I've dined here many times, and the authentic Chinese cuisine is the best in the Edgewater area. This evening, I enjoyed my seasonal favorite--soft-shell crab prepared salt-and-pepper style--and it was outstanding! I'll definitely be back before the season ends. The seafood pan-fried noodles never disappoint, and I also ordered another longtime favorite, the clay pot eggplant. Both dishes were excellent, as always. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Chinese food and consistently great flavors. The owner, Tony, always greets guests warmly and makes everyone feel welcome. Our waiter, Peter, was attentive and provided excellent service throughout the meal. It's an all-around enjoyable dining experience, made even better by the beautiful Hudson River waterfront view. A true neighborhood gem that keeps us coming back. read more

I'll start by saying that I still think River House is the best Chinese restaurant locally ,but today I tried their shrimp and broccoli and it was somewhat disappointing. The shrimp potion , as expected is always less than chicken entrees. But this wasn't the main issue. The shrimp had a stronger than usual seafood taste like it wasn't thoroughly washed and the texture was tougher than in used to like it was possibly overcooked. The sauce was god and the broccoli tasty but the shrimp was a little offputting. I'm not sure I would order the shrimp and broccoli again. read more

Service is attentive and fast. I like that, and they don't push when you are done. Of course amazing river views, normal for the strip of eatery's here. Personally i find the dishes to be classic American style Chinese food, which i love. But i see a lot of Asians here so i assume their dishes are far more expansive than the choices I make. So do come here regardless of your preference, they successfully cater to both palates. read more

The smallest egg roll at the highest price. Actually, everything is overpriced. Not as good as I remember in the past.

Solid Chinese food along the Hudson River waterfront just South of the GW. Their Kung Pao chicken is among the best I've had. Generous amount of chicken, savory sauce and loaded with peanuts! Service is very attentive and the atmosphere is upscale compared to most, with spectacular views of Manhattan and the GW. BYOB which is a bonus to some. We'll definitely return for more. read more

My favorite Chinese food restaurant in the area! It's not like a super authentic spot compared to other Chinese places but when it comes to elevated American Chinese takeout- look nowhere else! The food is tasty, portions are wonderful, and staff are so sweet. I honestly didn't even want to post this because I want this place to only be mine but I know that's not realistic lol love, love, love! read more

Was near Edgewater and was craving Chinese food stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant. I tried the shrimp steamed dumplings, chicken fried rice, and shrimp with broccoli in garlic sauce. The food was very good and flavorful. The server was attentive and the place was cozy excellent for small groups. The place is byob and everything is portioned to share so you'll have leftovers. The only down part was that they didn't have peeking duck and roasted duck and someone in my group suggested the restaurant for the only dish they didn't have. read more

Great go-to spot for Chinese takeout. The General Tso's chicken was flavorful with just the right balance of sweet and spicy, and the veggie fried rice was fresh and well portioned. Good quality food at a fair price. Looking forward to trying more dishes soon. read more

This place is a hidden gem. If you're looking for authentic Chinese flavors, it's definitely worth a visit. We ordered three entrées--one fish and two chicken dishes--along with sides of lo mein and fried rice. Each entrée came with a bowl of white rice, which was a nice touch. The standout dish for me was the Fish Fillet with Ginger, Scallions, and Hot Peppers. The flavors were well-balanced, and the fish was so good I saved it for last. Among the chicken dishes, we tried the Szechuan Style Fried Diced Chicken and the Chicken with Garlic Sauce. The fried chicken was solid, but the garlic sauce dish was a pleasant surprise--something new for us and definitely worth trying. I recommend pairing it with the spicy sauce they provide; it's flavorful without being too hot. The lo mein tasted fresh, like it had just come out of the wok, and complemented the mains nicely. We also ordered soup dumplings as an appetizer. They were served hot, but didn't quite meet our expectations--we've had better elsewhere. Overall, the food was satisfying, and the prices were very reasonable. Great flavors without breaking the bank. read more

Decent Chinese place, I visited a friend who lives in Weehawken, and he recommended this place to try. We had a couple of dishes and shared. There was so much food that we took some home. I would go back again if that friend wants to go there again. There was an oversized parking lot, so parking was no problem, and we got seated right away. I did not notice any special decoration, but overall, it was a spotless place. People should try here if one is looking for a decent Chinese food place in the Weehawken area. read more

While visiting a friend before she dropped me back off at my hotel for the evening, we came to River House Chinese for dinner. Located in an inconspicuous strip mall right off the Hudson River, there was ample parking. We were seated right away because we came pretty close to closing time, but they did not seem bothered by this. I was ecstatic to see that they served Singapore noodles, one of my absolute favorite Chinese dishes. My friend ordered orange chicken and was thrilled. The service was fast and friendly. Our food came out quickly and was piping hot. The Singapore noodles were absolutely delicious and had tons of succulent shrimp and fresh vegetables. My friend remarked that the orange chicken was some of the best she had had in the area. So if you were looking for some tasty Chinese food near Edgewater, come check this place out. read more

