I buy meals here often because thier food is really good for a small no-nonsense restaurant that isnt fancy but there are several Chinese restaurants in Boonton but Wah Yan Kitchen is thee best when it comes to food quality. Today I ordered Chicken Chow Mein and I haven't eaten this in years. Absolutely delicious! I was very hungry, so I just opened the container and started eating. It was so yummy, yet not too gooey or sweet. I did not even have to put any sauces on this! Go here for take out because although they have 2 booths you can eat at this little gem is very busy. I suggest you try this place! Thier wonton soup is delightful too and I am picky about restaurants!! Great food for take out!!! read more

Right on Main Street this low key casual place we enjoy for takeout. Dumplings are always really good as well as noodle dishes and sweet n sour chicken we always like to order. They are very quick when you place your prefer and always very pleasant. There are a few tables inside but we tend to just do takeout. Enjoy read more

A perfectly serviceable, takeout Chinese place. Their wonton egg drop soup is very good, and they make a really good roast pork lo mein. It's not the best takeout I've ever had, but nowhere near the worst. I don't know of any other places in Boonton, but I think you'll like it. read more

I've been coming here for over 10 years. Great local restaurant in Boonton for takeout. They have the best dumplings here! We will come anytime we are in town. I've even brought their food back with me to DC. read more

We've had take-out twice from Wah Yan Kitchen and really enjoyed it. Very good food! We still have more dishes to try and are looking forward to it! read more

I decided to go back a friend said they had new people in their cooking food this place is disgusting I ordered a quart of lo mein how special it was $13.95 and I got an egg roll it came to $17 I could not believe it I took it home and I was very excited to eat it and it was absolutely disgusting it had no flavor it was bland and it hardly had anything in it other than noodle it had some kind of disgusting taste I threw it in the garbage I will never go back there this place is ridiculous on their prices and the quality of the food makes me want to throw up read more

Wah Yan Kitchen - Disgusting house lomein! there's nothing in the taste was horrible. I threw it in the garbage.I will never go back! - Chinese Near Me - Boonton, New Jersey

Update: Friend came over and we ordered a few basics. First of all, we were greeted curtly both on the phone and in person. Dumplings were fine. Fantail shrimp were 90% breading, very heavy. One of them was mushy and the others were crispy. All super doughy. The General Tso's was slightly mushy, that same extra doughy sensation, a few vegetables haphazardly thrown in (raw onions why?). The kicker was how poorly I slept, which is really rare. I'm sensitive to MSG and that's the only conclusion I can reasonably draw here. Tossing the menu; Wah Yan is no longer an option for my guests. They deserve better. read more

This place has become dear to my heart. It makes me feel like home away from home. My husband and I have it at least once a week. By far my favorite Chinese spot in all of New Jersey. Thank you Wah Yan kitchen for being so kind to us and always modifying your dishes to our gluten intolerance. It's rare to find a spot like this. They're food is always freshly made on the spot and so tasty. Definitely enjoying trying all these dishes. Love this spot! read more

See all

Dependable service and quality. Very friendly neighborhood takeout. Can't go wrong with them. Come hell or high water they will deliver within the area. Hardworking family venture - even the kids chip in. Pls support them read more

Consistently great food, fast delivery, and generous portions. The restaurant is always careful with food allergies.

Recently found this gem for Chinese takeout. The owner is always pleasant and the order is always right on the money. Quality is top notch. This has become our go to for Chinese take out. read more

Everything I've had here is quite tasty and prepared very quickly for you! Had the shrimp and mixed vegetables in brown sauce and the shrimp were absolutely wonderful! read more

Quick & delicious! Staff are always patient with my kids' complex orders! Reasonably priced with the amount of food!

It is great for what it is. This falls in the cheap take-out category and I am reading it five stars as such. Much better than competing places in Montville. read more

We love way yan kitchen !!! Chicken wings and pork fried rice! They are always nice and fast to take orders and serve. Gives me my fortune cookie and makes me feel good. read more

This is the ONLY place I will order Chinese food from. Food is unreal & a family favorite. Shrimp spring rolls are a favorite and they also have great options that can be made vegan. Plus they deliver! read more

Been going here for 15 years. great beef and broccoli and fried chicken dumplings.very hard working family that are there every single day. Support local. read more

The outside is pretty dingy. But the food is pretty good - the best in the area definitely. Others are greasy and kinda soggy. The food from here is hot, and literally made fresh in front of you (if you wait for it.) They aren't rude they just don't speak English well. (Like most Asian places) So these people should stop thinking they're being rude, that's just how they do business. read more

The best Chinese place in Boonton. You can get the lunch menu all day. Large portions. The people are very nice and accommodating. It gets delivered very quickly. Really good Chinese food at a really good price. Can't go wrong. read more

Food wasn't bad had lots of flavor. Fried rice was great but the sesame chicken was a little doughy.

