For Buffet the one in Toms River by the movie theatre is great. Food is always fresh and they have Oysters on Sundays.

 

For takeout....Great Wok in Lakehurst....great Mei-Fun and excellent hot and sour soup.

Sang Kee Noodle Cafe, Cherry Hill, life changing shrimp dumplings in broth.  Traditional and Handmade.

Take out - Crown Palace Marlboro...

When I do take out I do Happy Wok in Mantua, it's the first place I've found where I like everything they make. I lived in Deptford for 9 years and never found a good place.

While not Chinese, the 2 best Asian buffets in NJ IMO is Minado in little Ferry and Ichi Umi in Edison with Mikkoli in East Brunswick close behind. Chinese American takeout is hit or miss in NJ but Wonder Seafood in Edison is quite good for all the favorites and I like Shanghi Bun on RT 34 in Matawan for their soups and soup dumplings.

For Take Out my wife and I love Hunan Express at 100 Main Street, East Brunswick.

The place looks awful, the customer service leaves a lot to be desired and the telephones are often answered by children, but the food makes it worth putting up with.

If you like Makkoli, you have to try Teppanyaki. Same shopping plaza as the Harbor Freight on Rt. 18 near Tices Lane. It's HUGE, it's cheap (7.50 for a lunch buffet and 12 bucks for a dinner including Fridays and Saturdays) They have a hibachi station, tons of sushi, etc. and I think 16 tables of assorted foods.

You mean I can go to harbor freight and stuff my face? I'm sold. Better check this place out before my bariatric surgery.

I have and the place is just plain dangerous, unsanitary with greasy,tastless,overcooked food....do your self a favor and stay away. and don't let your charge card out of your sight for a moment.

Nothing beats the 2am trips to Wo Hops in downtown Manhattan but if we have to stay NJ its either House of Chong or Little Szechuan

Never been to...any good when it was open? I seem to stick with a certain few items when I go to any place

I like Minado also, but it is a fairly long distance for me so I rarely get there.

Fortune, near theater on Rt 37, Toms River is decent--it seems like they have stepped up the sushi last time I was there.

Greenleaf in Lakehurst is good for Thai--actually the only Thai in the area that I am aware of.

 

I would like to see a Kaiten (conveyer) sushi restaurant, but they are still pretty rare in the U.S.

Excellent Cantonese with beef specialities and shark's fin...also had a huge selection of wiskeys and cognacs. that whole corner on the Bowery is going to be a hotel so all the small places are closing.

There was one in Teaneck  {Kaiten} called East but I haven't eaten there for years and If you do get up there visit Mitsuwa Japanese Grocery in Edgewater, I get my rice bran oil and Toro there.

in Ocean County, Ming Dynasty on Rt 72 Manahawkin

Some of the best take out I have had was at King Wong Chinese Restaurant in Marlton.

We were in Manhattan for a week in April and ate several times at Kaiten East in midtown (366 3rd Avenue).  It was excellent.

I was so amazed at the incredible food and coffee options available just in a small area of the city.

and most are hidden on upper floors where knowing a Japanese resident of the city is the only way to find where they are and get invited in.In K town all you have to do is look up and see the signs but in the Japanese community they are mostly hidden and unadvertized except in the west Village where the youngsters hang.

Also a good one...

All Chinese food in NJ tastes the same to me.

Pretty much this

 

Meat, veggie, add 4 lbs of MSG = Chinese food

^^^^^^ This.

 

For real Chinese food, I'll trek to Chinatown or mom's.

China Wok in Bridgewater.  One of the BEST Crab Rangoons ever!!!! The rest of the menu is good too, but a lot like the others around here. Sometimes I will call up and just order three or four orders of Rangoons.

Try East Star Buffet on Main street in Somerville.  Hit it on Friday in the summer for Cruise night and see a couple hundred old cars at the same time.    

^^^^^^ This.

yeah I've had chinatown "real chinese food." It is authentic all right. 

 

That said I'm not a real big fan. But I'm fine with a lot of the American Chinese restaurant menu. Egg rolls, beef/broccoli, general tso's chicken (who was General Tso anyway?) etc. 

 

My go to place is a local place in Sussex called Eastern Garden. There's another place called Bo Bo Kitchen but I've never had theirs. Honestly the place up here is OK. They've been getting expensive though. 

C'mon, waiting for someone to post a good Chinese buffet in the Howell /Freehold/ Farmingdale area....

Shans in Deptford has pretty good takeout food!

wo-hop, 17 mott st nyc

im always bringing home take out from there

I also enjoy the buffet near marquee in Toms River... For Chinese takeout my wife and I are VERY picky.. Full House on rt 37 in TR (East of Mule Rd) is also REALLY good. Chinese buffet off of Rt 571 cross of Rt 9 is also pretty good too.
