50 Best Chinese Restaurants near River Edge

“I grew up in Fort Lee, where amazing Chinese food is the standard so I don’t say this lightly: Wang’s completely blew me away. I came in with high expectations and left genuinely speechless. Everything from the first bite to the last was perfection.

The flavors were incredibly fresh, balanced, and full of depth, the kind of cooking you can only get from people who truly know and love what they’re doing. The ingredients tasted high-quality, the portions were generous, and the attention to detail was unreal. Even the classics tasted elevated, every dish felt thoughtfully crafted, not just thrown together.

On top of that, the service was warm and attentive without being overbearing, and the atmosphere was inviting and comfortable. You can tell Wang’s takes real pride in what they do, and it shows in every aspect of the experience.

I’ve eaten at some of the best spots around the area and beyond, and this place still managed to blow my expectations out of the water ten times over. If you’re looking for authentic, unforgettable Chinese food, this is it. Wang’s is the real deal.“

“We love Huangs Kitchen! The food is great and the people are the best. Our go to for Chinese take out around River Edge.“

“Tried this place as we were passing through jersey. Food was hot and delicious. Ordered the chicken & broccoli / general toss chicken combo, wonton soup, and chicken chow main combo. All had lots of flavor. Best fried rice i've had. Wish we lived closer. But will deffinetly stop back when were in the area. Thanks for a great meal.“

“The noodles are amazing, and every dish is customizable. I love the scallion ginger, but I've had other flavors too. I ALWAYS get the seitan, it is so good! I think they make the seitan in house, there's something unique about the texture.“

“Everything is good“

“Ate there yesterday for the first time. What a find! The food is excellent, staff is wonderful, pricing is great. I loved how clean everything was. Enjoy!“

“This place is excellent! I love the vibe. I felt so relaxed. The food is very good and the service is even better. My server Eric was very attentive to my needs and served me with a smile. He’s great! I’d highly recommend. I also love their ordering system. You order on a tablet and send the order to the kitchen with the click of a button.“

“I’m impressed by the taste and quality of the food—it’s pretty authentic! The only downside is the music: they’re playing rap Loud in the kitchen and pop in the dining area at the same time. It’s distracting, and I honestly don’t know how the staff can stand it.“

“Had an amazing experience at this PF Changs, our server Greg was extremely attentive and friendly. Love it here! Make sure to get the crab wontons as an app:)“

“This was literally so good and affordable! So many yummy vegetarian protein options, my favorite being tofu skin of course. Spice level 3 is very spicy, I don’t even know how people go up to 4 or 5 (you are brave!). The interior is so sparkly clean and service was 10/10. Recommend !!“

“I really like Lucas Sin, so I was expecting this place to be a little more. My expectations aside, the staff was overworked even after 8:30pm, but they were still courteous. I would say this place would still rank much better than Panda Express (there's one down the street), given that this is kind of like a make-your-own type of place (think Sweetgreen, DIGG, etc.) but with a proper Chinese flair (again, contrast with Panda Express).

I would say that the seating area was a little not well-maintained, but you are served with a bowl used for a take-out anyway, so just take it to a place you feel more comfortable eating.

Vegetarian options: Build-your-own, others are clearly marked on the menu.

Dietary restrictions: Vegan.“

“Food is excellent! Service is great.“

“Fantastic Cantonese food. Like having old-school Mott Street in the neighborhood. Great dim sum, terrific roast meats, and a+ noodle soups.

Update: talk about obscura, they serve seremban siew pau as part of their weekend dim sum! Delicious!“

“LOVE LOVE LOVE OLLIE’s !! The food is always consistently great!! #LoveChineseFood Super friendly staff!!!“

“Affordable and insanely tasty soup dumplings (xiao long bao). The scallion dumplings are a who other level too. Not sure why their overall score is mid. It’s not a high end but isn’t that the point. Mid interior. Staff are helpful and completely on bothered by hoopla over their yummy food. Chow mein and beef with scallions also memorable. Kid friendly.“

“Very fresh, authentic Chinese cuisine. Service was good (slow at first), but friendly and attentive. So glad to have a good Chinese restaurant in the neighborhood!“

“This place is a gem. They are literally the best chinese food I have ever had. I love how the owner really makes you feel like family . He will always remember your face and greet you like his friend. They take thier time to get to know you and ask how you are doing. I have never once had a bad experience and everytime the food taste amazing.“

“This is hands down the best charcoal-style Chinese BBQ skewer spot in the U.S.! We’ve been multiple times and it never disappoints. The meats are always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, and the service is consistently excellent.

