The decor is elegant, creating a warm and comfortable dining atmosphere, perfect for family gatherings or catching up with friends.The highlight, of course, is their signature Sour and Spicy Fish. The fish is fresh, tender, and seems to be carefully selected, pairing perfectly with the pickled vegetables.

The broth is rich but not greasy, with a moderate level of spiciness that even those who aren't keen on spicy food can enjoy. Additionally, the restaurant offers a variety of spice levels to satisfy different taste preferences.The portions in Edison, NJ, are generous, offering great value for money.

“This place serves the best hotpot I have every eaten. The chicken flavor in their popular pot has grrat taste. Service is excellent, the servers comes to you fast and food is served quickly too! They have been upgrading their restaurant by adding many more foods and even vending machines.“

“It is the second time we come as a family and the food is excellent, it is really impressive to find the typical Chinese/Venezuelan rice flavor with a Gourmet touch, the atmosphere is pleasant, clean and the service is wonderful, totally recommended!!!!! We will return without a doubt!“

The pickled fish soup with snakehead fish fillet is absolutely the best!!! And the add-on veggies are super fresh and tasty.Highly recommend this place!!❤️“

The ambiance is inviting, the service is exceptional, and the food is simply outstanding.

“OMG this place is a hidden gem! So glad I found it. Amazing. Just go. Had the pork soup dumplings (best I’ve had), pan fried pork buns (Amazing!) , spring rolls (EPIC). Everything was so good I got the Pan Fried Udon w/spicy pork to-go. Nice little restaurant love it here. Will be back“

“We came across Empire Schezuan by googling one night, and never looked back. It is our go to! They are so friendly and accommodating (food allergy) on the phone every single time. The food is ALWAYS amazing; never oily or greasy. Everything tastes high quality every time we order. Delivery is always prompt, food is hot, driver is SO kind. I highly recommend this restaurant!!“

“In the quaint town of Metuchen, if you don't know it's there, you'd pass it. My wife had General T'so's shrimp with brown rice, and my daughter had shrimp lo-mein, while I had Kung Pao chicken with fried rice. Additionally, we had some deliciously sautéed bok choy with brown rice. I believe it's a byob, as spirits aren't available. Light and delicious food, we'll be coming back.“

“Used to be my go-to Chinese place a few years ago. Went basic with general tso combo to test the waters again. Food was decent. Portion and container shrunk considerably. Same shape but shallow. We notice. Overall not bad. Not sure why so many places just can't get this dish crispy“

“It was awesome. The wait was only 2 or 3 minutes. Then, when we ordered, the food came out immediately. It was very good, and the sauces tasted great with it. We got boba as well, which was very good. Overall, it's not that expensive with it coming out to 30 dollars per person. Definitely recommend 10 out of 10Kid-friendliness: They had a whole section on the menu for kid friendly foods.“

“The food was good, and the service was great. The staff was really on top of things. It was a little expensive, though. My family of 4 spent $140, not including tips. And I don't get why they charged us an extra $1.99 per person for sauces.“

“Excellent Sichuan restaurant. Authentic Sichuan dishes and great service. Take out only, but you can take the food and dine in at Tabaq Restaurant (excellent restaurant also - authentic Pakistani food) next door. Tabaq owners own Dragon Palace (some type of ownership). I usually do take out from both Dragon Palace and from Tabaq. Dragon Palace now serves halal food only.“

“Dunhuang is one of my favorite places to eat- I’ve been here a few times now and the quality is wonderful. Everything is flavored so well, reasonably priced, and the staff is always super helpful and friendly! Special shoutout to Taylor for helping me find a song that I liked on their playlist! Will always come back here :)“

“This is a hot pot place in Edison that's actually good and if you know what to get or what meat should you choose, you're going to get what you pay for. It's cheaper than Korean BBQ with Hot Pot because there's NO bbq here! The soup is what's good here. We got the combination or regular and spicy soup then chose the PREMIUM package to get more meat and seafood and ice cream for dessert! And you can get another serving of ice cream! There's also special drinks for PREMIUM packagWe were glad that we did although regular can get you to their good array of meats and vegetables. Loved that they have a good array of seafood on their regular package. They also have cotton candy for dessert on a weekday and some jelly desserts on the weekends. They have all the stuff to make a good sauce for your meats! You'd leave stuffed and happy!“

“So good! Came here with my friend for dinner; I ordered shrimp tempura sushi (which was absolutely delicious), and my friend ordered miso ramen (seen in picture). While the food was amazing, the service was even better. We were greeted as soon as we walked in, and were treated so kindly for our entire meal. Very nice and neat place, super lovely overall. Thank you for a great experience! We will definitely be back more often.“

