Always great food and great service. They have something for everyone on the menu, and if you're eating there, the booths are comfy and the place is well lit. read more

UJ's Asian Bistro - They use the good pancakes that nobody has anymore! - Chinese Near Me - Hazlet, New Jersey

The food here is excellent! I'm a regular for delivery and there are a few dishes I can't stop ordering - shrimp dumpling soup is delicious, and the shrimp gyoza are absolutely amazing. I literally order them over and over again because they're that good. Delivery is always very quick and reliable. I know I can count on them when I'm craving quality Asian food at home, which is why I keep coming back. I haven't dined in yet, but every time I walk in to pick up an order, the place looks really cute and inviting. I definitely need to sit down and enjoy a meal there one of these days to get the full experience. The only thing I'd mention is that it's slightly more expensive than your typical Asian bistro. But honestly, the food quality makes it worth the extra cost. You're paying for consistently great dishes and reliable service. Highly recommend giving this place a try, especially the ramen, soup dumplings, and shrimp gyoza! read more

I ordered delivery so I cannot comment on ambiance. I can say I'm impressed they still offer delivery direct from the store! The delivery is fast too. I'm just not impressed with the food. It could be so much better. read more

I discovered this place during the pandemic and absolutely fell in love with it. Their food is consistently amazing, no matter what you order. I've always been satisfied whether I've ordered sushi, Chinese food, or even the boba tea. I highly recommend this place. Although I haven't dined in before, I love the ambiance. read more

The food was good quality but the terriya shrimp was overcooked & the tempura cheesecake was not crispy & was literally hard to bite into it. Most places yield 8 pieces of sushi roll but they only give 6 pieces. The food is good when not overcooked & the portions are quite small for the price they charge. read more

delicious and large portions. I ordered lunch special 2 rolls and the amount of salmon and eel in each roll was large all for lunch special price. I added ocean roll and attached pic! huge and delicious! read more

The food is of great variety, high quality and delicious. The service is superb (responsive and efficient). The atmosphere and settings inside (recently remodeled again) are pleasant. read more

So, I didn't order here today - but I have ordered from there since my last review (I still have not ordered delivery). The food is still delicious, although the General Tso's was a bit greasy last time - it was still good. I just wish fortune cookies were free (although 60 cents for four of them isn't bad). I recommend the Tatsuta Age and the Hibachi Fried Rice - they give enough for you to have two meals! read more

We've been ordering here forever and the food has never disappointed! Everything off of their menu always come out so nicely, and service is fast and polite I miss when you could eat inside, it was always clean and really well decorated! Will for sure be eating here for years to come :) read more

I found UJ's when looking for new takeout spots and it is awesome! It may even be my favorite Chinese/Japanese restaurant at the moment. I usually steer clear of Asian fusion but UJ's really succeeds in both the Chinese and Japanese food realms. My favorites are the vegetable udon soup, salad (the ginger dressing is BOMB!) and sesame tofu. Also, the red bean bubble tea makes me a happy camper. It's great for ordering with groups because there is something for everyone. None of the food felt overly greasy or heavy which is so refreshing! read more

I have been dining in and out with UJs for over a decade. The food never disappoints, and is the best around town! More than the food, the family and team that work there are always more than happy to help with any questions or concerns. Thank you for all you do and cheers to another decade of delicious read more

Love them! I haven't eaten at the restaurant yet but have ordered delivery many times. Their rainbow Naruto rolls are amazing, as is the miso soup, and today I tried their pork buns. Amazing! It's also really hard to find pork buns in this area. read more

So I have ordered chow menu twice and received chop suey bean sprout crap both times. Idk what's going on. MEIN MEANS NOODLES HOW IS MY DISH BEING MADE WITHOUT THEM? I have no complaints about anything that I ordered that I wanted. But got dang it it is so frustrating to not get what you order, specifically for a STAPLE Chinese food. This is like somehow messing up fried rice. Seriously, this place has good food, and has great COVID precautions. Please just... stop not putting noodles in my mein dishes read more

Glad we tried it, will be our go to for Chinese food from now on. Everything had great flavor. Give them a shot! General tso , chicken chow mein, spare rib tips and wonton soup. ** We ordered on Saturday night, delivery did take almost an hour to Port Monmouth. Food was packaged nicely and hot when it arrived. They also provided ample sauces and two packages of crunchy noodles. read more

