I am visitng my mother-in-law in a couple of weeks and would love to eat some good chinese food. Being I live in Phoenix there is no good chinese here. I would love some suggestions. Thanks

Sunny Garden in Princeton on rt 1 is pretty good.

It's nothing fancy, but Tiger Noodle on Nassau Street in Princeton is the best around. Sunny Garden is my second fav!

Sun Lok Garden in the Dover Shopping Mall has very good but basic Chinese food. They’re located off of S. Broad St. in Yardville, NJ. Their address is 5 Sunnybrae Blvd., Yardville, NJ 08620 (609) 585- 0520. They’re a BYOB and have a small dinning room, but do a lot of take-out. I don’t think they have a website, but might be able to FAX you a menu. Also, their ad in the yellow pages might list their menu. Their prices are very reasonable.

I agree. Sun Lok Garden is a good neighborhood Chinese restaurant. We have had some excellent whole fish there and many standard Chinese American dishes. The best within at least 10 miles of Yardville. To do better, get in your car and drive one hour to Philadelphia's Chinatown or take the train to NYC

OMG! Sun Lok Garden was where I had my first taste of Chinese food more than 25 years ago. I remember being terrified the puupuu platter would set my hair on fire. I'm still in the area but don't head over that way very often. Need to go back and give it another try...

Well, I went back there for the first time in probably 10 years this past weekend and got takeout. The menu has not changed since I was 7 years old. The food was great. I mean, we're not talking upscale stuff here, but the prices were drastically cheap and the food was tasty and satisfying. I had beef and broccoli, the scallion pancake and the won ton soup. The won ton soup was tasty and not at all greasy like it sometimes can be. The beef and broccoli had very nice pieces of beef. The scallion pancake was one of the best I've ever had - crispy and not greasy. And the woman who took my order and rang me up was very nice and personable. It's farther away than at least two other chinese restaurants near me, but that's where I'm going from now on as it is worlds better than those places. Total nostalgia trip for me. My childhood best friend and I used to call it our favorite restaurant ever.

I eneded up eating at sun lok it was okay I had the walnut shrimp. My mother n law had the aloha chix. There's gotta be better though.

Oh yeah. I posted the above mini review under the assumption that you would already have come and gone from the area. Farther away from Yardville, there is definitely better Chinese food in the area. I'm glad I went to Sun Lok as that will be my go-to for ordering takeout, but I usually go someplace like Sunny Garden in Princeton when I go "out" out (a place most people seem to be split on). And posts on here in the past couple of weeks indicate that the Szechuan Garden on Nottingham is fabulous, so I'm looking to try that. Sun Lok is cheap, satisfactory and reliable (considering it seems to be exactly as I remember it from nearly a decade ago), while the other places in my immediate area/radius can be really uneven in the quality of the food they serve. The food in general at Sun Lok is not spectacular (although I did like the scallion pancake a whole bunch) in the way that will have you raving, but you can go there knowing you're going to get a good deal for your money and that it will be pretty yummy. Other places within one or two miles of where I am, not so much.

Heather - I couldn't have said it better myself.

Although I've only been for lunch and only had the lunch specials (ginger chicken and chicken with eggplant are really good), I like Elements Asia on Quakerbridge Road in nearby Lawrenceville.

Elements Asia is the best!
