This was immensely disappointing. The General Tsaos chicken was okay but the pork fried rice was unlike any that I have ever eaten. Soy sauce colored but tasteless.The sweet and sour chicken was bland. I anticipated some high quality cuisine because of the reputation of this restaurant. I'm accustomed to Chinese cuisine for decades from all over and maybe it's just me but- overpriced and underwhelming.. They may be an acquired taste because I'm decades in to Panda Kitchen's offerings and they are delicious. Panda Kitchen in Maplewood is not a dine -in restaurant for the most part- they have a couple of tables and chairs but they excel in takeout. Even No 1 in South Orange is more palatable. I'm am shocked. The unique take on the dishes may be by design but it's not my cup of tea. read more

Shrimp fried rice saturated in brown sauce. It doesn't look or taste fresh. Any food with sauce tastes like chemicals.

Living in Maplewood for the past 15 years, we must have ordered from Bill and Harry's over 100 times, and the low ratings are undeserved!!!! The order taker is always kind and respectful, and the food is really good! We have been disappointed by the other places around- there aren't many- Bill and Harry's is the only one. Consistent and delicious! read more

The food has always been great tasting and the menu has lots to choose from. I especially liked the shrimp chowmein. Delivered fast & hot.

Great authentic Chinese food! Small & convenient. Easy parking. Nice staff. Good recommendation.

Food is not consistent. Ordered beef and broccoli and sauce was so thin and no flavor. Do not recommend because you never know what your going to get read more

The food was horrible. I went here with my friend after he was referred to try this place. We ordered the corn seafood soup, general tso chicken, sweet and spicy jumbo shrimp. It came with white rice, which was the worst white rice I've ever had. I can't tell if it was frozen the defrosted or left over night. It tasted like if we left it in the fridge one day it would be bad so we had to throw it out. I asked for the shrimp to be spicy, it was very much mild. The general Tso chicken wasn't the worst but it also wasn't up to par. Knocking this off of our list of Chinese places to try. Trust that there is better options out there don't waste your time here. read more

Perfect comfort food for me. I love this place. Adding duck sauce to the lo mein makes it absolutely perfect for me. They have great chicken dishes (I love their sesame chicken) and I can't recommend this place enough!!! It's what I crave whenever I just want classic Chinese takeout. Definitely try it out! read more

To go only. Not the best looking restaurant. Pretty basic. If ur looking for great customer service then this didn't the place for you! If you just want some good food those things do not matter then you made a great choice! The fried rice is THE best! It's real fried rice not that yellowish color or most take out spots. The general Tso is great too!! Choice of dark or white meat and spicy or not!! The salt n pepper is also very good but pricey!! Haven't had everything on the menu but everything I stated above is very good! Pretty much all I get!!! It's also more pricer than other take out Chinese food places. I never personally had any issue with the lady at the counter. I can see how some may think she is rude. Might be a culture/English thing? She's def not bubbly but she tells me thank you! read more

Bill & Harry's in Maplewood. Food was delivered fast. One word, EXCELLENT! The very best Chinese food. Tasty & hot.

Nothing much to write about here. I was looking forward to some good comfort Chinese food, but was not left impressed at all. I order an egg roll which did not contain any pork. It was more of cabbage roll. The scallion pancakes also had no taste or scallions. It was kind of baked tasting and literally tasted like bread and oil.My boyfriend ordered the Crispy Beef with black pepper sauce which I can bet you money either was given to us incorrectly, or they used chicken to make this dish. There was no beef! It looks more like a fried piece of chicken in a black sauce. I got the boneless bbq ribs and Mai-fun and got lo-mien instead. The ribs were super salty. Not edible salty. Best part of the meal was the fried rice and the lo mein i didn't order. I'm giving them 3 stars because the man that assisted me was super nice, but I excepted better in the taste and quality of the food. read more

My Husband and I ordered here for the first time! We heard good things about it! However we ordered Wonton Soup- the broth tasted like water no flavor at all. Fried Dumplings-Again NO flavor! Chicken and Broccoli-Which once again NO flavor and the chicken was over cooked! Pork Fried Rice- This was lacking flavor, but was okay with soy sauce. The last thing we ordered was the Scallion Pancakes-Again NO flavor! We were very disappointed to say the least! We will not be ordering again!! read more

Food is consistently good. You can trust what's gluten free if you're celiac. Spicy if you like, as much as you can handle. Feels very authentic. read more

The ratings don't reflect how good the food is. This is a surprisingly solid Chinese food place! We eat it often and the food is great for a Chinese takeout joint. Crispy, hot, saucy, flavorful, very rarely have we been disappointed in anything here. It's our go-to read more

I am very happy that Bill & Harry is back! My second dinner within 10 days. I decided in the middle of my nightly walk after 10 hours of WFH to pick up supper. Once again, Bill and Harry's surpassed my expectations! My choice tonight: Shrimp & broccoli-extra spicy garlic sauce, brown rice, and pork dumplings. Delicious! And finally, I really respect there new safety measures. Kudos! read more

I've been waiting for over 1 1/2 hours for my food. I understand that it's Christmas, but they are so disorganized. Never again!!!

