I was given a gift card to try this newcomer and I was impressed. They don't use copious amounts of salt for which I am grateful and the vegetables are very fresh. I would like to see more options, though. They don't offer kung pao chicken for example. But I would definitely recommend it. It's sit down and take out. read more

Always delicious. We have gotten take out numerous times, and the food is always hot and delicious. The place is nice, staff is friendly. When they say that it will take 25 minutes it is 25 minutes. The food hasn't failed, and I highly recommend. The ambiance is nice, nothing special, but a nice place, I think more of a take out venue. Food is delicious!!! read more

Our new go to restaurant for a Chinese in the area everything is very flavorful and fresh! The flavor is phenomenal and the freshness is top-notch. Our Favorite is the Chicken Fried Rice...yummy and different from others. General Tsao chicken and Chicken w Broccoli read more

See all

Healthy Food is a medium-sized Chinese restaurant that is exclusively takeout/delivery during the Covid pandemic. The menu doesn't deviate much from standard Chinese takeout, but they do make your food freshly and quickly with tasty ingredients. The phone service is so polite, and they've created a virtually contact-less pick-up service at the door. I've tried various items on the menu, but I feel the Lo Mein is standout here and I get it every time. A very big portion for about $7 can feed two. Overall, Healthy Food is very good in a simple way and prices are reasonable. read more

Sorry to say this was not the Chinese food experience I was looking for. It might be healthy. The flavors were too bland. Even the dumpling sauce when I tasted it. I had to add more soy a little bit of ginger and garlic to bring out the flavor. The service was excellent. They were very pleasant on the phone and the prices were reasonable. read more

The food is always so fresh. It comes delivered very hot. I been using them for some time now. I never ate in but I believe it's more a take out place. I compare it too many places. They deliver in a short time. They give u a discount of ten percent if u pay cash on orders over $30. That's great !!! read more

We stopped here on a lark and enjoyed some terrific Chinese food. It all tasted homemade, it was piping hot and flavorful. The young woman who served us was very sweet. We will definitely return. If you go, try the steamed pork dumplings and the eggplant in garlic sauce! read more

My friend took me to dinner here with her family a while ago and we continue to eat here whenever we start craving a Healthy Food fix. Healthy Food is a quaint, little Chinese restaurant in Verona, where you can do dine-in, take-out, or order delivery. All options are great. The restaurant's interior is very tranquil and the staff are welcoming and attentive. Take-out is quick, especially if you call it in ahead of time. Lastly, delivery is always on point - even during lunch time (note:delivery requires a $10 minimum). My friend and her family have some dietary restrictions (they need to keep their sodium and carbohydrate intake down). Healthy is a great option for similar type customers because all dishes are prepared with trans fat free and cholesterol free canola oil, without MSG, and fresh ingredients. Every thing on the menu is pretty legit. Our favorites are the salt and pepper shrimp and the flounder. I have a thing for the Maggi Chicken dish (it's not for everybody, but it reminds me of food I ate when I was a kid). I highly recommend Healthy Food if you are in the area. read more

Solid Chinese takeout place in Verona. In area w/mediocre Chinese food at best, I am always a bit skeptical but this place delivered. We got take-out as while there is ample table space, the ambiance didn't seem to inviting. The food was ready right on time and they take 10% off the bill if you pay in cash. They also do a good job on packaging so once I got the food home, it was still intact. I felt like the prices were a bit high for what you got, especially as they charge extra for brown rice. They don't use MSG and use less processed ingredients. I got moo shu veggies for my entree and a side of veggie dumplings to split w/my family. I loved the steamed dumplings - they didn't fall apart, had a good texture, and a delicious helping of veggies inside. My moo shu was good as well - nothing amazing but it didn't have that oily, greasy feeling that alot of Chinese take out has. My mom got shrimp w/ginger which came w/the nicest presentation - whole shrimp neatly layered over greens. It was a bit pricey for $13. Others got mixed steamed veggies (also a healthier version of the standard) and broccoli over garlic sauce and were pleased. For what this place is, I highly recommend it! read more

Always a great meal from Healthy Foods. We've only done take out or delivery and everything is always super hot and fresh. If you pay in cash for delivery you get a little discount which is appreciated! Our go to favorites are the general tso's chicken and chicken & broccoli-all white meat chicken! We also love that they have an entire "healthy" section to their menu which is perfect for many different diets. read more

