50 Best Chinese Restaurants near North Arlington

“So I’ve lived in Belleville for 7 years and have given up hope on finding good Chinese food so I was hesitant but I have finally found my place. The rice didn’t need any sauce on it, it had flavor without it and the boneless ribs were so good.
Egg roll could have been better, it was a little oily but other than that I was highly satisfied. Definitely going back.“

“The food is always fresh and hot 🥵“

“I really love this restaurant. It has been open here
for over ten years and has always been run by the same owner. I especially enjoy their Chinese dishes and sushi. The style of the place is fantastic, and the atmosphere is incredibly comfortable and pleasant. I always bring my husband and children along, and they love it just as much.“

“Great oyster mushroom and rice rolls“

“very authentic Chinese restaurant. like the decor. service is 👍“

“Every time I eat here, it takes me back to when I was growing up. They started as a rice roll cart on Grand Street, and they've perfectly preserved that authentic street-cart taste.

The steamed rice rolls with curry fish balls are soft, chewy, and perfectly sauced with hot sauce and extra peanut sauce. Grab an iced Hong Kong milk tea to go with it.

Highly recommend for a true taste of old-school Chinatown!“

“Had a fantastic first experience at Corner Chinese!“

“Spicy Village was a wonderful place to have a Christmas meal! Actually, I'd like to rename it "Spicy Cozy Village" if a spicy environment can also be cozy! To start with, they were very gracious by accepting a reservation for 8 people at 6:00. Then they came outside and took our order even before we sat down and so the food was nearly ready by the time we had taken our coats off! The festivities kicked off with a plate of crispy peanuts, which ended up being the chosen appetizer, main course, and dessert for the little guy in our party. We then progressed to delicious dumplings, sesame chicken, spicy lamb huimei, and other delectable specialties! What was so amazing about the experience is that despite packing lots of people into a relatively small square foot area, it did not feel claustrophobic at all; rather it was comfortable and cozy, like sitting at a big table for a family meal at your house (even if it was take-out!!). Overall, Spicy Village was a terrific place for Christmas dinner - and I'm strongly considering coming back here for the 8 days of Hanukkah too!“

“#豬肉腸加芫荽蔥 豬肉腸➕芫荽蔥係我一向響一記嘅叫法，暫時一記整嘅呢隻味道我已經食得好滿足，我唔需要轉住。😆  #一記 #nyc“

“The food was BUSSS!!! The steamed buns are some of the best you could get anywhere if you can only taste one thing that should definitely be your choice. The dumplings are also super good and everything is so cheap. Only issue is the dirtiness in the mall but I feel like it’s part of the experience so no biggie. Definitely a unique super tasty experience.“

“Hospitality AAA FOOD AA PRICE A“

“Stopped by for dinner while in the NYU area and it feels like the kind of place that just fits the neighborhood.

Very casual setup, nothing fancy. A lot of students coming through, people eating solo or in small groups — pretty easy spot to drop into without thinking too much.

Food is more on the home-style side. Not overly heavy or overly seasoned, which actually makes it easier to come back to. Portions are decent, and prices are reasonable for this part of the city.

It’s not really a “destination” restaurant, but more of a reliable, everyday kind of place. If you’re around NYU, I can see this becoming part of a regular rotation.“

“Insane drinks made by Bonnie (the Jasmine Fall and the Cherry Old Fashioned) the flavors were unlike anything else we’ve ever had. Will be dreaming about the Jasmine Fall. Same with the food - absolutely amazing dumplings. Also - drinks were buy one get one free because it was late night. Bonnie is the best - she was so helpful and kind when it came to helping us narrow down what we wanted!“

“Fresh and homemade Chinese food. An amazing cheff, cooking with passion and love. Highly recommended 💯“

“Shrimp with crispy peppers and peanuts and pork cooked in soy sauce with egg“

“Was pretty excited to see this place right next to my hotel. Ate twice before I left back home. 🍜 ramen was amazing“

“We came here to try the iconic pineapple pork bun! It’s pretty good but my partner definitely enjoyed it more than I did. I wish I was in NYC longer to try out everything else on their menu. Everything looked good and reasonably priced.“

“Shan is where you go when you want to do anything from grab a casual meal to celebrate a milestone in life. They also deliver which randomly takes a long time but it’s so good you don’t care when that food hits your mouth. Shan is a household word which we judge all other eating experiences by.
We ❤you Shan.“

