    The location of this restaurant is really cool! It's in a back alley and has a very decorative door, you feel like you're in a bigger city! Unfortunately, the food is not very good. We were served store bought pot stickers. Service was sketchy. The place used to be awesome but has gone severely down hill. Please do yourself a favor and go to lucky bamboo. What we had was edible but I wouldn't go back.

    The food is not good anymore. We were regulars when the previous owners worked here. The hot and sour soup was fantastic, the egg rolls were good and I never had anything that wasn't delicious. This is not the case anymore! Go to panda express and save yourself from this experience. The service is the worst I've ever had. The waitress was rude and yelled at me for something she did wrong. I will never EVER return here.

    This restaurant was a family favorite for almost 30 years! One of the better Chinese restaurants we'd ever eaten at. Tonight was literally the worst. Nastiest Chinese food we've ever had! To travel the spectrum from best to worst between visits was devastating. They recently renovated and changed ownership. The food was all bad. Chicken was raw in the middle and had to be sent back. The fried items were clearly cooked in rancid oil. Bacon wrapped water chestnuts tasted like they were wrapped before the industrial revolution. What a bummer! We watched another couple cringe as they bit into their rancid egg rolls. They had been long time customers too. Unless you have a time machine to go back to golden wok under former ownership, don't do it.

    Resurrected from a former speakeasy, this spectacular small-town Chinese restaurant is literally a hole in the wall. Its red enameled archway doors are secreted between two brick buildings, and accessible only by shadowy alley-way. The Golden Wok is so secluded that some lifelong residents won't even recognize the name, let alone its sordid history of bawdy houses and bootleg gin. I've spent enough special occasions here to graduate from sipping Shirley Temples to Dragon Ladies, and the menu lives up to the memories I've made. For my father's 65th Birthday, I gathered friends and family for their signature dinner: A fearsomely titled, multiple course, 8-10 person feast: "The Genghis Khan Hot Pot Banquet"! When we arrived, the white linen tables were already set with silver vessels of soy and sweet & sour sauce, and bookended with two kettles of piping hot Chinese tea. There was some small distress about my little nephew's presence (technically he made our headcount 11, they are sticklers about their reservation requirements), but he had a chair and a booster seat in the time it took to pass the tea. First Course: Picture a platter of all your favorite appetizers with a pineapple in the center. This pineapple is not ironic, nevermind the toothpicked balls of fried shrimp piercing it's exterior, it is epic, and it sweetens the mood. Especially once the top is removed to reveal tender slices of the fresh fruit. Supporting roles in this dish include staples like egg rolls, fried won tons, deep-fried jumbo shrimp, bacon-wrapped water chestnuts, and believe it or not, barbecued spare ribs. Second Course: Everything was served family-style, so everyone shared the Sweet and Sour Shrimp platter. A light batter over perfectly prepared jumbo prawns, served with the tasty "chef's special sauce". Fried and white rice, as well as cocktails, were steadily refilled. Third Course: My Dad and I passed on the President's Chicken, a spicy stir-fry made with peanuts and Szechuan sauce (Not a fan of nuts), but it was a hit with the rest of the table. Fourth Course: The Emperor's Delight tastes as regal as it's name, with a glorious combination of king crab meat and marinated beef. This is the best kind of surf and turf, served in a sublime Imperial sauce with sauteed crimini mushrooms. Definitely the highlight of my meal. Fifth Course: There started to be talk of pacing ourselves after extra helpings at the last courses, and then they presented us with the Peking Duck. This was a scene-stealing, seconds-having, show-stopper. It takes 24 hours to prepare and requires a reservation, and it's the most succulent bird I've ever eaten. Served with a dark sauce, elegantly cut bamboo shoots, and tiny round crepes, it was pretty enough that I was even able to convince my picky sister to try a bite. (She loved it) Sixth Course: The Hot Pot, aka big electric wok full of make-your-own soup. After some awkwardness with our waitress and the plug (the outlet was positioned right below one of our guests), we fumbled around attempting to cook with our netted spoon implements. It didn't take long before we decided toss in all the ingredient options - very unceremonious but satisfying. Contents included marinated chicken, beef, shrimp, and scallops, sliced cha siu (barbecued pork), bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, Chinese cabbage, onions, lettuce, and spinach, in an egg swirl broth. Last Course: Dessert was the mysteriously titled "Mandarin Dream", which consisted of palate-teasing vanilla ice cream and tangerine slices, topped with orange liqueur and shredded coconut. The cool citrus and rich vanilla was a fantastic finale, but I could barely manage a few bites after that bacchanal. Almost everyone else cleaned their bowl! The price was a scandalously affordable $19.75 per person for this decadent dinner, not including the drinks. And you have to try at least one - with names like "Strawberry Butterfly", how can you resist? Don't worry, the walls may have ears, but they'll never tell. They've been keeping secrets for years.

    This is not good food. This is not good Chinese food - not in an authentic sense or even in an American style sense. It's just bad. You've been warned. However, it is the type of "chinese food" my grandma might, just might, enjoy.

    This is rumored to be the best Chinese food in Newark. I feel like it's a secret gem, because it is literally hidden away! If you have trouble finding it, look no further than the alley. Yes, the entrance is right on the alley, but you'll see a big sign for it from the street. Don't worry, it's not really sketchy... just has its entrance... in an alley. Hm. Everything is pretty good here, so it's hard to give specific recommendations.

Chinese Cuisine

The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.

Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.

There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.
