50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Marlboro

“Amazing resturaunt!!! Our waitress Vicky made our incredible experience even better!! Would highly recommend!!“

“Stopped in for lunch while out on some errands. Food came out quickly and was delicious - General Tso chicken had just a light breading, which set it apart from others I've had. The owner was friendly and courteous, and even brought us out a plate of watermelon, which was great on a hot, muggy summer day. Will be back!“

“We have been ordering from here for over a year now, after trying so many places around here this one hit all of things I look for in a Chinese take out place. The food is delicious EVERY time. We have ordered so maby things...its all good. They actually have their own delivery drivers, which is rare nowadays, they are very accomodàting with regards to special requests and substitutions. They are also very REASONABLY PRICED for this area. Lastly, their complimentary fried noodles are not those thin generic ones. I think they make their own and they are very good. 🙂“

“This used to be our go-to Chinese restaurant whenever we're in town; however, sometime during the Pandemic the ownership changed. We took out a few dishes from the new ownership and were utterly disgusted with the quality. It's been a few more years. I am not sure if ownership changed again, but we decided to give it another chance.

I didn't recognize the owner - not sure if it was because of the absence of mask. But first impression was she didn't care to be cordial or friendly, just doing the basic part as a wait staff. On the plus side, the chairs and tables have been upgraded from what I could remember. We ordered our usual dishes in order to gauge the current quality. 2 staple Sichuan dishes: Kung Pao Chicken ($14.95)and Shredded Beef with Hot Green Pepper ($17.95). We also added a noodle dish: Sauteed Noodle with Pork & Scallion ($11.95).

Kung Pao Chicken was rendered differently - sweeter and not as dark but tasty neve the less. The Shredded Beef was also slightly different, thicker and obviously tenderized with baking soda. It was good enough. The sauteed noodle was good but it's a generic dish so no authenticity to consider.

A number of deviations from before. The chicken and beef dishes each only 1 bowl of rice, instead of a big serving bowl for the table. We had to ask for one additional bowl of rice. Not sure if it was missed but we didn't get charged for it. The tea also wasn't complimentary any more. $1.50 for the pot.

Overall, we weren't disappointed because we came in with low expectation. We will be back again hoping to see that they can maintain the consistency in food quality.

———————— 2018 Review
If you have 2 or more guests, I'd highly recommend ordering #712 Noodle w/ Meat Sauce Beijing Style as an appetizer to share. The texture of the noodle was out of this world! We also had Fish Fillet w/ Pickled Cabbage in Hot Pot (#949) which was A+++. It's more like a fancy soup dish, but it also had the clear noodles in the soup. We also tried #946a Short Ribs & Bitter Melon in Black Sauce, which also had the same clear noodles in it, so it was a bit of a clash with the hot pot. Personally, I didn't think the noodles belonged in the dish, but the short ribs were still exquisite. Finally, we had our usual staple, Kung Pao Chicken which I need to caution emphatically to watch out for the unground peppercorns. I chewed on one and that ruined my palate for next next 10 minutes.

We over ordered but that's the way we like it - get to sample more varieties and get to doggybag for the next day :) We love it here!“

“Went there to eat for Chinese New year. Been going there for a couple of years. this will be my last time. The place was empty for a New year does not like he previous years. had to wait to get in to eat. I can see why. The food was cold, send back to warm it up. Then they rush you out they got their money and get out. While i was eating the waiter started cleaning off the table while I'm not finished eating. Food not worth the money. not good like in the past. Not sure what happen to this place but its heading in the wrong direction“

“Love their Bento boxes!!!“

“Good location to enjoy dinner with family and friends. Service was good but orders came in little slower despite not many occupied tables. Everything we ordered was good but orange chicken surprisingly came without any sauce on chicken. It seemed more like chicken nuggets or popcorn chicken with slices of Orange. Overall was a good experience though.

Dietary restrictions: They do have vegetarian and gluten free options

Parking: This location is close to the mall and there are plenty of parking spots but may not always find something close to the restaurant.“

“I haven't ordered from here in years but since I'm sick at home decided to get something delivered. I ordered online so it was easy. I am so pleased! The food arrived within 30 minites and was piping hot! The hot & sour soup is full of flavor and veggies and mushrooms. It is exceptionally tasty. I ordered steamed wontons in garlic sauce and love these! I think these are amazing! I might be addicted to them. The egg roll is crispy and perfectly done. I haven't tried my chicken lo mein yet because I am saving it for dinner. But I had to review this before I have a food coma lol ? Thank you. Sultan Wok. You made me happy ?“

“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 ordered takeout today and it was fabulous! For some reason I thought that the menu was just dumplings and never looked further but it is so much more! The quality and completeness of my order was refreshing. I got the Bao Entree Deluxe (with no green peppers), the Pepper Steak for my green pepper loving friend, and the Bao Sampler platter (came with 2 dipping sauces). I also got 10% off the next order :). I also did not feel hungry 2 hours later which seems to always happen to me with chinese food and I don't get it often. I will definitely be back to order agian very soon!“

