Wish this place was better as there is a lack of good sit down Chinese restaurants in Methuen. The service and restaurant interior were good. The dining room was very loud due to poor acoustics. The Pan Asian/Fusion type restaurants try to do too much and nothing is great. There are sushi, Thai, and Polynesian and again nothing tasted authentic or good. Can't comment on the sushi as we didn't order any. read more

Drinks, Food, Service, Ambiance, everything was amazing!!! We will definitely come back again.

I am 80. I ordered by phone. I received the wrong item. I was so disappointed I didn't call them because I couldn't go back to the restaurant. the item we reciev d was not to our taste. We threw it away. I suspect the order taker deliberately selected something else because she informed me Kung Pow Chicken doesn't come with all white meat. I inform her that I always request it and they make it for me with an up charge. She also disagreed with my request for noodles with vegetables and replaced it with something else that had crispy things in it. I mentioned that I called because it was easier for me because of my age. I feel disrespected. instead of taking she time to make an inquiry she took it upon herself to assume I didn't know what I wanted. Disappointed read more

Fabulous! Our new favorite rather than. our usual places in Dracut and Tewksbury Prices were more than reasinable .. portions were huge ! Great drinks !! read more

We love this place! Beautiful view, delightful staff and excellent Asian food! We highly recommend it!

Really good food. Surprised me as I wasn't expecting much. Now I know why this place always looks busy! Service was only okay, though. Slow and not very pleasant. Hope it was just an off day because many people rave about the service. I'll come here again and see if the service is better! read more

Zoe, our server, and the young man managing the place on Friday night were beyond exceptional in customer service this Friday night. The restaurant was very busy and a few of our orders were delayed a little bit. It happens! They made sure we were given apps and checked on us often to see if we were happy. The sushi was very good and I personally loved my chicken wings on the pu pu platter. Really, though, the care that was shown to us was what stood out and guarantees that we'll be back. We will also tell all our friends to check the place out. Well worth the visit! read more

The food was good but my favorite thing about the place was Melissa our bartender but I notice her supervisor Linda was very pushy on her ! I thought that was so unprofessional!! Linda was telling her what to do in front of us when Melissa had it all together and doing a great job ! Linda was getting in her way while she was doing drinks for her customers ! I loved Melissa our bartender but I don't see her lasting if you have her supervisor down her throat plus the chef telling her what to do. When Melissa was handling it so well and doing a great job! Thanks Melissa for my Cosmo drink delicious and my husband old fashioned ! Great job! I hope you last but don't blame you if you leave ! Management should appreciate their great employees to make their business prosper! Thank you Melissa ! read more

Drinks and Food are great. People are great. Fox News is not great! Do not want to watch that or politicize my meal and make my meal less than enjoyable. read more

River Edge - a plate of scallops and a glass of wine - Chinese Near Me - Methuen, Massachusetts

See all

Tried this place over the weekend. Used to be Jacksons. The remodel, in & out was very well done. They even put French doors all along the wall against the deck which should have been done when the deck was built. Ambience is nice but I came to eat. Big mistake. I had merlot which was good, pepper steak, uncooked peppers, and mystery meat that tried to be beef, & a thin brown sauce. Over all just sad. Tried one of my friends spring rolls. Rather than firm & crispy it was soft & saggy. I also had pork fried rice that was mostly tasteless but not cold. We split a fabulous frozen cream brulee topped with seasonal berries for dessert. It was excellent. I wonder where it came from. The bill was $84 w/tip & only 1 alcoholic beverage. The service was good but the food was mediocre at best. Too bad. If you could eat ambience & service they'd be all set. Oh well. read more

Went there twice last week. The food was fantastic, full of flavor and beautifully presented, However, the service felt very rushed both visits. Which took away from the over all dinng expereicne. I wish we had more time to savor each dish and enjoy ambiance. As we were eating (the first visit-middle) they brought us the bill and ask us if we want take out boxes. I explained we are still eating. Ten minutes later as we were still eating the gentleman came over to move are plates as we where eating Second visit was exactly the same and when I explained to the waitress that the food is fantastic but I feel rushed she giggles (she had a beautifuls smile). I again told her we aren't in any rush and here she comes with the bill - take out boxes and sauce This was after I told her that we felt rushed read more

Rice tasted burnt tap water tastes like the Merrimack river .disappointed for a grand opening

Love this place! What a gem! Sushi is the best in the area, and the food is always delicious. Service is superb as well, and the ambiance is awesome. Great view of the river as well too, very peaceful. read more

Went to River Edge for dinner and found the staff friendly and helpful. The dishes were well prepared with generous portions. The Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings and the Mama Dumplings are delicious. read more

After counting down the days for this place to open, I was finally excited to visit! We made our inaugural visit on a busy Friday night. We were told that it would be about a 20-minute wait for four people which is surprising considering the amount of people that were in the lobby waiting. After we were seated, I ordered an espresso martini as well as some appetizers. We ordered the Crab Rangoon, the salt and pepper, chicken wings, and the spring rolls. For my entrée. I ordered the bento box with sesame chicken, fried rice, and California roll. The food tasted fresh, and I think it is a good value for what you get. Our server would come and check on us often, which is considerate due to how many people were in the restaurant. The restaurant has two levels, and we were seated in the first level towards the Merrimack River. I can't wait to come back during the summer to hopefully sit by the patio. read more

the bartender was busy giving her political option while we all ate. the eel avocado roll was pretty good the chicken skewers were a little dry better if dipped in the sauce. the real tragedy was the chicken fried rice i had three of four bites and there was just no taste very bland and I was expecting so much more. I'd def give it a try again but not if that bartender is working read more

My wife and I ate there last night. Service was terrible. Our appetizers showed up 10 minutes apart; annoying but not not catastrophic. Then we waited, and waited. 30 minutes later one of our main dishes was delivered and we waited, and waited. And after ANOTHER 30 minutes the other main dish arrived! The service was the worst! read more

everything was great. from service to food. the vibe was amazing aswell. the house rice is a must get and the salt and pepper shrimps are delish. read more

Called and asked for a outside table , and was told come right down ! So we did and was told their was no table available they were all taken! Than why would u tell us to come !! read more

Mama's Dumplings are the best I have ever had and I have been to China. Authentic and the filling is generous. Their ginger soy has a nice spark to it too. I can't put my finger on what they do differently than everyone else. I am not impressed with the General Gso's chicken. It seemed old like it was just reheated. But everything else was good! read more

Decided to stop by this newish establishment tonight. Probably won't return. Several reasons made the visit less than memorable. First, the food was not very good. Hot and Sour soup was OK, but Spicy Szechan Chicken was bland, at best. Rice isn't included with the dishes, but costs an extra $4 for a small bowl. Service was not attentive, and seemed to spend more time gabbing with each other than paying attention to clients. To be clear, it wasn't a totally bad experience, just mediocre at best. There are worse places to get Asian food in the area, but there are also many other better choices as well. read more

Definitely recommend River Edge! We've been there twice now and the service is outstanding. We've brought our 6 month old both times and the staff has gone out of their way to say hi to her and make her smile. The food is tasty, the mai tais are strong, and I love the view. Can't wait to go back when it's warm and enjoy the outdoor space! read more

Fabulous i have been there several times And enjoyed the meal and the staff are fabulous. Have tried many dishes all were awesome.great addition to the area. Finally we have a great Chinese restaurant in the area. read more

We got take out from here tonight and the food was terrible. the Pad Thai was very bland. There was no fish sauce at all and very scarce with ingredients. The Lo Mein was very dry as well. If you want good Chinese food, look somewhere else! read more
