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.“

“Fujiya Pickled Fish is an impressive restaurant located in New Jersey. Their pickled fish fish features fresh fish meat and rich pickled cabbage soup, which is delicious and unforgettable. The environment of the restaurant is comfortable and pleasant, and the service attitude is warm and thoughtful. Whether it is a family dinner or a gathering of friends, it is an ideal choice. Recommend their other dishes as well. Overall, Fujiya Pickled Fish is a high-quality Chinese restaurant worth visiting and you will definitely not be disappointed.“

“Came to visit a friend in NJ, they suggested this hot pot place, the soup was thick and flavorful but during our meal we ordered a chicken appetizer dish which was not available for a while per the cashier, however we were still billed for the appetizer and never gotten the dish. They were great to took it off our bill but kinda shouldn’t had it happened. Over all the food was great but the portion could have been more. We had the beef and few other dishes the most memorable was the money pouch tofu dish filled with shrimps. I guess it is a pretty decent place for hot pot after all if it was always packed and reservation is recommended.“

“The soups at Nai Brother are amazing! If you like pickled flavors, this is the dish for you. So far, we've tried the house signature and the sour pickled pepper with flounder. I highly recommend them, and we plan on going back to try more flavors. What I like best is that this dish is large enough to share.“

“The general Tsos was only ok, still better than many other places around town, but nothing to write home about. Their wanton soup on the other hand was fantastic and made me feel so much better (I'm sick) and their egg rolls weren't bad either. Overall the food was very good and I will be coming back.“

“Loved the decor and the overall vibe of the restaurant. The food was delicious. Very good quality meat. We got the beef oil and pork bone broth and it was delicious. We also ordered the the house fried rice which was so yummy. The sauce selection was great too. Service was good as well.

“I love this lil hole in the wall for my mini hot pot. I always order the spicy beef Szechuan and pair it with their homemade signature lemonade. Everyone I bring here loves it too. It’s a cut and cozy place to sit in. The service is always friendly and fast. Love love this spot. Definitely recommend coming here to give it a try. 2 thumbs up!“

“amazing! great tasty stuff“

“Love their Bento boxes!!!“

“First time here and will not be the last. Accommodating staff. Wheelchair accessible entrance. Delicious snow crab and pork soup dumplings. Refreshing and perfectly sweet, handmade Mango Pomelo Coconut Panna Cotta Tea (no soft drinks here). Took a chance on the Shanghai Pan-fried Pork Buns, because it looked yummy at another table. So glad we did!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Whenever I have a problem with bowel movements, I will come here to have a meal. It is more useful than Kaisellu for painless bowel movements. I come here every time when I have a problem with bowel movements. It is a very good place for bowel movements. Aila’s friends came to see me.“

“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.“

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

“The food is grand made fresh, the service is good as they are professional and make sure what you order is the right thing and how they respond on the phone is professional, the atmosphere is calm as the fish move around in the tank and watch you as they act curious

Vegetarian options: They can do just vegetables on the side if you ask if that’s possible

Kid-friendliness: The kids can watch the fish as they wait for their order“

“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.“

“Yue Wah Kitchen is hands down our go-to spot whenever we’re craving Chinese food! The food is consistently amazing—fresh, flavorful, and always cooked to perfection. Whether it's their delicious General Tso's chicken, fried rice, or dumplings, every dish hits the spot!

What really makes this place special are the owners. They are some of the nicest, friendliest people you’ll ever meet. They truly make you feel like family whenever you visit. The service is always top-notch, and they go out of their way to ensure you have a great experience.

We’ve been coming here for years and can’t imagine going anywhere else for Chinese food. If you haven’t tried Yue Wah Kitchen yet, you’re missing out!“

“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.“

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

“Pretty good Chinese food. Tried this out for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. Authentic Chinese flavors with a latin twist. The fried rice was the star of the show and the general cho chicken was good as well. Lo mein was a bit too oily and garlic chicken had barely any chicken and a lot of vegetables. Overall, pretty decent spot and will definitely be back for the fried rice … probably the best fried rice I’ve had from a takeout Chinese spot“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food. The sampler dumplings are awesome.“

“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!“

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

“The food was so delicious. I had the beef noodles and the broth was mind blowing. I went with a friend and she loves their steamed pork soup dumplings. The guy taking our order so super kind and helpful. I liked the designs and drawings on the wall and the atmosphere in general. It felt mystical.

Kid-friendliness: The man taking our order was very welcoming especially since me and my friend were teens dining in for the first time. He made sure he had our orders correct and he answered very politely when being asked a question.“

“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)“

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

“Walked in here unsure but left out very satisfied. I was greeted by a well mannered young lady who took my order. She explained the benefit of paying in cash vs card. The food was exactly how I asked it to be cooked. The taste was excellent. This was my first time here but won’t be my last.“

“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“

“todo está muy rica la comida, very good delicious food“

“I recently visited Sultan Wok for a quick meal and was amazed. Their half chicken fried rice and boneless spare ribs were not only delicious but also served remarkably fast. The perfect balance of flavor in every bite and the swift service made my dining experience outstanding. Sultan Wok is definitely the go-to spot for anyone seeking great Chinese food without the hassle of waiting!“

“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 .“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 ??“

“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“

“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.“

“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!!!!?“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“My go-to chinese food restaurant for 6 years now. Other restaurants don't cut it for me. I've tried several and they fall short every time.

Parking: Limited parking directly in front with additional parking on the side“
