Chopsticks Charm is legitimately one of the best, if not the best to find genuinely delicious Asian food around here. Here meaning all of Jersey. Only place better and by slight margins is Tasty Moment. While people come to be delighted by the decor, it's really the food that impresses. Scallion pancakes - one of the best in Tri-state area Pan fried pork buns - juiciest lip smacking little things. Beef tripe is perfectly seasoned, not too spicy and high quality cuts. Soup dumplings are good but not the greatest in comparison to other spots but... still good. Beef with chili was good but fried to oblivion. Wish it was a dry stir fry. Desserts of brown sugar rice cakes were great. Best place in town. read more

What really stands out with this restaurant are the beautifully hand painted walls, chairs, floors, and even bathroom. Feels like a chic NYC-eatery. (But located in a suburban strip mall). The complimentary chili oil salad was a nice touch. I enjoyed the noodles but the rice dishes felt lacking. I barely tasted the crab in the crab pork soup dumplings and some of the fats were still coagulated inside my dumpling, so that was a slight disappointment. Must get: the "yashi perfume lemon tea" was so refreshing yet aromatic that I had to get another one to-go. The deserts were the perfect size. All in all, we were impressed with the expansive food and drink menu for such a small spot. They could've used another waiter for a weekend night because despite having tablets to order the food, our waitress was definitely overwhelmed. read more

Chopsticks charm certainly had quite the charm upon entering. Beautiful 2-D cartoon on the walls and furniture added to the whimsical atmosphere. They had 2 attentive staff that were patient and friendly. The Chinese food was pretty good with my favorite the marinated pork belly with quail eggs. Xiaolongboas (soup dumplings), fried boas, and beef noodle soup were ok. A bit disappointed with the Dan Dan noodles that were supposed to have Szechuan hot pepper but barely spicy and noodles were too soft. Also, 3-cup chicken could have more robust in flavor. We will be back as I don't think I've tasted all their signature dishes. So definitely willing to give this cute spot another try! read more

Love love love the decor. The staff is extremely friendly and very enthusiastic. We ordered chicken pan fried dumplings, spicy edamame, veggie spring rolls, chicken fries rice, and the scallion pancakes. Everything was good. My only critique is that the chicken fried rice lacked flavor and salt. Otherwise, I would come again and try different things. read more

Chopsticks Charm is elite. Both dine-in and takeout are great choices. The appetizers were amazing, and the pork balls were absolutely to die for, great stuff. All the food is fresh and exquisite. The interior decor is very creative and fresh, with a black and white cartoon theme. The service was great and very friendly, and the takeout bags were so nice and kept everything warm. Would definitely come back and definitely recommend if you're in the mood for this cuisine. read more

Came here with family and was pleasantly surprised. The dry beef noodles were excellent -- easily the best dish we ordered. The eggplant was also a favorite at the table. Other dishes like soup dumplings, pan-fried buns, and beef noodle soup were all solid. Good portions across the board. Very good value -- our group of 6 didn't even hit $100. Casual, clean environment and a menu with a lot of variety. Would come back. read more

The ambience is really nice-- I love the 2D black and white paint art. People literally line up to go to the one like this in NYC. The food? It's a bit mediocre. Don't get me wrong-- I'll still come here over some of the better tasting spots of its kind (like tasty moment, lao wu's, etc.) because I didn't have to WAIT here. They open early on weekends and you can walk right in (for now). The xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) are not bad. The skin is a bit thicker than I like personally, but the flavor is there. The wontons in chili oil were underwhelming to me. Then they have some random dishes like pho (but it's pretty mediocre). I think they can make improvements to their menu, but there's potential here. read more

A medium sized venue in a strip mall complex, so plenty of free parking. Bright comic style art interior incorporating Asian culture. No frills kinda place, nothing fancy. Staff are attentive and the service was fast. We had Dumplings in Chili Oil, BBQ Pork Bun, Chicken Stir Fry Noodles, Sesame Chicken, & Coconut Lemon Tea. The food was good, but not amazing. This place is definitely more of a trending venue that you could go to once for the unique interior. Again, the food is good, absolutely no complaints, but it wasn't so memorable that I'll be rushing back or telling everyone to go there. If invited, I would happily go back though.