Love their gluten free options!! I would recommend this restaurant for sure!!!!!!!!!! read more

Bear in mind, this is takeout and not sit-down Chinese. But we like this place quite a bit. The food tastes fresher and it seems like it's made a little healthier (in relative terms!) than your standard hole-in-the-wall takeout. Less greasy overall, which we appreciate. The beef and broccoli we had recently was very flavorful. A solid place to have in your rotation. read more

Great tasting food as always, real fried rice like the way it's suppose to be fried not yellow rice like those other fake Chinese fast food places around. Definitely worth to try. read more

This is our go-to for Chinese takeout. We especially like the soups! Hot and sour soup is good, and the egg drop wonton soup has excellent chewy wontons and a nice ginger flavor. Amount of food is good, especially if you order a noodle dish - the takeout container looks small but there is a hefty portion of noodles compressed inside. One note is that none of the dishes are really all that spicy, even if you order them as such. read more

Had to knock a star off after my most recent order. Ordered my favourite hot and sour soup, and it was brutal, ended up tossing it out. Spare ribs were tough and chewy, also ended up in the garbage. Scallion pancakes were likewise... Chewy read more

Rude staff and horrible food. I paid almost 30 for a meal I could of bo for cheaper with better tasting quality. Did I mention they're rude here? read more

Easily the best chinese takeout that I have ever had and also the sole reason why my boyfriend refuses to eat chinese takeout from anywhere else, regardless what city or state that we are currently in ! Bill & Harry's offers chinese takeout at the gourmet level. The food is always extremely fresh and seasoned to perfection. We order pretty much the same things all the time: Beef & Broccoli, Chicken Lo Mein, Chicken Fried Rice, and Sesame Chicken. All of which are extremely good !! My boyfriend is the kind of chinese food eater that never ordered any meat that he couldn't readily identify; meaning that the only meat he would order from a Chinese place was chicken wings. But from Bill&Harry's everything is repersentative of what it describes, he Beef&Broccoli tastes like the beef that you would chop up and make stew with at home. We love it, I guarantee that you will love it ! They offer very limited delivery through a company called Deals4Meals. But if you do not live within a couple blocks of the establishment, you cannot benefit from the delivery service. We call ahead, and within 15-20 minutes our food is ready. And takeout means takeout, you will not find a single table in this walk in and order at the counter establishment. So if your planning to have Bill&Harrys, plan to have somewhere to take it and enjoy its deliciousness, even if it's just the nearby park :) read more

Bill & Harry's - a sign in the window of a chinese restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Maplewood, New Jersey

Called and placed an order for delivery one Saturday evening. The woman that answered the phone(cashier) was very rude and disrespectful. Almost as if she didn't want to take my order for delivery. After taking my order she still tried to convince me another 5X to come and pick up instead of delivery. It's almost like she felt empowered giving me a hard time over the telephone. I hate to use race card but I've been to this establishment dozens of times and have never seen the cashier interact with other customers or talk to anyone in this way. PLEASE BE AWARE TO ALL PEOPLE OF COLOR. THIS ESTABLISHMENT IS NOT WELCOMING TO OUR KIND. I AM A RESIDENT OF MAPLEWOOD TOWNSHIP AND I WILL NEVER AGAIN CONSIDER ORDER FROM THIS ESTABLISHMENT AGAIN! read more

Picked up from this place in West Orange 2 times! It was great Under new management it says Both times we ordered family dinners shrimp and chicken with white and fried rice Egg drop soup and egg rolls and a 2 liter sprite. $45 Not bad. Fed 5 Very good, it was recommended by a Facebook group in Essex County when someone asked where's can you get the best Chinese food? There were several responses with this place. Tonight was the second time ordering. They don't deliver though but you can order online or call I never went inside, i had my husband pic it up But I've driven past. It's near the High school Small place in a shopping plaza. read more

Supremely rude owner/staff lady! She literally yelled at me today when I asked her a question and when I told her how rude she was, she just shrugged her shoulders. read more

Disgusted! The owner/cashier lady is supremely rude with a nasty tone. I ordered the Buddha's Delight after confirming that it was only vegetables. After getting home to dinner I learned it had tofu mixed in - for which I have an allergy. So I called to give her a heads up that I wasn't able to eat my meal because of my allergy and maybe that they could include all ingredients in the description. Well, she was highly offended and wouldn't even consider my suggestion about it. I didn't take it personal and moved past it. On my next order I made an effort to be sure to mention to not include tofu. Once I said that she knew it was me ordering and inserted her nasty tone. I picked up my food and it was chewy, oily and cold. Trashed!! What a waste of food and money. From the looks of the other reviews this business is definitely NOT neighborly or worth patronizing. read more

