“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.“

“Food is always nice and hot, have never experienced bad service from this restaurant, food is tasty. I always order take out or delivery.

Dietary restrictions: You can find tasty eggplant, tofu, green beans, and many other choices“

“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.“

“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“

“Fantastic food so nice to have a place to go in Midtown. Delicious cold sesame, peanut noodles fantastic eggplant and wonderful dry fried green beans. Everything we’ve ordered was just delicious and the people there were so incredibly nice. Thank you for making midtown a place where we can get some some delicious Chinese food again.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Everything was delicious. Will definitely be back!“

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

“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:)“

“An amazing place for a first night out! Destiny was our bartender and she was such a delight. Her time management skills are through the roof. As a server myself, I saw Destiny doing the most she can to help out while serving tables on the floor and the bar. I recommend eating here and if you just want a quick drink with your friends there is an all day happy hour special!“

“Un régal qualité quantité c était parfait“

“Awesome!!! Great food!!!!“

“We were warmly greeted at when we arrived for our 8:30 reservation and were able to get a quiet table inside. It was game on!We were made to feel welcome and comfortable as our culinary journey began. Our waitress expertly helped us navigate the menu and the specials. Each course arrived with a smile, Each dish was better than the next. What a great meal and wonderful experience. We can’t wait to come back! Michael and Andrea“

“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.“

“Excellent food and service we love this restaurant“

“Delish. We always love coming to veggie heaven“

“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!“

“*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“

“I love the Dim Sum they serve here!!!“

“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!“

“I am a lover of Asian food so I have visited many restaurants. And I can say that the food at this restaurant is extraordinary, the mix of flavors is exquisite.

10 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

“Fantastic food and service. This is exactly like the food I enjoyed at similar Chinese lamb skewer restaurants in Korea. I went in expecting to have to use Korean because a few reviews said no one speaks English, but instead I encountered non Korean servers and had to use English. They also spoke Spanish. There are menus available in Chinese, Korean, and English. You can get served here regardless of language. I highly recommend if you want something different from typical Korean barbecue. It’s also BYOB.“

“Food is good, though they sometimes skip on adding the meat and add more veggies (like beef and broccoli it can be called broccoli and beef) Also their hours are not accurate always like on Sunday it say open at 12 but it is inconsistent so make sure to call. It is a Chinese take out place. So don’t expect too much as this review is 4⭐️ based on take out standards. Make sure to double check order because we order and get charged .25cents each for crispy noodles but they forget to place in bag. Overall nice Chinese take out spot.“

“excellent Lo Mein. Great location.“

“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.“

“Came here for lunch, they have a lunch special Monday-Saturday 11am-3pm. I had the general Tso chicken. Overall my food was good. It was spicy, fresh, and flavorful. The restaurant is clean and tidy, although, they should make it look prettier with some Chinese decor. Food was served fast. No complaints or issues. I would recommend this restaurant.“

“This is absolutely the best Chinese take out spot. I drive from Oakland NJ to Nutley to get this Chinese food. They have the best flavor, quality, and consistency!, You get exactly what you are expecting, every time. There are so many places that try to be more authentic or try to be more fancy and they fail miserably because of it. New Man Hing keeps it standard like a Chinese take out restaurant should, and the results are the same great food EVERY TIME. Added bonus is everyone is very nice and pleasant too.

Kid-friendliness: Even though it’s a quick in and out, they are always very sweet to my son.“

“Very simple place where you can eat on site. The service is quite quick, the food is very good, the quantities are generous. The menu is very interesting and quite varied. No alcohol (beer, wine, etc.) is sold. Informal environment. The food has always been tasty and substantially fresh certainly due to the high number of customers. We have been there several times. A special thanks to the lady, although I don't remember her name, who patiently followed us in placing orders, suggesting combinations that were economical for us and at the same time anti-waste. Very good everyone. The place is worth going there at least once.“

“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!!!! ??“

“I really appreciate them having a gluten-free menu and lots of options, not just a salad. I tried their gluten free general tsos shrimp and shaved marinated brocoli shoots as an appetizer. It was generally good but shrimp was a bit overcooked. I will come back to taste their other dishes.“

“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!“

“Our go to place for lunch, dinner, when we have lots of company, as well as for take out- parties. Food is always yummy and a crowd pleaser. Everyone in my family have their own favorites. Moo Shu Pork with extra pancakes, chicken with eggplant and garlic sauce, as well as all the soups.“

“When I came in from the outside I thought it looked like 1 of those sketchy places you see in a strip mall on the highway. When I sat down I was happy too see that the waitress came quickly and efficiently brought the food out quickly aswell. I ordered the chicken fried rice and it was delicious. I would definitely recommend going here on a date. The only thing keeping this place from a 5 is there above average prices.“

“First off I order from this place all the time they’re always clean never any issues with the food their honey chicken wings are the absolute best. I always get that from there but their food is delicious

Parking: The parking is located in the back of the building and there’s an entrance through the back of the store so you don’t have to walk all the way around“

“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!“

“First it was a rainy day. They were busy. Young lady let's us know it was an 30 min wait. I was not rushed to order. She was very pleasant and patient. I ordered shrimp Egg Foo Young and beef Egg Foo young. The beef was so tender and the shrimp are nice big ones. And the brown gravy was delicious. If I could give 10 stats I would. Even with the wait time.“

“good portions, very reasonable prices, quick and friendly service“

“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.“

“I love this Chinese spot ! The people are great that attend the place . And the food is really good ! The place is also clean which is always is a plus. The wait time though it a little long so it’s always better to call ahead and place the order so you don’t have to wait. Other than that ! Best Chinese place in Garfield !“

“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.“

“We ordered Sichuan Tofu (unfried) and Kungpao chicken as well as pork egg rolls. They come with rice. Both of us love the food! There are a lot of fresh veggies and the food is not oily or heavy! The rice is super fresh. In Chinese language, the food is very 正宗. It cost less than $25 altogether, much better than the more expensive food I had in Weehawken. The owners are nice hard-working people.“

“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 “

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

“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“

“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“

“Great food. Great prices. Great service.

Call in order. Ready in ten minutes. Pick up
Parking in small free adjacent lot or curbside

If you like Panda Express orange chicken I would recommend the sesame chicken or general tso chicken (marked as spicy but isn’t really)
Crab ragoons were good but I wished they came with a dipping sauce.
Pork fried rice was good, nice charred flavor.
Didn’t like the egg rolls. Won’t order those again.
Beef sticks were a nice treat.
Got two free sodas with the order.
Sauces and forks and spoons available with checkout
Small dine in area if needed.
