Edison Wok

My favorite take out Chinese in Edison… not to be confused with dine in. The family that runs the restaurant is very pleasant and the food is fresh. Easily the best Chinese in a 5 mile radius. Give it a try, you’ll be satisfied.

My first time here the food was bomb I have the chicken with garlic sauce, and their family are so friendly to me. Everything in there was sooooooo good!

Just absolute horrible service. Ordered twice first time over an hour to get here. The 2^nd time yesterday after over an hour waiting and numerous calls — the drivers car «broke down». And then offered nothing to make the situation better in fact hung up on me after I called the last time. Super messed up !!!

Ordered boneless spare ribs with fried rice. Horrible. The meat was tough and the rice had some kind of nasty after taste. Oh and they gave me an expired soda !

Still great foods eventhough taking over by new owner. I have been a regular customer for almost 20 years. Also a plus, the lady who is in register has very good attitude. Please, keep it that way.

Since it was taken over by new owners the food has actually gotten even better. Very friendly and easy to understand.

I’ve been coming here for years. The owners are nice and know me by face now. The food portions are large and tastes great too.

It seemed like after everything we ate, my wife and I looked at each other and said «pretty good.» The general tso’s had a lot of very sweet sauce. The dumplings were falling apart, but the sauce was good. The bbq ribs looked great, very big, but had a lot of fat on them.
The egg rolls were huge, but very greasy. The lo mein was good, as was the chicken chow fun, but both could have used a bit more sauce and flavor. Like I said, it was «pretty good.»
Overall, this place made us a ton of food for not a lot of money. The inside is a mess, this is a take out only type place. The girl at the front counter definitely seemed pissed, but my guess it’s from dealing with drunk and high college kids calling in orders all day. I had a suit on and she treated me fine, just yelled at the cooks and people on the phone that could not answer «what kind of rice you want?» after she said it 4 times.
Also, head up… NO AMMEX

This place is horrible! Food okay but service is horrendous! Girl that answers the phone is so Rude we stopped ordering from there

I have been coming here from last 12 years when the girl and the boy where really girl and boy. Yes, they are some time in bad mood (well most of the time), food quality has gone down in last five or so years BUT STILL FIVE STAR the reason is when my wife was pregnant with my second child she craved for some chines food she order and went to pick up (yes you know where I am going with this but don’t get ahead of me) she forgot money home, she thought he won’t give the food BUT BUT to I and her (my wife) was surprise when they gave her food and said its ok you can give money afterwards. Please let me remind you it was the same girl. Now for food I eat couple of things from them like rice, noodles and chicken they are good for that ohh yea egg drop soup and egg roll.

Best orange chicken ever. I’m from Los Angeles ca. I’m a truck driver. I hit a lot of spots. but this one is the best…

Ate here last night. The food was very good, exceptionally better and more fresh than what I had anticipated. It looked like only the husband and wife were working. He had a lil difficulty understanding me so I just pointed to what I wanted on the menu. The dumplings were quite good and shrimp with Chinese veggies was very good too. I’d eat here again too.

I live close and never went here bc I just don’t eat Chinese food much. Recently decided to try it when a friend and I didn’t feel like leaving for dinner. Called and just got a «hello». So I asked «is this Edison Wok?» since I thought misdialed, for obvious reasons, and I got a «yea». Hmmm. At any rate I didn’t order bc they didn’t have delivery that day. A couple months later I call and order and it goes better, but there is still a feeling on the phone that the girl answering the phone is pissed at being at work. She was equally uninterested when I came to pick up my order. So, awful «customer service» here. The food was okay, on par with any other Chinese take out place.

Delicious, solid Chinese spot, in an area that desperately needs it. Edison Wok is smack in the middle of a weird strip mall by Middlesex County College, and my house. I thought it to be just a dumpy regular quick order and go type of place, but I was surprised by the quality of the food here. Nothing tasted frozen or funny, and the lunch specials are quite affordable (and big portions too!).
This is a family owned establishment, and often the younger late teen/​early twenties daughters take the orders and fry up some stuff sometimes, and the mom and others cook mostly. I can dig that, and I can taste the unity in the flavors of the food.
My favorites from here are the boneless rib tips (not as greasy and saucy as other restaurants’), the chicken in garlic sauce, and beef and broccoli. The broccoli is sooo tender and yummy, soaked in that beefy flavored juice… ugh…if only they were open 24/​7, I could use some right now.
If you live in the area or go to MCC across the way, you can even enjoy your meal right there. at one of the tables. It was weird to see bunches of people flock into my «unknown» Chinese restaurant like it was the toast of the town. Maybe it is.

2÷28÷13 — UPDATE: I wanted to give an update and upgrade my rating from 4 stars to 5. In the past several months they forgot my beloved spring rolls twice, I never mentioned it when ordering the next time, even though I should have and it happen twice — but low and behold, the next time I went in they remembered that they forgot my springrolls, and didn’t charge me the next two times. It’s great that they remember the regulars, and are honest when they know they forgot something on your order. I was really impressed and that will keep me going back!
When I moved to the area about 6 years ago I was glad there was a take out place so close. The food is very fresh… I always see the mom? Preparing fresh veggies when I’m in there. I’ve never been disappointed by anything. Their spring rolls are big and delicious! Egg drop soup is the best in the area for take out. The young ladies that work there are characters. Tough cookies and quite a bit of attitude but don’t let that get to you. I actually get a smile out of them now. I would recommend!

The food here is pretty good — I liked everything I’ve ordered, and the portions and meat to veggie ratio is decent. Prices are reasonable as well. The only critique I have is about customer service — this seems like a family business, and the daughter (I’m assuming) that works at the counter looks and acts like she doesn’t give two hoots about you or her family’s livelihood. She’s a little rude and would obviously rather be hanging out with her friends or something. Overall when I’ve called, I get kind of a «whatever» attitude which I guess isn’t a dealbreaker — but c’mon! My friend who also orders from here told me that they asked if he wanted to wait on an order because they were cleaning the kitchen. MMMkay.
Anyway, bottom line is food quality and price are good so it’s worth it.
