We visited here for the first time yesterday for Valentine's Day. We sat near the front so with it being winter it was cold when the door would open. They should add another door at the entrance. We started off with Wonton soup. The flavor and texture of the meat and dumplings were delicious for me and I'm picky. The issue was the broth wasn't very hot. And it could use more flavor in the broth. Next the pan seared pork dumplings. They were delicious also and the dipping sauce tasty sweet and as it should be. I ordered the sesame chicken and it was a nice large portion of amazing white meat. As I said I am picky with texture and meat and this was the best I've had out for sesame chicken. That said, my meal was not hot for a fried dish. My dates meal was hot but lacked flavor it was like a garlic type sauce. He ordered the Bistro 3 delicacies. I still have it a 4 star because I've had terrible food before this just needs a little help and timing. I will chalk it up to being a holiday and busy. I will give them another chance though because it was a nice experience and food was worth it! :) read more

This is a reastaurant with friendly service and tasty food, with a few small quirks. We stopped at Beijing Bistro on a whim and had a pleasant overall experience. The server was extremely friendly, truly a standout, warm, attentive, and just wonderful throughout our visit. There was a slightly awkward moment at the entrance: a sign told us to wait to be seated, but no one was there to greet us. Instead, a man behind the bar called out from across the room to ask how many were in our party, then simply told us to "sit anywhere." It wasn't a big deal, but it felt a little off-putting and impersonal. As for the food: The wonton soup had good flavor but was just warm which was disappointing on a freezing cold day when a hot bowl of soup would have hit the spot. The pork bun and dumplings were delicious. The tea was also very good, and the overall service was prompt and efficient. It's a solid place with a friendly atmosphere and tasty dishes. Despite the small oddities, I'd say it's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. read more

We were Very disappointed in our meal. In the heart of Red Bank - we thought we would give it a shot- The food was not very good or tasty -very plain and was not hot at all. We thought it was possibly reheated and not very fresh. It was Not at all authentic Chinese and I ( we) left unsatisfied and a bit hungry. We ordered: pork dumplings ( which also came out cold) sesame noodles Another Chx dish Chx FR The decor was very worn-not updated and dreary. Not planning on going back anytime soon. read more

Excellent! We ended up here by accident, as Red Bank parking is so awful we couldn't get within blocks of the first choice. Parked right across from Tiffany, and walked right in was seated. The mixed appetizer platter had THE best satays I've ever had, thin wrappers on the frued dumplings, calamari and egg rolls above average. My main, ma po tofu-delicious AND a huge portion. Giant shrimp were also delicious. The room can get a bit loud though-but overall terrific. read more

The food was mediocre and not authentic, the service wasn't great, and the whole restaurant has no ambience. I would not recommend..... There are so many other options in Red Bank. Save your time and money. read more

The duck was really good, crispy skin. Everything else was just ok. If you come for the $15 lunch special it's a pretty good deal. Definitely not authentic, but good for Americanized Chinese fare. Clean space and service was good. read more

We've been going to this establishment for a couple of years now and consider it one of the better Chinese restaurants (not just take-out fast food) in the area. Food is tasty and plentiful. Ambience is fine. Service has always been good. read more

The best Chinese in Monmouth county! Extensive menu, amazing kind staff, and delicious food! They can accommodate gluten free / celiac which most Chinese places can't. Only place you can get gluten free fried sesame chicken in what feels like the whole country! Wish I could give them 10 stars!!! read more

Kind of a hidden gem amongst all the restaurants in Red Bank, Beijing Bistro is one of my favorites. Great asian fusion menu, of which I've tried many items. The pan-fried pork dumplings and pork belly steamed buns are my favorite apps, often ordering both for myself. I've had the peking duck several times, and although it's meant to serve several people, i often attack it myself, and simply go home with extra duck tacos for lunch the next day or two. The other popular favorites like pepper steak, sesame chicken, etc, are portioned for sharing, as well. The food stands out, but the service is also impeccable, and being a BYO, it is also extremely affordable, and my wife and I can eat like kings, bring home leftovers, and walk out for less than a c-note. Highly recommend read more

Excellent food, tasty & healthy!!! I've been there several times each time we ordered something different it was delicious!!! Highly recommended!!! read more

Our food was excellent. Atmosphere was nice..very clean. This is the only Chinese restaurant that I've ever been to that there wasn't noodles on the table for dipping. Our waiter was very good. Very accommodating. We will definitely be going back. read more

Food and service was Outstanding! Love the lunch specials, velvet shrimp and asparagus crab soup read more

They have several gluten free options that are very good. We did eat in last week and the service was excellent. We get take out a lot.

