21 Best Chinese Restaurants in Astoria

“Overall the The experience was great. The flavors was good so good and Mary was super mery. She was super attentive, even when there was a high volume in the restaurant. I really appreciated everything she did for me and always make sure I feel like she cared.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 for the price. 🤗“

“Fast classic American Chinese food. Not the best food has ever tasted, but you're going here for a solid and consistently good fast meal at a good price with nice staff. Good tofu. Eggplant was a little under-seasoned but makes great leftovers to mix into rice“

“My favorite Chinese restaurant in NY or possibly the whole US. Food comes so fast and just taste amazing. Cutest interior ever, and the vibe feels authentic.. (for America) the lady at the counter is always there and the cutest so be nice to here!“

“Ma LaLa Chinese: Astoria’s Holy Grail for Bold Sichuan HeatMa LaLa Chinese (located at 42-02 30th Ave) is a beloved, cozy staple that completely stands out in Astoria's culinary landscape. Known for serving up intensely flavorful, authentic Sichuan cuisine alongside comforting American-Chinese classics, this neighborhood favorite delivers massive portions and bold spices.“

“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.“

“I come here for their beef with broccoli, hot and sour soup, and General Tso's chicken! The beef with broccoli is some of the best I've had - succulent beef, tasty sauce, and good broccoli. The hot and sour soup is full of delicious ingredients (like mushrooms, bamboo shoot slices, and tofu) and is warm, fragrant, and perfectly sour and with a kick of heat. The General Tso's chicken has a nice crunch to the chicken breading and nice and sweet sauce. There's basically no seating, but I always get it to go. I've tried their fried crab sticks and they weren't the best, so I wouldn't exactly recommend them. Egg roll is decent and standard. Would recommend this store! Great price too.“

“The Food
General Tso's Chicken: Crisp, perfectly sauced, and hits the exact sweet-and-spicy balance you look for in a classic neighborhood spot.
Pork Fried Rice: Packed with flavor and properly wok-fired without being overly greasy.
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.
The Experience
Portion Sizes: Generous container-packing that easily leaves you with enough leftovers for the next day.
Value: Highly affordable pricing that keeps your wallet happy, especially for the massive amount of food you get.
Delivery Speed: Incredibly fast turnaround time, often arriving hot at your door within 15 to 20 minutes.
Atmosphere: A casual, friendly neighborhood standard whether you are picking up a quick lunch special or ordering a massive weekend dinner combo.
Also the beautiful OG Lady at the counter is the best she's super friendly and she has the best advice on life!!“

“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..“

“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.“

“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..“

“Wow absolutely delicious😋 We came from Canada and stopped by for some food, I am extremely impressed with the quality and quantity of food! Will definitely be coming back anytime I’m in the city! 5/5!! Must try halal food that’s worth the price“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“