Chopsticks Charm has a super cute, unique 2D cartoon style vibe that immediately stands out. Service was the real highlight, top tier even for takeout. I ordered to go, and the woman helping me was incredibly patient and kind. I showed her photos of what I was looking for, and she helped me place my order on the kiosk while offering suggestions, which made the whole experience genuinely pleasant. I also noticed dine-in guests ordering on iPads, which to me was a cool touch. Everything was packed neatly for me to take home in small cooler bags. I tried the passion fruit perfume lemon tea, which tasted very authentic, perfect for those who enjoy traditional Vietnamese tea. It wasn't bad at all, just not my preference since I lean toward sweeter, bubble tea drinks. Food wise, I had the dry noodles with beef and the shrimp stir fry with chicken. Both were okay and cooked to order, but it didn't quite hit the flavor mark for me. While I don't feel a strong pull to return, I can absolutely see others enjoying it. Great service, thoughtful experience and worth supporting if it fits your taste. read more

I had visited Chopsticks Charm back in January. There was a short wait as we had arrived during a lunch rush on a Saturday. The restaurant has a fun aesthetic in a 2D cartoon vibe. When we were finally seated we got a tablet to enter our order. We placed our entire order in the tablet. We got soup dumplings, bok choy, pork chop, and noodle. Everything was prepared fairly quickly. The soup dumpling was okay--the wrapper was on the thicker side. The filling to wrapper ratio was a little off for me. I really liked the pork chop. It was an okay meal. read more

Super cool new spot with such a fun 2D décor concept! The space is surprisingly spacious, and the menu has a lot of options to choose from. We started with the turmeric chicken wings and the pork soup dumplings, both were amazing. The dumplings were perfectly made, and the chicken was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. I also tried the passion fruit Perfume drink, which was a little too sweet for my taste, I would skip this next time. For entrées, my husband had the beef soup, and I went with the Dan Dan noodles (with the spice on the side, definitely glad I did that). The noodles were absolutely delicious, though I wish the portion size was larger since I've had bigger servings of Dan Dan noodles elsewhere. Overall, I'm so happy I stumbled upon this place! Obsessed with the vibe, loved the food, and can't wait to come back ASAP. read more

I understand why this went viral on TikTok - the interior design is so unique! The environment did feel a little casual, where you would walk up to the counter to order. I ordered for takeout, with the dry beef noodles. The total came out to $16 with tip. I won't say that it was the best noodles I've had... and the flavor was similar to mixed packets I've gotten from Asian grocery stores. I'm still happy I got to try this place out though! read more

A absolute GEM nested away in a unfamilar shopping complex. When you walk in, you will notice the unique decor, it is literally wall to wall, down to the floor. Food wise, everything was amazing. Flavors was not overpowering, hovering around the just right mark. If you're looking for a spot that is not hectic like everywhere else in Edison, this is it. Afterwards take yourself to the supermarket in the same complex. You'll find brands that no other asian supermarket has in the area. read more

Came across chopsticks charm on social media & then decided to actually go here for my lunch break. This restaurant is still fairly new so I'm sure they'll have so much more on their menu eventually. Menu does have a lot of pork for those who don't eat pork. I ordered a spicy cucumber salad.. I do like cucumber a lot but unfortunately the sauce was not so pleasing. It tasted more sweet, which I wasn't expecting. I didn't finish. I also order pan seared chicken dumplings, which I absolutely did like! They were soft on top but crunchy in the middle & I ordered a side of chili sauce to have it with the dumplings. I had to order the dumplings again to go. As a drink I ordered a passion fruit perfume tea & for me it didn't taste too sweet & I love how it had the passion fruit seeds to it. Very tasty! Next time I'll order the coconut perfume tea. Service was good! Owner was very sweet & waitress was kind! She has knowledge of the menu. After I walked in it got very busy so it did take time to get my check after. Ambiance was pretty cool, they way they have the restaurant set up as 2D & the design of it was amazing. Overall it was okay, I would come here to try different other items in the menu to give it a try. read more

