50 Best Chinese Restaurants near New Providence

“Consistently delectable!
It’s been about 15 years that we’ve been ordering from Fan Bistro monthly (sometimes weekly!) We have also had several major celebrations at the restaurant. My family and I commented today that we cannot remember one time that they didn’t get our order right. The food is exceptional and delicious every single time. High quality sushi, masterfully crafted meals and lovely presentation.
Bravo and thank you for your excellence and kindness!“

“Great tasting house fried rice and boneless spareribs....“

“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“

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

“All the people saying their meals taste bad, my brother in christ YOU made the bowl?? 😭😭
They got flavors by the end of the line & if it dont taste good to you 🤷 maybe you just dont like it thats fair. But like claiming its the restaurants fault is dumb, the visuals do need a face life & could be lil bit cleaner every now and then, but it only gets messy when its busy busy. And even then, the tables are not sticky, floors are not sticky, so idk where people say its filthy in here. Yall are missing out if you make a bad bowl, try something else!“

“My husband & I haven’t ordered Chinese food in a couple yrs bc it just kept getting worse, no matter how many places we were recommended. Even our OG tried & true (in our town) plummeted downhill, so we just gave up on it…. until tonight, when he said “I’m really craving Chinese!” I decided to google the best places in Union county & Trio came up first. After I peeped a ton of reviews, I IMMEDIATELY knew that’s what dinner was gonna be. Just picked it up maybe 45 mins ago & when I tell you, both my husband & I kept sayimg “this is amazing!”

Went with the black pepper chicken, bc how could I not! So many reviews mentioned it. The chicken is sweet, sticky, spicy in the best black pepper way, crispy yet lightly fried (almost like tempura) & that sauce mixed with the pork fried rice (with delicious chunks of fried onion & roast pork!)…. YUMMMMM!!!!! I’ve never had it before but it will be a staple going forward.

The pork fried dumplings were the best we’ve ever had. Filled with meat & fried to perfection. The shrimp rolls are packed with perfectly cooked veggies & beautiful, plump, pink chunks of shrimp. My husband said “that’s the best shrimp roll I’ve ever had. Usually they just taste like one note, everything in them blends together & it’s all just mush, but these are insane!” I got the large duck sauce bc no store bought ever comes close. The roast pork lomein hit HARD. The pork is succulent & moist, rather than dry as a bone and cut into teeny pieces like it is at every single Chinese restaurant we’ve ever ordered from. Absolutely delicious.

For my 83 yo FIL, we got his usual- a small order of bone in spareribs & I can hear him downstairs (as I type this review) telling his elderly dog “these are great, coco!” 😆

Last, but not least, I grabbed a homemade iced tea for my husband (thank you so much for throwin it “on the house”) & he sipped it down with a smile on his face.

I’m old school so I called our order in & she was the most kind, jovial, sweet as pie human. I’ve lived in NJ for 27 yrs now, and can truly say that this is, without a doubt, the best Chinese food we’ve ever had. Cannot wait to go back & try a bunch more dishes. But that black pepper chicken and these shrimp rolls will be a definite yes every single time.“

“Great little location on the corner of Elm St. for this takeout place. Friendly service, quick orders to go. The food is absolutely made with hard work and lots of love. This was our first visit considering we came all the way from Union. It was definitely worth the 22min drive. We would definitely order from there in the future. Thanks to the staffs attention to detail and packing the containers to the brim. Check it out peoples. Highly recommended!!😋🤤🍽🍜“

“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.“

“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.“

“If you’re looking for delicious authentic Sichaun dishes, recommend getting the Soup dumplings, Mongolian Beef, Dandan Noodles, Scallion Pankcakes, Chef Tan Style Fried Rice, Shrimp fried rice, Sichuan Style Hot & Sour Glass Noodles and Vegetarian String Beans. Heat levels can be adjusted to your liking.“

“I have been only going here fro a few years now because I do not live in Madison. However the food is awesome here and the front of house staff is very friendly. It is hard to find a really good Chinese food restaurant but I can honestly say this is my favorite one.“

