The other night, knowing they closed at 9:30, they wouldn't take me for a dine-in at around 8:55 p.m. The owner was also annoyed and rude about it, which was surprising. I ended up doing take out as suggested by her, but regret giving her the business. She knows that I would have been in and out, and always tip well. I would have appreciated better service as a regular customer. Not returning for a while now. read more

This place has reliably fed my family for over a decade now, we go a little further because we don't like any of the Chinese takeout in my town. Their menu is a little too big, stick to the Chinese menu. Great customer service as well. They have my favorite chicken wings around! read more

Back again for takeout lunch! Prices have gone up a little, not as much as other places. Food is still decent, with a nice varity of Asian cuisines. Lunch specials come with a tasty egg roll! Will be back again for sure! read more

Good Chinese eat in and take-out is a rarity in Wayne, but Tommy Cheng's is one of the few exceptions. Tucked away in a little strip mall near Kohl's on Route 23, the interior is dated but cozy, table service is fast, and everything is prepared & served quickly. Beef, chicken & pork dishes are always delicious and small plate appetizers very tasty. Really good food & reasonable prices make this a real gem when you need to satisfy your Chinese food cravings. read more

Good bento combo, a little of everything... you want the pupu platter for 1? That's what you order. Soup was Japanese tofu or something else i didnt like, but otherwise very good meal. read more

Delivery was super fast. BEST crab rangoon I have ever had ! Egg roll was also delicious. General Tso chicken, amazing, so why only 4 stars ? The fried rice... Yellow rice w bean sprouts IS NOT fried rice, and I am a huge fried rice fan, so that was disappointing.. But overall, pretty darn good food read more

Food is ok. They have a large variety of Chinese, and Japanese including sushi. In my experience the Japanese is better than the Chinese.

What a nice surprise...Checking my morning emails, I saw a Groupon for this Asian BYOB, located right near evening shopping and errands. I checked out some reviews and decided it was worth giving a try...So glad we did :) It's warm contemporary decor was nice, and at 6:30, better than half the restaurant was seated...It holds about 20 tables or so. It took a few minutes to be seated, since the hostess took the take out orders and helped clear tables, and there were only two waitresses working the floor...which meant service was a little rough, but totally tolerable. We shared some hand rolls to start and collectively gave them a "B"...the nori it was wrapped with was a little dry and chewy. For our meals, we figured a standard general's chicken is always a good gauge of this sort of restaurant and it's my 9 yr old's favorite. Love that we could request white meat only...Between that, the preparation and an awesome sauce, it was a winner :) We had it with brown rice for the extra charge and got a side of lo mien, which was also cooked perfectly, and not greasy at all. My husband ordered the beef and scallops in a brown sauce, and thoroughly enjoyed himself as well. I tasted it, and was impressed with the balanced flavors of the sauce, and the tenderness of the beef. We skipped on dessert because there wasn't much to choose from, and close to home, we have a hard time making sense of paying $4.50 for a couple of scoops of ice cream ;) By the time we left there was a wait about 4 tables deep. It's worth checking out if you're local, for sure. It's decor and quality is nice, but it may be a little too loud for a date. Note to Business: Dimming the lights a bit and putting some votives out would be a good add, because it helps to soften the ambiance when the place has that much volume... :) read more

Bought a groupon to try this place out. Small inside, waitresses didn't speak much English but food was decent. We tried the shrimp tempura which only came with 2 pieces and 3 tempura veggies. Would have liked to have a couple more shrimp. We had to ask for noodles and duck sauce, guess they are just not brought to the table. For our entrees I had the pan fried noodles with chicken,shrimp and beef. It was very tasty. Also came with a side of white rice. My husband got the steak and chicken hibachi dinner which came with soup, salad and white rice. He said it was average. As an Fyi they do not give you free refills on drinks. Also there was a yelp check in offer so we will be back to try some other menu items and use the discount. read more

Tommy Cheng's Asian Cuisine - Pan fried noodles with chicken, beef and shrimp - Asian Fusion Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

What struck us first, is the clean, modern, almost minimalist lines of what seems to be a "hole in the wall" type eatery. It's spacious, with shades of gray, nice tile, and comfortable seating. I began with a two roll sushi platter $8.75, the lunch special. I even had the Singapore Mei fun, which was absolutely delicious. It was just spicy enough, and there were hardly any traces of oil left on the plate. The noodles were perfectly done, and there was plenty of shrimp to enjoy. I recommend this place, for lunch or dinner, and they also present a nice variety of Japanese and Thai foods. The only draw back, is that their service is a little bit under par, but in this case, because the food is so good, I can let it slide. read more

