General Tso's Chicken Lunch Special
Ryan F.

Picked up take-out from Cheng's Garden on a Wednesday afternoon. Ordered the General Tso's Chicken Lunch Special, the Sweet & Sour Chicken Lunch Special, and an order of Crab Rangoon. Quality Cheng's Garden was the Chinese take-out that I grew up on as a child, but a recent visit reminded me of why I always enjoyed it so much. Splitting with family, we ordered two lunch specials and a side of Crab Rangoon. The General Tso's Chicken Lunch Special was fantastic. Large chunks of moist chicken soaked in a flavorful sauce. A little bit of heat provided by the included red chilis, but balanced well with the sweeter flavors. The lunch special also comes with pork fried rice and an egg roll. For the pork fried rice they used a yellow rice, which was soft and full of onions and chunks of pork. The egg roll had a nice crispiness, but was light on filling. The Sweet & Sour Chicken was not quite as good, but still a solid dish. The chicken was a bit more watery, but the sauce helped make up for the texture. The Crab Rangoon was a mixed bag, as the filling is among the best I have ever had. However, the wonton was too soggy, if it was a little more crispy it would have been perfection. Quantity The lunch special is a massive dish and easily enough food for two meals. The Crab Rangoon comes with eight large pieces. It is solid food and it is a large amount. Value The lunch specials are a fantastic value at under $6. Considering the quality and quantity, the deal cannot be beat. Even for Chinese take-out it is cheap. Ambiance Cheng's Garden is located in a strip mall in the town of Dayton in central New Jersey. The shop is extremely simple and set up only for take-out. When you walk in they actually have a pretty large waiting area, but it is just open space. A few chairs are lined up along the wall, in case you need to wait a few minutes for the food to be ready. They have no tables, so don't expect to enjoy your food on site. The rest of the space is the open kitchen, with a wall separating the space. No televisions are set up and a radio station plays in the background. Crowd There were no other patrons in the store, but they had four or five other orders sitting on the counter waiting for customers to pick them up. This place has been in business a long time and they definitely have a good amount of regulars. Service On the phone they told me ten minutes and when I arrived they had just finished putting the food in the containers. Fast and friendly is all you can ask for, and they provide. Parking Located in a medium sized strip mall, plenty of parking is available for customers. Extra Cheng's Garden is a solid Chinese take-out joint with hard to beat prices. While not perfect, they are about as good as you get when it comes to styrofoam packaged meals. I do think they could use one or two tables inside for people looking to enjoy food on site. It is a place I will continue to frequent when visiting my hometown.

The highlight of the meal was easily the hot appetizer -- the wontons in chili oil. The delicate…read morewontons were packed with flavorful filling and coated in a rich, aromatic chili oil that delivered the perfect balance of heat, spice, and savory depth. The sauce had just enough numbing warmth without overpowering the dish, and every bite was incredibly satisfying. The texture combination of silky wrappers and bold sauce made it an unforgettable starter. Beyond the appetizer, the restaurant offered a warm atmosphere and attentive service that made the dining experience even better. The presentation was thoughtful, portions were generous, and the flavors tasted authentic and carefully prepared. If you enjoy dishes with a little spice and a lot of flavor, the wontons in chili oil are absolutely worth ordering. I would definitely come back just for them.

The standout for me was the Jiang Bei Hot Sauce Live Whole Fish, which was packed with flavor and absolutely worth ordering. You can split this dish amongst a whole family since the portions are huge! The General Tso's Chicken is always a classic, and I love the tender chicken drenched in tangy sauce. This is where things got a little tricky. We had a reservation but ended up waiting about 40 minutes past our reservation time to actually be seated. On a busy weekend, I understand restaurants can get slammed, but waiting 40 minutes after having a reservation is frustrating. It seems like their weekend reservation situation can get a little chaotic, so just be prepared to practice your patience. Once we were seated, the staff was fine and the service was efficient. Overall, I'll return for the food or get takeout but just be prepared to wait a bit.

Planning a large event can be stressful, but they made the entire process smooth. They were flexible with our budget, offered helpful suggestions. We enjoyed the food and service were excellent. Even with hundreds of guests, everything was well organized, the staff was attentive, and the event ran smoothly. Our guests had a wonderful time. If you're looking for a restaurant that can successfully host large banquets or special events, we highly recommend this place. Their experience, attention to detail, and commitment to customer service made both of our events memorable and stress-free.   很好的中餐馆,经理非常负责,及时回复,安排妥当,非常配合。我们的第二个聚会有400人,还有主题装饰,餐馆提供了很多方便。非常感谢!

I liked the crab rangoon, it was big, money bag style, but wife didn't like the filling. I did a large spare ribs and 3/10 were so burned they were inedible. I hated the general tsao's.

Probably one of the best AYCE sushi restaurants in New Jersey that I've been to. Only knock is…read morethat the price is a bit steep, but given the variety and the speed of service here, it is at least justified. We visited as a group of ~8 on a weekday evening for dinner. Service was quick. Although we had plans afterwards so we were not in full optimization mode for this AYCE excursion, we ate a decent amount and did not ever feel like we were being slowed down or not helped, despite other diners in the restaurant. They have sashimi, nigiri, rolls, and a lot of other Asian sides and fares. A good variety to just having fish! I especially recommend the galbi and the yuzu if you have the room in your stomach. Otherwise, a great place AYCE that is on the pricier end, but is well worth the extra bucks here.

I've been committed to trying as many restaurants near my job as I can this summer, so as part of…read morethat I came here over my lunch break for a takeout order. The inside did have a nice darker Asian themed decor to it. I got a bento box with salmon. There is a good amount of food here for the price, but most of it was overdone. Salmon was dry and overcooked, but was saved by the sauce. Sushi was decent, but nothing to write home about. Miso soup and salad are as middle of the road as it gets. Not bad for sure, but in an area flush with Asian cuisine options, it may not be my first pick.