“Chef Ge restaurant left a lasting impression with its authentic and boldly flavored dishes. The fried pork with pineapple was a delightful blend of natural sweetness, and the Master Ge Xiao Fry offered tender freshness with a balanced mouth-numbing sensation. The chicken with lotus roots & pepper was spicy, featuring tender, flavorful chicken and the added punch of pickled peppers—a must-try. While the Yummy braised pork belly lacked a distinct pork flavor, leaning more towards a deep-fried coating, it was still enjoyable. The restaurant's ambiance was flexible, in line with Chinese dining expectations. Overall, Chef Ge provided a satisfying culinary journey, showcasing a diverse menu with standout, memorable flavors.Parking: More parking space is at the right side of the building.“

“Cute mom and pop stop! Food is delicious, taste fresh and you can tell it’s cooked with love and care. I wouldn’t get Chinese from anywhere else in NB. You will NEVER be disappointed.. just be patient. The food is worth the wait. Crab Rangoon is the BEST I’ve ever had in my entire life,“

“Very nice atmosphere, a bit fancier than many Chinese restaurants. Most dishes are quite spicy - some in my family love these. But there are also some choices for those of us who prefer less spicy. My Chinese relatives consider the quality to be very high - one of the best restaurants in Central New Jersey.“

“Best Chinese take out around. Workers are nice and very fast. Food is large portions and while still of the fast food take out style it is fresh and tasty. Is it fancy, no but you can do much worse for take out Chinese food around this area.“

“Hands down one of the greatest Chinese restaurants in the Edison area. They’re so popular that on weekends there’s at least an hour long line out the door, but you have to reserve the seats in-person. 10/10 on the food and the atmosphere is always hustling and bustling. Enjoy!“

“This place is close to my wife's work location and gets good reviews for her. I have eaten here throughout the years was never disappointed. When we first started coming here, my body was still a toddler, now he is in graduate school, this place is still an old reliable stand-by. The setting is not the fanciest but either is the price. Even after COVID, the price change has really been very reasonable. The same family runs this restaurant seems like forever. There has to be a reason a Chinese restaurant can survive for twenty years with the same ownership. The food is well seasoned, with pleasant texture, and served fast. The best description for this outfit is liken it to a cup of Mom's chicken noodle soup, pure comfort food.“

“The food here was exceptionally yummy. I've recently been hesitant about ordering fish due to consistent disappointments elsewhere, but this place surpassed my expectations. Their flavor profile took me right back to the Goan style dishes I once loved. Definitely a must-visit restaurant!“

“Chopsticks never disappoints. The food amazing and the closest to the Indo Chinese taste we were used to India. The owners are very friendly and accommodating and prices are competitive. What more could you ask for?!!Chilli Chicken is my favorite and highly recommended.“

“Delicious twist on fusion food, with standout dishes like the tangy Manchurian. The atmosphere is casual yet inviting, perfect for a laid-back meal. Quick service and generous portions make it a hit. Definitely worth a visit for a taste of something uniquely flavorful!“

“I ordered the spicy beef stew. I am amazed at the complexity of the spice where, yes, it's spicy but tantalizing where I want to keep coming back for more bites. This is my first time here, and all I can say is wow! They provided me with white rice, a hefty amount of scallions, pulled beef, broth, egg pieces, and various ingredients. There is also this solid cold food in a lil cup that tastes like kimchi and it was refreshing respite to the spice afterwards. Would recommend 10/10?“

“The food is really good and the owner is very nice. I applied a coupon to my order which was not correct because of a computer calculation error but they provided the food anyway because I am a frequent customer. Excellent service and food, highly recommend.“

“Very authentic and good Northern East Chinese BBQ. Definitely deserve a rating higher than 4.5/5. I would give it a 4.8.I have been there 2 times in 2 weeks.?yeah that is how good the food is.?Very happy with everything we ordered.lamb skewers, chicken skewers, squid, mushroom, fish tofu, Taiwanese sausages, glazed eggplants, braised pork with glass noodles, etc... were all very delicious.Compared to other Chinese restaurants around, food portions and quality is amazing!The restaurant is small... so make sure to make a reservation and be there on time. (or you will need to join the wait-list.)Servers are friendly but not very polite?. but I get it, they are short staffed but packed with costumers. So I'm not too bothered by the manners.My only suggestion, maybe have a host/hostess upfront at the entrance to let people know how to join the wait-list or if they can be seated right away. When it gets busy,it is kinda confusing and chaotic.“

