50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Tenafly

“I’ve been coming here from when I used to go to Tenafly Middle school. This place was my go to for after school snack.
Price is still amazing for lunch deals around $8~$12, portions are generous, and ultimately foods are great.
It’s been more than 10 years but I’ll still come to Tenafly just for Good Taste general chicken tsp combo.
Highly recommended.“

“Feel like chinese or Japanese? you will be satisfied with both. Great ambience and services. Bring your wine. The best in town. A delight, including my waiter John, who treats me like a Queen.“

“Authetic korean restaurant serving some good Tang Soo Yook! Very nicely fried and portion is generous! we also tried their seafood jjampong and it was good. I bet the heat is even perfect during colder weathers! I would love to come back and try their jajang. so hopefully soon.

Inside was clean and spacious and service was very good. We were asked if we wanted tea or water which I appreciated. we also had some fried pork left which we got to go and the staff gave us extra sauce! we felt so welcomed.“

“The noodles are amazing, and every dish is customizable. I love the scallion ginger, but I've had other flavors too. I ALWAYS get the seitan, it is so good! I think they make the seitan in house, there's something unique about the texture.“

“Ate there yesterday for the first time. What a find! The food is excellent, staff is wonderful, pricing is great. I loved how clean everything was. Enjoy!“

“Everything is good“

“Newly opened Chinese Restaurant along 3rd Ave. Expect Manhattan prices; though serving is plentiful. Get the Lunch Special for the most banging for your buck, Lunch specials available even on weekends. Overall, if you want better food than your hole in the wall Chinese restaurant, this is a nice treat.“

“I’m impressed by the taste and quality of the food—it’s pretty authentic! The only downside is the music: they’re playing rap Loud in the kitchen and pop in the dining area at the same time. It’s distracting, and I honestly don’t know how the staff can stand it.“

“Had an amazing experience at this PF Changs, our server Greg was extremely attentive and friendly. Love it here! Make sure to get the crab wontons as an app:)“

“The seafood is awesome. The stuffs are polite & friendly“

“Fantastic Cantonese food. Like having old-school Mott Street in the neighborhood. Great dim sum, terrific roast meats, and a+ noodle soups.

Update: talk about obscura, they serve seremban siew pau as part of their weekend dim sum! Delicious!“

“This was literally so good and affordable! So many yummy vegetarian protein options, my favorite being tofu skin of course. Spice level 3 is very spicy, I don’t even know how people go up to 4 or 5 (you are brave!). The interior is so sparkly clean and service was 10/10. Recommend !!“

“We were staying at the Tarrytown house estate and decided to visit Goosefeather for dinner, not having any idea about the restaurant other than that it was located on-site. As Chinese-style martial artists, we were pleasantly surprised to see the Cantonese -fusion menu options as we walked in. Unfortunately, we did not have reservations, but we were able to sit at the bar. What an auspicious turn of luck! The bar offers not only the full menu, but the chance to watch professionals at their craft. We were taken care of by Mariana and Sara, who were busy yet still highly attentive. They were very knowledgeable about the menu, and explained everything even before our questions had a habce to leave our lips. We started with some standard drinks (a spicy martini, and one of their mocktails with Ron Zacapa rum added in). Solid pours, balancing the flavors of the drinks with adequate alcohol to keep things fun). Next week ordered the spicy rice cakes and the potstickers. Each was perfectly done. The potstickers were crispy but not burnt, and paired with a just-right spicy Chinese mustard. There were four per serving, which served to whet out appetites while leaving us waiting for more. Next, we got the spicy rice cakes. These were just hot enough to let the tongue know, but the spice built pleasantly. The plate was pretty big, and the two of us had more than one or two helpings each. Finally, we had the Crying Tiger Tuna. The lightly seared and seasoned tuna was paired with avocado salad, pickled gooseberries, and sweet goji berries. Delicious! To cap it off, we switched up our drinks for two of their signature cocktails. Sweet emotion is a pumpkin espresso martini with a smoky bubble of deliciousness in top. Love in an Elevator is a wild rum ride of flavors I'd never think to blend, such as apricot, chocolate, and lemon. Overall, while pricey, the experience, the food, and the atmosphere made it worth it! As a bonus, we were watched over by a really cool portrait of Bruce Lee!“

“I really like Lucas Sin, so I was expecting this place to be a little more. My expectations aside, the staff was overworked even after 8:30pm, but they were still courteous. I would say this place would still rank much better than Panda Express (there's one down the street), given that this is kind of like a make-your-own type of place (think Sweetgreen, DIGG, etc.) but with a proper Chinese flair (again, contrast with Panda Express).

I would say that the seating area was a little not well-maintained, but you are served with a bowl used for a take-out anyway, so just take it to a place you feel more comfortable eating.

Vegetarian options: Build-your-own, others are clearly marked on the menu.

