The chicken chow mein was delicious with lots of chicken and a wonderful sauce. The pork fried rice also was nicely prepared with excellent flavors.

“I have lived in town for about 6 years. We found this restaurant online and gave it a try. We ordered the pineapple and chicken fried rice, a dish called Phoenix, and the General Tso's Shrimp. Each dish was excellent and the staff was warm and friendly. Will continue to buy food from here!!!!HOT AND SOUR SOUP WONDERFUL!!! GOOD FOR COLDS!!!!“

“In my continued quest to find a New York style Chinese restaurant, based on recommendations from neighbors, I tried this restaurant. I ordered online at their website which was fairly easy to do. Being a bargain hunter I couldn’t resist the family dinner for six. It came with six egg rolls, six chicken on sticks, six cheese wontons, 2 quarts of soup, two quarts of fried rice, and choice of three entrees. It came with all of the appropriate sauces, crispy noodles, etc. The delivery was promised in 55 minutes and the food arrived exactly on-time. The egg rolls were crispy and very good. The chicken on the stick was very moist and tasty. The wonton soup was tasty and very traditional. The cheese wontons were a very nice starter and the dipping sauce added nice sweetness. For entrees we had sesame chicken which got a thumbs up from my wife. I ordered roast pork lo mein which was also a thumb up. I struggled deciding on a third entree and finally gave in to honey chicken (not my personal favorite because of the thick coating batter). Overall, a very competent dinner. I’m glad the food was really good because we’ll be eating the leftovers for many days!“

“Good food at very affordable pricing. BYOB Attentive staff. Good parking. Scenic views.“

“Eerie feeling today, new people running it I noticed, young man taking orders and working the register. Another man watching his every move. Nobody in the kitchen working. No beehive of activity and very quiet. Loved this place with happy previous owners. New owners???“

“Let me share my experience with this restaurant being it’s my first time eating here. To start off the people are very pleasant and greeted me with a smile and a warm welcome. So there is no issue there ! The food was also decent , very tasty and everything was fresh. Some things that they can improve on is a little less salt ( msg) and they also had cinnamon in the egg roll which was sort of odd. But overall it was a good place to eat.“

“Very grateful for this place. So glad I spent the extra couple minutes to compare menus/reviews and landed here rather than the other closer options. The food was fresh, hot, tasty and it was prepared quickly. Friendly service but have some patience and grace as English is not their first language.

My boyfriend and I were exhausted, stressed, and hungry (I.e. desperate) during the tail end of a 5hr drive at Sunday night in the middle of rain/flooding and this place single handedly turned our miserable night around. Will definitely be back whenever we’re in the area again!“

“I was there earlier today with a group of friends for the Christmas special Bengali Food Festival. We were quite impressed by the menu selection. The food was not oily& spicy at all,hence even the kids enjoyed the food. The service was good. I wish the restaurant would be more spacious. Other than that I would highly recommend this place.“

“Ordered for the first time since learning they moved & opened their doors in Morris Plains! They were our FAVORITE restaurant in Cedar Knolls! I’m SO happy to have them ‘back’ (a bit further of a drive, but so worth it!!) Everything was just as delicious as I remembered it being! We’ll be back SOON!!“

“Great place to catch a quick bite of authentic Asian cuisine. Atmosphere is cozy and vibrant, and the food is amazing. Staff is passionate and friendly, demonstrating that they care about their customers. Great experience overall, will definitely be coming back and recommending this place to all my friends.“

“I enjoyed my lunch here - the scallion pancakes were really tasty! The fried rice was a little underwhelming, but all in all the meal was tasty. I would recommend as a quick lunch spot or you can order ahead like me! Side note - the guy working the front was very kind :)

Vegetarian options: Plenty veggie options to pick from“

“Been going to this place for many years and can't believe I have never reviewed it before. One of the best Chinese restaurants in the area. We have tried quite a few but always come back to China City. The food is fresh and tasty, portions are large and orders are ready when they tell you. Family that runs it is wonderful. They were closed during a good portion of Covid and we struggled to find an acceptable replacement. Judging by the lines out their door when they reopened many other people thought the same.“

“Been going for years super friendly owner and great food.“

“Great place for dim sum. They have a wide variety of classics (like egg tart, chicken feet, fried pork buns, etc) and non-classics (like clams, shrimp, crab, mango sago, etc). Their prices range from $4.50 for a small dim sum to $12 for “chef” dim sum.

