“This place is the most solid and consistent American Chinese restaurant in the entire New Brunswick area. Portions are fantastic and the food is always so hot and fresh. They are happy to accommodate my vegan partner by subbing tofu for meat in already vegan dishes.“

Dry Pot Dish: Spicy, savory, and full of exciting textures. Sichuan Hot & Sour Soup: The perfect balance of heat and tang. Red Curry Dish: Rich, aromatic, and satisfying.

“Best in 30 years only place I get Chineese! Best of the Best!“

“The food was delicious, with a great fusion of Latin from different countries and Asian cuisine. The hospitality and attention were great. Even though it was just one person, he took good care of us. The atmosphere was comfortable. It was a quiet Monday night.“

“China Garden is definitely one of the best spots around if you’re looking for affordable and delicious Chinese takeout. The food is consistently good — flavorful, fresh, and satisfying. When you pick up your order directly, the prices are very reasonable. I spent about $18 for two full meals, which is a great deal considering the portion sizes.

Just a heads up: if you order through Uber Eats or other delivery apps, the total can get pretty pricey with fees and markups. So if you want to keep it affordable, picking up is definitely the way to go.

Overall, a great choice for a tasty, budget-friendly meal when you’re craving Chinese!“

“Excellent service, food good and they are always so kind and nice ???“

“This review is long overdue. I actually live in VA. However, every time I come up to Jersey to visit family I always order from China Wok. My family never ordered from here until I tried it out. They enjoy the food as well. We've tried different dishes and have yet to be disappointed. My orders are always delivery. I have yet to visit the restaurant in person. I highly recommend China Wok.“

“This was my first time ordering Chinese food in hillsborough. The food was very good ; I placed my online order and my food was ready when I arrived. I rated the atmosphere 3 stars because I did not eat inside. Therefore, I can not give the restaurant so a review based on the atmosphere. I would definitely order take out again; good food, timely service and reasonable price.“

“Food is consistent and has lots of flavor. Always fresh and made efficiently. It’s a standard Chinese spot with limited seating and decorations but the food is delicious.

I have taken the food to multiple events and people unfamiliar with it love it. I hope they continue to have good quality and home style cooking.“

“New Szechuan Kitchen is a decent Chinese restaurant, though the food is a bit on the greasy side for my liking. The flavors are generally good, but I found the dishes to be a bit overly oily.

That said, I do prefer the Bound Brook location 1,000 times more than this one. The flavor and consistency at the Bound Brook spot is much better in my experience.

Overall, New Szechuan Kitchen is an average Chinese restaurant. The food is okay, but nothing particularly remarkable. If you're in the mood for some classic Chinese fare, it might be worth a try, but I'd recommend the Bound Brook location over this one if you have the option.“

“They have the best Chinese to me compare to other Chinese places… especially the egg foo young I just love the taste of there gravy, the employees are so nice and respectful, very patient with me and my co workers, I even come when I go home and pick up food to eat for dinner everything is good, no complaint's“

“Fast, fresh and delicious. Friendly owners, free cans of sodas on certain days and/or if you buy a few dinners? Not positive how it works but the first time the lady told me that I was happy, that’s how you treat customers, paired with quality Chinese food and you have yourself a go to spot.“

“Yes it’s a hole in the wall AND the ONLY place in a 30-mile radius where you can feed the entire family for under $20. Quantity is large and the taste not repulsive at all. Quality is consistent and we never had diarrhea. We’ve dined in too and it was clean enough. To those who want service, atmosphere and food allergy accommodations, you really need to double your budget and eat somewhere else. We like their chicken wings, boneless ribs, hot and sour soup, chow Mai fun and chicken teriyaki. I give 5-star to counter act the 1-stars. Realistically I would rate the food a 3.5/5 and value 5/5“

“The food was delicious and the prices are reasonable! I wanted to try another spot on a Monday because my regular spot was closed. They were very nice and the restaurant was very clean. Everything was made fresh to order. I would recommend this place.“