This is totally solid Chinese food and speedy, reliable delivery. Ask for the crispy spicy black chicken -- really good. read more

Bill & Harry's - Delish moo shoo chicken (I skipped the pancakes) but always ask for extra plum sauce) - Chinese Near Me - Maplewood, New Jersey

Why is my vegetable fried rice dark brown? Not golden brown like it typically is from Chinese restaurants to indicate a good crisp but looks like it was doused in soy sauce. Disgusting. Super oily and salty. Paid $7 for a small container that's going right into the garbage. I had a couple bites and already my stomach is really upset. Also no "thank you" or any response to me telling the lady to have a great day when I picked up my food. Kindness is free. Don't waste your money here. Your stomach will thank you for avoiding it. read more

We ordered dinner for the first time in 10yrs, to give it a second chance since everyone raves about it ... the human chicken and the shrimp in black bean sauce special were both edible but super bland, no spice or taste. We won't be back again! read more

Bill & Harry's - Shrimp in black bean sauce special - Chinese Near Me - Maplewood, New Jersey

See all

Although their name would never indicate as such, Bill & Harry's is actually a pretty solid and reliable take-out only Chinese restaurant. Unfortunately, there is a serious dearth of quality Chinese food spots in the SOMA area (that's South Orange/Maplewood, for all those not in the know), so when I discovered B&H, I was pleased. Don't be fooled, there is nothing fancy about this place or their food, but like I said, it's solid. You need dumplings? No prob. Cold sesame noodles? Got you. Beef or chicken with broccoli? General Tso's? Moo Shu Pork? Fuggetaboutit! All the usual suspects and repeat offenders of the Americanized Chinese food syndicate are here. If you are a Chinese food snob or have a specific palate for it only (Cantonese, Hunan, Szechuan, etc.), you may be disappointed here. However, if you just need a fix, they've got you covered. read more

I had the WORST experience here. I've ordered a few times, but the last two times have been the worst... DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE! This time I ordered dumplings (pretty good, crunchy on one side, although very doughy overall), orange chicken, and general tso's chicken. The chicken had been definitely been sitting out for quite a while - that was obvious. It was cold, the sauce congealed, and hard as a rock. I called the restaurant to ask for a refund/new delivery, but they said they were closing. I said that wasn't acceptable, but they said they would give me a full refund if I brought it back the next day. I brought it back and waited 15 minutes for the owner's wife to show up - because he didn't know how to process a refund on the credit card machine. Then she only gave me $24 of my $37 back because I had eaten the dumplings (fair), but she charge me the delivery fee, all the tax, and the tip I gave to the driver before I knew I was accepting DISGUSTING food. The man was nice but his wife was rude and refused to hear me out. These people are stingy and dishonest to their word - and they serve food that has been sitting out for hours. I will NEVER return. read more

After power returning to our area we decided to try this take out establishment while shopping locally and after seeing all the good reviews we were excited for a new Chinese food experience! We ordered chicken with broccoli, orange beef, 2 egg rolls and a wonton soup (other reviews indicated good choices). I wonder if this was an off week considering the storm? Portions were small and lacked flavor. In fact, the only flavor that wasn't lacking was the overwhelming taste of rancid oil. However staff was friendly and warm. read more

Solid Chinese food. We order from here once or twice a month and it is consistently tasty and the ingredients seem to be good quality. General's chicken is a family favorite. read more

I was leery to try them because of the very nonAsian name. But I'm glad I did! They deliver to Maplewood and are pretty good! Everywhere else in the immediate SOMA area has been pretty bad for Chinese. Only tried the spare ribs--good and not totally skimpy on the meat and full of red dye--and the pork fried rice--the small was very filling and tasty. Next time I want to try something else, but if I do get the fried rice again I'm going to size up to a large and fry an egg into the leftovers for breakfast the next morning mmMmmmMMmmMmmMMMMmmm. read more

So I ordered a noodle and vegetable dish from Bill and Harry's. They brought it at a decent wait time, but while I was eating it with my nieces I found something that appeared to be a rat's tail in my takeout box. I was disgusted. If you would like a dish that doesn't contain rabies or fleas order from a different restaurant. read more

Extremely disappointed. After reading the review and I decided to try. I called soon as 11:30am on Saturday when the place supposed to open. No one answered. I drove by to see if number is wrong, pitch dark and no one there. I waited another 15 minutes finally someone picked up the phone. I asked "are you open?". The guy on the phone saids no one here and place will not be opened for another 30 minutes, he says "my workers are late, must be stuck in the traffic." It was almost 12pm. He said call back in about 30 minutes. What kind of establishment which is not open on prime lunch time? unlikely I will try this place again. read more

The extra half-star is because they're in Maplewood. I can't imagine they can survive with Ani Ramen moving in two doors down if they continue to produce mediocre food. read more

This is the best Chinese takeout place in the Maplewood South-Orange area. the food is always fresh and well made. The owners are so kind hearted that its a pleasure to go in just to see them.
