Simply the best around Everything we ever order is perfect no complaints no problems very friendly staff along with extras they supply like fortune cookies and rice or noodles read more

Anytime I have a crave for Chinese food, first place I think of is precious Chinese cuisine. I live about 30 minutes away but trust me it's worth the travel. You have to admit when you go to different places, the food may not be cooked the way you had it the first time. It's like they add their own flavor and no all Chinese restaurants aren't the same nor do they taste the same. I personally don't like the chicken I would rather the broccoli and extra sauce on rice. It's so good that my mouth is watering as I type this. I didn't get a chance to take a pic of the chicken wings. But no those are good too. It's not much to say. I haven't tried anything else there only bc I'm not into too much but the one thing in the picture lol read more

Precious Chinese Cuisine - Chicken with broccoli less chicken more broccoli extra sauce with plain fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Riverdale, New Jersey

Excellent Chinese food! But WHO EVER would have thought that, the best fried calamari would be part of a Saturday evening order that included lomein, mei fun and greens? Precious is now our go-to place, for fried calamari! Crispy on the outside, tender and moist in the inside. . .and NOT dripping in oil. read more

Awful. Eggroll not cooked and they always give you the bigger portion to make you pay more instead of asking in you just want a pint.

always delicious & fresh! even during the COVID pandemic, they have taken great measures to ensure the safety of their customers and themselves & still have the food tasting fresh as ever. three years of eating amazing chinese food here, and they are still 5 star good to service. tried the mixed steamed veggies from the healthy food section w white rice. bf had the chicken wings and fried rice - he loved it as usual! read more

Precious Chinese Cuisine - steamed mixed veggies w white rice - Chinese Near Me - Riverdale, New Jersey

My go-to fast food style Chinese spot. Just do take out. Not worth sitting inside. I get general tso chicken combo with pork fried rice or lo mien. Food is always consistent. read more

After trying two other locations for Chinese in the area I was really disappointed in the quality of the food but my friend and co-worker turned me on to precious Chinese cuisine and I'm a believer that you can find good Chinese food in this area. Small location with 4 large tables if you choose to dine in. Very clean and the staff is pretty attentive. We came in and placed an order for pick up and it was ready in about 10 mins. The lunch prices are very reasonable, my sesame shrimp was only $6.95 and came with pork fried rice and your choice of soup or soda. I'll have to stop back in here to try some other options to please my pallet but over all this is the best Chinese I've found in this area so far. read more

Precious Chinese Cuisine - Seaseme shrimp - Chinese Near Me - Riverdale, New Jersey

Our new go to in the area for Chinese Cuisine. Everything is flavorful and delicious.

Definitely my favorite Chinese food in the area! Always delicious and always fast and friendly service.

Best Chinese food in riverdale. Plus they have a variety of other ethnic cuisines. Try this one you will like it.

I hate posting negative reviews I know how hard it is in the restaurant business. It OMG Absolute worst. General Tso chicken was mystery chicken. Wantons in the soup where hard as rocks and dumplings meat was just inedible. Left all three dishes on the table paid and walked out. Couldn't eat any of it. read more

I love this place!! We are used to getting Chinese food from Wayne but switched it up and tried Riverdale. This is the second time having Precious and the quality is leagues above average Chinese takeout in the area. I've had sugary, sticky, sauces masking flavorless and food for a while and this is not that. Definitely higher quality and noticed by all! Thank you! read more

Really awful food. I can't believe there are actually good reviews for this place. Complete waste of time and money. Couldn't finish it and threw it out. read more

If you're into being nearly HOSPITALIZED by food allergies eat here. My family has shellfish allergies, and specifically put that information in our order. Well much to our shock and horror there was shrimp in the food. Unprofessional, dangerous and and potentially deadly. Eat at your own risk!!! read more

Food is excellent at Precious! Almost as good as Golden China in Pequannock, where I used to live. Always fresh and tasty!

