50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Metuchen

“I went there to expand my horizons and mission accomplished: their fusion of asian dishes worked and made my 1st time experience of different dishes great. Chef Aj was very polite, patient & engaging to my wife & I. He gave me a birthday card too( it was my birthday)“

“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.“

“The portions are really generous — plenty of fish slices and side dishes, great value for the price. The taste is excellent too: the broth is tangy, spicy, and appetizing, and the fish is tender and full of flavor. The service was also satisfying — the staff were warm and attentive, the food came out quickly, and the whole experience was comfortable.“

“amazing! great tasty stuff“

“The environment of the restaurant was amazing! The aroma and taste of the soup was delicious and fulfilling. Definitely would come back again.
Customer service was great. It’s been a while since we visited and they have added several different soup base choices. We went for the basic chicken broth with fish maw, but will definitely try other ones next time.
All the hot pot restaurants in the area are all-you-can-eat, but this one isn’t. However, the quality of the soup stock is way better and the dining environment is quieter.“

“The food is amazing! Recommended this place by a friend and we're in the area to try out. I am amazed about the quality of the food. The fish soups are amazing! The flavors are on point. Definitely give it a try if you're in the area.“

“I highly recommend Ugly Dumpling because of the delicious and affordable food options they have. Excellent customer service received from Gregory D!! He is absolutely an amazing server!! We will be coming back for more!! Awesome ambiance, beautiful decors, hip music and amazing servers. I also would like to give extra thanks to Miller... Overall, we are so happy with the whole experience!! 5 stars out of 5!!“

“Hot pot is often very hard to eat. Our vegetarian family often struggles to find food not contaminated with meat or fish. At Mala Town, we were very pleased to see how thoroughly the dishes and utensils were cleaned. Furthermore, the food options were vast, fresh and customizable. This place is perfect!“

“I’ve never written a review while sitting in the restaurant but it is genuinely just that good. Im used to having less flavorful food with having to choose none meat options but the Mapo Tofu was so flavorful as well as the Sauerkraut Fish Soup and the service was incredible. It felt like a crime that this place isn't more busy. Would come here again!“

“Really good food and late nights eats to be quite honest. It’s affordable to people going to Rutgers nearby and quick and easy to get to. Not too far from the yard and it makes it more convenient if you’re a nearby college student or just living in the area. Good eats I’d say“

“Excellent cold sesame noodles! Everything is so fresh!“

“Great food. The sampler dumplings are awesome.“

“We love this place. Its not pretty, but it is delicious and the rice dumplings are my favorite. Essentially it's a Customizable, never ending stir fry with noodles instead of rice. They cook it on a grill when you put everything together, so not ideal for vegetarians as the grill shares with meat.“

“Personally, I think this is the best hotpot place in this area. Its a small restaurant but it’s so cozy, the staff is so kind, and the food is delicious. My husband and I always start off with their Sliced Beef and OX Tongue in Chili Sauce ( it’s served cold but it’s so good!). We then get their hotpot ( you can definitely share one order with two people). Their spice level is no joke! - and it’s delicious. We also love their specialty drinks; they’re so refreshing and help cut the spice level from the hotpot.
The staff is so helpful and accommodating. We have baby, and they have always gone above and beyond to make sure we are seated comfortably with our stroller by our side. It’s one of the few places that we have found easily fits a full stroller next to our table.
We’ve brought all our family and friends here because of how much we love this place.
The parking space is a little small, but there are plenty of neighboring parking spots that you can use.“

“This place is absolutely delicious! Great service, great atmosphere, and amazingggg food. I will be talking about this place to everybody! So good. I went around 6 PM on a Monday night, and it wasn’t crowded at all. We tried 5 different types of dumplings, and they were all super amazing and flavorful. Scallion pancakes too, of course, and they were also delicious! The place is super clean, and everything was great.“

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

“I had such a great time at Xie Bao today. The service was great firstly, the food was also amazing. Everything came out so hot and fresh, you can tell that they put a lot of love, time, and soul into their presentation & flavor of their dishes. Everything is ordered by tablet & there are so many dishes on the menu to try. They even have sea food boils Cajun style to cater to all tastebuds. I order the sweet and sour squirrel fish (very different for me but delicious & beautifully served), the viral crab roe that lives up to the hype. Service was great & the restaurant is very clean, I will definitely be back !!!“

“Went today as I was driving around. And saw this unassuming place. Had the suchuan beef noodle soup. It blew my mind, taste was unbelievable. As an Asian American who lives in Edison. I know my food. And this dish was great. Will go back and try different food t“

“It’s rare outside of Chinatown to find an Asian restaurant making and using their own dough (flour?) from scratch, but this is what they say at the shop and I saw them doing it!

