50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Metuchen

“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.“

“Great Chinese food at a reasonable price.Their deliveries are super quick, and they do listen when a request is made in the comment section when ordering online. BTW, the online menue is very easy to navigate.“

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

“Had to drive over 45 minutes to get to this place. I’m giving this a 5 star because this is probably the best fish soup you are going to get in NJ. There are however much better places for this in Flushing Queens which would be double the driving time for me. The fish soup is good. Not the best. For the best, my go to place is still this place called Fish With You in Flushing. Give this place a try! Everything is good.

Update: had the comb for 2. The fish came under flavored. Needed some time to marinade in the soup. After it was better. We got the fried pork belly which is good. But can’t have too much because it is heavy. The glutinous cubes were fried so it was crispy on the outside and doughy on the inside. The syrup is used to dip and it serves as a good dessert to finish the meal off.“

“The hot pot is deliperfection. Wait was less than 5 min. It wasn't crowded. I got to pick my own ingredients and I loved everything. Even got to try a few new things. Love this place 10 out of 10 Definitely Recommend!!!

Vegetarian options: Cooked to prefection.“

“100% would recommend this place, beautifully decorated interior, wonderful service, delicious & guilt free food. Food is authentic. On certain days they have deals (i.e. Buy 1 get 1 for $1 on select beef options). They also have solo soup options if you dont want to share a family style broth pot. Overall a great experience.“

“Very delicious. Many healthy and tasty soup base options for chicken hot pot. The chicken is fresh and juicy. You also have the options of other meets (beef, lamb, fish, etc) as add on. They also have a tons options for appitizer and deserts. Highly recommanded.“

“Randomly found this place after food shopping one night and its officially our fav spot ! They open late til 1230am ! Jay and his staff members are very welcoming and friendly. Told us their special dishes and what to come back to try next time! We got their green peppercorn broth with snakehead fish recommended by Jay and boy it hit the spot! U can add on toppings and it comes with rice! We enjoyed it so much we are already planning our next late night visit and plan to take the fam here!“

“We tried the crab buns and shrimp dumplings at Wu’s Shanghai Dumpling, and they were absolutely delicious! The crab buns were perfectly fluffy on the outside with a rich, savory filling that really hit the spot. The shrimp dumplings were fresh, juicy, and beautifully wrapped—each bite was full of flavor. The service was friendly, and the place had a cozy, welcoming vibe. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Shanghai-style dumplings!“

“I ordered twice in 2 days because I was looking for a new Chinese Food place that does deliver. And Kam Fung does deliver (on GH at least) in more ways than one. My orders of Spare Ribs, Beef with Garlic Sauce and the dumpling sauce were amazing. Cooked perfectly and very tasty. I will continue to order from here!“

“This was amazing food! The spice level was just right!! We came here once and just had to come back because of how amazing it was! Just amazing. The taste of pickled claws and smashed cucumber is unforgettable ,Good proportions. Great food.“

“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.“

“amazing! great tasty stuff“

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

“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.“

“This is a great restaurant find. The food is absolutely delicious, like home cooking and the portions are large. The staff and service are friendly and attentive. It’s a nice friendly atmosphere to dine and enjoy a meal with family and friends. My wife and I make a point of eating here once a week. The prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend Dragoon Palace It’s a rare jem.“

“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“

“Crab roe over rice was good but I wouldn’t say it was phenomenal. Maybe a 7.5/10. Personally, I would have like more roe and less rice. I’m thought the price was a bit high, but I guess I’m not aware of what the price of crab roe is…?

The Nanjing salted duck leg was not for me. I was not aware that it would be a cold dish and I really didn’t like it.“

“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.“

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

“Love their Bento boxes!!!“

“Great food. The sampler dumplings are awesome.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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“

“While it’s Americanized Chinese food, you can still taste the authentic flavors in dishes like the mapo tofu and chow fun. It’s a great spot when you’re craving comfort food with a Chinese twist. Clean dining area and fast service, too!“

“Easily a top 3 restaurant in New Brunswick. I have turned several friends and colleagues onto it.
I don't know much about authentic Chinese food, but based on what I've seen, I think this is the real deal.
What solidified it's authenticity to me is the first time I tried the mala dish - it is crazy spicy and flavorful and perfect to warm you up and clear your sinuses! The fact that it isn't toned down for American palates, to me, is an indication that they make the real deal.
Their Sichuan pork dumplings are my new comfort food.
201 and 204 are my usual orders, but the Taiwanese stewed pork with rice (503) is phenomenal; crazy tender and flavorful meat.“

“Great Chinese food spot, nothing fancy just great food“

“The Chinese restaurant we used for years recently changed owners, and was not to our liking anymore. This was our first time ordering here and we were very pleased. I placed an order online and was it was delivered 20 minutes early. We ordered the kung pao chicken (extra spicy) combo, sesames chicken combo and wonton soup. All were tasty and fresh. We found our new Chinese restaurant. Can't wait to try some of the other dishes.“

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

“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.“

“My favorite restaurant in Edison and a restaurant that must be reported almost every week.
Recommended dishes:
Free-range chicken (a classic of Hunan cuisine, the chicken is delicious when killed alive), sizzling squid (not fishy at all, with the aroma of barbecue), dry-pot beef brisket (not too bad, not chewy, just the right texture), smoked bamboo shoots and beef rice noodles (freshly fried toppings, full of pot flavor, personally ranked first in the Edison rice noodle category)“

“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.“

“The ma-la stir fry is the best I’ve had anywhere in the state. Recommend to come and try Spice24 in particular. I come every other week and have never had a bad experience.“

“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 .“

“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.“

“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.“

“The food was delicious, with a great fusion of Latin from different countries and Asian cuisine. The hospitality and attention were great. Even though it was just one person, he took good care of us. The atmosphere was comfortable. It was a quiet Monday night.“

“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.“

“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 Shanghai dumping with ginger and black vinegar. Should have more veggies on chef special. Ok thanks“

“Super fresh and delicious food, all tastes very authentic.

Our family went there for dinner and ended up having a great time. We highly recommend Traditional sweet sour fried pork, classic fried mushroom, fried lamb skewer, and the noodle soup.

My kids love the sausage fried rice so much that they were fighting for it. LOL.

We came in late but the waitress was so friendly and nice to us. We really appreciate the hospitality they offered and will certainly come back next time when we are close by.

Parking: Plenty free parking

Kid-friendliness: High chair available, very friendly service to kids“

“Brand New Owner ? This place used to be so basic in a good way (my all-time to-go rice noodle) but has transformed wonderfully due to new ownership. Edison finally has not only authentic, but exotic local Rice Noodle ?? If you love rice noodle but sick of eating same old thing, come and try their exciting, adventurous selection of food that will cure any problems in your life ??“

“Awesome experience every time 👍🏻 Have been visiting this place again and again and never feel disappointed.“

“Pleased to find another tasty mapo tofu in the same plaza as another favorite.

I found Chef Ge randomly because I had first went to Xi-an Flavor in the same mall at noon. The person there told me they don’t open until 1pm, so after taking a look on Google and seeing a photo of mapo tofu I decided to give it a chance.

They serve a large bowl of mapo tofu over rice, which comes with a half salty egg. Portion size is nice for the price, which was 11.99. Note you can save some $ by paying cash.

Mapo tofu was flavorful and saucy, as I like it.

They have a large space with an entire other section that looks like it can easily host parties. I’d visit again.“

“what an amazing Christmas Dinner, will definitely be back to try more of the menu“
