50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Matawan

“They still make really good food, not great like it used to be. They no longer have table service and the tables, chairs and rug are in disarray. They also doubled down on a weird pink color that leaves me to believe it must have been a clearance color.“

“Authentic Chinese food at a reasonable price. Water and tea are self-serving. We ordered Sweet & Sour Pork Chop, Seafood Rice Cakes and Mapo Tofu with pork, all were delicious. Will try something different next time.

Parking: Tuesday around 1pm, plenty of parking.“

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

“Best Chinese food around! I called by phone and the woman that took my order was so friendly. I was surprised that they had general tso tofu and scallion pancakes (it wasn’t on the menu, but it was available to order).Everything was piping hot, fresh, delicious, and prepared quickly! Ming’s Garden, you have a new customer :)“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“I can’t speak on the atmosphere but I can tell you about what I had
- Salmon Bento Box
- Miso Soup
- Shrimp Lo Mein
I ordered through DoorDash because the family I babysit for wanted that ordered for the kids , never heard of this place but was willingly to try
All the food was absolutely delish !!!!!
I was so suprised that everything has so much flavor ! I was on the fence before since I saw some of the negative reviews on Google after I had already ordered , seems like they’ve made some positive changes because our food was hot and very very delicious ! Completely different than some had said a year ago“

“Love ordering from this place! You get free appetizer item if you pay cash. Really only for take away or delivery don’t think there’s much in dining. I’ve been getting delivery for almost 15 years now. But staff nice. They forgot our edamame once n drove back out to drop off. The sushi n bento boxes are really good n fresh. Thai good n best spring rolls ever. Little pricey but good quality. Haven’t tried much of Chinese menu they have.“

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

“Had a wonderful experience here! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff were welcoming and attentive without being overbearing. The atmosphere was cozy and perfect for a relaxed meal. Everything from the appetizers to the dessert exceeded my expectations. Definitely a place I’ll be recommending to friends and returning to myself“

“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“

“This place has been my go-to Chinese spot to get food from the foods pretty good the service there is great the ladies that take your order are very sweet very genuine and they always make you laugh. Me and my family have been ordering here for I don't know how long but it's our go-to spot, the food portions are good and the prices for most things are fair.“

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

“This is hands down the best restaurant in NJ right now. The 8 course tasting menu is phenomenal, each dish balanced with unique flavors and texture, and beautiful plated. Our server explained each dish in detail, was extremely knowledgeable of the ingredients and dishes, and very friendly. He consistently topped off our drinks as needed and meticulously provided a new place setting for each course. The ambiance was very relaxing as we sat on the 2nd floor, with beautiful hip, modern decor. I was particularly intrigued by the faucet in the bathroom which was very unique. The overall attention to detail from the concept and design to the food and service is what sets it apart. Fine dining at its best with a relaxed atmosphere that easily compares to a Michelin star restaurant.

Free on site parking is available and it is a BYOB. A liquor store is conveniently located next door in case you forget to bring your libations.“

“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.“

“My husband and I are pretty picky when it comes to Chinese food and Panda House satisfies every time.

We are a huge fan of their homemade dumplings. I would say the dumplings are some of the best in the area. The owners are really kind and friendly too!!“

“I love this place!! Definitely recommend to everyone!!“

“We have been eating at this amazing restaurant for a few years now! Food is excellent...Wonton soup is not salty like other restaurants..Food is always fresh and not greasy..They keep the restaurant very clean..The owners are very friendly.
Best kept secret on Staten Island.👍👍“

“The only negative I have (and it’s a big one and has happened 4-5 times now), I order no onion in my pepper steak and they add a $2 extra meat fee. I didn’t ask for extra meat to compensate for lack of veggies , and I don’t like it added without it being acknowledged or even approved/denied.. really not okay with that decision being made without my knowledge of it and will say something next time..

