That said, why single out Denville as the place to be specifically because of a Chinese restaurant? That does not make sense.
Thanks all for the help. Especially the stats on usa.com.
The well known restaurant was just anecdotal, but it was a prominent town feature since I've been researching from afar. I'm more interested in Denville & nearby because of the lake communities, location near family and transportation links. So much thanks for the pointers to Parsippany.

The reason probably singled out Denville, is because there is a famous Chinese Restaurant there. The restaurant is regularly in the news, media for their ambience and food.

Denville is a great town to live. The lake communities drive a real community environment, you're likely to be friends with your neighbors and have an active social life in the neighborhoods. As a result of this, people never leave the area or sometimes retire to the area.

I live near Denville, I'm unaware of a Chinese community around the area. Some Chinese restaurants will have a van for employee transportation for the workers, where they come from? Not sure.
Jasper on Rt 46 buses in workers from Brooklyn. We've talked to them.
They're closed.
You're correct though. Restaurants/take out places do bus/car pool in employees.
There are still a lot of Chinese in Parsippany/Montville though.
But they are of the 'came to US to get their education/well off' variety and wouldn't be working in a Chinese restaurant.
You can live around Edison and not speak a lick of English and live pretty well. There's enough places to work/food/markets/salons/entertainment.

Yeah you're right probably somewhere from New York. The ones at Hunan Taste all wear suits, and their English is more proficient so they might come from a different part of China. The regular Chinese restaurants that are in every town, the people come from a certain region in China.
The only reason I know about the Chinese vans is that there was a horrible accident on 287 a few year back, where there was cows all over the highway, and one of the vans hit a cow and flipped over and some of the workers died.

I would say the majority are bused in from Brooklyn, or car pool from the Edison area.
Chinese restaurants are in a bit of trouble.
GrubHub and Uber Eats have hobbled take out places because now there's so many options for delivery. And buffets have yet to recover from COVID.