“I find it hard to believe I have not argued this place, maybe they changed businesses or owners and my old review is there. Which I can totally own because when I originally started coming here it was just sultan wok and now it is sultan wok/ Asian Express. This is my top choice spot for Chinese takeout locally. To the point where when they are closed and I want Chinese takeout, I just wait until they're open and get something else. My go-to is the general tso is chicken, with which I like to treat myself for lunch when I am working from home. Is this the best Chinese food I've ever eaten, I don't know. Does it satisfy the craving when I have it, absolutely. I would say there are days when I think their food is particularly better than others, without rhyme or reason, but I do tend to find their food tends to be better more often than it's not. Not. I also like when general tso chicken has a nice crunch to it and they tend to have better chicken than other places. I don't think I've ever had it and it'd be soggy unless I'm reheating it which does not count. The woman there tends to be very friendly. Who takes the orders, they have to have a system that gives the name of the customer because she always knows my name and greets him with a hello Mike when she answers the phone. Now if I ordered more regularly I could totally see her knowing my name. However, I do not order frequently enough for her to know who I am, which makes me think they have to have some sort of system. Either way it's nice or is she just that good at her job. All in all, I don't think you can go wrong. Getting takeout from here. I've tried some other spots in town with high recommendations and have been sorely disappointed. I hate soggy chicken and I've never gotten soggy chicken from here.“

“I like the food here,but the prices keep going up and the portions going down. They never put napkins or forks or spoons or condiments in the bag so make sure you ask when you pick up or order food for delivery. I think they have the best general chicken in the area. So I’d recommend overall.“

“Parking: There's little parking space on the street, but it's free and it's there. Though there's a time limit. Don't park in the street spaces if you are a student with a registered car, they will fine you for being in visitors' spaces.“

“Came here for a weekday lunch. The place is long and narrow with a few seats. You order at the counter and they bring the food out to you when it's ready. Ordered the pork belly baos, pork soup dumplings and beef noodles. The pork belly in the baos was flavorful and tender. The boas themselves were pillowy soft and it came with crushed peanuts. It was a good bao except I felt like it could use some sort of pickled vegetable to cut the richness. The pork soup dumplings were steamy and filled with a good amount of soup. I wish the soup was a little more flavorful but the meat itself was tasty and the skin was nice and thin. The beef noodles were full of flavor and came with tender beef and fresh noodles and veggies. Overall this is a solid option for Shanghainese food. The prices aren't bad and everything tasted pretty authentic and like it was made fresh.“

“I've been on the hunt for decent Chinese food for quite some time. Well, I finally found our new place! We never ordered from Rice Bowl before so we decided to try to large selection of food...chicken wings, wonton soup, egg rolls, beef with broccoli, bbq spare ribs, shrimp dumplings, mei fun, and shrimp in garlic sauce. It was delicious! I'm so happy to have found a Chinese restaurant that we enjoy!“

“When I lived on the Island I always looked forward to Kim's they make a great Garlic Sauce. It's been a while since I've had their food so I suggested ordering from them this past weekend while visiting my family. We ordered the Chicken w/ Garlic Sauce, small boneless spare ribs, dumplings/egg rolls and the Moo Shu Pork. Everything turned out great... certainly better than a lot of the options I have available in Manhattan.“

“I have tried A LOT of chinese takeout restaurants but this one is definitely one that I will stick with. I ordered for delivery from Cheng Garden and it was phenomenal. To start off the price was not bad especially with tax, delivery and tip included. the service was quick to deliver (the places I usually order from take about an hour). Secondly the food itself was everything I craved and so much more. It went beyond my expectations,, very fresh and delicious. Lastly, the packaging of the food was so unique and organized, it was just amazing. Definitely a place worth trying if you're craving good Chinese takeout!!“

“Their General Tso's chicken is amazing! I stop by there every Friday on my way home from NY and I love it! And sometimes I get delivery and they are always on time and the food is fresh and hot! I highly recommend this restaurant. And they have sushi too!“

“I cannot say enough good things about this place. The service, food and pricing are all exceptional! I actually found out this place from a coworker of mine and figured I would give it a go because I was in search of a different Chinese food restaurant to start ordering from. I won't name places, but when I first moved to the area in 2010 I went to a different place for a few years but their food quality went WAY down (and way before Covid so that can't even be the excuse). Then I found another place who's food I liked but after Covid their prices skyrocketed.So I gave this place a chance and so glad I did. The pricing is beyond reasonable, the food is always delicious and the service is always fantastic. The lady that takes the orders and takes care of the customers is SO friendly and appreciative.The only downfall is they do not deliver and I don't believe they have anything set up with GrubHub etc. So if you're not close to them, then it could be a hike to go pick up the food.But if you do, it'll be worth it ;)HIGHLY recommend!“