Let me preface by saying.....the FOOD is on point. Always fresh,perfectly sauced, great portions and great prices. I have had a number of different veggie dishes when we get it delivered to my job and all of us that work there agree this is our favorite food wise. The reason I am not giving it 4 stars is the service. It's just plain awful. I never had a problem with the delivery man but when I went to the actual restaurant it was awful. Not a pleasant group at all. I will be sticking with their delivery instead of going in read more

I've ordered mostly take out here and love the pineapple 5 Hai rice with brown and purple rice cashews and veggies. It's full of wholesome goodness and flavor. I also dined in and will say the service isn't so speedy,but the food is great! It's my go to local take spot. I'd recommend it to everyone! read more

Delicious pad Thai (I ordered beef for delivery the day before and my mom had the shrimp when we went there) me, my mom, and the kids enjoyed dining here. It wasn't packed and the place was big. We started off with the lobster sushi then my son ordered the fried chicken wings and he finish the whole plate with steamed rice. Big servings (we didn't finish everything except for the sushi and chicken) and they were all good. The crew were nice and friendly. read more

The food is consistently good. Never exceptional, but I have never had a bad meal from Tommy Cheng's. Placed an order from the yelp app, so it went through GrubHub and was ready on time, and an easy pick up. read more

They do an excellent job with tofu dishes! I love tofu and have tried from many other Chinese restaurants in the area, Tommy Cheng's does it best! Veggies are fresh, nice atmosphere inside and fast take out as well. read more

Pretty decent food! My friends and I were visiting from out of town, and this was one of the restaurants near our hotel. The restaurant is small, but very quiet and not crowded. Our table of 5 was seated comfortably at a round booth in the corner. I ordered a Spicy Tuna Roll and the Sashimi Regular [which came with soup and salad]. All of the food was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. My friend ordered a "Sushi Sandwich" appetizer, which I wish I ordered. The flavor combinations were great, and the dish was unlike anything I could get at home. It was kind of like a flat sushi roll cut into quarters. Sounds weird, but the layers of fish, veggies, and sauce made it delicious. My sashimi and spicy tuna were great, I have no complaints. I noticed that there are Chinese and Thai entrees along with the Japanese entrees; I can't speak for those, but I had a great experience with my sushi entrees. Overall, good food, nice staff, would definitely visit again if I came back through town. read more

Food is decent but I have never been more insulted in my life. The guy delivered the food and then proceeded to criticize how much I was tipping... which by the way was the tip amount preset on seamless. I am not stingy and I don't appreciate being called cheap. It was extremely rude and unprofessional. I will never order from there again. read more

I've never written a poor review, or any review for that matter, but this place is atrocious. I bought 3 sushi rolls, two of which were absolutely rotten (I instantly spit one up when I mistakenly tried to eat it). When I went to get my money back and return the rolls, they gave me a hard time. The woman sarcastically said "really?" when I said this could get someone sick. No apology or anything. After walking out I realized they didn't even give me my full money back but it wasn't worth the hassle to go back in. DO NOT GO HERE read more

The service is quick and friendly. The place has great ambiance and is good for groups. The food is well presented and relatively decent.

If i could rate it zero stars i would. The service eating in the restaurant may be the worst experience i have ever encountered. The take out food is typical Chinese. Good quality for take out. It DO NOT EVER eat at the restaurant!!!!!! You have been warned read more

The definition of miserable is the wife of the owner. The husband, owner is a great guy and tries hard. The food has always been decent but if the wife leaves she would do a lot for this business. She doesn't want to be there and every inch of this woman exudes this. She needs to be trained in being a business owner, becoming a happier person; cracking a smile and welcoming people into her restaurant would do a lot! Get with the program! read more

Remember that time you ordered delivery and it came 105 minutes later...wrong...?!? Well that just happened, and let me tell you, they didn't seem to apologetic. When the food was finally delivered, the order was incorrect and below average at best. Do yourself a favor, save the food poisoning and order from a more reputable place. See you soon chilton. read more

I have to start off by saying I hate leaving bad reviews but this place is just wasting your money. First they dont have the help they need so somebody may be in front to help or may not. I got sushi which had stale rice and just tasted horrible. I also got pad Thai and it was just dry and no flavor. I have been here before but the place went downhill. read more