This Chinese place has very delicious food all their meat and veg are very fresh and there's so many different food to choose. This Chinese food place is very good and has good service and is a very good choice. read more

it is very good. I love all the choices and there's always so much to choose from. The service to super good and the workers there are absolutely so kind. The food is always very tasty ans glod and always have fresh vegetables and meat. I would not get bored of going there everyday because of how much choices there are!! I really recommend this restaurant. All the food is healthy and fresh and always tastes great!! I would always come! read more

This review is long overdue. We have been ordering delivery from here for years. In my opinion it's the best Chinese food around, not only because of the superior quality and fresh ingredients, but the price is amazing too. The big bowl Asian noodle soups are so jam-packed with veggies that there is hardly any broth you can see. For only $9.50 you can get a few meals out of it. And I love the plain sautéed and grilled and steamed options if you're watching your diet. Overall, how can you beat great quality and price? read more

This restaurant opened in the same space as the recently closed Pahang. Great find! It's mostly Chinese food with a few of the old dishes served by Pahang. We had cold noodles with sesame sauce which was better than the average gooey mess they usually serve you around here, Tangerine Beef, which was very well prepared, and Boneless Crispy Duck with Hoisin Sauce. The duck was coooked perfectly not overdone and the sauce and the vegetables were wonderful. The chef states that he useses only fresh ingredients no canned veggies and no MSG. While I understand why they picked the name "Healthy Foods" for thier restaurant they might do with another choice. From the name one cannot tell if this is a health food restaurant or a low end Chinese Takeout place. It is neither. This is high end Asian cooking. Try it! read more

This is by far the best Chinese I have had in the area so far. It is the most similar to West coast Chinese. I like how they use REAL vegetables and meat and not the frozen boxed supply that every other place gets. And it has way less sugar and salt because if it! This may be off putting to the normal Jersey Folk that smother everything in sugar sauce but I assure you it is delicious. I highly recommend the Beef Chow Fun, the Kung Pao chicken, and steamed dumplings! It may be pricier than the others but that's what happens when using fresh ingredients. read more

Quality and taste is always consistent. Never disappoints. Fresh and delicious! Did curbside pickup during these trying times and all went well! read more

5% chicken 95% veg, unacceptable!! the person who took our order on the phone is very unprofessional. last time eating at this place. read more

Healthy Food - 10. Chicken with String Beans in Brown Sauce - Asian Fusion Near Me - Verona, New Jersey

Would also give 0 stars tonite if that was an option. The worst ever... tasteless bland loaded with cabbage filler instead of chicken and shrimp. Usually very good food, but tonight just ruined it for us. Really a waste of time and money. read more

Stars r out tonight-- smart lady on the phone if ur or ordering for the the x to help out- with the menu. Food was great selection with help perfectgot my menu with out calling and ordering from other places the very happy and good and delivery most definitely I will order again read more

Wonderful! A friend had recommended Healthy Food several years ago. I wish I had listened to her assurance sooner. My partner and I ordered for delivery. The taker of the order on the phone was very pleasant. The delivery to nearby Montclair was quick. The dishes were superbly wonderful, and they were thoughtfully wrapped twice to avoid spillage during transit. The dumplings seemed made-in-store: light, fresh and delicious. The shrimp rolls were light and flavorful. The honey chicken was not heavy. All white meat; no left-over dark meat that is often found at too many restaurants offering Asian fare. For years I've be getting Chinese food from a Cedar Grove restaurant that began well but has declined to uncleanliness, fatty-starch laden dishes, filthy on-premise conditions and delivery that never could follow directions. Healthy Foods Verona is now my go-to restaurant of choice for Chinese food. read more

Order out from here all the time. Love the vegetarian options on the menu and you can taste that it is "healthier" and not as heavy as other Chinese food places. Inside the restaurant is very dirty which is why I prefer not to eat there. read more

They have the worst service and snippy order takers. Every time we order delivery it takes an hour or more for food. I would t mind the time if they actually set the customers expectation. Tonite I am 70 minutes into waiting for our food to arrive. As for the food, avoid the chow fun, but the fried rice is good so is the honey chicken and pink dumplings. When the food finally arrived, they did go out of their way to come back with a missing dish and comp'd it for us. Maybe there is hope. read more

Friendly service, excellent food! This place is a great addition to the community. Atmosphere is peaceful, quiet - a great spot for a nice, slow dinner. Servers and host were friendly and attentive. The sauces they make are especially delicious, the generous serving-sizes always result in leftovers to bring home - we have found ourselves visiting this restaurant multiple times in the past couple of months. read more

Best Chinese Food in New Jersey! All their food is fresh and high quality. Each dish is prepared correctly and delicious.

