Szechuan wontons were drowning in some kind of peanut sauce. Chow fun, hot and sour soup, and general tso's were pretty flavorless as well. Must've been a bad night or because I ordered online they just didn't try. Either way won't be ordering again, waste of a $50. read more

The Food is excellent and fresh family run, Lynn, went above and beyond for us. Will be back

One of the better spots in the area for Chinese. Most of the dishes are fairly americanized, but you probably aren't going to find much else in this area in terms of authenticity, and I give this place credit for consistent quality, particularly their fried rice. The lunch specials are pretty reasonably priced for the portion size, which is getting harder to find these days. Some of the larger entrees are probably better but not as wallet-friendly. Service and the somewhat depressing interior though are what lowers the rating for me. Seat cushions are ripped and not stable, tables and dishes aren't clean, and is tough to get ahold of servers. I'll probably come back every once in a while since it's close to my work, but that might be more due to the relative lack of asian restaurants in the area. read more

While the food is just mediocre, Americanized "Chinese" food, the service is horrific. I have h to write this review, but the service is consistently (not a one time event) bad. We typically get take out. They tell me a half hour and o have at times had to wait 45 min or an hour. If they would be honest in their time estimation, they would be doing customers a favor. Don't lie!! They also have on a couple occasions forget items, so be sure to check your order before you leave the restaurant. Too bad this town only has a couple "Chinese" restaurants. That's what's keeping them in business. read more

Best Chinese food in the area, it always comes quickly and is hot and fresh. It's a bit on the expensive side for some things but it's worth it. read more

Honestly their food is just great. Terrific classic Szechuan food. We got the lo mein, fried rice, hot and sour soup, General Tso's and egg drop soup with wontons. Everything was yummy and hit the spot except the egg group soup, which was too cornstarchy and just not that flavorful. This place is a staple and definitely a go to if you are craving old school Chinese food. read more

Good place. Good food. Good service. Solid place for Chinese food. Go here at least 1x a month

Awful and overpriced - hands down the worst Chinese food we've ever had. The sesame beef was tough and inedible - barely half a takeout containers worth of beef for $18 is a total rip off as it is. Egg rolls and scallion pancakes tasted like they were cooked in rancid oil. Lo Mein noodles were like mush and tasted awful. Essentially everything we ordered was terrible and we threw the entire meal out - $70 down the drain read more

Mid. Got chicken and broccoli and it was 2/3rds broccoli. Chicken was not flavorful. I also got a shrimp eggroll which was also not very good. Not really any good Chinese food in this area unfortunately. read more

The food is great and authenticity Chinese. The take out in the weekends though does take a long time

I would give this place 5 stars for food. It's real authentic and you can tell that they know the dishes super well. This is the go to takeout place for my Chinese parents and we also come out to dine in every so often as well. I do want to note that they have different menus for chinese and American customers as the tastes and preferences are different. Some things are special to the Chinese menu but that's only in Chinese. But I would give it a 3 for service. The day we went in on a Sunday dinner there was only one waitress waiting on like 7 tables so she was obviously very busy and couldn't help us right away. Overall it's a great authentic Chinese option if you're in the mood! read more

DELICIOUS! i found this restaurant by surprise and let me tell you if you are a SZECHUAN style food fan this is the right spot everything was really tasty. I really recommend their cryspy chicken with garlic and the Szechuan wonton they were amazing. we tried the SZECHUAN lamb and it was very tender and with such a good flavor. Their service was really good and they serve you a free appetizer if you dine in. Please go here you will enjoy it. read more

We loved this little gem hidden in a strip mall. We were visiting a friend in town and craving for Chinese food. We thought Szechuan Delight was just a typical Americanized Chinese restaurant we just ordered 3 simple dishes. However, the quality of the foods surprised us. The shredded beef will hot pepper & dry bean curd was among the best we've had. We loved the Seafood pan fried noodles too. Don't be fooled by the American Chinese dishes on the menu, the restaurant is authentic Chinese. And the price is very reasonable. We will definitely visit again if we have a chance read more

We were pleasantly surprised by this place. Looking in from the outside it seems "tired" and worn but if you look past the appearance the food is really delicious. We enjoyed their fried wontons, shrimp and veggies and lomain. read more

