First time trying this place. I found it damn good. Solid food. Not over spiced or sauces. I got the Beef with Garlic and Pork Fried Rice. Very fresh and clean tasting (not overly heavy with spice). I'll definitely go back too see what else might be good Very clean and food was waiting for me when I arrived in 10 minutes. read more

This is always has been my go to restaurant until Mother's Day. My mom wanted Chinese food so we ordered it. My nephew and my mom got food poisoned from there. They got very sick, including me I'm very disappointed in this restaurant. This is always been my go to restaurant. Me my nephew and my aunt all got sick from this restaurant. If you want to get food poisoning, I will not recommend this restaurant. I don't know how the health department keeps this restaurant open. This gets zero stars in a thumbs down from me that's for sure. If you don't want to get food poisoning, I wouldn't recommend eating there. I should've called the health department on this place. Have this place shut down read more

New King Chef - Empty restaurant all the time - Chinese Near Me - Nutley, New Jersey

I didn't like the Shumi or the boneless ribs. They were very dry. Also, the Chicken with sauce was terrible. Sorry, I can't remember the exact name. read more

This is our go to Chinese take out spot. The food here is very good quality. We have tried many things over the years and they are always good. Some highlights would be-Spareribs, Hot and Sour Soup, Chicken and Broccoli, Fried Chicken Wings, House Special Chow Mei Fun, Sesame Noodles, Mu Shu Vegetable, Shrimp in Lobster Sauce. Give them a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

Not as expected, not easy to find parking over there, and wait long time to pick up your order. something wrong but I didn't like the place

Terrible good ! Terrible service! Stay away from this restaurant! They are so rude and disrespectful!

I am ordering from the now....LOL. Luv the King Chef! Their food and local delivery is terrific.

Take out last night food was ready quickly so I'll just give you the rundown of ordered food and taste. Hot & Sour Soup bland not very good Egg Roll was OK but lacked any substance inside Pork Fried Rice & Pork Lo Mein were average to good Beef & Broccoli was best thing ordered Cheese Dumplings were decent === All and all average take out Chinese food lots to try in the area so I'll take a look around in the future. read more

I am by no means an expert on "authentic" Chinese cuisine but I am definitely an expert on Chinese takeout and New King Chef beats them all. Just trust me because I've ordered from them all and been disappointed each time. When I was in college, I had a Chinese roommate who introduced me to "real" Chinese food at hole-in-the-wall locations and ever since then I have been more critical of what I will let pass for "Chinese food." Chinese takeout options have declined in quality since the 90's but this is my new go-to location for Chinese takeout and every item ordered has been to my satisfaction. My recommendation is to ask for egg in the fried rice and then mix it with a dash of their "homemade" mustard and I promise you will like the taste. When you are in the mood for Chinese food, your taste buds should be delighted, not disappointed and trust me they will be very happy at this location. Maybe one day I'll meet a Chinese girl who can re-introduce me to real and authentic Chinese cuisine! But until then, New King Chef is just fine. read more

Update: I just finished lunch and I couldn't eat most of it. It's just terrible and I threw it away. I thought this place would better than it was. I ordered scallion pancakes and crispy orange beef. The pancakes were sopping wet with grease. Even my air fryer didn't bring them back to life and there were hardly any scallions in them. The orange beef was battered and was soggy doughy onto the beef. The pork fried rice was tasteless. I will not be back. read more

My new favorite Nutley area Chinese delivery. We've ordered several times and it's been really good.

Great food and the service was amazing. I've been looking for a good place for Chinese and this plane was a great find. The food was ready quickly for pickup definitely recommend. read more

My family and I have been ordering from this restaurant for a while now. We always order delivery...we live about 7 minutes away from the restaurant. The quality of the delivery service has tanked in my opinion. Every time we order, the food takes longer and longer to come. This wouldn't be a huge deal but when you are told the delivery will take 30 minutes and it takes 90...that's quite frustrating. And 50% of the time the order is wrong. The food is pretty good which is why I generously rated it 2 stars and not just one. My suggestion would be to pick it up and try to avoid delivery if you can And always double check your order immediately. read more

Very fast service. Price on par with other Chinese food restaurants. Food had little less flavor than what I am used to, so wasn't overly thrilled with quality. Staff very nice and place was clean though. read more

I've been eating here for six years, and have never had a problem, with my food order, customer service, and or delivery. They are always fast with my delivery and are polite. Wouldn't hurt to tip well either. Maybe they'll remember you. lol read more

Bought dinner here. Called for take out and I went there to pick it up. Food is good. Ordered sweet and sour chicken pint, pork dumplings comes in 8, beef chow fun, egg roll. Very quick.. typical Chinese spot read more

Lack in flavor. Only thin I like is that You can taste the freshness in the meat. Been living in this area for 3yrs and still haven't found a good Chinese restaurant. On the plus side, Delivery was super fast. read more

New King Chef - Lack in flavor - Chinese Near Me - Nutley, New Jersey

When my wife and I moved here a couple of years ago we looked for a quick take out place. After trying 3 places in the area we loved King Chef. The original place had great food but it wasn't very big so it was something for takeout. My wife loves the chicken vegetable noodle soup every time she is sick. I love the house special fried rice and sesame chicken. My daughter enjoy the sweet and sour chicken. Sometimes the food is a little to greasy for my taste but it's not the norm. New spot is huge very well lit and has a tv in the corner. It is clean and well decorate and has street and lot parking. I am willing to take the longer ride to get my food or just bring the kids down when they want to get out for a quick bite to eat. If you're new in the area stop by they have quick delivery and good food. Enjoy! read more