“Fantastic food and a great atmosphere!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Finally discovered a 5 star take out! Every dish we have ordered is full of flavor! Every dish is freshly made, you don't have that full and exhausted feeling after eating. Service is impeccable! Fast delivery! So glad a friend recommended this place!“

“The food is good but when I walked in and saw those poor fish in a tank that is too small for them it really upset me. You need to get a bigger tank and a canister filter like the Fluval 407. It will keep the fish smell down and a bigger tank would be beneficial to the fish. It just broke my heart. If you can't take care of them find them a good home.“

“This is my favorite American-Chinese takeout spot in NJ! The owners are very nice, the food comes out quick, and the quality is good. I've tried other Chinese takeout places in the area, and China Wok is the only one that I've been satisfied with. I love their Crab Rangoon and like to get Beef Chow Fun. All their dishes taste good for the price. It's a nice local spot to order from when you're looking for American-Chinese takeout!“

“Golden Bao is always great! The food is always prepared well and quickly. I have seen them working during very busy rushes and it is incredible how many orders they accomplish at once. I have also yet to experience an order mistake and I will order once a week for me and my staff. 10 out of 10.“

“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.“

“So good! fresh food! I am allergic to shell fish and alot of times stuff get cross contaminated ,not this place!! The food is so good !!! first time there ,this is now my Chinese food restaurant.“

“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.“

“Surprising we hadn’t tried this place all these years living here as it was a lovely lunch we recently had.

Famous Freddy served us and treated us like long lost friends even though it was our first time. Table service is nice with tablecloths and a nice decor. Our special requests were accommodated and Freddy regaled us with lively conversation.

We enjoyed the cold sesame noodles, the sauce a little on the loose side for my taste but it was fine otherwise. Vegetable Lo Mein was as expected and the General Tso’s tofu was also very good. I prefer a different style for the sauce(darker/spicier) and tofu(firm ripped pieces vs soft cubes) but I’ve had this style before as well and it’s fine.

Addl hot sauce was provided and overall we enjoyed the meal.“

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

“Best lo mein in the area. I get mine with roast pork. This was my secondary place after House of Chong, also in Middletown, which has unfortunately been lacking lately. Tai Hing just moved up to number one. They are cleverly closed on Tuesdays instead of Mondays, since so many restaurants are closed then. The prices are also really fair and a good value. I’ll get a picture next time, I scarfed it all down too quickly LOL.“

“If you're in the Matawan/Cliffwood Beach area, come check this place out. Great food and the staff is super nice“

“The food is really great. Big portions and better than other Chinese restaurants in the area as well as surrounding counties. We have gone there many times. Suki is nice, hospitable and makes the dinner enjoyable.“

“Online ordering was easy and simple.
But online receipt and actual receipt have $1 difference. Be Aware.
Delivery took about 50 mins but food were still good.
So far, best Chinese delivery food around this neighborhood.“

“I ordered dragon phoenix, vegetable lo mein, and sesame wonton, and they were all so delicious with the sesame wonton being so flavorful and the jumbo shrimp from the dragon phoenix taste so fresh and the chicken with white meat tastes so juicy and crunchy with great flavor

Vegetarian options: Veg lo mein and mix veg are both really good“

“I have been eating here for a while now, as I have eaten at other places for asian food, I find this place to be the best in the area. Boneless ribs, Lomein, sweet n sour chk all good.“

“I have been ordering from Golden Star for awhile now...for a local Chinese takeout/delivery they are very very good... Their food is always good, fresh and delivered quickly...even if they say 35 minutes it is at your door in 20. They accommodate special menu requests with no problem and offer lunch specials and have coupons. I really cannot say anything negative...if you're looking for a local chinese spot please look no further!!!“

“The food is very good, always fresh, and never oversalted. NO MSG here! The family who runs this establishment is very kind and accommodating if you alert them to food sensitivities or if you must adhere to a special diet. If you are gluten free your choices may be limited, but there are a good number of options. Extremely clean kitchen.“

“I drive out of my way to come here. Big chunks of chicken with a thin coating. Chicken fried rice has huge pieces of chicken, but needed a little more flavor. The egg and shrimp rolls have a good amount of flavor. Ordered the Singapore noodle and it had sugar added and what seemed to be cinnamon, so ask for ingredients before ordering. Clean, takeout only right now.“

“Their food is not oily. It doesn't taste like old oil. The only way I can describe the food is that it tastes clean. I don't usually eat fried rice, but when I tried theirs, I loved it. highly recommend place. I didn't feel bloated and sluggish after.“

“Stopped in with My Better 3/4 and Was So Surprised On Taste,Quality and Service...Room to Improve...Senior Discount...PLZ...THANK YOU FOR A GRAND MEAL...Stay Blessed...>&<🙏🖖“