OMG...where do I begin....I had to get this all down while it was still fresh in my mind bc its too unbelievable to make up. Let's start with the reservation...I made it for 7:00 pm and we arrived at 6:45 pm. When we got there, there were 2 frustrated customers that had a 6:30 pm reservation and were still waiting for their table. My husband and I were seated around 7:30 pm and the 2 people before us were only seated about 10 mins before us. I should have known something was up when the receptionist hung up on me after I made the reservation. We left at 9:15 pm. While we were sitting there, it the place was extremely hot. I noticed the thermostat was set for 78 degrees. That is hot considering that it was 92 degrees out. I told the greeter that it was hot and she said she would call someone to adjust it. When she called out the guy (I'm assuming the manager) he yelled something at her in chinese with a hand gesture. He never adjusted the thermostat. I ordered the sushi, which was a big mistake. I should have known something was up when I saw people sending back the sushi. I ordered 2 sushi rolls which were horrible. They both had stale shrimp tempura! I have never had stale tempura in any roll at any sushi place I have been to. I never send back food, but I had to. It was just inedible. Also, my rolls were sitting at the sushi bar for at least 30 mins before they were brought over to me. If I would have known those were mine, I would have gotten up and picked them up myself. Which reminds me...there were various people that got up from their tables and grabbed their own utensils, plates, napkins, etc. We sat there without menus for a good 10 mins. We also ordered korean fried calamari as an appetizer. It ended up coming at the same time as the sushi (30 mins after it was ready). The calamari was cold and stale also. I even asked the waitress if we were getting the calamari first and she said yes. It was supposed to be an appetizer so it's supposed to come first. I ended up ordering the shrimp with lobster sauce which was good. I have nothing to compare it to since I have never ordered that dish anywhere. My husband said the white rice was gross, but he still ate all of it. The only thing they know how to cook here is the typical chinese take out food. Everything else is gross. The table beside us ordered some type of curry which they didn't touch and a platter of sushi. I'm guessing their experience was just as bad as ours bc they kept shaking their heads also. Their sushi platter was done at the same time as my order and sat at the sushi chef's counter for 45 -60 mins. Completely horrendous! I also ordered shrimp shumai which was overcooked. It's pretty hard to get that wrong...take them out of the freezer and steam them. We both ordered dessert in order to spend $50 to use a Groupon we had. I had the red bean ice cream which was good bc they didn't make it. My husband had the fried banana with one scoop of vanilla ice cream. This is the worst fried banana I have ever seen. I was expecting a banana wrapped in come sort of spring roll wrapper and fried. What he got was one whole banana sliced, dipped in tempura batter and fried. It looked totally gross. In summary, this has to be the worst dining experience I have ever had. Groupon should not allow them to have another sale of coupons. I had mixed feelings about buying this groupon because the reviews were so mixed. It was a complete waste of money. The service was horrible. The waitress almost elbowed me in the face when she was cleaning our table. There was a table with 15 people that completely cause chaos tonight because these workers were running around like chickens with their heads cut off. The obviously did not know how to handle crowded restaurant and they should not put customers through this experience again. This place should shut down immediately. read more

First time we went on a Sunday for lunch and it was excellent. It wasn't busy that day (3 tables of customers)We had a variety of chinese appetizers and entrees as well as sushi. Everything was good. The server was tentative. Food came in a goid flow. Went back for dinner on Valentine's Day and went down hill. Yes they were busy and the servers were visibly overwelmed. Our meals all came at different times, the server's thumb was IN the soup!! Ugg! Took her forever to refill our drinks..Food were okay. Don't know if we will go back. read more

Honestly, Ive only had the sushi there. But I hate the weird smell when you walk in. The waitress is totally unprofessional interrupting and leaning over you instead of walking aroudn the table to set things down where there is a clear space. The fish was fishy and thats not attractive when you're eating sushi. You definitely dont want your food to smell, then all they said was they dont know why it smells.. Not the best at handling those situations so i had to ask if i could change it. When it hasnt been smelly, it has just been ok. I've had better sushi for that price.. read more

Horrible. The worst Chinese food I've ever had. Garlic chicken, and general tso. Bland, flavorless, and just plain awful! read more

Pretty good. Like that you can get Chinese or Japanese food here. Bento box is good. Wonton soup is good. Lo Mein is good. Sushi is good. Service could be better, which is why it's 4 stars. Improve service and could be five stars. read more

As someone who is well versed in authentic cuisine... has had some of the best sushi in Japan and in the US... I'm not going to lie and say this is "great" sushi. There are different classes of sushi in my opinion, and I always preface my reviews whenever I make them for restaurants like these. There are ridiculously expensive but premium quality fish that you find at places like Morimoto or little hole in the walls that have been Japanese-run for years and go to buy fish fresh from the boat on a daily basis. Then there's a step below that... one's that don't necessarily value the art of sushi as much as they do high quality, gourmet cuisine. Then a more than a few steps below that are restaurants like Tommy Cheng's. The fish was fresh. It wasn't the most amazing quality, but it tasted good and was clean. Considering I had gotten back to my hotel late, having such a fast and speedy delivery to my room was a nice plus. I ordered a Orange Dragon Roll and a Wayne Roll... which were obviously non-traditional dishes but nonetheless tasted rather good. For an Asian fusion take out and delivery service, this place does a rather fine job in my opinion. It gets four stars for doing what it does and doing it well. read more