I know how bad Chinese food CAN be. But if I'm paying 14 dollars for something that 3 people won't eat after the 3rd bite, I'm suprised they stay open. I brought my food back to tell them I wouldn't feed it to my cat, and they laughed... so I left it on their front door. If anyone needs free food tonight, it's there on the street. I'm sure it still be there. Rats don't eat that. read more

I never knew "Healthy Food" meant tasteless food. "Pass the , sirachi, sesame oil...I'll even take ketchup....just put some flavor in this soup please'. read more

I would otherwise like this place, but they don't heat it . Be prepared to sit with your coat and gloves the entire meal. How cheap can you get! read more

If I could give -5 star I would. This is the worst Chinese food I have lived in NJ I had shrimp and broc it had no taste. The shrimp was not fresh and I'm being nice by saying that The rice was beyond greasy My daughter had a shrimp lo mein she had to chuck it. They should be ashamed to put the word health on their stationary. NASTY!!! read more

Andrew K. went to a Chinese restauarant and expected to get good Thai food?!! It's like complaining about the hamburgers at a seafood restaurant... I find the Chinese food to be more than adequate, less spiked with undesirables, and very tasty. This restaurant is comparable to T. S. Ma in Montclair but has a much cheaper lunch special at $5.99 for takeout ($6.99 for dine-in). Best of all, any dish in the menu can be made into a lunch special. You can't beat that! Only negative is parking (street only). There are meters along Bloomfield Ave as well as 3 municipal spots in the nearby bank. West-bound eaters will have to do a u-turn somewhere quiet to get back on Bloomfield Ave. read more

Excellent!! Didn't have anything I did not like! The fried rice is great!! Also try the veggie wonton soup!

I always go for the H16 with Brown rice. I love the ginger book and bok choi. Always great can't complain. When I want Chinese this is the place to get it read more

This is my favorite place for Chinese in Essex County. Not too greasy. The Pork Fried Rice is especially delicious, and I get it with brown rice. I also really like the Kung Pao Chicken. Fast service, fast delivery. read more

Always a great option on the take out rotation. Ribs are great. Love the vegetables which are always fresh. Moo shu is my favorite which they are the best in the area. read more

DELICIOUS!!!! Just moved to Verona and needed a restaurant that could provide both tasty and healthy food in less than 45 mins. The fact that my 3 & 5 yr old prefers their chicken Lo Mein over chicken nuggets speaks volume! read more

Terrible customer service.....after I received the wrong order I called to let them know and proceeded to argue with me for over 15 minutes and refused to bring the correct order. Woman on the phone was incredibly rude and so was the delivery driver..... never ordering from here again. read more

I have ordered food to be delivered from Healthy Food in Verona several times. THEY ARE THE BEST!!! Our favorites are the Chicken Chow Mein (plenty of chicken & cooked to perfection!), lo mein, sesame chicken & garlic chicken. This is the freshest, best Asian food that I have ever had! In fact, I'm tempted to order some now! The only other comment that I would make is a suggestion that they add crab rangoon ot the menu. That is another one of my favorite indulgences, but they do not offer this on their menu. Oh, well...........their food is still scrumptious and never dissappoints our family or guests! read more

Some stuff is good, some stuff not so good, but if you are looking for really really good, go with Chef Special Crispy Beef and Green Curry Chicken. Mini Chicken Dumplings also great. read more

Worst pad Thai ever!! No peanuts, No lime. Just awful!! Trust me I'm not a picky person but this was the equivalent of ordering a cheeseburger and getting a pineapple. I called to complain and they said this is how they make it. Well I guess you just lost a customer. Take it off your menu unless you make it properly whats the point. I saw another Thai food complaint on yelp, wish i read this first. read more

Had delivery. Gave the man too much money (overpaid $20). Didn't realize it until after the restaurant had closed. Called the next day and he denied getting the extra money. So I went back the day after to personally speak with him. Still denied getting the extra money. I was very upset and asked if it was possible to get a gift certificate for another time. Owner told me no and that she believed the delivery man and not me. Extremely poor business. Will never eat or order from there again. It's a shame how dishonest people can be. read more
