    hot and sour soup, shrimp chow fun, vegetable fried rice, sweet and sour pork, beef with mushroom
    Jane Y.

    My favorite American Chinese food take out place, possibly ever. So why only the 4 stars? The place isn't the cleanest, the staff isn't the friendliest, and it's the type of place where you constantly hear horror stories like cooks in the back (it's an open kitchen and you see it right from the register) dipping their bare hands into vats of cracked eggs to fish stuff out... but if you're willing to overlook all of that (idk if the stories are true as I've never witnessed it myself, but my friends claim it to be - and they still love the place regardless) the food is delicious! I've never been able to find an American Chinese take out place as good. The establishment is not fancy, and definitely not sparkly clean, but they package their food well. They offer services on the delivery apps, but I like to directly give places my business, so when I call the employee who answers is never friendly, but they always get my order correct and the estimated time for pick up is always accurate. And the prices are very fair. They also have a simple set up in the front where you can take your take out and eat it there outdoors if you please - great for this current covid-19 times, but it's also regularly used otherwise. They have so many things on the menu, so if you need some suggestions, my favorites are: beef chow fun, sweet and sour pork, happy family and their hot and sour soup! They also have a lunch menu which is FABULOUS and a great deal for your buck. Also, you can always modify the rice that comes with your entree. Rice options are: friend rice, white rice, and brown rice.

    Lobster with ginger and scallions

    I ordered the lobster with ginger and scallions and was a little apprehensive about it. But did it anyway I'm so glad I did it was delicious and the lobster was not small. It was a nice size.

    House Special Wontons (aka "Crack Dumplings")
    Andrea T.

    4 fast food type stars. Although I have not lived in Cresskill in almost 15 years, I still have my menu numbers committed to memory. The wontons, affectionately called "crack dumplings" are made in house, and their roast pork fried rice has never included peas and carrots (very important). Don't show up at Good Taste expecting: -a maitre d' -a restroom -a table -chair(s) However, if you enjoy picking up the phone and ordering an entire menu section's worth of food and having it ready for pick up in 10 minutes and be entirely edible and reasonably priced, knock yourself out and give them a call.

    I haven't eaten from this place since the 90's and I ordered delivery yesterday. The woman on the phone was short and quick taking my order (typical for a Chinese takeout place). My delivery came in less than 15 minutes (I live about a mile from here). The delivery guy was weird in the sense that he just took my money and left. My bill came to $18.48 and I gave him a coupon for $2 off with a $20 bill. He said okay and walked away. What if I wanted change? I didn't, but I never said that. Anyway, I ordered 2 Roast Pork Egg Rolls (big and tasty), House Special Wontons (really really good. The sauce is great and they give you a lot of wontons), a pint of Hot & Sour soup (tasty but needed more heat), and the Shrimp with Lobster Sauce with Pork Fried Rice (old skool lobster sauce with ground pork and HUGE shrimp). I love that this place doesn't put peas in their delicious fried rice or lobster sauce (I hate peas) - back in the day Chinese places usually didn't, but most do now. Another important thing for me was that their rice wasn't yellow (I hate that a lot of places use yellow rice). Overall I really enjoyed my food (and enjoying the leftovers today). A couple of notes: they charge $1 for delivery, even though I ordered egg rolls they didn't throw duck sauce or hot mustard in my bag (just hot sauce and soy), and they charge $.75 for hot & sour soup if you get it with the lunch special (lunch specials come with egg drop soup or wonton soup - a lot of places charge to upgrade to the hot & sour soup).

    River Edge, NJ - Wang's is a Chinese restaurant with a regional focus on Hunan cuisine, along with…read moreserving up your typical American-Chinese standards. It is similar to Sichuan/Szechuan cuisine in ways, in that there is an emphasis on spicy foods, although the spice profiles differ. It is in the space formerly occupied by a different Chinese restaurant called Joyce (RIP - I loved and miss their short-lived foray into seafood boils). Although there are many great authentic (meaning regionally specialized) Chinese restaurants in Bergen County and northern NJ, including several Sichuan places, this is the only Hunan one I'm aware of (without venturing further south into NJ), and is certainly one of the nicest Chinese restaurants atmosphere-wise, with an elegant dining room. If you want to try the interesting and authentic dishes, of which there are plenty, order from the sections of the menu labeled with "Hunan" or "Home Style." The soups and cold appetizers are very traditional too. The house speciality is the Hunan steamed fish head with pickled chili - the platter is quite impressive and takes 20-30 min to prepare. You can add tofu (recommended) or noodles for an additional $5. We ordered this but since I'm not a fish head fan (and like my fish very simply dressed) - I think it was a type of carp - the appreciation for it was lost on me. It's topped with a heap of red chilis but is actually not as spicy as it looks. Personally I prefer the fish fillet dishes such as the fish with ginger, which has very tender filet slices. I loved the soup dumplings (large and soupy), shrimp with salted egg yolk (or any salted egg yolk dishes, which aren't easy to find), and enjoyed the tender sautéed beef dishes like beef with spring onion or the spicy green pepper with steak, with crunchy peppers that give a piquant refreshing kick. They have whole Peking duck (Beijing roast duck)! The menu only shows pricing for the whole duck but we asked for half and they obliged. To be honest it's not the best Peking duck I've had but the balance of crispy skin (that's yet not too fatty) to generously shaved lean duck meat was unimpeachable. And they use high-quality crepes that are superbly thin but do not tear. The lo mein is also pretty good - it's slightly smoky and is better than common. Parking tip: there are only a few spots in front but there is a parking lot in the back of the building with plenty of spaces. There are lots of exciting and exotic menu offerings and still many we'd like to try, so we'll be back repeatedly.