First time ordering from them and was Happily surprised on how fresh and well made it was. Delivery was not to long even though I was a ways away. read more

I'm surprised with some of these poor reviews, I have very good luck I guess, and yes there are times the delivery can be of an hour, But i use my head and know that at 7pm I outta go pick my food up instead!! They are Nice people and I think they're sushi menu is good and versatile, reasonably priced. Since I lived here for 3 years it's the only spot I've eaten at, i'm originally from flushing queens the Asian Mecca of America and know that when you find a good Chinese restaurant that suits you, you stick with it!! PS try the Cool Summer Roll it's one of my guilty pleasures here read more

I have gone there on 4 occasions and have never been disappointed. The egg rolls are crispy, boneless ribs were great, even cold. The Mango chicken was incredible. Everything I have had was great. read more

My family has been enjoying "Precious" for at least 5+ years now. The four stars are for the food plus the kind attitude ... good people and super-fast delivery are usually very reliable. I can't comment on their Thai, Malaysian or Sushi/Japanese as I haven't tried enough of their offering - but the selection is wonderful if you're adventurous! Try their Cantonese Noodle Soups for something different - they even have a "Wonton Noodle" soup (both wontons and your choice of noodles!) for those of us NOT COUNTING carbs. In this country, you won't find many Chinese/Asian Restaurants named "Precious" so ... good for them for being creative. I've often wondered what would happen to the Chinese Restaurant business if they banned the words "Hunan", "Imperial", "Panda", "Palace", "Golden" and "Kitchen" ... it would be anarchy I tells ya, anarchy! Don't go to Chili's or some other franchised cuisine-killer - SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL RESTAURANTS. Your dollars are your most powerful and effective form of true resistance (and no, I didn't forget about your voting rights). LOCAL SUPPORT OF SMALLER BUSINESSES PROVIDES GLOBAL SUPPORT TO MANY OF OUR TROUBLES. Isn't it better to know where your dollars go when you hand them over to a real, local merchant versus a non-descript purchase at somewhere like Sports Authority that you later discover is a subsidiary of some defense contractor or soulless pharmaceutical behemoth.

We are neighbors with the owners of Precious. They always have delicious food, timely delivery fashion and a great atmosphere for dining in. The food is always fresh and leaves you feeling full afterwards. Their sushi is also great! Online ordering is simple and they're never late. Recommended for a quick bite to eat if you're in the area. read more

I've tried Chinese a few times since moving to the area, and this is the first place that I WOULD GO BACK TO without pangs of guilt -- knowing that the flavor fix usually comes with heaps of fat and shiny sauces... At Precious Chinese Food, you can feel good about what you're getting. The food was fresh and the meat and seafood portions were right-sized and well-prepared. My only warning is to take the Peppers on the menu seriously. If you order something that the menu indicates as spicy -- it will be SPICY :) Per the other Yelpers, I did take out. And unfortunately, so did everybody else. Three takeout orders were being managed in the short time I was there. But there appeared to be an absence of eat-in customers. read more

That was simply awful Chinese food! Bland like breaded cardboard. Yuk! Waste of money.

I have taken food out occasionally from Precious, but today was the first time I ever sat down for lunch. It was decidedly spartan; no crispy noodles, no duck sauce or hot mustard, no pot of tea, and when I finished, no fortune cookie. These small amenities are the norm in every Chinese restaurant I have ever eaten in. I ordered shrimp with black bean sauce, and it was basically good but bland. The sauce was a bit gooey and it was not at all hot and spicy as I ordered it. The wonton soup was good. Final verdict: I've had better Chinese. And I missed the small amenities as mentioned above. Finally, the men's room looked as if it hadn't been cleaned in weeks, and it's shabby anyway. Not pleasant at all. Facelift time. read more

I have lived in the area for 14 years now and have been to Precious many times. At first the food was delicious with a broad menu of different Asian persuasions. Service was never great. Over the years the food became more bland and service even worse. I'm writing today because my family and I went last night in spite of knowing it wasn't going to great. We just wanted a no wait Saturday dinner and were really just going to have some soup. We walked in and literally walked right out. Greeted by hostess with drooling baby in arms. Place was totally empty. Largest table in center was occupied by the owners family. All kids under 10 laying on tables and coloring books and such everywhere. It was sureal. We walked out faster than you could say WONTON. We're not germaphobes but in light of recent Ebola news I'd rather not eat off a surface that drooling filthy hand little kids are playing on. This was so bad I am seriously thinking about calling them to let them know. read more

