50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Roseland

“Tonight was the first time we ordered from here and all I can say is AMAZING things about the entire experience. When we picked up the food, we could immediately tell it was gonna be a good dinner because the whole family was there, including the children, which everyone knows that meals cooked by family are always the best so the food was DELICIOUS! The udon noodles with beef were the best noodles we’ve ever tasted. Definitely will be our new go too for takeout!“

“I ordered a side order of boneless spare ribs small and a egg roll for my mom the ribs were very good and delicious ? perfectly cooked and not greased my mom enjoyed the egg roll. The prices are very good ? and cheaper than other Chinese restaurants. The young Asian lady who works there was very nice and sweet. Also the place was very clean and easy to find. I will definitely order again. ☺️ They don't offer delivery but you can use door dash but it's very close to where I live so I don't mind pickup.“

“Great service and fabulous food“

“Lucky Foo in Kearny, NJ: The Real Deal Chinese Experience

If you're looking for that authentic, no-frills Chinese spot, Lucky Foo is for you.

If you're expecting some fancy American-style service, you might be in for a shock. But trust me, that's part of the charm. It's just one person cooking and one serving, and their mission? Get that homemade food to you, no matter how long it takes. Don't come here if you're in a rush - this is slow food at its finest. I learned about this style of service living in Hawaii, so it felt familiar to me.

Now, let's talk about the star of the show - the food. It's clean, packed with homestyle flavor, and will leave you feeling satisfied. That noodle soup? Pure magic. When I'm craving authentic, homemade noodle soup, this is the spot I head to. It's not an everyday thing, but when that specific craving hits, Lucky Foo delivers.

The vibe inside is something else. It's quiet - like, eerily quiet - and filled with what looked like college-age Asian students. No background music, no chitchat, just people focused on their bowls or phones. It's an experience, I'm telling you.

Don't expect any fancy menus - it's all up on the wall. And heads up, it's cash only. But honestly? The food is so good, you won't even care.

If you're after authentic Chinese cuisine without any of the fuss, Lucky Foo is your spot. It might not be for everyone, but for those who get it? It's a little slice of homestyle heaven right here in Kearny.“

“Food was fantastic! Owners extremely friendly and personable! Make it a destination and try all the wonderful food!“

“So it was delivery order, very friendly lady took order over the phone, fast service reasonable price and I'm sure the food will be amazing. 30-45mi can't wait already , also seems she does take care of her drivers too, got 4 different things from there and all are great, thank you guys, merry “

“i am here to specifically point out that their SOUP DUMPLINGS are WONDERFUL! I only have ever had soup dumplings as good as these in flushing, queens, (nyc), where there is a dense asian population. I came in expecting not too great dumplings and left overly satisfied and pleasantly surprised. really good soup dumplings for a place in nj.“

“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“

“Delish. We always love coming to veggie heaven“

“If you’re looking for delicious authentic Sichaun dishes, recommend getting the Soup dumplings, Mongolian Beef, Dandan Noodles, Scallion Pankcakes, Chef Tan Style Fried Rice, Shrimp fried rice, Sichuan Style Hot & Sour Glass Noodles and Vegetarian String Beans. Heat levels can be adjusted to your liking.“

“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!!!!“

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

“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.“

“Happened to come across this place by surprise and at the last minute. Was looking for something light - a la a moo shu pork. I wasn't sure what to expect - but have to say it was really, really good. It is the first time I remember eating the whole portion. It was a great balance of vegetables, protein and seasoning. The only down side, using egg roll skin as the pancake is a bit of a cop out. A true Mandarin pancake would have earned it 5 stars.“

“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 really appreciate them having a gluten-free menu and lots of options, not just a salad. I tried their gluten free general tsos shrimp and shaved marinated brocoli shoots as an appetizer. It was generally good but shrimp was a bit overcooked. I will come back to taste their other dishes.“

“Excellent food and service!“

“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.“

“First it was a rainy day. They were busy. Young lady let's us know it was an 30 min wait. I was not rushed to order. She was very pleasant and patient. I ordered shrimp Egg Foo Young and beef Egg Foo young. The beef was so tender and the shrimp are nice big ones. And the brown gravy was delicious. If I could give 10 stats I would. Even with the wait time.“

“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.“

“We had the best experience in this restaurant. The manager was so sweet and smart. She gave us a feeling like dining at home. My son observed her dealing with some difficult customers in a very nice and smart way. Every staff was so dedicated in making you feel comfortable. Will come back again for sure!!“

“The food was ? delicious and not super pricey. There was a bit of a wait. I feel like it was worth while. They've been in business for years..