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

“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.“

“I’m not sure what it is but the couple of times we order from here they somehow mess the order. Just today I order something so simple yet they gave me a small instead of large. They didn’t over charge me but I order a large for a reason.“

“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“

“This is such a gem! Feels like eating at grandparents’ house. Everyone is so caring and friendly. Make sure you order the traditional Taiwanese food - this is the real deal here. Everything was good - so many things they make in the house properly - fish balls, shrimp rolls, sausage etc. they even have organic dishes. You can taste the care they put into making the food. I am touched. We were so happy with the food that we ordered takeout for dinner after having lunch here. They also gave me complimentary bitter melon side dish 🥹“

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

“EVERYTHING I GET FROM WOK N ROLL IS EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Great food at a great price. Lo Miens were tasty. Not at all salty. General Chicken could have been spicer but I failed to request a stronger plate. Wonton soup excellent. Great dumplings and again not salty. And…get this…ordered French fries which had absolutely no grease and as tasty as McDonalds. Ya gotta get their fries ! Quick delivery. I will order from here again.“

“If you’re looking for clean, fresh food that won’t drain your wallet, this spot is a great choice. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the staff are always welcoming. It can get pretty busy since it’s popular, but the wait is definitely worth it. Only thing missing would be fresh juices, adding those would take it to the next level.“

“Hands down the best Chinese food in the area. However, I’m so upset they got rid of their sushi. It was the BEST sushi I’ve ever had. I can’t find anywhere in the area that comes close. It was so fresh. PLEASE bring it back 🙏🏻“

“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“

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

“My friend and I had a delicious lunch at Hui Tou Xiang! The leek pancakes and dumplings are all handmade in-house as well as the noodles. We’ll be going back.“

“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.“

“I had an incredible experience at Inches Bamboo Garden! Every dish we tried was flavourful and unique, from the veggie fried rice, manchurian and the amazing orange chicken. This place is a must visit!“

“Excellent spot for multiple different cuisines around Asia. I can't believe it took me so long to try this place, it is excellent! The sushi was super fresh and they had lots of menu items that were very unique like the dinosaur egg(fried lobster with layers of avocado on top). The dumplings were outstanding. Probably the best dumplings I've ever had! And the prices are extremely fair, we had so much food we barely finished. Will definitely be a spot I frequent.“

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

“We’ve been ordering from the New Rice Bowl for 10 years and the food is always delicious! It’s always fresh and hot whether you have it delivered or pick it up. No matter how late or early I go the food is always made to order and consistent…never sitting around all day like in some places. I can’t say enough good things about New Rice Bowl!“

“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 was my first time ordering from this restaurant because it's hard to find good Chinese food. I ordered an orange chicken combo very spicy. The flavor of the food is excellent, the pork fried rice was on point and freshly made, the orange chicken was a bit mushy more on the softer side. If they can fry the chicken a little bit crunchy it would be perfect. The eggroll I'm not a fan of but it was okay. I enjoyed the food, and that will be my new goto restaurant from now on.“

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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!“

“Casual take out Chinese with poor parking and a storefront that shows its time. Food preparation was quick. Food is fresh and delicious. My order is general tso chicken. As show in the attached photos, the chicken fills up the side of the container and is not layered over rice like some places do to cut costs. The portion is generous and I'm sure they just barely closed the lid. The chicken is cooked perfectly, lightly battered, fried to a crispy exterior and moist interior, I'm guessing dark meat which I prefer anyway. The sauce is tasty in this americanized version. The broccoli is fresh and healthy and steamed perfectly. The fried rice is excellent with pork, bean sprouts, green onions, and yellow onions. This rice was cooked expertly with wok hei, which is char, giving the rice a undertone of smoke. I'd pair this rice against that of upscale restaurants. Pork in the rice is abundant. Exerything in this order was fresh and cooked perfectly. My one negative is that general tso is supposed to have szechaun peppers and have heat, but this was sweet which is on par for most americanized Chinese eateries in the tri state area. As a visitor, I'm saddened I don't live closer to here as I would visit frequently. I do cook Chinese cuisine at home and can appreciate the technique and flavor in this order.\nOverall, excellent!\n\nEdit. This is now my third time coming here. The quality is consistently excellent. As I enjoy my lunch again I can taste that the oil use is fresh and clean.\nChinese has been my favorite cuisine since I was a child. For americanize szechuan, this is the BEST takeout I've had. I live in ny and come to this area twice a year for work. I look forward to coming here exclusively every trip. Last year I was disappointed to learn they were closed on the day I came (monday). If I lived local, I'd be a regular for sure!“

