I alternate between Wang's and Hot Fish Hackensack when my wife and I want authentic Chinese food. The stir fried yellow beef is my favorite dish here, and the ma po tofu and dumplings are pretty good. I also have to mention that the dining room is nice, and the service is great. read more

This place wasn't always Wang's Chinese Cuisine. It used to be a different Joyce Cuisine. I never got to try Joyce but I heard mixed reviews. I did however got to try Wangs and the place was great. It's nice to have an authentic Chinese cuisine near my home. Wangs has a lot of authentic dishes that you'll find in most Chinese restaurants. The place has 2 private spaces. They also have plenty of tables for big parties. The service is also great as they are attentive. Dishes came out fast so that's always a plus too. read more

It is probably the most authentic Chinese cuisine outside of NYC and San Francisco's Chinatowns. It doesn't get much better than this in the US. Their style is Hunan-Szechuan, so expect spicy, which in some case may be adjustable. Here's the however: The menu is particularly unusual and features numerous items that are well worth trying but sounds off-putting like tripe, frog, and other more exotic items! Regardless, there are a plethora of other more "middle-of-the-road" choices: I recommend the egg white drop soup with minced beef, Ma-pa tofu, and chicken with spicy Chinese dried red chili. The service is typical of a Chinese restaurant and can at times be overly "efficient," but they do get the job done. The ambience is clean and new and they use real table cloths and napkins but nothing special. Parking is ample in the front and a lot more in the back of the strip mall. Currently, a reservation is not required but that may change soon. Also, I believe it is BYOB! The bottom-line is this: If you like good Chinese food, you absolutely should try this establishment. And, if you are adventurous, it is a must! The food is worth Five-Stars, but everything else is three, ergo the four star rating. read more

River Edge, NJ - Wang's is a Chinese restaurant with a regional focus on Hunan cuisine, along with serving up your typical American-Chinese standards. It is similar to Sichuan/Szechuan cuisine in ways, in that there is an emphasis on spicy foods, although the spice profiles differ. It is in the space formerly occupied by a different Chinese restaurant called Joyce (RIP - I loved and miss their short-lived foray into seafood boils). Although there are many great authentic (meaning regionally specialized) Chinese restaurants in Bergen County and northern NJ, including several Sichuan places, this is the only Hunan one I'm aware of (without venturing further south into NJ), and is certainly one of the nicest Chinese restaurants atmosphere-wise, with an elegant dining room. If you want to try the interesting and authentic dishes, of which there are plenty, order from the sections of the menu labeled with "Hunan" or "Home Style." The soups and cold appetizers are very traditional too. The house speciality is the Hunan steamed fish head with pickled chili - the platter is quite impressive and takes 20-30 min to prepare. You can add tofu (recommended) or noodles for an additional $5. We ordered this but since I'm not a fish head fan (and like my fish very simply dressed) - I think it was a type of carp - the appreciation for it was lost on me. It's topped with a heap of red chilis but is actually not as spicy as it looks. Personally I prefer the fish fillet dishes such as the fish with ginger, which has very tender filet slices. I loved the soup dumplings (large and soupy), shrimp with salted egg yolk (or any salted egg yolk dishes, which aren't easy to find), and enjoyed the tender sautéed beef dishes like beef with spring onion or the spicy green pepper with steak, with crunchy peppers that give a piquant refreshing kick. They have whole Peking duck (Beijing roast duck)! The menu only shows pricing for the whole duck but we asked for half and they obliged. To be honest it's not the best Peking duck I've had but the balance of crispy skin (that's yet not too fatty) to generously shaved lean duck meat was unimpeachable. And they use high-quality crepes that are superbly thin but do not tear. The lo mein is also pretty good - it's slightly smoky and is better than common. Parking tip: there are only a few spots in front but there is a parking lot in the back of the building with plenty of spaces. There are lots of exciting and exotic menu offerings and still many we'd like to try, so we'll be back repeatedly. read more

If you're a fan of classic Chinese banquet-style dining and have been loyal to Aquarius in Fort Lee, Wang's Chinese Cuisine is a great alternate option. One standout for me was their Cold Chicken in Chili Oil--a perfect appetizer to start with. The chicken was tender, the chili oil aromatic but not overpowering, and it had just the right balance of heat and savory flavor. I can definitely vouch for it. We also tried their Steamed Fish Head with Tofu, one of their specialty dishes. Not only was it done well, but the portion was impressively large, making it ideal for sharing with a group. The fish was fresh, delicately cooked, and paired nicely with the silky tofu. That said, the beef sautéed dish missed the mark for me. The flavor was solid, but the beef itself was too chewy, which took away from the overall experience of the dish. The tea they provided was very watered down as well, practically water. Overall, while I would still give the edge to Aquarius when it comes to the entrees, Wang's is definitely worth visiting if you're in the area. read more

