Ways to make a meal.
A named Vegetarian Menu meal
Choose vegetable dumplings and vegetarian cold noodles with a named vegetarian fried-rice option. Confirm ingredients in the vegetarian meat substitutes, the current Sunday opening time and the delivery service shown by the new ordering site.
Choose Wok Glazed Ginger Duck with the named tofu lettuce wraps, or compare Sichuan Dumpling with its explicit pork, shrimp and peanut description. Use the selected pickup menu amounts and confirm the conflicting website hours.
The operator explicitly identifies this East Hanover branch as Yunnan-style. Compare original cross-bridge rice noodles and tomato fish noodles; check broth ingredients and stock, and confirm the earlier 7:15 PM Friday ordering cutoff.
China Garden’s operator menu identifies the East Mount Pleasant Avenue branch. Its menu offers seafood pan-fried thin noodles, steamed dumplings and a Vegetables section with vegetable moo shu and bean curd dishes.
Build an order. Choose 53. Seafood Pan Fried Thin Noodle with 19. Steamed Dumplings (8), or the named 64. Moo Shu Veg., served with five pancakes and no rice. 63. Bean Curd Home Style and 58. Dry Sautéed String Beans are named vegetable options. The generic shrimp dumplings have separate steamed and fried choices; their wrapper format is not specified.
Before you go. The operator lists Mon closed, Tue–Thu and Sun 11 AM–9:30 PM, and Fri–Sat 11 AM–10:30 PM. Its delivery page states a four-mile radius, $15 minimum and $3 fee. A notice adds a 3% fee for non-cash payment. Confirm delivery coverage, fees and the current ordering cutoff.
53. Seafood Pan Fried Thin Noodle $20.50 · 19. Steamed Dumplings (8) $8.95 · 64. Moo Shu Veg. $11.95

Oriental Kitchen’s operator pages verify Suite 3 on South Livingston Avenue. The readable menu separates sweet-and-pungent shrimp, pork and chicken from vegetable moo shu, scallion pancakes and a range of named vegetable dishes.
Build an order. Choose 106. Sweet & Pungent Shrimp with 125. Moo Shu Vegetables and 17. Scallion Pancakes (2). The moo shu label says four pancakes. The menu also names vegetable dumplings and tofu dishes. 7. Dem Sem (4) $6.50 and 9. Shrimp Dumplings (8) $8.50 are literal labels without enough category detail to identify siu mai or har gow.
Before you go. The operator lists Tue closed, Mon and Wed–Sat 11:15 AM–9:30 PM, and Sun 12:15 PM–9:30 PM. The rendered ordering menu displayed Pick up and no delivery option. Confirm the current pickup window and preparation choices; the menu says extra requests may incur a separate charge.

Peking’s older operator site points explicitly to its new ordering website. The matching Suite 1 page has a separate Vegetarian Menu naming vegetable dumplings, vegetarian cold noodles, vegetable wonton soup and vegetarian fried-rice options.
Build an order. Choose 5. Vegetable Dumpling and 3. Vegetarian Cold Noodle with Sesame Sauce, with 16. Vegetarian Beef Fried Rice as another named Vegetarian Menu option. The ingredients in the vegetarian meat substitutes are not stated, so confirm them directly. The All Day menu’s 8. Dim Sum $7.50 is generic and does not identify a dumpling category or count.
Before you go. The older operator homepage lists Mon–Sat 11 AM–9 PM and Sun 4–9 PM. It says Pickup Only, while its newly linked ordering page displays Pickup about 15 minutes and Delivery about 60 minutes. Further public Store Information expansion did not complete; confirm current hours and delivery coverage by phone.

Soy & Ginger’s own site, printed PDF and linked ordering menu match the East Mount Pleasant Avenue branch. Its menu puts ginger duck and Sichuan dumplings alongside tofu lettuce wraps and a South East Asia section.
Build an order. Choose Wok Glazed Ginger Duck with Sichuan Dumpling, which the menu describes with pork, shrimp, peanut butter crème, shallot sesame and sambal oil. Tofu Lettuce Wrap and Buddhist Delight are named vegetable choices. Sambal Delight explicitly uses Indonesian shrimp paste. Crystal Shrimp Dumpling $9.50 has no count or explicit har-gow name; Dim Sum Sampler $13.95 is an assortment.
Before you go. The linked PDF lists Mon closed, Tue–Thu 11 AM–9 PM, Fri 11 AM–9:30 PM, Sat noon–9:30 PM and Sun noon–9 PM. Homepage hours instead print 11pm opening on Tue–Sat. The linked ordering page showed Friday pickup 11 AM–9:30 PM and Delivery Not Available; its Monday lunch banner conflicts with the Monday-closed notice. Confirm hours and service.