When they got the order right, it's okay. They messed up twice of our take out orders. First time is the spring roles. We ordered Shanghai spring role and got the regular spring role. No big deal. This time, we ordered seafood and tofu casserole. When we took it out at home, it's some kind of deep fried stuff. I could not even tell what are they and threw it in the garbage. read more

The wonton soup was INEDIBLE. I called the restaurant last night (2/10/22) to tell them. The mai fun was okay. I will never go here again. The "meat" inside of the wontons tasted like roadkill The reviews praising this eatery are from 8 years ago. Maybe 8 years ago it was better. this place STUNK (PS) I live in Bernards Twp, not New Providence read more

Good Chinese for the money. This restaurant reminds me of the one in "A Christmas Story". Big and Empty...but then again we came in for an early dinner in the middle of the week. Egg drop soup - perfectly made with swirley egg drop. Chow mein special - loaded with all the goodies like shrimp, chicken, snow peas, carrots, bell peppers. All tossed in a hot wok, I am sure. Shrimp in Black bean sauce - This is one Chinese staple I cannot live without. Black bean sauce is just the bomb. It has big flavor for such a little bean. WIth lotsa bell peppers and onions. All this tasted great with brown rice. Jasmine tea Good food for cold weather. read more

Delish favorite is crispy beef and egg rolls and the boneless spare ribs are awesome tooo

We called in a large order and were told to be there in 45 minutes. Once we arrived, we had to wait a full HOUR AND 15 MINUTES for our meal. No one seemed to care how long we were waiting. In other places, we would at least be served some tea while waiting. The meal itself was incredibly disappointing - bland, tasteless. We will not be back. read more

My favorite Chinese restaurant! I've been going here since I was a kid in the 90s. I live in LA now and always make sure to go back when I'm in town. The Cold Sesame Noodles are my absolute favorite of all time. read more

This is my 2nd time eating here, but my first dine in experience. We were greeting nicely upon entrance, but that's where the customer service ended. We were seated immediately, once we placed our orders which included a Diet Coke & regular Coke, the waiter brought out the 2 sodas with glasses. My glass was absolutely filthy, it was obvious to the naked eye, so why the waiter thought it was ok to place that glass on the table is beyond me (see photo). Our server was not friendly or attentive, he never came back to check on us; as a matter of fact, we had to hunt him down for the check. As for the food, it ranged from substandard to mediocre. I had the Singapore Mei Fun with no pork, what was suppose to be chicken was rubbery and chewy and did not taste like chicken (I don't want to know the truth because I can't handle the truth!) This was the worse Singapore Mei Fun that I've ever had in my life thus far.Jessica ordered the dumplings which she described as mediocre and the chicken and broccoli which we both agreed was mediocre. Would I go back "Absolutely Not!" This visit gets 2 thumbs down & 2 stars for the obvious and the fact that it's a sit down Chinese restaurant. read more

Poor service, food was barely fair but the price led me to the review, I picked up the order and the order somewhat demanded a tip along with a fee for the Credit Card, I did bypass the tip option but then after checking out there was a FEE- a fee for what, I was just charged a credit card fee of 3% that was fine but a fee for processing... sorry that's not except able. I will not use this service again. And to justify my actions, I did use this restaurant in the past and was not happy with every aspect of it's business. Save yourself a trip. read more

Our family loves to go out to eat...it's quality family time for us. My Mom and I especially love to try new places and we have been looking for a nice Chinese restaurant. We tried this place yesterday and I can't say enough positive comments about it. It's comfortable and our service was perfect. I have never seen a more comprehensive menu! They literally have everything! I don't eat meat, and I had so many delicious-looking options. I ended up with General Tso's tofu and broccoli with garlic sauce. I also took home tofu and vegetable soup. The servings were generous and reasonably priced. Best of all, it was the best Chinese food I ever remember eating. We will definitely be returning and I highly recommend this restaurant to all. read more

I've ordered the same dish here for years and last week that same dish was disappointing. The dish calls for shrimp and noodles. What was incredibly missing was shrimp! I literally counted 4 shrimp in the dish with noodles. I know things are expensive now but really? read more

