50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Old Tappan

“We arrived at this restaurant for dinner. This place was recommended to us by a friend. Well, it was a winning. the staff were so friendly and we had a fantastic feeling. The food was just great. We had a great time and we will visit this place again. Keep it up.“

“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:)“

“We were staying at the Tarrytown house estate and decided to visit Goosefeather for dinner, not having any idea about the restaurant other than that it was located on-site. As Chinese-style martial artists, we were pleasantly surprised to see the Cantonese -fusion menu options as we walked in. Unfortunately, we did not have reservations, but we were able to sit at the bar. What an auspicious turn of luck! The bar offers not only the full menu, but the chance to watch professionals at their craft. We were taken care of by Mariana and Sara, who were busy yet still highly attentive. They were very knowledgeable about the menu, and explained everything even before our questions had a habce to leave our lips. We started with some standard drinks (a spicy martini, and one of their mocktails with Ron Zacapa rum added in). Solid pours, balancing the flavors of the drinks with adequate alcohol to keep things fun). Next week ordered the spicy rice cakes and the potstickers. Each was perfectly done. The potstickers were crispy but not burnt, and paired with a just-right spicy Chinese mustard. There were four per serving, which served to whet out appetites while leaving us waiting for more. Next, we got the spicy rice cakes. These were just hot enough to let the tongue know, but the spice built pleasantly. The plate was pretty big, and the two of us had more than one or two helpings each. Finally, we had the Crying Tiger Tuna. The lightly seared and seasoned tuna was paired with avocado salad, pickled gooseberries, and sweet goji berries. Delicious! To cap it off, we switched up our drinks for two of their signature cocktails. Sweet emotion is a pumpkin espresso martini with a smoky bubble of deliciousness in top. Love in an Elevator is a wild rum ride of flavors I'd never think to blend, such as apricot, chocolate, and lemon. Overall, while pricey, the experience, the food, and the atmosphere made it worth it! As a bonus, we were watched over by a really cool portrait of Bruce Lee!“

“This restaurant has consistently gotten better. Everything I've tried has been great. Tonight I had the best barbecue spare ribs I've had in a long time.“

“Best chinese takeout around!Been coming here since I was a little kid (over 25 years). Food is good, portions are big. Your beef or chicken with broccoli actually comes with sizable amounts of beef/chicken. Other places just load up on broccoli to keep their profits. You can't go wrong!“

“Have taken out quite a few orders from this small local place, and I have to say; it’s better than any place else in the area. Insanely enough, we’ve even tried the Italian (yes, I said Italian) food on the menu and that was pretty good as well! It’s a crazy combo, but it works. Their hot and sour soup, is def one of the better ones I’ve had. All the their dishes are loaded with ingredients. The portions are not skimpy, prices are very reasonable for what you get. All ready when they tell you it will be, and given to you without any “attitude”. Give them a try….i doubt you’ll be disappointed.“

“Su was amazing! I traveled up from the East Bronx for the best Chinese take out I’ve ever had. My Uncle referred me here and I can’t imagine eating from anywhere else now. I was made to feel so special just for making such a huge order and trip but it was worth it!“

“My favorite restaurant when I lived in NJ. Always great food. Lovely staff. We even went there for dinner the day after Hurricane Sandy. They had generators and still gave us a great meal…by candlelight because the power was out.“

“Extremely delicious and authentic Chinese food. As a white person who grew up in Fuzhou, China, this place instantly reminded me of my hometown. The flavors dance on my tongue like a beautiful ballet and my mouth is enveloped in heavenly textures. I seriously recommend this to EVERYONE. As someone who is currently living in Flushing, Queens, I drive to here every week with my wife and two kids. One time my kid didn't like the water the restaurant served, so of course I had to use the kung fu I learned to discipline them. Anyhow, this has to be the best restaurant on Earth. Give this restaurant a try and you won't regret it.“

“We are seriously SO impressed with Essex Chinese Kitchen. The food is amazing — everything tasted incredibly fresh, flavorful, and high quality. And on top of that, the prices are very reasonable for the portions you get.

We ordered the bubble teas (brown sugar milk tea and original milk tea), and they were SO good — perfectly balanced with that floral black tea flavor coming through. Not overly sweet, just smooth and refreshing.

I got the golden fried brown shrimp with fried rice and it was FIRE. Crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. My boyfriend ordered the chicken and broccoli, and they absolutely do NOT skimp on portions. The serving sizes were generous and so satisfying.

