50 Best Chinese Restaurants near North Plainfield

“Ordered from Mei Mei Wok for the first time tonight. Was looking for a new place to order Chinese food from and found them through a Google search.They have a convenient and easy to use ordering app. Placed my order through the app before I left work and it was ready when I arrived on my way home. Kept it simple and stuck to my normal choices of an egg roll, pork lo mein and General Tso chicken. Totally impressed! The egg roll was crispy and tasty, the pork lo mein was very good and the General Tso probably the best I have ever had. Will definitely be ordering from them in the future!“

“This place is unquestionably one of the best place to eat in the neighborhood. Anytime I come to this place I am profoundly pleased. They hold their very high level service and the topmost level of food they offer. You will be always satisfied with this place. Very recommended.“

“We ordered takeout from B2J Fish Soup, and the experience was fantastic. The soup was incredibly tasty, and the 'mini' size with extra fish was more than enough to feed three people—it’s a great value. I was also pleasantly surprised by the fried milk; I had never tried it before, but the lady was kind enough to give us a sample, and I ended up absolutely loving it. Mild was spicy, keep that in mind. Highly recommended!“

“The environment of the restaurant was amazing! The aroma and taste of the soup was delicious and fulfilling. Definitely would come back again.
Customer service was great. It’s been a while since we visited and they have added several different soup base choices. We went for the basic chicken broth with fish maw, but will definitely try other ones next time.
All the hot pot restaurants in the area are all-you-can-eat, but this one isn’t. However, the quality of the soup stock is way better and the dining environment is quieter.“

“Hot pot is often very hard to eat. Our vegetarian family often struggles to find food not contaminated with meat or fish. At Mala Town, we were very pleased to see how thoroughly the dishes and utensils were cleaned. Furthermore, the food options were vast, fresh and customizable. This place is perfect!“

“My date and I came here last night and everything was excellent! The wait staff was also very attentive and answered all of our questions and was able to offer recommendations. We got a fish and egg appetizer which was absolutely amazing, the sour and spicy black cod soup, and the osmanthus lotus root for dessert. You can order from iPads that have pictures of everything on the menu and it sends everything straight to the kitchen. It may be helpful if you speak Mandarin but it is not necessary.“

“amazing! great tasty stuff“

“Best Chinese food we’ve had in a long time. We ordered the popcorn chicken and cumin beef, and both were excellent. Everything was flavorful and well balanced without being overly oily or salty. Even our toddler loved it.

The owner was incredibly kind, and we had a nice conversation about plants and food. The restaurant itself is also very clean and welcoming. Great prices. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Really good food and late nights eats to be quite honest. It’s affordable to people going to Rutgers nearby and quick and easy to get to. Not too far from the yard and it makes it more convenient if you’re a nearby college student or just living in the area. Good eats I’d say“

“The entire staff was outstanding! This all-you-can-eat hot pot restaurant is sure to lift your spirits, and the wide variety of delicious options really whets your appetite. It’s the perfect place to enjoy lunch with family and friends. We’ve had a wonderful time every time we’ve dined here, and we’ll be back soon.“

“Excellent cold sesame noodles! Everything is so fresh!“

“Wow! Really hard to put into words how incredible the dining experience was here. The service, beverages, & chefs tasting menu was an experience unlike any I’ve ever had before. The food was art & tasted just as beautiful as it looked. Thank you to the team for being so passionate about what you’re doing, and I look forward to returning again someday.“

“Personally, I think this is the best hotpot place in this area. Its a small restaurant but it’s so cozy, the staff is so kind, and the food is delicious. My husband and I always start off with their Sliced Beef and OX Tongue in Chili Sauce ( it’s served cold but it’s so good!). We then get their hotpot ( you can definitely share one order with two people). Their spice level is no joke! - and it’s delicious. We also love their specialty drinks; they’re so refreshing and help cut the spice level from the hotpot.
The staff is so helpful and accommodating. We have baby, and they have always gone above and beyond to make sure we are seated comfortably with our stroller by our side. It’s one of the few places that we have found easily fits a full stroller next to our table.
We’ve brought all our family and friends here because of how much we love this place.
The parking space is a little small, but there are plenty of neighboring parking spots that you can use.“

“Great food. The sampler dumplings are awesome.“

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

“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!“

“I have been going here 25+ years. Always the same reliable staff who serve the most delicious and healthy Mongolian BBQ that I have ever experienced. This time I brought my 16 year old son and he absolutely loved it and he already wants to go back. These owners and staff give the best customer attention and service at such a reasonable price for all you get. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“The ma-la stir fry is the best I’ve had anywhere in the state. Recommend to come and try Spice24 in particular. I come every other week and have never had a bad experience.“

“We discovered this restaurant through RedNote and came here directly for lunch. We ordered the pickled fish and fried tofu, and we would strongly recommend both—especially if you love fish and tofu like we do.

The fish was very fresh, and the soup was surprisingly light and flavorful, not oily at all, so you could actually enjoy drinking it. The tofu was excellent as well—it was lightly fried first, then cooked again with onions and green onions, which allowed it to fully absorb the sauce and become incredibly juicy and flavorful.

