OMG! We found it! Authentic NYC take out! This restaurant re instilled my faith in american style “chinese food” !! From the order taker to delivery the resounding positive energy of the customer service was amazingly professional- what were they hiding as i hing up from ordering they were efficient polite and professional! Then the delivery arrived- it was fast under an hour the nice asian man followed all protocols mask distance etc and he was nice! The food was hot and my god the pork ribs were real! BBQ’d to perfection? Amazing delicious perfection! It was like i remember in the late 70’s in china town my childhood memory’s of celebratory family meals at the magnificent chinatown restraunts where the food was made not defrosted rushed back to me! The Lo mien was excellent too. But the pork ribs i cant convey how delectable they were!! order up order large and have faith that real NYC TAKE OUT is alive and well in Queens at the green garden! I am so grateful and thank every person responsible for the restraunts function and resulting product! You guys are the best and are my new goto spot no matter what boro of the apple im going to green garden for “chinese take out” . Seriously the best pork ribs i’ve had in easily ten years or so! Fast delivery outstanding customer service and really...

The guy behind the counter was nice. He took our order in a timely manner and everything was ready in about 20 minutes. Everything was packed nicely and there were no spills. Parking was easy. Prices here are a bit less than some other places in the area.

Sadly the food here is so-so to bleh. And we tried a bunch of different foods.

The good: BBQ Chicken sticks are good. I would probably recommend that. Pork and broccoli is alright. The garlic sauce here isn't that tasty but its decent. About the standard fare one would expect from any Chinese takeout joint.

The bad: Asparagus and string beans with garlic sauce was not good. The asparagus was hard and stalky and not edible. String beans were ok. Fried chicken wings were just no good. Kind of edible but tasted bleh and dried out. Fried Scallops were very tiny and mostly breading. Definitely not worth it. Chicken dumplings were bland. And some of them tasted like they went bad. Nobody got food poisoning luckily.

The ...middle(?): Wantons with hot sesame sauce was interesting/ok. Though others really really didn't like it.

Overall it doesn't seem like I'll go back, but I'll keep them in mind if I want to try them out again. Maybe for the BBQ...

I placed an order in person for takeout, and when I got it home discovered it was completely different than what I ordered. (Shame on me for not checking the bag there, but why shouldn't I think they'd give me what I ordered?!) I called them, and the man very belligerently insisted that was what I ordered. Mistakes happen, but there's no excuse for putting words in my mouth and insulting my intelligence. I was so hungry I ate the incorrect order, but wonder if it was meant for someone else. Nonetheless, I am never patronizing them again. I'm giving them one star because Google won't allow me to post a review...
