    Notice the bottom of the can....could not even put this down.  Have to ask, how do you screw up a an of soda to go?

    Heard there is new ownership so had to give it a try, why not?! They do offer DoorDash delivery but why is Bedminster New Jersey the only place in the universe that doesn't deliver? Phone order on Friday evening was a bit like having a bad cellphone connection, but I can work with that. I'm embarrassed by now I cannot order Chinese food in perfect Mandarin dialect. Not sure how long this new ownership took over, but it sounds and feels recent. I walked in the wide open door and the emptiness swamped me. You could hear a fly hitting the window 30 feet away. The decor was based on large, open, unfurnished tile floor. To me, this amplified the emptiness and absence of patrons outside a mature 5:00 couple brazen enough to suggest a bottle of wine could make a airport restroom charm. I am not saying the restaurant even remotely resembles a restroom, it has design potential but so did my freshman college dorm room. But I'm all about the food. This food overall used a lot of heat and oil, a lot of oil. Way too much on all dishes. This is unhealthy cooking as served up this time. New Chu's Cafe badly missed my mark: Hot Spicy Jumbo Shrimp was supposed to have broccoli in it but menu change from on-line or so was one of a few misgivings in the aforementioned order entry process. It was tasty however and the vegetables and spices were good. Fried Rice with pork was overwhelmed with too much oil. Giant chunks of 'the other red meat', in fact Chinese food in general could benefit from use of that new 'non-meat, meat'. The stir fried beef and black pepper had the right flavor profile, very good but again the oil was way too much and the temperature may not have been high enough to actually fry the noodles which would have benefit from the crunch. Too little chunks of beef for a feature dish protein. Tasty but drowned in oil killed the overall dish. We also ordered fried vegetable dumpling. When we got there to pick up our takeout, we were offered a substitute which we selected as Shrimp Dumplings. They were steamed and not Fried, but tasted fishy and not appetizing. Everything was slippery from the phone, to walk-in without greeting, without joy of ownership, no gracious hospitality. More like a take-out joint in a strip mall.... Egg rolls were ok but the cabbage flavor came through more than it deserves to. So wanted to like you. Have been eating Chinese food in New Jersey over 60 years and House of Wong holds high bar locally in Bridgewater.

    Been here many times, nice service and decent food. Price is good and has large portions.

    Saturday lunch specials!!

    Chu's has lunch specials Monday through Saturday - the Saturday lunch specials was an attention grabber for me! The lunch prices are super cheap, so we ordered about 5 specials between the 2 of us. The pictures make it look like you are getting so much food, however... the amount of food you get is like appetizer portion on a smaller plate... pretty much - you get what you pay for. The restaurant is nice, well-lit, and the staff is super friendly. The food was ok... not a fan of either of the 2 shrimp dishes I ordered (small shrimp and not very fresh), the flavor and crisp of the general tso's chicken was really good (although it could be way better if they used more white meat or just less fatty chicken), and the fried rice was flavorful and tasty. Overall, I would return again to try other lunch specials - since the prices are so cheap, I consider it like going out for tapas.

    My friends and I went out for dinner to catch up and shoot the breeze. The owner of the restaurant,…read morea very young lady was pleasant and very attentive to us. She served us our appetizers and meals. The food was delicious and served piping hot! The portions were plentiful and even when we packed our food to go, the food was still hot. The next time we are the area, we will definitely dine there again. The service and the food are fantastic!!

    I went in to place a takeout order and the staff member up front was rude and had an attitude. I…read moreinitially wanted to order dumplings, but was told there's a $10 minimum to use my card, so I said I'll take another look at the menu. About 2 minutes later, I went to the counter again to order pork lo mein and wonton soup. The staff member was visibly irritated and rudely said, "You have to tell us. You didn't say anything and now the dumplings are almost done." It felt unnecessary, considering I hadn't finalized my order and told them I would take another look at the menu. Food wise: The pork lomein was a bland and both the noodles and pork were a bit dry. The pork tasted off in addition to the poor texture. I wouldn't order it again. On the other hand, the wonton soup was delicious with deep flavor in the broth. Best wonton soup I've had from a casual restaurant. It was hot, flavorful, and not oily. The wontons were good as well. The filling had good flavor and the wrapper was a nice texture. The restaurant itself was calm and dim with a decent amount of seating available inside.

    The highlight of the meal was easily the hot appetizer -- the wontons in chili oil. The delicate…read morewontons were packed with flavorful filling and coated in a rich, aromatic chili oil that delivered the perfect balance of heat, spice, and savory depth. The sauce had just enough numbing warmth without overpowering the dish, and every bite was incredibly satisfying. The texture combination of silky wrappers and bold sauce made it an unforgettable starter. Beyond the appetizer, the restaurant offered a warm atmosphere and attentive service that made the dining experience even better. The presentation was thoughtful, portions were generous, and the flavors tasted authentic and carefully prepared. If you enjoy dishes with a little spice and a lot of flavor, the wontons in chili oil are absolutely worth ordering. I would definitely come back just for them.

    Kendall Park, NJ - the unassuming location of this restaurant in the corner of a strip mall belies…read moreits presentation of some of the best Chinese food I've had in NJ/NY, and in a region with no shortage of good-to-great authentic Chinese cuisine, that's saying something! When it comes to food, I never judge a burger by its bun, so thanks to Yelp for helping me find it. The sign in the window says "Asian fusion" which usually sends me running as it's often a cop-out label for bad mixed-up Asian cooking, but this is authentic y'all, meaning true-to-tradition dishes with a sometimes more contemporary application of ingredients or flavors. The "fusion" part must come from the fact that they have a small Taiwanese section as well as the main Szechuan/Sichuan menu, alongside a few familiar Chinese-American favorites like sesame chicken or broccoli x protein, so you can get that here too. Everything we ordered was phenomenal! Great flavors, generous portions, cooked with confidence and finesse. Compliments to the kitchen - they really know what they're doing. Not a single dish was lacking. They even put out peanuts at the start and serve fresh orange slices at the end of the meal. Very old school. We loved it all: * Salt & white pepper crispy chicken ("Taiwanese specialty") - well-battered and flavored, and perfectly crispy * Taiwanese minced pork rice * Chicken red curry - fabulous, with fresh vegetables and just the right balance of spice * Golden dish (fish) - very special dish in a salted duck egg yolk batter * Beef chow fun * Marinated crispy duck Wish I lived closer, but will definitely come back when we are in the area. Best of the best - very highly recommended!