4 stars *only for the food*. They have pretty authentic Shanghainese food (owner is from Shanghai, go figure :) We almost always order the fried wonton and scallion noodles: they bring back childhood memories for Shanghainese people! The owner would periodically introduce new dishes, but you have to get the special Chinese menu (not even the standard Chinese menu, the one-page plastic-sealed menu) to order. I'm sure this would be a problem for non-Chinese speaking customers... so bring a Chinese friend :) Now comes the sad part: their customer service is almost non-existent. We have been coming to this restaurants for years, and have met only one (out of five) waiter that cares about the customers. Most of the time, the waiters/waitresses are nowhere to be found. Our waiter tonight was quite typical: he would hide in the food preparation area behind the pillars, and only appear when a new dish comes out. Forget about getting a glass of water, or extra utensils. We have learned to help ourselves... The best part about our dinner tonight was when the waiter waved to me to take my own two dishes to my table. Yes you read that right: he asked me to serve the dishes to my own table, by myself! It's a shame their standard of service does not amount remotely close to that of the food. The owner is actually a really nice person. But I believe she spends too much time in the kitchen, and couldn't help with the service even if she wanted to. read more

Just not good. We had egg drop soup - Not enough salt in the ocean to give it flavor. Chicken and eggplant - shredded chicken and soggy eggplant. Scallops with snow peas and straw mushrooms- scallops were definitely not fresh and there were maybe 4 mushrooms. Not a lot of good Asian options in the are but this is the not the one to go to. read more

Kale/pork pan fried dumplings!!!! Just terrific!! My heart has such a soft spot for this restaurant and the owner & staff. The owner is phenomenal - caring & personable and makes the most delicious kale & pork pan fried dumplings. We had my dads 81st birthday here as my parents don't feel like they've properly eaten unless they've have decent chinese food ;) but more so my dad was recovering from heart surgery and they were able to accommodate us and give him special low sodium heart friendly dishes. Parents are regulars here as the cardiac rehab right across the street. How convenient! Grateful for their kindness and service!! Great family place. Am a loyal fan!! read more

Ordered fried dough, soy milk, garlic salt shrimp, potato fries with meat, and beef flat noodles. They also have an online menu but our waiter was confused af since the menu is usually 1) larger portions 2) more expensive 3) suited for dinners and not lunch. Noodles were good, but it's easy to make great flat noodles. Shrimp was very crispy and the seasoning was pervasive throughout the meat. Ok potatoes were wtf, I could have cut thinner slices. No taste either. Dough was good. Giving this 4 stars but I think this could easily fall to 3 stars if I picked a couple more random dishes. read more

I ordered cold sesame noodles to go. I was so upset the way they packed the order. All the source was leaking from the paper box!! (Suppose be a plastic container), and the brown paper bag was broken apart too. And there is no plastic bag either... what a nightmare!!! You can imagine the mess in my car! Seriously please train your staff with proper training and common sense! read more

Szechuan Delight - What a disaster and mess with this poor packing! - Chinese Near Me - New Providence, New Jersey

So i came here spontaneously because my friend needed a plus one for her fencing gathering and i was glad i came. The parking lot is huge so it's not hard to find parking, and the restaurant is pretty big for big parties. The only thing is that it kind of looks like the chinese version of an american diner. Not classy or special in anyway, definitely a casual place. Anyways, we were a table of 10, sat a round table with a lazy sally in the middle. We were given hot and cold water as we sat down and slowly throughout the dinner we got food. We started off with wonton chips with the sauce (absolutely addicting), then got kebabs (beef was sooo good-didn't get to try the chicken because there was only 5 of each), then the fried spring rolls (be careful, it's VERY hot), then we got the soup (too much cilantro for my taste) but overall pretty good, and then after ALL of this, we got a bunch of main course dishes. I don't remember exactly what the order of the dishes were; however we got a lot of the main dishes: lo mein, spinach, lobster, shrimp, chicken, beef, and rice. All pretty good, nothing to complain about, and then for dessert we got ice cream and fortune cookies. Overall the total was only $20 per person and we were all pretty stuffed (even got to take home leftovers). This place got three stars not because the food or service was bad, but just because everything okay. I believe that this place is doing just "standard"-the norm. It's exactly what the three stars are: okay. If you wish to come, do so, if not, up to you! read more

