A roadside place that's very easy to miss--or mistake for Italian... But, particularly if you are local to local-ish and vegetarian, make a point of finding it and stopping. Small, hole in the wall-y, and comfortable enough, we eat here fairly regularly and the food is always excellent. And as vegetarians eventually learn, there's a lot of hidden animal products--broths especially--in otherwise vegetarian sounding Chinese cooking. A real find for me. read more

Sentosa Restaurant - sweet and sour tofu - Chinese Near Me - Brick, New Jersey

Got lunch here the other day, I ordered on the phone for a takeout order. 15 minutes later or so I went to picked it up, the lady inside was nice. Indoors it's small inside only a few tables. I got the chicken with mixed vegetables and some white rice and an egg roll. Everything tasted pretty good. The prices here are on the cheaper side as well. Not a bad Chinese spot! read more

Sentosa Restaurant - Chicken with vegetables, white rice and an Egg Roll - Chinese Near Me - Brick, New Jersey

If I could give zero stars I would. The shrimp and lobster sauce was fishy. Our shrimp rolls were burnt and tasted old. The spare ribs were like biting into a rubber band. They looked pretty but tasted like road kill. I gave them the opportunity to make it right and there response was can you bring the food back? I ordered delivery for a reason. I wouldn't order from this place ever. read more

Incredible food and incredible service. Has been mine and my family's favorite restaurant for years.

Our family has been going here for many years. The food is outstanding. The woman that runs it is fantastic. She goes above and beyond. She remembers our orders and is always nice and friendly. I world give 10 stars if I could. The best!!! read more

Great food! Lots of vegetarian options which is really nice. Love the veggie rolls and the veggie sesame chicken read more

Sentosa Restaurant - a person holding a bag of food - Chinese Near Me - Brick, New Jersey

When you think Jersey shore, Chinese cuisine is not the first thing that comes to mind. So what do you do when you have a hankering for it and in you're in the Brick neighborhood? Come to Sentosa restaurant. I have a feeling they are more of a takeout than sit in place because no one was there when we arrived (or maybe because it was a Sunday afternoon) but the woman working was so polite and pleasant that it didn't matter. The only reason I'm taking off two stars is because the tap water tasted a little like bell peppers (she did offer bottled but I was being frugal) and there were not as many vegan options for my friend as we would have liked. My food was great! Not too greasy or heavy and they had a variety of interesting dishes to choose from. I will definitely be ordering from them again when I'm down there. read more

This gem is located in the middle of nowhere in Brick, NJ and it is a regular place us NJ vegans visit. Almost no one knows that they have an extensive vegan-asian menu, and it is usually quiet and private inside. It was my first experience going out to eat as a vegan I was so impressed and happy. I have brought many vegan and non-vegan friends, and even my entire family there and there is something for everyone on the menu. All of my friends and family have loved the place. This place is incredibly affordable and it is family run. I really miss going to this place! If you are ever around the area stop in! Get the scallion pancakes!! :) No alcohol menu, it's BYOB. The place is tiny, comfy and clean enough, but by no means classy. They do their most business thru take out I assume. Beware, if you have had great vegan food in a city, don't compare it to them. Think about where you are, it is really special that a place like this is in NJ. read more

Was super excited to try this place given it catered to vegan/vegetarian with setan/soy/tofu.... Unfortunately, nothing but dissapointment. Veggie tofu seaweed soup was okay but veggies weren't cooked enough, still essentially raw. Sweet and sour soy entree was tough and chewy along with a find of human hair. Yup. You read it, human hair. Always an unappetizing find. Waters were never refilled. The other two meat entrees were okay. We were also charged full price. Even after I didn't finish my meal thanks to the human hair putting me off of my dinner. Sadly, won't be back. read more

Great food, great price, and fast service! Highly recommend ordering takeout. Food is always hot and ready when I walk in.

