Beijing Restaurant — Restaurant in Hasbrouck Heights

Was randomly craving takeout tonight and decided to try this place. Takeout can be so hit-or-miss, and even as I was ordering I felt half prepared for a stomach ache afterwards—but I was so wrong and I’m honestly still surprised about it! I don’t think I’ve ever had fresher Chinese food in my life. It’s rare for me to write a review and I feel kind of silly but I appreciated my meal so much that now I gotta talk about it I guess! 😂

I got steamed dumplings and the sesame chicken, nothing fancy. But it was delicious and all of it tasted so clean and fresh—not greasy, oily, or too salty. The rice was perfectly steamed too, not wet and mushy and not dry. I ordered on Uber Eats not realizing how far away they are from where I live, but it was worth the delivery time and wasn’t too long of a wait. Everything was still warm too.

The environment looks very clean and the service is very friendly and quick. Sadly, that's the end of it. I splurged, figuring how bad could it be, so I got a small beef and shrimp lo mein, a small beef with broccoli, a small wonton soup, and a shrimp roll.

So far the shrimp roll was really the only thing that was reasonably edible. I hate to waste food, and I tend to eat like a pig, but this is rough to get through. I wish I could have given a nicer review, they do seem like very nice people, but this is a struggle to eat. I hate to say...

Average traditional american chinese takeout. They do take a slight twist on some dishes though that doesn't help make it standout. The tender boneless spare ribs melt in your mouth and had a sweet five spice flavor - my wife really liked the ribs prepared this way, but not how I like them. The general tso chicken had a thicker and softer batter than I like. Chicken and broccoli was good and what you'd expect. Spring rolls reminded me of lumpia with a little extra onion flavor. Even the white rice had a different taste which I couldn't figure out. Quick and easy to...