I'm a huge fan of authentic Chinese food so after moving to the area, I was hoping this would be my new go-to spot. However, I think my search will still continue. Tucked away in the Kinderkamack plaza sits this joint. Since it's a small area with tons of stores, the parking can be a little limited but most of the time you should be able to find a spot. The restaurant itself is quite spacious inside, I think this was remodeled from the old Joyce restaurant. Because of the location my family frequents this place often and have tried several dishes. However, I have yet to find one that stands out and often try something different every time. Most of the dishes tend to be very sauce heavy and overpowers the flavor of the food. Additionally, there are not many tofu items on the menu here which makes things more difficult if you're vegetarian. The food certainly isn't bad by any means and it's entirely possible I may just haven't found what they do best yet. Presentation of the food is good as you can see. Service is not where they shine either. Most of the staff only speaks Chinese so you may have some trouble having your questions clarified. Additionally when ordering take-out, I've had my orders messed up on multiple occasions without any willingness to correct it. Portion sizes are decent but the pricing is steep, you'll be paying a lot more here compared to what you'd get at other Chinese spots. I think I'd be okay with this if the quality was better but overall I'd say this is just okay. read more

I picked up meal for dinner and disappointed. Sesame Chicken was very hard, dry and weird texture. Pick up place or food court make much better one. Tiny spring rolls(came with 4, menu said 2) were just like the frozen ones from Asian market. Mapo tofu taste was not something I expected (my kid said taste like spicy margarita pizza, and I agreed with it). I was excited that I could try authentic Chinese food from actual restaurant but disappointed especially with this price. I wouldn't go back. read more

Authentic Chinese food! The vide and ambiance is tranquil as in quiet. Served tea to start. Quality of food is phenom. It's in a strip mall but doesn't change the quality of it. Staff doesn't know English well so just have patience! Def a go to for eat in and dine out! We ordered dumplings, chicken dish and soup. Both great! read more

I've been to this restaurant a few times since they opened a few months ago, taking over the space formerly occupied by Joyce Chinese restaurant. The Hunan cuisine is fantastic, offering a great variety of dishes that make it ideal for dining with a large group, so you can try more of the menu. The standout dish for me was the fish head with tofu, perfectly spiced to balance flavor and heat. My second favorite was the tender braised pork belly, which was full of rich flavor. The string beans with eggplant are also a must-have, and you really can't go wrong with any of the appetizers. Recently, I had the pleasure of celebrating a birthday dinner here. We had made a reservation for a large group, and when we arrived, we noticed that the two private rooms were not occupied. We asked if we could use one of the private rooms, and the staff quickly and graciously accommodated us. They set up the room for us with impressive speed, and they didn't require a dining minimum,which is unusual for most restaurant!! This making the evening feel even more special. It was the perfect setting for a celebratory meal with good friends!! The service is always attentive, and the ambience remains casual yet inviting. Prices are very reasonable for their portion, and is a BYOB, making it a great spot for both regular visits and special occasions! read more

Great dinner at Wang's last night! It can get crowded so make sure to call in advance and get a reservation. It felt like a buzzing neighborhood hot spot. This place is new, authentic, and has great food + service. Not the most kid-friendly in terms of the menu options but soup dumplings were so good! This place is BYOB - feel free to bring your favorite wine/beer to pair with your meal. read more

7/13/24 Always on the lookout for a good Chinese restaurant. And they are really good! Nice big space. Different sections, there are booths and tables and large tables with lazy susans. So many delicious dishes. We're only 2 so we ordered 1 dish each and plan to go back to try others. So good we went back a week later hehehe Scallion Pancake - crispy! This was very good, we ordered a second one. Stir Fried Pig Feet - ok we did not except such small pieces of pig feet but it's so good! 2 pepper sign is so spicy. Sizzling Hot Plate Duck - oh delicious! Tender duck over a bed of veggies. My favorite! Green Pepper Century Eggs - spicy but good, I think it's like a jalapeño pepper too spicy to eat directly. I avoided eating the pepper then it was less spicy. Smoked Pork with Garlic Sprouts - this is really good, I only wish the pork was more tender. General Tsos Chicken - generic Singapore Fried Rice - this was different, love Singapore Mei Fun, but never had it as rice, but it's good. We saw another table get a big bowl, and we asked what it was, fish head soup. Definitely coming back in cooler weather to try it! read more

Went for a Saturday lunch at the newly renovated restaurant. There were lots of table available, we didn't have to wait at all to get seated. The restaurant is beautiful, capturing elements of the Chinese culture. I loved the ceiling lights that have Chinese characters and symbols marked in them. The menu is huge, about 12 pages. We ordered several items among which Singaporean fried rice was my favorite. Had a mix of shrimp, chicken, egg, with quality rice. The cucumber with garlic sauce was excellent too. Other items like mixed seafood with vegetables, popcorn chicken and egg with minced pork were average to me. Service wise they are really good, really friendly staff. They packed our left overs. Food came out pretty quick too. Overall a decent family dining location. read more