Dietary restrictions: Vegan.“

“This place is excellent! I love the vibe. I felt so relaxed. The food is very good and the service is even better. My server Eric was very attentive to my needs and served me with a smile. He’s great! I’d highly recommend. I also love their ordering system. You order on a tablet and send the order to the kitchen with the click of a button.“

“Food is excellent! Service is great.“

“LOVE LOVE LOVE OLLIE’s !! The food is always consistently great!! #LoveChineseFood Super friendly staff!!!“

“The best and most authentic Chinese beef noodle soup I’ve had in a long time. Flavorful broth, tender beef, and perfectly chewy noodles.

The service was incredibly fast — they brought my food out within 10 minutes of ordering. Absolutely delicious.

I would also recommend the bitter melon for hot summer days.“

“Affordable and insanely tasty soup dumplings (xiao long bao). The scallion dumplings are a who other level too. Not sure why their overall score is mid. It’s not a high end but isn’t that the point. Mid interior. Staff are helpful and completely on bothered by hoopla over their yummy food. Chow mein and beef with scallions also memorable. Kid friendly.“

“Great food and great service. The food reminds me of home and is reasonably priced. We keep coming back for the ox tail stew, ribs, beef steak, porkchops, dumplings and the boneless chicharonnes de pollo. Most meals are served with white or yellow rice and beans or vegetables. If you want to try something different, they have the beef liver and squid ink fried rice which remind me of squid ink Paella. The combination meals are a great option to try out different dishes. The staff and owners always greet you with a warm welcome.“

“Very fresh, authentic Chinese cuisine. Service was good (slow at first), but friendly and attentive. So glad to have a good Chinese restaurant in the neighborhood!“

“This place is a gem. They are literally the best chinese food I have ever had. I love how the owner really makes you feel like family . He will always remember your face and greet you like his friend. They take thier time to get to know you and ask how you are doing. I have never once had a bad experience and everytime the food taste amazing.“

“Good ambient Good food Great services love this restaurants“

“I love this Chinese spot, the food is delicious, I drive down this spot to get my fave lunch special even though I have a chinese restaurant near me. It's the sauce for me.

Parking: Lots of parking spot that are free“

“It can be challenging to find a General Tso’s chicken dish that prioritizes quality chicken, but this place exceeds expectations. I’ve visited twice, and each time, the General Tso’s chicken has been outstanding—perfectly cooked and flavorful. The dish pairs wonderfully with the pork fried rice, which is fresh and well-prepared. Additionally, the lo mein is exceptional, offering a rich, savory taste. This spot is highly recommended for anyone seeking delicious, high-quality Chinese cuisine. A must-try!“

“I grew up in Fort Lee, where amazing Chinese food is the standard so I don’t say this lightly: Wang’s completely blew me away. I came in with high expectations and left genuinely speechless. Everything from the first bite to the last was perfection.

The flavors were incredibly fresh, balanced, and full of depth, the kind of cooking you can only get from people who truly know and love what they’re doing. The ingredients tasted high-quality, the portions were generous, and the attention to detail was unreal. Even the classics tasted elevated, every dish felt thoughtfully crafted, not just thrown together.

On top of that, the service was warm and attentive without being overbearing, and the atmosphere was inviting and comfortable. You can tell Wang’s takes real pride in what they do, and it shows in every aspect of the experience.

I’ve eaten at some of the best spots around the area and beyond, and this place still managed to blow my expectations out of the water ten times over. If you’re looking for authentic, unforgettable Chinese food, this is it. Wang’s is the real deal.“

“Best First Date Place in NYC 🩷“

“Su was amazing! I traveled up from the East Bronx for the best Chinese take out I’ve ever had. My Uncle referred me here and I can’t imagine eating from anywhere else now. I was made to feel so special just for making such a huge order and trip but it was worth it!“

“Excellent, excellent place. We always go when in the area. Well run restaurant served by the incredibly nice owners - very authentic food. Delicious soup dumplings, fried dumplings and one of the most delicious Asian meals I’ve ever tried - the Shanghai noodles (with beef and bok Choy) - bursting with smoky flavor. I also really like the string beans with pork and the eggplant dish. They also have hot pot soups - you pick all the ingredients and it loos good but didn’t try. Very affordable place as well. And they have outdoor seating. And parking. Can’t go wrong.“

“Hands Down, this is the best Chinese Takeout in the area.“

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting your local business, and the experience was outstanding. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring I felt valued from the moment I walked in. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the products offered. The quality of the goods was exceptional, clearly crafted with care and attention to detail. Overall, it was a delightful experience that I would highly recommend to others.“

“I’m in the team of little pepper!“

“This is hands down the best charcoal-style Chinese BBQ skewer spot in the U.S.! We’ve been multiple times and it never disappoints. The meats are always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, and the service is consistently excellent.

Parking can be a bit tricky, but it’s a small inconvenience for such an amazing dining experience—it doesn’t affect my five-star rating at all. Truly a hidden gem. Highly recommend!“

“One of the more unique place in the Bronx. Its actually a hidden gem and I'm surprised it hasnt gone viral. If youre asian and dont speak spanish here, they're gonna mess with you.

Parking: if youre not local, its best to just uber or take the subway here. Not really worth getting your car messed up or waste time driving around to find parking.

