I LOVE Chengdu 1 palace. Whenever you go, the food always hits. I got the Wonton soup and it was SOOOOOO good. The staff were nice and they got the tea ready in like, 2-3 minutes. I also like the fish swimming around there and the place is just so fancy. Great job again, chengdu read more

Fantastic food. We had a huuuge party and tried practically everything - I loved the dumplings, soup dumplings, lamb dumplings but the spicy wontons were my favorite. The spicy volcano chicken was excellent but All the veggie dishes are fire! A vegans paradise. Broccoli, eggplant, string beans, bamboo shoots, bok choi etc. good prices too read more

Nice place to eat Dim Sum. Food comes fast and warm. Nice people and good service. Food is authentic and delicious. Priced reasonably. Room is a bit too warm for the day. All is good. Will come back again. read more

They jacked up their prices, I am paying almost double to what we used to pay for less items. Crazy. Won't order from here again.

Authentic Chinese food that comes with large portions. Recommend grilled lamb ribs and spicy fish stew.

Great dim sum place at very reasonable prices considering how nice the locale is. I assume it's authentic although I'm not really in a position to know -- but the restaurant doesn't follow the standard ordering procedure you would take for granted for a sit-down dining place in the US. Everything pretty-much arrives at once and the table rotates so that everyone shares all the dishes with everyone else, "Italian Family" style. I would not recommend for dates as you get the best experiences by having a big group of people ordering lots of different entrees to share. Services was very attentive and friendly although they didn't speak English too well. read more

Our new favorite spot for all things Szheuan food. We have been here multiple and have always enjoyed our meals. Staff is super nice and food is delicious. They have dim sum specials on weekends during brunch time. Everything we tried from the menu was great, but the chilli fish and the chicken pot stood out. Definitely a great spot to stop by when in the area!! read more

This is the best Chinese food in NJ, quality ingredients and reasonable prices. They also do Dim sum in the evening hours. Never a bad meal here. read more

Wanted Chinese food, was visiting family, and decided Szechuan seemed worth the gamble. Turned out well, food was ready quickly and take out was easy. My very very spicy chicken had nice heat, and mala tingle I expected. Portions were decent size and meat was all good. Will definitely order takeout again. read more

The kind of place you might drive by on your commute every day for years before finding the opportunity to try. They offer a wide selection of Chinese dishes beyond what you might find on average American-Chinese restaurant. Even dishes that sound familiar may be different from what you're used to; they do not skimp on the szechuan peppercorn in the dan dan noodles! Lots of dim sum dishes on offer and I have found them to be very high quality! The dumplings and buns are a balance of wrapper/dough versus filling. There are so many more items to try - if you're looking for something adventurous go with the szechuan menu. There website says they have dim sum carts on weekends but I haven't tried that (yet). read more

Ive been here once and that was more than enough. Ill start with the service which to put it nicely it was just plain terrible I walk in and the staff pick up their heads and continue to work They were prepping tables . I waited and waited. Then after 10 mins they finally seated me. There were only 3 customers in the whole restaurant myself included The food didnt come out hot maybe lukewarm at best. I shouldve payed attention to the red flag (which is that the place was deserted) Would not repeat or eat there for free . Youre better off going next door and eating at outback Atleast you know what youre gonna get there read more

A tale of two restaurants take out is horrible boring over sauced mall food. Order sizzle ing chicken and ginger- you get chicken and vegetables in lots of bland brown sauce Same for the pork lo mein! In restaurant it is a lovely Smokey lomein as I have had in Beijing. Take out tastes like a ton of Brown sauce dumped on noodles. Order was wrong for soup - order wonton get egg drop. I love this restaurant as eat in so go and eat in. take out is the worst! Eat in would get a consistent 4 of 5 stars!!! read more

Great for take out or dine in. They are honestly the best Chinese food in the area. Generally Tsos has a great chicken to breading ratio. Hot and sour as well as wonton soup are great. Also recommend the garlic chicken and steamed dumplings. Staff is very friendly and listens to any special modifications you may request for a dish. Love this place! read more

Good sichuan food for the area. It isn't the most authentic or best sichuan regionally but it is good restaurant that offers not only sichuan, dim sum, and popular cantonese dishes. Spacious, lots of room, and good service. read more