Second time is not the charm, it turns out. We loved our meal the first time at Wang's, so it was no brainer stopping by recently for dinner. Unfortunately, both of our main dishes were under seasoned and I actually had a stomach issue right after eating one of the foods. 1. Singapore Chowmein (4/5, Main) - The comforting curry-flavored stir-fried noodle was done right, perhaps a bit light on protein and lacking the wow factor. Still it anchored our meal nicely and had good portions. 2. Eggplant with string beans (3/5, Veggie) - Both veggies were nicely cooked but were unfortunately bland. They did not let the veggies soak in more sauce because I think it was done too quickly 3. Hunan style spicy fish w. green peppercorn (3/5, Entree) - I'm a Chongqing spicy fish lover and we ordered this with pickled chili because that's Hunan style and I wanted to see how they do here. Unfortunately, fish was just bland - a sign that they did not season the fish first before combining with the spicy sauce mixture and cooking it. We were pretty sure they just put the fish straight into the sauce and cooked it because fish itself wasn't overcooked and flavor just did not penetrate the fish nor other veggies in any meaningful way. So while the sauce was delicious with fragrant green peppercorn and delectable sour & spicy chili bits, everything else felt separated. We hoped for the fish to absorb some of the flavor the next day and it still wasn't quite "together", which was a shame. Also, I think in a rush to cook their fish, something wasn't done right because I had a major d visit me within 15 minutes. I was surprised because everything tasted fresh, but we were sure of it. Didn't have any issue next day microwaving and eating the same. Anyway, so as you can see it was a bit of a let down from my first experience here. Probably shouldn't order fish dish, especially since I just found out that famous spicy fish chain opened up right down the street at the mall. But I won't write them off just yet - they do authentic Chinese food well... that night just wasn't their night. read more

This is a high end Asian restaurant specializing in Hunan authentic cuisine. There choices cater to specialized dishes favored by their clientele.

Wang's offers authentic hunan cuisine as well as some cantonese dishes at lunch. Their food is the best Chinese in Eastern Bergen County.

Wang's actually is a Hunan style restaurant also providing typical Sichuan food, spicy and delicious from a Chinese taste. This is the third time I came here since last month, it always comes in my mind first to come when there is close friend's visit even it is 45 minutes drive. read more

The first time we came we didn't realize how hot Hunan cooking can be. Very good but spicy. Today we ordered standard dishes, and we were really pleased with the portion size, taste and quality of ingredients. This place really pays attention to details on food and atmosphere. Good prices for lunch menu. read more

Best Hunan style restaurant in NJ! Very authentic flavor! I came here for dinner pretty much every week since their opening. Having Wang at this location saves me lots of time driving to Flushing or NYC for other Hunan restaurants. The taste is also very comparable to those restaurants in NY, some dishes are even better. I ordered the spicy frog stew and stir-fried pork feet last time and these are two of the must-try dishes here! (The other one should be the fried fresh chicken, which is also really good!) The staffs are really nice and the service is exceptional. Some waits may be expected if you come during the weekend. But still highly recommended overall! read more

I went this restaurant for several times recently. Being a Hunan Chinese, I knew what traditional Xiang cuisine tastes like. OMG! This restaurant is amazing and really pressed me for its authentic food, renovations, and services. I have to say this is the best Chinese restaurant I ever tried in US. The dishes are so delicious! They looked like so spicy but actually not really too hot after you tasted! The top two dishes like spicy fish head & Peking duck are super tasty, you never gonna forget them if you try it. I will come back for sure and recommend it to all my family and friends! read more

Friendly clean interior. We went in to order takeout. They saw that we wasn't sure what to order and they recommended a couple of dishes. We ended up ordering general Taos chicken, Spicy wonton, cucumber sides, beef with tomatoes, hunan fried rice and hot and sour soup. We finally found some authentic Asian food in Bergen county. The hunan food tasted just like the food we order from Flushing or Manhattan's Chinatown. Very very happy. Will go there from now on. read more

We went to Wang' for their lunch specials. The place had only one other family when we arrived. The special came with soup and entree. They only offered hot and sour soup with the special. It would be nice to be able to have another type of soup or egg roll as alternative. The entrees were pretty good. I ordered wonton soup to go. It was ok. It wasn't even a full quart of soup with not many wontons in it and it was close to 8 dollars. read more

We were very sorry to lose Joyce but excited to try Wang's which has taken over the space. So glad we did! As we were new to lots of things on the menu, we asked the staff for recommendations. They were happy to oblige and let us know what dishes their Chinese diners have been ordering. So glad we did as I'd never have ordered the steamed fish head in my own. We had soup dumplings, pork belly, and eggplant. Another place I'll be introducing my friends to as I work my way through the menu. read more
