Tung Tin Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in South Orange

Updated review: I had a really bad experiece on Tuesday feb.18. I ordered a tofu with mixed veggies,(a dish that ive ordered at least 30 times in the past few years) it was soggy, over cooked and had what looked like rat poo in the mixed vegetables. Im shocked. I am unsure if I will revisit this place again. I will post a review if I do. I will be trying to find another Chinese place

(2024 review 5 stars) 6 stars honestly. Im so happy this place has remained consistent from when I first discovered it, during covid.

This is my go to place for Chinese, they are fast and their food is fresh. I've never had a bad food experience and they've never appeared annoyed with me or any customer. Will continue to come here as long as I desire...

The take out food taste was a cut above the other Chinese take outs around the area. The fried rice and Singapore rice noodles were soggy and it would be great if the rice and noodles were dried off in the freezer before recooking. Otherwise the food tastes were great. We ordered the family meal . Order the four entrees, add a side of noodles or fried rice instead of choosing them as entree dished. Family menu with 4 entrees (($29.99) with a side of fried rice was sufficient to feed 5 or 6 person . Food rated at 4.0, service ...
