50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Middlesex

“New Szechuan Kitchen is a decent Chinese restaurant, though the food is a bit on the greasy side for my liking. The flavors are generally good, but I found the dishes to be a bit overly oily.

That said, I do prefer the Bound Brook location 1,000 times more than this one. The flavor and consistency at the Bound Brook spot is much better in my experience.

Overall, New Szechuan Kitchen is an average Chinese restaurant. The food is okay, but nothing particularly remarkable. If you're in the mood for some classic Chinese fare, it might be worth a try, but I'd recommend the Bound Brook location over this one if you have the option.“

“This has been my only go to Chinese food since I tasted it well over a decade ago! It’s always fresh and the place is clean! The family is super friendly and will substitute whatever I ask for. The portions are plenty and we often have this as a family gathering:event. They also have amazing combination dishes, something for everyone. Plus they have a discounted lunch menu that’s a fantastic price 11-3 . I definitely recommend trying them out . Honestly, even with delivery and the next town over it’s always here very quickly. Every time I call up make an order it’s ready as soon as I walk in the door. They even have coupons on their paper menu plus they give free items with large orders such as soup, egg rolls or large sodas. Five stars from my entire family ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The pork lo mein special is to die for; first place I’ve found that puts long, juicy slices of pork in the lo mein instead of measly crumbs. The steamed dumplings are also very tasty. The ordering process was very easy and the food was made very quickly. Will come again.“

“My family always order the shrimp with garlic sauce and pork fried rice from Chen Kitchen. We have been coming here for many years and the food is always consistent. The staff is always friendly and pleasant. If you are looking for consistency and excellent Chinese food, try Chen's Kitchen in Middlesex. Highly recommend.“

“Everything was exceptional. Scallion pancakes were perfectly crispy. Dumplings cooked perfect and tasty. I normally don’t order sesame chicken because many places over-bread it. Their sesame chicken are big pieces of white meat with no breading. This is our new go to Chinese restaurant.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I took my fiance here this past weekend and we had a great time. We got to pick which vegetables, meats, tofu we liked, which were all fresh. And then we pick the broth and pay. The Mala Tang in the end was delicious. The broth was very flavorful and aromatic and the meats, vegetables and tofu tasted superb!“

“I ordered the Sweet and Sour Squirrel Bass and Shanghai Smoked Fish. The smoked fish tasted so authentic — just like what I had in Suzhou! Perfectly marinated, flavorful, and not greasy at all. The squirrel bass was crispy on the outside, tender inside, and cooked to perfection. The fish is freshly prepared — they literally have a tank right by the entrance, so you know it’s super fresh!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“amazing! great tasty stuff“

“Great food. The sampler dumplings are awesome.“

“Absolutely delicious! I tried their freshly baked crab meat mooncake and the crab roe rice — both were incredible! The mooncake was warm, flaky, and filled with real crab meat, and the crab roe rice was super flavorful and fragrant. You can really taste the freshness in every bite. Highly recommend this place if you love authentic crab dishes!“

“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.“

“Had an amazing meal here! The dishes were flavorful and authentic — especially peppercorn beef cubes, which were perfectly seasoned. The portions were generous, the service was friendly, and the overall dining experience was really enjoyable. Definitely a spot I’ll come back to!“

“Love their Bento boxes!!!“

“We love this restaurant! My husband and I came here multiple times in one week after we decided to try it. The food is very fresh, and the teas are tasty. The dessert is also very good! We recommend the tomato sauce with egg and beef dish and the baked fried rice with curry sauce. I really like the pineapple bun and the Hong Kong milk tea, and my husband likes the milky french toast.“

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

“Excellent food, friendly family business. Highly recommend! Best Chinese Food in the area!“

“Delicious Food, Outstanding Service! We have been ordering from this restaurant since it opened and it’s truly become our go-to spot. The food is consistently delicious—the taste has never changed, and every meal feels just as special as the first. The owner is the friendliest person you’ll meet, and the service is always top-notch. Our Favorite Dishes: Garlic Sauce Dish with Chicken and Shrimp: Our absolute favorite—always packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. Sesame Tofu: Deliciously crispy with a great sesame flavor. Dry Pot Dish: Spicy, savory, and full of exciting textures. Sichuan Hot & Sour Soup: The perfect balance of heat and tang. Red Curry Dish: Rich, aromatic, and satisfying. We’ve recommended this place to so many friends, and everyone agrees it’s a winner. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food and a welcoming atmosphere!“

