Noodle's Time's site prints 1803 Lincoln Highway, Edison, NJ 08817 and the pickup menu is regional: Guilin, Liuzhou and Nanning rice noodles in broth, a cold-dish and marinated-plate section, and sandwiches.

All Blue's own site gives 561 US Route 1, Edison, NJ 08817 and shows Sichuan Boiled Fish as its gallery dish.

The site's reservation page says to book at least a week ahead for window seating and that groups of 10+ should use its Events page. That page prints a (415) number that matches neither the home page nor the contact page, so the booking form was not used; call 732-532-3224.

Operator menu page for Xie Bao with the Edison location selected, read 2026-10-01.

Edison Noodle House's own site describes Taiwanese Chinese cuisine at 1871 NJ-27, Edison, NJ 08817. The menu runs side dishes, appetizers, soups, rice plates, noodle soups, stir-fries, vegetables, tofu and combos, so it covers a Taiwanese meal that none of the other six picks do.

Festival Plaza (Lincoln Highway / Route 27, 1700-1800 block)
Festival Plaza's own site gives 1711-1783 Lincoln Hwy, Edison, NJ 08817 and lists restaurants including Tasty Moment Chinese Cuisine & Dim Sum, Happy Lamb Hot Pot and DunHuang Lanzhou Beef Noodle. Xie Bao's site puts its Edison restaurant on the second floor, above Mango Mango, at 1783 Lincoln Highway. Xie Bao is the one pick in this guide inside the plaza.
Noodle's Time prints 1803 Lincoln Highway and Edison Noodle House prints 1871 NJ-27, both ZIP 08817, a few hundred street numbers from Festival Plaza on the same road. One is a Guangxi rice-noodle shop and the other a Taiwanese menu, so they are different meals despite the shared road.
New Wonder Seafood prints 1984 State Route 27 and China Chef prints 2060 NJ-27, both ZIP 08817. This stretch is the Cantonese dim sum and Chinese-American takeout end of the guide; the street numbers run higher than the Lincoln Highway picks on the same road.
Authentic Shang Hai Dumpling prints 879 US-1 and All Blue Chinese Cuisine prints 561 US Route 1, both Edison, NJ 08817. Wikipedia says Route 1 passes through the township and that Menlo Park Mall sits at Route 1 and Parsonage Road; neither operator prints a Menlo Park address, so this guide does not label these two as Menlo Park.
Edison has no named Chinatown district in the sources read for this guide. Wikipedia's Edison article says, in its Oak Tree Road paragraph, that the strip is near the area's sprawling Chinatown and Koreatown, without naming where. The article's Chinese community section says the township has a significant Chinese population, Chinese-language schools and cultural associations, and names Kam Man Food, 99 Ranch Market and H Mart among Chinese food and grocery businesses near the Highland Park and Livingston Campus borders. Its Oak Tree Road section otherwise describes a South Asian commercial strip along Route 27 in Edison and Iselin, so Oak Tree Road is not where this guide's Chinese kitchens are. The restaurants here print addresses on Lincoln Highway (Route 27), including Festival Plaza at 1711-1783 Lincoln Hwy, and on Route 1. Festival Plaza's directory lists Tasty Moment Chinese Cuisine & Dim Sum, Happy Lamb Hot Pot and DunHuang Lanzhou Beef Noodle.
Where can I get dim sum in Edison?
New Wonder Seafood at 1984 State Route 27 lists dim sum in five price tiers on Chowbus, from $4.95 to $13.95, and its site lists Monday-Friday 11:00 AM-9:30 PM and Saturday-Sunday 10:00 AM-9:30 PM. Authentic Shang Hai Dumpling at 879 US-1 has a Shanghai's Dim Sum section with Pork Steam Juicy Buns (6) at $8.95 and Shrimp Dumplings (6) at $6.95, Thursday-Tuesday 11:30 AM-9:30 PM. Xie Bao at 1783 Lincoln Highway lists Crab Roe Soup Dumplings x6 at $19.55. Tasty Moment is listed in Festival Plaza's directory as Chinese Cuisine & Dim Sum, but its own site returned a security check on 2026-10-01 and no menu was read, so it is not in the guide.
Where is Sichuan food in Edison?
All Blue Chinese Cuisine at 561 US Route 1 is the Sichuan kitchen in this guide: its order.online menu lists Dan Dan Noodle at $14.39, Pork Dumplings at $10.79, Double Cooked Pork Slices at $20.39 and Eggplant In Spicy Garlic Sauce at $16.79, and its site shows Sichuan Boiled Fish. Edison Noodle House at 1871 NJ-27 is a Taiwanese menu that also lists Mapo Tofu, Sliced Fish in Hot Chili Sauce and a Spicy Pot. Happy Lamb Hot Pot sits in Festival Plaza but its operator pages gave no menu or hours, so no hot pot is listed.
Which Edison Chinese restaurants are on Route 1, Route 27 and Menlo Park?
On Route 1: Authentic Shang Hai Dumpling (879 US-1) and All Blue Chinese Cuisine (561 US Route 1). On Route 27 (Lincoln Highway): Xie Bao (1783), Noodle's Time (1803), Edison Noodle House (1871), New Wonder Seafood (1984) and China Chef (2060). Wikipedia says Menlo Park is a section of Edison Township and that Menlo Park Mall is at Route 1 and Parsonage Road. No operator in this guide prints a Menlo Park address, so none is labeled Menlo Park. The Route 1 and Route 27 picks are on different roads.
Which of these Edison Chinese restaurants deliver?
On 2026-10-01, China Chef's own Delivery Info page lists a 3 mile radius, a $20 minimum and fees of $2.99 up to 2 miles and $3.99 up to 3 miles. New Wonder Seafood's site links Chowbus, HungryPanda, Fantuan, Uber Eats and Grubhub, Xie Bao and Edison Noodle House show DoorDash and platform delivery tabs, and platform prices run higher than the operator's (Edison Noodle House Braised Pork Rice is $9.99 on its own page and $11.50 on DoorDash). Authentic Shang Hai Dumpling, Noodle's Time and All Blue list pickup only on their operator pages.