“Good food with a price you cannot beat.“

“We found a new Chinatown favorite here… highly recommend! ❤️“

“Lychee ice was delicious and quite sweet, with a few real lychees in it. The braised lobster with scallions was a bit too salty. The osmanthus vermicelli and egg soup actually had a hint of osmanthus fragrance. The quality of their dishes is relatively consistent.“

“Great dinner, great setting, excellent service 👌“

“The food is consistently delicious and is always fresh but the portions are small“

“Great service and fabulous food“

“Very good well done food.“

“Great prices for delicious food. I see why Guy Fieri has come here three times. The noodles are perfectly imperfect and the flavors are spot on. The only questionable thing about the place is that the duck is served bone-in which brought down my wife's enjoyment of her dish“

“$3.50 for wheat noodles peanut butter. Awesome taste with freshly prepared
$5.00 Dumplings were good too.
Lines look too long but if moved very fast. If you’re a group try to find a spot to have a dine-in as there is a less spacing inside the restaurant. Bring Cash only.“

“tried the salty Duck egg fried rice with shrimp and it was full of flavor. must try!“

“Wonderful food, friendly and helpful staff, great atmosphere and location. The best soup dumplings I’ve had in Manhattan.“

“Went there for my birthday first time Food was amazing the flavor open up my taste buds even more then what I usually go for but I will definitely go back the waiters and waitresses we're super nice especially Kim she made my birthday even more special her energy was so beautiful so I will definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to try something new I do recommend you make a reservation instead of walking in because they fell up fast“

“I’ve been on a malatang phase and this is one of the better ones I’ve had. You build your own bowl and it actually feels like the flavors come through, not everything blending into one spicy mess.

The broth is rich but still balanced. It has depth without feeling greasy, and you can actually taste what you picked instead of it getting lost.

Ingredients feel fresh and there’s a good variety. Nothing looks tired or sitting there all day.

Also their chili oil is really good, which makes a big difference. It brings everything together without overpowering it.

It’s a bit chaotic grabbing everything but that’s part of it. Not a place to sit for long, just build your bowl, eat, and go. But it’s consistently solid and I keep coming back.“

“I was there at Jian Nan Syosset, Long Island. Everything went great!! But, those took the orders needed to be more educated to understand each dishes. We were a fairly larger group than standard party size. Some dished were small and some dim sum served with small quantities, like 3 or 4. Those who order for the large group, should give suggestion to order multiple orders for the same dish. So, each one in the group can have at least one.“

“Awesome place but biggest flaw is that they’re not actually open everyday, even if the weather is good. I passed by today at 8pm, weather was perfect and they weren’t there. I wish they had some way of letting people know if they’re not open for whatever reason, even if its just an instagram page of something“

“Wow, this was SUCH a great spot. This NYC chain is legendary for a reason.

Beware, if you don’t like spicy food, this isn’t for you. Even on the “less spice” option, we were definitely feeling the heat. The noodles in the Cumin Lamb Noodles were the star of the show - so tender and full of flavor.

The interior is simple and a little small, so I imagine during a lunch rush it could get crowded, but we were there at an off time so there was plenty of room.“

“Chongqing Chicken is great!“

“Wish this place was near my home. I’ve tried similar noodle dishes at other restaurants, but none of them compare. Every time I have something similar, I find myself missing this place. It’s honestly one of the reasons I would come back to New York.“

“Just finished eating here and this place is amazing. We ordered the Sesame Chicken and Young Chow Fried Rice. The Sesame Chicken was delicious as it wasn’t too sweet, but instead hits right on the spot. The Fried Rice tasted really good. The waiters were pretty nice and it wasn’t crowded when we came so we only had to wait like 10 minutes for the food. The atmosphere is very decorated and clean which adds to the authentic Chinese restaurant look. Overall, I recommend this place and if you’re in the area, try it out!“

“enjoyable and great food“

“When a restaurant gets a bib gourmand from the Michelin guide yet averages only 4.3 stars on Google, you know you're in for a good time - and this did not disappoint.