Went for the lunar new year before the crowd. They did their best to keep up with the volume and the business did affect their ability to service our table. A few requests had to be reminded such as water and our bill. Restaurant is one of the prettier dim sum places I have been to. There is a koi pond in the middle for all to admire. Restaurant can accommodate large parties. Menu has many options. Portion size was generous and impressed at the quantity. Ordered eggplant in garlic sauce, pan fried noodles and Peking duck. Dishes were delicious. Wished my duck came in at a warmer temp and accompanied by dumplings. Duck was served with wraps which I wasn't keen about. Got to bring home a decent size doggy bag. Definitely would return if in the neighborhood. read more

This is our favorite spot for dim sum in NJ. They have all of the standard items, and I feel like the quality is great for most, if not everything. It seemed to be pretty authentic. Note that they do have the cart service here, which is nice in a way, but unfortunately they don't do the best job of covering the entire floor. There were a few instances where we had to chase them down (and tables near us were doing the same). It can get busy, so I recommend coming early. read more

I enjoy the food from this place, I'm here at least twice a month. I always get the Cumin Lamb and it's so tasty and just the right amount of spice for me. It's my favorite Chinese restaurant and that's saying a lot since I'm from New York. New Jersey food normally do anything for me. read more

no service,,,,no tip... wrong dish served,,, we won't be going back,,,, Since they got a new chef, the food was excellent. Our waiter, whom we have known for years from a previous restaurant, cost them a customer. read more

We had lunch with a party of 14 and had a wide array of their dim sum and other plates. Too many actually to document and photograph each. Having eaten at many many Chinese restaurants far and wide I found all of the dim sum items we ordered to be very good. The dishes we ordered were executed quite well also. Nothing was overly greasy or not fresh. Our entire party was quite pleased. read more

Had the pleasure of visiting here with my friends recently. We unintentionally walked in on dim sum and ended up (mostly) sticking with that. We where really pleased with the options available. I also ordered shrimp fried rice, and was pleasantly surprised by the size of the servicing. The bean sprouts where cooked very nicely. read more

It's a okay dimsum place. Not the worst but far from the best. Given it's in a dimsum desert of Route 22, I think it's decent. Gets the job done. We ordered the standard dishes, shumai, shrimp dumpling, chicken feet, ribs, & durian dessert. Most of the dishes tasted good. They came out hot and tasted good. Only issue I saw, the food took really long for the food to come out. They aren't running around with the dimsum cart so food orders needed to made to order. Slows the process down but dimsum usually comes out relatively fast considering they are mostly steamed foods. Anyway, food really started coming out slow when the restaurant was filled to full capacity. We ended up canceling 2 dishes since we had finished eating and it still didn't come out yet. Might give this place a month or two before I try it again as they need to get it back to full staff. read more

This is my fave restaurant right now and my go to place for family gatherings. Coming in the morning? Dim sum carts galore. My go to orders, har gow, siomai, turnip cake, bean curd... just take everything you possibly can off the cart LOL. Things that are a must order wise. Salt and pepper squid, salt and pepper shrimp, drypot for two (I LOVEEEE SZECHUAN FOOD), cucumbers in garlic, and the seafood pan fried noodles. I also particularly love the string beans because they saute them in bean curd and it's smoky and delish. Fun fact-- they have bubble tea and it's bomb too. When I got it I got thai tea, and my cousins got peach and mango slush and the boba was perfectly cooked! Didn't need to go to another place for dessert. read more

Its a good spot for dim sum as mentioned by other reviews. I also liked the tables, there is a rotating table on top of the regular table which is great for passing food like different types of dim sum amongst a big group. They also had alot of other great food too. The fried fish and the szechwan chicken were really good and a unique plating. They also do good with the basic stuff like sesame chicken. Overall, great experience, came on New Year Eve, it was quiet and i think past the rush hour but the stuff were still attentive and willing to serve. We had a friendly waiter, i forgot his name. Would come back again. read more

Not recommend their dim sum experience as they are not authentic at all. They do a version of it and taste ok. It's just not the real deal.

Got a few dishes - mapo tofu, honey walnut shrimp, and scallion fried rice. The food was flavorless and lacked dimension.