The service is fast. We came during brunch hours on a Sunday and even though there was a lot of people, we were instantly seated. And as soon as we got a table, the dim sum carts swung by right away. The servers can be a bit aggressive in insisting you take certain dishes (by placing them on the table before you’ve agreed to them), but as long as you say no they’ll take them away.

The inside is your typical Chinese dim sum restaurants with round tables and many dim sum carts running around.

The bathroom is clean and large with multiple stalls. It looks relatively new.

We parked in the lot outside and had no trouble finding parking.

There doesn’t seem to be good reception for AT&T here so we had some trouble navigating away after eating here.

Prices:
- Small 小点 - $4.50
- Medium 中点 - $5.25
- Large 大点 - $5.75
- Special 特点 - $6.50
- Top 顶点 - $7.25
- Super 超点 - $8.95
- Chef 厨点 - $12

Parking: We parked in the lot outside and had no trouble finding parking.“

“I got the general tsao combo platter, scallion pancakes. Chicken lo mein. And spicy salmon roll. Super nice they offer sushi, it it’s good quality, as well as the other food. Chicken is not chewy or over cooked.All were excellent. Have eaten a few times here already. One of the fast Chinese take out places I’ve eaten at.Will continue to drive out of the way come back!“

“The food at this Chinese restaurant is super good. I recently moved to Fairfield and needed to find a good spot for Chinese takeout out. So, I tried joy wok. I ordered sesame chicken combo and the Mongolian beef. They were both super good. I don’t normally like my sesame chicken a little spicy and they made it just right for me.
The customer service is also great. I had accidentally ordered white rice with the Mongolian beef and when I picked up my order they switched it to fried rice right away with no extra charge. Everyone there is super nice. Definitely recommend if you are in the area in search of a good Chinese spot.“

“It was a baby shower hosted by the parents of the first time mother. The menu chosen by the father was selecting 90 percent of the delicious dim sum on themenu. We had every dish commonly enjoyed by families.

There were 30 tables with many young children all enjoying the food and the occasion. It was a wonderful celebration for new life, a new baby for expecting parents, grandparents, and family members and friends. The food, service, and the general happiness of the attending members was memorable.“

“Wife and I just bought our first Home and have been searching for the best Chinese food store with the best tasting food. Everything is properly seasoned food is always hot and the portions are great. Also other Chinese food in the area use a weird type of Rice which is disgusting but Golden Garden’s fried rice is to die for. The price is awesome for the quality of food we received. Thank God we Found our Favorite take out spot makes us feel Like we’re back in New York City.

Parking: Right in front of the store for easy Access“

“Went there for lunch and ordered a sesame chicken meal and paid about $10, but boy was it worth it! The food was good and the meal came with an egg roll plus pork fried rice and really filled me up. 10/10 would definitely eat here again.

Kid-friendliness: Has Lego decorations that kids might enjoy.“

“Knives Out! This place has been closed for quite sometime. So when it reopens you want to check it out. What a pleasant surprise! The food, service and atmosphere was on point all night. Each dish was cooked to perfection, coconut shrimp was to die for but the peeking duck took the gold. Prepared table side and fresh as possible. Well done and looking forward to returning next weekend“

“We often order from Verona Chinese Kitchen, delivery only. Deliveries are prompt. I really like their Sesame Chicken, Sweet and Sour Chicken, and Chicken with Cashew Nuts. My husband enjoys their Beef with Snowpeas, and Shrimp Toast. We sometimes order their soups, especially the Hot and Sour soup and Wonton soup, but ask for modifications as my husband has certain tolerances. They are very accommodating, everything arrives as ordered. The service is friendly, professional, and our orders are read back for clear communication, which is much appreciated as I am hard of hearing.“

“Wow wow , I have 8 years in New Jersey and this is the best sushi I have ever tried since I came to USA 🇺🇸.

I ordered the combo 2 rolls and soup.

