Vegetarian options: Cooked to prefection.“

“Came to visit a friend in NJ, they suggested this hot pot place, the soup was thick and flavorful but during our meal we ordered a chicken appetizer dish which was not available for a while per the cashier, however we were still billed for the appetizer and never gotten the dish. They were great to took it off our bill but kinda shouldn’t had it happened. Over all the food was great but the portion could have been more. We had the beef and few other dishes the most memorable was the money pouch tofu dish filled with shrimps. I guess it is a pretty decent place for hot pot after all if it was always packed and reservation is recommended.“

“The soups at Nai Brother are amazing! If you like pickled flavors, this is the dish for you. So far, we've tried the house signature and the sour pickled pepper with flounder. I highly recommend them, and we plan on going back to try more flavors. What I like best is that this dish is large enough to share.“

“The general Tsos was only ok, still better than many other places around town, but nothing to write home about. Their wanton soup on the other hand was fantastic and made me feel so much better (I'm sick) and their egg rolls weren't bad either. Overall the food was very good and I will be coming back.“

“Loved the decor and the overall vibe of the restaurant. The food was delicious. Very good quality meat. We got the beef oil and pork bone broth and it was delicious. We also ordered the the house fried rice which was so yummy. The sauce selection was great too. Service was good as well.

“This was amazing food! The spice level was just right!! We came here once and just had to come back because of how amazing it was! Just amazing. The taste of pickled claws and smashed cucumber is unforgettable ,Good proportions. Great food.“

“Absolutely delicious!
WU's Shanghai Dumpling offers some of the best dumplings I've had—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The xiao long bao were juicy and packed with authentic taste. Friendly staff and cozy atmosphere make this a go-to spot for anyone craving real Shanghai-style comfort food. Highly recommended!“

“Crab roe over rice was good but I wouldn’t say it was phenomenal. Maybe a 7.5/10. Personally, I would have like more roe and less rice. I’m thought the price was a bit high, but I guess I’m not aware of what the price of crab roe is…?

The Nanjing salted duck leg was not for me. I was not aware that it would be a cold dish and I really didn’t like it.“

“Great food. The sampler dumplings are awesome.“

“Delicious Food, Outstanding Service! We have been ordering from this restaurant since it opened and it’s truly become our go-to spot. The food is consistently delicious—the taste has never changed, and every meal feels just as special as the first. The owner is the friendliest person you’ll meet, and the service is always top-notch. Our Favorite Dishes: Garlic Sauce Dish with Chicken and Shrimp: Our absolute favorite—always packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. Sesame Tofu: Deliciously crispy with a great sesame flavor. 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. We’ve recommended this place to so many friends, and everyone agrees it’s a winner. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food and a welcoming atmosphere!“

“Such a nice evening!! The food was delicious and our server (so sorry I don’t know your name!! The Hungarian girl from Felsoörs 🇭🇺🇺🇸) was exceptional, so knowledgeable of the menu, sociable, prompt and helpful! We had the fried eggplants & chicken popcorn as appetizers, then various types of noodle dishes, sesame chicken and seafood tofu. Super yummy, and cozy atmosphere. Will go back when in Princeton!“

“Yue Wah Kitchen is hands down our go-to spot whenever we’re craving Chinese food! The food is consistently amazing—fresh, flavorful, and always cooked to perfection. Whether it's their delicious General Tso's chicken, fried rice, or dumplings, every dish hits the spot!

What really makes this place special are the owners. They are some of the nicest, friendliest people you’ll ever meet. They truly make you feel like family whenever you visit. The service is always top-notch, and they go out of their way to ensure you have a great experience.

We’ve been coming here for years and can’t imagine going anywhere else for Chinese food. If you haven’t tried Yue Wah Kitchen yet, you’re missing out!“

“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.“

“what an amazing Christmas Dinner, will definitely be back to try more of the menu“

“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)“

“Walked in here unsure but left out very satisfied. I was greeted by a well mannered young lady who took my order. She explained the benefit of paying in cash vs card. The food was exactly how I asked it to be cooked. The taste was excellent. This was my first time here but won’t be my last.“

“Easily a top 3 restaurant in New Brunswick. I have turned several friends and colleagues onto it.
I don't know much about authentic Chinese food, but based on what I've seen, I think this is the real deal.
What solidified it's authenticity to me is the first time I tried the mala dish - it is crazy spicy and flavorful and perfect to warm you up and clear your sinuses! The fact that it isn't toned down for American palates, to me, is an indication that they make the real deal.
Their Sichuan pork dumplings are my new comfort food.
201 and 204 are my usual orders, but the Taiwanese stewed pork with rice (503) is phenomenal; crazy tender and flavorful meat.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Super fresh and delicious food, all tastes very authentic.

Our family went there for dinner and ended up having a great time. We highly recommend Traditional sweet sour fried pork, classic fried mushroom, fried lamb skewer, and the noodle soup.