Only give this place one star so that I may write a comment. Last weekend we purchase $100 worth of food here. We eat here a lot. However, our large order came with a marinated friend a roach!! So we called and complaint. But the lady was nasty. Said that if we didn't want out order this time all we had to do was say so. SMH as if I want to to waste my gas for another 30 drive again!!! Will never eat here again!!! read more

The best Chinese food I've ever had. I have friends from out of state that want to visit just to have their Chinese food again

Good vegan Chinese food is hard to come by. Dentists definitely does it right. Would love a few more options though, but delicious non the less. I would give them 5 stars, but there was an unfortunate screw up on 2 take out orders where I got real meat instead of the vegan item I ordered. Food is top notch otherwise. How about 4.5 stars? :-) read more

Terrible customer service. Guy who answered the phone was very rude. Wouldn't delivered even tho we are only 3.8 miles away. So I went to pick up order. Food was also trash. read more

Feel bad to write this review because the owner was very nice but as I was twirling my Chow mein around my fork I also twirled a long black hair with it...the owner gave us a credit of the price of the chow mein but I can't look at their food the same...I see a lot of reviews on here like this I hope they clean up the place and their preparation because the food is great read more

Good food and prices. We ordered take out- we were very happy with the pan fried dumplings, chicken with broccoli, and beef with string beans. The flavors and sauces were very good and diverse. The lady behind the counter was very sweet. There are a lot of vegetarian options- we will definitely be trying those next time. read more

THIS PLACE IS PERFECT!!!!! I have NEVER been disappointed. Friendly and lovely staff, always smiling and helpful. The food is outstanding and it's great for when I'm feeling like I want some Chinese fast food and can still get all I'm craving (since I'm Vegetarian and they have TONS of vegetarians options)!!!! I recommend this place to anyone especially if you're a vegetarian. read more

Went there tonight after reading the reviews. I was looking forward to it. Soup was ice cold. I ordered something with noodles, chicken in a peanut sauce. I didn't even finish my cold wonton soup my meal came out. I said, oh I wanted to finish my soup first. She literally just walked away. Food was terrible, no flavor and disgusting. I barely ate any of it. When the check came, they saw it was barely touched. She didn't even ask what's wrong bc I didn't even take it home. Charged me full price. read more

My go-to for AMAZING vegan Chinese!!! Always fresh, always delicious. So happy Door Dash delivers from there now! My favorite dish is Sweet & Sour Tofu, the egg rolls and wonton soup! read more

A friend of mine suggested Sentosa for their vegan menu- not just a few offerings but a rather decent sized list of things to choose from. My husband and I always start our meals off with an appetizer of sunshine ribs which never disappoint. The place is small but the food is always delicious every time and the service is always very polite and pleasant. I'd love to see even more added to the vegan options but I'm rather impressed and delighted with what is already available. This has become a weekly visit for us on Friday nights to travel from ocean TWP to Brick. Little tip: order the sunshine ribs and the tso's veg chicken. You won't be disappointed! read more

Fan-freaking-tastic. I'm going to start by saying I've been living within 2 miles of this place, having lived in this area for the last ~7 years, and only *recently* did I start going here. I kind of wanted to hit myself for not trying it sooner. I'll admit, I was reluctant to try this place at first. While I have absolutely nothing against it, I'm about the farthest thing you can get from a vegetarian, and a vegetarian friend of mine was the one who was telling me about how good this place was. He continued to tell me how amazing it was for about a year, until he came over one day and all but dragged me to their doorstep. I'll tell you what.. I'm glad he did. The food here is really great. As I stated earlier, I'm not a vegetarian. That being said, the vegetarian food is fantastic. The "General Tso's Mushroom", I actually like *better* than the chicken variant (which is also quite good here, mind you). The vegetarian "sunshine ribs" are downright amazing, and the Malaysian menu has some pretty great stuff on it too. Don't make the same mistake I did, and write this place off as a sub-par Chinese place that caters to vegetarians. Give it a shot, you will not be let down! read more

