10 Best Chinese Restaurants in Palisades Park

“Malamini is my go-to comfort food spot near home. Whenever I don’t know what to eat, I end up getting their malatang. The sesame sauce is especially good and really makes the bowl. Their ice cream is also surprisingly great. Simple, satisfying, and always hits the spot.“

“Visited New Jersey for the weekend, and this was one of the top restaurant recommendations from locals. It absolutely lived up to the hype.

Everything we ordered was delicious, but one of my favorites—unfortunately I forgot to take a picture—was the mixed vegetables. They tasted incredibly fresh with a subtle balance of sweetness and tangy citrus. It was the perfect palate cleanser and made me want to keep eating more skewers 😆

Highly recommend if you’re in the area!“

“Arguably the best mala dishes served in palisades park area. I wish they had more varieties / selection of ingredients for mala drypot or soup. But they have everything that you really need. Plus they got beef and lamb skewers which are well cooked and prepared.

I highly recommend to Guo Bao Rou“

“Lived in lodi for a year, china moon was right around the corner. I really miss this place since moving, they have amazing chinese food that is very affordable and always helped me when i was too tired to cook. Meals always have several portions inside, my favorite was the house special may fun.“

“This place serves some of the best jajangmyeon I’ve ever had. The noodles were perfectly chewy, and the black bean sauce was rich, savory, and full of deep flavor without being too heavy. You can really tell the ingredients are fresh and well balanced. Portions were generous, and the service was fast and friendly. Highly recommended if you’re craving authentic and delicious Korean-Chinese food!“

“I’ve been coming to this place for jajangmyun (noodles in brown sauce) for over 20 years with my family. Tang soo yuk as well as spicy pepper garlic shrimp are also main staples from their menu. The owner is very sweet and always wants her customers to enjoy their meal. Ask around anyone who’s lived around the Palisades Park area for years and they’ll tell you the same. Come give them a try and I’m sure you’ll feel satisfied!“

“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'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!“

“Compared to Yangji... automated bbq, also booth, almost room-like seating.
10 min for lamb skewers and beef. Very edible though. Wasn't as much fan of 곱창 (intestine) nor 오돌뼈 (cartlidge) but loved much else, gizzard, shrimp, chicken and more.
Cucumber salad and corn noodle also well-recommended and deservingly.“

“Good spicy foods, and friendly waiters“