My kids love the sausage fried rice so much that they were fighting for it. LOL.

We came in late but the waitress was so friendly and nice to us. We really appreciate the hospitality they offered and will certainly come back next time when we are close by.

Parking: Plenty free parking

Kid-friendliness: High chair available, very friendly service to kids“

“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!“

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

“Pleased to find another tasty mapo tofu in the same plaza as another favorite.

I found Chef Ge randomly because I had first went to Xi-an Flavor in the same mall at noon. The person there told me they don’t open until 1pm, so after taking a look on Google and seeing a photo of mapo tofu I decided to give it a chance.

They serve a large bowl of mapo tofu over rice, which comes with a half salty egg. Portion size is nice for the price, which was 11.99. Note you can save some $ by paying cash.

Mapo tofu was flavorful and saucy, as I like it.

They have a large space with an entire other section that looks like it can easily host parties. I’d visit again.“

“Super good! I love the sweet and sour pork (锅包肉）. It’s very thin and crispy! Really good taste and I cannot stop eating it with rice! The sour and sweet flavor is good for your appetite. Highly recommend. The dishes here taster very vernacular and original. Love it !“

“Great food and a pleasant staff. Best in the area.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Noodles Time is amazing! I absolutely loved the pig intestines—they were cooked to perfection and packed with flavor. But the real highlight was the duck noodle soup—it was to die for! The broth was rich and aromatic, and the duck was incredibly tender. The staff is super friendly. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I sent you message please check your inbox“

“The owner of this place is the best! I have a food allergy and she makes my food without it every time, perfectly delicious! This is my go to chinese spot. Do yourself a favor and get the hot and sour soup, I judge chinese food restaurants by it, and this is one of the best around“

“Amazing food and exceptional service. I love the crab rangoon, sweet& sour soup, and general tso chicken. Everything was so fresh. The lunch special was quick and simple- I love how reliable it is to order from Golden East Garden. Would recommend“

“fresh great food light flavorful“

“Best shop in the area for FRESH seafood to buy and cook at home. They also have a menu of seafood meals and sandwiches to take out. I love their Blackened Catfish Sandwich with the best coleslaw around.

They have a small parking lot behind the Ivy Inn that is helpful. Try to shop early in the day because traffic in mid to late afternoon on Nassau Street is awful.“

“I did an order delivery tonight and it's probably enough for three or four nights. I ordered directly from the store..The delivery came within 30 minutes and the lady I spoke to to make the order was very nice before that. I got some steamed chicken dishes with sauce on the side. I asked for brown rice instead of white rice and it was only a dollar per serving. I also got pork with snow peas and it came perfectly beautifully steamed even though i didn't specify that but it's exactly how I like it. Also lo mein as well. All of this with delivery fee and tip totalled about 60 or $65. And the food tastes just great. I am so happy I ordered from them and this is the second time I did so and had forgotten about them for a while. I rate this as the best Chinese delivery food in the area.

Dietary restrictions: They have great steamed dishes with sauce on the side and no added salt or oil.“

“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!“

“For those have a liking for Boneless Ribs; my suggestions , never order the BBQ spare ribs coz it comes with the bones ! D reason for the wrong choice which that couple came in for and not coming back this is absurd ! For I am there before my last visit in Dec.22 ! For those whom wants oriental Asian taste ; I regrets to tell u that it isn’t the place where you wants to go ! In America, most Chinese restaurants are semi-American -Asian foods that are served ! This place even have customers from Trenton, PA, Hopewell and Pennington too! No credit card, no checks and Cash Only !“

“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“

“Five-star recommendation, a must-eat every week, there is also sago soup for free on Fridays and Saturdays, it is super delicious?The food is also great, and most importantly, the people here are super nice, and you can feel the warmth of home every time you come here ! Recommend everyone to come??“

“Food and service was fantastic“

“Very delicious, a little expensive for poor students, but the taste is nothing to say. As the review said, the waiter always suggests adding more dishes. Even though we have ordered a lot of grilled skewers, duck blood vermicelli, fried eggplant, cold dishes, potted pork, rice, etc., we continue to recommend more dishes, but just refuse. Overall very satisfied ?“

“Food was delicious..nice size lunch portion and very reasonable pricing.“

“This is our go to place for Chinese and Seafood Boil. We love the friendly service and they accommodate all our special requests. I love that we can have seafood boil and Chinese food all at once. Everyone wins. We have been coming here for almost 20 years and loved every meal. Eat local and support local business!“

“(Recommendations below) Their service is always speedy and orders always accurate. Food is always delicious. This is the go-to for everyone in the area whether it’s for a lunch break or dinner time take-out. They don’t offer delivery, but it’s in such a convenient location that it works out. Haven’t been to any other chinese restaurant as good as China Star 💗⭐️ they’re so consistent in every aspect. They also have a buffet, but I haven’t tried it yet. Give them a try!