“The best sesame chicken I’ve ever had ! ?I need to know who made this . Because no way this tastes so good !! I’ve never had food from a Chinese restaurant that tastes like this . The sesame chicken had this nice flavorful sweetness to it that really did it for me ! Will be ordering again ?? thank you !“

“This spot is very good . It was a bit busy but got a seat fast . I got the chicken tikka which had great flavor also the staff is super friendly and helpful I think every person in the restaurant came to check on despite it being busy , will definitely be coming back .“

“We love ordering from Ocean Garden and do it weekly when our daughter takes dance class. The owners are super friendly, and the food is always fresh, hot and delicious. The price too is super reasonable, hands down our fav Chinese takeout spot in NJ. It’s authentic too, I am Chinese myself and I appreciate the effort they put into the food. We especially love the boneless spare ribs, dumplings, and the chow fun, the kids prefer this place than anywhere else we order. Support your local business!!“

“Today I came to this place, ordered the sesame chicken and it surprised me how good it was, the crispy texture and flavor was out of this world. And the food came out really fast so I didn’t have to wait as I was on a rush, 100% recommend for others!“

“Meemah Chinese, located in Edison, stands out for its exceptional taste and efficient service. As a family-run restaurant, the warm ambiance complements the delicious dishes. The flavors are unparalleled, offering an authentic taste of Chinese cuisine. Additionally, the quick service adds to the overall positive dining experience. Meemah is undoubtedly a go-to spot for those craving delightful Chinese flavors with prompt and friendly service.“

“We always enjoyed how hot (temperature) the noodle soups are! Best on a cold night!! We also love their cold dishes. However, we noticed the resteraunt has reduced the food quantity for each dish at least by 1/3 compared to wheen thèy first opened. Sad.“

“My family and I had lunch here today. We had: -chicken rice soup -wonton and egg drop soup -lemon chicken -sesame chicken -pepper steak -paradise shrimp The portions were huge and delicious. The staff was friendly and very efficient. We will be back!“

“Really good food. The lady at the counter was really kind and sweet! The scallion pancakes were good, and the taro boba tea was delicious and had a very good deal. The sesame chicken comes with fried rice and both were amazing too! Highly recommend going here!“

“J&P has very good Chinese food, the best in the area. This restaurant was 5 stars when they had waitstaff, simply awesome, but no more now, not sure why. The staff is not very friendly and does not really seem to appreciate their customers. If you don’t mind that, pay them a visit.Parking: Plenty of parking spots available for dine-in or takeout.“

“We have been going to Jinli for several years, even though it’s a 45 minutes drive from our house — we love the food and staff and have never been disappointed. The place has something for everyone and the flavors are authentic and delicious. Our favorites are Fish filet in Sichuan chili oil, cumin lamb and the kids love the sesame chicken! Strongly recommended for amazing Sichuan food for the whole family!“

“Lovely restaurant. My wife was working in the area and decided to pick up some take out for dinner; 2nd best decision she made in her life, next to marrying me ?. Everything tasted so fresh!!! They did not half a** anything. Their eggrolls are a must try, extremely fresh!We are originally from Brooklyn, NY, so we had our share of Chinese takeout… so if we are traveling 30 mins both ways for Chinese takeout, that should say a lot. This place does not miss ?? Hits the spot every time.“

“Me and my boyfriend have been craving authentic Chinese bbq skewers for a while and stumbled upon this place online. The waitress was very nice, but spoke very little english - the Chinese menu translations were pretty rough so we weren't too sure exactly what we ordered, but just went with it and hoped for the best. We were not disappointed and will definitely be coming back again to try some other things on the menu! Lamb/beef skewers: 5/5These honestly hit the spot - were probably the most authentic skewers I've had in the states EVER. Each skewer had a generous amount of meat and was perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection. We could not stop raving about these throughout the meal! Dongjia spicy hotpot: 5/5Although we were expecting a hot pot of soup, this dish more than made up for that. It is a dry hotpot dish with meat, veggies, etc. all piled into one pot. This dish was a little on the saltier side, but the mala flavor was prominent and was a good, flavorful follow up to the skewers from before. Tasty pork appetizer: 3/5This dish ended up being deep fried coated pork served with a side of dried spices to dip the pork into. We kind of ordered this on a whim without knowing what to expect and was the dish we probably would've swapped out for something else. The quality of the dish was not bad, just wasn't as good compared to the first two dishes. They do give a lot of pork for an appetizer dish, so we were able to take some home. We noticed halfway throughout the meal that every single table ordered this one dish and after looking up other reviews found out it was something called guobaorou - will add this to try next time we come back :)“
