50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Parlin

“Always great food, super fast delivery & super fast when picking up orders too! Food taste & quality is excellent! Their prices are very good and you get a lot of food for the cost. We've been customers for about 7 years, love this place!“

“Yummy and reasonably priced. Always have a good meal from here.“

“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!“

“amazing! great tasty stuff“

“Wu’s fish house is so good!!! The location of this place is so good! there’s so much to do around in this shopping center and stopping by to eat here is perfect. The portions are really big and the price is so good! They have SOOOO many menu items to choose from so it’s perfect for everyone. The food is great quality everything is so fresh and flavorful. HIGHLY RECOMMEND DEF COME“

“I took my fiance here this past weekend and we had a great time. We got to pick which vegetables, meats, tofu we liked, which were all fresh. And then we pick the broth and pay. The Mala Tang in the end was delicious. The broth was very flavorful and aromatic and the meats, vegetables and tofu tasted superb!“

“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“

“Delicious food, and perfect for a meal any time of day or a late night bite. The malatang ain’t no joke and the fish was so tender! Particularly enjoyed the spicy beef tendon and tripe appetizer as well. Fast service, and owner is so kind.“

“My first taste of real China apart from the other restaurants of the local township and didnt even know it was here the whole time
The popular 3 didn't disappoint...
Delicious and tasty fresh....
Pork Buns, Dumplings, Pancakes!
Very Very Delicious and prepped!
Will soon visit again and again“

“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.“

“Great casual spot with a clean and cozy vibe. The food was flavorful and comforting, and the ingredients tasted fresh. Service was friendly and efficient. Definitely a solid place to grab a warm, satisfying meal. I’ll be back to try more.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“This is the only place I feel safe ordering in from as someone with food allergies. I have a dairy and gluten allergy and they are so accommodating with the dishes. You get big portions for a good price and the food is always so fresh. I also have a super stomach with some problems so I always feel icky eating out and since the food is cooked in high quality oil I never feel icky after eating here which is SO rare for me. The owner is incredibly kind and told me how she also has food allergies and is happy to make modifications and help. It’s so rare that restaurants welcome modifications and she always does so for me. I’ve never gotten sick here and it’s the one restaurant I feel comfortable ordering in from and look forward to doing so every week. The entire staff is helpful and are always kind and respectful even when the phone is ringing like crazy and there’s a line for pick up. They never rush you and always make you feel welcome. A local gem- thank you to the incredibly owner for giving us allergy people a safe place with delicious food and for accommodating me with a smile. I appreciate you so much. Please support this local small business“

“Love their Bento boxes!!!“

“Wow wow wow this place is so Chinese

Upon walking in the laoban talked to us for like 10 mins about how the pork was specialized from a facility in Maryland to get the same taste as Chinese pork by bloodletting

Anyways the sesame noodles were really great and the meat was good wonderfully flavored

The weird soup with pork balls was great too and kinda tasted like Chinese pork but maybe it was placebo

Bao buns might have been frozen but good

Fish balls we’re meh but maybe it’s just because I don’t like yuwan that much

But most of all the Chinese laoban felt like a very homely grandpa and even gave us boiled water lol

Overall very nice and decently priced very happy

4.5/5“

“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.“

“Ram & Rooster delivers a fantastic tasting menu experience from start to finish. The space is beautiful, with superb decor and a counter overlooking the open kitchen that makes the whole meal feel intimate and engaging all for a great price!

Several dishes stood out, especially the scallop course, which was perfectly cooked and incredibly flavorful. The duck dish was another highlight—rich, tender, and beautifully balanced. It’s also BYOB, and they offer some excellent non-alcoholic drink options that pair nicely with the meal.

Dessert was the perfect ending, with a bright lemon cake and a decadent chocolate dish that were both outstanding.

