I must have missed this place because I didn't see it on Door Dash and other apps, but they do delivery themselves, and are open fairly late, so we gave it a try. So far, everything we had is absolutely top-notch! By far the best Chinese restaurant that delivers in this area.

We had a very tasty lunch here. The Cantonese noodle bowl with skinny noodles was humongous. The broth was fragrant and tasty and contained big dumplings, tender chicken, and very fresh bok choy. My Thai basil chicken dish had a delicious sauce and the pork fried rice was really tasty. We came when it was quiet and the staff was really friendly and attentive.
My daughter wants to come back here for her birthday!

Pink Lotus is my go-to for Chinese, and has been for several years. The food is always great, and the customer service is fantastic. They are always accurate and accommodate special requests.

I am a frequent customer of Pink Lotus and love the food and the curbside pick is fast. You can have your order customized to your taste. Order from the chef's special and you will love the food.
Support our local Metuchen business.

Dropped by to see their Chinese food options. Tried Mapo tofu and thought it was okay.
They have a nice interior for seating.
Looks like it may be worth visiting if you like Cantonese style dishes (though I don’t tend to eat as much due to shellfish issue).

You can really tell the difference with this place! Ingredients were super fresh. I would definitely order the chicken and "broccoli" bok choy and the scallion pancakes. Both dishes were so good and did not make me feel that typical chinese food sick after!!

Beautiful day so I ordered shrimp egg foo yung and veggie rice. I get soy sauce for gravy No did not like that. All other Chinese places give you brown gravy. Well I just found out that Cantonese gives you soy sauce ugg. Also she gave me shrimp & rice instead of what I ordered!! I called back and she would not admit a mistake but told me to try it everybody else likes it!! Well I won’t be going back there.

We get takeout from Pink Lotus every other week. It’s always hot and tastes good. Sometimes, there can be a long wait - but it must be on days that everybody wants Chinese food. Try it out sometime - we’ve never had a bad entree!

A great spot! The steamed dumplings were homemade and awesome! I ordered the House Special Chow Fun, it was charred nicely with lots of shrimp, chicken and seasoned pork. The Kung Pao chicken was also outstanding with lots of veggies, juicy chicken and just the right amount of heat. (And... no schichuan peppercorns!!! If you live in Edison, you probably understand 🙂). The ingredients were fresh and the portions were large for the price. Our server was friendly and attentive. Looking forward to going back again.

Tried and true take out spot. Serve some of the best Chinese american/canto food in jersey. Super sad they moved further north but still make the 30 min trek up to metuchen to pick up that wok hei filled chow fen and melt in your mouth niu nan luo buo.

Loved everything. Wonton soup was perfect, not salty at all. Pan fried dumplings were the best I've ever had. The mei fun wasn't greasy or oily. Can't wait to. One back and eat here! Service was great. We felt like we were family.

Long time favorite of mine since it was Yaos restaurant. Reliably huge portions of general tso. Warm hostess/owner who always makes people feel welcome.

Try to order over the phone if you can- has a chat and it sounds like it's hard for them to make profits on our orders when a third of it goes straight to grubhub.

My family and I ate here for takeout and the food was delicious! The mango chicken was plenty flavorful and the Mongolian beef was spot on! The Mei Fun and the boneless ribs also had great taste, the latter not too fatty. They also give generous portions! My father tried their egg drop soup with wonton and he seemed really taken with it.

I would like to go back and try their duck and another noodle dish.

Pink Lotus is a reliable local spot. I always get the pan-fried dumplings. Their chicken dishes are especially good and always have generously sized, fresh pieces of chicken. I've had less luck with noodle dishes, which have been on the dry side and bland, but that's not a dealbreaker for me - lots of other things to order.

They always deliver quickly and the delivery person is so kind and friendly.

When I saw this place reopened after being closed for COVID, I could not wait to try their food.
I'm so happy I did because their food is amazing!!!
Amazing enough that I drive 20+ mins there and another 20* back for Chinese food.
My go to is their beef dishes (I had crispy beef and Mongolian beef). Their vegetable dumplings in the "hot" peanut sauce. Wish they didnt call them hot because there is zero spice! Their combos come with soup (wonton is amazing).
My husband says their roast pork lo mein is super. I also tried RP Mei Fun.
Nothing like authentic genuine "real"

Pretty good Chinese restaurant. The workers were very sweet and attentive to guests and the inside was beautiful. I LOVED the spring rolls. Very fresh and absolutely delicious. I got veggie lo mein which was pretty good but a little too bland, I had to add a bunch of soy sauce. Overall though I would surely come back, lovely restaurant and such nice people!

As seen in the photo left to right: We got Szechuan chicken, a large order of pork fried rice and sesame chicken. Not pictured is the pan fried pork dumplings.
Everything was pretty good, my favorite thing is honestly the pork fried rice. Staff was very attentive, as we were one of the few people in there at like 8:30pm on a weeknight! Haha our waters never went more than halfway down cause they kept coming to fill it back up. So nice! My only criticism is that the tea given to us in the beginning tasted burnt, like maybe it steeped too long or something, I'm unsure. We'll be back for sure though

Having late lunch here with family.
I ordered Fish Fillet in Black Bean sauce.
My daughter ordered Tofu and Eggplant in garlic sauce.

Fish fillet is soft and moist. The black bean sauce is not salty, just about right. The veggies were sautéed well. It taste delicious.
