50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Sayreville

“This is my all time favorite Chinese Restaurant! The food is delicious, generous portions and friendly service! We missed them during their brief closure for the beginning of the pandemic. Thank you!!“

“9/8/25 - Another Monday night and the family wanted Chinese again. And that means another night I didn't get to go to my regular place.\n\nTonight, we did take out from a place in Sayreville, NJ called New Lams Garden. One of the things about living in this area is that there's no shortage of great places to pick up a meal and this absolutely applies to Chinese food. \n\nLams is a little bit further out than my regular place but the quality here may make me want to travel the extra miles. \n\nI ordered Beef and Bean Curd with a pork egg roll and got in on a few steamed pork dumplings too. \n\nThe Beef and Bean Curd was perfectly cooked. The vegetables they used were all cooked perfectly. They were all drenched in a delectable brown sauce and snapped when you bit them. The egg roll was a bit greasy but more meaty than the ones that are usually available in this area. Appreciated! And the dumplings are clearly the ones are prepared on site and not just bought from a wholesaler. And I LOVE that. \n\nMy daughter ordered chicken lo mein. You can just tell by the color of the dish how awesome it tasted. \n\nSo yes I still have a solid Chinese place that I will return to and review. But in the mean time, New Lams Garden is more than just an adequate substitute. \n\nPoints were deducted for clunky website with no ability to order online.\n\nOverall Rating: A-\n\nPS--- best thing about Chinese food is LEFTOVERS! I will enjoy this meal at least twice more in the coming days.“

“one of my favorite places to order food from. The mini pan fried dumplings are incredible along with everything else we have ordered. And for chicken fingers it doesn't get better than here. The orders are fast, hot and fresh and well done. Especially the luncheon specials. Generous portions and every single dish we have ordered was incredible. Worth the trip going there.“

“This is our usual go-to. The sesame chicken is delicious, and so is the chicken&broccoli. The fried wontons are some of the best I've had. Sometimes you have to repeat parts of the order again, but the order always comes correct, hot, and delicious. The prices have DEFINITELY jumped, but honestly- What prices haven't?“

“Best Chinese food in the area. I've tried others, but have been coming here consistently for about 10 years (they were closed for a bit due to a fire in the shopping mall). Call ahead for takeout and the wait time is never long. Great portions and the food is always hot and ready. Not really a place to dine-in; maybe one or two tables.“

“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!“

“The environment of the restaurant was amazing! The aroma and taste of the soup was delicious and fulfilling. Definitely would come back again.
Customer service was great. It’s been a while since we visited and they have added several different soup base choices. We went for the basic chicken broth with fish maw, but will definitely try other ones next time.
All the hot pot restaurants in the area are all-you-can-eat, but this one isn’t. However, the quality of the soup stock is way better and the dining environment is quieter.“

“Hot pot is often very hard to eat. Our vegetarian family often struggles to find food not contaminated with meat or fish. At Mala Town, we were very pleased to see how thoroughly the dishes and utensils were cleaned. Furthermore, the food options were vast, fresh and customizable. This place is perfect!“

“My date and I came here last night and everything was excellent! The wait staff was also very attentive and answered all of our questions and was able to offer recommendations. We got a fish and egg appetizer which was absolutely amazing, the sour and spicy black cod soup, and the osmanthus lotus root for dessert. You can order from iPads that have pictures of everything on the menu and it sends everything straight to the kitchen. It may be helpful if you speak Mandarin but it is not necessary.“

“amazing! great tasty stuff“

“Best Chinese food we’ve had in a long time. We ordered the popcorn chicken and cumin beef, and both were excellent. Everything was flavorful and well balanced without being overly oily or salty. Even our toddler loved it.

The owner was incredibly kind, and we had a nice conversation about plants and food. The restaurant itself is also very clean and welcoming. Great prices. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Really good food and late nights eats to be quite honest. It’s affordable to people going to Rutgers nearby and quick and easy to get to. Not too far from the yard and it makes it more convenient if you’re a nearby college student or just living in the area. Good eats I’d say“

“The entire staff was outstanding! This all-you-can-eat hot pot restaurant is sure to lift your spirits, and the wide variety of delicious options really whets your appetite. It’s the perfect place to enjoy lunch with family and friends. We’ve had a wonderful time every time we’ve dined here, and we’ll be back soon.“