Decent spot. The interior was super cute especially for content. We had gotten the soup dumplings, chicken wings, beef noodle soup and the Dan Dan noodles. The chicken wings and soup dumplings were good but nothing spectacular. But the noodles were cooked a little too well done as it was a tad bit too soft for my liking. My friend had also tried this place and she said hers was perfect and chewy. So there an inconsistency here. I would go back to try again read more

I live in Metuchen. Right now, Chopsticks Charm is my favorite takeout Chinese restaurant. So far I love their Xinzhou special noodles, Shumai, and Crystal Shrimp Dumplings... Their Shumai is especially delicious! That is my standard order... I will try other dishes when I decide to expand into their other menu offerings. Delivery is fast, on time and accurate... The food is delicious. I plan a future trip to dine at their restaurant :) read more

pepper fries- very good! Not too spicy at all. But I definitely can't overdo it with the red pepper. Good size fries too. I wanna say McDonald's size. chicken dumplings- chicken dumplings were very good. Nice and juicy veggie dumplings- I got these fried and I really liked these. Nice and crispy on the outside and still nice and juicy on the inside. boneless fried chicken- this I didn't really care for. It was a little hard to chew for me. scallion pancakes- these were my favorite. Nice and flaky. Very flavorful. veggie spring rolls- very good nice and crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Each item came with its own sauce which I don't remember which came with what but everything was delicious. I loved the ambience and the service. read more

It's a cute place. The appetizers were tasty. The soup dumpling was ok. Definitely can find better dumplings in Edison. The Beef Noodle soup was in the bland side. The pork chop rice was tasty but portions are a bit small for what you're paying for. The tea and boba drinks were good. Would come back here just for the apps and drinks. The service was good. Our waitress was nice. Place is clean. read more

The place is super cool! It's like stepping into a black-and-white cartoon! The decor is creative, fun, and definitely photo-worthy. The vibe was lively but not too loud, and I was seated right away.Service was okay. It looked like they checked on other customers more; maybe because I was dining solo, no one really came by after dropping off the food. Ordering through the QR code was quick and easy, and my food came out fast.The scallion pancake was flaky and pretty good. The dry noodles with beef, though, lacked flavor. You can taste the spiciness, but that's about it. The coconut perfume lemon tea was okay, nothing special. The star of the meal was the matcha mochi. It was so good! I'd go back to try other things. Maybe it was just an off day. read more

A nice hidden gem in Edison with plenty of parking as it's right in the same strip mall as Lotte, the Asian supermarket. The food was well portioned and very tasty. We ordered a variety of dishes in a well decorated dining room. The ordering system is via an individualized tablet with an intuitive menu layout. The tablet itself was very clean so it's not like the typical sticky screen at some of the other establishments with these. Excellent and friendly staff as well. Would definitely recommend and will visit again. read more

This was my first time here. This place was aesthetically beautiful!! The server came out immediately to greet us, provide us with the iPad to order. She circled back to explain menu items before we ordered. The food is made to order so it took a little time, but the wait was worth it. You can take pictures and walk around the cafe as you wait. The food was flavorful and delicious. My son didn't like his ramen, but I weren't home and remixed it and he enjoyed it!! We will definitely return!!! read more

Didn't really know what I was going in when I went this place. All I knew was that the ambiance was super cool cus everything is 2d and stuff. The food and drinks were all very well make and delicious, with our dishes that we got having a good balance of flavors. The service was good, they gave up waters before our meals and refilled whenever my glass got empty. Overall, I look forward to see the growth of chopsticks charm. We need more support for good food and nice ambiance food places. Final note, the teas are really good. Will be going back. read more

I was worried this place might be overpriced and gimmicky based on the decor. In addition to being a beautiful date spot it's also great food at great prices. Their spicy sichuan dishes are particularly tasty. We loved the steamed veggie buns and veggie dan dan noodles, and are excited to come back and try more of their interesting vegetarian dishes. The chairs were sturdy and very fat-friendly, also they had one of the nicest bathrooms I've ever been in. How often is a bathroom so pretty you feel compelled to take a picture of it? Again the food is great but honestly I'd go back just for that bathroom. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. I decided to go after seeing it on social media because the interior looked really cool, and that alone made me curious to check it out. What I didn't expect was how good the food would be. Everything we tried was delicious and well made, which honestly made the whole experience even better. The atmosphere is fun and the space itself is really nice to spend time in. It's the kind of place you go for the vibe but end up staying for the food too. Definitely worth a visit. read more