Vegetarian options: I asked for vegetable fried rice instead of chicken fried rice with my combo. It's also Halal for those that don't eat pork.“

“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“

“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:
- Small 小点 - $4.50
- Medium 中点 - $5.25
- Large 大点 - $5.75
- Special 特点 - $6.50
- Top 顶点 - $7.25
- Super 超点 - $8.95
- Chef 厨点 - $12

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

“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.“

“We often order from Verona Chinese Kitchen, delivery only. Deliveries are prompt. I really like their Sesame Chicken, Sweet and Sour Chicken, and Chicken with Cashew Nuts. My husband enjoys their Beef with Snowpeas, and Shrimp Toast. We sometimes order their soups, especially the Hot and Sour soup and Wonton soup, but ask for modifications as my husband has certain tolerances. They are very accommodating, everything arrives as ordered. The service is friendly, professional, and our orders are read back for clear communication, which is much appreciated as I am hard of hearing.“

“First time eating at this spot, literally 2 minutes walk from where I live it and I’ve always seen people in and out but never stop and try, Not a big fan of Chinese food but I wanted to try something different today and the wings and barbecue sauce was so good.“

“Always fast and friendly, never any issues with my orders ?

Vegetarian options: Can just easily ask over the phone or in person. Not 100% sure.

Dietary restrictions: Just ask for modifications

Parking: Free Public parking for the Chinese and other neighboring stores“

“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!!“

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

“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“

“The food taste so good. And there FREE item like FREE can soda, Ice Tea and some food can be FREE too. And sometimes, they give out COUPONS for ONLINE order like take OFF MONEY for the orders you makes ONLINE. I live 15 to 18 minutes away from the Chinese restaurant. They get in VERY FAST. And I did not expect that FAST. And I order like $30 to $40, I expect that to be here in 1 hour but they get here in 30 minutes. Also I got 2 Ice Tea FREE too.“

“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.“

“Super delicious food recommended to me by a friend. The Fried Chicken Wings are the crispiest, tastiest and best I’ve ever tasted.
Great delivery service .
Most delicious quality food I have tried, fresh and wonderful!
Try it and enjoy!“

“Best Chinese food in the area. The Chicken and Broccoli is incredible and they give you a ton of chicken unlike all the other Chinese spots near by. Their take- out service is super fast so I have never spent longer than ten minutes in the place. My only complaints are they don't deliver and only take cash.“

“Be patient and prepare for waiting for order and waiting for dishes (because there is only one server……), then all is good!! Can’t complain everything else, the seafood is so fresh and umami, seasoning is perfect, and lots of variety, and… very cheap (comparing to other seafood restaurants)!!! Will definitely come back and just choose a time with fewer people.“

“This is the first halal Chinese food experience I've ever had. This cash-only establishment has fresh food and competitive prices. The staff isn't very friendly and they're always in some kind of hurry. The restaurant is dated and not very welcoming and there is no dining area. The quality of food and its flavors make up for their other shortcomings. I will return, but with lower expectations.“

“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.“

“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 !!!!!!“

“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.“

“Ordered online for pick up. It said ready in 10 min which was not the case. No big deal as they were busy. The lady behind the window when we went to pickup was pleasant. The food was really good. We've order from at least 3 different Chinese restaurants and this so far is best. The price was very reasonable as well.“

“Very grateful for this place. So glad I spent the extra couple minutes to compare menus/reviews and landed here rather than the other closer options. The food was fresh, hot, tasty and it was prepared quickly. Friendly service but have some patience and grace as English is not their first language.

My boyfriend and I were exhausted, stressed, and hungry (I.e. desperate) during the tail end of a 5hr drive at Sunday night in the middle of rain/flooding and this place single handedly turned our miserable night around. Will definitely be back whenever we’re in the area again!“

“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.“

“Great place to catch a quick bite of authentic Asian cuisine. Atmosphere is cozy and vibrant, and the food is amazing. Staff is passionate and friendly, demonstrating that they care about their customers. Great experience overall, will definitely be coming back and recommending this place to all my friends.“

“very good taste. divarsity of plates“

“I was in the mood for Chinese food and the recent 5-star reviews made me want to give this place a try. Those reviews were not misleading.

After eating my pork-fried rice, I am glad that I chose to go there. I will probably make this place my preferred Chinese food restaurant.“

“so impressed!! we ordered takeout for new years and delivery took just over 30 minutes (not bad at all for a holiday!) they gave us a pretty set of metal utensils for the holiday is well, which was a very nice touch. the lo mein and mini veggie spring rolls are delicious. excited to order from them again!“

“Best local place for traditional Americanized Chinese food. They usually have the order ready within 20 minutes from your call and are reasonably cheap for the size of the portions. Each dish is flavorful and its a nice treat when you don't feel like cooking. They have a small parking lot in front too for covenience if you pick up!

Parking: Small lot right in front with a few spaces.“