This is an explicitly outside-Livingston choice in East Hanover. The operator calls the restaurant Yunnan-style and locates it at the corner of Kam Man Market, with cross-bridge rice noodles and named broth choices.
Build an order. Choose A1.Original CrossBridge Rice Noodle $13.99+ or A5.Tomato Soup Rice Noodle w.Fish Fillet $14.99+, both displayed as starting amounts, and add B2.Spiced Beef Shank as a separately priced dish. The menu has bone-base, spicy, hot-and-sour and mushroom soup sections, but those names do not establish vegetarian broth. Several other items are marked Sold Out; confirm stock before ordering.
Before you go. The operator lists Mon–Sat 11 AM–7:30 PM and Sun 11:30 AM–7:30 PM. MealKeyway displayed pickup starting October 9 at 11 AM and a Friday ordering window of 11 AM–7:15 PM.

Spicy Chef is the second explicitly outside-Livingston choice in East Hanover. Its operator-linked menu separates Sichuan specialties, Hunan specialties, Hunan steam dishes and a Dim Sum section, giving a regional meal distinct from the township takeout menus.
Build an order. Choose H5.Braised Pork in Mao's Style with the named soup dumplings and pork-and-shrimp shui mai. Other literal amounts are chicken soup dumpling $12.95 · X4.Crab Meat Soup Dumpling $12.95 · sticky rice shumai(4) $8.95 · Jumbo Shrimp Shui Mai(4) $11.95 · Chicken Shui Mai(4) $7.50.

Before you go. The operator contact page lists Mon–Thu 11:30 AM–9:30 PM, Fri 11:30 AM–10 PM, Sat noon–10 PM and Sun noon–9:30 PM. MealKeyway displayed Friday ordering hours 11:30 AM–9:15 PM and a Pickup control. Some items were Sold Out.

Four branches print Livingston addresses: two on East Mount Pleasant Avenue and two on South Livingston Avenue. Ten Seconds Yunnan Rice Noodle at 200 NJ-10 and Spicy Chef at 249 NJ-10 East are explicitly outside-Livingston choices in East Hanover.
Which menus identify dumpling styles?
Spicy Chef’s East Hanover menu names soup dumplings, sticky-rice shumai, pork-and-shrimp shui mai, jumbo shrimp shui mai and chicken shui mai. Several Livingston menus use generic dim sum or shrimp-dumpling labels without enough format detail to identify har gow or siu mai.
Which dishes are vegetarian-relevant?
Peking has a separate named Vegetarian Menu with vegetable dumplings, vegetarian cold noodles and vegetarian fried-rice labels. China Garden names vegetable moo shu and bean curd home style; Oriental Kitchen names vegetable moo shu. Soy & Ginger names tofu lettuce wraps, while Spicy Chef names vegetarian string beans and cumin tofu. Confirm sauces and ingredients, including vegetarian meat substitutes; broth names alone do not establish meat-free soup.
What regional meals are represented?
Ten Seconds explicitly describes Yunnan-style cross-bridge rice noodles. Spicy Chef separates named Hunan and Sichuan sections, including Braised Pork in Mao’s Style. Soy & Ginger has a South East Asia section and explicitly describes Indonesian shrimp paste in Sambal Delight.
How do hours, ordering and delivery differ?
Each record names its selected price channel. Peking’s older homepage says pickup only while its new operator-linked menu displays delivery. Soy & Ginger’s PDF advertises platforms, but its own ordering menu marks delivery unavailable and its homepage hours contain conflicting AM/PM text. The East Hanover menus have shorter Friday ordering windows than the operator business hours. China Garden states delivery radius, minimum and fee; confirm current coverage and any extra charges.