“This has been my only go to Chinese food since I tasted it well over a decade ago! It’s always fresh and the place is clean! The family is super friendly and will substitute whatever I ask for. The portions are plenty and we often have this as a family gathering:event. They also have amazing combination dishes, something for everyone. Plus they have a discounted lunch menu that’s a fantastic price 11-3 . I definitely recommend trying them out . Honestly, even with delivery and the next town over it’s always here very quickly. Every time I call up make an order it’s ready as soon as I walk in the door. They even have coupons on their paper menu plus they give free items with large orders such as soup, egg rolls or large sodas. Five stars from my entire family ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We went for the dinner. Food was good. The lady taking orders and serving food at the table was very nice & friendly. The place was clean. Their portion is very big so if you don’t have that much appetite, 2 people can eat from one order of Entree which is fantastic & prices are very reasonable.

Vegetarian options: Many Vegetarian options“

“fresh great food light flavorful“

“This is only the third review I've ever written in my life. First time trying here and regret not doing it sooner. Fantastic tasting food at great price.Egg drop / wonton soup, fried wontons and chicken chop suey was amazing! Our new go to place. Very friendly counter service!“

“Absolutely- The Best Chinese Place To Goto in Somerset Nj, The Inside Is alway's extremely clean, The Portion size was on point & the taste of the food, & the great service will leave you Coming back for Second's! 5 Stars!! ? ??“

“I love their garlic shrimp with scallops menu item. I always get it for take-out. I have eaten at least 20 of them. There is a problem with their packaging. They put the food into a white plastic container that ALWAYS leaks. The container is not water-proof. They put the white container into a brown bag and put that into a plastic bag. The sauce leaks from the white container through the brown bag and into the plastic bag. When I open the white container, I get sauce from the bottom of the container all over my kitchen counter and have a mess to clean up. I have seen other take-out containers and NONE of them ever leak. This business needs to get a liquid-proof or water-proof container to put the food in so the sauce does not leak out. Wake up please!!!!!!!!!!!

I ordered a take-out today July 31, 2024 and was surprised to see they have a new container that, when held upright, does not leak. One good step in the right direction. I wish they would go one more step and use a truly watertight container. Many restaurants use waterproof containers so an even better type of container does exist.“

“I've been there many times and the place is super busy so you may wait I never order anything that's real intricate for them to make I order simple stuff tell me Hunan shrimp pork fried rice spare ribs usually the food is priced less than anybody else around the quality of the food seems very good for takeout Chinese you got to remember this is not gourmet food not bad food for the money my best advice to you keep it simple when you order there some stuff when you're busy takes too long to prepare anyway the girl there speaks hardly any English and I can't understand when she talks but the the gentleman behind the stove is English is very good the food is good 1050 for a combination meal is very fairly priced everybody else is 12-15 for the same meal I recommend going there and you might wait 15 minutes 20 minutes even if you call they are very busy because your food is good and your prices are cheap bottom line if you expecting gourmet food I would not go there and“

“I've always liked the food from China City 2, and I've never had a bad meal from here. Also, the lady is very nice and friendly. However, since the pandemic began in early-2020, their prices have gone through the roof!!! I understand, same thing could be said for supermarkets, gas, and the supply chain, but this is borderline insane pricing! Maybe their rent went up 75%? Not sure... Whatever the case may be, I used to be able to get a soup, egg roll, and some kind of chicken or beef and broccoli dish, with roast pork fried rice, for around $12. Now it's around $19. Big difference! Still fresh, clean and tasty, but for a take-out joint, a bit overly expensive, to say the least!“

“The pork lo mein special is to die for; first place I’ve found that puts long, juicy slices of pork in the lo mein instead of measly crumbs. The steamed dumplings are also very tasty. The ordering process was very easy and the food was made very quickly. Will come again.“

