Amazing delicious fresh sushi and delivery was very fast. I was able to order delivery at 9:30 pm so it's also a good later option. read more

When we want to treat ourselves to a sushi experience, or asian food, my wife and I need not say anything other than "Fan Bistro." We moved to the area in 2024 and since then have exclusively given our Asian take-out money to this wonderful eatery. The sit down dining experience is also lovely, with beautiful decor and professional staff. There is something on the menu for everyone: appetizers, sushi, warm meals, soups, Thai food, lunch specials, and dessert. If you live in driving distance, or are even just visiting New Providence, have a meal at Fan Bistro - you won't be disappointed. read more

Entrance is deceiving. Entered from the street where the "open" sign was displayed. Walked into the kitchen and was directed around the corner. Tried house wonton soup, orange chicken, house fried rice and chicken and broccoli. Standard fare Americanized Chinese food with lots of sugar and mostly bland flavor profiles. I now live in California in which the Chinese food is uber authentic and crazy full of flavor. Not much difference between Fan bistro and the other restaurants in town. I would still recommend. read more

Gone here a few times and the food is amazing. The service is great and the staff is nice. Their Tso's chicken is great and their lobster salad and California rolls are great. read more

Great and helpful staff. Can get busy during dinner and lunch hours with takeouts. Takeout drivers are the nicest people and I'm hoping they're getting those tips digitally, too. Plenty of seating inside. We love the sushi there and if you ever wanted to change it up, they have a variety of Chinese and some other foods, too. read more

We have been using Fan Bistro at work for a little while. The food is always delicious and everything is delivered as promised. Today we placed an order for 12. Everything was delivered as requested. I love how the sauce, utensils and napkins come in an individual packet per person. No more looking for sauce or utensils. My eggplant with shrimp is loaded with eggplant. Not many restaurants have eggplant every day. Keep up the good work!! read more

I go to this restaurant several times a year when visiting relatives in the area. Their food is consistently good and their portions are good (we are usually all full after eating!). They hired new staff in the last few months and their service has greatly improved! So overall, I'd highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the area. The ambiance has an upscale/romantic feel to it. I have also gotten to know the owners after they changed the staff. They are such a nice family. read more

We love the food here, but the other night I had to wait 40 minutes past the promised pick-up time for my food. When I arrived about 20 people were waiting for pick up. Meanwhile, the DoorDashers were coming in to pick up their orders non-stop. The table that once held the DoorDash bags was empty when my food finally came out. I assume they prioritized the DoorDash orders because they feared bad reviews. Here's the thing though, your DoorDash customers are brand agnostic, and are not your loyal customers. It's the people who live locally and get in their cars to pick up their food who are your loyalists and guess what? We write reviews too! read more

The food here is always amazing! I've been consistently returning to Fan Bistro for upwards of two years now. The food is always fresh, packed cleanly, and at an affordable price with large portion sizes. My personal favorite is their selection of sushi, which is always fresh and flavorful. I especially love the Summer Madness Roll and the Love Affair Roll which are both unique and delicious. read more

Basically, the prices are up and the taste of the food is diminished. I always get take out, or have the food delivered, so I can't comment on the ambiance of the restaurant, because I don't eat there in the building. Fan Bistro is conveniently located, and they do have delivery service, but that's no longer enough. The place hasn't been the same in the last few years. The food is generally fresh and the quality is abve average, but nothing has a distinctive taste. I ordered General Tso chicken and shrimp with Chinese vegetables, plus a quart of soup and two appetizers, and everything was pretty bland. I think they must have a frequent turn over of Chefs. I am going to give the place a rest for a couple of months, and try some other local Chinese restaurants. read more

Used to live in the area and this was my go-to Chinese restaurant (note: they do both Chinese and Japanese cuisine). They have a great interior with plenty of seating. Always liked them because their food isn't super greasy/oily like other Chinese restaurants in the area. Feels a little more clean tasting here. Meat quality is always great. Flavors meet expectation, but nothing over the top. Portions are always pretty good - usually have a decent amount where you get to take home a little leftover. Their food is presented well (especially with the sushi - they do sushi boats!). Service is always quick and friendly (even with the takeout). A well run business. Love stopping by when I'm in the area. read more

Consistently good food. Coming here for years. Like wonton soup, spare ribs, egg rolls, pineapple fried rice and cold sesame noodles. However I always do take out. Dining in service not so good. read more

Went here with a coupon and was told I could not use it for lunch, this was not stated on the coupon. Then was told I couldn't use it since I ordered a lunch special and coupon was only valid on dinner, once again not stated on coupon. Ordered the tempura shrimp, was so greasy and tasteless, as well as the tempura vegetables. Sushi was dry. Fried dumplings were decent. read more

Great local Chinese take-out place in New Providence! My husband's family has been ordering from Fan Bistro for years! You can't beat their lunch specials and the food is always ready within 20 minutes! P.S. If you're not a fan of Chinese, then you can browse their other menu options as they also have Thai, sushi, etc.! read more

Food is great ! Service is on point and I really enjoy the ambience of the place. Feels middle eastern and music is not to loud that you can hold a conversation. Also love that it's open on a Monday many other sushi locations closed. read more

Quick, easy, and delicious. We called and ordered spicy tuna and fried ice cream to go, they said it would be ready in 25 minutes. Got there 25 minutes later and it was hot and ready. Both were super tasty read more

Very good food and a cute atmosphere. Service was friendly and attentive. Will definitely go back.

