“DON'T SLEEP ON EM-- BOULEVARD IS THE BEST CHINESE FOOD I'VE EVER HAD! THE BEST!!!!Their food is ALWAYS FRESH always hot! They always bring our order within 15 minutes! Their wings are amazing and that's why I took the time to write this review. I was shocked when I saw the ratings because I've been ordering from here for over 2 years (whenever we decide to do Chinese for dinner)They're the best!! If we move, I hope they deliever to our location.“

“One of the best Chinese food places for the money prices were great food was excellent and fast and the staff there was very kind and understanding. I definitely recommend this place if you're looking for some good old Chinese food from people that really love their job and they stand behind their quality of food. But I have to mention it again the prices were really good. So I'm going to have to give this a five star and let you know this is Justin certified.....“

“Yingtao offers an elevated dining experience, honoring the owner’s grandmother with both its name and the thoughtful approach to each dish. The restaurant’s sleek, modern interior and open kitchen immediately impress upon entry. The tasting menu is a carefully curated array of dishes with refined flavors, with the duck, toast, foie gras, and nian gao standing out as memorable highlights. The flavors here are subtly layered and delicate, showcasing a restrained elegance that even extends to the desserts, which are perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. Service at Yingtao is exceptional, among the best I’ve encountered. The front-of-house team is attentive and professional, and a special mention goes to Ria, whose deep knowledge of the menu enriched my experience by offering thoughtful insights and explanations. Yingtao is a beautiful homage to family and fine dining—a truly refined experience that’s well worth a visit.“

“Had a fantastic first experience at Corner Chinese!“

“Ottimo ristorante di Ramen (giapponese e non quello "tarocco" o fatto con quello istantaneo del supermercato) che offre anche una fantastica selezione di ravioli. Prezzi tutto sommato accettabili per la media della città e acqua gratuita. Posto piccolo, accogliente, staff cordiale e velocissimo. Porzioni corpose quindi ordinate con cautela o non riuscirete a finire tutto.“

“Great service and fabulous food“

“Din Tai Fung has been a long-time favorite of mine, and I’ve visited their locations across Asia more times than I can count. So, I was really looking forward to the opening of this NYC location. It took some time, but as soon as I walked in, I could see why. This isn’t like the more casual branches I’m used to – they’ve gone all out, creating a stunning space that’s perfect for a special night out. Though it’s a large venue, it feels intimate, and the table arrangement makes conversations easy. Service was excellent; our waiter was excited to introduce us to the restaurant and stayed attentive throughout the meal.

Now, the food! We tried two varieties of their signature xiaolongbao – the traditional pork and the pork and crab. Both were superb and just as good as what you’d find in Asia. The paper-thin wrappers are some of the best I’ve had outside of the Pacific, with great flavor and delicious soup inside. The pork chop fried rice was also outstanding – tender, juicy pork served over perfectly cooked fried rice. We also enjoyed the seaweed and tofu salad, which was a great starter. I did miss the wild vegetable tofu and sesame oil salad I’ve had in Asia, but I imagine it might be due to ingredient availability here. Prices are a bit higher than their Asian branches, but for me, the atmosphere and quality were worth it. I’ll definitely be back.

Note: Unlike other locations, this one is reservation-only.“

“Amazing food, super flavorful and very light feeling where you don’t feel gross after eating. Service was great shoutout to Rakesh, very kind and fast server. And the fact that it is HALAL on top it, incredible. I go to a lot of Indian restaurants and this is one of best places I’ve been to.“

“Food is excellent! Service is great.“

“Delicious Miso, Spring Rolls, Dumplings and Hibachi!!! Really nice to sit down and eat a hot meal after a long day!!!“

“A PF Chang's with friendly service, delicious food and views of the Manhattan Skyline, what more could you ask for. We've always loved the food at PF Chang's, but what really makes the West New York location a favorite is the friendly service. During our most recent visit we decided to place a togo order, after dining inside. We also asked our server if she could have some extra rice and to our surprise she adding not one, but two tubs of extra rice. This is what will keep us coming back again and again as we have for over 12 years.“

“Had an amazing experience at this PF Changs, our server Greg was extremely attentive and friendly. Love it here! Make sure to get the crab wontons as an app:)“

