Our favorite and the best Chinese food in Jersey! We have been here for dim sum, just our family and also for large parties, and the food is always incredible!! We are lucky that we are only 30 minutes away and never need to go into NYC when we are craving authentic and amazing Chinese food, or just want a delicious meal!

The food is top notch. Everything that we tried was fabulous. Dimsums, chicken fried rice, egg drop soup , scallion pancakes and orange chicken. I hate orange chicken because it is so overly sweet but this one was very good. Only problem that they have is the ambience. It can serve well as a takeout place but the setup and decor was somewhat not very welcoming

December 1st 2024, based on the reviews the quality of the food had was quite underwhelming. The fried rice was pretty stale and general tso chicken didn’t really taste like chicken. My biggest complaint is the beef teriyaki that was placed in my platter with the hot food. The beef teriyaki wasn’t fresh and it was also like warm compared to the other food that was in the platter. They also decide to put rice in the back of the platter, I don’t know why that was necessary. I was hungry and was not satisfied with my order but tolerated the best I could.

I have tried to eat here a few times in the last two years and have regretted every time. Recently I ordered a spicy tuna roll. Instead of the finely chopped tuna with spicy mayo mixed in, I got chunks of tuna that was more inductive of the prep for their poke bowls with mayo caked on the top of the roll. All I could taste was the sriracha mayo. Food is not terrible, but really just never a joy to eat.

We were on our way back to our hotel from Porter Square and decided to eat before going inside for the evening. We found Zoe’s on Google and it felt like such a gift. It’s in a mostly residential area; however we did find parking after circling. I wasn’t familiar with the area (in the dark) and I was hungry :) so there may have been easier options. The food was absolutely scrumptious, fresh tasting and abundant. The spinach was so good, I ate the leftover with my breakfast the next day. Everything we ordered was tasty. The customer care was top tier. We felt extra special. I definitely highly recommend and intend to revisit. Thanks so much.

An unexpected Chinese food haven beyond Chinatown. In search of an authentic Chinese dining experience that sidesteps the usual hustle and bustle of Boston's Chinatown, my friends and I recently took a visit to Zoe's on a Friday evening. The place was buzzing—a generally promising sign — and we were able to find a table without a wait. Despite the lively atmosphere, the service was impressively swift and attentive. The prices, slightly more affordable than those in Chinatown, were an added bonus. We shared an array of entrees, starting with the Dry Diced Chicken. Encased in a crispy exterior, the fatty bits of chicken thigh brought a level of richness that made the dish enjoyable. House Special Fried Rice was a multi-protein extravaganza that featured shrimp, chicken, and pork. It was more buttery than typical fried rice dishes but oddly satisfying. As our meal progressed, we found the Shanghai Baby Bok Choy Toy to be a bit on the salty side. However, its lightness offered a much-needed palate cleanser, setting the stage for the heartier dishes that followed. Mao’s Home Style Pork lived up to its name by providing a comforting, homely flavor that perfectly rounded out the previous courses. However, the pinnacle of our meal had to be the Tea-Smoked Duck. Though it was seemingly dry, the meat inside was incredibly tender and juicy. Each bite confirmed that this was quite possibly one of the best duck dishes I've had in Boston, or anywhere else for that matter. Overall, our dinner at Zoe’s exceeded our expectations, and we will definitely come back to try the duck again and explore other popular dishes.

We really appreciate the food here and definitely will come back to try more on the menu. We had 2 kinds of dumplings which made in house and it is definitely one of the best dumpling I had in Boston area. I wish they have pan-fried version of gyoza though which will boost the flavor and texture. We also ordered ebi chilli and subuta. We love flavor which I dont think you can find in the area. They are really delicate with their dish. Their cocktail is also really good though. I would encourage people to come here and explore all the flavor. It’s a fun experience!!

Mimi’s Chuka Diner is a unique and delicious establishment, tucked away inside Aeronaut. I may be biased, but I’ve followed Mimi’s Chuka and its owner Ted since they initially started as a frozen gyoza delivery service during the pandemic. I am very happy to see them growing over the years, now with its own space. Of course, you have to try their original pork gyoza, but their other dishes are also worth exploring. The matzah ball and wonton soup is great for sharing (or just as an appetizer for one). I love the mabo tofu and ebi chili dishes, with a big side of white rice. The rotating drinks menu also is excellent and worth a try, blending Asian flavors like lychee, jasmine tea, shiso with spirits. Overall, I highly recommend visiting Mimi’s Chuka Diner inside the Aeronaut.

We celebrated a family birthday at Yutaka Hibachi in Somerville, and it was an unforgettable experience! The chefs are incredibly skilled and entertaining, making the meal both delicious and fun. Everyone in our group was impressed by the quality of the food—from perfectly cooked steak and shrimp to fresh sushi and tasty fried rice.

My husband, daughter and I went to Yutaka on Monday night to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. Our server was very abrupt and rushed us through dinner, however we left a 20% tip on our bill. As we were exiting the restaurant, our server came running and yelling after us. I thought perhaps, we had left a phone or item behind. Instead, she came rushing out and yelled, “you didn’t leave me a tip? It was a lot of food!!” She showed my husband a receipt and it turns out that we had taken the wrong copy of the bill. I apologized and gave her the copy we had taken, which had the tip on it, and she grabbed it and stormed back into the restaurant, without even a thank you or an acknowledgement of her mistake. Her behavior was so extreme and probably led other customers think we had walked out without paying our bill. I’m so upset that we were treated this way. We have been going to Yutaka for years, but this was the last time for us! So rude and uncalled for behavior should not be acceptable towards customers!

this has been my absolute favorite sushi place for 5 years now! good quality yummy fish for the fairest pricing you’re going to find in all of somerville.. though their quality trumps some of its competitors. my favorite roll is the yummy yummy roll. service is always super fast. they have lovely lunch specials, outdoor seating and are byob.

