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.

It is not overly big or small. Decor is quite modern with a fish tank in the front. Menu has variety. We ordered the sliced fish in chili oil and was surprised at the big portion. It came well packed where leakage is almost impossible. It does not come with rice so I'm assuming the other dinner dishes don't come with rice as well. A box of rice was $1.50, which is not bad, they actually use good quality rice with this yellow chia seed type grain, couldn't quite make out what it was.

It's conveniently located in the large plaza alongside Home Depot and 99 Ranch. I've stopped by a few times for lunch, and their midday specials are incredible. For just $11.99, you get a main dish, rice, and soup. The portions are very generous--I always leave completely stuffed! My absolute favorite is the Basa Fillet with chili oil; it's packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The lunch menu is vast, so there are always plenty of different options to choose from, ensuring you'll never get bored even if you visit frequently. Beyond the food, the overall experience is consistently great. The dining room is clean and comfortable, and the service is exceptionally fast and friendly. They also offer discount days for teachers, seniors, and first responders, which is a wonderful touch for the community.

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.

Madison Ave…read more Dumont, NJ 07628 General Tso's Chicken Dinner Combo Boneless Spare Ribs Dinner Combo Located on the intersection of Madison Avenue and Veterans Plaza is a locally owned Chinese takeout spot. 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

A bit on the small side, but it was only $5, so you figure that would be the case that it was a small serving. The curry was a bit watery though. ++++ Tropical Mango with White Rice - Solid.