“Great food and great service. The food reminds me of home and is reasonably priced. We keep coming back for the ox tail stew, ribs, beef steak, porkchops, dumplings and the boneless chicharonnes de pollo. Most meals are served with white or yellow rice and beans or vegetables. If you want to try something different, they have the beef liver and squid ink fried rice which remind me of squid ink Paella. The combination meals are a great option to try out different dishes. The staff and owners always greet you with a warm welcome.“

“Little disappointed at this place. Saw they had Crispy Beef with Fresh Honey Walnuts Beef with a bed of steamed broccoli in a sweet brown sauce topped with sugared walnuts. Not crispy as from can see in pic. Was this really beef also? Walnuts were plain as well.Steamed Spinach Dumplings were a bit dry . Hunan Dumplings Spinach and beef dumplings topped with spicy peanut sauce. Spicy. I got not spicy but were very good. Would I try again. Yes think I would.“

“5 stars does not do this place justice… the atmosphere… welcoming and warm! the service… attentive and friendly! the food… delicious and filling! me and my friends ordered food here and we LOVED it; will be back again without question!“

“Best First Date Place in NYC 🩷“

“Excellent food and service we love this restaurant“

“Awesome!!! Great food!!!!“

“Un régal qualité quantité c était parfait“

“I love this Chinese spot, the food is delicious, I drive down this spot to get my fave lunch special even though I have a chinese restaurant near me. It's the sauce for me.

Parking: Lots of parking spot that are free“

“Wonderful food. Soup is amazing. Service is great and the menu is huge“

“THIS is the take away chinese from your youth in the city; takes the places of Mee’s Noodle Shop as absolutely delicious in every facet. Friendly staff. Had the house special chow ho fun. Needed a bit more flavor, but was delicious and fresh!“

“excellent Lo Mein. Great location.“

“I'm actually very impressed with this place. We were looking for something on Christmas Day and was glad we found here. What a hidden gem! The food was hot and fresh and not overly sweet or drenched in salty sauce like some of your other Chinese take out places! Heck they even ran a lunch specials on Christmas Day! Awesome price and generous portions. We got the beef chow fun, shrimp with broccoli, hunan tofu and chicken with spring beans. And honestly everything was quiet good and not overly salty or too sweet. Also they have brown rice! Which is awesome. A great spot and we will be back!“

“We were in the area and wanted some Chinese food, so we looked around the area and saw that this was one of the higher-rated places. I also noticed that they only take cash and do phone orders. We called on the phone, placed our order, then made our way over. We paid in cash and got the food. I ordered the boneless spare ribs combination platter, which comes with a roast pork egg roll and roast pork fried rice. We also got a small wonton soup. The boneless spare ribs were really good, striking a good balance between the sweet and savory that boneless spare ribs typically have. The roast pork egg roll was delicious and savory. Everything else, though, was not as good. The roast pork fried rice was pretty bland, as were the wontons and the broth that the wontons came with. For the price, though, it was reasonable, so I am not too upset.“

“I haven’t eaten such authentic Hunan cuisine in a long time! The boss is from Zhangjiajie and the homemade wine is delicious! The pickled radish in the "soy skin" hot pot is also delicious and the beef is very tasty. I wish the boss a prosperous business!“

“Best Chinese food in Cassiac! The owners were super sweet and the food was delicious. Went here 3 times last week to try different dishes, and the eggrolls are the best thing on their menu. Will visit soon again when I'm back in Cassiac, and can't wait to go back!“

“This is hands down the best charcoal-style Chinese BBQ skewer spot in the U.S.! We’ve been multiple times and it never disappoints. The meats are always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, and the service is consistently excellent.

Parking can be a bit tricky, but it’s a small inconvenience for such an amazing dining experience—it doesn’t affect my five-star rating at all. Truly a hidden gem. Highly recommend!“

“We ordered like 5 or 6 things. Everything was very good to excellent. Essentially the same quality as Soup Dumpling plus, a smaller menu/seating, but nowhere near the same crowd. Service is very good, we love the manager! You cant find better soup dumplings than here in this area without having to wait. Everything all homemade and legit authentic. Their spicy szechuan dumplings are the best you can find in NJ and they offer rare and delicious sauteed snow pea leaves and watercress... Their crab/pork soup dumplings are slighty larger but have a thin chewy wrapper, lots of broth - are phenomenal.“

“I recently experienced a delivery issue with the PF Changs on 8th Ave with 2 missing items. However, the manager at this location named Cris C, was remarkable in making this right. She immediately stepped into action by offering to send the 2 missing items complimentary and they were delivered within 30min.

