50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Pompton Lakes

“In my continued quest to find a New York style Chinese restaurant, based on recommendations from neighbors, I tried this restaurant. I ordered online at their website which was fairly easy to do. Being a bargain hunter I couldn’t resist the family dinner for six. It came with six egg rolls, six chicken on sticks, six cheese wontons, 2 quarts of soup, two quarts of fried rice, and choice of three entrees. It came with all of the appropriate sauces, crispy noodles, etc. The delivery was promised in 55 minutes and the food arrived exactly on-time. The egg rolls were crispy and very good. The chicken on the stick was very moist and tasty. The wonton soup was tasty and very traditional. The cheese wontons were a very nice starter and the dipping sauce added nice sweetness. For entrees we had sesame chicken which got a thumbs up from my wife. I ordered roast pork lo mein which was also a thumb up. I struggled deciding on a third entree and finally gave in to honey chicken (not my personal favorite because of the thick coating batter). Overall, a very competent dinner. I’m glad the food was really good because we’ll be eating the leftovers for many days!“

“Wife and I just bought our first Home and have been searching for the best Chinese food store with the best tasting food. Everything is properly seasoned food is always hot and the portions are great. Also other Chinese food in the area use a weird type of Rice which is disgusting but Golden Garden’s fried rice is to die for. The price is awesome for the quality of food we received. Thank God we Found our Favorite take out spot makes us feel Like we’re back in New York City.

Parking: Right in front of the store for easy Access“

“Excellent food and service we love this restaurant“

“Good food at very affordable pricing. BYOB Attentive staff. Good parking. Scenic views.“

“My family and I come here all the time for large family gatherings. The food is absolutely phenomenal here, especially the pecking duck buns and sweet and sour pork. We also love the soy sea bass, crispy chicken, ginger scallion lobster, pork chops and corn egg drop soup. One time we brought them king crab legs to cook and they cooked all of our king crab legs to perfection!! I don’t usually write google reviews but this place is so special to me and my family and adore this spot. The service is so fast and attentive and they are kind enough to provide free dessert whether that be fresh oranges, fresh fruit or even sometimes sweet red bean soup! Please consider coming here and supporting them! They’re so deserving, hardworking and kind!!“

“We used them to cater a party for us this past weekend. Food came right when it was schdualed for delivery. All came hot and fresh. Could not have been happier with hoe it turned out. Will use again. Owner was very easy work with and made the process easy.“

“Eerie feeling today, new people running it I noticed, young man taking orders and working the register. Another man watching his every move. Nobody in the kitchen working. No beehive of activity and very quiet. Loved this place with happy previous owners. New owners???“

“Very good take-out Chinese food option for the area. Food is hot and cooked well, with a variety that is typical of Chinese take-out. We enjoyed their fried rice, orange chicken, and steamed chicken with broccoli. The fried dumplings were on the oily side, so we’ll probably get them steamed for our next order. Prices have remained reasonable over the years.“

“Came here for lunch, they have a lunch special Monday-Saturday 11am-3pm. I had the general Tso chicken. Overall my food was good. It was spicy, fresh, and flavorful. The restaurant is clean and tidy, although, they should make it look prettier with some Chinese decor. Food was served fast. No complaints or issues. I would recommend this restaurant.“

“This place should have more stars than it does! We ALWAYS have a great experience at Ringwood Chinese, switched from Ho King in Pompton. Great prices, nice portions..food is not too greasy, and always a good delivery experience. 5 stars from someone who's picky about chinese food!“

“ok To some extend the lady at the front taking order she is always smiling and treating their customers like a 5 star restaurant on top of that the food its so fresh and delicious trust me when i said these food its so different than others... great job !!!!!!“

“The girl was pretty polite on phone , she even made sure that I am in calling for the right place. Had ordered a small chicken soup and chicken fried rice . Food was really good. For sure I will recommend this place. One extra star for hospitality as well.“

