The food was exotically delicious. The dice rabbit was succulent, soft and salty in hints of delicacies. The mixed fried rice was composed of a vast vista of ingredients ranging from beef to shrimps. The Lo Mein shrimp noodles was my favorite of all the dishes- it had cooked shrimps mixed up in all of the vegetables in an excellent manner! read more

Food came super quickly and the waiters were all very attentive! The food was great too - would highly recommend this spot.

Very delicious especially the sautéed lamb. We came for lunch around 2:30pm and there was no wait.

We had preserved pork with smoked bamboo and chicken in peppercorn sauce. Both ended up being very good recommendations from our server. Great ambience and excellent service. read more

Our go to dinner spot for authentic Chinese food in JC. I wished they open in Bayonne NJ

Ordered spring rolls light and not greasy but crunchy, steamed pork dumplings which were delicious, chicken fried rice was light but tasty, pork lo mein was light and if you like fish try the octopus. It was very spicy but you can ask to have it less spicy. All in all I recommend Chef Tan. I will be coming again. read more

I had heard mixed reviews about this place, but I am glad I finally tried this place out! I went on a weekday night at the start of the dinner rush and was seated right away, by the time we finished, the restaurant was packed. The staff are friendly, but it was hard to flag down someone when we needed a refill on water or something like that. We were seated closer to the door and out of the view of the waitresses that were running back and forth. For the prices and quality of food, I was happily surprised! The food was tasty and the fried fish and chicken were perfectly seasoned and had a great crunchiness to them. The fried rice didn't have as much protein as expected, but it had that same flavor that I love that come with fried rice. Anyways, I can't believe it took me so long to come here, but will definitely be a regular customer here :) read more

Tastes good--really enjoyed it! I'll definitely come back later to try more from the menu.

This place has a fair amount of seating, so many large tables. We tried some vegetables dumplings, steamed chicken dumplings, and scallion pancakes. The Scallion pancakes were great. I personally preferred Scallion pancakes over the Dumplings. We also got Lamb & Beef Cumin Dish. My friend has lower spice tolerance so didn't enjoy that much. I'm not sensitive to spice, and mostly I love spicy food. I loved the Lamb Cumin Dish. read more

I ordered from Chef Tan almost every week. Love everything so far except this time. I ordered this dish "Spare ribs with taro" for the first time. It has more Taro than spare ribs and was surprisingly bland. I had high hope for this dish and was disappointed. We'll try other dish next time. read more

这家中餐馆整体体验还不错，适合日常聚餐或者点外卖。菜品选择比较丰富。环境方面是那种比较家常风格的小馆子，装修不讲究但整洁干净。服务员态度还可以，点菜速度快，上菜也挺快的。

Like the foods here! Taste good! The ToFu and the egg taste like the one in China traditional food.

Food is absolutely delicious. Personally love the Hunan style Lamb, Eggplant in garlic sauce, Dan Dan noodles, Wontons in chili oil, etc. Good service and a nicely decorated restaurant. read more

My Chinese girlfriend introduced this place to me and it was a great decision! Delicious authentic Chinese food! I would recommend if you are new to this cuisine to try the Maoxuewang and other non Americanized options. That's what will be the most delicious! Best decision I've made in a long time to begin eating this food. read more

authentic & SPICY szechuan & hunan food in newport! i've passed by this place so many times on my way to the PATH but never stopped by until now. a lot of the food here is spicy - they specialize in szechuan/hunan food. my poor spice tolerance suffered but i was shocked at how much i liked the food regardless. the dishes were very tasty, and the servers were so kind as well and gave us lots of good recommendations! chef tan has a bunch of locations around the city as well as this one in newport. i'd say they're worth checking out for their huge selection of authentic chinese food. what we ordered (* = my faves): - hunan-style cold bean curd* - scallion pancake - cumin lamb* - chongqing style fried chicken - pumpkin cookies* the cold bean curd appetizer was actually SO GOOD and was the perfect way to start our meal! it was not super spicy, but still had a kick from the chili(?) oil. both the chongqing fried chicken & the cumin lamb were SPICYYY but i would rather power through the cumin lamb. the lamb was so delicious, wasn't gamey at all, just packed with flavor! and the pumpkin cookies were a great dessert, they reminded me of fried mochi. i've seen a lot of rave reviews for the chongqing style fried chicken before and i would also say it's good, but once again the spice level isn't quite right for me... however if i had the tolerance, i'm sure i would have liked it more hahaha. definitely come if you can handle spice! read more

