegetables with white rice.“

“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!“

“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!!!!“

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

“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.“

“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 .“

“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.“

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

“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 🔝⭐️“

“My fiancé and I have been looking for a Chinese takeout spot since the food quality of our usual spot went downhill. This place is good. He got the General Tso’s and I got the chicken wings with pork fried rice. Really good. No complaints. The staff were nice. They only take cash.“

“My husband and I recently moved to NJ and were looking for good Chinese food. You can't go wrong with Ms. Lin! Our food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Prices are very reasonable and we brought our own wine. We will definitely be back!“

“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“

“Our waiter did an amazing job, props to them really. Best food experience I’ve had in quite a while. The food is amazing, especially the orange chicken. I had a group of 6-7 people and yet our waiter held down the fort. This place now holds a special place in my heart. Love new jade lake!❤️❤️❤️🥰“

“I love

Being in the freezer so long
But wow like fresh out the water
I honestly gotta say this place is the best I had in my life period
Thank you for the great food
God bless n hope your business stays the same forever 🙏“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Just started to order from here cause it’s a little far from my house but they were happy to deliver with no problem the food comes hot and it actually has taste unlike a ton of the places I been ordering from in the past so far everything has been great definitely my new go to spot“

“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!!!!?“

“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.“

“Great family owned place for decades, when I go in they treat me like family because I’m kind and respectful. I’ve noticed a lot of people leaving reviews of one star only leave negative reviews and in my opinion often invalidates their opinions. Seems like most people want to have their butts kissed by their neighbors, but if you’re kind and respectful to staff they’ll return the favor. Food is delicious, prices are fair, and the kitchen is open and clean.

Dietary restrictions: They have vegetarian and gluten free options.

Parking: Parking on the street is available but there’s a Burger King next door that is often used to pick up orders.“

“The Butterfly shrimp is Amazing!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“the service and the food was awsome loved it definitely coming back💖“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“A new owner has taken over but the food is still good. I wish the crab rangoon was still whole not shaped like dumplings but they're still good. Food is always on point. I gave 4 stars for service because for the life of me I never get utensils in my bag. There's never a fork in there. You shouldn't have to ask. Other than that I'm still a loyal customer.“

“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.“

“They are not all that!!! Ordered last night. Service was fast. Rice was cold and hard, and pork was dried up (pork fried rice). Expensive place with mediocre Chinese food. With so many Chinese food restaurants in this area, you would think everyone's food would be great!!! Not bad, but not great!! Especially for the price.“

““Absolutely fantastic takeout! The food was fresh, flavorful, and arrived piping hot. The portions were generous, and every dish—from the crispy spring rolls to the perfectly seasoned fried rice—was spot on. Fast service and great attention to detail in packaging. Highly recommend!”“

“Sleeper take out so far ,tge food has taste !!!

Parking: I ho at night after 6 so there's plenty of spots ,if the pizzeria made great pizza then I'd say there would be n o parking because the pizzeria would be busy & crowded“

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