These day it’s hard to just get someone on the phone to address a customer service issue. So it was refreshing to have someone that offered a solution without even having to ask for it!

So I want to sincerely thank Cris C for going above and beyond, and being so wonderful at her job! Thank you Cris!!!! ??“

“*Wrote this review on yelp already but it had a word limit. So this review will act as the full review as it will contain all the items I’ve tried* This place is phenomenal in every aspect. The food is very authentic, flavorful, and all items are reasonably priced. I tried out their food on Oct. 3 and again on the 9th. The first time I did a take out and the second time I did a dine-in. It is THAT delicious that I needed to create a Yelp account to write my review for them and is absolutely worth my travel from Staten Island to downtown. Below is a list of foods that I have tried plus my take on them from both of my visits there. I'll write it in the order of which I tried it. There'll be pictures of food, the menu, and the restaurant itself. It's super homey and welcoming! A definite must! I'll be going back again next week to try out other items that I have not yet had the chance to have. 1) The pork rougamo: It is like a savory crispy pancake sliced down the middle sandwiching juicy and mouthwatering pork belly. My friend who doesn't normally eat pork belly because it's so fatty, LOVED it so much that we had to get it again the second time we went together. It's got the perfect amount of meat and crunch to it. Just make sure that if you do not plan to eat it right away, please re-heat it in a toaster oven so that it'll maintain it's crispiness. (The heat of it in the bag might soften it a little but it won't ruin the experience! I promise you!) 2) Pan-Fried pork dumplings: The skin that is used to wrap the dumplings in is not too thin or too thick. It's got just the right amount to it. The pork filling itself is extremely juicy and flavorful! They don't cheat you out on the fillings either. You'll definitely get a satisfying amount of meat and wrapping with every bite. If you like spicy oil like I do, it'll definitely enhance it even more! This is also an item that requires some time to make because they pan fry it fresh! (If you're in a hurry, make sure to call ahead for your order.) It's not like other places who have it already pre-fried and just reheat it making it lose it's juiciness from over cooking when an order is place. That's an extreme plus in my book! Obviously, I made sure to get it again the second time I was there. 3) Stewed Duck Leg: This is absolutely tasteful! It's not like your typical roast duck that you'd find in Chinatown hanging in front of a window; full of fat and lingering gamey taste. When I took my first bite, I was not expecting to be exploded with flavor and lean meat. My friend never liked roast duck and has always been "yuck" about it gave this a try, she ended up eating 3/4 of it! She couldn't stop herself from picking at it! So if you have never had duck or have not had a good experience with duck before, this is definitely worth trying! And for those of you who do like duck, you absolutely must! 4) Beef Stew Noodle Soup: We ordered this with hand-pulled noodles... and gosh, I can still taste it in my mouth. The perfect texture of the noodles; it was not soggy at all and had this nice bounce to it. I believe you can ask about preferences for noodles. The beef stew and the soup was the perfect combination! You can taste the beef in the soup and know that it has been stewed for a long enough time! It's not too salty and has a light feeling to it so that you don't feel overly stuffed afterwards. I highly recommend this item! 5) Steamed Fish Filet Dish: This was SOOOO good. If you're like me and absolutely hate fish with bones and always go for fish without, this is definitely a must! The size of the fish filet is phenomenal! I've been to places where the filet order is smaller than the size of my hand but this place, you get a very big and satisfying bite! Whatever it is that they coat it in has the perfect flavor to go with it. And there's some kind of broth that it's cooked in... let me tell you, that was heavenly! After I took my share“

“Great coffee and service. ☕️“

“I love eating the plant base food with so much flavor, their juices are amazing!“

“Great food & service you know it's good when you see Asian familys coming in.“

“I've lived in Fair Lawn my whole life and never visited up until a couple months ago. I went to a place in Saddle Brook which is also great. But that place was closed on a Monday so I came to Great Wall. Very happy. Reasonably priced and delicious. NOT SALTY! I can't tell you the difference in the quality of food. The owner is such a sweet person too. Always smiling and thank you. Give it a try!!!“

