“I go every Friday and get the Double Pork dish. It is amazing!!! The ingredients are so fresh and it's a lot of food. I'm a big eater and I can't eat it in one sitting. I make two meals out of it. Considering the quality and quantity, the price is a bargain. I will be a lifelong customer.“

“Discovered this hidden gem. If you are looking for a unique quality experience with Chinese food this is the an amazing food place. Tried them out two days ago by ordering their Dry Chicken dish. Be careful as it has bones but it was unbelievably delicious, a flavor and texture that was so unique. So the next day we got their liver, fish and a soup. Simply delicious. Could not stop eating.The staff are great but do not speak english and their online menu is also unclear. Its best to get the printed menu. We are so excited to try all their other dishes. Also, it's takeout only.If you are used to regular american-chinese fare then this is not the place for you. If you love to experience exotic flavors then have fun.“

“We tried the crab buns and shrimp dumplings at Wu’s Shanghai Dumpling, and they were absolutely delicious! The crab buns were perfectly fluffy on the outside with a rich, savory filling that really hit the spot. The shrimp dumplings were fresh, juicy, and beautifully wrapped—each bite was full of flavor. The service was friendly, and the place had a cozy, welcoming vibe. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Shanghai-style dumplings!“

“Such a nice evening!! The food was delicious and our server (so sorry I don’t know your name!! The Hungarian girl from Felsoörs 🇭🇺🇺🇸) was exceptional, so knowledgeable of the menu, sociable, prompt and helpful! We had the fried eggplants & chicken popcorn as appetizers, then various types of noodle dishes, sesame chicken and seafood tofu. Super yummy, and cozy atmosphere. Will go back when in Princeton!“

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

“The food was delicious, with a great fusion of Latin from different countries and Asian cuisine. The hospitality and attention were great. Even though it was just one person, he took good care of us. The atmosphere was comfortable. It was a quiet Monday night.“

“Best location especially just outside of Six Flags. This location is super convenient and the quality of food is on par if not better than other locations like the mall. It’s a standalone restaurant and the value and options are great. It’s always fresh and plenty of room to enjoy your meal. The best part is they don’t increase the price or lower portion/quality like the Popeyes next door. We actually like going to this specific location.“

“Hello China wok, I am the guy who orders the, General Tso's ☯️ Chicken 🐔 with no rice regularly. I decided to try your location because, my wife and I wash clothes in that location. I am a student of Martial Arts for many years and a Trenton firefighter, so I have a lot of respect for the Chinese people and the food. I had to see how well the food and business were in that location. Honestly, the cleanest Chinese Restaurant in the Area that I know of, Bathroom, Service and food 😋. Well done. Keep up the Amazing work. ☯️ 🥋💯

Parking: It's a small strip mall, so it's plenty of parking.“

“This review is long overdue. I actually live in VA. However, every time I come up to Jersey to visit family I always order from China Wok. My family never ordered from here until I tried it out. They enjoy the food as well. We've tried different dishes and have yet to be disappointed. My orders are always delivery. I have yet to visit the restaurant in person. I highly recommend China Wok.“

“China Garden is definitely one of the best spots around if you’re looking for affordable and delicious Chinese takeout. The food is consistently good — flavorful, fresh, and satisfying. When you pick up your order directly, the prices are very reasonable. I spent about $18 for two full meals, which is a great deal considering the portion sizes.

Just a heads up: if you order through Uber Eats or other delivery apps, the total can get pretty pricey with fees and markups. So if you want to keep it affordable, picking up is definitely the way to go.

Overall, a great choice for a tasty, budget-friendly meal when you’re craving Chinese!“

“I sent you message please check your inbox“

“this was our first time celebrating my daughter's 17th birthday, her choice. never tried this style of dining before and it was great. service was quick, friendly and helpful with the menu. highly recommended to try. thanks you for making a memorable dining experience!!“

“Le Dish Asian Fusion is a great spot to go. Whenever my wife and I are in NJ we have to stop by. The Fried dumplings, Grandfather(General Tso) Chicken, Chicken Chow Fun, Boneless Ribs, Fried Cheesecake and Thai Iced Tea and the best. Also, beautifully decorated.“

“fresh great food light flavorful“

“I did an order delivery tonight and it's probably enough for three or four nights. I ordered directly from the store..The delivery came within 30 minutes and the lady I spoke to to make the order was very nice before that. I got some steamed chicken dishes with sauce on the side. I asked for brown rice instead of white rice and it was only a dollar per serving. I also got pork with snow peas and it came perfectly beautifully steamed even though i didn't specify that but it's exactly how I like it. Also lo mein as well. All of this with delivery fee and tip totalled about 60 or $65. And the food tastes just great. I am so happy I ordered from them and this is the second time I did so and had forgotten about them for a while. I rate this as the best Chinese delivery food in the area.

