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. =(

True Hunan Style Authentic Chinese Food - Spicy and Delicious!…read more We had a party of 8 come here ... with everyone who could only handle different levels of spiciness.

I did question myself if I was better off ordering from a neighborhood Chinese place than ordering an authentic meal. The spicy wonton was only palatable rest most of the food was over fried, sweet lacking any flavor. The chicken pepper was boiled chicken, hunan seafood had no flavor, I had to add sauces to my chow mein. Not ordering anymore unfortunately

There were 3 chefs cooking when I picked up the order. We got egg drop soup, crab meat fried rice WHICH WAS EXCELLENT and the shrimp egg foo young (3 patties with white rice and brown gravy).

The place is open for pick up with a few chairs on the side for people who need to wait for their orders yet. Very nice place. Next to the Bridgewater Bakery in the same strip mall !

This has been our go-to Chinese Takeout spot for years and years. We moved a few towns away at…read moresome point and still found ourselves calling ahead to pickup at China Wok some nights. The food is consistently delicious and fresh. The staff is always friendly and happy to help you. The portions are also so large, if I order a large for dinner I easily have lunch and maybe a little snack leftover for the next day. I should also add that the price is very fair for the amount of food that they give you. No matter the day, the wait is never more than 20 minutes when we call ahead and it's clearly just a smooth operation inside. We have moved back to the area and will be visiting China Wok more frequently now. I am very happy about that.

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.

Shu House is a great staple if you're looking for authentic local Chinese food…read more The food here is really, really good--pretty much everything we ordered was delicious. 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.

Better than a lot of places in Flushing & Chinatown and even the San Gabriel Valley in CA! Highly recommend the Salt & Pepper Grouper. It's deep fried and has the same seasoning as the popular Fried Squid with Salt & Pepper, but better! The fish is much more tender than squid. The batter is crispy and not oily at all. Also delicious was the Shrimp with Black Bean Sauce. Not on the menu. Will definitely be coming back in the future to try their other dishes and dim sum as well.

I've been there often enough that they immediately know my usual: veg lo mein, sometimes with 2 veggie spring rolls or veg dumplings. Despite getting the "small"/regular size for veg lo mein, it is a ton of food - definitely a filling meal. I've never had any complaints about the food; it's cooked well, and tastes great. I usually go in the evening, and there's almost never a crowd. It's no 5-star restaurant, obviously, but it's exactly what I like.

If you're ordering from here, definitely try those from the menu.

It's not a "fancy" Chinese food place, more of a good food place. We had company from Texas who are Chinese and love the Lomein here better than in Texas. Reasonable price for the portion size.

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.
