Haven't been to this place in 5 years and missed it!! Just went tonight and wow really went down hili!! Lousy service, nasty owner and greasy food ! I won't be back !! read more

For starters, we waited 14 minutes before we were seated, and staff did little to accommodate us. Place was packed, with small booths that were organized strangely. Though the lighting was nice it felt very claustrophobic. They were out of mot drink selections, and simple dishes took a long time to get to the table. Water was rarely filled, instead we were left with a bland tea for most of the night. Our waiter had an earbud in the whole night, and didn't come back to the table after she gave us our food (other than bringing us the check..) All in all it could have been much better, but thats just one girls opinion. read more

I come here with my family a lot. The food here is more authentic than all the places in the area. Food is decently priced too.

Came for a quick lunch and was surprised at how affordable and delicious the lunch special was - $12 with your choice in meal (rice, noodles, protein and vegetable) and soup (egg drop, wonton, hot and sour). An unexpected treat was a chocolate fortune cookie! read more

Wow, when walking up to the place someone would think it's a small BYOB place since just a single door entrance, once through the door it opens up to Hugh dining room.our party of 9 was seated at a large round table with an enormous lazy Suzy, very roomy. Each one of us ordered a different dish so all our delicious meals were shared from the lazy Suzy, very generous, tasty portions & reasonably priced, oh did I mention it's a BYOB read more

Cheng Du 23 - Seafood Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

I love this place SO much! The only reason why I don't give it 5 star is because I haven't had a dime in meal there. This current review is for take out only. I'll update if I ever dine at the location. I stumbled upon this place after an appointment in the area. Fell in love with the food nd even tho it takes me 25+ minutes to get there, I take the drive for the food. 25+ minutes may not sound like a lot of time to some people but as I person who detests driving, going 25 minutes out of the way for takeout means the food is more than just good! It is yummy yummy in my tummy! So much so that I almost always forget to take a pic before chowing down! Take Out Pros: Delicious food Polite check out Nice looking interior Location (you can shop at Home Goods while you wait) Cons: None really. It can be a bit annoying to get there when there's flooding but that no fault of the restaurant. read more

Consistently solid Chinese food. Our favorite dish is the beef with scallions. It is sweet and delicious! Their soup dumplings aren't very soupy and don't seem handmade anymore. I think they were better a few years ago. They're just okay. Great service and huge shared parking lot! read more

Came here for dinner while in the area. Service was good, food came out fairly quick. Dining area was spacious. Menu had a lot of selections to choose from - note that most food have some level of spice to it since it's Szechuan cuisine. Appetizer: Scallion pancake was good to share. Entrees: Heavenly chicken came with a bowl of rice - dish was good but a bit too spicy for me. Shrimp pad thai - this was ok - too much basil overpowered the taste of the dish and the onions were not fully cooked. Not a fan of raw onions taste and there were also too many scallions in the dish. Overall would come back and try other dishes that are more on the non-spicy side and without basil. read more

This review is for delivery only -- I have not dined in person at Cheng Du 23. I am a big fan of Chang Du's Szechuan food -- specifically, their spicy braised fish filets. It's a huge portion and very tasty and not at all fishy. I found the three pepper chicken to be good as well. However, the American Chinese food is pretty subpar. The General Tso's chicken I ordered was extremely overcooked and dry and the sauce was more akin to a sweet and sour. It was not spicy. I also did not like the Kung Pao chicken. The pieces were inconsistent and large and it was not spicy. Altogether, Cheng Du delivery is 3 stars for the inconsistency. When it's good, it's good. However, it is pretty hit or miss. read more

Food is always delicious and authentic! Good service. Take out is great as well. Our favorite Chinese restaurant outside of NYC Chinatown!

