A GOOD sit-down Chinese restaurant in or near South Bergen

[plove53]

Hello... I tried this once before (very little luck)...

ANYWAY...

There are sooo many hole in the wall Chinese restaurants and the food is sooo bad.

SO...

I’m looking for a GREAT sit-down (nice atmosphere) Chinese style restaurant (not a Japanese steak house)...

Does anyone remember The Jade Fountain? So places like that... Here are a couple of places I know of...

LEES (in Lyndhurst)
The New China Inn (in Rutherford... but the service is going down)

Thanks

Tina Louise in Carlstadt NJ is AMAZING! They are super creative. The Shanghai Dumpling Soup and Flat noodles were what I tried. The restaurant is tiny but YUMMY. Wish I lived closer so I could try everything.

They also own/operate afew other restaurants.

Also consider Pettie SooChow in Cliffside Park.
The atmosphere is good., the service is warm and the food is excellent. Check out this thread: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/315124?query=soochow&user_name=

We definitely remember The Jade. We would suggest the following.

It's a store front type restaurant and the food is very good.

Clifton

China Garden Restaurant
306 Main Ave
Clifton, NJ 07014

This is a regular restaurant place and most nights the food is terrific, but, occassionally just so-so, but, still much better than most Chinese rest that are around.

I have heard good things(but have not yet gotten there) about

Tina Louise
403 Hackensack St
Carlstadt, NJ 07072

John's Shanghai on River Road in Edgewater. Don't miss out on the Steamed Juice Pork Buns.
