The place itself isn't anything great to look at, it could definitely use some updating, but they have a really nice menu to choose from with an array of dishes. While inside I saw a blackboard with specials. I chose the "lobster" lo mein combination. To my surprise the food was delicious. Magic Wok doesn't skimp on their portions. My lo mein had tons of flavor, and lots of vegetables with just the right amount of seasoning. My friend ordered the pork lo mein and that was equally delicious. My combination also came with an egg roll. I'm usually not a big fan of egg rolls because they tend to have a lack luster taste and very little filling, but to my surprise Magic Wok's was pretty good. It was nice and crispy on the outside and it had a good ratio of filling.I also dipped my egg roll in duck sauce which I combined with their house mustard. Not the mustard in the packets but the one the owner John keeps separate. You have to ask for it. It has a little spice, but adds great flavor. Since the pandemic,You do have to wear a mask when picking up your food. I would order from here again.

Canton Palace Chinese Restaurant

Canton Palace offers authentic dim sum like the kind you'd find in Flushing, but right here in…read moredowntown Somerville, NJ! I went on a weekday for lunch. Both the dim sum menu and a lunch menu with standard Chinese restaurant fare were available. My party got the general tso's chicken from the lunch menu, and it was exceptional. Good-quality white meat with just enough spice. Heads up, though, the lunch dishes don't come with rice, so order that separately. From the dim sum menu, we ordered braised tripe with ginger & scallion, fried shrimp rolls, shrimp dumplings, steamed chicken buns, and crab meat soup dumplings. The braised tripe was a standout. It was cooked in a light yet flavorful sauce of ginger and scallion with the tripe's own broth. The delicateness of the sauce worked perfectly with the tripe. The dumplings were all great, especially the soup dumplings. The steamed chicken bun was the only thing I'd skip. It was on the heavier side, and the filling was just okay. The bill came out to about what I expected for the amount of food we ordered--$65 before tip. The service was friendly, and taking our order and getting the food was quick. After the food arrived, though, it was a little difficult to flag down a server to order more and later to get the check. Still, it was understandable given how busy they were, constantly collecting orders and putting out food. Overall, Canton Palace is a great find for anyone looking for this style of Chinese food outside of the usual New York neighborhoods.

As someone who cooks I was extremely disappointed. I should have sent back but they didn't seem to have any interest in our experience & there was a language barrier. Gets a star because hot and sour soup was fine and was heated appropriately and the sesame chicken with broccoli was good. Also can't give zero stars here...... wish I could. They charge $4 for rice and then grudgingly package it with leftovers. Entire restaurant had open tables but they stuck us against the servers alley that leads to kitchen. We had the staff behind us at a large table chattering away loudly while we tried to eat and talk. It was a mess. My husband paid the server in cash. They attempted to keep our change. I had to repeat myself multiple times asking for our change to come back. It almost seemed deliberate. So unprofessional. And yet my kind husband tipped the waitstaff generously; he's far kinder than I would have been. Not a class act restaurant. Will NEVER go back. REGRET that we chose this restaurant on our day out. =(

I also enjoyed their Pork Steamed Dumplings. They were a perfect accompaniment to my dish. Another dish I tried was their General Tso's Chicken. It was juicy on the inside and the outside had a nice crispy saucy texture. The flavors were very good. The staff is always very nice and friendly. I would definitely recommend the food here.

All of this cost $10 and was delicious. The lady working the counter was very friendly and sweet, the inside of the restaurant had three tables and a recent supply delivery, it's not really a dine in place, more a Take out establishment. I started with the egg roll, nice and crispy, not greasy and the filling was delicious. The won ton soup was great but tiny, it came in a 1/4 lb deli container. Then the pepper steak was very flavorful but the stand out was the rice. Being originally from union county this was Union county style fried rice, the color was spot on, brown not yellow/orange like some place around here. It tasted great! I'm excited to try some other things off their menu.

The curry had real depth, the noodles were cooked just right, and the spice level was spot on. Each dish tasted like it was made with care rather than rushed out of the kitchen, and the portions were generous. Service was good overall. There was a slight language barrier with our waitress at the start, and maybe she was relatively new, but we got on the same page quickly and everything went smoothly from there. Everyone was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is warm and family-oriented rather than trendy or modern, which suits the place well. It's a comfortable spot for a relaxed dinner with family or friends. Would happily come back and recommend it to anyone craving good Thai food.

My dining companion and I stopped in for a weekday dinner on our commute back from Princeton. Even without a reservation on a Thursday night, the hostess was able to seat us immediately. The menu is extensive, featuring all the standard curries (Green, Yellow, Red, Massaman, and Panang) and various special entrées that can be customized with your choice of protein--including duck and mixed seafood--and your preferred spice level. I had the Pad Phet Paa with vegetables and tofu ($17), sautéed with bamboo shoots, long beans, onions, bell peppers, lime leaves, and basil leaves, served with rice. It's described on the menu as being sautéed with a dry curry paste and no coconut milk, but seemed a bit more like a traditional curry (that is, more liquid) than I anticipated. My dining companion ordered the Pad Kra Pao with vegetables ($17), sautéed with onions, mushrooms, bell peppers, peppers and Thai basil leaves, served with rice. Our food was served very quickly and we both thought our dishes were decent and satisfied our craving for Thai, but the flavors didn't quite stand out as anything special. The biggest drawback is the parking lot. Because it is shared with a supermarket, an apartment building, and several other high-traffic takeout spots, finding a parking space during peak hours can be a real struggle. Be prepared to circle the lot for a few minutes before you find a spot. Overall, it's a decent and reliable option for freshly-prepared Thai food if you're already in the neighborhood, but probably not somewhere I'd go out of my way for again.

China Moon has always been a very good go-to option for good takeout. It's small/medium in size. There used to be a couple tables for dine-in but I don't see them anymore. Perhaps that's a COVID change. The counter employee's have always been friendly and quick to take my order. Food is also prepared pretty quickly which makes it a good option if you decide to walk in and order as opposed to call in advance then picking it up. I personally wouldn't consider it traditional in flavor. There are traditional Chinese options but like most neighborhood Chinese takeout, the food has taken on an American flare. That doesn't mean it's bad. I've been to traditional Chinese places and the same dishes taste decidedly different. China Moon offers very good neighborhood takeout. A few dishes I consistently order & like there are: Chicken Chow Mein Chow Mei Fun Beef & Broccoli Beef & Garlic Sauce Rib Tips (so yummy) General's chicken Chicken wings (really good if made fresh!)