Stopped in for a quick casual weekend lunch. The restaurant was relatively empty so we snagged a seat by the window with a lovely view of the water. Service was friendly, helpful, and fast. We tried a few of their chicken dishes and egg drop soup. It was all flavorful not too salty and a perfect balance of spice - everything you would want out of Chinese food! I would definitely come back or even grab take out- portions were very generous!! read more

My first experience with River House was through a take out order. This was very easy to do through all of the delivery apps. I went with the classic chicken and broccoli meal. It was great! I would have liked more broccoli with my meal. My friends ordered the beef and broccoli meal and sesame chicken meal. They also agreed with having more broccoli with their meals. We all enjoyed our dumplings. Next time, I'd like to go in person to try the soup dumplings. I hear they are terrific. read more

Went in for lunch. I love beef pepper steak ordered w brown rice. They sent white rice. Np. The white rice could have been a tad bigger portion. But nonetheless the entree was delicious. Service was friendly. $22 for pepper steak. Not bad. Hot mustard sauce was dynamite good. They do have outside seating w a view. Parking in the center can be a challenge. At times. Over all. Very solid food. I will definitely eat here again. read more

The ambiance of this place is a vibe, and their service is great. They were very nice, pleasant, and the woman that took my order made sure she had my order right before hanging up. Granted I've only been here once but the quality of the food for the price they charge is heinous. I got 2 orders of the dumplings and a small SFR. I told them to cook the shrimp well done (cause my husband has a thing ) but the shrimp wasn't well done. Hubby and I went to go park by the Hudson that's near by to eat, we didn't even finish the food. Got home and later on warmed up the rice (figured I could spruce it up myself) maybe add some bouyon cause it was bland but as I was scooping it out there was some brown liquid at the bottom of the container. Now I will say they were not stingy on the shrimp and in my neighborhood the container it was in would be a large. So the portions aren't bad. So all in all everything about this place is great but the quality of the food is poor. We spent $40 which we don't mind but I feel cheated when I splurge on what I think is quality and ends up being a huge disappointment. They need a new cook or something. read more

You never know what you're going to find in the Trader Joe's parking lot. I'm rolling out on a road trip tonight, and I didn't want to fire up the stove because it's a hundred degrees outside. Anyhow, I got a case of water at Joe's Place, and the I pranced into the River House. Once inside, I was taken back on how classy it was... mainly because its neighbor is Jersey Mike. Anyhow, I sat down and ordered some basic stuff. It was all excellent. I wasn't expecting a fine meal, but I got one anyway. I will be coming back here often when I get back from LA. read more

Decent food, ambiance, and service. The BYOB option is a nice bonus. A solid choice for dine-in Chinese food!

We were expecting food to be a bit higher in quality. Seemed like another quick takeout place and we were expecting sit down restaurant quality. Nothing particularly bad but nothing great either. read more

Wow! I'm speechless with this place. My uncle told me not to go, but I always say I have to try it out myself. 1) Expensive for the portion I got. 2) All one sauce. Brown sauce on everything. 3) Oily 4) I've never had brown sauce on my seafood pan fried noodles. Maybe it's just me, but that again goes back to the one sauce comment. Obviously atmosphere is great, right across from the city. Service was good, they were pretty attentive. read more

3rd time at River house. Took my partner here today to eat for his birthday. He loves this restaurant. We were able to walk in on a Sunday afternoon. We ordered our usual items. It was our first time ordering dessert and it was good. We got the chocolate lava with gelato. They even sang happy birthday. It was sweet. The service was good. All in all a good family spot for lunch / dinner. read more

Very good cuisine. Highly recommend. Haven't found a better Chinese Restaurant in the area. Would definitely recommend.

If you are looking for south Chinese cruise and this is the good place, especially if you like seafood. We started with tofu seafood soup, then had Chinese style crab, lobster and some greens. The food is pretty authentic overall, a little more on the oily side than our liking. Their tofu dishes are really good. read more

Came here for lunch when in the area. This place is in a little strip mall with a large parking lot so it was easy to park. They are right by the water, so it was a nice view. It must be even nicer during the warmer months. They have a lot of traditional chinese food. For our meal, we got the soup dumplings, the lo mein lunch special and duck noodle soup. The soup dumplings were my favorite- such good broth! The duck noodle soup was close behind, just a little more work to eat but that is always the case with this dish. The serving size was great in my opinion. The lo mein was just alright, we ended up not touching it too much and taking it out to eat as leftovers later that day. The service was really great though. Always attentive and no hesitation to provide you with what you need / want. Would definitely stop by again in the future when in the area. read more

It's not bad for the area but definitely not worth $31 for a to go order of 6 ok soup dumplings, "large" fried rice that's pretty small and one small egg drop soup. NYC is literally cheaper. One and done for me read more