“Very good Cantonese cuisine, one of the best in America“

“Amazing food and service, also great prices. They are fast to deliver as well.“

“General Tso’s chicken was crispy and perfectly done, right amount of spice level for me, few freshly steamed broccoli and white rice cooked to deliciousness! With one spring roll (we split the order, there were two) all and all, great lunch.“

“Just ran into them tonight on my way back from work. I love the type of sauce they do for their beef n broccoli. The rice is a little minced but I'm not tack any points just cause of thats.. it's still very fresh. I'm a chicken noodle soup guy. Start with the broth because you tell right away how it's gonna go. Broth very tasty. The chicken was fine and honestly the noodles were nice and al dente. I understand it's not an Italian place but that's how I like my noodles. Good stuff guys and I'll be back“

“We were planning a big party at our HOA and after trying almost a dozen Chinese Restaurants, that did catering, we tried Cheng Garden.
We knew we'd found gold when every dish we tested tasted like what we ordered, instead of all having one flavor. The chicken, beef & pork were tender and not fatty, the vegetables were fresh and crispy and the flavors were delightful.
They couldn't have been more helpful or pleasant to deal with and their prices were right in line.
On the day of the party, all the trays were ready for pick up at the specified time, packed in boxes and piping hot. One box was accidentally left behind and Cheng Garden immediately ran it over.
But the best part of all was that everyone loved the food. The party was in June and we're still getting great reviews and members requesting Cheng's address.
We're so glad we found Cheng Garden!“

“Best Chinese food around! I called by phone and the woman that took my order was so friendly. I was surprised that they had general tso tofu and scallion pancakes (it wasn’t on the menu, but it was available to order).Everything was piping hot, fresh, delicious, and prepared quickly! Ming’s Garden, you have a new customer :)“

“The BEST gluten-free chinese food you will find in NJ! It's worth driving to.

I've never had any issues eating here and I am very sensitive to gluten.

The food tastes great, the service is very good, and the prices are reasonable.“

“The food was ok. Similar to other places. Had the steamed dumplings and general tso's lunch special. The special came with hot and sour soup and vegetable fried rice as I ordered. The fried rice was good. The soup v was tasty, but a little bit too sour compared to many others I have had. The general tso's chicken was very good and had a nice spice to it. A nice surprise was the chicken was white meat.“

“This is my 2nd favorite Chinese Buffet. The one that beats it is in Zanesville, Ohio. The food trays are filled/refilled frequently so everything is generally fresh and tasty. And if anything is running low, the service staff responds promptly to meet your needs. As an added benefit, prices are reasonable and competitive for the area.“

“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.“

“Accepted my take-out order 10mins before closing, and I arrived 3mins before 10pm. Thank you!!! Was craving my a combo after working late. Food is amazing as always, their General TSO’s is closest to Wah Mei in Port Monmouth in whole area. Would Recommend!“

“My husband and I were craving Indian so we decided to try this place. Firstly, picking up it was the nicest customer service. The man was so personal and friendly, it was like walking into a family restaurant. He gave me a tea, some yummy dessert and he didn’t even want to accept money for it.

Secondly, we devoured everything. It was all so delicious and it filled us all up. We got three things but the chicken tikka was amazing.

Overall, I would highly recommend ordering from here. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Best chinese food in the area! Being from NY, I've always had trouble finding good chinese takeout spots in NJ since they're very often bland or overpriced. I'm so happy I found Jumbo. The food is great, the portions are a good size and the prices are reasonable. My husband and I order from here at least twice a month and we're never disappointed.“

“The best Chinese food in Monroe. And I'm from Brooklyn so I know good Chinese food.“

“The Food At The Golden Wok Is Delish, Chicken Wings, Fried Dumplings, Ribs, House Special Fried Rice.Omg All the Food Is Really Good. An The Owners As Well As The Workers Are Very Friendly!! Highly Recomended“

“I haven't actually been inside the restaurant but I have ordered takeout. The food always arrives quickly and the delivery persons are always friendly, courteous and polite. It's very rare that I've ordered anything that I don't have to add anything to salt or pepper soy sauce duck sauce that type of things, but I haven't had to add anything to enhance the flavor of their food everything I've ordered from there has been just perfectly delicious!!! The one dish that I've absolutely fell in love with is there shrimp noodle soup! It's packed with noodles and they're not stingy with the shrimp! And the gravy that comes with their Egg Foo Young is exquisite. I've decided that every time I order (and mind you I really don't like to experiment when it comes to food) but I'm going to try at least one thing that I have never tried before. So far I've had the house special fried rice, the house special lo mein, the house special egg foo young, the chicken noodle soup, the egg drop wonton mix soup and again I'm going to mention the shrimp noodle soup. The rice is perfectly done that comes with the egg foo young. Anyway I just want it to get my opinion on what I think is great takeout. One day soon I'm going to actually go and dine in. I'm quite sure it will be a pleasant experience.“

“Liu's Garden has some of the best Chinese food in Central Jersey. They have an expanded menu with nice mixture of meat and vegetarian options. There online ordering is good in capturing most of the menu and allows for additions or changes. There is a small convenience fee for online orders though.“