This is the our favorite place in the area for Chinese food. Food is always yummy, large portions and great service. Sesame chicken and Chow Mie Fun are two of our favorites. Overall great neighborhood spot! read more

Food is pretty good for the prices and the delivery and service are quick. Woohoooo! Now for the bad... The phone lady is probably family because she is very blunt and comes off as rude every time I order and pick up. She even jips me on my fortune cookies but never fails for my boyfriend, haha! Ordered pork fried rice once and she would not let up that I just wanted steamed rice. No apology or anything for the mix up. If you're looking for great customer service, this isn't the right joint for you. However, if you can tolerate this person, the food is worth it! read more

Great tasty Chinese food that is always fresh the person behind the counter needs to have more training in dealing with people that is why I took one star off but I will definitely be coming back or having my food delivered read more

Amazing I haven't had a bad dish yet. Lo mein pork awesome. Chicken and snow pea awesome Mongolian beef awesome dim sum they gave us some for free very good read more

This is the worst Chinese take-out food I have EVER had. I always assumed Chinese food was like making love: even when it's bad, it's still good. This place proves that wrong. Heed this review, and I promise that I will save you time, money, and happiness. Before I get to the food, I must give them credit for having the absolute fastest delivery I've ever encountered (sub 20 minutes!). But I promise you, there is no expedited length of time they could ever achieve that would absolve them of how lamentably awful there food is. Do yourself the favor and just wait the extra few moments for food that is edible, you'll be 1000x happier. Look, I know it's just Chinese takeout, so I was not expecting any kind of ground-breaking culinary experience but this restaurant disappointed in so many fundamental categories that I feel absolutely compelled to forewarn any others who may makes the same mistake I did. So here, in order from least to most annoying, are the glaring issues I've come to take with Wah Yan: - fried rice was partially undercooked - the wonton in the wonton soup had no pork in it (it tasted like a noodle ball) - the egg roll is obviously fried from frozen (they all are) but there's is particularly horrendous. I mean to the point of necessitating additional sauces just hide the unassuming foulness of their egg roll! - and finally, their General Tso's Chicken was, by far ,the worst thing I've ever ordered from a Chinese Restaurant. To start, the chicken was tasteless. Let me repeat that, "the chicken was tasteless." Think about that; General Tso's is essentially chicken that is FRIED and then smothered in a SWEET/SPICY/SAVORY sauce. Acknowledging that, I've always operated under the impression that it was LITERALLY impossible for General Tso's to ever be tasteless. Yet somehow, this facade of a restaurant seems to have accomplished the unimaginable and then proceeds to add insult to injury by shamelessly delivering their disappointment with green bell peppers and carrots in lieu of the dish's iconic broccoli! Bravo Wah Yan, you have systematically proven to me that in a world of seemingly endless mediocrity and bare-minimums, there is still enough room under society's bar to harbor the vile incompetence of restaurants like your own. I will never order from here again and I wish nothing but the worst for you loathsome establishment. PS: your counter/phone lady is detestable. read more

Worst place ever with service, food was cold, they ask you if I bring it back. I'm sorry I had to microwave there the food to eat it. There's no need to go back after you order food. I've never had this bad of service after I spoke to they guy that got on the phone. It's sad, they should be more appreciative of people and not be so disrespectful owning a business. I know what it's like to be told negative stuff but to be hung up on is beyond me. Good luck you'll loose a close neighbor for good read more

Being stuck at home with nothing but old ramen and canned tuna w/expired mayo, I realized I needed takeout to survive. I usually don't stay in Boonton at my old apartment- and sans car access I decided to yelp it up and hopefully find some delivery chinese food in the area. Delivery guy was nice. Opening the bag, I was sad to not see any rice. Maybe they did away with that whole lunch-special deal? Ordered chicken lo-mein and fried dumplings. The dumplings were pleasantly browned and not dripping oil like other places in the area. Great filling, and the dipping sauce was nice and snappy-sweet. It was not full of a million scallions or runny like some other places. The lo-mein was amazing. Great flavor without being too overpowered by garlic or sweetness. The veggies were crispy and the chicken was identifiable and yummy. Yes, when it comes to Chinese take-out this is very important to me. xD I am really glad to have found this new gem so close to me. I'm tempted to unplug my fridge so I have an excuse to order here asap. ^.^ read more