The staff were also super friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better.

Honestly, we found our spot. We’re definitely becoming regulars. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!“

“Authentic Hunan-style cuisine in a family-friendly setting that’s good for kids. The stir-fried preserved radish with smoked pork was flavorful and delicious, and the stinky tofu was also excellent. A great spot for traditional Hunan food!“

“Fresh!! The fried rice tasted incredibly fresh, full of flavor, and perfectly cooked. The wings were crispy, juicy, and absolutely delicious. Everything was served hot and the quality really stood out. Great food, great portions, and friendly service. Definitely one of my favorite spots for comfort food in Yonkers — highly recommend!“

“The Green Dragon 🐉 🇨🇳 is a winner 🥇 unassuming while delivering perfect taste, flavor and an incredible cuisine 👏🏻 it went straight in to my favorite Chinese Top 3 and I will be returning often, this is a true hidden gem in Northern Jersey and a must visit ⭐️🫶🏻👏🏻“

“Wonderful food. Soup is amazing. Service is great and the menu is huge“

“We recently had Kosher Express cater a dinner for 45 people at our synagogue. Jay was super helpful making last minute changes to our order so that we had an appropriate amount for everyone. Everyone raved how great the food was, and delivery was seamless even given we are a bit far away.“

“This place is a gem! My husband has been coming here since he’s been a kid. We were in the area and decided to stop in and eat. They were very pleasant and friendly on the phone when I called to place the order. The owner immediately recognized my husband once we arrived and was very welcoming. The place was very clean and the food was fresh and delicious. We will definitely be coming back here when we are in the area. Very happy this place hasn’t lost its touch over the years.“

“Great Food at fair prices ! kids and I love this place!!“

“Delicious consistent food and service. YUM!“

“Great coffee and service. ☕️“

“My favorite front counter person is back. She gets it right the first time, pleasant and sorely missed. She went away for a while and her replacement was nice, but just not the same. Oh, and with her return she brought higher prices. What hasn't eh? Food is decent and the delivery is quick. Minimum delivery has gone from $10 to $15. Not hard to reach as the prices went up, remember? Only place I buy from now is PIONEER.“

“EVERYTHING eat everything sooo good“

“BEST CHINESE IN BERGEN COUNTY

I stopped eating just to write how much I love this spot. I order almost once a week. The food never disappoints and I believe they truly deserve 5 stars. They have wonderful customer service, always pleasant when I call, speedy delivery, and quality food (and packaging) There is no other chinese food in bergen country i’ve found that I can say has all of these qualities about them. Tonight I ordered sweet and sour chicken with chicken lo mein. The lo mein is so good I would give it a 9/10. The sweet and sour chicken is my favorite. 10/10. Highly recommend if you want quick delivery and great chinese food.“

“This place is CRIMINALLY underrated! The food tastes fresher than any of the other Chinese food places in the area, the staff are so friendly and accommodating, and the atmosphere is rather cozy. Would highly recommend and will most definitely be returning.“

“I had such a wonderful time at 17 Cedar St B in Dobbs Ferry! The place is exceptionally clean and well-maintained. The attention to detail truly stands out, making for a very comfortable and enjoyable experience. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch location in the area. Five stars!“

“Awesome food and service. Nice atmosphere. nice bar upon entry“

“Thrilled they reopened! The BEST take out ever.While they were closed, tried three Yonkers take out, all three HORRIBLE and dirty ! You want great Chinese ?? First Wok by all means ❤️“

“I have just about tried every place and near my town of Rutherford. And every place IS HORRIBLE and gets delivered Lukewarm-cold and we are in town. But China Moon is a couple towns away and the food is always HOT & Fresh!!! Best Chinese food in the AREA!!“

“Just picked up some Chicken in Mango sauce! So delicious! That little bit of heat with that sweet mango sauce 😀. The vegetables were crisp and fresh. Highly recommend! Husband also enjoyed his Drunken noodle!“

“Delicious, friendly, and classic favorites! My family had eaten there and brought home food for me and it was delicious! So I went back to check it out myself. People were friendly, parking was in back, and menu was full of classic favorites. Highly recommend!“

“Xavier went above and beyond to help me because I am vegan! Im so grateful because I was alittle worried if it would be easy to order here. Thanks Xavier for making my life easier as soon as I stepped in the door!!! I will definitely recommend others!“

“Celebrated my daughter’s twentieth bday! Fun with the fam“

“My favorite Japanese restaurant. Chef Bing is not only talented but also creative. Food is delicious and wonderfully presented. I would highly recommend this restaurant.“

“I’m really glad this place is close by. The food here is very tasteful. I order the garlic shrimp with mixed vegetables and they always serve fresh vegetables and generously sized shrimp. In my opinion, it’s one of the best Chinese takeouts in the Nyack area. The owners are a hardworking family who provide friendly service.“

“Garden China in Elmwood Park is actually insane—in the best way possible. The food is so good it feels illegal, like every dish was made by chefs competing for a trophy.