Parking can be a bit tricky, but it’s a small inconvenience for such an amazing dining experience—it doesn’t affect my five-star rating at all. Truly a hidden gem. Highly recommend!“

“Great food & service you know it's good when you see Asian familys coming in.“

“I love this Chinese spot, the food is delicious, I drive down this spot to get my fave lunch special even though I have a chinese restaurant near me. It's the sauce for me.

Parking: Lots of parking spot that are free“

“Excellent food and service we love this restaurant“

“This is the best Chinese take out in the area. If I could give 10 stars, I would. Truly authentic Hong Kong style dishes - not too oily/salty. And there are a few chef specials that are hard to find elsewhere too.

You can tell their ingredients are just better, there's healthy options and best of all their prices are so fair for the large portion sizes. Lunch special is only $8.50 for delicious meat & veggies on rice plus a side. It's always fast, They just do it right every time.“

“This has always been my go-to Chinese restaurant, best chicken wings ever! My only problem is the barber shop next door, I believe the Chinese restaurant needs their own

parking: NEW UPDATE: The city should help with the parking and help fix the restaurant, it would be nice, because those Chinese employees work really hard to help the customers, so it would be a nice gesture, I am also glad that they have two days off now, they deserve it...“

“Delicious Peruvian and Chinese food. The service is very attentive.“

“Best restaurant I ever went to! And for those who are complaining about why they don’t deliver to you, it is because their driver only has a bike,they want him to be safe and deliver at the customer’s liking. I recommend the chicken wings,five out of five. The food are not slimy as the other restaurants have. The owner and the manager lady is very nice. The food they made are also made with care and fresh ingredients. I recommend going there. And they do not have a racist towards Hispanics. Hope this helps for those that are looking for a restaurant to eat and for those who think they have a grudges towards someone from a certain country.

Kid-friendliness: They give candies even if it’s not Halloween, they are nice enough to give some of what the kid likes, sometimes.

Wheelchair accessibility: Most restaurants would have chase a wheelchair person out already, not them.They are never an outside looker. They are nice and are not greedy or selfish“

“Our go to Chinese food restaurant. We used to do uber eats, but found that going to pick up is so much less expensive and they are so close to us. Great food and the people there are really nice and trustworthy. Once they made my non-spicy food spicy and told me that next time they would put it in for free. I didn’t believe that they would remember, but didn’t feel like arguing. But next time they remembered! It’s a take out place, not sit and eat. But my family loves to rot food.“

“Great cheap eats here, I and my girl went on a lunch date and she had about 3 plates and she eats but not that much so I knew the food was good, I had about 3 full plates myself, 15$ each and it's completely worth it. The space is a little tight but seating is comfortable enough to enjoy your meal and time.“

“Been coming here for atleast 30 years. But since the young lady left, which has been here for atleast 25 years. Not how it used to be. The only chinese food i eat is from them. Best to call and place order. They are always crowded

Parking: Very narrow street. Always have to double park“

“Excellent, excellent place. We always go when in the area. Well run restaurant served by the incredibly nice owners - very authentic food. Delicious soup dumplings, fried dumplings and one of the most delicious Asian meals I’ve ever tried - the Shanghai noodles (with beef and bok Choy) - bursting with smoky flavor. I also really like the string beans with pork and the eggplant dish. They also have hot pot soups - you pick all the ingredients and it loos good but didn’t try. Very affordable place as well. And they have outdoor seating. And parking. Can’t go wrong.“

“I like this place better than the old place. The girls in here are crazy fun and they’re comfortable to deal with. They don’t have bad attitudes and they’re very sweet. Nice I deal with them all the time pleasant to deal with And the pretty girls are nice to deal with I like them actually“

“I've lived in Fair Lawn my whole life and never visited up until a couple months ago. I went to a place in Saddle Brook which is also great. But that place was closed on a Monday so I came to Great Wall. Very happy. Reasonably priced and delicious. NOT SALTY! I can't tell you the difference in the quality of food. The owner is such a sweet person too. Always smiling and thank you. Give it a try!!!“

“Excellent Northeastern Chinese food, (not like any from your typical Chinese restaurant.) A great variety of food, including home made dumplings, BBQ skewers, eggplants, pork, beef, packed with flavor and spice . All the dishes were served hot and well prepared. The owner/manager was very friendly, welcoming and made great recommendations. All 9 of us were extremely happy with our orders.“