I ordered the egg drop soup, sesame chicken with fried rice and crab Rangoon. It was delicious! I am a serious foodie and love Asian cuisines. I am honestly not sure at all why it's rated only 3 stars. It was amazing and I'll order from this place again for sure. read more

Nice little place. But it is middle of nowhere, nothing is around except Kohls and I would not seen it, if it was not for my GPS and Groupon. The portion is great. Vegetables and meats are fresh. I had my wife and her mother with me. They really enjoyed it. We ordered Satay Chicken, Happy Family, Three Stars, General Chou Chicken and finished off with Mochi Ice Cream and Fried Ice Cream. Overall very satisfied customer. We have plenty of food to take home. I had no dish that I did not like. Small place and not too many customers so that service was top notch. I strongly recommend this place. I wish it was in our neighborhood, if it was we would have been they regular customer. read more

I always find it charming to have disinterested people working in restaurants. Here at Tommy Cheng's, that "people" is always one person. You guessed it, the disinterested waiter is also the disinterested person at the front register handing out the take out, he's also the guy helping his kid, brought quite often to work, to download an app or play music loudly from his Phone. Don't worry, he didn't make his kid feel welcome either! When we pay to sit down and eat, it's not pleasant to have Mr. No Smiles tell you, no, we don't have the first four common things we try to order to drink. On to the food. The dark blue suede from my '79 Puma Clydes was wayy easier to chew on and stomach than the incisor impenetrable black colored "sea weed" surrounding our many rolls we ordered. It was like chewing on a fantastic bit of black nylon to get through to my fake crab meat. The second half of our oder (intended) was brought as an after thought to our meal at check time. Yup..out came our food cold and tasteless and dry disguised as a ten dollar order of rice distastefully plotzed on our table long after we were done hacking away on the plastic seaweed. It was fifty cents worth of food. A handful of hard cold uncooked "red and brown" rice with 2 tiny shards of broccoli and a thimble full of peas. If I wanted to win a miniature sand castle construction contest with these ingredients, now would be the time. At dinner time you should RUN from a restaurant with only one other table in it..but the glutton for food torture I obviously am, I stayed and promised my guests a better choice next time! Take the tip... Tommy Cheng's has gone the way of "wrong order Tommy's" in Franklin Lakes. read more

We stopped in to dine in and we were the only people there. And no wonder as we had terrible service. We sat for at least 15 minutes and no one took our order. The servers were too busy dealing with take out orders. The sushi chef ignored us as we tried to find our server. Obviously, the owner wasn't there that night. The staff didn't appear to care when we walked out without placing an order. It is a shame because I have eaten here in the past and the food and service were pretty good. This was disappointing. read more

We were there a couple of months ago. I got there ahead of my wife and told them I would order when she arrived. She arrived and, after 15 minutes with nobody paying us any mind, we left. Tonight I called for takeout and was put on hold for three minutes. The food is good, but service is TERRIBLE. read more

I usually have a great experience from their food. Until today. You'd think if your closed on a hilday that you wouldn't allow Yelp orders to go through. So I put my order through and waited...and waited...and waited. Finally I called, twice. No answer. So I decided they must be closed. It's 12:35am no food still and I ordered at 7:57ish. Next time if you're gonna he closed inform your customers. I am a restaurant worker too and we always have holiday hours posted online and in store as well as on phone. We don't just go missing for 24hrs. I know it is a holiday but quite a few Chinese places are still open. So if your not you need to make it clear. read more

Reasonably priced Chinese food. Not bad either. They deliver and make the food quickly. They have coupons on the menus. Use them.

Delivery took over an hour and a half. Food didn't seem fresh, sushi tasted warm, seems like it was in the car too long! And to top it all off they gave me three fortune cookies and one had no fortune in it other was cut off and the third on was bad. Worst sushi ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Ordered delivery from here tonight. Food was good. Egg drop soup was nice and thick and you could taste the chicken broth base. Tried both the beef with broccoli and the sesame shrimp. Both were quite good. Also had spring rolls which were greasy, although I'm sure that is because they say for a bit. Would order from here again. read more

Just ok. Nothing special. I got the house special pan fried noodle which comes with... you guessed it, pan fried noodles as well as chicken, beef, shrimp and veggies in a brown sauce. The chicken was ok and the shrimp was ok and actually quite large. The beef however, was absolutely disgusting. I can't even describe what it tasted like. I spit it right out. I'm not sure if I would eat from here again. It's convenient bc it is close and the delivery was fast but I'm not sure the $14.50 for the House Special was worth it quality- wise. read more
