“Decided on Christmas day that I'd be checking out a spot I've had my eye on for a bit being a regular in the area and although they were slammed busy on this holiday the lady at the front was just so genuinely friendly and extremely professional despite the business. Even chatted with her for a bit and that alone made my day of just such a wonderful personality.

The food was extremely affordable, I called ahead of time just three blocks down from my walk and when I arrived I didn't have to wait longer than 3 minutes to pick up and be on my way! Super fast service and deliciously savory food. I personally was craving beef and broccoli and got the lunch special and it was tender, savory, and umami. They were generous with the beef cuts too with a great broccoli and beef ratio! The pork fried rice further complimented the experience especially the bits of salty pork in the rice being the highlight of its tastiness. The wonton soup had such a satisfying broth that felt so good to enjoy on such a cold day!

Couldn't reccomend this place enough from the lovely, friendly, and efficient service to also how affordable and super tasty the food was! I've been an American-Chinese food lover for about my whole life at this point and this place knocked it out of the park for me! Excited for my future orders and cravings!“

“Good food, special drink called, BUTTER! Get ready it's lights out!!.. lol“

“Great food. I don’t know why all the bad comments about the woman on the phone, I have never had a bad experience here. The woman on the phone is always very kind.“

“great food for the price. 🤗“

“Really enjoyed the takeout I ordered for delivery. The Royal Greens Salads are huge!!! I would say they're twice as big as other salads chains. I wish it was easier though to know the dietary info for the salad dressings as I could not tell which ones were vegan. I love that you can choose your own protein and swap some of the toppings or build your own. I also got the green tofu curry dish from SriPraPhai as well. The sauce was incredibly flavor and I liked the amount of kick it had. It was spicy but not too spicy for me atleast. I do wish it had more tofu in it though as it felt very sauce heavy. I would order takeout from here again especially if I was getting food with someone who wanted something different then me. I appreciate the free delivery and the amazing portion sizes. It's nice to be able to order multiple cuisines as well.“

“Was visiting nyc and was missing east coast Chinese takeout, the place was 15/10. Everything we ordered was outstanding - chicken wings with pork fried rice, hot and sour soup, shrimp and lobster sauce, steamed chicken with veggies, steamed dumplings. Highly recommend if you are in the area or are able to get it for delivery!“

“Really delicious food. I don’t order Chinese a lot, I’ve been getting the same foods since middle school which is vegetable lo mein, sesame chicken and some sort of fried crunchy thing to put duck sauce on on the side.
It was all quite tasty, fresh and salty which I like.“

“Looking for the vibe that feels like a Hug from the moment you walk in? Think of them as the Asian Cheers🥂 Being in NYC for a decade Ive seen my share of bars good bad and ugly and I cannot rave enough about Rice K . No matter the day, the family energy is so friendly , festive and fun! From classes to emerse yourself into the community or karaoke to sing with fast friends I am in love and so grateful theyre a part of the best city on earth.“

“Great Food, first time I tried in and wow, everything was excellent, including the man in the front that helped me with my order! I got the General Tsos Chicken white rice, I would have to say the best Tsos in Queens. Also got broccoli garlic sauce and wow garlic sauce tastes like a grandmama make it! 10 stars if I could.“

“Very pleasant, casual, clean rather fast dining experience. There are so many choices in the area and we randomly chose this.
Like everything, prices have gone up....not their fault....just what it is.
We only had aps- scallion pancake, soup dumplings, crab Rangoon.“

General Tso's Chicken: Crisp, perfectly sauced, and hits the exact sweet-and-spicy balance you look for in a classic neighborhood spot.

BBQ Spare Ribs: A standout choice that stays true to the restaurant's long-standing neighborhood reputation.
Wonton Soup: Comforting, clean broth with delicate, savory dumplings that make the perfect starter.

Also the beautiful OG Lady at the counter is the best she's super friendly and she has the best advice on life!!“

“Genuinely the best Chinese food I’ve had in a very long time. When you order it from a place like this, you’re not expecting authenticity, but you are expecting Americanized Chinese food and this does that better than anyone else I’ve had. They have great tofu and generous portions for a really good price. My staff is incredibly friendly and we’ve been there a couple times now so they recognized my husband when he goes into order, which is always such a sweet touch. I cannot recommend them enough for your neighborhood Chinese order.“

“Exactly what I expect from a good Chinese joint. Excellent, affordable food and an extremely awkward/frustrating experience with the delivery process. Just be patient on the phone and you'll get your order in, stop complaining. Got two appetizers and two dinners all for $36 without the driver's tip. Excellent place!“

“I was a seeking a more elevated Chinese food experience. My last few fast food Chinese fast food experiences at other locations were scary. I believe I got exactly what I was looking for. The chicken pepper, onion, w/black bean sauce was skillfully prepared with good quality chicken and not the typical freeze dried trash, and the dish was savory and delicious. The wonton soup was also notable and I enjoyed the thin delicate tasty wontons. Even the rice was clearly higher quality. The modestly higher price was absolutely worth it to me for the quality of this Chinese food and I look forward to returning..“

“This is your to go everyday take-out halal chinese restaurant. The price is great, portion is very satisfying, & the taste is flavorful. Husband’s favorite is fried rice. I tried their creamy-cheese crab rangoon it was 🤤🤤🤤“

“The shrimp is huge and sweet everything's piled high!! Alot of veggies cooked perfectly. I asked for spicy and I got spicy! Finally a place that cares what you want. They give you a lot of food for the money and they're very nice people..“

“I've decided to edit my review, not only kicking it up to 5 stars, but to tell you the PERFECT winter Chinese dinner for 2: C34 (combo meal) plus their wonton soup. It comes with one perfectly fried eggroll, so get an extra, crunchy and delicious, the Hunan Shrimp is filled with crunchy vegetables with delicately spiced seasoning. We got a quart of the soup: Their wontons are not at all soggy combined with the perfectly flavored soup -- it was all excellent. My son had a taste and I had to rip it out of his hands to get my share, but the portion is very generous and was enough for two, so it's extremely reasonably priced. I highly recommend, enjoy!“

“I love love love this place…. I live kinda far from here but the fact they still deliver to me is wonderful……. Many other places are too greasy but this place has always served me fresh food always….. This is now my only go to Chinese food and I tell anyone I know that this place is probably the best I’ve had in a while.“

“Very clean and down-to-earth interior! There’s a variety of payment methods, including Applepay. I find that very convenient. A lot of Chinese restaurants are cash only...which is unfortunate because I don’t always carry cash on me. I’ve been coming here for years and I can safely say that the staff is friendly + the service is speedy. The portions are generous and the food is excellent. I recommend the chicken garlic sauce combo!“

“Ahhh, Panda Express! I never mind making the drive because the food is always worth it. What I love most is that they don’t let the food sit around for long ,they’re constantly cooking fresh batches throughout the day. I’d much rather wait a few extra minutes and enjoy a hot, freshly made meal.

I also have to give credit to the staff. They work incredibly hard and somehow manage to stay professional and friendly while dealing with countless hungry adults who sometimes act like they’re having a full-blown tantrum because their food isn’t ready instantly. Their patience, resilience, and work ethic are genuinely admirable.

Fresh food, hardworking employees, and consistently delicious meals—definitely worth the visit!“