However when it comes to the food? Do it. Our usual orders are a some kind of mix of chicken&broccoli, pepper steak, boneless ribs, sesame chicken, fried wontons… everything has been great every time. One of the “better “ meats when it comes to both the chicken and the beef.. delivery is uncomfortably fast at times lol. Prices are average to anywhere else around here but the portions are great. Would definitely reccomend.“

“Best lo mein in the area. I get mine with roast pork. This was my secondary place after House of Chong, also in Middletown, which has unfortunately been lacking lately. Tai Hing just moved up to number one. They are cleverly closed on Tuesdays instead of Mondays, since so many restaurants are closed then. The prices are also really fair and a good value. I’ll get a picture next time, I scarfed it all down too quickly LOL.“

“Surprising we hadn’t tried this place all these years living here as it was a lovely lunch we recently had.

Famous Freddy served us and treated us like long lost friends even though it was our first time. Table service is nice with tablecloths and a nice decor. Our special requests were accommodated and Freddy regaled us with lively conversation.

We enjoyed the cold sesame noodles, the sauce a little on the loose side for my taste but it was fine otherwise. Vegetable Lo Mein was as expected and the General Tso’s tofu was also very good. I prefer a different style for the sauce(darker/spicier) and tofu(firm ripped pieces vs soft cubes) but I’ve had this style before as well and it’s fine.

Addl hot sauce was provided and overall we enjoyed the meal.“

“Even though I moved about 15 minutes away, I still drive to Old Bridge to pick up food from Chung Sing. Best Chinese food - have been going since the 80's!“

“Favorite takeout in the area!! We’ve probably ordered close to 15 times by now and every single time the food is HOT, tastes fresh and EVERYTHING arrives! The staff is friendly and the driver as well!!! They sound BUSY on the weekends and we still get fresh food in 30-40 mins! Also I appreciate that they don’t rush while taking the orders!“

“Always great food, super fast delivery & super fast when picking up orders too! Food taste & quality is excellent! Their prices are very good and you get a lot of food for the cost. We've been customers for about 7 years, love this place!“

“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.“

“The food here is great. Ordered a couple chicken burgers from here and I have to say, some of the best chicken I’ve had. I love the unique use of veg in the burger and even as leftovers it tasted great. I have to say, this is in my top eats from nyc. Phenomenal.“

“This is my all time favorite Chinese Restaurant! The food is delicious, generous portions and friendly service! We missed them during their brief closure for the beginning of the pandemic. Thank you!!“

“Best Chinese food around. I’m big on Chinese food and you really can’t just eat it from anywhere. This place right here though has been a long time favorite. There’s not another Chinese restaurant I’ll eat at unless subjected to another state. Great food great service and it’s expedient. Only bad thing about this place is parking.“

“I love the Chinese food here, even the few times I've had errors in the food. Or it wasn't great the restaurant was always understanding and took care of fixing it. Everyone has off days. I haven't had many here, I'd recommend to anyone.“

“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.“

“This is my favorite American-Chinese takeout spot in NJ! The owners are very nice, the food comes out quick, and the quality is good. I've tried other Chinese takeout places in the area, and China Wok is the only one that I've been satisfied with. I love their Crab Rangoon and like to get Beef Chow Fun. All their dishes taste good for the price. It's a nice local spot to order from when you're looking for American-Chinese takeout!“

“This is not our usual place. Either is the one across the street, which we ordered the day before and we’re extremely disappointed to the point that we wanted Chinese again the following night and we chose Golden Jade. Flat-out great food here and I knew it because it’s family run and everyone was friendly. You can tell they take pride in their cooking. We had fried dumplings which would great - they give you 8 and my only critique is they need more filling but the taste is great. The house lomein and house fried rice were outstanding. Fresh and not over sauced. The chicken and broccoli and the general tso chicken were what you expect in the taste department and we’re done very well. Their egg rolls were tasty. The highlight though was the boneless spareribs. So many places get this wrong - these were the best I’ve had in the area even topping my usual place. They had the right amount of glaze, weren’t tough and were made completely using rib meat. Sweet, salty, and easy to chew. This place didn’t disappoint and if it’s a battle between Golden Jade or the one across the street in the junction, Golden Jade is easily the winner.“

“If you're in the Matawan/Cliffwood Beach area, come check this place out. Great food and the staff is super nice“