Pad Thai left a lot to be desired... noodles were dry, no sauce whatsoever. Plus the almost two hour wait on delivery is enough to not want to order from them again. I never write bad reviews on these things but this is the third time they have severely underdelivered. read more

Hole in the wall, but luv, luv their food...I had Vegetarian Triple delight, hot n sour soup, brown rice, spring roll, n sweet potato fries....Yummmmm!! Sis had vegetarian tso's, n Mom had vegetable egg foo young. Food is always delicious, and I'm Sooo thankful for the vegetarian menu. The owners/workers are very friendly. The sweet Lil lady at the register/waitress is sweet as pie, and gets to know u & what u like when Ur a regular!!! read more

Amazing. Owners are sweethearts. Food- We travel 45 minutes to eat the vegetarian menu. It is that good. My husband always order Rose Petals. I change it up each time. Ambiance- Not updated but clean. You will love it. read more

Love the food! Great sweet and sour sensation! Def recommend. Reasonably priced. Fast delivery. Huge scallion pancakes.

Fresh, better-than-average ingredients with an intriguing menu. Decent value, with some of the best Chinese food in Brick. Scallion pancakes are addicting although not as healthy as I'd like. The sunshine ribs are also surprisingly appealing even though they unfortunately seem to be fried. Although there are certainly enough healthy options on the menu! Perhaps my favorite part about Sentosa is how well they can make almost any meal on the menu healthy without the hundreds of extra calories oils add. Plus, the meats are relatively high quality for this type of Chinese restaurant! Update: it's been a few months since I ate from here. The tasty morsel menu can do no wrong: the autumn rolls I tried were very good and the wonton soup is still quality. Unfortunately, the meats and fish were not that great in my main dish. Tasted overcooked and are not the same quality I remember, which is a shame since the tasty morsels and sauces are very good here. Hopefully it was a one-off night but I was disappointed by the main dish. Sentosa has a better overall menu and superior sauces/soup but China Express has had higher quality meats the last few times I ordered from them. read more

Not your typical chinese takeout but a really neat hole in the wall Malaysian place with lots of inventive vegetarian dishes. You don't have to be a vegetarian to eat here (I'm not) but if you want an alternative once in a while and you're feeling like you want to eat veggies in an exciting way try this. I know this place had been here for a while so I went here with a coworker and ordered the Autumn Roll and veg Tso's chicken. Was really impressed with both dishes and the tea was great too as someone else on here had mentioned. I'll definitely be returning to try more on the menu. Everyone seems to rave about the Sunshine Ribs so that will be next. read more

I am never disappointed when I eat at Sentosa. The quality and variety of vegetarian food is overall the best I have seen yet in Asian/Chinese cuisine. I have been going there for 15 years now and tonight's dinner was as delicious as the first time. I recommend the Chickn Nuggets, Scallion Pancakes, Crispy Tofu, Bean Curd Scechzuan Style, Veggie Genreal Tso's, Spring Roll and Cold Sesame Noodles with Spicy Peanut Sauce. The only dish I am not a fan of is their Lomein. It is just different than any other place. read more

Sentosa was one of the first vegan / vegetarian friendly restaurants that I discovered when I moved into the area several years ago. Since then, a few other accommodating spots have sprung up, but Sentosa will always have a special place in my heart. The food is great and there is an extensive vegan/vegetarian menu, my favorites are the lo Han chicken or sesame chicken, sauces are flavorful and "chicken" & veggies are amazing. Sunshine ribs or scallion pancakes are yummy for appetizers and their springs rolls are crunchy and delicious. Whenever my friends come to visit, Sentosa is always a must! The only reason I wouldn't give Sentosa 5 stars is that the restaurants decor is in dire need of a revamp, but the food and service are excellent. read more