Dumpling House is in the same space as Hawaiian Poke so they have a wide menu of Asian food spanning Japanese, Chinese, and Hawaiian. They’re in a plaza right off of Washington Valley Rd with decent parking.

I’ve ordered takeout several times and tried:
- sushi rolls
- sushi burrito
- poké bowl
- steamed dumplings

And each time it’s been decent. EDIT: I just ordered steamed dumplings and really like them as far as texture and taste! They provide soy sauce and chili oil which fit perfectly. I’d come back for these.“

“Nice restaurant with a lot of specialties dishes that would be perfect for dinner with big group to share. This restaurant serve house tea which is a big plus. The meat patty is delicious. The rice dishes are okay, looking forward to try more specialties dishes.“

“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 such a great experience at The Crab House! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff was so friendly and attentive. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Definitely a spot I’d recommend and I’ll be back! 🦀❤“

“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.“

“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.“

“I had a great experience at this Venezuelan-Chinese restaurant in the U.S. The food tastes just like back home in Venezuela, authentic, flavorful, and really well prepared. Every dish reminded me of that classic Chinese Venezuelan flavor we love so much. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was very welcoming. Overall, everything was excellent and I will definitely be coming back.“

“Cozy shop serving authentic Fujianese comfort food, including xiao long bao, peanut butter noodles, wonton soup, fried dough, fried oyster cakes, fresh soy milk, green bean soup, beef noodle soup, and a variety of rice dishes.

The staff were incredibly friendly and made excellent recommendations, making the experience even more enjoyable.

With only about 10 seats, it’s a cozy spot focus on delicious, traditional flavors.

Highly recommended if you’re looking for authentic Fujianese dim sum and noodle cuisine!“

“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.“

“Love their Bento boxes!!!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Love the food here and enjoy the experience. Will keep coming back.“

“Best Chinese store in kenilworth“

“Absolutely delicious! The noodles were fresh, flavorful, and had the perfect texture. Everything tasted authentic and comforting, and the portions were generous. The broth was especially good—rich and full of flavor without being too heavy. Service was friendly and quick, and the whole experience felt warm and welcoming. Definitely a great spot when you’re craving a good bowl of Chinese noodles. We’ll be back!“

“This place is always good. Sometimes there are small issues just like anywhere else but in general this is the best Chinese food in the area. I saw a false 1 star review from a few years ago, I know it's false because they stole a picture from a different (5 star) review. So I am leaving a good review to balance it out.“

“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!“

“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“

“I got the vegetable fried rice and the plain lo mein side. Both delicious! Noodles were nice and thick and come out hot! Both came out hot nice and fresh. Service was very friendly and attentive. They also had these crunchy noodles that they give you with the sweet sauce dip and the hot mustard dip. Very good as well.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“I hadn't visited this place in over 10 years [out of state] and I must say it's just as good as is was back then. I used to LOVE going here and id just sit on my car and eat egg rolls in the parking lot lol. It's such a cute little spot with great food. Idk if it's the same owners since back then but still amazing !!“

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

“Was in the area and tried this place for the first time and really enjoyed it. Price was good and the portion size was very good! Flavorful and really tasty pork dumplings in broth. I appreciated the bok choy in the broth. If I’m in the area again, I would like to try other items on the menu.“

“It's great-tasting, well-made Chinese food. By well-made I mean you're NOT going to receive food that's drowned in grease, or all mushy like it's been sitting in a steam table for hours.They have a great selection of different styles. All the standard stuff, plus Szechuan and Cantonese specialties. The prices are reasonable. Staff is very nice. I love that when I order delivery, the driver is from the restaurant, not some internet service.I used to think I'd never find good Chinese food in this area, until I tried Hop Hing. Now I wouldn't go anywhere else.“

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

“Just ordered for the first time from this place and I have to say , WOW....the general chicken was delicious and the fried rice was very good .
I can't wait to try more options because based on what I have had im sure im going to love it.
Sorry I didn't post any pics but ate it way too fast like it was my last meal.
Very good portion size
Very good flavor
I definitely recommend“

“The Butterfly shrimp is Amazing!“
