honestly, it was the best culinary experience I’ve had in the entire area. I ordered the chicken wings with french fried , orange chicken with pork fried rice, General Tso's chicken with pork fried rice and the chicken lo mein. Every bite was pure flavor: the wings were crispy, the chicken was generous and juicy, and the lo mein was perfectly seasoned. Plus, the portions were huge, and the atmosphere was super welcoming. If you're in Brooklyn, you absolutely have to check this place out.

I love this place I’ve been ordering from them for Years! The food is amazing Delicious I’ve Never been disappointed. I ordered from them the other day and I can’t say enough about how over the top they are. If I could give 100 Stars I definitely would ☺️

Bad review*** A while back, I ordered food, and when I got home, I noticed i was missing food, so i went back and told me i am missing my food and the broken english lady at the register was avoiding accountability saying that they put it in the bag, when it’s literally physically not in the bag. i wasnt even makin a big deal out of it, little mistake, lets move on, but she make it like it was really serious and tryna gaslight the situation and convince me about the imaginary food that was never

I’m sure they have better days but my food was too salty and wasn’t fresh. Maybe it was an off day today but it was definitely a waste of money. Couldn’t eat nor enjoy the whole meal.

Be careful 🧐 I order and wallet out due to ...when she went to prep my order after touching a pen, she proceeded to remove a uncovered general Tso chicken meat, then started to put them into the pan but the only thing it is the same hands that was touching multiple different surfaces, plus there no way that general to chicken is at good storing temperature, dirty floors with dirt stains... if you going order, go for take out and eat at your own risk

As a lifelong New Yorker and 20+ year resident of the neighborhood, I've been delighted to see the massive influx of authentic regional Chinese food in this city over the past 10-15 years, and I've been allll over that scene. This is decidedly not that. But if you're looking for a solid, greasy spoon Americanized-Chinese joint that's remained remarkably consistent over multiple decades, this is the spot. They must be doing something right, since they're still going strong while the Duane Reade,

The food was very unhygienic and I found a fly in their food. I was starving after get off work and went to order. My order number was 155. I waited for 23 minutes. Order numbers 157 and 162 were ready, but mine was not. Then I asked if I could refund the order if my order was not yet served. The cashier saw that I wanted to refund the order and she immediately gave me my order. I took it home, opened it, and ate two bites before I ate a fly.

10 yrs ago, we moved from the neighborhood. We went to Mr Tong’s so much for the 3 years we lived there. As we are eating Chinese food all the way in Texas, we are reminiscing on how good their food is and we haven’t found anything that replaced our little weekend ritual. Thank you for being a part of our life!!

Very uncomfortable experience. Instead of just providing service, the staff were openly demanding tips. They were shaking a tip jar and clearly pressuring customers to leave money, which felt extremely inappropriate and unprofessional. Tipping should be voluntary, not forced or aggressively hinted at. This behavior completely ruined the experience and made me feel uncomfortable the entire time. I would not recommend this place unless they change their attitude toward customers.

Sometimes you need a GREAT Chinese takeout restaurant. And this place isn't good, it's GREAT! Five Stars! I ordered scallion pancakes which were so flavorful and delicious. Next, i ordered sauteed green beans in a garlic sauce. The sauce concistancy and flavor were just right and it wasn't too oily. The green beans were slightly crispy and cooked perfectly. Lastly, i ordered the chop suey which is a vegetable sautee in a white sauce. The white sauce was light and not too thick, and, more import

Food was good, servings were extremely small, definitely not worth the price paid for the food received. This is the least amount of food I've ever received from a Chinese take-out restaurant. If your hungry go somewhere else. $30+ for 1 person meal.

This food from place is absolutely solid, the people are friendly & respectful as long as you are. No thrills, no debit/credit but atm on sight. Order your food & be on your way or Delivery, always hits the spot! {It's a little on the pricier side but that is due to inflation & probably because of a landlord raising the rent due to the nature of Bed-Stuy's gentrification affect on local economics}

My daughter loves the chicken wings here. But they are currently under new management and I’ve had a couple of not so great experiences. My food has been under cooked. Ive received the wrong order a couple of times. and as of today i will no longer be a customer. They over charged me and gave me an issue when i asked why i was being charged so much for such a small order. They were busy and thats completely understandable. But to argue and not want to give me my money back. Then try to throw it

Asked for a little char, and they nailed it, perfection! I enjoy coming here for their chicken and teriyaki meals: simple, affordable, and always delicious. Special thanks to Lin and the team for being so kind and welcoming every time. It’s inside a food hall in a supermarket, so don’t expect anything fancy, just solid comfort food made with care.