The environment is really good. But I am very disappointed when they first brought up the dishes: the pot is broken, look at the crack. In China only homeless use broken bowl. The food is very salty and oil. No Guo Qi 没有锅气。 乞丐才用破碗 read more

Loved this place! It's hard to find an authentic Szechuan restaurant in New Jersey but chef tan really hit the spot. The restaurant itself is spacious and clean, staff very friendly and the food here is delicious and well priced. My husband and I ordered their dandan noodles, duck blood spicy stew, sautéed cabbage and pork with bamboo shoots. Everything came out in less than 15 minutes and came out piping out. The foods were not too oily and the spice levels were just perfect for the dandan noodles and duck blood. We did think the pork with bamboo shoots were a little bland and could've been better with a little more seasoning and salt, but still good. Will definitely be back. read more

The food is so delicious and leftovers are even better! They don't miss! Food is fresh, tasty and the perfect anytime occasion not to cook! Treat yourself to Chef Tan! read more

I stopped in here to grab a meal with family, and the restaurant is bigger than expected, with a larger seating area screened off from other areas. The tables are quite big, so a little difficult for shorter people to reach across when seated at a table for 6. Big TV up on the wall with Chinese food-related TV shows playing while we waited. Bathrooms are the same as the prior Confucius, they removed the bar as any emphasis. The food we tried: - double cooked pork w/ leek and was not quite spicy - ma po tofu had no "ma" spiciness and felt like something I'd make out of a box though I did like the black bean sauce they used despite being too mild - salt & white pepper chicken had the right aroma, but needed a bit stronger flavor (a little more salt + pepper) - the chicken lo mein was pretty standard, more like a US Chinese dish but done well enough that the in-laws were good with it - pumpkin and red bean fried dessert was ok, but super-hot when it comes out - be careful Overall, I've had better Sichuan and Hunan food, and though the service was ok, it didn't quite feel as authentic as other places I've had recently. read more

The food was pretty good, and it is easy to get table, and like the nonspicy options a lot.

Best Chinese food ever! Delicious food. Sweet friendly staff. Great location. They serve wine, beer, Prosecco etc. Nice ambience - soft music was played while we dined. I wholeheartedly recommend it. Very happy we came read more

had really great meal, garlic bok choi and the eggplant entree -both vegetarian and fresh and satisfying. The rice was fluffy and prepared well Meal overall was satisfying and nicely presented Very large space with high ceilings, an and added surprise: a grand piano. i have been to venue twice once mid week afternoon 3pm, empty.. a ghost town but on a sunday evening PACKED, mostly asian people that night - does that mean this place is legit authentic cuisine? i might be projecting.. again it was lunar new year.. will be back again and see, and I'll order delivery read more

The food is very yummy and the service here is also above my expectations. I will definitely visit again.

We often eat in this restaurant due to its close location with our apartment. It's a very spacious restaurant and suitable to family gatherings. The food is delicious, hot and fast. The price is also reasonable. Most of the food are spicy, but they still have many other choices without spice. read more

Food is excellent. I always get the Chef Tan's Rice, I love the smokiness it has. The Chongqing style chicken is great too, just wish it had some sauce for it, seems dry but still very good. Biggest gripe I have is the service. It's just poor. It always seems like they never want you there and do the absolute bare minimum. I'm not asking for you to juggle my drinks to the table but when I order apps, I expect them to be served at the same time, not one at a time. Same with the main dishes. I got my main dish 10 minutes before everyone else's and I didn't want to be rude so I let mine get cold so we can eat together which is essentially the reason we all went out to eat. Instead we awkwardly stared at each other confused. You'd think these things would be common sense for all restaurants but clearly not here. Like I said, food is great. Maybe I'll consider this to be a take out place only. It's really not worth dining in there unfortunately read more

Very transitional Hunan& Chun restaurant ,nice atmosphere and good service . First time be here