My sister and I decided to get Lunch Specials today. I literally went there for their rice which I had before and it was amazing. So we ordered our food and said instead of fried rice we would like pork fried rice. The guy in the front taking the order said no we couldn't do that. We didnt mind if we had to pay a few bucks difference for it. He said I would need to buy a whole order of pork fried rice. REALLY??? We decided just to do the fried rice. Ummmm fried rice where?? Looks like white rice with a sprinkle of soy sauce for a little color. Absolutely no taste at all!!!! My sister also asked if she can substitute the wonton soup for an egg roll, will pay the difference the guy said no. At this point everything we asked was no. There was no type of accommodation or anything...just straight NO. I get home no sauce at all. No duck sauce, no soy sauce, nothing!!!! Horrible service! Fried rice no taste at all! I should have stuck to my usual Chinese places with way better customer service and better tasting rice. read more

Cheng Du 23 - Lunch Special Pepper Steak (not bad) With Plain Fried Rice no taste at all!!!!!! - Seafood Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

We ordered pig feet and spicy fish. They are very good in terms of taste and portion. The spicy level is not super hot but just right and enjoyable. Will come again and try other dishes read more

The service was HORRIBLE. DON'T GO!! They charge you a $2 service fee, for some and not others. We were a group of students with special needs taking our students out for a nice meal in the community so we had a large party with 2 tables and one of our checks had no service fee and several others did, unsure why some would be charged a service fee and others wouldn't. Also I asked for a small side order of broccoli in garlic sauce and paid $17, does thet sound a bit much or what? The food was very average and the service was lacking. Don't recommend. read more

I've eaten at Cheng Du 23 for at least 25 years but tonight I picked up an order that was beyond awful. Three dishes, all ones that I've eaten previously, and each was worse than the previous. I'm guessing they have changed owners and/or chefs. This was my favorite Chinese restaurant and I will never go there again. It was that bad. read more

I came here for lunch on a Saturday with my family. We ordered the Fuji Mountain beef, the crispy fish filets with chili, and the Chinese vegetables. The best dish was the crispy fish filets with chili, just the right amount of spice and the filets were not greasy at all. The Fuji beef was interesting, I guess the egg white represents the snow on top of Mt Fuji? Service was friendly and fast. Also, there's plenty of parking and the prices were decent. Definitely one of the better Sichuan restaurants in NJ. read more

Dinner at Cheng Du is a family tradition anytime we are town. Great for large groups we have dined with anywhere from 5 to 11 people. With excellent service and delicious food we enjoy everything we order and often stay till closing. Some of the must haves include Peking duck (your server will cut and the meat and wrap it for you to eat in a sort of burrito), ginger green beans (trust it is refreshing!), chicken lettuce wraps, scallion pancakes, lamb with onions, and ALL of the soup dumplings. If that is not enough the fortune cookies are chicolate read more

I have been in search of a good Chinese place in the area. My family and I decided to try Cheng Du 23 on a whim one Saturday night. First of all, this place was bumpin - I'm so happy we went relatively early in the evening around 5pm or else we certainly would have had to wait for a table. And bonus points for BYOB! It's rare to find a nice sit down Chinese restaurant nowadays so Cheng Du 23 filled my family and I with nostalgia. From the hot tea to the wide variety of dishes on the menu, this is everything we were looking for. The food itself was great. We tried several different dishes, my favorite being the Singapore noodles. The portions were generous and the food came out hot. I'm excited to come back and equally as excited to have a place to order take out from now. read more

This has become one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in the area!!! The food is always well prepared and the staff is very accommodating!

Most of foods were delicious BUT I recommend Do Not order any of MP(market price) from here. Guess what how much I paid for this fried fish...., I paid $36. Waiter said Market price is $32 and receipt price was $36. Since they didn't charge me for soup dumpling price I didn't argue for price at that time. But it wasn't worth to pay over $30 for this fish. shredded potatoes were also overpriced, hope they lower the price. read more

We came here for a family dinner and while service was excellent, the food was not good. Maybe the chefs working on our dishes were having and off night, but everything was so salty that it was bitter. I'm not sure who was doing the seasoning but most of the food was inedible. Will not be coming back and do not recommend coming here. read more