Incredible!!! Food was excellent!! Service was on point !! Highly recommend!!! Best Chinese food I've ever had !! Ambiance was exceptional!! read more

This is my second time feeling disappointed with Temple take out. When we order, we are very specific: steamed chicken & broccoli with sauce on the side. Both times we got home to find we had gotten chicken & broccoli sautéed with the sauce. When my husband went back to pick up what we had asked for, they asked him to bring back what he originally picked up-what were they going to do with food that had left their premises? My husband didn't want to drive home again to get the original food, so he ended up paying for the corrected order. This is so wrong. And it has happened to us twice. We will be ordering elsewhere from now on. Very disappointing. read more

Beijing Bistro - Steamed Chicken With Broccoli. - Chinese Near Me - Red Bank, New Jersey

Visiting Redbank and dined here for the 1st time. My wife and I both started with a delicious generous portion of soup. I will say that the wontons were amazing. We then shared the Beijing duck. It was outstanding and could have fed 3. As of 3/23, they did not have a liquor license. Although they do allow BYB which we did not know, no fault of theirs. Highly recommend if you are a duck lover. Watching the plates[fantastic portions] run by, made me believe their other dishes are outstanding as well. Great service. Sorry no photos. I was too busy stuffing my face! read more

From the name you'd expect a different Chinese Experience however what you get once there is a confused bistro that doesn't resemble much of anything exciting. I'm sure there are some Non-Americanized Chinese dishes but the menu is too small to accommodate a decent variety. Lacks atmosphere and no liquor license despite having a beautiful bar area. Not my cup of tea. read more

Talk about gourmet Chinese. Yes it's pricey, but it's also not your average Chinese food. The filet mignon is so soft and delicious that it melts in your mouth. Great flavors! Jenn was our waitress and she was lovely. Overall, great experience and it's a BYOB. read more

I find this to be okay for vegetarians. The tofu steak sounds good but is very watery and contains egg so not a great choice for vegans. I would recommend asking exactly what ingredients are part of the entrees before ordering. The seitan chicken dish was great and something I would order again. read more

Wow! Im shocked how great food was!!! One of the best places i went to! And believe me. I am a picky eater. Can not complain about anything! Great soup, the BEST calamari I ever had and main courses... amazing!!! Portions are huge. You can definitely split them between two people! Our waitress was amazing which unfortunately I forgot her name, knew all of the specials. She was training somebody at the same time, and was so helpful to us! Thank you!!! Will def come back read more

The food... AMAZING!!! You should get your Chinese food here! Just one thing... the service is ok. The waiters are THE BEST!!! One of the cashiers is kinda rude. I was about to leave and I asked if I could take 2 mints, but he responded with a sure with a shrug acting like he didn't care. ANYWAYS, I felt really relaxed in the restaurant and enjoyed the best Chinese food of my life! read more

We went to Bejing Pavilion the day after Valentine's Day to avoid the crowds. We were not disappointed. Our server was attentive and friendly, the lettuce wrap appetizer was delicious and arrived quickly. The entrees were even better, we had Grand Marnier Chicken and Black Pepper Filet Mignon. Excellent place for a family dinner and a great spot for date night. The BYOB is a plus. Can't wait to go back. read more

i had dinner there again, last Saturday, with a Family member and, once again, Beijing Bistro did not disappoint. Ryan, met us at the door and led us to our table with Tina was our server. The menu and service was most welcoming. The food preparations, most creative. I tried the Egg Roll Filet Mignon; my Family member ordered the Chicken and Beef skewers, Satay. For our entre....I ordered the Garlic Shrimp with Asparagus and my Family member ordered Crispy Steak Tangerine. All menu items were outstanding. Having a "white linen table cloth" Chinese Restaurant is rare to find these days as so many are "take out only" with subpar cuisine. The BYOB is also an attractive feature here. I highly recommend Beijing Bistro!! read more

Five star egg rolls! I heard about the filet mignon egg rolls so I had to stop in when passing through. I'm happy to say they lived up to their reputation. Unlike so many Chinese egg rolls, these were not greasy. The exterior consisted of a nice thick pastry with an interior consisting of bits of filet mignon and densely packed cabbage. Fantastic! Didn't get to try anything else as we were on our way to somewhere else. Would definitely like to return to try some other things read more