New King Chef - empty dining room with tables and chairs - Chinese Near Me - Nutley, New Jersey

Looked run down. It's in a nice part of Nutley on the main road (Franklin), but doesn't look inviting. I thought maybe the food be be fantastic in a deceptive way, however it was sub par at best. Bland and chicken was rubbery. 1 and done for me..‍ read more

Didn't receive my full order, I called back asking if they can deliver it. Which they agreed upon, after waiting 3hrs still did not receive it. Called back and spent 30mins arguing, getting hung up on twice, and yelled at. read more

Absolutely HORRIBLE business!!! VERY VERY VERY RUDE owner!! They constantly mess up orders and scream at customers! They need to learn how to act professionally and not treat their customers so badly!! read more

It's okay Chinese food. The food was fresh and the staff was friendly. I ate inside while waiting for my appointment. The fried chicken wings needed more seasoning read more

Usually order frOm here with no problem . This time the guy on the phone was completely rude telling me it's $15 minimum to pay with myy caRd . Mind yoU I've ordered from here paid with my card and no issues . So I nicely ask can you just process the order please and he was just totally rude !!! read more

This is our favorite Chinese food in the area!! We have been to several restaurants in Belleville but the food was really mediocre. We tried this place one night and were really pleased, so when we are in the mood for Chinese- this is our spot! General Tso, shrimp w/ broccoli, fried chicken is Great. Their BBQ spare rib tips are just hard and it doesn't come with any sauce (even when you request more sauce). The only reason they do not get 5 stars is because of the inconsistent service. Some days they are friendly and other days they just rush through your order and don't want to speak to you.--- but that's practically most Chinese spots I know. read more

I have never in my entire life had amazing Chinese food as I have had from this restaurant. I LOVE Chinese food. Believe me, I have tried every restaurants to in the Belleville/Nutley area and this one, by a long shot, provides the freshest and delicious Chinese food I have EVER had. If there is one thing I would suggest, it would be to make the dumpling wrappers a little thinner! Amazing food - I recommend this place to everyone and order around once/twice a week. That's how good it is!! read more

I ordered fried dumplings, when i go home my wife eat one and said it tasted different, they were vegetables ones. Also when i ordered them the order was for eight. I received 7. I went back and told them of the problem, they said oh no there is meat in them, also i asked why only 7 and was told that they are bigger now and you only get 7. The clerk told me there was nothing they could do for me, so i asked to talk with the owner and the clerk said he was to busy cooking. I guess they realy don't care about my business, so be careful in what you order and what you get. I will move on too a new place. read more

Great spot. Excellent food and always timely when ordered. I usually pick it up but they also deliver quite reliably. Love the boneless ribs and rice dishes. Think the chefs there are quite good. read more

The lady on the phone felt like she didn't want to be thier. Didn't double check the order. Told me that the food will be thier in 15-20 mins..food came 45 mins later.. Food was bland. .no taste to it. I ordered from this place before food was great, but I think they have new owners. read more

Their food is always fresh and good. Owner is really nice and friendly. Their chicken with broccoli is the best.

Always great service! fresh! And Clean! My favorite chinese spot in Nutley area and I'm probably getting from them once a week

Most Chinese restaurants are fairly interchangeable, by a fairly substantial margin. King Chef, when it comes down to either service or the quality of the ingredients they use, is simply on another level. This is sensational food; the only real knock is their less than ideal menu for diet-conscious eaters which costs a fair deal more than other stops while providing little difference in quality. Overall among the finest eateries in the Nutley area. read more

We have been ordering food there for about three years.I placed a lunch order in one of items was the pepper steak combination to find Two pieces of meat. I called back and explained the issue with no help or motivation to fix the problem. My Family will not order there again. read more

Great service, great food! Always delicious food! Never disappointed! Coming from Los Angeles it was hard to find really good Chinese food but New King Chef is just as good as my favorite restaurant back in LA! read more

My boyfriend introduced me to the vegetable lo mein from here and it's delicious. It has plenty of vegetables and is flavorful. A large container of the lo mein is plenty for the two of us. I've also ordered egg rolls from here and they were pretty good. I called to order last night for delivery to Nutley and the lady on the phone was pleasant. The food was delivery pretty quickly and was still piping hot when it arrived. There really aren't many Chinese restaurants in the area that I've liked, this one has proven to the the best so far. read more

OMG....we live in Harrison and found this place last night, let me tell you....the BEST Chinese Food we have tried since moving here a year ago!!!! Seriously!!! He had General Tso's Chicken and I has Sesame Chicken! The Bomb!!!!! We will become regulars. And to top it off, my precious dog, Raven loves the food also. And she is very picky. read more

I usually order from New King Chef and the food is not great but passable. I don't know what happened this past Friday but the food was terrible. The dumplings were doughy and the meat had no flavor at all. The dinner I ordered was also tasteless. I guess I will have to find a new place for my Chinese food. read more