I get take out from here on a somewhat regular basis. The food is decent. Doesn't distinguish itself from other Chinese places. I've also dined in a couple of times and the interior is also like a typical Chinese restaurant. Nothing really good or bad to say about the place. read more

Food was fresh, and clean. Restaurant was well staffed. Loved how freshly prepared everything was. Flavors were mild, and needed a little adjustment, but big portions and tasted great. Our new go to!! read more

This is a reprint of a review I wrote in 2016. Nice atmosphere, BYOB, good food.  Consistant flavor on cooked meals, sushi however can be hit and miss depending on who's building the pieces.  Wait staff also hit and miss, sometimes they definitely give you attitude.  If you just want soup to go or a small lunch snack, watch out for their minimum charge limits.  A little pricey for this type of food also. read more

Ive been coming to Fan for about a year now and their food is always great! Minus one star because the service is hit or miss but i am never disappointed with the food. Today i got 3 sushi rolls and with tip my bill was a little under $13! Unbeatable. I got the salmon avocado, white fish tempura, and sweet potato roll. All delicious. The tempura rolls are usually too big to eat in one bite gracefully but oh well. I also love getting their bento box dinner combos when i am reallllly hungry. The bento box comes with soup, salad, dumplings, a 6 piece california roll, shrimp tempura, THEN rice and your entree choice. It is sooo much food and it is all great. The steak teriyaki is never overcooked and falls apart in your mouth. This is my go to place for asian food in this part of jersey! Oh and it's BYOB so i also love coming here for lazy date nights. read more

Been going to this place for years. Aside from the prices slowly creeping up the quality and portions have always been good. My go to takeout spot in the area. read more

2 seems generous; the Cold sesame noodles were really salty with virtually no flavor of tahini. I tossed them after a few bites. The moo shu pork was totally lacking in egg and full of cabbage. Credit that the amount of pork was ok. Pancakes were good. Overall, there seems to be potential, but no heart in the dishes. read more

Took my friend out for her birthday, I have been very very tight with money lately and worked hard to gather some money to take my friend here for dinner. We ordered food (which was good, there was something questionable in my drink which I did not say anything about but i kept quiet - and the bill came. I paid for it & left a tip (I normally ALWAYS tip 20 % however, I did not actually have the money to do so today with my funds so tight) I left a 10% tip, which I felt bad about but I gave what I could & am truly grateful for our waiters service.. The waiter came up to me and asked me why I tipped him so little and that his manager told him to ask customers to give him atleast 15% tip and that what I gave him wasn't good. I was so taken back by it and I was SO embarrassed that my friend saw that I didn't tip very high and he actually handed me the receipt and pen to tip him more. I asked him, "I'm confused- are you telling me 15% tip is mandatory with the bill or are you just asking me for more money?" And he said "im asking you for more money" I added more to the tip and left, however I think that was VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. VERY RUDE. I work in a tipping industry and even though it doesn't feel great to not get a high tip, I am grateful for anything. I have had people not tip me before and I can only assume that they just don't have it and that's okay. Times are tough right now & They paid for their food/ service & that is the only thing required at the end of the day. What a nasty thing to have someone actually ask you for MORE of a tip because your tip wasn't good enough. What a WILD experience I have never had this happen to me. It is such a shame because I order food from here ALL OF THE TIME. For delivery, for pick up, for most of my life as I have been a local for so long- and now they will be losing a faithful customer. read more

FRESH SUSHI! My go-to sushi place in the area. Great lunch specials for not only sushi and Japanese dishes, but Chinese food as well. Great options! They also give certain percentages off your bill when dining in. Their Chinese food is so-so, not the best in the area, but their (almost always) fresh sushi makes up for it. Will return! read more

For those of you who haven't been here in a while (or ever), the sit-down restaurant portion is finally open! The configuration of the original restaurant has been changed so it is just a large counter for take-out orders - you enter the restaurant from the parking lot. The menu has changed very little on the Chinese food end of things, but a decent Japanese/sushi menu has been added. The restaurant has some high-backed booths along the walls along with regular tables through the rest of the space. It's a bit darker than you'd expect from a Chinese restaurant, but the ambiance is quite nice - a little bit more romantic, if you will. They've barely been open a month, so I'm not going to be too nit-picky with the place. The food was solid, as usual. The pan fried dumplings were out of this world - they definitely don't skimp on the meat like many places do! The Man enjoyed his chicken with broccoli as he usually does, and I was quite satisfied with my beef chow fun. Our entrees were served on standard white china, and everything was quite tidy. The service was prompt and friendly even though the restaurant did start to get crowded while we were there. read more

Best chinese food in town. Portion to price ratio is excellent. Usually have lunch and dinner in one platter. Will continue going here

Never again! They do not tell the truth about pickup wait times. Over 20 customers inside waiting for pickup for over an hour. Finally got our food and it was awful. Second time in the past month, same scenario. We have been going to Fan Bistro for years. We were trying to remain flexible since the times are tough. But they were rude, uncaring and incredibly disorganized. read more

Outstanding customer service. Delivery fast, driver professional . Thank you for all your deliveries during this virus situation.