This restaurant will please your taste buds. I've ordered and had family over. All unanimously say that UJ's has a great menu and they enjoyed their meals. They have pick/up, delivery or enjoy their comfortable dining room. You may never go back to your previous Chinese take out. read more

Generally, it is acceptable. Definitely was a lot better when they first opened. There is a notable difference in the food quality based on what day of the week you order. Weekend usually best. read more

Not sure why the ratings are so favorable. Supermarket sushi and back-lit menu takeout Chinese food taste, plus decor. Chicken and Chinese vegetables, standard not salty, not sweet brown sauce. The combo came with pork fried rice (kind of orange colored?) and an egg roll that was pretty tasteless. Tuna roll was mall-level sushi, pink but no taste. I ate it because I was hungry. read more

Love this place! Food is always on point! Will return again and again :) Extremely happy held strong during pandemic.

Sushi and Chinese, add some bubble tea and I've just blown my takeout bag. This place is amazing! Plus I'm an uncle jon myself.

We've been on a search for great bubble tea since we moved about 6 months ago. We thought *maybe* we found it, but the flavor was a bit weak and it tasted like more creamer than tea. I ordered the red bean and what I received was a black milk tea with a scoop of actual red beans in it. A few were mushed up. Every time I took a sip I ended up with weak tea, bean grit, and actual beans, along with the boba. It was gross, and we threw it away. Also ordered sushi which was decent. We did notice a woman in the back not wearing a mask. So all in all, meh. We won't be back. Oh well, the search continues. read more

I've been trying for about 10 years to find a good Chinese restaurant. Based on reviews I ordered from UJ. I got the wonton egg drop mixed soup which was pretty good, fried pork dumplings also pretty good. Disappointment can when we got to the main dishes. We ordered sizzling beef & scallops and subgum wonton dishes. Both dishes had lots of meat and veggies but they were both submerged in brown liquid. This was not a nice flavorful sauce but more of brown water. There also no flavor to either dish. The Subgum Wonton was described as having fried won tons but they were submerged in the liquid and waterlogged. I thought they were chunks of chicken like you get in sesame chicken. Sorry, not going back and if it wasn't for the tasty soup this place would get 1 star read more

Food was ok but none of the cooks we wearing masks. I won't be ordering from them again during the pandemic which is unfortunate since there aren't many good Chinese places around. read more

We were so pleased to find this charming little restaurant. The service was friendly and helpful. The food was delicious especially the wonton soup, dumplings, and pork buns. read more

UJ's Asian Bistro - Pork dumplings - Chinese Near Me - Hazlet, New Jersey

Food cold and burnt to a crisp beef on a stick, had to go back for a refund and the cashier didn't want to, she would only refund half. Very poor customer service. Instead of giving me the remaining $10 she has lost a repeat customer. I would have never put those burnt wings and beef in the box. I will not ever order there again. The job of a cashier is to please the customer not to make a bad situation worse. read more

A very nicely decorated, family-run restaurant offering healthy and delicious Chinese fare from the various provinces. Their prices are better, that is; lower, than most other places in the area. Their won ton soup is particularly rich and flavorful. Some restaurants' soup barely tastes like chicken. Not so here. It's excellent and very welcome on a cold winter's day. I have eaten here many times, and I have always enjoyed my meal, and it's always served with a smile. Their large menu has all the dishes we have become familiar with; egg foo young, chicken with asparagus, General Tsao's chicken, and authentic big bowl noodle soups - all freshly prepared on premises. Like most New Jersey Chinese restaurants, it's BYOB, which saves you quite a bit, if you want to enjoy wine or beer with your dinner, when compared to the cost of buying alcohol at the restaurant. Big selection, pleasant dare I say chic, atmosphere, and consistently good Asian dishes, all served quickly. This place is headed for greatness...and expansion. read more

Everything we ordered was delicious! Pork dumplings, fried shumai, general tso chicken, spring rolls and sushi. This is now my go to place for Asian. Looking forward to ordering again! read more

