Amin’s Fongyip Chinese Muslim Restaurant

My boyfriend convinced me to go here again after I stopped for 10 years (was not eating Chinese food as much and I moved from the area for a bit). The food has definitely improved. The shrimp roll oozes with garlic (so good)! I give 4 stars because of the area and they don’t accept debit/​credit cards. Overall, amazing food.

This is my favorite Chinese food place! 1. Because it is Halal, and Im still not eating pork. 2. The food is so good! I’ve yet to have something that I did not enjoy. The place does have about two or three booths but I would not not advise using it a sitting area to eat my food after purchased. It is definitely a take out restaurant. Area is a little sketchy as all good food comes from, lol. So in Newark? Passing through? Stop by and grab something to go. Literally at the side of 78.

great food, nice people, halal and would definitely recommend.
area is sketchy and needs AC desperately.

Amin’s has some the best, clean, halal food around. I’d give them 5 stars for food alone! But the service, it’s always shaky. It depends on what kind of mood they’re in. They have their rude moments in how they deal with customers and they have their shockingly good moods some days as well. So the 4 stars are because the service isn’t consistent and while i don’t go all of the time, I’ve gone frequently enough to notice that they continuously go up on their prices… a quarter here, 50 cents there. I think that’s ridiculous! Especially knowing they don’t deliver. Ever! Other than that, the food is always on point!

good food, but the area not so good, not so safe at night

Ok! Now I’ve seen it all. Halal Chinese food and I have to say this is the best Chinese food that I have had in along time. The wings are huge and fresh. The food is cooked to order and not precooked like some of the Chinese restaurants do with their Chinese rice. Mind you this is halal and according to the Islamic law it has to not only be slaughtered a certain kind of way it also can’t be raised or feed any impurities (steroids and what have you). I recommend the wings and the egg foo yung which is «slamming». Everything is packed full of flavor and absolutely delicious. Amina has several locations throughout central jersey. You can’t fail with it.

The 3 stars is strictly for the food and in no way shape or form relates to the environment or customer service.
My favorite take-​out Halaal Chinese Restaurant. Now that does not mean its the best chinese food ever tasted, just the best halaal one I’ve tried. Its better than the one downtown Newark, that seems to always be closed down due to failed inspections.
This is NOT a safe neighborhood. Order your food ahead, and bring your bulletproof vest. Actually its best to bring at least 2 people. One to get the food and one to sit in the car and keep it safe. I suggest you send a man in the store and not a woman, unless you enjoy cat calls from the reprobates and undesirables.
If you are feeling charitable bring some spare change for the panhandlers and junkies.
–2 stars location and atmosphere (yes, negative 2)
3 stars for food
