47 Best Chinese Restaurants near Riverdale

“It was tough to rate this restaurant fairly. 1 reviewer said authentic Chinese, best he had un 50 years. NO, then he has not had authentic chinese. It is Americanized Chinese food, and I have been to China. Now for Amer. Chinese food, the scallion pancakes were bad, doughy not crunchy at all, a 1 star. The basil beef was pretty decent, with enough basil and flavors, although my medium spice was more mild, but that is very subjective at each restaurant. The important thing is that the base dish was flavorful, a 3.5 to 4 star. HnS soup was a 3 star. Pretty std for American Chinese HnS soup. Important question: Would I go back? If it was more local, yes, I would probably have this as my std place. But with a 20-minute drive, I can go elsewhere.“

“Passed on way going to a local furniture store. Didn’t know buffets were still open. Glad I stopped in. It was lunch time. Was pretty busy $12.99 buffet sushi 🍣 & hibachi included. Didn’t tell you $3 for unlimited soda but was ok. Food was hot and fresh. And you had to find something you liked. I tried hibachi after a few plates later. Was awesome. No more self serve ice cream. They had ice cream bars & cups as well in a freezer. If in area. STOP 🛑 BY YOU won’t be disappointed. Flaming grill & supreme buffet“

“Great service and fabulous food“

“Stopped in while my son was at soccer practice on a whim last night and was blown away by the food and the amazingly friendly staff. The noodles were out of this world!! Prices were very reasonable esp in this economy. Will definitely be returning.“

“What great food! I love spicy, and China 23 will adjust spiciness, to my taste! Great staff, good prices, and speedy delivery. Bravo!“

“Excellent food and service we love this restaurant“

“I have lived in town for about 6 years. We found this restaurant online and gave it a try. We ordered the pineapple and chicken fried rice, a dish called Phoenix, and the General Tso's Shrimp. Each dish was excellent and the staff was warm and friendly. Will continue to buy food from here!!!!HOT AND SOUR SOUP WONDERFUL!!! GOOD FOR COLDS!!!!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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???“

“I was there earlier today with a group of friends for the Christmas special Bengali Food Festival. We were quite impressed by the menu selection. The food was not oily& spicy at all,hence even the kids enjoyed the food. The service was good. I wish the restaurant would be more spacious. Other than that I would highly recommend this place.“

“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!“

“Been going to this place for many years and can't believe I have never reviewed it before. One of the best Chinese restaurants in the area. We have tried quite a few but always come back to China City. The food is fresh and tasty, portions are large and orders are ready when they tell you. Family that runs it is wonderful. They were closed during a good portion of Covid and we struggled to find an acceptable replacement. Judging by the lines out their door when they reopened many other people thought the same.“

“Great place for dim sum. They have a wide variety of classics (like egg tart, chicken feet, fried pork buns, etc) and non-classics (like clams, shrimp, crab, mango sago, etc). Their prices range from $4.50 for a small dim sum to $12 for “chef” dim sum.

The service is fast. We came during brunch hours on a Sunday and even though there was a lot of people, we were instantly seated. And as soon as we got a table, the dim sum carts swung by right away. The servers can be a bit aggressive in insisting you take certain dishes (by placing them on the table before you’ve agreed to them), but as long as you say no they’ll take them away.

The inside is your typical Chinese dim sum restaurants with round tables and many dim sum carts running around.

The bathroom is clean and large with multiple stalls. It looks relatively new.

We parked in the lot outside and had no trouble finding parking.

There doesn’t seem to be good reception for AT&T here so we had some trouble navigating away after eating here.

Prices:

“Wow wow , I have 8 years in New Jersey and this is the best sushi I have ever tried since I came to USA 🇺🇸.

I ordered the combo 2 rolls and soup.

I got some extra bites from the house, thank you so much !“

“I enjoyed my lunch here - the scallion pancakes were really tasty! The fried rice was a little underwhelming, but all in all the meal was tasty. I would recommend as a quick lunch spot or you can order ahead like me! Side note - the guy working the front was very kind :)

Vegetarian options: Plenty veggie options to pick from“

“It was a baby shower hosted by the parents of the first time mother. The menu chosen by the father was selecting 90 percent of the delicious dim sum on themenu. We had every dish commonly enjoyed by families.

There were 30 tables with many young children all enjoying the food and the occasion. It was a wonderful celebration for new life, a new baby for expecting parents, grandparents, and family members and friends. The food, service, and the general happiness of the attending members was memorable.“

“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 !!!!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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“

“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 !“

“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?“

“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.“

“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. ❣️“

“I've been ordering here for years. Their food is amazing. I am picky about Singapore Mei Fun. I had found one takeout place in Mendham that has done really well for years and when I work in that area I order it. On a whim I asked them how theirs was and said I would let her know. It was amazing. Along with the rest of the food. The egg rolls are crispy and not a drop of grease. Outstanding Chinese takeout. Keep up the good work.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Ordered pineapple chicken for my lunch yesterday Generous portion. Lots of chicken and pineapples It was delicious“

“The food and service are excellent at this small, ‘blink and you’ll miss it’ Chinese restaurant. My son and I ordered sesame chicken, general tso chicken and crab rangoon. Huge portions and all of it delicious. You’ll likely opt for take out. Highly recommended! I even enjoyed the message on my fortune cookie! “Your dreams are the treasures of your soul.”“

“Todo muy rico....volveremos...el turron peruano riquisimo.“