So there's a lot of hype about Sentosa. We finally decided to try it out. I do whole heartedly believe that this place will be a gem - once I find that one dish that sends it through the roof for me. On our first visit, it was just OK. I got "pad thai" which was really just mei fun. It didn't taste bad, but I was expecting pad thai and didn't get it. Also, the shrimp wasn't deveined and that freaks me out. Egg rolls were very good. Chicken satay appetizer was great, too. Inside it is very small and dark. Cramped. The proprietor was very sweet. We'll try it again eventually. read more

Heard good things about this place so we thought we'd get some take out tonight. I ordered the Chicken Pad Thai. I received Chicken and SHRIMP (what tasted exactly like Mei Fun - not any Pad Thai I've ever had) Pad Thai. At first I thought they mixed up my order and actually gave me Mei Fun, but there were crumbles of nuts (that had no taste - not even of peanut) on top, so I guess this was what they call Pad Thai. And I suppose if someone was allergic to shellfish they'd probably be pretty upset they received shrimp in their Chicken (what tasted exactly like Mei Fun) Pad Thai. My boyfriend got the General Tso Chicken. It was OK. I guess I'll have to try something else next time, if there is a next time, which I doubt. read more

This place is still awesome... working overnights in the area now, I learned that there regular Chinese food is just as amazing as their vegetarian menu.... I think they have (HANDS DOWN) The best crab Rangoon and spring rolls. I think they must make their own wrappers and wrap their own rolls because the food doesn't taste like it's ever been frozen. I've only had one miss meal... and i think it's because someone ordered wrong for me..... The DM2 is usually what i get.... It's a hearty portion of chicken and mixed veggies dry rubbed with a Chinese BBQ spice blend. This, some brown rice, and a little garlic sauce, the food pretty much contains 0% fat.... all protein and veggies. They never skimp, soups and other specialties are equally amazing... and try their Malaysian food... yum. Friendly staff! Not updated BUT CLEAN. read more

PROS: Good selection of vegetarian options. CONS: Tastes like your typical American Chinese Restaurant. read more

This place is cute as hell - nice chinese lady made wonton soup, veggie triple delight (with vegan ham, chicken, and seitan), and even threw-in a free vegan egg roll! The whole meal was to die for!! Will definitely return and bring more people this time read more

This place used to have great food so we were very disappointed with our food. We ordered the hunan beef which was extremely salty and not at all spicy, and the beef was very tough. We also ordered the chicken lo mein which was quite dry and the chicken had a bad aftertaste, we each tasted it and the rest went right into the garbage. The steamed dumplings were ok but that's it just ok because they were a little doughy and they were cold. It's a shame that this place went downhill because it really was very good. read more

Great, little - tiny, resteraunt, no fancy cocktails, no decor, just the food. As the other reviewers note, the sunshine "ribs" and scallion pancakes with "ham" are amazing. The vegetarian moo shu was lovely, good flavor, no meat, but clearly related to other moo shu's that you have had before. A shrimp dish was cooked to just tender, with crisp tender vegetables, just as expected. It's like an old fashioned, excellent, Chinese restaurant you might remember from your youth, but with a heavy vegetarian bias. Can't believe I hadn't tried it before. read more

The STANDARD in Chinese food. Seriously. i have never had food anywhere else - pf changs, peking pavilion, etc - that matches the flavor and the quality of Sentosa. From the spring rolls to pineapple chicken to the veggie sweet and sour sensation, everything here is delish! There is something for everyone here, veggies and carnivores alike. It isnt in the middle of nowhere in Brick as one reviewer mentions. It is on Rt 88 en route to Point. Very easy to get to. read more

Never thought I would have a vegan Chinese option here in Monmouth county! All I can say is that this place is AMAZING. Their veggie chicken is out of this world and if you are thinking of coming here then DO IT. You will not be disappointed at all, I promise! I got the veggie chicken with General tso's sauce and it was just out of this world. The lady who works at the front counter is extremely nice as well, great place all around and my food was out to me quickly! Highly recommend and I will now be a regular customer here! read more