I got some extra bites from the house, thank you so much !“

“Hands down best chinese food in the area. Everything is fresh and high quality. Delivery is always on time and most importantly the service is great. In all my time ordering here (about 2 years) they have always gotten my order right the first time. No business is perfect, but DB Chinese is as close as it gets.“

“Food is good as always,one of my favorite Chinese restaurants!!!“

“My friend recommended this place to me, having visited it 6 times in half a year! It’s really hard to find such a great seafood restaurant in the middle of New Jersey, where dining options are quite limited. I was surprised to find a place like this here, as it feels like the quality belongs somewhere in Manhattan. If this restaurant were in the city, it could easily rival Michelin-starred restaurants!

No joke, we ordered some of the most common dishes, but the quality was outstanding. When my cousin and I arrived, we couldn’t believe the prices—only $16 for fresh seafood! I initially thought that price was just for a small portion, so we ended up ordering a lot of food, and the total was just $120!

Fish Dumplings 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Who would have thought you could find such authentic fish dumplings in the U.S.? The fish filling is bouncy and fresh. It’s delicious even without dipping it in vinegar.

Lamb Soup 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Honestly, this is the best lamb soup I’ve ever had in the U.S. It has a distinct lamb flavor but isn’t overwhelming. It’s just fresh and light, not too strong. The first time we had it, the two of us finished a whole big bowl along with a plate of spicy crayfish

Steamed Egg with Clams 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
No one can resist the soft, fresh taste of steamed egg. With the clams and a special soy sauce, the flavor is refreshing and pairs perfectly with golden pancakes. It’s a must-try!

Stir-fried Shrimp with Soy Sauce and Chili 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This is my absolute favorite! It’s made with soy sauce, onions, and dried chili, and the aroma from the stir-fry is incredible. The highlight is the fresh taste of the shrimp. Unfortunately, this dish is out of season right now, so it’s not available.

Salted Egg Yolk Prawns 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
A must-order dish! The prawn meat is so fresh, tender, and juicy. The prawns are lightly fried, stuffed with salted egg yolk, and the outside is crispy. The aroma is irresistible!

Black Fish in Iron Pot / Fish with Golden Pancakes 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Fish is usually seasonal, but this place deep-fries the fish and then braises it in a rich sauce, which is just perfect. The golden pancakes are fried crispy on the outside but remain soft on the inside, perfect for soaking up the sauce.

Stir-fried Cabbage with Shrimp 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This is a highly recommended dish by my cousin. Nearly every table orders this. The fresh shrimp and cabbage are stir-fried to perfection with a fragrant oil. I once packed this dish for a colleague from Qingdao, and she raved about it all the way home!

Honestly, I would take an Uber to come here 6 times in half a month—this place is truly a hidden gem!

Parking: They have free parking in front of

Kid-friendliness: The stuffs are really nice to kids , and kids enjoy the food !“

“Fast service, food was good. We ordered house fries rice, orange chicken, fries wontons, spring rolls, egg rolls, dumplings, house lo mein, etc. I pigged out (with the Family). Whenever the orange chicken is made with white meat, and the shrimp is deveined, you know the restaurant is 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. No photos, I was concentrating on eating.“

“The best in town, my family goes nowhere else for Chinese. The Lady at the front desk is always kind, polite, and happy! Pick-up is the way to go, the interior is a bit small, but charming and nostalgic. Combo meals are unmatched, and the value is second to none. In 20 years they’ve never got our order wrong. ❣️“

“Food is delicious, fresh and hot every time. The food is definitely made in clean pans and oil and the taste reflects that. Not overly salty. We’ve ordered Lo mein, steamed dumplings, chicken with garlic sauce, general tsos chicken, chicken with broccoli and pork fried rice. Five star review every time, this is our third time ordering and the new Chinese place for us in the indefinite future. Fast delivery usually. I recommend Calling them versus using seamless app. Nice customer service taking order over the phone.“

“Tonight was the first time we ordered from here and all I can say is AMAZING things about the entire experience. When we picked up the food, we could immediately tell it was gonna be a good dinner because the whole family was there, including the children, which everyone knows that meals cooked by family are always the best so the food was DELICIOUS! The udon noodles with beef were the best noodles we’ve ever tasted. Definitely will be our new go too for takeout!“

“It's a basic Chinese food menu. Enough tables for eating in though they seem to do a large takeout business. I'm becoming a regular. Good food and they're nice.

Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options of course.“

“Love the food, their takeout is the best. Had some last night, loved it but wondered why the little fortune cookies now contained tacky Verizon advertising instead of the traditional charming fortunes.“

“Fast and good food. Very reasonable prices. Not quite a place for sit down but there are a few tables to sit and eat. It's generally for take out, either pick up or deliver. Parking lot is small. Getting in to lot is easier than getting out. Being it's location is at a corner which is often busy. Hard to turn left out of the lot due to the traffic pattern. Love the food there.

Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance is street level“

“The best Chinese restaurant this side of the Mississippi. Been eating here since I was a kid, but I have since left the area. When I visit my family, we get China Garden because they know how I miss this food. It has only gotten better and better over the years. I never leave reviews, but wanted to share my love for this place. ❤️“

“Ordered take out for the third time tonight, so now they've earned this review. General tso chicken combo w white rice was amazing. Chicken was crispy. Sauce had good flavor. Wonton soup was really good. Had a little taste of ginger in the wonton. It's worth noting that I've had their steamed dumplings in the past, and they were very good as well. Meaty and flavorful. White rice was the perfect consistency, as I like it on the sticky side. The woman on the phone was very polite, and the delivery came quickly. I've had others in the area but non seem to be as consistent or fairly priced. This place is a win IMHO.“

“the service and the food was awsome loved it definitely coming back💖“

“I ordered a side order of boneless spare ribs small and a egg roll for my mom the ribs were very good and delicious ? perfectly cooked and not greased my mom enjoyed the egg roll. The prices are very good ? and cheaper than other Chinese restaurants. The young Asian lady who works there was very nice and sweet. Also the place was very clean and easy to find. I will definitely order again. ☺️ They don't offer delivery but you can use door dash but it's very close to where I live so I don't mind pickup.“

“The food and service are excellent at this small, ‘blink and you’ll miss it’ Chinese restaurant. My son and I ordered sesame chicken, general tso chicken and crab rangoon. Huge portions and all of it delicious. You’ll likely opt for take out. Highly recommended! I even enjoyed the message on my fortune cookie! “Your dreams are the treasures of your soul.”“

“Food was delicious. Service was excellent“

“I ordered general Tso chicken lunch combo with a side of pork dumplings. The dumplings are TO DIE FOR. They fried them so perfectly. The dough was well proportioned with the filling and crisp if you eat them fresh. The pork fried rice was ok. Could use a little more seasoning but it wasn’t bad with some soy sauce. It balanced out the chicken and dumplings. The chicken had that standard thick sauce used in other Chinese chicken dishes. General Tso is made with chili flakes and is supposed to be spicy with a hint of sweet crispy chicken. But that sauce drowned out the other flavors of the chili that gives this dish its identity.The dumplings are definitely my favorite thing here. I would come again.The food took about 15-20 min to make which is quiet a while. But they did make everything fresh and hot. Which tasted a lot better that way.Spent $18 for everything. $9 (and change) for lunch special and $8 for dumplings.“

“All the people, with their negative reviews maybe they don’t have the right place. I’ve been eating here for the last decade and honestly their food has always been delicious. I’ve always compared their Chinese food to other places and other places have always disappointed for the most part besides another place locally as well! Especially when you live out of state, you realize how good our NJ food is!! Can you also believe they’re one of the few that offer the ginger sauce ?! When I lived out of state I would ask other Chinese restaurants for ginger sauce and they didn’t even know what I meant ! Chens is the best and quick service !“

“Staff are very quick and very nice. I usually get the lunch specials (nice portions), and sometimes dinners. Takeout, no dining in. I've found the food very fresh, tasty and plentiful. Never a problem customizing order and reasoning priced, for now.“

“I have been ordering from this place for a long time, and I have tried many of their dishes. I cannot think of one time the food was bad; I never had a bad dish from this place. The food is always fresh and taste really good. I highly recommend this place if you want Chinese takeout .“