Never had eggplant and garlic sauce and it was very good. Boneless ribs came with white rice . My son doesn't like vegetables so on his sesame chicken I requested veggie out and it was perfect. Everything we ordered was so much they were not cheap with their servings . The lady Taking the order was making sure no other orders had special instructions-since I requested no veggies for one. Ambiance doesn't apply because I ordered takeout. Will definitely order from New Ho Won again.

NY Strip Steak Cheeseburger & Fries Here is the novelty regarding all of these appetizing entrees; they were all prepared from a Chinese take out restaurant! While most of the double sided menu offers Asian cuisine, there is one section specifically geared for American dishes! And the best part is it all tastes fantastic! The starters are on par. They taste identical to what you'd get served at a pub. The cheeseburger was a juicy, giant patty served on a brioche bun. The burger exceeds a Quarter Pounder in terms of taste and size! The steak was also decent, but make sure you have your favorite bottle of steak sauce handy! It's not Longhorn quality, but you'll still get your money's worth and will be satisfied. The calamari was more chewy than crispy, but it wasn't the worst I've had. In fact, it tastes better when I re-heated it in the oven for my preferred level of crispiness. There isn't any indoor seating, so take their outdoor sign literally. If you are looking for delicious non-Asian dishes at reasonable prices at a Chinese spot, this is the place to go.

    This has been one of my favorite places to order Chinese from. I think they changed owners/chefs…read morerecently because it was absolutely awful the last time I ordered last week. To start, they got our order wrong, ok...It happens, but it all went downhill from there. The Sesame Chicken was completely overdone, it was like shoe leather, it's usually outstanding. It had about four sesame seeds on it. We asked for it extra spicy, and it didn't have even a hint of spice. They were supposed to send Beef with garlic sauce, instead they sent some absolutely tasteless chicken dish with what looked like boiled tiny strips of chicken with some vegetables and a TON of that gross baby corn. It was flavorless. We got the combos, so they came over pork fried rice and an egg roll. The rice was mealy, mushy and flavorless. We usually love their rice, it tasted entirely different. There was nothing fried about it, hands down worst pork fried rice I've ever had. The egg roll was hard and greasy with just cabbage inside. Again flavorless. The boneless ribs were just ok, nothing like how they usually are. They are usually very tender and flavorful. These were lacking flavor and fatty. The Wonton soup was completely different as well. What are usually pillowy soft wontons, were thick and gummy. The broth tasted like bath water. So the entirety of our meal tasted NOTHING like the Empire we know and love. This is so disappointing. The same thing happened with Chen's Yummy House. Every time that we find a great place, they change hands and it goes to crap. I just figured I'd warn everyone that this place is NOT the same. I thought maybe they just had a bad night, but I looked at recent Google reviews before posting this, and I see a similar complaint. This was so bad that I don't even think I'll give them another chance for redemption. Every single component of our meal sucked, and we were out $50.

Out of all the choices on the takeout menu, I decided to explore the two most popular plates. General Tso's Chicken Dinner Combo: The hot, spicy chicken is chewy on the inside while slightly crunchy on the outside; expect a mild kick. I'm satisfied broccoli was included, but my only critique is that I would have preferred that the vegetable was mixed in with the tangy sauce. Also included with this combo is pork fried rice and wonton soup. The three wontons and the broth were piping hot. The noodles go hand in hand with the soup. It is a win win whether you choose to have them dry or soaked. Boneless Spare Ribs Dinner Combo: The ribs are tender and chewy with a savory taste. For this combo, I explored the white rice and egg roll. This appetizer was filled with cabbage and ground pork. I enjoyed it, but the size of the egg roll could have been slightly larger with a tad bit more pork. Both combos can also be purchased as a lunch special if you arrive between 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM. An adequate amount of seating is available if you decide to dine in. Empire Szechaun is open six days per week; arrive any day except Tuesday. I highly recommend this location if you are on the go and need a quick meal, especially the two popular menu items. #chinesefood #chinesetakeout #generaltsoschicken #bonelessspareribs #eggrolls #wontonsoup #whiterice #porkfriedrice #dinnercombo #foodstagram #localbusiness #chinesebusiness #foodreview #foodstagram #njfoodie