And shoutout to Jayden Wu, easily the BEST cashier ever. I’m convinced the place runs perfectly just because he’s there.

If you haven’t gone yet, you’re missing out big time.“

“I’ve been coming here from when I used to go to Tenafly Middle school. This place was my go to for after school snack.
Price is still amazing for lunch deals around $8~$12, portions are generous, and ultimately foods are great.
It’s been more than 10 years but I’ll still come to Tenafly just for Good Taste general chicken tsp combo.
Highly recommended.“

“Change of style which I love owner very nice and sweet food was very good rice was great and very fresh pork fried rice was not bad at all I will love to come again 😍✨“

“The food is fabulous. The service is phenomenal. anything you get will be great!!!“

“Great food. No eat-in option, take out only. Order is always accurate and they load up the containers! Large size lo mien will feed the normal hungry eater for at least 2 days!! Great polite service and very convenient location, right off of Maple Ave!“

“For a long time I've been in search for a good Chinese takeout restaurant in Rockland. China King in New City USED to be really good. But they've gone down in quality. Now, I think there's a new King in town. I've eaten at Great Wall about 5 times in the past 3 weeks and I think this is easily the best Chinese food in Rockland. Every dish's ingredients is SOOOO fresh with great tastes. Absolutely delicious! I look forward to trying more of their dishes.“

“New Blue Sky is so good that I’m genuinely convinced Vincent Lin has a secret lab in the back making the food scientifically addictive. Every time I say “I’ll just order a little,” I somehow leave with enough food to feed a village.

And Vincent himself might be the hardest working cashier ever. I’m pretty sure bro takes orders, cooks, manages the restaurant, and controls the weather at the same time.

In Vincent we trust

“good selection of non raw sushi. nice green tea“

“Their food is consistently great. We literally won't order from anywhere else. The staff is helpful and efficient. Highly recommend. There's no rating for atmosphere, because it's a take out place.“

“Called my usual place ans they were closed. I thought Chinese food is always open. Found this place in a Google search and the woman answered, was friendly and pleasant. Service was great and fast. Food was good for Chinese take out and they gave good portions.“

“My go-to local spot for Chinese food! Their dishes are consistently fresh and flavorful, and not heavy or greasy. Portions are generous and they are always accommodating with special requests. Overall great service and the owners are genuinely kind.“

“This is the spot“

“The best food and it is a pleasure every time I return to Passaic from Los Angeles I try to bring as much as I can of their delicious food and going to pick up food brings back many memories of when I lived there and my young children but 100% recommended“

“We love Huangs Kitchen! The food is great and the people are the best. Our go to for Chinese take out around River Edge.“

“Was nearby and needed lunch and was in the mood for Chinese and saw the reviews on this place and decided to give it a try. Asked for special order of Beef and Broccoli with garlic sauce, no problem attitude! Food was great and ready in no time! Would come back for sure.“

“You know exactly what you're getting when you come in here by appearance alone. Awards from 20 years ago, menus on the wall... It's the classic Chinese-American spot.

I've gotten a dozen different things here, and every time they've been unfailingly cheap, fast and delicious.“

“Actually amazing. I'm a chef down in the city at a Michelin place, and this was the best Chinese takeout I've had in awhile.I peeped their ingredients and everything was fresh. Bright green veggies, even the scallions that the cooks garnished on the plates.The meat didn't have the typical freezer burn taste.Even the rice was plump as if expertly cooked in a fancy overpriced Manhattan place.The service... The solo cook was handling everything but took the time to even clear a table for my group among the boxes of supplies and hand delivered all the food. Even asked if everything was ok.When I asked for hot sauce, he gave me the legit chili sauce you find in Chinese supermarkets.This is the type of place that is a regional hidden gem. I'll be submitting this place to the times and nymag, as I would def come back again if in the area.“