“The only issue I’ve ever experienced was service associated with takeout orders. They’ve switched to a 3rd Party taking orders and issuing pickup numbers. Issue resolved. The food is always good, and prices are in line with other restaurants.“

“Indo-Chinese food is delicious. Very clean place and nice service. Worth it. Definitely will come next time..“

“I've been eating at Chinese food restaurants my whole life, I've lived in three different cities in New jersey, this is by far the best it's a husband and wife team they cook very clean they take pride in their food and best of all they serve good portions. Ask for the shrimp and broccoli and tell them to put Hunan spicy sauce on it, it's the best. I recommend telling them to undercook the broccoli so it's crunchie.. owners are amazing, great service and really care. After at least a hundred times of eating and taking out from here, I've decided to put in a review. This is ever go to almost every Friday night the kids love it.“

“I Would Fight a Bear for This Chinese Food

Alright, folks, gather ‘round. I have a story to tell. I recently moved back to Jersey from Florida, and if you’ve ever lived in Florida, you know two things: 1) Alligators will steal your golf balls, and 2) They have no idea how to make good Chinese food. Seriously, I don’t know what’s going on down there, but I’ve had dumplings in Florida that tasted like they had an identity crisis halfway through cooking.

But then, this place happened.

I ordered (purely in the name of science, of course), and I swear on my fortune cookie—I have seen the light.

Let’s break it down:

Pork Fried Rice – Perfectly seasoned, fluffy, with that little hint of wok magic that tells me someone back there knows what they’re doing. This isn’t just rice; this is a lifestyle choice.

10-Piece Crabmeat Rangoons – I took a bite and immediately questioned every life decision that led me to eat subpar rangoons in the past. Crispy? Check. Creamy? Check. So addictive I’d trade my Netflix password for another order? Check.

Chicken and Broccoli – I think it hugged me from the inside. The chicken was tender, the sauce was divine, and the broccoli wasn’t that sad, overcooked mess some places give you. No, this was vibrant, fresh, and ready to be devoured.

Now, here’s the thing—I don’t just like this place. I am now in a full-blown, committed relationship with this restaurant. I will be talking about it at parties. I will be bringing out-of-town guests here like I personally own stock in it. And I will not rest until I have left a five-star review on every single platform known to mankind. Google? Done. Yelp? Already there. Carrier pigeon message straight to their kitchen? Give me time.

In fact, I’m already researching pigeon care because if that’s what it takes to support this mission, then so be it. I will foster a pigeon. I will name it Lo Mein and train it to deliver handwritten praise directly to the chefs.

And to anyone who dares say anything bad about this food—I’m convinced you have burned off all your taste buds. The only possible explanation is that you’ve been eating nothing but plain porridge your entire life and now mistake "flavor" for a personal attack. Seek help. Seek seasoning. Seek this restaurant.

Whoever is back there making this food, just know—I appreciate you. I see you. I love you. Expect me back. Probably too often. Possibly enough to be concerning.

10/10. No notes. Perfection achieved.“

“I live across the street from there. I have ordered twice from them and food has been very Good.prices are good and they pack the container with food.everybody should try them out. No complaints. Gonna have some more orange chicken it's been 45 minutes“

“As a young kid I always went with my grandpa and it was awesome every time! Although we switched for a little when China moon was closed because of Covid (I think). Me and my grandma decided to try it again and it was awesome! Can’t forget the pringles they give! Can’t wait to go there again with my grandpa since I tried it again today! People were awesome and friendly. Food was not greasy and had flavor. Would recommend!“

“Very nice preparation and prompt service“

“I just discovered this location and I've been eating from here everyday ever since. Today I made my order online like I always do and 30 mins later went to get my order, I was told it's not there and I overheard them saying the order was prepared and it seems someone grabbed the order. Now the previous times I went to get my order I was asked the last 4 digits of my phone number, so why did they hand my order over to someone else this time without asking for the last 4 digits of the phone number is very questionable... Anyways other than that, the food was great as always.“
