The Best Chinese Food in Monmouth County

You may be asking yourself, "isn't all Chinese food the same?" I'd respectfully disagree.

Lucky for us, we are surrounded by establishments that serve traditional favorites and dishes that wow the eyes and the taste buds.

I was surprised when asking around just how far some will travel to get to some of these restaurants because they were just that good.

A quick aside. I've come to learn that not only is it hard to find good pizza outside of the area, but it's also difficult to find decent Chinese food outside of the New Jersey/New York area. You learn something new every day.