“Excellent cold sesame noodles! Everything is so fresh!“

“Wow! Really hard to put into words how incredible the dining experience was here. The service, beverages, & chefs tasting menu was an experience unlike any I’ve ever had before. The food was art & tasted just as beautiful as it looked. Thank you to the team for being so passionate about what you’re doing, and I look forward to returning again someday.“

“Personally, I think this is the best hotpot place in this area. Its a small restaurant but it’s so cozy, the staff is so kind, and the food is delicious. My husband and I always start off with their Sliced Beef and OX Tongue in Chili Sauce ( it’s served cold but it’s so good!). We then get their hotpot ( you can definitely share one order with two people). Their spice level is no joke! - and it’s delicious. We also love their specialty drinks; they’re so refreshing and help cut the spice level from the hotpot.
The staff is so helpful and accommodating. We have baby, and they have always gone above and beyond to make sure we are seated comfortably with our stroller by our side. It’s one of the few places that we have found easily fits a full stroller next to our table.
We’ve brought all our family and friends here because of how much we love this place.
The parking space is a little small, but there are plenty of neighboring parking spots that you can use.“

“Been here a few times. The original location in edison (back in the day) has been my go to for tasty chinese... and I appreciate the spin off locations for more accessibility to good food. I always get (and always love) a few orders of XLB, chicken cabbage rice cakes, and rotate through their spicy noodle features. We had the kids with us last time, so we also added an order of sesame balls.

It's always fun to watch the staff make the dumplings on site, and their XLB is noticiely bigger and juicier than most other places. However, it did seem to fall apart more than I remember - it's always a bummer when they pop prematurely. I also felt their sesame balls could have been fried a bit longer for more crisp, and there was just a general smell of cleaning liquid throughout (authentically Chinese but clashes with the nice decor and stamped napkins & gold plates).

Otherwise a decent experience and most likely will continue to patronize.“

“Great food. The sampler dumplings are awesome.“

“Absolutely delicious! I tried their freshly baked crab meat mooncake and the crab roe rice — both were incredible! The mooncake was warm, flaky, and filled with real crab meat, and the crab roe rice was super flavorful and fragrant. You can really taste the freshness in every bite. Highly recommend this place if you love authentic crab dishes!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This is the only place I feel safe ordering in from as someone with food allergies. I have a dairy and gluten allergy and they are so accommodating with the dishes. You get big portions for a good price and the food is always so fresh. I also have a super stomach with some problems so I always feel icky eating out and since the food is cooked in high quality oil I never feel icky after eating here which is SO rare for me. The owner is incredibly kind and told me how she also has food allergies and is happy to make modifications and help. It’s so rare that restaurants welcome modifications and she always does so for me. I’ve never gotten sick here and it’s the one restaurant I feel comfortable ordering in from and look forward to doing so every week. The entire staff is helpful and are always kind and respectful even when the phone is ringing like crazy and there’s a line for pick up. They never rush you and always make you feel welcome. A local gem- thank you to the incredibly owner for giving us allergy people a safe place with delicious food and for accommodating me with a smile. I appreciate you so much. Please support this local small business“

“I had a great experience at this Venezuelan-Chinese restaurant in the U.S. The food tastes just like back home in Venezuela, authentic, flavorful, and really well prepared. Every dish reminded me of that classic Chinese Venezuelan flavor we love so much. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was very welcoming. Overall, everything was excellent and I will definitely be coming back.“

“This is a truly authentic Fuzhou snack spot. Their *banmian* (tossed noodles) is the real deal—genuine Fuzhou-style noodles. It’s the kind of *banmian* that only someone from Fuzhou could make. It’s even more authentic than what you’d find in New York.“

“Love their Bento boxes!!!“

“This place has been my go-to Chinese spot to get food from the foods pretty good the service there is great the ladies that take your order are very sweet very genuine and they always make you laugh. Me and my family have been ordering here for I don't know how long but it's our go-to spot, the food portions are good and the prices for most things are fair.“

“I heard about the Huaiyang cuisine presented at the recent US-China May banquet and had to come try out this restaurant specializing in it. It was very good, my family gives it a 11 out of 10, my aunties loved it especially. Very lowkey ambiance with a great elevated view outdoors to the bustling plaza filled with night lights“

“i ordered the mala dry pot which is pretty expesnive at 35 dolars compareddd to other items. While the flavor isnt that bad I feel like they pad it up with way too many veggies and such; theres not that much meat which im kinda disappointed with especially with how much im payin“

“My husband and I make it a habit to dine here on weekends. They offer an incredible variety of rice noodle dishes. My personal favorites are the kimchi soup and the tomato soup. However, my husband prefers the hot and spicy soup. And let me tell you, their popcorn chicken is the best in town! Highly recommended!“

