Cheng's Restaurant

129reviews

They sent us rotten broccoli that was completely inedible, so we had to throw it away. When we called to explain the situation, the lady acted like she had no idea what we were talking about and insisted it was fresh, despite sending us the rotten broccoli. I wouldn't even feed that food to my pets. My sister had a similar experience. She found fingernails in her food. Despite her warnings I continued to order now, I learned my lesson. Overall, I do not recommend this place. I regret my decision, and if I could give zero stars, I would."

My wife and I enjoy our food we order from here. The food is fresh and hot.

Fortune Cookie

I’ve eaten here two times so far. First time was pre-pandemic and during the summer. I believe I ordered same dish too: beef & broccoli with brown rice. But I got caught off guard by how big the portion size was the first time around. So today when I had a hearty appetite and hadn’t eaten all day, it seemed like a good move to hit up Fortune Cookie before going to Stop & Shop supermarket a few doors down. It was warm indoors (respite from the 30-something degree weather outside), plenty of seating, clean appearance, and complimentary green tea dispenser along with sugar. I ordered beef & broccoli combination which came with (pork) egg roll. Very hearty serving size! The price considering was fair: about $13. (They do accept credit /debit cards & Apple Pay.) There was a tv showing NY1 News. I took my time enjoying my meal which was hot and tasted good. One important note based on a lifetime of eating Chinese food: If the hot mustard comes in a little cup instead of those ubiquitous packets, watch out! It’s going to hit different—just a drop or two of the cup one is WAY MORE zesty than an entire packet and you will feel a mighty exodus take place in your nasal passages. So if you like hot mustard, make sure you get extra napkins. I chilled out in Fortune Cookie for maybe close to 20 minutes. When I told the pleasant lady who took my order that I wanted it to stay, she brought food to me at the table. Solid 4 stars. No complaints. Two other things to note: I believe this is the rare Chinese restaurant that doesn’t sell “4 chicken wings and French fries.” Also, thankfully, they don’t charge you $1 extra for brown rice. There are places that do that—penalize you for trying to eat healthy—and I hate it. Please be careful around parking lot/sidewalk entrance where Dunkin Donuts is: Drivers are not always paying attention to pedestrians and sadly, tragically, I did see a horrible tragedy happen at the shopping plaza entrance near Fortune Cookie.

The rice is bland. The chicken is big which means its altered chicken. Only 2 pieces of chicken but cut to make it seem like 4. The customer service is good. The place is clean. The food is below sub par.

What ever you do, DO NOT PLACE YOUR ORDER THROUGH GRUBHUB OR ANY OTHER APPS. Call in your order in. They charged me an order that was supposed to be $55, $78! And It was for PICKUP! I was overcharged for simply ordering from the app! On top of that, the restaurant charged me an additional $7.5 because the App GrubHub doesn’t specify the sizes of order, I made sure to specify size- so the restaurant charged me 30% for each item I requested a large in. I have to further look into this. Something is off.

The food here is delicious. Good size portions for the price you pay. I typically get take out food as to the restaurant itself is small and minimal in appearance.

China King

China King is my new favorite Chinese food spot... Not only was it delicious but the staff was very courteous. We will definitely be back!

At first it might feel like a generic take out spot, and to be fair it is, however as I waited for my order and went ahead and ordered more, I noticed something very strange. I was patient, polite but also direct with what I wanted and communicated it well. At the end, I left with a smile on my face because they reciprocated all of the things I mentioned and then some by making sure I got enough sauces and thanked me three times. It is the little things that makes you return to a business and I sure will. They have $10 card minimum but take cash. My total was $16 for a double sautéed pork and fried rice combo the side and something similar but with shrimp with lobster sauce. I was happy to leave them the $20 and was on my way to enjoy the food. Overall it was a great experience so I think anyone patient enough should give this place a try.

Honestly, the food itself is good, but I pride myself as a Crab Rangoon enthusiast. The Crab Rangoons here are a 2/10. They’re soggy, at times fishy, and the cottage cheese is curdled. I believe if they used traditional Philadelphia cream cheese and a thinner dough, they would be significantly better. Overall, I’d skip over the Rangoons and stick to the meals.

Limited seating. The outside glass door is open so they built a wood and plastic enclosure - freezing. Supplies were stacked up 8 ft high, 10 ft wide and almost the depth of our 4-person booth. Mexican menu is good and accommodating. The East Asian menu is still great.

I’m at work I ordered food for my son. These prejudice foreigners had the audacity to charge my card and withhold the food from my son because he could not produce my ID. People of color do not order from this establishment. Do not order or pick up from a place that doesn’t value your business in your neighborhood. I have boycotted Asian establishments for this reason beauty supply stores and restaurants alike!

So here I am, ordered something right after I got off the Atlantic City bus. Go home and serve myself a couple of spoons into a small bowl. Didn't actually look at my food, but I sat to eat some while speaking to my hubby. Bitten on something that tasted vile. I couldn't make up what it was... but if I had to guess... nasty, nasty & nasty. It appeared to be extra protein with extra legs abs from the big one. If not a part of a mice stomach. Whatever i spit up was very dark... but unrecognizable.

This place is really bad, we specifically asked for a pan fried flounder and they gave us steamed flounder instead and it wasn’t even cooked properly it was discusting we end up throwing it away. Be careful everyone the place may look clean but the way they handle our food is another, Really awful!!

Great food here and very nice restaurant. The staff is very friendly and the wait wasn’t long. Loved how they had the kids decorate the restaurant