“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.“

“100% authentic Indo-Chinese, the owner and chef are from Tangra in Kolkata - the heart of Indo-Chinese cuisine in India. Amazing fried rice and chicken manchurian. Much better than some of the other so called Indo-Chinese options you may find in Edison.
You can take out or eat in - it's a small simple restaurant, but clean, well lit, with friendly and fast service (we got free Kolkata style tea) and a TV where we watched the Portugal Uzbekistan match. Also has a lot of ice-cream and candy options.
And yes, it's hidden on the 1st floor of an office building near the elevators, only open till 2:30pm :)“

“Excellent food, friendly and generous portions.“

“My husband and I recently moved to NJ and were looking for good Chinese food. You can't go wrong with Ms. Lin! Our food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Prices are very reasonable and we brought our own wine. We will definitely be back!“

“Beautiful, cozy atmosphere. The servers are fantastic. You won’t even have to ask for a refill because they will already serve it to you and refill your complimentary wontons with sauce. Food is absolutely delicious and perfect. Wide selection. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for some delicious Chinese cuisine!!“

“Dozo Sushi has the best service and incredibly fresh food! Not only do we celebrate all our family birthdays there, but we also find their takeout option very convenient. What impresses me the most is that Shirley remembers our allergies and always gives us the best recommendations. We can't recommend this place enough!“

“If you are looking for delicious Chinese food, I recommend you try Wok & Roll.

The food is delicious, a wide variety of options and a very clean place.

Definitely give this place a try it might just be your new go-to place for Chinese food.“

“They have the best Chinese to me compare to other Chinese places… especially the egg foo young I just love the taste of there gravy, the employees are so nice and respectful, very patient with me and my co workers, I even come when I go home and pick up food to eat for dinner everything is good, no complaint's“

“I'm from NY and been living in NC for 11yrs. I visited NJ for a few days and decided to order chinese. I ordered chicken and broccoli pork fried rice, rib tips and rice and chicken wings. The price was reasonable and the food was DELICIOUS. I asked for my wings to be crispy and they weren't but they were still good and they forgot my egg roll. Other than that I recommend this place“

“Best Shrimp with String Beans I’ve had in a long time! The portions are generous, and the shrimp are actually large, not the tiny ones you find elsewhere. The sauce is savory with just a hint of sweetness and ginger . Perfect over a bowl of steamed white rice!!“

“I’ve been ordering here for years and recommend to everyone in area. I’ve ordered multiple things off menu and they have all been delicious, Food is always good and consistent. Staff is friendly and appreciative of tip. Chicken wings, fried rice , boneless spare ribs are top notch! Highly recommend!“

“Quite a delightful place very cozy and I felt like I was back in mainland China. The scallion pancake really topped the experience for me not just crispy, but sold and fluffy on the inside. The fried rice is delectable and wasn’t too salty. Would recommend this place to others, the owners son is a very nice boy.“

“This place has an old school Chinese restaurant feel to it that reminds me of when I lived in new York. The food is very good I ordered beef lo mein and general chicken. The small portion size of both were enough for two people and everything was very good.“

“Best Chinese store in kenilworth“

“These are not the only dishes we ordered. There were a few more like stir fried crab, and a vegetable. They are all so good!

The best thing about this place is that the seafood is fresh. And the server super helpful and easy to talk to. We like discussing what seafood is fresh and what she recommends. I’ve been here twice, and will come back more.

It’s like a home cooked meal from a family by the sea in China. Love it.“

“We live in New York, but when we come to New Jersey, we get takeout from Garden Rice and bring it home. The broccoli with garlic sauce is excellent as is the cold sesame noodles. We’ve been coming here since it opened, when we lived in Chatham. The owners are friendly, the service is fast and the price is right.“