“I recently visited Sultan Wok for a quick meal and was amazed. Their half chicken fried rice and boneless spare ribs were not only delicious but also served remarkably fast. The perfect balance of flavor in every bite and the swift service made my dining experience outstanding. Sultan Wok is definitely the go-to spot for anyone seeking great Chinese food without the hassle of waiting!“

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

“They still make really good food, not great like it used to be. They no longer have table service and the tables, chairs and rug are in disarray. They also doubled down on a weird pink color that leaves me to believe it must have been a clearance color.“

“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.“

“I hadn't visited this place in over 10 years [out of state] and I must say it's just as good as is was back then. I used to LOVE going here and id just sit on my car and eat egg rolls in the parking lot lol. It's such a cute little spot with great food. Idk if it's the same owners since back then but still amazing !!“

“Was in the area and tried this place for the first time and really enjoyed it. Price was good and the portion size was very good! Flavorful and really tasty pork dumplings in broth. I appreciated the bok choy in the broth. If I’m in the area again, I would like to try other items on the menu.“

“Good Shanghai dumping with ginger and black vinegar. Should have more veggies on chef special. Ok thanks“

“Great Chinese food spot, nothing fancy just great food“

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

“First time ordering here, I had never heard of it despite living in the area, but they had a deal on door dash so I decided to try it out. I have been looking for a good Chinese food restaurant since I moved to this area but have so far been disappointed until today. By far the best Chinese food in the area. Generous portions, and tasted great. It even arrived piping hot. It was also packed very well so it delivered perfectly, no mess anywhere. Glad I found this place because its on my way home from work so I will definitely be stopping by again.
I had the orange chicken with fried rice and egg roll, it was great. I also got plain lo mein, it wasnt overcooked like a lot of places, the noodles were still loose and had a nice chew, not just mush, and a scallion pancake which was super crispy. I was really happy with everything!“

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

“My favorite restaurant in Edison and a restaurant that must be reported almost every week.
Recommended dishes:
Free-range chicken (a classic of Hunan cuisine, the chicken is delicious when killed alive), sizzling squid (not fishy at all, with the aroma of barbecue), dry-pot beef brisket (not too bad, not chewy, just the right texture), smoked bamboo shoots and beef rice noodles (freshly fried toppings, full of pot flavor, personally ranked first in the Edison rice noodle category)“

“Today dined at this restaurant for my daughter's birthday and I must say, the food tasted absolutely delicious. The quality of service was top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff who made us feel welcomed and taken care of. What made the experience even more special was the personalized touch they added to make my daughter's birthday extra special. I highly recommend this restaurant for any special occasion!“

“Love the food here and enjoy the experience. Will keep coming back.“

“Authentic Chinese food at a reasonable price. Water and tea are self-serving. We ordered Sweet & Sour Pork Chop, Seafood Rice Cakes and Mapo Tofu with pork, all were delicious. Will try something different next time.

Parking: Tuesday around 1pm, plenty of parking.“

“I had an incredible experience at Inches Bamboo Garden! Every dish we tried was flavourful and unique, from the veggie fried rice, manchurian and the amazing orange chicken. This place is a must visit!“

“Just ordered for the first time from this place and I have to say , WOW....the general chicken was delicious and the fried rice was very good .
I can't wait to try more options because based on what I have had im sure im going to love it.
Sorry I didn't post any pics but ate it way too fast like it was my last meal.
Very good portion size
Very good flavor
I definitely recommend“

“A small takeout Chinese eatery with a fairly standard menu selection bearing high average prices. Hong Kong Express serves americanized Chinese fare. Set in a small strip mall, there seems to be adequate parking. Upon entering, the first impression is clean. Featuring newer furnishings, decor and construction. As a child took my order and payment, this is clearly a family business.
So I've only had one dish at this place. I can say for freshness of ingredients, it's excellent. For amount of meat added, average. Unfortunately my dish was extremely bland. I had to add 7 packets of various sauce and that was still not enough. As I make this dish at home, the main sauce is soy. I wish I had grabbed more.
Speaking of sauce, no sauce, forks, chopsticks or napkins were added or offered. I'm glad I checked and added on my own.
This business succeeds in 2 major ways most other Chinese places don't (freshness and cleanliness). I hope I just caught an off dish. I'd return, but until I had a better dish, I wouldn't recommend.“

“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.“