The ambiance is great. The egg rolls, wonton soup and eggplant general taos were to die for. The beef and broccoli didn't hit as much as I would have liked but didn't matter we were already in love. The blood orange sorbet is the icing on the cake. Well done, team.“

“I came here with a good friend of mine after a really difficult work week.
The food came out in good timing and the atmosphere was really chill and welcoming.
Todd was really great in recommending dishes that satisfied the variety of preferences between my friend and I. The dynamite shrimp was my favorite- very crispy and flavorful.
I plan to come back next week 🩷“

“For a chain, they are doing it well. They keep adding trendy options. There is a nod to most Asian culture's foods, not just Chinese. The food is executed well and affordably priced. The staff is well trained and hospitable. The decor is modern, clean, and comfortable. Appreciate that they offer brown rice.“

“Had an amazing experience at this PF Changs, our server Greg was extremely attentive and friendly. Love it here! Make sure to get the crab wontons as an app:)“

“I great food and service. High quality land authentic.“

“I went to a lot of restaurants in New York that were much fancier than this cart but this was my favorite food of the day. The cheong fun was gooey and had qq and a decent amount of meat. For $5 for the large, it was such a deal and fed three of us as a snack. I would go back in a heartbeat and order more. Wish we had this in Chinatown in Houston.“

“This is a solid, dependable bowl of beef noodles that hits the spot if you are looking for a comforting, no-fuss meal.
The broth is the highlight here—it’s savory and warm, with a nice hint of warming spices that gives it some depth without overwhelming your palate. The beef is cooked well enough to be tender, and they give you a decent portion of it distributed throughout the bowl. As for the noodles, they have a pleasant chew to them, though they could have been just a touch firmer.
It might not be the most mind-blowing or intensely flavorful bowl of noodles you'll ever have, but it’s hearty, satisfying, and exactly the kind of comfort food you want on a casual weeknight. I’d happily order it again when I'm in the mood for something simple and reliable.“

“I came here as part of a group of four and we ordered one of everything off the menu to share. It feels like upscale Chinese tapas, perfect for sharing with friends, maybe difficult to come as a solo diner for a meal. Everything was incredible, a wonderful spin on Chinese cuisine while still being faithful to classic ingredients. My only mild complaint is that the music is on the loud side, and the chopsticks are form over function. It’s hard to pick anything up with them.“

“So what do you do in the middle of an NYC Pizza Crawl to break up the pizza fatigue? You get dumplings, duh! Jin Mei has been on my bucket list for a while but just hadn’t had the chance to go but as the day progressed our last pizza stop was a few blocks away from Jin Mei so walked from Little Italy to Henry St in Chinatown for these iconic dumplings…hand made by these Chinese women who could make them with their eyes closed and one hand tied behind their back…cash only, $5 a box (would pay $15 for one order in most restaurants) so I had Olivia pay since I don’t ever have cash and we got one stranded and one fried order of pork & chive…this was arguably the best thing we ate (and that includes some amazing pizza and Peter Luger’s) this trip…we only ate half and Olivia had some the next day! We almost went back for another round but our travel was hellish on the way up to NYC and was twice as bad going back…but I digress…if you find yourself in lower Manhattan, you’d be remiss to not go by Jin Mei!“

“The flavor of this restaurant is actually not that far from what I had in China, and it's fairly authentic.“

“After working extremely hard all day, all I wanted was a good vegan meal.

My original plan was to visit Spicy Moon on 8th Avenue, but due to technical difficulties and staffing on their end, I ended up heading over to the West 3rd Street location instead. No complaints from me. I'm not about problems, I'm about solutions, and Spicy Moon West 3rd became the solution.

As soon as I called to make sure they were open, I spoke with the one and only Khalil, who was the real deal. Professional, welcoming, and helpful from the very beginning.

When I arrived, Khalil welcomed me in, and Ole was there as well. I sat down, ordered my meal, and enjoyed every bite. The chili noodles and ramen reminded me of my time in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I wish it came with Chiang Mai prices, but we're in New York City, and that's another story.

What mattered most was the experience. From beginning to middle to end, I was a satisfied customer.

This wasn't my first positive experience with the team. I remember my first encounter with Ole and Jorge, and once again the customer service, hospitality, and food did not disappoint.

The ramen was absolutely amazing, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was on point.

Shout out to Ole, Khalil, and Jorge for making sure a long day ended on a high note.

A satisfied customer.“

“Little busy but able to find the table, service is quick. There are so many desserts, non alcoholic beverages that are affordable too. I enjoyed my pineapple fried rice with tofu(next time gonna ask without raisins though) and my friend loved his Ginger duck. The server was patient and kind in honoring my dietary requests of not including any meat/fish/anything related to that.“
