50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Palisades Park

“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!“

“For what I ordered (steamed chicken with broccoli - garlic sauce on the side for dipping as you like - or don't), it's very good. The chicken when steamed (if it is good) is how you can measure if the restaurant is any good and it defintely passed the test. Most other Chinese restaurants chicken when steamed (with no sauce on it and eaten) will taste gamey and just not edible in my book. This was NOT the case.
Other than that, the parking is non existent in the later hours till closing in front of the restaurant as the parking is shared with tenants of the building above and other restaurants in the same location. Not good for being on route 5 I can assure you, but still doable.
Lastly, I know it's a Chinese restaurant, but they rush you off the phone when ordering without you finishing a thought or a sentence. I ABSOLUTELY HATE THAT.
Have one more minute of patience and you might make more money per order. An extreme turn off when ordering anywhere really.
Lastly, NO DELIVERY.
Take this all into consideration and see if it's right with you. Any updates as to all items ordered, I will update here shortly. Happy food hunting....
***This is strictly an order to pick up type spot as the inside seating is small and needs a refresh if you ask me and some cleaning.“

“I have even Chinese my entire life and I have to say I finally found a delicious place and they’re open late amazing I go there every single day or every other day for green beans and garlic sauce they are just amazing friendly cheerful foods always on point just awesome I’ll give it 10 stars five is a little lowfor me who was looking for a good Chinese place for a while and they’re open late I mean till 11 that’s crazy that’s amazing“

“I’ve tried in store and takeout (Jjajangmyeon, jjampong, 탕수육, 깐풍새우). The food is amazing and portions are okay compared to the price. The only thing is when it gets really busy like around noon, it gets very crowded in the small space.“

“Was here 3 weeks ago with 4 girlfriends. The food we ordered were delicious and loved that the skewers rotated itself once they were placed.

If you are plan on eating a lot of skewers (particularly lamb) I suggest coming in pairs or small group of 3. While the menu states there's a minimum piece order, it doesn't tell you, you are also capped at a certain amount of pieces when you order certain cuts (i believe it was lamb and beef?)

There was one dish in particular I loved and still think about - I don't remember the name but it was deep fried red chili and pork. It was so goooood! The owner was kind and explained when we asked why buy it would've just been nice to know at the very beginning or see it on the menu for full transparency because it caught us all off guard.

All in all, I would definitely go back and cap it to 3 people max so we can have the full skewer experience.“

“I'm a regular here. Jjajangmyeon is delicious. It doesn't taste like sugar and tastes like Miwon. It feels healthy, right? Anyway, it's delicious. It was like that for a while after the store moved, but it seems like it's back to its old taste. In particular, the Jjamppong sweet and sour pork is generous and the best in New Jersey!“

“I ordered it for delivery a few times, and the taste of the sauce and seasoning were just right for my taste, so I plan to order it again.

-What I liked the most were Nanjawans and Yoo Sanseul. The Yusanseul was delicious as it came out exactly as I expected, and the Nanjawanse was a bit perplexed by its appearance as the individual pieces of meat were more round-shaped than I expected, but the sticky meat inside and soft texture on the outside went well with the sauce. I enjoyed it.
-I didn't enjoy the Jjajangmyeon and Kkanpunggi as much as I did, but since I live about an hour away from delivery, I think there was nothing I could do physically to prevent the noodles from going bad or the batter from becoming mushy.“

“Incredible.

The fried pork tangsuyuk was so crispy, meat juicy, and sauce was good.

Service was quick, and nice.

I tried their egg flower soup, which is basically egg drop soup. It was advertised as spicy, but it wasn't spicy. Good starter.“

“Great oyster mushroom and rice rolls“

“very authentic Chinese restaurant. like the decor. service is 👍“

“This is an absolute local experience. It has 3 bar seats and a loud friendly funny guy taking orders. I came here for the congee which was basic but so flavorful and homey. I got the noodles which they are known for and they were outstanding! Chewy, umami and not the prettiest dish. I’ll sacrifice looks for flavor any day! I works say you must be a Sami brave eager to try it but it’s a place I’ll definitely crave in the future!“

“Hands down probably the best Chinese food in the city. I could eat here everyday.“

“Came here for my anniversary dinner and was blown away by Breeze (pun intended). Easily some of, if not the best Sichuan food we’ve ever had. I got the Winter Frost #2 cocktail and I wasn’t sure what type of flavor I was expecting but it didn’t taste like what I expected in a good way! The cocktail had a mildly sweet, light but depth in flavor profile.

The ginger sauce green beans were some of the best green beans I’ve ever tasted. The sauce they used was addicting. Second favorite item was the diced chicken with chili pepper, which was super spicy but absolutely delicious. But to be honest all of the dishes were home runs! I was just here last night and I’m already daydreaming about coming back to try more dishes.