Kid-friendliness: kid friendly. space is limited.“

“We were in the area and wanted some Chinese food, so we looked around the area and saw that this was one of the higher-rated places. I also noticed that they only take cash and do phone orders. We called on the phone, placed our order, then made our way over. We paid in cash and got the food. I ordered the boneless spare ribs combination platter, which comes with a roast pork egg roll and roast pork fried rice. We also got a small wonton soup. The boneless spare ribs were really good, striking a good balance between the sweet and savory that boneless spare ribs typically have. The roast pork egg roll was delicious and savory. Everything else, though, was not as good. The roast pork fried rice was pretty bland, as were the wontons and the broth that the wontons came with. For the price, though, it was reasonable, so I am not too upset.“

“Excellent Northeastern Chinese food, (not like any from your typical Chinese restaurant.) A great variety of food, including home made dumplings, BBQ skewers, eggplants, pork, beef, packed with flavor and spice . All the dishes were served hot and well prepared. The owner/manager was very friendly, welcoming and made great recommendations. All 9 of us were extremely happy with our orders.“

“Great cheap eats here, I and my girl went on a lunch date and she had about 3 plates and she eats but not that much so I knew the food was good, I had about 3 full plates myself, 15$ each and it's completely worth it. The space is a little tight but seating is comfortable enough to enjoy your meal and time.“

“Hands down one of the best spots in Harlem. The Handpulled Noodle never misses — the noodles are fresh, chewy, and made right in front of you. Every bowl feels like a warm hug with serious flavor and spice that hits just right.

The lamb cumin noodles? Unreal. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the staff keeps things moving with great energy. Whether you dine in or take it to go, it’s always hot, flavorful, and made with care.

This place is a true Harlem gem — comfort food, culture, and craft all in one bowl. 10/10 recommend.“

“Been ordering from here for years but haven't in a while...I got lunch for a few of us at the office today and everything was great. Hot, on time, and they added lots of mustard and sauce packets like I asked in the special instructions, and sodas came COLD. House special soup has plenty of meat and the pint of wonton egg drop soup comes with 3 big wontons. Coworker said the egg foo young was really good, and the brown sauce was better than most take out places.“

“They have delicious authentic Chinese food! I think here is the only place sells not only American Chinese food but also authentic ones in this area. I always go to Manhattan or Flushing for this 🫠 but they have it! I tried their dry pot and it was delicious! I felt like they tried not to make it too spicy but it was still delicious but I’m sure I can ask them to make it more spicy if I want next time.
I truly enjoyed the flavor and want to try again! 👍🏻“

“Delicious Peruvian and Chinese food. The service is very attentive.“

“Extremely delicious and authentic Chinese food. As a white person who grew up in Fuzhou, China, this place instantly reminded me of my hometown. The flavors dance on my tongue like a beautiful ballet and my mouth is enveloped in heavenly textures. I seriously recommend this to EVERYONE. As someone who is currently living in Flushing, Queens, I drive to here every week with my wife and two kids. One time my kid didn't like the water the restaurant served, so of course I had to use the kung fu I learned to discipline them. Anyhow, this has to be the best restaurant on Earth. Give this restaurant a try and you won't regret it.“

“Best chinese food around. Been here since high school and friends/family from out of state and country that stay over always ask to eat from here. Why? Sounds crazy? Because its the best chinese food! Add that to the fact that its family owned and the family is wonderful, kids are always helping and they are always sweet. That's why it's busy.“

“By far the best Chinese I've eaten in the Bronx! If you don't believe me just try it!! Might look a lil sketchy but who doesn't love a hidden gem, don't forget to try the Extra Cold Ice Tea n Lemonade ask for it Extra Cold!“

“I was wrong about this place. I was used to the deep fried pork chop over rice dish and they do it a little different but I tried today some black bean noodles with a grilled chicken leg and a fish fillet over rice platter, and - this meal was so good it made me a little upset it was a weird experience. For the price the amount of food I got and how well it was cooked, this place serves food that belongs in a fancy sit down restaurant.“

“This is a great location. Service is great plus it’s always busy. My theory is, when you visit a panda express location that’s busy. The food is being consistently made. So you’ll get fresh made food every time. Versus going somewhere that has no foot traffic. The food is sitting under a hot lamp for a while so it won’t taste that great.“

“Was nearby and needed lunch and was in the mood for Chinese and saw the reviews on this place and decided to give it a try. Asked for special order of Beef and Broccoli with garlic sauce, no problem attitude! Food was great and ready in no time! Would come back for sure.“

“I have been coming here for years. They operate from two locations. This one and the one on 3rd Avenue. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. The prices are reasonable. The place is immaculately clean. This is a place that both my family and I enjoy.“

“My son loves Chinese food. He said the lunch I got from Dragon 89 was amazing.

Their pricing is very good: we got to have a soup, pork or vegetables fried rice, and a dish for under ten dollars. My son kept commenting that he thought the lunch was really good and it probably took the chefs a long time to prep. The staff were friendly and worked diligently there.

My son loved their shrimp with mix vegetables, shrimp chow mein, chicken with string beans, beef with bean curd (it had mix vegetables too).“