We love sichuan food and heard this place serves super authentic Sichuan food. Vibe & service: 4/5 Service is what you would normally expect from any Chinese place. Nothing too impressive about the decor but very clean. Food comes out super quick. Food: 4.5/5 Food was def genuinely sichuan. I think it is one of the best sichuan places I've been to in a long time. Ordered spicy wonton with sichuan soy sauce and sauteed string beans. String bean dish was a bit oily and a but too mushy but flavorwise, not too salty and good. The spicy wonton was really really good with tender pork meat inside and the soy sauce viengrette was a bit sweet which added a really nice flavor! My favorite! Mapo tofu and tripple pepper chicken: 4/5 Tripple pepper chicken was very spicy and mala flavor was pretty strong which I appreciated so much! Mapo tofu was not as spicy but silky tofu worked super well with the sauce. Very solid! It is quite far from where we live..would we do the drive again to be here? MOST DEF YES!! read more

It's been eight years since my last review, and this place is still AMAZING. It's so good, it's grandparent approved. You truly can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but I recommend trying something from the authentic szechuan cuisine/chef special section. Some of my must orders: - Soups: Hot and Sour, Fish Filet and Pickled Mustard Greens - Mains: Whole Fish with Chengdu Hot Bean Paste, Beef and Little Hot Peppers, - Veggies: Snow Pea Leaves, String Beans The service is great. It's usually packed, so make a reservation! read more

We stopped by cheng du for lunar new year dinner because this place was rated one of the best in New Jersey. The menu had a lot of sichuan dishes and non-spicy options to choose from. Service was ok. It felt like we were rushed to decide on what to order. It was around 3:30pm so the restaurant wasn't busy during this time. We ordered steamed shrimp dumplings and scallion pancake to start. For entrees, we ordered beef chow fun, sautéed bok choy and the Dragon-Phoenix match. It contained ginger scallion lobster, crispy chicken chunks in a sweet spicy sauce and shrimp in vegetables. I wasn't a big fan of the chicken chunks in that dish but everything else was flavorful. read more

It was so nice to get off a plane and a couple of hours later sit down to some great Chinese food. The kind of food I knew I could find in NYC (not FL), but I was not surprised to find in neighboring NJ. We arrived right before 8:30pm. We are told they were closing h soon but we could sit down. We got the hint. No dilly dallying. We didn't care. We weren't there to schmooze, just for serious eating! We ordered: Soup Dumplings Sichuan Dumplings with Roasted Chili Vinaigrette Pancake with Beef and Cucumber Heavenly Chicken Loved everything!!! I think my favorite was the Sichuan Dumplings, served warm with that delectable chili sauce. So many items I would try here! Our food arrived in about 2 minutes after ordering. Funny, I can't even stomach Chinese food in FL anymore but in the Northeast, it's a different ballgame. read more

So my brother suggested for us to dine here when he learned that we will be in NJ & NYC for a week. He said 1 of his clients really loves the food here. Alright, I said, we will come for lunch since we have business in Wanaque and has to head that way anyway. The girlfriend & I can handle spicy food but our wimpy friend can't so bummer for us, we could not order their specialty dishes - the very reason for our visit. Irony sucks! So, we got the following instead: Beef in 5 spices, Beef chow fun, Cold sesame noodles, Dau mui and Pork & Chinese Celery. Very safe. Almost totally Cantonese style, nothing Sichuan about them, except perhaps the Sesame Cold noodles. The dishes came out quick. It is as though they are used to serving customers on short lunch time, you know, the poor souls who have less than an hour and must eat and run. Nonetheless, we liked the food, especially our wimpy friend, Jeff. He thought they were flavorful, rich and delicious. And of course Jeff paid the bill because he values our sacrifice on his behalf. That's the official version. He will say that I guilt tripped him... read more

Got delivery from here tonight. This was such a disappointment. They left out our crab ragoons and when we called they refused to send over the correct item, didn't take responsibility and told us to just contact GrubHub for a refund. We didn't want a refund - just wanted our crab ragoons. The rest of the food was barely edible. The orange beef was soggy and minced chicken sub par. Was really surprised bc they have high ratings. read more

Great food! Not loaded with sugar like most Chinese restaurants. Nice traditional menu!

Excellent Szechuan food in the middle of Jersey! So glad that we discovered this restaurant. There are round tables and booths, and can easily accommodate groups of various sizes. They are bustling with people so there might be a wait, but service is fast. We've had their dan dan noodles, wontons in chili oil, triple pepper chicken and flounder filet in hot sauce -- believe me when I say it hits the spot!! Your belly will be satisfied. read more