Review for lunch delivery. We had a craving for Chinese American and decided to check out the lunch special. We got orange beef and beef and broccoli. The portion is perfect for lunch with no leftovers. The orange beef was ok and the beef and broccoli were good. Kudos to how many options are available for the lunch special. We ordered on Uber Eats, where the lunch menu options do not match the website on River House's website. When we called to check up on the order because it was taking a while, they said we couldn't have an egg roll and soup. Well, they should update their Uber Eats options. FWIW, since we had two orders, we were able to try the egg roll which was solid and huge, and the wonton soup was not bad. - Website: "All lunches include Soup (Wonton, Egg Drop, Hot and Sour) or Egg Roll, and Fried Rice, White Rice or Brown Rice." - Uber Eats: Choose a side (Egg Roll or a rice), Choose a soup We've never felt inclined to dine in or explore the menu for the more authentic Chinese options. Some would like opt to come for the ambience and view. If you're going on taste alone and looking for American Chinese, I tend to prefer Robongi in Port Imperial, sometimes PF Chang's in Port Imperial (it is a bit too salty to me). Baumgart's in Edgewater is also an excellent option for American Chinese (although my experience is solely on dinner). read more

Always really good Chinese, especially if you choose to dine in Edgewater. That said, I'm no fan of the $3 "delivery fee" I need to pay, plus the food service delivery fee AND tip. read more

The food was a hit and miss, on a salty level. The service was okay. The ambiance was great with a New York view. A little bit pricey.

The food here is solid! it's our go to Chinese spot when we're in the mood. Delivery is extremely fast. Portion sizes are good. But as an FYI, the prices here are double what you would pay in a normal takeout restaurant. That said, the quality of the ingredients that you are eating, are higher than the average restaurant. That comes at a price, and I am willing to pay for that. We've had the sesame chicken, General Taos chicken, eggrolls, wonton soup, chicken and broccoli, barbecue spareribs, barbecue tips and pork lo mein. i'll have been great. I absolutely love their wonton soup. Oh and I've also had their fried pork dumplings and soup dumplings, both delicious! read more

Last nights house special soup was truly awful. It was mush. I got the bottom of the pot.

they employ a very aggressive angry unhinged delivery man who bangEd our door as if he was the police and shouted at me in front of my baby as to why I didnt answer the phone or open the door fast enough. shocking that they would employ someone clearly mentally unwell with a bad temper to be customer facing. they should keep him far away from customers. it was actually terrifying to have something like that happen at your home as a woman. be careful if you order delivery from them and make sure you are not home alone. read more

I want to review this Twice. So I'll have to settle for basically giving some good points for this restaurant. One is for Actually sitting down at the restaurant Vs Ordering Take out. You get more food if you sit in the restaurant Vs ordering take out. And it tastes better. The take out I Received today was like super small, 3 small pieces of steak for my order of Orange Beef, a way over done egg roll and 1 skinny piece of Pork Belly in a Boa bun... my rating today was 1 star. But I been here numerous times with friends and have a blast with the BYOB, and it's weird cause we know the owner and he loves having us at the restaurant. Sometimes it's better to go here, I love the take out option but it's not the same so unfortunately it's now a 3 star place for me. read more

The chicken with mixed vegetables were better than most Chinese restaurants (tastier and slightly better quality chicken)! It was a bit pricey (think around 19 dollars) but it was plenty since it lasted me for two days. The restaurant itself had extremely slippery floors and my friend and I slipped a few times (think ice skating rink level slippery). The tables felt greasy as if they weren't washed. The egg noodles were a complementary starter - they were good but nothing out of the ordinary. read more

Great food and the view of Manhattan was fabulous. I had the steak and shrimp combo and it was delicious. My wife had the mango chicken. I should add that the eon ton and hot and sour soups were excellent. My egg roll was crispy and very good. We went with friends who know the owner who sat down and chatted with us. Tony is a true gentleman . The servers were very nice and helpful. I am ready to return even though it is 40 minute drive. read more

What a GREAT FIND!!! Tony the owner is an amazing host! Went there specifically for Peking Duck. It's fabulous to finally find a North Jersey Chinese restaurant that is as good if not BETTER than the NYC duck houses. I'd highly recommend giving River House a try. You won't regret it! Excellent service too! read more

If you're looking for a good Chinese spot and don't feel like ordering take out, this is the spot. I've been here a couple times so far and it was great each time. They always give free wonton noodles with duck sauce and hot mustard, our favorite. For apps we always start off with the Egg Rolls, Vegetable Dumplings, Hot & Sour Soup, Boneless BBQ Ribs (well done) and Steamed Pork Soup Dumplings. Each time we go we try a different appetizer and everything we get always has been very good. For the main meal we always share everything. Our favorites are Beef Lo Mein, General Tso's Chicken and Sweet & Sour Chicken. The meat dishes come with a side of white rice. We haven't tried new main dishes but next time we go we will. The staff is friendly and there's never a wait to be seated. If you're looking to eat a casual dinner this is the place. We will be back. read more