Dietary restrictions: They have great steamed dishes with sauce on the side and no added salt or oil.“

“(Recommendations below) Their service is always speedy and orders always accurate. Food is always delicious. This is the go-to for everyone in the area whether it’s for a lunch break or dinner time take-out. They don’t offer delivery, but it’s in such a convenient location that it works out. Haven’t been to any other chinese restaurant as good as China Star 💗⭐️ they’re so consistent in every aspect. They also have a buffet, but I haven’t tried it yet. Give them a try!

•Wings + French fries are unmatched!!
•Peanut butter chicken
•Black pepper chicken
•Fried rice
•Singapore Mei Fun
•Scallion Pancakes“

“This is our go to place for Chinese and Seafood Boil. We love the friendly service and they accommodate all our special requests. I love that we can have seafood boil and Chinese food all at once. Everyone wins. We have been coming here for almost 20 years and loved every meal. Eat local and support local business!“

“"我喜欢这个中国饭关""I love this Chinese restaurant" I said just that in Mandarin Chinese!(If I misspelled any character, feel free to correct me if you know Mandarin Chinese) The kind woman at the register lets me say phrases in Mandarin to her. Thanks!“

“I thought the food I got was really good. It was very greasy, but that's how I like my Singapore noodles. It was actually spicy when I ordered it spicy. There were a lot of vegetables in the noodles including bamboo shoot, cabbage, peppers, and the meat. I don't know if I actually got extra shrimp in it for the extra $2 because it seemed like a normal amount of shrimp. I guess that's just how restaurants are these days. They cooked it up super quickly. I ordered right when they opened. The people working there seem really nice.“

“The food is good, but I never understood, I order 4 chicken ? wings and they gave me only 3 instead of 4. When I called them, the lady told me that she gave me 3 instead of 4 because the 3 are the big ones. After 2 weeks, I ordered 2 orders of chicken ? wings again and should be 8 wings, but instead was only 7 wings and I called them again and she told me the same like the previous older, the wings are big. I just don't understand, but anyway the food is good.“

“The BEST Chinese Delivery in the Area.The Food is Very Consistent, and they are never late. Probably the best prices around Too.My #1 go-to for BBQ Spare Rib Tips, BBQ Spare Ribs, and Beef with Broccoli.This spot has been around since I was a Kid, and the Food is.better than I remember !“

“Indo-Chinese food is delicious. Very clean place and nice service. Worth it. Definitely will come next time..“

“We were welcomed and led to our seating by the lovely staff and food arrived on time with lovely presentation. Best thing was all dishes we ordered were prepared fresh and had best taste.
Everything was very well managed here. Definately eating here again.“

“I get it 3-4 times a week. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. The dishes are delicious and wide range of variety to choose from and very inexpensive and high value food.

They always make me feel at home and prepare food the way you like it.

Very highly recommended.“

“I Would Fight a Bear for This Chinese Food

Alright, folks, gather ‘round. I have a story to tell. I recently moved back to Jersey from Florida, and if you’ve ever lived in Florida, you know two things: 1) Alligators will steal your golf balls, and 2) They have no idea how to make good Chinese food. Seriously, I don’t know what’s going on down there, but I’ve had dumplings in Florida that tasted like they had an identity crisis halfway through cooking.

But then, this place happened.

I ordered (purely in the name of science, of course), and I swear on my fortune cookie—I have seen the light.

Let’s break it down:

Pork Fried Rice – Perfectly seasoned, fluffy, with that little hint of wok magic that tells me someone back there knows what they’re doing. This isn’t just rice; this is a lifestyle choice.

10-Piece Crabmeat Rangoons – I took a bite and immediately questioned every life decision that led me to eat subpar rangoons in the past. Crispy? Check. Creamy? Check. So addictive I’d trade my Netflix password for another order? Check.

Chicken and Broccoli – I think it hugged me from the inside. The chicken was tender, the sauce was divine, and the broccoli wasn’t that sad, overcooked mess some places give you. No, this was vibrant, fresh, and ready to be devoured.

Now, here’s the thing—I don’t just like this place. I am now in a full-blown, committed relationship with this restaurant. I will be talking about it at parties. I will be bringing out-of-town guests here like I personally own stock in it. And I will not rest until I have left a five-star review on every single platform known to mankind. Google? Done. Yelp? Already there. Carrier pigeon message straight to their kitchen? Give me time.

In fact, I’m already researching pigeon care because if that’s what it takes to support this mission, then so be it. I will foster a pigeon. I will name it Lo Mein and train it to deliver handwritten praise directly to the chefs.

And to anyone who dares say anything bad about this food—I’m convinced you have burned off all your taste buds. The only possible explanation is that you’ve been eating nothing but plain porridge your entire life and now mistake "flavor" for a personal attack. Seek help. Seek seasoning. Seek this restaurant.

Whoever is back there making this food, just know—I appreciate you. I see you. I love you. Expect me back. Probably too often. Possibly enough to be concerning.

