We have tons of Indo-Chinese places in NJ, a few are a lot nicer than Nan King (like Mings in Morristown), but still, perhaps the most unhealthy restaurant fare available. This is a nice site, but you really need to keep a watch on calories here too. Like Bill Maher said, "What's killing people in this country is lunch". Oily and over rated.

Anyway, I think its a love it/hate it proposition, but Chili Chicken is one of my favorite dishes.... I was of the impression that Nanking was an Indian-Chinese place (not Thai/Chinese).

I guess if Bombay had a Wu Liang Ye, Nanking would be it.

The food was neither Chinese nor Thai. I can only assume it's an estimation of East Asian food because the staff and the patrons were all of Indian decent. My husband actually laughed at our dishes after the waiter set them down. Needless to say, we haven't been back since. I live in Jersey City, and tried Nanking when we were househunting.

The food is good (Chicken HK style), but the price is ridiculous and the wait is interminable (ok, nearly 30 minutes) for take-out. I literally saw 4 ppl that order take out after me get their order b4 I got mines. Either they screwed up or the Chicken HK style really takes that long to make.
