50 Best Chinese Restaurants near North Arlington

“I absolutely love the food here. I get it every now and then and the food is always hot, delicious, and cooked perfectly! They’re always on top of the orders and will always let you know in case there’s a minimal wait. I’ve tried multiple dishes and they all taste absolutely amazing. You can order online or in store (cash only in store but there’s an ATM). The owner is very sweet and friendly as well! She always knows what I order immediately. I would highly recommend this spot if you’re ever looking to grab a bite.“

“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 👍“

“This place is worth stopping by if you want to get something quick to eat on the go for less than $5! The curry fish ball rice roll and pork skin are great. There’s a nice flavor that’s slightly sweet yet savory. The owners are also very friendly and knowledgeable.“

“Chi Restaurant & Bar is incredible! We came in with a large party and they accommodated us perfectly, which meant we got to try almost everything on the menu. The food tasted totally authentic, yet somehow still fresh and fun. Seriously, it felt like every single dish we ordered topped the last one! The duck was absolutely fantastic, and the dim sum and veggies were just as amazing. Whatever you do, definitely don’t skip out on the cute desserts at the end. It's an awesome spot for a group dinner with top-tier food.“

“Had a fantastic first experience at Corner Chinese!“

“#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“

“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!“

“Have been here a few times, most recently yesterday. The food is excellent (baos, steamed dumplings, fried dumplings) but I think a lot of the folks who come here do so as much for the “novelty” aspect (“we ate at this weird Chinese restaurant in the basement of an abandoned mall”), as for the food! I usually visit Chinatown by taking the B train to Grand Street, & to reach Fu Zhou Wei Zhong Wei Jia Xiang Feng Wei walk east on Grand Street to Forsyth Street & then walk south on Forsyth to Division Street, passing the street/pavement vendors. You enter the building through the side door just after the Forsyth/Division intersection, wonder about the slightly funky smell :), and walk straight ahead to the stairs that take you to the basement, turn right, and right again to reach the place at the end of the hallway. You order at the window at the left. It’s primarily a wholesale business that supples other restaurants but for retail customers the choices are what I mentioned. There is plenty of seating now but I believe a while back seating was limited. It’s very much a down to earth no frills place, it helps to understand this so your overall experience is good. I like the dumplings, either steamed or fried, I am not a huge bao fan. The place is very well known now, thanks to YouTube videos and TikTok posts.“

“Hospitality AAA FOOD AA PRICE A“

“Such a great lunch spot in Greenwich Village! We tried the Signature Yunnan Rice Noodles, Premium Beef Rice Noodles, fried rice with beef, and a few appetizers. Everything was delicious, and the portions were very generous — we even took some food home. My 3-year-old especially loved the fried rice! Great food, nice atmosphere, and definitely a place we’d come back to.“

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

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

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

“Definitely one of the best pineapple pork buns I’ve tried. We really enjoyed these, and I’d come back for them again. One tip though: order online if you can. The line can get really long on a busy day, but the online order lets you bypass the regular line, which makes things so much easier.“

“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.“

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

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

“After years, congee village is still the best restaurant in the Chinatown area. Authentic and made-to-order food, very large portion (and relatively clean comparing to other Chinatown restaurants) You can tell dishes are made in house with top tier ingredients.

We don’t come here often, like twice pee year but since 10 years ago while the taste is consistent over years.“

“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.“

“$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.“

“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“

“Wow. Noodles were the absolute star.
The hand ripped noodles for the beef noodle was very chewy and thick and the beef was very tender and flavorful.
Mid spicy was a little spicy for the stir fried liang PI noodles for my taste.

Overall, very affordable, filling and yummy noodles!“

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

“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.“

“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 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“

“I initially had an issue with my order and was quite frustrated, but I want to give Xi’an Famous Foods full credit for how quickly and professionally they handled it.

I submitted an inquiry through their website, and CEO Jason Wang personally responded and helped resolve the issue very quickly. I truly appreciated the responsiveness and accountability. It completely changed my impression of the experience.

For anyone who has an issue with an order, I highly recommend reaching out through the inquiry/contact form on their website before immediately leaving a 1-star review. Give their team a chance to look into the problem and make it right. Based on my experience, they genuinely care about customer feedback and take concerns seriously.

Excellent customer service and a very impressive response from leadership. 5 stars for how they handled the situation!“

“Chongqing Chicken is great!“

“i went there with my family and we enjoyed every meal.
the portions are huge, especially compared with the price.
there’s a lot of variety in the menu, from vegetarian dishes to meat and fish.
the service is super fast.
you just have to be a bit patient about allergies, because the waiter didn’t understand what i was telling him so i showed him a photo of the food i was talking about.
if you are in chinatown i would recommend this place“

“enjoyable and great food“

“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 🩷“

“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:)“

“Had an excellent experiencing hosting a pre-wedding event on a Friday for ~100 people. We had half the restaurant for people to mix, mingle, eat, and drink.

All the guests were raving about how much they loved the food and drinks, and people were genuinely looking forward to it.

Made planning a huge event in the midst of all other wedding planning stress super easy. And the value for what we got was incredible, a fraction of the price others quoted us with so much more food and drink offered.

Would highly recommend for large events!“

“Awesome place! As a parent with a toddler, the move is to get the noodle bowl with extra noodles for the kid. But most importantly, get that Crispy Lamb Chop which is healing my tired parent soul. Then go to the park across the street. Perfect weekend 👌“

“Impressive for a food cart and noodles were really fresh but honestly consistency was too chewy for me and not bouncy enough. Also I went into a carb coma after this and passed out for over an hour. I got the large fresh shrimp roll with an egg and chili and soy sauce ($8 total). When I went the line was short like 3 people in front of me. Idk if I would wait over 20 min for this tbh would say this is a 3.5 star“

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

“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 pork and chive dumplings were amazingly delicious! We also had the chicken and shrimp dumplings. The soup was good and the noodles. Everything was delicious. We saw them on TikTok last night and went today. I’m probably going to go back tomorrow 😋“

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

“When I moved to NYC, this is one of my first restaurants I tried and it’s been my favorite ever since. I always get the green beans and an ube mule. For a tofu dish, I either get the mapo tofu or dry pepper style. The food comes out so quick and is best shared — that way you can try more! Updated from previous review on 2026-08-15“

“This is my longstanding favorite restaurant in the area. Roti Canai, Hainan chicken, spare ribs, and young tofu curry noodle soup are my go-to favorites. A family restaurant that never misses. Cash only establishment. I wish them success, prosperity, and longevity bc I also want to continue eating here for a long time.“
