Great authentic Chinese food. Easily recommend. Can be a bit expensive, but the food is high quality. I recommend the sour pickled spicy beef dish if you wish for something very spicy!

Chef Tan restaurant on Main Street has been a consistent and delicious dining experience for me over the past year. I’ve ordered here at least twice a month, sometimes multiple times a week.

I ordered a delivery from here, the food was nicely packed, looked amazing and got delivered on time. The food was okay, I have had the same dishes from multiple restaurants and some of them were way more delicious than this. The chicken was a bit overly flavored, too much of spice blend and the noodles was fine but you could scoop out oil from the bottom of the container.

Looking for a new place in Newark since some of our favorites have faded.

Ordered takeout through UberEats from Chef Tan and 10/10 would do it again! Finally an authentic Chinese takeout experience! None of your typical Americanized dishes to be found on the menu (which also tend to be quite delicious, but it’s harder to find the authentic stuff around here so this was a gem)! We ordered Beef Rice Noodles, Beef Ribs with Black Pepper, 3 Cup Chicken, and the Dry Pepper Dish. We’d order them all again although our favorite was the Dry Pepper Dish. 🙂

I ordered uber eats. They gave me salad shrimp in my lo mein and charged me almost $13 for it. My husband order was greasy and the pork dumplings was 3 out of 10

Food here was tasteless; very sub-par. The scallion pancakes were drenched in oil. The dumplings were barely sauteed. They gave us soy sauce in a small plastic container, but it was almost empty upon arrival, and tasted like vinegar. Even when ordering, the staff were very short with us. I would not recommend this location.

Food definitely wasn’t as advertised. Ask for spicy fried lamb, definitely not spicy very greasy, soup dumplings, have no flavor definitely not the best.