Solid place for dim sum, carts are frequent, off menu items made fresh, best dim sum on 22 - worth the NJ turnabout. Come with a big crowd, they can accommodate as place is huge. Will need to take photos next time we stop in read more

Excellent food. Good service. Authentic dishes. Good atmosphere. Good price point. Generous portions. Great soup dumplings.

It was good food. Will need to come back for dim sum but what we did order was delicious. We had some steamed pork dumplings, spring rolls... we got pan fried rice with sizzling beef and it was ok. Sesame chicken was good and also the chow fun. read more

All of the staff were very attentive. We were 7 including kids. The dumplings were fantastic

Excellent food, got a lunch special and shrimp egg rolls. Though the main course was not huge it was enough and it was good. The fried rice was not initially appealing to me, but everything else was delicious. read more

Every summer seems to have a theme with us. Wings one summer. BBQ the next. This year we visited several Szechuan restaurants. Chengdu 1 Palace was an unexpected find, not far from our home. Good thing since I suspect we will be here frequently. We have visited Chengdu three times. It's a large, clean restaurant with very friendly servers. And for spice lovers like my family, it is nirvana. With only one exception, all the dishes we have tried have been winners. Three pepper chicken, mapo tofu, spicy fried rice, spicy volcano pork, spicy lamb with curry and my favorite, jumbo shrimp with chili. All dishes are beautifully presented, spicy as advertised and delicious. The one dud was salt and pepper spare ribs. These were small bony pieces of pork, battered and deep fried. Bland. I have mentioned elsewhere that I am not a big veggie guy. The string beans served here are magnificent. My family always watches in amusement as I wolf them down. Dessert is always complimentary. Not a big fan of the Chinese sweets but the gesture is appreciated. So there you have it. A great Szechuan place on Route 22. Can't wait for our next visit. read more

I've been here a few times for Dim Sum now and have been satisfied each time. Highly recommend their steamed shrimp dumplings, shrimp rice rolls, and chicken feet. This was the first time I also tried their crispy durian cake, which had a generous portion of fresh durian considering the price. Service was friendly and accommodating. Great place for a casual weekend lunch. read more

Chengdu 1 Palace - Dim Sum Near Me - Green Brook Township, New Jersey

Came for dim sum and thought this place was not bad. There was a good variety of options and food came out hot. I was a little disappointed that there weren't any modern dim sum or anything that differs from the usual staple. There were soup dumplings which you don't see often, and thought they were good. It had a good amount of soup, but they were small. I've heard about the bad service, but today my family didn't have any issues. FYI- My family's Chinese dialect is Cantonese and noticed some cart employees didn't understand it. Prices are comparable to other dim sum spots. I definitely would comeback because the restaurant is pretty spacious (for those who are claustrophobic), so there are a lot of tables. Best part is the parking lot is quite big as well and the restaurant is just off 22W. On a Sunday, come before 12:15 pm -that was when the table wait started. read more

Fantastic place for dinners which have always been excellent whenever we've visited. The spicy lamb dish, crispy shrimp, seafood tofu, hot pepper chicken, etc. are mainstays of our group. Having so many Asian families and locals dining there is a sure sign the place is authentic and excellent. They also have dim sum service which always seem crowded on weekends. Very good value and have always been happy with dining or takeouts. The servers are friendly even if it sometimes it takes a bit to get through communication-wise as a few are non-native speakers but that's never a problem ultimately. read more

Yummy takeout, it's hard to find a good Sichuan style Chinese and this place has so much to offer! We'll be ordering regularly now.

We came here for my great aunt's birthday party, and the staff were pretty good about accommodating for gluten-free diet. This is exceptional because Chinese restaurants aren't often all that understanding, or don't often care. My family had ordered a banquet for our lunch party, and all the dishes tasted great. Because we had specified ahead of time, most of the dishes were prepared gluten-free, including the fried ones. Everything still tasted great, though. On the downside, the bathroom wasn't all that clean, and there were times when it got a little crowded in the area we had for the party. Also, the red bean soup that was served at the end tasted a little funny. Overall, though, it was a good banquet experience, and I appreciate how well they accommodated gluten-free! read more