“I love eating the plant base food with so much flavor, their juices are amazing!“

“Their food is consistently great. We literally won't order from anywhere else. The staff is helpful and efficient. Highly recommend. There's no rating for atmosphere, because it's a take out place.“

“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!!“

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting your local business, and the experience was outstanding. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring I felt valued from the moment I walked in. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the products offered. The quality of the goods was exceptional, clearly crafted with care and attention to detail. Overall, it was a delightful experience that I would highly recommend to others.“

“This Chinese restaurant is the only place in bronx I would order food from always fresh place cleani used to live in projects not to far from it and even after I moved to Bedford park I still make my way here for my food and the workers here very polite and respectable“

“Hands down one of the best spots in Harlem. The Handpulled Noodle never misses — the noodles are fresh, chewy, and made right in front of you. Every bowl feels like a warm hug with serious flavor and spice that hits just right.

The lamb cumin noodles? Unreal. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the staff keeps things moving with great energy. Whether you dine in or take it to go, it’s always hot, flavorful, and made with care.

This place is a true Harlem gem — comfort food, culture, and craft all in one bowl. 10/10 recommend.“

“We were in the area and wanted some Chinese food, so we looked around the area and saw that this was one of the higher-rated places. I also noticed that they only take cash and do phone orders. We called on the phone, placed our order, then made our way over. We paid in cash and got the food. I ordered the boneless spare ribs combination platter, which comes with a roast pork egg roll and roast pork fried rice. We also got a small wonton soup. The boneless spare ribs were really good, striking a good balance between the sweet and savory that boneless spare ribs typically have. The roast pork egg roll was delicious and savory. Everything else, though, was not as good. The roast pork fried rice was pretty bland, as were the wontons and the broth that the wontons came with. For the price, though, it was reasonable, so I am not too upset.“

“Best Chinese food in the neighborhood! Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu wrong tastes amazing. Super affordable prices too. Can only which is kind of a bummer but definitely worth it. You definitely need to try it out if you haven’t done so already.“

“Wonderful food. Soup is amazing. Service is great and the menu is huge“

“Zheng helped me place a big catering order for my Law Firm’s lunch, she has the MOST patience in the world. She made it easy for me to place my order, kept in contact and even answers the phone * we all know how rare this is* she is the best. I highly recommend. This is our new favorite restaurant! Xoxo Zheng“

“I’ve literally grown up eating at this Chinese Restaurant, Love It! THEE BEST POPCORN CHICKEN IN THE WORLD. If Your a true New Yorkers you’ll know some of the best food ever comes from the ‘whole in a wall’ spot’s/places. Will always recommend here.

Parking: We double park and hop out, what more can I say..“

“I’ve been coming here from when I used to go to Tenafly Middle school. This place was my go to for after school snack.
Price is still amazing for lunch deals around $8~$12, portions are generous, and ultimately foods are great.
It’s been more than 10 years but I’ll still come to Tenafly just for Good Taste general chicken tsp combo.
Highly recommended.“

“Was nearby and needed lunch and was in the mood for Chinese and saw the reviews on this place and decided to give it a try. Asked for special order of Beef and Broccoli with garlic sauce, no problem attitude! Food was great and ready in no time! Would come back for sure.“

“I used to come here years ago when I lived in the area... Went back after about 8 years and man was the food still delicious. Still got stickey rip tips with bbq, the chicharron de pollo with the black garlic sauce is just great!Not to mention the pork fried rice and general tso's chicken was also very delicious.Thank you foohing for the great food.“

“Great food! Great atmosphere and great view of the city!“

“DO NOT order food from any other chinese restaurant other than CHINESE GOURMET. The workers are extremely friendly and courteous, literally. Their food is DELICIOUS with the urge of wanting more. Their prices are reasonable and trust me, you get a lot for your buck.
Chinese Gourmet is definitely my favorite restaurant when it comes to chinese food. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is not wheelchair accessible, but their service is wheelchair accessible. The workers will literally come outside to greet and assist you, take your order(if you choose not to come in), and bring your food out for you. Their extremely friendly and compassionate.“

“Hands down the best Chinese food in the area. There isn't anywhere to sit and they only take cash, but everything they make is A1. I've had their chicken and broccoli with vegetable fried rice, they use a lot of different fresh vegetables, General Tso chicken is always crispy and spicy, their half chicken is really good too, and their prices are great“

“Great coffee and service. ☕️“