Also the service was exceptional. The restaurant was full and there were only two guys to cover the front of the house (the hostess, waiter, bartender, and bus boy). They definitely had their hand fulls but still were efficient. Since it was our anniversary dinner they ended up surprising us with a pumpkin rice cake dessert on the house which we thought was the sweetest gesture. I couldn’t have been happier since I absolutely love rice cakes 😋“

“Antidote was such a great spot to have dinner on my visit to NYC. The wait was not too long considering there were 7 people in my party. We had so many items off the menu and the staff was very attentive to allergies and other food preferences. The tea smocked duck was incredible, the cucumber was amazing, the wontons were delicious! Everyone loved their dish it was absolutely a great dinner. The only downside was that some of the fish dishes were made with tilapia which is not a fish preference for most of the friends I was with. I will definitely be back and I highly recommend this restaurant“

“Spicy Village was a wonderful place to have a Christmas meal! Actually, I'd like to rename it "Spicy Cozy Village" if a spicy environment can also be cozy! To start with, they were very gracious by accepting a reservation for 8 people at 6:00. Then they came outside and took our order even before we sat down and so the food was nearly ready by the time we had taken our coats off! The festivities kicked off with a plate of crispy peanuts, which ended up being the chosen appetizer, main course, and dessert for the little guy in our party. We then progressed to delicious dumplings, sesame chicken, spicy lamb huimei, and other delectable specialties! What was so amazing about the experience is that despite packing lots of people into a relatively small square foot area, it did not feel claustrophobic at all; rather it was comfortable and cozy, like sitting at a big table for a family meal at your house (even if it was take-out!!). Overall, Spicy Village was a terrific place for Christmas dinner - and I'm strongly considering coming back here for the 8 days of Hanukkah too!“

“#豬肉腸加芫荽蔥 豬肉腸➕芫荽蔥係我一向響一記嘅叫法，暫時一記整嘅呢隻味道我已經食得好滿足，我唔需要轉住。😆  #一記 #nyc“

“A bougier twist on a lot of traditional Chinese dishes. The highlight of the meal was the braised pork belly, so melt in your mouth tender. Also don't miss the cucumber salad appetizer, I thought the flavors were unique and refreshing.“

“I was recommended this restaurant and took a chance on it as I was looking to diversify where I eat in Brooklyn. I ordered the chicken dumplings and fried rice with duck. Both were excellent and even for the lunch special, the portion of fried rice was too much for just one person. While the service wasn't particularly great, the food and prices were excellent.“

“Caught up with a dear friend, wanted to find some place not too loud that we could talk and catch up. We picked the right place, not too loud, the food was great, my friend really liked the drinks. We had a great time. Thank you and we'll ba back again.“

“I unfortunately get the hype…

The outer layer of the pineapple bun is super buttery and crispy and the the bun itself is soft and fluffy. The pork inside is tender and was sweeter than I expected but it pairs so well with the little saltiness on the pineapple bun crust.

Super addicting, super delicious! Great for a quick bite when in Chinatown!“

“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.“

“Ottimo ristorante di Ramen (giapponese e non quello "tarocco" o fatto con quello istantaneo del supermercato) che offre anche una fantastica selezione di ravioli. Prezzi tutto sommato accettabili per la media della città e acqua gratuita. Posto piccolo, accogliente, staff cordiale e velocissimo. Porzioni corpose quindi ordinate con cautela o non riuscirete a finire tutto.“

“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!“

“Yingtao is an awesome spot! The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made — every dish tastes authentic and perfectly balanced. The staff are super friendly and make you feel right at home, and the atmosphere is cozy but modern. Everything from the dumplings to the noodles was spot-on. Definitely one of my new favorite places to eat! 🥢🍜✨“

“Chicken, duck, pork, rice and cabbage—oh my. Super tasty. Out does everyone in the zip code. No exaggeration.“

“Everything is good“

“We found a new Chinatown favorite here… highly recommend! ❤️“

“Truly so good it hurts. I got the Little Pot Rice Noodle and I cried gladly the whole time I ate it. My (even less spice-tolerant) friend went crazy and ordered Schuan Style Spicy Chicken w. Peanut and she loved it. I got her some rice and sweet tea to save her between bites. The cucumber salad is also on the sweet side and a wonderful palate rescue between bites. “I just can’t stop going back for more!” High praise indeed. We’ll be back soon!“

“I came here for a friend's birthday dinner and we had an amazing time. The interior of the restaurant is spacious and I love the cozy but very Chinese decor. Our waitress was so nice, easy to talk to, and fun. The service was really quick.

