    Nuclear red sauce
    Nicholas G.

    This place always seems to deliver exactly what I am looking for. They make solid general tso's and sweet and sour chicken. This isnt 5 star gourmet food but if you are craving chinese food this is it. It is inexpensive, quick delivery, and good product. Not much more you can ask for.

    Sesame chicken combo

    It's good I got sesame chicken with pork fried rice combo. Lots of food and taste good

    First time ordering and best Chinese I've had in Hoboken! Amazing crab rangoons, dumplings, and general tsos with pork fried rice all for $20!!!

    Where's the chicken? We got a container full of soggy fried dough with no chicken inside. What a ripoff.
    Anthony J.

    We haven't been too impressed the last couple of times we ordered from here, and I'm sorry to say this will be our last. My chef special crispy white meat chicken with walnuts contained almost no chicken at all---it was just a bunch of mushy pieces of fried dough (see my photo). Inside a few of the larger pieces, there were pathetic tiny shreds of chicken meat strands. Our crispy bacon rolls appetizer were burned to the point they were almost black (how can you mess up fried bacon?). Even our favorite spicy mei fun beef thai style contained only a few tiny pieces of beef. They are definitely cutting corners, and it shows. When a place starts doing things like this, it is usually a sign of things going downhill and I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't around for much longer.

    Chicken 116. Classic Chow Mein

    Ordered chicken chow mein. Was then given the below photo. Just soggy chicken and soggy vegetables and no noodles. Called and complained and I was laughed at and told that chow mein doesnt actually contain noodles and it's supposed to be all vegetables. MEIN MEANS NOODLE

    Leftover sesame chicken with one of two pieces of broccoli

    This rating is based on both the quality of food and the price that was paid. It is 3 star food as pretty typical if slightly above average Chinese takeout. Prices are good as bill for dinner combo, two spring rolls plus another entree with delivery and mead came to under 20. Spring rolls were not overly greasy and light on the wrapping. Sesame chicken could have used more broccoli but otherwise very good. Delivery came quickly and available on delivery.com. I will order from them again when want Chinese.

    Good American-style Chinese restaurants that charge reasonable prices are becoming harder and…read moreharder to find - this is one of the last standing. I found this spot while visiting a friend in the area and was pleasantly surprised by the fair pricing for good food, with most dishes and combinations costing less the $9. However, the portion sizes have become smaller over the last 2 years, with them ditching the traditional styrofoam platter for plastic containers that are at least 20% smaller. So far, every dish I had tasted good from General Tso's for $9 to the fried Chicken with rice for $8, and the chicken lo mein for $6. Just note that the sauce on items like General Tso's or Orange Chicken is quite sweet, but still not overwhelmingly so like other restaurants tend to be. It is not a fancy spot. There are just a few tables to dine in if you like, but I would recommend going if you don't want to eat with the occasional weirdo that stops by. Unlike many Chinese restaurants, the server taking orders did greet meet me when I entered and was short but polite. He even politely explained the total when I inquired because tax is not included in the price - for some strange reason I've had others get a little annoyed by that question. So, thumbs up on that. It is located in a busy residential area. So, if you are driving, parking is not easy to find. Your best bet is to find somewhere to temporarily pull over, then run in and grab your food. Overall, this is currently one of my few preferred Chinese spots in North Jersey. Whenever I'm in the area and want Chinese, this is the only place I trust for a tasty and decent-sized meal at a fair price.

I have yet to find a Chinese takeout spot that is consistent and hits the spot. Po Wong is the closest I've come to that (still not my preferred but they do the job). I got the Chicken w Broccoli which was a bit too saucy and the flavor was a bit off. The portion was solid and the chicken was cooked well, but it needed more salt and seasoning. The broccoli was fresh and tasty, but was loaded in this sauce which took away from it. The Vegetable Fried Rice is so good! Some of the best I've had and I like that their fried rice has a brown tint to it (most places I see nowadays are yellow). The Fried Yellow Banana was sweet, well-fried, and greasy. It's a nice appetizer to share and super cheap for what you're getting. There are some hits & misses on the menu. I haven't yet found the right order that is consistently good but it did the job!

I had a large beef & broccoli, and my girlfriend had General Tso's Tofu, and with a generous tip it all cost $20 DELIVERED. Easily the best Chinese food I've found in this area--where I've lived for around 12-13 years. We'll definitely order from them again, and highly recommend PO WONG!
