I saw such good recommendations about this place, so I went there about two weeks ago, It’s near my beauty salon which I was leaving that evening. I was hungry, so I ordered what I always order from Chinese, boneless spare ribs and a roast pork egg roll. The entire egg roll was drenched in grease when you bite into it. Not pleasant, but here’s the cherry on top. My entire boneless ribs order was nothing but fat...From far they looked delicious, as you get close to it, you can see the gristle. I’m not just talking one or two pieces, my entire order were all pieces of FAT. It was an inedible, unless you are forced to eat the gristle like John Candy in The Great Outdoors. I spent $16 on an order that was inedible, I will never order from them again. What was more disgusting was that they would actually serve something like that and package it up to let a patron eat this. The only one good thing I will say is the young man behind the counter and a young lady maybe in their 20s were well mannered and very professional. I won’t be returning here ever again and it is very close to...
Read moreCorner Chinese restaurant a block off Little Neck Parkway on Union Turnpike. Cash only, a few tables to sit and eat in, but I do take out. Closed on Sundays. If you order over $30 at dinner hours, you get a free 2 liter soda or a small soup they carry ready to serve (wonton, egg drop). Folks that work there are polite, acknowledge you when you come in.
I've ordered a handful of times, different dishes, and they are overall on the mark with flavor and consistent good food. Food tastes fresh, they provide chopsticks, utensils, and napkins. They have a great general tso's tofu, I ordered extra spicy, and they brought the heat! Boneless spare rib tips are great flavor, slight sweet, and smokey. Fries are made without salt, another win. None of their food has been greasy either. Egg drop soup is another win, not overwhelming with yolk flavor, and adding some red pepper flakes brings that kick. Everything is packaged well and not messy.
Will definitely be ordering from them again and, of...
Read moreI'll start by saying I got exactly what I was expecting. I was in the mood for Chinese food and looked around for a takeout place close to work. This is a very classic, divey takeout place where they have essentially any dish ever thought of on their menu in various combinations.
That being said, the food was as good as I expected and by that I mean it was meh. Got the moo goo gai pan combo, which came with an egg roll. The egg roll was crispy enough but I felt like the filling was rather lacking in volume. The sauce for the main dish was uneventful. I added their hot sauce and some soy sauce to liven it up, but that couldn't really save it. The chicken itself was super unseasoned. The best part of the dish, surprisingly, was the brown rice. It was a really nice texture.
The place is cash only, cheap, and fast. I will probably try some of the other things from here knowing what I'll be getting for the convenience and to satisfy any Chinese...