“This is a great location. Service is great plus it’s always busy. My theory is, when you visit a panda express location that’s busy. The food is being consistently made. So you’ll get fresh made food every time. Versus going somewhere that has no foot traffic. The food is sitting under a hot lamp for a while so it won’t taste that great.“

“Authentic Cantonese cuisine. I was brought up in Guangzhou and these dishes here are the same delicious as the ones I had back in Guangzhou.“

“My fiancé and I have been looking for a Chinese takeout spot since the food quality of our usual spot went downhill. This place is good. He got the General Tso’s and I got the chicken wings with pork fried rice. Really good. No complaints. The staff were nice. They only take cash.“

“OVER 33 years my dad has been going to this Chinese spot. Anytime we have visitors my dad would order takeout from here and they would love it. My entire family loves it! You don’t hear of people going to a restaurant for decades! Well this is the spot! The sweet and sour chicken is what I ate since I was little, it’s the best I’ve ever had and I’m a foodie!“

“Changing my review HORRENDOUS service! Rude beyond comprehension cause lately the lady in the phone has an attitude the man who brings the food smells like cigarettes cause he’s always smoking I’m guessing she’s the wife her attitude is not professional I No longer order from them PANDA HOUSE 17st bergenline the best people are very nice on the phone and there very professional“

“I was looking online for a Chinese food place with great reviews when I first heard of Bamboo House. It’s only been a few times that I’ve been able to stop in since I don’t live close, but whenever I’m in Ridgewood, I like to get something to eat here. It’s tough to find a truly great Chinese restaurant & this place lives up to the hype. The portions are generous, the dishes are saucy & flavorful & fresh. What really seals the deal for me though is the service; they are kind & friendly in a warm, sincere way. Bamboo House has been in business for a long time, for good reason. 10/10“

“A lot of Chinese restaurants claim to have the best Chinese food but this one soars above all of them. 10/10 best Chinese food I have every tried. They're prices have gone up over the years but nevertheless cheap. NOTE THEY ONLY ACCEPT CASH“

“I absolutely LOVE this restaurant! The food is absolutely phenomenal and their customer service is exquisite! I never have any issues when I dine in or when I order delivery. This is the best Chinese food restaurant in Hackensack!!! 10 out of 10 I highly recommend ordering from “

“If you’re looking for a dining experience that will leave you craving more, Soo Show Garden is the place to be! We come every two weeks because the food is simply unbeatable. The soup dumplings are a must-try—delicate, thin-skinned pockets filled with rich, savory broth and tender meat that explode with flavor in every bite. It’s a comforting dish that’s perfect for any occasion. Their eggplant dishes are another standout—soft, perfectly cooked, and bathed in a luscious, slightly sweet sauce that makes each bite unforgettable. The food alone is reason enough to visit, but what truly sets Soo Show Garden apart is the warm and friendly owner. She always greets you with a smile, making you feel like family, and her care shines through in every dish. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, you owe it to yourself to experience the food and hospitality at Soo Show Garden—it’s a place that’ll keep you coming back!“

“Walked in and ordered a large chicken and broccoli rice. Total was $13.06 plus tax.It was packed with food and the rice was separated which I kinda appreciated bc I got a value for my meal. If you walk down the block to get some pizza or pasta they’re all $15-$20 and up. Will be back for quick and good food.“

“Great delicious chinese food I had pork fried rice and General Chaos Chicken with wonton soup and an egg roll . Everything was very good as far as the food . The bathroom was smelling like mold and area where you eat was ok atmosphere not great but food was great . Service was good lady brought our food to the table which was nice of her. its not a place where they have waitresses its order at the counter only to go or eat in . Place is open later than most restaurants in the area too and alot of parking on the street.“

“Great food! Great atmosphere and great view of the city!“

“I just passed by this restaurant after shopping and went to eat. I was overjoyed. They have a lunch menu. The price is not expensive and there are many varieties. The fried food is delicious and the plates are big. The service is also very good. I must try it. Restaurant.“

“Delicious food, cooked to perfection“