“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!“

“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!!“

“We really enjoy it here. I think my girlfriend orders probably once a week. She loves it so much. There is no delivery fee and only a minimum of $15. They have delicious handmade sushi and sashimi. We've never had a dish that we didn't like here.
The customer service is wonderful top-notch 5 stars highly recommended all around.“

“Excellent Dim Sum. Friendly service 👍“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

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

“Absolutely love coming here! Every meal is done to perfection using the highest grade products. The boom of flavors takes you away with every bite. Highly recommend for a fun date night out when you don’t know what you want and the chef just feeds you.“

“I returned after dining here for the first time in April 2025 (refer to my prior review).\n\nOur order included a Pork Egg Roll ($2.75), Steamed Pork Dumplings (6 - $7.50), a quart of Chicken Lo Mein ($13.50), Chicken and Broccoli ($15.50), Chicken with Hunan Sauce / mixed vegetables ($15.50), and Beef and Garlic sauce ($16.50).\n\nWhat I Liked:\n-\tThe dumplings were tender and overall, very good\n-\tThe chicken and pork strips were tender\n-\tThe Chicken in Hunan Sauce entree was very attractive with all of the mixed vegetables\n-\tThe Chicken in Hunan Sauce and Chicken Lo Mein entrees were flavorful\n-\tConsidering the egg roll we ordered the last time was one of the worst one I ever ate, this time it was better bit average at best\n-\tThe garlic sauce was very tasty\n-\tThe broccoli in the Chicken and Broccoli was cooked perfectly\n\nWhat I Did Not Like\n-\tThere was less than a reasonable amount of beef in the Beef and Broccoli\n-\tBoth the Pork Lo Mein and Chicken in Hunan Sauce were oily\n-\tThe Lo Mein noodles were softer than I prefer\n\nMy Kung Food culinary rating is 7.5/10 Karate chops landed.“

“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!“

“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)“

“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“

“Outstanding flavors and service! The food here is some of the most authentic and well-seasoned Chinese-Venezuelan cuisine I've ever had. A huge shout-out to Gloria for her amazing service! Loved learning about their deep roots, from the original 1971 restaurant in Venezuela to this NJ location. A must-try!“

“China Garden is definitely one of the best spots around if you’re looking for affordable and delicious Chinese takeout. The food is consistently good — flavorful, fresh, and satisfying. When you pick up your order directly, the prices are very reasonable. I spent about $18 for two full meals, which is a great deal considering the portion sizes.

Just a heads up: if you order through Uber Eats or other delivery apps, the total can get pretty pricey with fees and markups. So if you want to keep it affordable, picking up is definitely the way to go.

Overall, a great choice for a tasty, budget-friendly meal when you’re craving Chinese!“

“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.“

“Excellent service, food good and they are always so kind and nice ???“

“Best in 30 years only place I get Chineese! Best of the Best!“

“Good food and convenient location near Middlesex campus. Great when on break between classes or heading home. Food is cheap and still very delicious not overly salty or greasy. I had the sweet and sour chicken it was well-battered and served quickly“

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

“This review is long overdue. I actually live in VA. However, every time I come up to Jersey to visit family I always order from China Wok. My family never ordered from here until I tried it out. They enjoy the food as well. We've tried different dishes and have yet to be disappointed. My orders are always delivery. I have yet to visit the restaurant in person. I highly recommend China Wok.“

“Been ordering from here for many many years since I was young. And I have tried many other places but nothing can bet china star. The pricing is fair and the potions are great. Highly recommend coming here. Their chicken broccoli with white rice is the best“

“Fast, fresh and delicious. Friendly owners, free cans of sodas on certain days and/or if you buy a few dinners? Not positive how it works but the first time the lady told me that I was happy, that’s how you treat customers, paired with quality Chinese food and you have yourself a go to spot.“

“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“