I grew up eating at this place. It looks like the typical Chinese food takeout place but the food is so much better. Lunch menu is available all day and the portions are generous considering it's less than $5. You could get white, brown, or pork fried rice with whatever dish you choose. It's quick, cheap, and completely worth it. You'd never have to question whether or not it's really chicken you're eating there. :P read more

The lady is not that bad. Shes just efficient. She keeps the place running. I order all the time and just give back the quick answers. Little tip, have what you want to order ready and written down, just read it off to her. Everything is fast and really good! I've never got an attitude just a little pushy and quick. Don't be so sensitive lol read more

Great Chinese take-out, the food is good and the portions are great. You can get the lunch prices anytime which is great for someone on a budget. It was great to find a Chinese restaurant that makes great shrimp and broccoli since leaving Brooklyn. I also recommended the dumplings since they are some of the best I ever had. read more

Rudest person answering the phone! 15 years been ordering from here but never again. My delivery order contained beef instead of chicken, Called them back and the rude woman insisted I ordered Beef and told me it was my mistake!? So much for customer Service? I was told that I could exchange if I returned it But I reminded her I had it sent delivery. Did she expect me to drive It back there? In addition I told her I had been ordering That dish with chicken for 15 years and she should would recognize me when I got there. I drove down there in a rage beef screw up in hand. When she saw me she offered to exchange it in a flippant way But too little too late. She was still very rude and unapologetic. I gave her a piece Of my mind then I Threw the food in the trash right in front of her. Take it from some One who has worked in the food industry a long time... If you treat your customers that poorly you definately don't care what quality Food you're serving them either. It took me 15 years to realize the greasey dingy atmosphere matches their nasty attitude. Shame on you Wah yan kitchen! read more

The outside is enough to make you drive far far away. Don't. They have Great typical cheap Chinese food. Nothing fancy. But the typical stuff. Egg rolls, beef stixk, shrimp toasts, moo shu, ginger chicken and broccoli, Lo me in, fried rice. I've tried it all. And it's all the typical Chinese take out read more

The food is very good and they give you good portions. If you order from the lunch menu the prices are very reasonable. I usually get chicken and broccoli, it's better than most of the other Chinese places I've been to. I'll take friends here as well and they like it every time. read more

So I decided to try because of the reviews of them being super fast with delivery. Well... I waited close to one hour for delivery after calling to find out what happened to my order they finally came. When I asked the delivery guy what happened it was just a bank stare. Now the food - disgusting and cold. I felt like I totally waisted my money. Never again!!!! read more

We love take-out from Wah Yan. The food is delicious and always fresh. The Orange Chicken and Szechaun Beef are amazing, as are the soups and homemade egg rolls. Be sure to let them know if you want your food spicy, or not. Delivery is very fast and depending on your order they'll send you free Dim Sum. The phone lady is part of the charm in this busy restaurant. "Anything else?!" read more

This place certainly upgraded their quality of food and service. Pricing was always reasonable, but their other areas of business have matured, thankfully. The General Tso's Chicken and Hot & Sour Soup are great here. read more

I think this is the best chinese food in the area. They are super fast with their delivery (like unbelievably fast) and their food is better than any other place I've tried. I was nervous to call because so many people complained about the woman who answers the phone, but she really isn't bad at all. Prices are great, too. read more

I got general Tso's chicken. It was very good came with fried rice and miso soup. I would recommend it to anyone looking for good Chinese take out. read more

Okay 2-3 stars...Just brought home take out. We got a ton of food for very little $$ so I should probably ease up a little. THe best was the garlic broccoli and chicken/fun noodles. My kids also powered through the beef and broccoli too. THey cooked the brocolil perfectly in every dish. Steamed dumplings were SO bad I had to spit mine out - I threw the rest of them away. THere must have been something wrong with this batch...I hazard to guess they are not shop made fresh. Service - certainly not warm, but who cares. read more

I was hesitant on ordering because of the comments regarding the phone lady! She was rude, yelled, tried to hurry you up and then hung up the phone. If they are willing to lose customers then keep this lady on the phone. Hotel guests around the area should find other alternatives. PS. We chose this place due to the rating, however I just realized that owner rated it 5 stars to respond to a comment. read more