Sushi Yokohama just back from re-construction the way they build are so Japanese Wood style. Decor are good, food is so fantastic. Owner Allen add new wagy beef to his menu! I try the food it was so delicious!

My wife and I had an incredible dining experience at Al Badawi! The food was absolutely delicious—authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a relaxed and enjoyable meal. A special mention goes to the young Georgian lady who served us—her professionalism and kindness made the experience even more delightful. She was attentive, friendly, and ensured everything was perfect throughout the evening. We can’t wait to return and enjoy this gem of a restaurant again. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food and exceptional service!

This the first time I visited Al Badawi with a big group of friends and must say it was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. The food was simply amazing and such a delight, showcasing the rich culinary heritage of Palestine. The service was exceptional. The staff were incredibly attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, we were made to feel welcome and well cared for throughout our meal, despite the fact that the restaurant was packed they went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful dining experience. The ambiance was beautiful and inviting. The decor perfectly complemented the delicious food and exceptional service, making it a truly memorable evening. I can't wait to return and highly recommend to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. Thank you team Al Badawi

Pretty decent spot open late. Not sure why the recent reviews are super negative. I did move recently, so maybe it was better before. Picked up during a rainstorm when everything else nearby was closed. Took ~20 minutes for a fried rice and veggie lo mein. I like that they are obviously healthier than a lot of takeout places, even if it means the food isn't as flavorful as it otherwise could be. Brown rice gang 💪🏼

Bland food and gave us the wrong order. It’s pretty hard to mess up fried rice and yet. Ordered wonton soup and it only had 3 wontons in it. Pretty bad. Avoid!

Convenient late-night Chinese takeout spot with mediocre food. Dumpling Kitchen was one of the first Chinese takeout spots I tried after moving to Boston. Back then, my friends hyped it as their late-night lifesaver, but for me, the dumplings didn’t exactly surprise me. As I explored more of Boston’s late-night Chinese food scene, Dumpling Kitchen quickly dropped off my radar. It’s not the worst option out there, but let’s just say “edible” is doing most of the heavy lifting here. Honestly, some grocery store frozen dumplings might give them a run for their money—and at least those don’t come with the sticker shock of premium prices for thick-skinned dumplings with bland fillings. The classics didn’t do much better. Both the Mongolian Beef and Twice-Cooked Beef skimped on the meat and drowned in overly heavy sauces that muddied the flavors. The only dish that stood out was the shrimp fried rice, which, to be fair, is almost impossible to mess up. In the end, Dumpling Kitchen is a place I’d maybe turn to in a pinch, but not a spot I’d crave. It’s like the friend who’s always there late at night but never leaves you truly satisfied.

DoorDash had this restaurant at a 4.7. Just came to rate them and I can see that they are correctly rated at 3.4! This food is absolutely TASTELESS! It tastes like a paper towel! We ordered the vegetarian lo mein and the beef wok flat noodles. They both taste the same…like a paper towel! So disappointing since we thought that being in the city, we would get good food. Nope! Don’t be fooled by the pictures. They have no flavor.

All good but $17 feels like more. But still good sesame chicken. Tastes good

Typical Chinese takeout spot with subpar food. Recently stumbled Upton this place while getting an ice cream nearby. From the outside, it looked okay, but the food overall was below that of standard Chinese takeout joints. The meat dishes, specifically the Spicy Salt & Pepper Pork Chop and Chicken Wings, were quite disappointing. Both appeared to be made from frozen meats, which resulted in a dry and unappetizing texture. The wings were particularly underwhelming, with brittle bones chopped at awkward angles. Its sharp edges and small bone fragments made it challenging to eat, and I ended up throwing out half of it. The rice dishes, the Beef Fried Rice and the House Special Fried Rice, were also mediocre at best. The rice texture in both dishes seemed off, likely due to the use of undercooked frozen rice, and the flavors were lackluster. Thankfully, some of their other protein dishes like the Egg Foo Young Shrimp and Mapo Tofu were decent. The Egg Foo Young, though not particularly fluffy, was somewhat redeemed by a savory Chinese gravy sauce. While Chow N Joy may suffice for a quick, no-frills Chinese meal, I would recommend going to Zoe’s nearby for a more quality Chinese food.

Honestly this place is not bad the food is pretty decent not your fancy stuff but if you need to get full & are craving some chines around the are this place is not bad at all. The rice was pretty good & the salt & pepper shrimp are great one of my favorite things to order. There’s only take out from what it looks like inside .. my only issue was the service, I had called ahead & the lady on the phone didn’t get my order right & so I had called again thinking she’s busy , but again there’s no understanding on what I wanted so I just asked for the shrimp & the rice with chicken. Overall not bad place just better to order in person next time for me.

this is your neighborhood chinese joint, nothing fancy but portions are good, food is good and service is good. I think they only do take out.

Had my daughters’ shower at Savor in December. It was perfect. Everything from the first contact with Lisa to discuss menu selections to table arrangement. The restaurant was decorated beautiful for Christmas. The menu selection was great, many options to choose from. Food was delicious, a lot of our guests commented on how this was an amazing shower. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant, you will not be disappointed!

Found Savor through the Resy partnership with AMEX and thought to give it a try with my lovely wife. Food was excellent, prices surprisingly good. It’s BYOB and wine can be found in very close proximity. My wife and I enjoyed the eggplant stack. My wife had the lobster ravioli which was a special and I had the chicken rolatini. Both good but the lobster ravioli was easily the star of the show. Dessert was good as well. We agreed we would absolutely return here and give Savor a solid recommendation