“Always nice on phone and in person.Delivery is excellent. I tell them no hurry as I am not in a rush, and don't want to stress them since they work so hard, but food is always on time. Portions are generous and delicious. They cater to my vegetarian meal requests by replacing meats with bean curd,etc.“

“Good service. Dim sum is average in NYC metro area, shock-free, nothing particularly exciting or unacceptable, variety of the options with fair price. Serving the dim sum on the carts is authentic. Service is 5 stars following the Cantonese tradition, such as replacing the dirty plates by a new one.“

“Went there for lunch and ordered a sesame chicken meal and paid about $10, but boy was it worth it! The food was good and the meal came with an egg roll plus pork fried rice and really filled me up. 10/10 would definitely eat here again.

Kid-friendliness: Has Lego decorations that kids might enjoy.“

“The food at this Chinese restaurant is super good. I recently moved to Fairfield and needed to find a good spot for Chinese takeout out. So, I tried joy wok. I ordered sesame chicken combo and the Mongolian beef. They were both super good. I don’t normally like my sesame chicken a little spicy and they made it just right for me.
The customer service is also great. I had accidentally ordered white rice with the Mongolian beef and when I picked up my order they switched it to fried rice right away with no extra charge. Everyone there is super nice. Definitely recommend if you are in the area in search of a good Chinese spot.“

“When our family have a meeting, we order Chinese-Peruvian food from this restaurant. Always enjoy the art of mixture between Chinese and Peruvian flavors. They made the best Wantan Soup, Arroz Chaufa and many other delicatessen plates, include family size to pick up. And of course, we are Peruvians!!“

“The staff are pleasant and the quality of the food is wonderful! They give you generous portions for a reasonable price! Moreover, they provide fast delivery. This establishment is my go to for Chinese cuisine!“

“My friend recommended this place to me, having visited it 6 times in half a year! It’s really hard to find such a great seafood restaurant in the middle of New Jersey, where dining options are quite limited. I was surprised to find a place like this here, as it feels like the quality belongs somewhere in Manhattan. If this restaurant were in the city, it could easily rival Michelin-starred restaurants!

No joke, we ordered some of the most common dishes, but the quality was outstanding. When my cousin and I arrived, we couldn’t believe the prices—only $16 for fresh seafood! I initially thought that price was just for a small portion, so we ended up ordering a lot of food, and the total was just $120!

Fish Dumplings 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Who would have thought you could find such authentic fish dumplings in the U.S.? The fish filling is bouncy and fresh. It’s delicious even without dipping it in vinegar.

Lamb Soup 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Honestly, this is the best lamb soup I’ve ever had in the U.S. It has a distinct lamb flavor but isn’t overwhelming. It’s just fresh and light, not too strong. The first time we had it, the two of us finished a whole big bowl along with a plate of spicy crayfish

Steamed Egg with Clams 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
No one can resist the soft, fresh taste of steamed egg. With the clams and a special soy sauce, the flavor is refreshing and pairs perfectly with golden pancakes. It’s a must-try!

Stir-fried Shrimp with Soy Sauce and Chili 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This is my absolute favorite! It’s made with soy sauce, onions, and dried chili, and the aroma from the stir-fry is incredible. The highlight is the fresh taste of the shrimp. Unfortunately, this dish is out of season right now, so it’s not available.

Salted Egg Yolk Prawns 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
A must-order dish! The prawn meat is so fresh, tender, and juicy. The prawns are lightly fried, stuffed with salted egg yolk, and the outside is crispy. The aroma is irresistible!

Black Fish in Iron Pot / Fish with Golden Pancakes 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Fish is usually seasonal, but this place deep-fries the fish and then braises it in a rich sauce, which is just perfect. The golden pancakes are fried crispy on the outside but remain soft on the inside, perfect for soaking up the sauce.

Stir-fried Cabbage with Shrimp 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This is a highly recommended dish by my cousin. Nearly every table orders this. The fresh shrimp and cabbage are stir-fried to perfection with a fragrant oil. I once packed this dish for a colleague from Qingdao, and she raved about it all the way home!

Honestly, I would take an Uber to come here 6 times in half a month—this place is truly a hidden gem!

Parking: They have free parking in front of

Kid-friendliness: The stuffs are really nice to kids , and kids enjoy the food !“

“I usually don't eat New Jersey Chinese food. Nyc has better, but win wah is up there with nyc Chinese food. Looks are deceiving to say the least. From the outside you'd think to yourself. Man! I wouldn't drink a can of soda from this place lol. But they say that the worse the Chinese place looks from the outside, the better it is. True story here“

“This place been open since before I was born 31.5 years ago! I’ve been eating here literally my entire life! By far THE best Chinese food in all of Paterson, perhaps even all of NJ, I may be pushing it but probably the best food in all the world! Love these guys.“

“Hands down best chinese food in the area. Everything is fresh and high quality. Delivery is always on time and most importantly the service is great. In all my time ordering here (about 2 years) they have always gotten my order right the first time. No business is perfect, but DB Chinese is as close as it gets.“

“Honestly, I wasn't expecting much since the price was comparatively low but was surprised by the taste and quality. This was a delivery order, and all the items I ordered were packed well and tasted really good. Would definitely order again.“

“This food is the closest to NY Chinese food Ive ever experienced since moving to NJ 18 yrs ago. no more asking for pork fried rice & receiving orange rice with nothing in it, fried wontons are fried, MSG. yum yum-everything Ive ordered is delicious. I have never had a bad experience with this restaurant?“

“I have been ordering from here since I moved to Hawthorne 2 years ago and food was delicious. However, tonight I had to throw my egg foo yung dinner out as it was loaded with sodium. I called and was told I need to tell them next time to put sauce on side. I hope that my next order will be on the house and taste delicioius.😗“

“The best in town, my family goes nowhere else for Chinese. The Lady at the front desk is always kind, polite, and happy! Pick-up is the way to go, the interior is a bit small, but charming and nostalgic. Combo meals are unmatched, and the value is second to none. In 20 years they’ve never got our order wrong. ❣️“

“Food is delicious, fresh and hot every time. The food is definitely made in clean pans and oil and the taste reflects that. Not overly salty. We’ve ordered Lo mein, steamed dumplings, chicken with garlic sauce, general tsos chicken, chicken with broccoli and pork fried rice. Five star review every time, this is our third time ordering and the new Chinese place for us in the indefinite future. Fast delivery usually. I recommend Calling them versus using seamless app. Nice customer service taking order over the phone.“

“Goody Chinese Take-Out is my absolute favorite spot for Chinese food! Their rotisserie chicken is out of this world. The flavors are insane - perfectly seasoned, crispy skin, and tender meat. It's like a flavor explosion in your mouth! The chicken is so addictive, I find myself craving it all the time. And let me tell you, the dipping sauce they serve with it is a game-changer. The staff is super friendly too. If you're a fan of Chinese cuisine, you've got to try Goody's rotisserie chicken. It'll leave you wanting more!“

“I occasionally do Doordash food delivery in the Hackensack area and sometimes deliver it nearby. Then I order takeout from this store. I feel that their service is very good and the food is cooked quickly. I also like their food, especially the fried chicken wings and chicken noodles. I will come back thank you

Parking: very convenient“

“Food is good as always,one of my favorite Chinese restaurants!!!“

“So to be honest the food is so GOOOD LIKE AMAZING because the egg roll is so delicious and the fired chicken it so gooodd i would recommend the egg roll and fired chicken but the only that made me confused was the floor the floor was a mess and the wall is super dirty. And also is flys too and they prices are kinda high but overall they food is so amazing so I give it a 3.9 I just wouldn’t recommend dining in but overall they food is so amazing and delicious but the table was dirty so we had to clean it up but the food is good hot n fresh“

“I had the best ever hot and sour soup from here! I’ve had this soup from many different Chinese restaurants before and this restaurant has the best I’ve eaten so far. Love the flavor and the beautiful pieces of mushrooms, it’s delicious! Definitely recommend. The chicken lo mein was very good too, but I wish there was a little bit more chicken in there. Overall I really liked my food and I’m excited to enjoy the hot and sour soup again.“

“It's a basic Chinese food menu. Enough tables for eating in though they seem to do a large takeout business. I'm becoming a regular. Good food and they're nice.

Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options of course.“

“This place is my first choice restaurant. Of all restaurants I know I favor it most. I always suggests to my friends to go to visit this restaurant. when I feel like having a special lunchon, this place comes first to my head. good and many types of food and a large menu.well mannered team, and pleasant vibes. Not less important, the price is decent. I recommend this place with pleasure.“

“Lived next door to here for 2 years and went at least twice a week. Some of the best fried rice I have ever had. I was in England for 7 months and every time I got Chinese there I would cry remembering this place. 😭 they’re really good and the employees are so nice. I can’t wait to eat here again and refresh my body from the uk Chinese torture lol they can’t compare to Ashia!!!!“

“Love this place!! Food is excellent, great menu and wonderful service. I eat there at least once a week. Usually take out but I have dined in before.

Dietary restrictions: They are flexible with orders, switching sauces, extra shrimp, etc.“

“Everything I have ever tried at Yuki has been amazing. The restaurant is super clean and the staff are so friendly and professional. I can’t wait to come again!“

“I used to live close to the place. I moved a couple years ago & it’s all i think about!!! The prices were great the food even better. Great lunch specials. Friendly service… always gave free sodas with our large orders. Fantastic!!! I can’t wait to visit!!“

“My husband and I have been going to this place since we moved to Ringwood 11 years ago. We get it almost every Friday and the staff is great.The food has gotten really spicy though, so I would recommend mentioning on the phone if you don’t want it overly spicy.“

“Update:
Right aftet posting thiw the owner called me directly and as i assumed, they had begun using an answering service that has been providing terrible service. She went out of her way to even try to provide a free lunch which I refused (because I appreciated the effort in valuing my loyalty and i would never take money out of her hand for poor service from a third party).

I will continue to go back to Spring Garden as I value a business that places value on their customers.

Revising my 2 stare to 5. Food is just to damn good to pass up!

Oringal reponse:
I've been ordering from spring garden for over 5 years. I love the owner and the food is amazing but ever since they have been using the new people answering the phone, I cannot get a simple order of steam chicken with broccoli, pork fried rice and wonton soup. Today I was told this common order that I have order for years is not offered ok the menu.

I have had it with this place and the pain I have had placing a simple order.

They have not lost a long time customer as I will jo longer call and deal with the incompetence.“

“Looking for a change in ordering Chinese food and was very happy with this restaurant. Their hot and sour soup was so flavorful. Just the right amount of hot and seasoned perfectly. The chicken chow mein was delicious with lots of chicken and a wonderful sauce. The pork fried rice also was nicely prepared with excellent flavors. Even their egg rolls were nice and crispy without being greasy. Will be adding the China Pavilion to our list of takeout locations.“

“Been coming here for years! Delicious food at great prices. Love the general tso’s chicken and chicken and broccoli. The wonton soup is also a family favorite - perfect every time and not greasy at all! Perfect neighborhood spot and tastes exactly how you want your neighborhood Chinese takeout to be!“

“Excellent! Our family orders from the local restaurant regularly & the food is really delicious. Traditional Chinese I would say.Just had the soup, egg roll, General Choi’s chicken & my wife had meal with a delicious creamy shrimp in it…Fast delivery & other delicious choices. We have never eaten at the place so I have to be neutral but for delivery & take out I’d give it an 8.5…Reasonably priced…“