Phenomenal service throughout the evening made the experience even better. Ram & Rooster is a must for anyone looking for a refined and memorable tasting menu.“

“This place has been my go-to Chinese spot to get food from the foods pretty good the service there is great the ladies that take your order are very sweet very genuine and they always make you laugh. Me and my family have been ordering here for I don't know how long but it's our go-to spot, the food portions are good and the prices for most things are fair.“

“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“

“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 !!“

“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!“

“This is my all time favorite Chinese Restaurant! The food is delicious, generous portions and friendly service! We missed them during their brief closure for the beginning of the pandemic. Thank you!!“

“They still make really good food, not great like it used to be. They no longer have table service and the tables, chairs and rug are in disarray. They also doubled down on a weird pink color that leaves me to believe it must have been a clearance color.“

“The China Garden in Port Reading is a little patch of heaven . The Best in the area by far ! The server's are very friendly !
I ordered the veggie spring roll and was not disappointed, they were made to order fried to perfection.
If you're in the area it's a must , go to the China Garden. You will not be disappointed.“

“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.“

“We got the crab roe over rice and the green peppers with tofu. The crab roe over rice was really good, but pretty pricey. Next time, I'll probably just get the crab roe with tofu. The peppers were surprisingly good as well. Little bit of a kick and not too salty. The sides were REALLY good (pickled radish + wood ear)“

“I love this place!! Definitely recommend to everyone!!“

“Great Chinese food spot, nothing fancy just great food“

“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!“

“food was Absolutely delicious and everyone was very friendly! looking forward to going back soon!“

“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)“

“Authentic Chinese food at a reasonable price. Water and tea are self-serving. We ordered Sweet & Sour Pork Chop, Seafood Rice Cakes and Mapo Tofu with pork, all were delicious. Will try something different next time.

Parking: Tuesday around 1pm, plenty of parking.“

“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!“

“A small takeout Chinese eatery with a fairly standard menu selection bearing high average prices. Hong Kong Express serves americanized Chinese fare. Set in a small strip mall, there seems to be adequate parking. Upon entering, the first impression is clean. Featuring newer furnishings, decor and construction. As a child took my order and payment, this is clearly a family business.
So I've only had one dish at this place. I can say for freshness of ingredients, it's excellent. For amount of meat added, average. Unfortunately my dish was extremely bland. I had to add 7 packets of various sauce and that was still not enough. As I make this dish at home, the main sauce is soy. I wish I had grabbed more.
Speaking of sauce, no sauce, forks, chopsticks or napkins were added or offered. I'm glad I checked and added on my own.
This business succeeds in 2 major ways most other Chinese places don't (freshness and cleanliness). I hope I just caught an off dish. I'd return, but until I had a better dish, I wouldn't recommend.“

“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.“

“Even though I moved about 15 minutes away, I still drive to Old Bridge to pick up food from Chung Sing. Best Chinese food - have been going since the 80's!“

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

“what an amazing Christmas Dinner, will definitely be back to try more of the menu“

“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!“

“The only negative I have (and it’s a big one and has happened 4-5 times now), I order no onion in my pepper steak and they add a $2 extra meat fee. I didn’t ask for extra meat to compensate for lack of veggies , and I don’t like it added without it being acknowledged or even approved/denied.. really not okay with that decision being made without my knowledge of it and will say something next time..

However when it comes to the food? Do it. Our usual orders are a some kind of mix of chicken&broccoli, pepper steak, boneless ribs, sesame chicken, fried wontons… everything has been great every time. One of the “better “ meats when it comes to both the chicken and the beef.. delivery is uncomfortably fast at times lol. Prices are average to anywhere else around here but the portions are great. Would definitely reccomend.“

“This is my favorite American-Chinese takeout spot in NJ! The owners are very nice, the food comes out quick, and the quality is good. I've tried other Chinese takeout places in the area, and China Wok is the only one that I've been satisfied with. I love their Crab Rangoon and like to get Beef Chow Fun. All their dishes taste good for the price. It's a nice local spot to order from when you're looking for American-Chinese takeout!“

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

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Noodles Time is amazing! I absolutely loved the pig intestines—they were cooked to perfection and packed with flavor. But the real highlight was the duck noodle soup—it was to die for! The broth was rich and aromatic, and the duck was incredibly tender. The staff is super friendly. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!“

“Just ordered for the first time from this place and I have to say , WOW....the general chicken was delicious and the fried rice was very good .
I can't wait to try more options because based on what I have had im sure im going to love it.
Sorry I didn't post any pics but ate it way too fast like it was my last meal.
Very good portion size
Very good flavor
I definitely recommend“

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

“This place has incredible service. The food here is great and the dumplings are immaculate. All the staff members are incredibly nice and friendly. You can also tell that they reguraly change their oil based on the taste. They also offer to bring my food out too me due to me being to big to fit through the door. This place is a 10/10 and I would recommend friends and family coming to eat in this place.“

“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!“