10/10. No notes. Perfection achieved.“

“The best food, comes out hot on time and even if you order apps and dinner all at once you won't get your food all at once or feel like you are being rushed. The atmosphere is great and the service is exceptional!!!! and when you go dine in please look for him he is terrifc especially with the kids!!! we ask for him always!!! hes the best!!!“

“Good food, good prices. Very straight forward. Been eating here for years. They could stand to upgrade the place a bit but I suppose then they'd have to raise the prices so ?. But I'd definitely recommend. I go 2 towns over for their food because no one in my neighborhood can match.“

“It’s rated 5 star in the internet so I order food by phone. It was delivered on time as promised. There’s a little mixed up on my order that they immediately corrected. They don’t argue, accept their fault and send me the right one. Food are great, personnel are courteous, service are excellent. I ordered chicken wings with fried rice, beef with broccoli, tofu with mixed veggies and house special chow mein.“

“Food and service was fantastic“

“Love the sushi!! Excellent.“

“I love this place. Everything here is good and fresh today. I went in there. Just got some soup broth because I’m fasting this time of year. Hot and delicious. I love it. They make great shrimp toast. Also, everything here is good. Fantastic Chinese food place. And the people are always friendly.“

“Growing up in a large city there were many neighborhood options for a quick meal and a family favorite was the local Chinese restaurant. I was happy to find this spot when I moved to Princeton. It is unpretentious, providing familiar and tasty food at fair prices with quick, no-frills but friendly service.“

“I just discovered this location and I've been eating from here everyday ever since. Today I made my order online like I always do and 30 mins later went to get my order, I was told it's not there and I overheard them saying the order was prepared and it seems someone grabbed the order. Now the previous times I went to get my order I was asked the last 4 digits of my phone number, so why did they hand my order over to someone else this time without asking for the last 4 digits of the phone number is very questionable... Anyways other than that, the food was great as always.“

“Great food and portions at reasonable prices. Staff are very polite and nice. In an area where other Chinese restaurants appear to inflate their prices and reduce their plate size, Number One sets itself apart. A real value and a great find.

Vegetarian options: Soup, Dumplings, Tofu and vegetable dishes as well as Mock Gen Tsos Chicken.

Dietary restrictions: I need lower carb options. They substituted Brown rice for white at no charge. Plenty of protein and veggies in their dishes.“

“Good food, varied menu. Friendly staff. A bit overpriced for the portions you get. Recommended: Kimchi calamari w/ spicy mayo, sichuan noodles w/spicy minced pork, Thai style tofu, Shanghai greens w/shallots, Thai curry chicken, beef in hot chili oil and kimchi fried rice w/scallop or salmon“

“Used to be a regular visitor for about 5 years, and now visited after 15 year break!! Food is still good and very polite service. But prices have gone much more than other Chinese places!! Would only consider again if in the area, given there are many others close to my place.“

“Update 3/30/23Ordered lunch today with a coworker. Food was delicious again. I love this place.Little place to food is good and great service all the time. Been eating here for years and never got any bad food nor bad service.Update 8-14-22The owner of this place is always looking for good help. He hires them, they stay a few day, gone!! He and his wife are working so hard everyday and yet still the food I'd delicious as always. I always get good fresh vegetables in in dish I order.Wild waiting for your food, you see how fast and hard they work. I give this place not a 5 but a 10!! Please go check them out today. They maybe a small place, but the food I'd always 100% delicious always. If you know people who need to work, go talk to the owner.“

“This is one of my favorite Chinese places in the area and I order often via door dash but they literally NEVER put any type of sauce in your food packaging. Yesterday I ordered food and selected in the app for them to include sauce and utensils and I had neighbor in my bag & they don’t allow comments on the door dash app. Please start including sauce or I’ll stop ordering and find another place.“

“They have amazing biryanis and authentic flavors. Good selection of vegetarian menu. Chicken 65, Apolo fish and tandoori grill are my favourite dishes in their menu. They take catering orders for small and big events too. Whatever the occasion they serve you with warmth and comfort food. The best Indian food in this Dayton New Jersey area.“

“love to come here on my lunch breaks. the food is always piping hot, it’s ready quickly, it’s delicious, and the woman who works the front counter is so sweet. i totally recommend coming here for lunch any day, you can’t beat their prices“

“Typical hole in the wall restaurant. Food is good, seating is 2 tables and is more for people waiting for take out.

The space is clean and does not smell of hot grease or cooking. Like the old Steak and Shake the entire kitchen is in sight, and almost in reach, of the seating. Much of Chinese cooking is high heat so hot oil smells are typically part of the deal.

Service is prompt and the kitchen is fast. We've tried a number of dishes and I like the rib tips over pork fried rice. The BBQ sauce is well executed. My wife has enjoyed the shrimp in lobster sauce and shrimp with steamed vegetables.

There is a menu and daily specials board. Be sure to look over the specials. Servings are large and I get between 1 and 2 meals.

Plan to take out. Dine in has 2 four-person tables tightly placed just off the path from the door to the counter.

The old joke about bringing your own atmosphere applies.“