The complimentary cold dishes were also a pleasant surprise. The potato slices were especially delicious, even though they were free. We also enjoyed another cold dish with onion slices mixed with peanuts, fried tofu cubes, and black mushrooms. Overall, it was a very satisfying meal, and we would definitely come back.“

“Absolutely a fantastic restaurant with amazing dishes! The place has a cozy and comfortable atmosphere and the food was to die for. I recommend the pork soup dumplings and the red bean sesame balls. The pork soup dumplings were flavorful, juicy, and full of soup. The red bean sesame balls were warm and crunchy, with the red bean paste inside soft and tasted like heaven. All the other options we ordered were delicious as well, like the chicken leg noodle soup, the fried noodles, the mango pomelo sago, and the clear shrimp dumplings.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This is a truly authentic Fuzhou snack spot. Their *banmian* (tossed noodles) is the real deal—genuine Fuzhou-style noodles. It’s the kind of *banmian* that only someone from Fuzhou could make. It’s even more authentic than what you’d find in New York.“

“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.“

“Love the food here and enjoy the experience. Will keep coming back.“

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

“I heard about the Huaiyang cuisine presented at the recent US-China May banquet and had to come try out this restaurant specializing in it. It was very good, my family gives it a 11 out of 10, my aunties loved it especially. Very lowkey ambiance with a great elevated view outdoors to the bustling plaza filled with night lights“

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

“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 ordered the mala dry pot which is pretty expesnive at 35 dolars compareddd to other items. While the flavor isnt that bad I feel like they pad it up with way too many veggies and such; theres not that much meat which im kinda disappointed with especially with how much im payin“

“My husband and I make it a habit to dine here on weekends. They offer an incredible variety of rice noodle dishes. My personal favorites are the kimchi soup and the tomato soup. However, my husband prefers the hot and spicy soup. And let me tell you, their popcorn chicken is the best in town! Highly recommended!“

“Tasty Kitchen truly exceeded expectations! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The fried rice was perfectly seasoned! The beef and broccoli was tender with a rich, savory sauce. The sushi rolls and Kani Salad were amazing!
The wings were SO crispy and juicy Everything tasted like it was made with care and quality ingredients. We were so content and happy with all our food choices that we got and the variety of food to choose from is absolutely great!

On top of that, the restaurant and kitchen were extremely clean, which made the experience even better and more reassuring. You can tell they take pride not only in their food but also in maintaining a spotless environment.

I’ve lived in the area for about 26 years, and this is hands down the best Chinese/Japanese food in town! Today is the first time we tried their Chinese and we dined in! We had only tried their sushi twice before at a friends house and we loved it so we decided to finally come and take a look ourselves!

Let me tell you I highly recommend Tasty Kitchen if you’re looking for delicious, high-quality Chinese food! Definitely will be coming here whenever we are craving Chinese or sushi!“

“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!“

“I hadn't visited this place in over 10 years [out of state] and I must say it's just as good as is was back then. I used to LOVE going here and id just sit on my car and eat egg rolls in the parking lot lol. It's such a cute little spot with great food. Idk if it's the same owners since back then but still amazing !!“

“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“

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

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

“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.“

“First time ordering here, I had never heard of it despite living in the area, but they had a deal on door dash so I decided to try it out. I have been looking for a good Chinese food restaurant since I moved to this area but have so far been disappointed until today. By far the best Chinese food in the area. Generous portions, and tasted great. It even arrived piping hot. It was also packed very well so it delivered perfectly, no mess anywhere. Glad I found this place because its on my way home from work so I will definitely be stopping by again.
I had the orange chicken with fried rice and egg roll, it was great. I also got plain lo mein, it wasnt overcooked like a lot of places, the noodles were still loose and had a nice chew, not just mush, and a scallion pancake which was super crispy. I was really happy with everything!“

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

“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“

“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)“

“Today dined at this restaurant for my daughter's birthday and I must say, the food tasted absolutely delicious. The quality of service was top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff who made us feel welcomed and taken care of. What made the experience even more special was the personalized touch they added to make my daughter's birthday extra special. I highly recommend this restaurant for any special occasion!“

“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.“

“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 ???“

“I’ve been ordering Chinese takeout back to living in Brooklyn for 20+ years. In almost all Chinese restaurant reviews, people always complain about delivery and how many shrimp they got. Just order pick up and don’t go to pricy places if u want to avoid being disappointed. I’ve bought from Madison Wok for 15 years now and never had a late order when ordering pick up here (usually 15 mins). The food tastes exactly as my local restaurant when I was a kid, so I can’t complain. For the price, consider how little you are paying for the amount of work and manpower going into it •• esp since it’s done so fast. Dao nearby has slightly less oil and flavor for a lot more money. I wanted to like it but just poor value since your deliver or pick up order price needs to support the wait staff. No American style Chinese food is healthy for you so stop thinking you’re doing something good by paying someone extra to do less oil, msg, etc. in summary, this is an old school place that gives you the standards for the least amount of money you’ll pay in this zip code. Not something to eat everyday, but when you need your fix for this kind of stuff. I recommend the pork dumplings, fried wings, curry chicken, wonton soup and any fried rice, plus the chow fun and generals chicken. My 3 kids never complain and no one has ever been sick. Sometimes I’m not crazy about the amount of meat but remember that I’m not paying $15 or $20 for a pint here, and the low prices are supporting a skeleton crew.“
