Noodles near Ridgewood, NJ

“If you are looking for a fancy dining experience, this is not the place, but if you want exceptional Chinese food, you've hit the jackpot. Think of Chinatown, not Ridgewood. Prepared from scratch, not quick, but with a touch of love. This tiny establishment has the standard fare and some twists on the originals that will make your taste buds dance. Pork dumplings become Mom's Dumplings with the insertion of a giant shrimp and an amazing homemade dipping sauce. Mangos are often added to many dishes for a change of flavor. Not spicy enough, ask Sherry to give it a boost, or the opposite, tamp it down a bit. Have you ever had lamb Chinese style? or one of many other specialties. The place has gotten a bad wrap from impatient patrons. Good food takes time to prepare, and fresh ingredients are not cheap. When we have company from out of the area, this is their requested restaurant. We have ordered food for one up to a catered meal for 100, always delish.“

“Absolutely delicious food and very friendly service! We will definitely go back to try more dishes.“

“Nice welcoming and great warm service! We love authentic Korean foods and all customers were Korean except us. Noodles was little too soft but other than that we enjoyed our meal. Definitely we will return!

The best service ever. Thank you“

“I absolutely love this place. The Pho here is seriously the best pho I’ve ever had. It’s extremely flavorful, the noodles always come out perfectly soft and the meat perfectly cooked. They have sauces at the table available like Sriracha , Hoisin Sauce and a Homemade Chili sauce. Their spring rolls are very refreshing and pairs deliciously with their peanut sauce. Their fried spring rolls are also super amazing, always come out hot and delicious which also pair nicely with the fish sauce they serve it with. Their Jasmine Boba Tea is to dieeee for, as well as their Avocado Shakes. I also recommend the bowl that comes with BBQ Pork, salad and Vermicelli noodles. The service is always quick and their servers are super kind. I believe the older couple who is always there are the owners and they are absolute sweethearts. I genuinely love coming here, I visit the place at least once a week on weekends. Check this place out and you won’t regret it!“

“I have not dined in yet, because I like to eat at home, so I can say these dumplings and buns travel very well. I love the pork and scallion dumplings, and the noodle dishes are so refreshing. I can't help but order tanghulu every time as well for a sweet refreshing crunchy dessert, and every drink I've had has been so good! Love the fruity teas, herbals teas, and creamy drinks. Every drink I've had tasted very good and I wish I ordered 2 at a time. I hope they stay forever and their business is good, I'm very happy with this neighborhood dumpling spot“

“Star Sushi was a really pleasant surprise. From the moment we sat down, the place felt welcoming and comfortable, and the staff had that good mix of being friendly without hovering. The whole experience had a calm, easy pace, which made it enjoyable right from the start.

The sushi itself was excellent. Everything looked fresh and put together with care, and the flavors were well-balanced instead of feeling heavy or overly seasoned. Each bite had that clean, satisfying taste you want from sushi—nothing felt bland, and nothing tasted like it had been sitting around too long. The rolls were solid and filling, with nice textures and a good mix of ingredients.

What also stood out was how smooth the service was. The timing was right, the order came out neatly, and it felt like they actually pay attention to the details. Even though it was busy, it didn’t feel chaotic.

Overall, Star Sushi is a great go-to for anyone craving well-made sushi with a nice atmosphere and genuinely helpful service. It’s the kind of spot you leave thinking, “We should come back here again soon.”“

“We got a sushi platter on NYE and it was great. All good rolls, fresh and delicious. Would definitely recommend it!“

“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 ⭐️🫶🏻👏🏻“

“Excellent food. Fantastic service!“

“This was an impromptu idea for dinner. This is hands down the best Asian food I've had since living in LA! This can compete with any restaurant in Manhattan! And the prices are so low! I can't wait to come back!!“

“Excellent food and service we love this restaurant“

“My family has enjoyed Nakahara for several years and it’s always fantastic. The fish is very fresh, the atmosphere is clean and cozy with gentle jazz in the background and the service is attentive and friendly. There are many sushi options in the area, but this is one of a kind!“

“The friendliest in New Jersey and most visited by You Tubers, the Galbitang and cold noodles NANGMEUN are the best in A MERICA“

“I tried 2 combo meals:

The General Tso's Chicken was really good! (I asked for extra spicy and compared to other places where they miss the mark, this place actually made it spicy!!) Love it!

The Chicken with Broccoli with garlic sauce was not too bad. I do love how tender and properly cooked the chicken turned out....but the garlic sauce seemed more on the bland side. Was lacking the garlic flavor.

Both egg rolls that came with the combos were alright. Lacked the crunch I usually expect but was a nice big portion.

I will definitely come back to try other dishes.“

“I had an amazing experience at Khao Thai! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff made me feel genuinely welcomed. The service was quick, attentive, and super friendly throughout the entire meal.

The food was absolutely incredible—everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. You can really tell they use high-quality ingredients and put care into every dish. The portion sizes were great, and every bite was packed with authentic Thai flavor.

This is easily one of the best spots in Englewood for Thai food. Whether you’re going for a casual dinner or taking friends out, Khao Thai never disappoints. I’ll definitely be coming back again soon!“

“Their foods are delicious.
Only thing I don't like is their take containers. They keep using black containers which most food related places not using anymore since recent research found the black plastic containers is not safe for food and eventually not good for human health.“