Best Chinese takeout in NP/BH according to my Chinese friends- although there is a separate menu which I wish I know how to order. Crispy beef, garlic eggplant, chicken & broccoli in garlic sauce, pan fried pork dumplings are out go to. Excellent wonton and sweet and sour soup. It is also a nice spot for lunch as well. Better than Fan Bistro - you won't be disappointed- worth a try. read more

I discovered this place in a strip mall where I usually shop for my fresh produce. I figured I would give it a chance since it's really convenient for my weekly shopping. I got something simple - house special lo mein. It's on the expensive side for lo mein, but I don't mind paying a bit more for better quality. Unfortunately, this was mediocre at best. In fact, considering that there was basically a huge container of noodles with VERY LITTLE meat or shrimp mixed in, it was a HUGE disappointment. I specifically paid more for the "house special", but barely even noticed the few tiny shrimp and the small pieces of almost indistinguishable skinny tidbits of meat. There was not even the usual veggies mixed in. Why is it so difficult to find decent chinese food in these areas? There are so many other places to get mediocre chinese food - much cheaper than this place - I won't be back. read more

Went here for lunch a few days ago. Service is bad like they always are at Chinese lunch spots. They are looking to rush you out. Food comes out in a jiffy which is the hook for a quick lunch. Food wasn't that bad. Had the steamed chicken and broccoli (went healthy for like a day...) with brown rice. Came with wonton soup (not so healthy). Order took about 10 mins to get, 8 minutes to eat and 30 seconds to pay as the waiter stands around you as you are eating your last grain of rice. They have good lunch prices as well. Worth a stop in for lunch. ENJOY! read more

During this global pandemic this wonderful restaurant decided to drop off lunch to my job at Wells Fargo in New Providence NJ. With the kindness of their heart they have came more than once to make sure we are taken care of. It is businesses like these who keep the town running and satisfy hunger especially for Chinese food! And during this pandemic it is nice to know essential employees like ourselves are being recognized. I highly recommend this place not only because the food is Delicious!!! but also because the people who prepare it are filled with such kindness and are just great down to earth people. Xie Xie Lynn and staff! read more

Good Chinese food, not the best (compared to nyc) but definitely above average for the area. I have been here a couple of times. The price is ok and the portions for the meat dishes are pretty decent sized. They get pretty good business which ensures fresher food. I have had ribs with peking sauce here as well as salt and pepper ribs. The flavor was good for both though it seemed there was a bit too much batter around the meat. The crispy pan fried beef noodles had a delicious, fresh taste though the portion was a touch small. The food is served quite fast after you order. The service is not the most attentive (both times I went our waiter never checked on us after we received our food) but when we did interact they were pleasant enough. My impression was that the menu is a bit more limited here compared to Jade Isle in Scotch Plains but the food here tasted fresher than at Jade. read more

We come here any time we have a special occasion and want something a little special. Their seafood is great - very fresh and lots of preparation options. They also serve several different varieties of Chinese vegetables, not just the standard "American" stuff like broccoli and snow peas. I highly recommend the Mongolian beef (it's fun to listen to the sizzle as they prepare it tableside) as well as the steamed sea bass. We've never been disappointed with either of these dishes, and we have had them dozens of times over the years. read more

No problem with this place. Fast and hot pickup order. Fair prices. Just wasn't thrilled with all the food we ordered. Here's my grading: Steamed pork dumplings: B+ Egg drop soup: B- Hot and Sour soup: C Chicken and broccoli; B- Maybe will try again. Nice people. Good and clean restaurant. read more

Wow! Szechuan Delight is a real paradox. I had lunch there Friday and it was great. But I just had dinner take out from there tonight, a Monday, and the food was terrible and way over salted. I suspect the better chef who was working last Friday was not working tonight. It appears a woman that works there who is also a cashier may do double duty as chef when the competent chefs are not available to work. I'm led to believe this by the inconsistency of the food quality. Because if this inconsistency I'm giving this restaurant a 1 star rating. If the better chef was always there I'd give it 5 stars. Since I can't determine which chef will prepare my food I'm opting to avoid this restaurant or rarely patronize it. A real shame since when it's good it's great! But alternatively when it's bad it's real real bad! Also, just so you'll know, regardless of which chef is on duty the soups here are very poor. So beware! I'm leaning towards avoiding this restaurant altogether! read more