My fiancé and I wanted to check out Beijing Bistro ever since Temple closed. We made reservations on OpenTable and I am glad we did because they were busy on a Saturday night. Our first impression of the restaurant was not off to the best start when the hosted ignored us and the owner had to remind her to do her job and greet us. We looked at the menu and when our waiter came over to take our order we asked him if he had any recommendations for appetizers, but he wasn't definitive on any and same went for the entrées. We ordered the Egg Chicken Corn Soup and it came out lukewarm. I wish they had crispy wonton chips to put in the soup, but they did not. We got the Pork Belly Buns and they were so flavorful and delicious. The pork belly was very tender. Our entrées were huge proportions and I was happy that for my dietary restrictions they were able to accommodate the sauce on the side for the Chicken with Broccoli. My fiancé enjoyed his Crispy Steak Tangerine and said it was very flavorful. The other downside was we ordered brown rice with our main courses, which is $2.00 extra and we never received the brown rice. My fiancé said he would eat the white rice without a problem. When the bill came the table we had to talk to the waiter about removing it, which he did. We left with a takeout bag full of leftovers. I hope that the restaurant can improve their knowledge about their food and acknowledge their customers from the beginning. read more

Wonderful meal! We have been coming here for family dinners for many years and it never disappoints. If you like Large sharing portions, this is the place for you. It's BYO, which we enjoy. They will open the wine for you and bring you a cooler bucket for any wines that need to be chilled. There were 5 of us and we all shared the appetizer sampler, lobster fried rice, chicken and broccoli, crispy orange chicken, sizzling filet mignon, steak tangerine, and the special chicken dish. Every dish was delicious and had a unique flavor. The pork dumplings are highly recommended! read more

My party of 6 needed a table at 7 pm on a Saturday night so despite the 3 star average review we gave this place a try. We were all very happy with the food and service. It was the best Chinese I've had in the Red Bank area, by far, over the 20 years I've lived here. Fried rice, gran marnier prawns, filet mignon in scallions, pineapple chicken, beef and broccoli, steamed dumplings, cold sesame noodles. All great. I'm coming back soon! read more

Average food no better than a decent takeaway but at a gourmet food price. The appetizers were rushed out by a young man who was actually running or walking very fast! Just OK but not a place I would go to again. read more

This restaurant was very good before the pandemic but now it's a five star restaurant . Everything is delicious and especially all the soups, lettuce wraps and anything with beef. We will always come back . Thank you read more

I wouldn't recommend wasting your money going here. It tasted like most of the food was previously frozen and just heated up. We ordered the calamari to start and not only did it not look anything like calamari it tasted rubbery and was very chewy. The pork belly buns were delicious but about the only thing worth going here for. For entrees we ordered the chicken imperial which was tasty, peppercorn chicken which looked like chicken nuggets heated up and does not come with a sauce! The pork fried rice was nothing special with hardly any flavor. The pork looked nothing like pork I've ever seen in Chinese food. The girl serving our food was confused when she brought our food and asked if we wanted white rice which our waiter told us comes with the main dishes. Why ask if you told us it comes with our food? Very odd and service was not that great for a place that was half empty on peak Friday night! Would not recommend to anyone wanting half way decent Chinese food. read more

Appetizers came 55 minutes after we were seated. Ridiculous. Entrees were served an hour and 40 minutes after we were seated. We were told delay was because kitchen was filling take out orders. How mismanaged can you be? Food was ok. Some dishes delicious and others bland and no longer hot when served. read more

Excellent soup then Kung pao chicken extra spicy then Duck and sesame chicken to die for. We like to take a portion of each dish per person. Cathee the owner is very personable and stopped over to help me with the selection. Awesome. Server was a bit confusing regarding deserts eg "We do have this desert but we don't have that one". We were chased by a fruit fly all night and there was chipped paint on dreary gray walls. Time for Reno deep cleaning and menu change.Check arrived a bit over priced. Gas all night. Help. read more

Pretty good. Food is same as Temple Gourmet. The lobster fried rice is my favorite.. perfect! paired with the steak it was heavenly! It is nice that it is BYOB and the staff is friendly.. The food was served amazingly fast which was nice because of my Hungry meter.. It is always consistend and a must do ! read more

Really nice atmosphere and service. The food was amazing and the portions very generous. It's a bit pricy but overall a good experience!

This place has REALLY high quality Chinese food. It's the best in the area in my opinion and I've had most in Monmouth county. The chicken imperial (basically the same thing as general tso's) is quality white meat with a crunch. I won't name them but it's much better than a few of the more popular places in Monmouth county. I think the restaurant's name changes might confuse people? But it's great read more

STEAMYDELICIOUS Temple. It is a suitable name for this paragon of Chinese cookery.The simple decor belies its magical, unexpected graces, balanced by the delectably familiar. But what performance in a mere kitchen could have turned out the colorful, fragrant dishes prepared for us? Look at those pictures; the aromas preceded the sound of my sizzling chicken with black bean sauce. The greatest surprise were the shrimp, (which usually are pretty small,) unlike the mouth-watering, tambourine-sized prawns Temple serves. Elegant service coupled with decent, fair prices, and WOW food. Temple. Go! read more
