I was leery to try them because of the very nonAsian name. But I'm glad I did! They deliver to Maplewood and are pretty good! Everywhere else in the immediate SOMA area has been pretty bad for Chinese. Only tried the spare ribs–good and not totally skimpy on the meat and full of red dye–and the pork fried rice–the small was very filling and tasty. Next time I want to try something else, but if I do get the fried rice again I'm going to size up to a large and fry an egg into the leftovers for breakfast the next morning mmMmmmMMmmMmmMMMMmmm.
It's definitely a strong contender for some of the better Chinese food in the area with some of the places in West Orange. We decided to give it a try after having heard good things about their food and were not disappointed. We walked in not knowing what to order and during the 5 minutes it took us to decide, at least 10 people had come in to pick up there orders. That was a good sign to start it off. Plus the it was very clean, the people friendly and of course the service was quick (all additional pluses in my book). Their menu is decent. It has many of the standard Chinese food options you'd find anywhere. The only drawback is they don't have any dinner combo's available (only available for lunch). It's a little on the pricey side but otherwise a good choice for the area.
After power returning to our area we decided to try this take out establishment while shopping locally and after seeing all the good reviews we were excited for a new Chinese food experience! We ordered chicken with broccoli, orange beef, 2 egg rolls and a wonton soup (other reviews indicated good choices).
I wonder if this was an off week considering the storm? Portions were small and lacked flavor. In fact, the only flavor that wasn't lacking was the overwhelming taste of rancid oil.
However staff was friendly and warm.
Although their name would never indicate as such, Bill & Harry's is actually a pretty solid and reliable take-out only Chinese restaurant. Unfortunately, there is a serious dearth of quality Chinese food spots in the SOMA area (that's South Orange/Maplewood, for all those not in the know), so when I discovered B&H, I was pleased. Don't be fooled, there is nothing fancy about this place or their food, but like I said, it's solid. You need dumplings? No prob. Cold sesame noodles? Got you. Beef or chicken with broccoli? General Tso's? Moo Shu Pork? Fuggetaboutit! All the usual suspects and repeat offenders of the Americanized Chinese food syndicate are here.
If you are a Chinese food snob or have a specific palate for it only (Cantonese, Hunan, Szechuan, etc.), you may be disappointed here. However, if you just need a fix, they've got you covered.