This was a lovely experience. The atmosphere is bright... very bright with the hand-painted walls and ceiling. There are a few too many setups for the space, so it kind of seems like a giant communal dining experience, but the service was enthusiastic and a delight. Then there was the food, which had a wonderful fresh taste. The wontons in chili oil and shrimp fried rice were standouts. So do not come expecting a subdued or semi-private dining experience, but the food was worth the cafeteria-like space. read more

This place has amazing ambience, but mediocre food. It was really just meh okay. Nothing special. They make you use your smartphone to order, I guess so the servers don't get it wrong. A big problem for us was the air conditioning. It was cranked so high, our food was served cold. I took the noodles home so I could heat them up. The soup dumplings were great, but got cold and rubbery before we could finish. You can't really take those home. That was the most disappointing thing. They really need to work on getting hot food on the tables, not lukewarm and rapidly losing heat. Not sure I want to come back since there are better places in the area to get the same food, but hot. read more

Had the chicken wings, zha jiang soup noodles with thin noodle option, Dan Dan noodles, beef noodle soup with pickled vegetables & wide noodle option, tripes in chili oil = every dish was very good flavor, very delicious. One unisex bathroom. Located in same plaza as Lotte. I can't wait to go back. Good service, water was refilled frequently. The black & white decor is unique & indeed charming! read more

We've been wanting to try this place after seeing it on social media. The restaurant is 2D and looks like a sketchbook world, with the tables and overall scenery being white with black outlines. One of the tables is tall and round with a "sketchbook" tree as a centerpiece and you can see into the kitchen via a long window. Tall jars of noodles are placed above the kitchen window as well inside a long display case. We were immediately seated after arriving. The server said that we can either order through her or scan the QR code on the table and order it that way. I opted to do the latter. We ordered the following: Tomato with pan fried egg soup and thin noodles- this was disappointing because the tomatoes that were served weren't ripe and not cooked. We were expecting it to be in small chunks and cooked till it's soft. Instead it was just sliced and thrown into the soup. Zha jiang noodle soup wide noodles - this was disappointing as well in that it was mostly noodles and not enough toppings. There were a couple of sprigs of vegetables and just a table spoon of ground meat. This is one of those entrees where you feel hungry after eating. LOL. Also, we had ordered this with wide noodles but they gave us something else. Didn't feel like letting them know. Potherb mustard and tofu skin - Hubs liked this a lot. It was mostly edamame and tofu and some mustard. Mouth watering chicken- this was easily the best item of the evening. Chicken was nice and spicy and not overdone. Crab and pork soup dumplings - this was pretty good. The soup dumplings didn't break when we took it out of the steamer. Passion mango lemon tea 25% sugar - I think this restaurant partnered up with Lemomo. I've seen this tea place in NYC Chinatown. It tasted sweet and ok. I'm glad I got to try this tea in NJ instead of going to NYC for it. Hubs says great appetizers but they need to amp up their noodle game. There's been a lot of soup dumpling places opening up locally. The last time we went to a place like this was in Florida and it was a Vietnamese place a few years ago. Glad we got to try this place! read more

Okay I rarely give bad reviews to a restaurant unless it actually sucked. The interior, cool but that's the only reason it got one star (also because of the fact that I can't put 0 stars) the first bowl of noodles I got was a bout a twenty minute wait, which was fine cause they were busy, but boy were the noodles soggy and disgustingly overcooked. My sister got a bowl of noodles and didn't even touch it. And my mom never even got her meal. After an hour the staff kept brushing us off saying that her food was still being made. After a while we finally annoyed them enough to check and the noodles weren't even made. They have a clear window so you can even see the chefs just standing there and not doing anything. The worst part is the waiter didn't even say sorry and gave us a two dollar discount, that was it, no apology, nothing. Never coming back ever again, please don't come here. read more
