ChowTime — Restaurant in New York

Update 3/20/2025: This place is so much better now! I get the chicken and broccoli from here and it’s always hot, fresh, and delicious. The cheese wontons are great as well. I’m updating my review here because they deserve it. It’s now a regular spot for me.

Prior review: I don’t know why this place has such good reviews. This wasn’t my experience at all.

Banana Milk Tea: sour and undrinkable. Taro Milk Tea: Just okay, but low quality. General Tso’s Chicken: Good. The only good item. Not crispy, but dealwithable. Chicken Pho: Chicken was undercooked and the broth (which was supposed to be beef broth) tasted intensely of fish. It was essentially fish broth, and I hate fish.

This was my last time, this place maybe deserves 2 stars, I gave them 1 star for not following the original recipe and lying about their flavors. Will not be visiting...

The milk tea and milkshakes are really good even as a standalone order. Every order, whether it is the Vietnamese pho, Bahn mi, rice platter, or side dishes are all super good. The food items are also moderately priced for their serving size, which tends to be more on the generous side. I'm personally addicted to the fried chicken dumplings with the hot sauce packets. The only issue I would say is that there really is no place to dine in, so you can really only order for take out. But overall, I definitely recommend everyone to try the food and...
