Updated September 6, 2026. Denville’s best known restaurant is a Chinese one, and you can see it from Bloomfield Avenue: Hunan Taste is built as an ancient Chinese style pagoda and has been there since 1986. Behind that landmark the town carries a full spread of Chinese, Japanese, Thai and vegetarian Asian kitchens, most of them within a few minutes of downtown. This is the Denville Now guide to Chinese food and the wider Asian restaurant scene in Denville, kept current as places open and close.
Chinese
- Hunan Taste, 67 Bloomfield Avenue, (973) 625-2782. The Denville landmark. The Hsiung family opened it in 1986 inside a former roller skating rink and rebuilt the building as an ancient Chinese style pagoda, which is why it is impossible to miss. Full service dining with a bar, three private rooms seating anywhere from 8 to 60 people, and takeout. Closed Mondays.
- China One, 12 Station Road, (973) 983-0909. Chinese American takeout and delivery counter by the Denville train station. The commuter option.
- Oriental Express, 29 Broadway, (973) 627-9188. Downtown Chinese takeout and delivery, in the same Broadway strip as Dante’s.
Vegetarian
- Veggie Heaven, 57 Bloomfield Avenue, (973) 586-7800. An all vegetarian Asian kitchen a few doors from Hunan Taste, where the meat dishes are built from soy protein, mushroom or wheat gluten, with no MSG and no dairy. Table service plus takeout and delivery. It is the answer in Denville when half the table does not eat meat.
Japanese and sushi
- Sogo Hibachi Grill and Sushi Lounge, 248 Route 46 West, (973) 784-4981. The hibachi house in Denville. Teppanyaki tables plus a sushi lounge, dinner only, and the place people book for a birthday.

- Sushi A and C, 490 East Main Street, (973) 784-4918. Formerly Sushi and Go. A takeout leaning sushi and Japanese counter on the East Main strip. Closed Sundays.