We ordered hot and sour soup, peking pork, string beans, honey walnut shrimp, beef chow fun, short ribs, beef stew and radish casserole, and salted fish and eggplant casserole. Everything was delicious. My favorites were their peking pork, string bean, and casserole dishes. The honey walnut shrimp was good but the portions were okay for a group of 9. The beef chow fun was a great portion but I wish there was more flavor. Loved the short rib. They gave us complimentary watermelon at the end, as well as birthday flan for my friends and I. Had a great time and I think this is the perfect spot for some casual Chinese food with a big group of people (We got 10 dishes and the total ended up being only $240, post-tax for a group of 9! We all left STUFFED).“

“CASH ONLY and 100% hidden gem and worth all the support. Ambiance is not what makes an establishment worth a 2nd visit for me, the food is. Im sure others have already mentioned this is an out of the way hole in the wall hidden in a basement in Chinatown.. dumplings are very fresh and cheap and also available wholesale as well, 30 for $10 if I remember correctly. I had a an order fried and ate them standing outside on the sidewalk, but these nice people do have a few tables if you'd like to sit down. A very NYC foodie experience if you ask me and I will visit as often as I can! I truly appreciate that at least one of them speaks English. It is apparent that they are hardworking and very attentive to their customers despite their humble setup. I've received substandard service from better places than this, so for all these reasons I will be visiting as often as I can.“

“Why did it take me so long to try YGF? 🤯 This place is a gem! The restaurant is spacious, clean, and incredibly well-organized. I was impressed by the wide selection of fresh vegetables, proteins, and carbs — all customizable with your choice of soup or dry base for $16.99/lb. It’s easy to get carried away with so many delicious options!

My bowl came out to exactly a pound, and it was totally worth it. Flavorful, satisfying, and fun to build — I’m definitely coming back for more! 🥢🔥“

“good price for food. $12 for a beef noodle soup was not bad. the noodle was soft and thin, which im okay with. the soup was not so special but go well together overall. beef, veggie, soup,.. were all decent. the only thing that kinda surprised me was the food in plastic bowl. hopefully they’ll change it cause you dont want hot food go with plastic container.“

“Incredible Food. Incredibly attentive and professional staff. Instant favorite.“

“Chongqing Chicken is great!“

“Great experience, great food, great hospitality“

“Had a fantastic first experience at Corner Chinese!“

“This is great Chinese food, Hong Kong style. Their lunch specials are affordable, delicious and filling. For dessert I recommend the mango dish - it’s like a juice with grapefruit pulp and was refreshing and really delicious. Service was amazing.“

“Best LoMein I have ever eaten!! The steamed dumplings with the Chili Oil was out of this world! All the food was delicious and full of dynamic flavors. Service was stellar and the atmosphere was so welcoming. A total must!!!!

Vegetarian options: yummy

Kid-friendliness: very welcoming“

“tried the salty Duck egg fried rice with shrimp and it was full of flavor. must try!“

“The broth is clear and has a simple yet delicate flavor. The fresh ingredients are used, and the savoriness is like a Zen experience. The beef tripe is cooked in a way that preserves its true flavor, unlike the spice-rich ones you usually find at a dim sum place, which is very pleasant.“

“i’m so happy more people are discovering this spot. the first time i came here i was genuinely speechless because of how good the food was… had to run it back multiple tiimmessss!!!

i have no complaints whatsoever, 10s across the board!!“

“Outstanding.“

“Fresh and homemade Chinese food. An amazing cheff, cooking with passion and love. Highly recommended 💯“

“Great food, everything it’s delicious !!!“

“Went to Twilight Lounge yesterday as a group of 4 - we had a great time. When we got in, we immediately noticed the atmosphere - it wasn't too loud, and the decor was nice.

The surpassed our expectations though.

We ordered several things, the cucumber and wood ear appetizers, braised fish, crab and egg tofu, pork belly, bok choy, stir fried potato. I was surprised when all of the dishes were good - when ordering so many dishes usually there's something that's not well seasoned etc.

I enjoyed them all but was surprised by how good the bok choy was - tons of garlic, very flavorful and cooked just right.

The person serving us was also very nice.“

“Was pretty excited to see this place right next to my hotel. Ate twice before I left back home. 🍜 ramen was amazing“

“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.“

“Cash only.

This couple makes the absolute best food in town. Perfectly cooked and seasoned, large variety of options, from meats and seafood to mushrooms and vegetables.

Be ready to order, choose your spice level, and pay cash.

The couple is very friendly unless someone gives them a reason not to be.

Food is delicious and filling and will keep you ordering more and coming back with friends.“

“The food is consistently fresh and tasty. So happy to have an excellent Szechwan restaurant in a neighborhood where good Chinese cuisine is sorely lacking.“

“Hands down probably the best Chinese food in the city. I could eat here everyday.“
