I have eaten here many times, but after my last experience, will never go back. I was shocked at how we were treated by the manager/owner. We had made reservations for New Years Eve. When we arrived, we were told it would be 10 minutes. 10 minutes later, we were told 10 to 15 more minutes. Others with reservations appeared to be having the same experience. Obviously, the fact that we made reservations earlier in the day meant nothing. After waiting as long as we could (we had two toddlers who could not wait any longer to eat) we left, obviously never having been seated. On the way out, I mentioned to the owner/manager that the next time they take a reservation, they should honor the reservation as well. His response: "The next time you call to make reservations, if I know it is you, I wont accept it." Wow - definitely something you should never say to a customer. Needless to say we wont be coming here again, and I suggest you avoid this place as well. Not worth your money or time.

I grew up in NYC so Ive eaten in all kinds of Chinese food places through the years, from cheap to fancy. This place is in the middle - better than average and good quality. Ive only eaten in twice, but ordered take out a dozen times in the past 5 years and never had a problem, theyre always polite. The two times I ate in, they were friendly. One time the food came a bit slowly, but if youre in good company, you can sit and shoot the breeze, which is what we did. Ive always enjoyed the food, which is tasty. Its the best Chinese food for miles around, I wont eat at any of the other places, and now that we moved to PA, I still wont. For Chinese food in this area, to me its either Chun Bos or else its not worth eating - I learned that the hard way - a few places we tried were no good, not even to satisfy a craving for cheap Chinese food - Im not TOO picky but I dont enjoy poor quality, greasy food cooked in rancid oil. You will NOT get that garbage at Chun Bos, ever.

I had stopped here with my two kids on the way to a doctors appointment. The food was good, I have had better, but for the price It was of good quality. What I liked most was the environment and dinning experience had a authentic feel. The exterior is deceiving, inside is a surprisingly authentic, upscale Asian restaurant. I will definitely return with the hubby for a date night. One thing I didnt like was that some of the wait staff was a little to "serious " they could be more lively and welcoming. There was one waiter whom was totally different, I think he may have been new. He was great with serving the kids, although he didnt speak alot of English you could tell he was trying very hard. Overall it was a nice place and I will come back and dine in again.

So my wife and I had driven past this place many times and finally decided to try it. We were a bit turned off upon entering because the parking lot was incredibly confusing and tight to navigate and the hostess was inattentive and unfriendly. She made us wait for what seemed like no reason while she prepared drinks for other guests and then finally came back to us about 5 minutes later to seat us. Thankfully our waiter was incredibly friendly (think the uncle you wish you had around on Christmas to dote gifts on you). Yep, he was that awesome. And the food was good! Reasonably priced too. So if you can survive the parking lot and hostess we suggest you try it. Not the sushi though. They still need to work on that.

Quality ingredients, correctly prepared: really, what more can you ask for? Pricing is the same or less than the sketchy "fast food" Chinese places and my wife, who spent three years in China on business, asked them to make a particular Hunan-style dish and, guess what? they made it! Its good stuff and whether you sit down in the totally retro (that is, evoking 1950s Brooklyn Chinese restaurant decor, but totally clean and actually up-to-date) and spacious dining room or order to take out, I cant imagine youd be disappointed with anything on the menu. The waitstaff is really classy and the tea is SUPER. You know what? Im done with this review and Im heading over there RIGHT NOW! You should, too!

This is an okay Chinese restaurant. I cant say its "good", and calling it "bad" would be too harsh. Its just okay. Their hot and sour soup is bad. And a hot and sour soup is the number one item that I use to judge the quality of a Chinese restaurant. Everything Ive tried here (and Ive tried a lot) is mediocre. "Wow, this is interesting" is something Ive never said while tasting any dish from Chun Bo. I dont have a good alternate recommendation for you. I dont think good Chinese food exists anywhere in Sussex County. I just wish these guys tried harder.

Weve been going to Chun Bo for many years and the food is still excellent. This is due because it has had the same owner for over 10 years! The staff was also very helpful and welcoming. You can order take-out or dine in. I usually get take-out it is very quick and speedy. During holidays my family likes to all get together and have a great dine in experience at Chun Bo

A wonderful place !I have been here many times during this summer,as the foods here can make me think of the taste in china. Especially the scallion pancake and the spring roll. The servers here are also very nice and patient. By the way, the prices are also cheaper than most of the Chinese restaurant. Maybe the best chinese restaurant that i have been in NY and NJ

Probably the best Chinese restaurant in this area. it can get busy, and, sometimes the service can be spotty, but they get your order to you, and the food is decent. NOTE: If you like "Spicy," and you REALLY want spicy, order a little dish of hot oil with your food. "Spicy" is something they dont always get right.

Our server was awful and rushed us throughout the entire experience. He felt the need to keep reminding us that the restaurant was closing at 10 and even mumbled a complaint when we ordered another round of drinks. The food was good but the service was awful enough that we wont be returning .Stars for food only.

My husband and I have been to Chun Bo about 3 or 4 times with different friends or family and each time we loved it. The place is clean and has a nice atmostphere, the service is quick, the food is delicious, and the prices are very reasonable. We will definitely go back and recommend this place to all.

Been there once since I moved to the area a year ago and would not go back. Waiter/Waitress was rude, waited over 1/2 hour to be served (when only a handful of customers) and the food was extremely greasy. To the point of dipping it dry with a napkin.

We eat here regularly and enjoy the food immensely. The service is good and the ambiance is great. Ive started eating the teriyaki food and it is equally as good as a Chinese. The prices of very reasonable and the quality of food his excellent.
