If you're in the Hackensack area and craving authentic Southern Chinese cuisine, Hot Fish is…read moreabsolutely worth a visit. It's conveniently located in the large plaza alongside Home Depot and 99 Ranch. I've stopped by a few times for lunch, and their midday specials are incredible. For just $11.99, you get a main dish, rice, and soup. The portions are very generous--I always leave completely stuffed! My absolute favorite is the Basa Fillet with chili oil; it's packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The lunch menu is vast, so there are always plenty of different options to choose from, ensuring you'll never get bored even if you visit frequently. Beyond the food, the overall experience is consistently great. The dining room is clean and comfortable, and the service is exceptionally fast and friendly. They also offer discount days for teachers, seniors, and first responders, which is a wonderful touch for the community.

Things have changed quite a bit since we last had dinner at Hot Fish - the portions have gotten…read moresmaller, less meat and more vegetables. The food still tastes good and that was the only thing positive about our dinner tonight. Service was quite poor today. We had appetizers and two entrees and there was barely any room on the table for us. The check was dropped and no effort was made clean up anything. There was barely room to sign the check. Our previous visits, we left fulfilled and happy - not so much today. I hope things turn around for this place.

This place is the cheapest one in Hackensack and only a few blocks from my job. I only go here when…read moreI'm pinching pennies. What I've had here: Roast Pork Lo Mein: it's okay. I don't like that they put lettuce in it. Didn't taste like cabbage to me. I ask for it without that usually. Decent though. One time I called and they were out of lo mein noodles! How does that even happen?! Egg Foo Young: this is actually pretty good from here. Greasy though. Pizza Egg Roll: I'm a fan of these from Kennedy Fried Chicken, but not a huge fan from here. Greasy and dare I say too much cheese? I'm a huge fan of cheese, but it was almost too much and not enough marinara inside the balance wasn't there. This is the only Chinese place in the area that has these. They also have Philly cheese steak rolls which I haven't tried yet (had them at a place in Teaneck though and they were so good!) Chicken wings: well seasoned, but WAY too greasy. Fries: again too greasy. Overall this place is "ok" but definitely not my favorite in Hackensack. Too greasy, but it is cheap.

I chose the pork fried rice and an egg roll. Even though I've never had an issue with them drowning the food with sauce I still like to be cautious and tell them to lightly sauce it and it was absolutely perfect. The fried rice is fresh and moist and the eggroll is crunchy without being greasy. Super solid family run spot!!

Unfortunately I have to update my review. We ordered the exact same meal from here again and it was…read moreso tragically horrible. It was one of the worst meals I've had. I don't know if they had new people in the kitchen or what. First off, the white rice was soo greasy! My experience with Chinese takeout is that it's almost always boiled and never greasy unless it's fried rice. This was glossy as all heck. Then the chicken was the biggest let down. It was supposed to be sesame chicken but it wasn't at all sweet. Not only wasn't it sweet, it was downright BAD. It was bitter and tangy in the worst way. The flavor made it difficult to eat. It also seemed like the chicken had more filler than actual meat. I don't know how the quality went so far down in a short time. Never again. Unfortunately, we will not take a chance ordering again. This is our last time. Update: Within a couple of hours ny husband got violently ill with food poisoning. It didn't just taste bad, it actually was bad and contaminated. Horrible!

Your basic no frills Americanized Chinese restaurant…read more It's a little dingy looking, as you would expect most of these establishments to be, and they offer your typical Americanized Chinese food menu and par prices for 2025. I ordered a Chicken with Mixed Vegetables Lunch Special with Roast Pork Fried Rice and it came with a drink/soup/egg roll. The Chicken with Mixed Vegetables was what it was. It was nothing extraordinary, but hit the spot if this is what you're craving. One thing that I did not like and, it was sort of my fault, was the bamboo smell and flavor inside of the entree because ... well ... there was bamboo in there, which I should have told them to take out when I ordered it. However, there was plenty of sauce in the entree for me to mix with my fried rice, so that was a major plus. Like I said, it is what is. If you're in the mood for something like this, My China Cafe will hit the spot.

Waiters were quick to seat us and offer hot tea. We arrived at noon for dim sum on a Friday and they had the push carts circling the dining room. But it was very slow to arrive at our table that we had no choice but to order food off the menu even though we requested the dim sum cart after receiving the tea. Food was hot and tasted good. Kids wanted rice rolls which were not on the cart so we had to order from the kitchen which mean it came out after a bit more waiting. If you're looking to satisfy your dim sum craving this place is great. They also have large tables for big groups. And they take reservations.