I do takeout from Fan Bistro once a week and the food is consistently good. The menu is diverse- so some of us get Chinese food, others get sushi. And the sushi is alway very fresh which is so important. From the sushi menu, I recommend the Rainbow Naruto roll which has every type of fish rolled in cucumber. My son loves the Yellow Beauty (shrimp tempura, cucumber topped with mango). My other go-to's on the Chinese dinner menu is the Young Chow fried rice and the Happy Family. I had to eliminate a star because the food is often not ready when they say it will be, so go at least 15 minutes later than they say. And there can be quite the line which moves slowly. But I'm willing to put up with it since the food is worth it. read more

Take out disaster. I ordered a meal for my family on-line at 4PM for a 6PM pick up. I received an e-mail confirmation. When I arrived there were 8-10 people standing in the rain waiting for their food in the parking lot. The hostess appeared intermittently to ask for order numbers/ phone numbers to check on status. An order would come out here and there, but the crowd began to grow and it was clear that they were falling further and further behind. After standing in the rain for 45 minutes, I once again asked for my order's status. I was told 5-10 more minutes, which meant that they probably hadn't even started on the order I had placed almost 3 hours prior. With that, I canceled and walked away. I thought that restaurants were staving for business? Why do this to paying customers? I don't like having my time wasted. Never again. read more

Our go-to place in the area for sushi. Lots to choose from, all pretty good and done well. If you define value as quality versus price, it's the best sushi around imo. Kitchen food is good, too. Like the wonton egg drop mix. read more

This was my first time trying this location of Fan Bistro. I got the lunch special with 2 sushi rolls, one was cucumber eel and the second was spicy tune. The miso soup and salad that came with it was really tasty too! I ordered online and went to pick it up about half an hour later. The employee that I interacted with did not seem the kindest. She was a bit harsh and seemed unhappy having to give us our food. read more

Fan Bistro - Lunch special 2 sushi rolls (cucumber eel and spicy tuna) - Chinese Near Me - New Providence, New Jersey

They took great care of me. I used their web site to put in a take-out order and drove over to the Livingston location to pick it up. When I realized the Livingston location was closed for renovation, I was pissed! I assumed they had closed and didn't take down their web site. That's when I noticed several missed calls on my phone. Turns out I had actually ordered from the New Providence location, and they were wondering when I'd come pick up my order. When I told them I meant to order from Livingston, and would not be able to drive to New Providence to pick it up, they put me on hold and then quickly came back to tell me they could send their delivery person out to bring it to my house, no extra charge. I was happy to hear that! I was ready to write it off as lost money, since it was ultimately my fault for not paying attention to which address I was ordering from. I tipped the driver more than average, hopefully it was worth the extra hassle for them. Also, the food looked beautiful, and was delicious. read more

When this was called 'China Fan' it was a fantastic take out place. Everything fresh, crisp and tasty. 2 months ago, they added a formal restaurant, and changed the name to 'Fan Bistro' In the 5 times we've gotten dinner from the take out since then, it's gotten progressively more mediocre. Tonight was the final straw: they forgot the white rice and the brown sauce for the dumplings. The dumplings were dry, and different then they had always been before...and so was the won ton soup. The egg rolls were soggy, and tasted like the kind you get at a cheap food court not the ones they usually serve... and, the boneless spare ribs were fatty with lots of gristle. The final insult was to replace my normally crisp and tasty shrimp toast (which is on the menu) with soggy, oversized funky - tasting shrimp puffs. We have been getting food here weekly for the past several years; but we won't be coming back any time soon. read more

Not long ago I would have given China Fan a 3 to 3.5 star rating, but now, Fan Bistro got too big for their pants. I feel that "The Fan" has more than they can handle especially now with the recent closing of Chen's. I'm sure they picked up more customers, but they haven't learned how to handle the customers that they presently have after re-opening. I don't get it. They have more staff, cooking and serving, but the service is MUCH slower. I often order take out and they have gotten my order wrong on several occasions, approximately 3-5 times. Examples are white rice instead of brown rice, chicken instead of shrimp, vegetables instead of shrimp, sometimes no shrimp at all in meals that call for shrimp. I must mention, however, that I made a call after the last order mistake. They kindly took down my name and number and credited me for the next time I placed an order which they honored the next time. I hope they can get it together because the area needs a place like this. I hope that customers enjoy better service in the future. read more

I have been looking for some Chinese food for over a year now. A neighbor suggested I try this place. They have a daily lunch menu so I figured let me try it on a special just in case I don't like it. I ordered the Chicken & Broccoli/ Brown Rice with a Won Ton soup. Overall I would say it was pretty good all things considered. I think it could have used a lil more flavor but nothing some soy sauce didn't fix. The waiters were friendly. It was $8.25 tax included not a bad deal especially in this area. I would give it another try. read more