“I had the shrimp with Bok choy. It was delicious. The food took a while to come out, but it was worth the wait.“

“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.“

“This place has incredible service. The food here is great and the dumplings are immaculate. All the staff members are incredibly nice and friendly. You can also tell that they reguraly change their oil based on the taste. They also offer to bring my food out too me due to me being to big to fit through the door. This place is a 10/10 and I would recommend friends and family coming to eat in this place.“

“So good! fresh food! I am allergic to shell fish and alot of times stuff get cross contaminated ,not this place!! The food is so good !!! first time there ,this is now my Chinese food restaurant.“

“Big props to Ming Hui Chinese Take Out. It's the best Chinese food restaurant in Perth Amboy. I had a Chinese themed party this past Sunday at a rental hall . They DELIVERED!!! - on ALL LEVELS. Not sure if they've ever done an order this large at one time, but they did an excellent job. They prepared enough food to feed 150+ . I asked to have it delivered at 2:30, they were there at 2pm. Everything I asked them to prepare was on POINT, ON TIME, AN DELICIOUS. I ordered broccoli in brown sauce - made perfectly, pepper steak, boneless spare ribs, chicken lomein, general tso chicken, vegetable-white-pork fried rice. It was so fresh and flavorful. All my guests enjoyed all the food they prepared. Highly recommended . Let's not forget great customer service!“

“I absolutely love this family-owned Chinese restaurant! The food is consistently fresh and flavorful. I usually go for the shrimp broccoli, with white rice, or the shrimp fried rice with chicken wings—these dishes are always spot on.

The lady at the checkout is always courteous and nice. I asked for extra hot sauce, and she delivered it without hesitation—awesome service! Sometimes, the phone service can be a little hit-or-miss, but you’ll always get your order through.

They are very reliable with timing too. If they say the food will be ready in 15 minutes, it’s usually right on time. I definitely recommend eating here or getting takeout for a solid meal. Great local spot that I’ll keep coming back to!“

“I ordered here for take out last night and they were so friendly. I watched from the car as my partner picked up the food and the people in the restaurant were super smiley and friendly. The entire pick up process was so simple and fast (seconds literally) which is what we wanted.

The 2 chicken teriyaki ramen we ordered were so properly packed- with a plastic separator between the soup and ramen + other toppings so it doesn’t sit in the soup and get soggy!! Will definitely be coming to try their other items !!“

“I drive out of my way to come here. Big chunks of chicken with a thin coating. Chicken fried rice has huge pieces of chicken, but needed a little more flavor. The egg and shrimp rolls have a good amount of flavor. Ordered the Singapore noodle and it had sugar added and what seemed to be cinnamon, so ask for ingredients before ordering. Clean, takeout only right now.“

“Vegetarian options: ,just explain your specific interests

Dietary restrictions: Just explain your specific situation to your exact needs.

Parking: Location can get Busy during school drop off & pickup hr. and around lunchtime.

“Online ordering was easy and simple.
But online receipt and actual receipt have $1 difference. Be Aware.
Delivery took about 50 mins but food were still good.
So far, best Chinese delivery food around this neighborhood.“

“Always tastes like it's fresh from the farm, or butcher! Very Yummy! This has been my go-to Chinese Food place for years!“

“I ordered dragon phoenix, vegetable lo mein, and sesame wonton, and they were all so delicious with the sesame wonton being so flavorful and the jumbo shrimp from the dragon phoenix taste so fresh and the chicken with white meat tastes so juicy and crunchy with great flavor

Vegetarian options: Veg lo mein and mix veg are both really good“

“This is the most amazing American dream restaurant that I could have found. Great food, quaint location, honest ownership, good recommendations from other customers and just a plain good meal. The food could have a bit more flavor but that is why you season to taste. I love this place and will gladly return to try other dishes. Please try their new special sauce. It is very good.“

“Stopped in with My Better 3/4 and Was So Surprised On Taste,Quality and Service...Room to Improve...Senior Discount...PLZ...THANK YOU FOR A GRAND MEAL...Stay Blessed...>&<🙏🖖“