The food is consistently excellent. I order my favorite dish from the health menu which I love! I recently tried their “ big noodle bowl with Udon noodles and it is Delicious! My husband orders the Hunan dishes. We also order the wonton soup, dumplings, chow fun regularly and are always pleased. I’ve tried all of the Chinese takeout in Bay Ridge from fancy to takeout and Pearl of China in Bay Ridge comes in at the top of my list. ❤️🥡❤️. The service is friendly.

Simple nook providing chow mein, moo shu, fried rice & other familiar Chinese plates.
Food is good. Asian style and flavour. Usually not spicy. What spicy is listed clearly in the menu. Often crowded. You may need to wait for 5-10mins. Staff are friendly and supportive. There are a few tables to dine at, but the food smells strong and will stick to your clothes for a long time. In general, I love the food here.

Their customer service is conditional, they do not listen to understand they hang up the phone in your face they pick and choose when your address is close enough to deliver to. I've had multiple bad experiences with this store and gave multiple chances before writing this review it's not good customer service and to make matters worse they harass you for a tip and their attitude depends on whether or not you give and how much regardless of whatever financial circumstances bars u from tipping pe

Garden Tortillas & Chinese Express never disappoints. The food was amazing — flavorful, fresh, and cooked just right. Every bite was satisfying, and the portions were more than worth it. Whether you’re craving something comforting or bold in flavor, this place delivers. The staff was friendly and efficient, and the food came out fast. Easily one of my go-to spots, and I highly recommend giving it a try!

As a Chinese heritage New Yorker since 2000: Hands down the best pork bun I’ve had in Chinatown. FRESH! Great BBQ flavor and yummy onions. Soft chewy bread. So good I bought all that was left! All their items individually wrapped. Nice staff, clean space too. PS- saved one for next day and … still amazing toasted!

Such an underground gem — Fat Cat Flatbread (the store name gets me) serves the crispiest, Chinese sesame flatbreads! They come in various filling options, my favorite being the preserved veg with pork or red bean. Also, the staff are surprisingly welcoming and even offered me a buy 3, get 1 free deal haha. Will so be back if ever in Flushing for a crispy snack!

I love China Garden. I understand if you’re not from the neighborhood the people inside will seem cold and mad all the time but hey we’re in Brooklyn not upstate New York. The lady at the counter is super friendly once you engage in conversation. Just be nice walking in and have a smile on your face. Good food, good area, and good hrs of operation.

Lady who take the order is very rude. I ordered my food and when I got there I asked for ketchup and hot sauce. She told me I should have said this over the phone. When I asked for extra duck sauce she sucked her teeth, rolled her eyes and say pay now please.

I have to call my credit card and dispute this transaction. They ended up tipping themselves $6. Not only did they bring my food 30minutes late but the last time I had tipped they didn’t deliver it for 50 minutes and I had to cancel the order. This time they were 33 minutes late and ended up tipping themselves.

I inquired about whether or not their Singpore Mei Fun had gluten, and the young woman was very helpful and even made sure I wasn't allergic to eggs! Based on that alone, I am sure the food is going to be very good. I haven't eaten chinese food in so long because of my gluten allergy, but the young lady made me feel less anxious. Will be certain to order from here again. This will be my spot for now on when I have a food emergency Update: omg the food was so good! Even my cat liked it! Exquisite

I have been eating at King Wok for about a decade and they have consistently had tasty food for good prices. In 10 years of being their customer I cannot recall any meal or dish they served that was unappetizing or unsafe. They are definitely my favorite place to get Chinese food in Forest Hills! I’d recommend people give them a try.

Haven't been in this place for years, Since food deliveries services came around, they got ride of free local delivery, food services were made for long distance orders, local deliveries should always be available and free. Ordered some Ribs and Pan fried pork dumplings. I'll be honest it was the worst Chinese food I have had in years. Ribs were dry as hell, over cooked and looked black as if it was reheated several times. Dumplings are not home made, you can tell, they are bought frozen and

The perfect go to neighborhood Chinese spot.** Dragon One has officially become my go-to for a reliable lunch or dinner for the days you don't want to cook . It’s exactly what you want from a classic Chinese-American spot: the food is consistently hot, the service is fast, and the portions are generous. I ordered the **Sesame Chicken Combo**, and it was spot on. The chicken had a great crunch without being overly breaded, and the **Pork Fried Rice** had that perfect hint of wok-char flavor. The

Terrible experience – I was scammed and received no help I had an awful experience with this place. I placed an order and received something completely different from what I requested. When I called to let them know, they were extremely unhelpful and refused to correct their mistake or offer any kind of solution. It felt like I was scammed — they took my money and gave me food I didn’t order, and then just ignored me. This is unacceptable customer service. I won’t be ordering from here again,