I had Precious for the first time in 2007 when they opened and it was the best Chinese food I had ever had in my life. 11 years later and no where even compares to this place. I've gone to college and moved out of state and every time I come home to visit my family I make at least one stop here. The food is so fresh and delicious. There's nothing on the menu that isn't 10/10. Every time I order general tso's the chicken tastes so fresh and it stays crispy (which is hard to do with takeout). Their chicken with broccoli is amazing because the broccoli is so fresh and has a nice snap to it. I wish I could take this place with me where I live now because no matter where I move nothing compares. A hidden gem that has been consistent for over a decade. Very well done! read more

Thank goodness we found this place!!! We have been looking a good Chinese takeout forever. The food was fresh, delivery was quick, and very happy with everything!!! read more

I've since been back and I guess the first meal I had just wasn't something I liked. I'm glad I tried it again, it's very good!

Since moving to the area, I was looking for that great Chinese food restaurant. I found it with this one. I have never physically been to the actual location, but I'm very experienced with the delivery, which has always been on point. Such nice employees and yummy food. read more

Some times I got the wrong food but the food was AMAZING!! So this place is my main chinese place to est and it should be yours too. I'd say its 10 Minutes away from my house read more

My friend lives in Riverdale so when we order Chinese we always order from here. This was the first time I actually called them and ordered pick up strictly for myself. The woman was so nice!! Food is always really good! Will definitely return!!! read more

My family has been ordering here for years! The food is always prepared fast and fresh!

Delicious food we ordered pork fried rice with chicken Lo Mein and chicken and broccoli!!! We will order again

I always order from here and it gets to my house within twenty minutes. We are always so surprised by how quickly they deliver. Also we love the pork steamed dumplings here! My boyfriend is a bit of a dumpling critic but these dumplings make the cut. read more

The food is always great. Delivery is generally quick. We usually stick to basic items/combo dishes/sushi rolls. The biggest plus is the gluten free options. They can cook a wide variety of items GF. Just ask. We have someone with an intolerance, so this is great. And GF tastes great here too. Keep that in mind if you or someone in your family has this issue. read more

Blech. There is a Precious in Hoboken, too. These are basically the same place. To be honest, the fried rice was underwhelming, as was everything that I ordered from there. Considering the prices, I would expect better. Anyplace that has more than one type of food is going to be mediocre at all of them, and Precious is not an exception. read more

While it's not the best Chinese food in the world (Hing Lung in North Bergen is), it is the best around. Food is usually pretty good for take out. I have never eaten in. I like the selection and the food arrives hot. read more

They brought the wrong food for my pregnant wife and then wouldn't bring the right food for over an hour. The most I could get them to do was not charge me for the food they didn't bring. The food is ok but that's pretty bad customer service. Update: We ended up driving there to pick up the right rolls. They were very nice gave us them for free. Still not ideal but I appreciated that. Update2: ordered from there again- food took almost an hour and a half to be delivered. Decent cooking but never ordering from here again. read more

Love this place. When I moved to the area I was very disappointed with the first few Chinese delivery places but luckily we gave this place a shot. They deliver super fast and the food is literally still steaming. This is the only place I order from now. We try different things each time but any of their chicken dishes are great (I love their curry chicken). I also love their hot & sour soup. read more

One star is being generous. We went there for lunch today, and it will definitely be our last time there. When our sodas were brought out- they brought two slightly cool cans of soda, one glass, and no ice in the glass. That was the first clue that this was a big mistake. The place is dark and grungy. Everything seems to be covered by a sticky film. We thought since some other Yelp reviews were so positive , that the food would make up for the surroundings. Nope ! Rubbery Calamari, flavorless General Tso's ( I figured I would stick with a standard item after another reviewer's warning) and the bland Sweet and Sour Chicken all served as reminders to never go back. Don't waste your time or money here. There must be other places in this area for decent Chinese food. read more

Just moved to the area and was so upset to leave my very fav chinese restaurant. Well I was so happy to find Precious! They have such a wide menu and there food is so tasty. The staff seems a little terse, but it doesn't matter to me because the food outshines it all and I order to go, though you could eat in. Give them a try! read more