Wow! Great surprise on the way home from the beach! Off the path but worth the 4 minute drive from the highway. Excellent decor, service and food. Will not disappoint. Fresh sushi, the best dry string beans and nagamachi. However you spell it! Great find! read more

Food was promt and decent. Probably would've given 4 stars, but the server was completely stand offish, not polite, acted like she didn't want to be there. There was no sugar at the table, no soy sauce, she didn't even notice; I just went and got it myself. There was a group of the staff sitting at the back table and talking, if you hate your job - quit or fake it. read more

Ordered takeout, it cost almost $75, and when I got home, I opened my Chicken and String Bean dinner to find a container of only string beans. When I ordered, I asked for extra chicken, because this had happened before. When I called, the women who claimed she was the manager, was very patronizing and refused to let me speak, often interrupting me with "what do you want" and "well the customer is always right." She also said that the restaurant did nothing wrong, insisted we read the order wrong, and hung up on me. Never will go back, the awful experience with their supposed manager ruined this restaurant. read more

Rolls were decent quality but for the price they were not worth it at all. Also I requested a side of spicy mayo and ponzu sauce on the side and did not receive either one which pretty much ruined my first visit. Even during COVID this business should be able to include all requested materials on an order. Overall, would not go back due to price and poor attention to detail. read more

We discovered this little bistro a couple of months ago and never looked back! We have since ditched our usual Chinese & sushi places (for the most part) and come here every Friday - that is how fantastic the food, staff and atmosphere is! Choose from Chinese, Cantonese, Sushi or mix it up! I think everyone has caught on because delivery takes forever and sometimes there is a wait to sit but it is more than worth it. Best Asian food in the area, hands down. You won't be disappointed. read more

Ordered tonight and NEVER again. Rice is totally brown and no pork. Used to be long grain rice now very small and horrible. Ordered dumpling and got the wrong thing. Boneless spare ribs extremely dry. Called and transferred to 3 different people. Said they couldn't find my order even though they just delivered here. Wth! read more

When you know what you want and have the taste for, there is no substitute. I not only asked for a specific dish, I talked with her about it before placing the order. What was given to me was not only not what I wanted, it wasn't even the same animal. This is the second time they've given me meat that I didn't order, there will not be a third time. I'm done eating here. read more

Today I ordered a large pork fried rice with 2 orders of shrimp which I was up charged. The rice came with little pork and 4 small shrimp. This is the second time I order and was short-changed. What a shame. They made more money on my order by short-changing me but lost money in the long run because I will no longer buy from them. read more

Not a fan. Wish the food tasted as good as looked, it was very average. Won't be going back. I ordered a seafood special - the crab is imitation and the crispy noodles were on the bottom of the dish soaking in sauce, not good! Most dishes were not as described. read more

Pleasantly surprised. Was craving something tasty and decided to try out this place. Ordered three dishes online and it was really easy. Picked up in 15min. Order was correct and tasty. Price was reasonable. Will definitely order from them again. read more

Fried wontons were microwaved, not fried. Not crisp -- but rubber. General Tsao's was not fried -- but microwaved. Rubber, no crispy fried. I didn't even try the $6.25 house hot and sour wonton soup, threw it away with everything else. Cost: $25 -- knowing they won't have an opportunity to disappoint me again -- PRICELESS. If you like microwaved Chinese food -- this is the place for you!!! read more

I freakin love this place! Got one of the best general tsos tofu ever! Was great each time i went :D

UJ's is now part of our regular takeout rotation. We have been very happy with both their Chinese and Japanese menus. Would certainly say give their Cantonese noodle soups a try, they also do a nice job with scallops. read more

I ordered from here twice. Once take out and once delivery. Both times I received calls after placing the order to say they were either out of an item or that they no longer sell it. The menu is misleading or the someone is less than honest. My chow mein arrived with no noodles, so I called UJ's. There was disagreement among the receptionist and other employees (and perhaps the owner) over whether chow mein includes noodles, fried or otherwise. When the manager or owner got on the phone, she vacillated over what the chow mein included. Ultimately, I was basically told tough luck. You should have ordered "lo mein or mei fun." One time the sushi seemed fresh. The other time it was borderline. Really a shame because the place looks nice. read more
