50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Rahway

“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.“

“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!“

“Very surprisingly good experience.

Ordered delivery from here, wanted to try a bit of everything as I am new to the area and everyone needs a go-to Chinese food spot.

Some of the best fried chicken I've ever had, great portions on the combination platters. One of the very rare cheap Chinese food spots that actually puts real smoked pork in the pork fried rice.“

“A new owner has taken over but the food is still good. I wish the crab rangoon was still whole not shaped like dumplings but they're still good. Food is always on point. I gave 4 stars for service because for the life of me I never get utensils in my bag. There's never a fork in there. You shouldn't have to ask. Other than that I'm still a loyal customer.“

“I only ordered one time and I was satisfied. I have ordered from other nearby restaurants and they cant compared to this one. I wont get much into details but as a foodie and an avid cook ; It is recommended. This restaurant has good food.

Kid-friendliness: The delivery guy was very cordial.“

“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“

“Rich and flavorful broth! Great sides!

Wow! Firstly, very lovely first impression walking in and being seated. I am a big fan of the robin-egg colored tableware and the Miniso Dundun chicken timers lol. The place felt very clean and fresh, upon arriving.

Food:
The broth was extremely rich and flavorful! Genuinely tasted like it was prepared for a long time (10 hours) just like they advertise! It tasted very savory and it pairs well with the chicken and the other sides! The fish maw white fungus, chinese yam, pumpkin, and hand pulled noodles were all very fresh and high quality. I personally loved how chewy the noodles were after cooking it!

Our order was 2 servings it felt like a reasonable price. Definitely satisfied with the portion size given that we felt pretty full afterwards.

Service felt very welcoming and friendly.

I would totally recommend giving this place a try!“

“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!“

“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.“

“I highly recommend Ugly Dumpling because of the delicious and affordable food options they have. Excellent customer service received from Gregory D!! He is absolutely an amazing server!! We will be coming back for more!! Awesome ambiance, beautiful decors, hip music and amazing servers. I also would like to give extra thanks to Miller... Overall, we are so happy with the whole experience!! 5 stars out of 5!!“

“This was amazing food! The spice level was just right!! We came here once and just had to come back because of how amazing it was! Just amazing. The taste of pickled claws and smashed cucumber is unforgettable ,Good proportions. Great food.“

“Great food. The sampler dumplings are awesome.“

“Mongolian bbq isn’t my favorite food. After the “pan” cooked a few dishes, they all taste similar as it picked up previous dishes’ flavor.

The service was good. The waitress was friendly and helpful.

The sticky rice shumai was fine.

There’re plenty selection for the dish and sufficient sauces.“

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

“I was looking for a good spot to get Chinese food, after a not so great experience elsewhere in the area. Stuck to the basics and ordered Sesame chicken, egg roll, and egg drop soup and was pleasantly suprised. From other places I'd order sesame chicken and it felt heavy with so much sauce. The chicken here was great quality wise, and everything I ordered was spot on. I want to add that the staff was very friendly. I'll definitely be coming back soon.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Foods were deliciously good! I had a bone-in beef ribs noodles. Beef was super duper tender. My husband's noodles (I can't remember the name) was very flavorful too and plant based. If you're vegan, i think you need to let them know if you don't want the half egg. Chicken dumplings were good too, flavorful and very comforting. Waitress was very nice, very attentive, he was helping me with my to-go and that was the first time for me to experienced that since I came to US. Price was reasonable. The place was nice too. Overall it was great and would definitely come again.“

“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.“

“Delicious menu, centrally located with friendly staff.“

“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.“

“I live in Roselle Park. first time ordering from Lin's garden I had fried dumplings and a combination of beef and broccoli something simple but yeah very good I have to say I would definitely recommend this place nice flavoring and decent pricing.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“I cannot recommend Dao Madison enough – especially for their gluten free options!

Most of their menu can be made gluten free and my gluten-eating fiancée couldn’t tell the difference! The food came out HOT and quickly!

Every detail was considered in our service. Each employee we interacted with was friendly and knowledgeable. The restaurant was beautifully decorated and impeccably clean! We were served a jasmine tea before our meal and our water glasses never got below half a glass before they were refilled. We cannot wait to go back!“

“Very happy with the service and friendliness this establishment offers. The food is always on point and pleasantly consistent. General Tso, Boneless spare ribs are extremely good to name a couple of my favorites. All in all you can’t go wrong. Highly recommend.“

“Here's a great review for you guys. I'm not one to EVER reheat Chinese food the next day...or ever. My husband ordered from here for him and the kids while I was at work this past weekend. Not only did I reheat it after work and it was delicious, but I ate it for lunch the next day, too, and still really good. I think this was the first time I reheated Chinese food in about twenty yrs lol. Will order again,thanks.“

“Love this place, been there 3 times. The lady server is always very accommodating and sweet to my son and us. Food is always tasty and fresh. My son loves the food here. Is a small place but thats the charm.

Parking: There plenty of parking around“

“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.“

“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)“

“Way better than other places in Hillside. Great service never rude or nasty at all very pleasant!! Good service goes a long way!!“

“Food is good and reasonably priced. NOTE: Their website was hacked and they have not been able to get control of it back. If you order on their website it is a 3rd party that delivers and charges add’l delivery fees. It happened to me a few weeks ago and when I called the restaurant they explained what’s been happening. Call to order instead of online“

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

“Good food and convenient location near Middlesex campus. Great when on break between classes or heading home. Food is cheap and still very delicious not overly salty or greasy. I had the sweet and sour chicken it was well-battered and served quickly“

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

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

“Come for the food, you won’t regret it. Sichuan food at its finest, this is not your typical American style Chinese food. Parking is difficult but there’s street parking nearby. Haven’t had Sichuan food this good outside of Flushing, Queens. Mapo Tofu, lamb cumin, and cold tripe/meat appetizer are 🔝⭐️“

“I rarely eat Chinese food and I choose this restaurant when I have to eat. When I tasted the food, I was surprised by the taste, which gave me a new understanding of this cuisine. Quick pick up and very kind service. Pricing is very reasonable for the amount of food that you get.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“I’ve been coming here since I was a kid. And for over 15 years they have never done me dirty. Their wings are so good and such a good portion. Their vegetable low mein is so filling and their prices are so reasonable. They are always so kind too. I recommended this spot and everyone who tried it loves it“

“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.“

“It's great-tasting, well-made Chinese food. By well-made I mean you're NOT going to receive food that's drowned in grease, or all mushy like it's been sitting in a steam table for hours.They have a great selection of different styles. All the standard stuff, plus Szechuan and Cantonese specialties. The prices are reasonable. Staff is very nice. I love that when I order delivery, the driver is from the restaurant, not some internet service.I used to think I'd never find good Chinese food in this area, until I tried Hop Hing. Now I wouldn't go anywhere else.“

“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.“
