Cantonese Restaurants in Brooklyn, NY

“Ok, this place is an experience. Now with the all the chichi restaurants, Mama's is a break. It's a hole in the wall, mom and pop, home made style like you hadn't tasted before in other established restaurants. I feel I am in China and trying out their local foods. Their pot stickers are huge full of meat. The special Mama's noodle is full of surprises. I liked the way that we went there with 3, she pulled out the only table in there and clear the stuff on it and made it a dining table for us. The owner is very friendly and chatty. She told us they use the best Japanese made rice cooker and German made knives. If you want a homey and unusual experience. Drop by when you are in the hoods.“

“Incredible Food. Incredibly attentive and professional staff. Instant favorite.“

“amazing authentic chinese food“

“My family and I ate dinner there last night. The food was all delicious! Our server was great. Actually, everyone working was great. I liked that we were asked if anyone had any food allergies. Our cocktails lived up to their descriptions. I definitely will be returning to Red Bowl!“

“價格便宜，好味！ 正“

“Very friendly staff and amazing pastries! Would definitely come back again!“

“I love your general tso's chicken but the previous was much better. After you guys closed and reopened this week, the recipe for your general tso's chicken changed. I order it several times a week and am a bit disappointed. Did the chef change? Is it possible to go back to the old recipe? Old recipe: 9.5/10 New recipe: 7/10 Please go back!“

“Cheap take out
And the food taste pretty good but very salty tho.
I like their broccoli beef or broccoli chicken.
Their fried chicken wings good too.
Crispy outside, very juicy inside.
And they got lunch special special around $6-8 with a drink.
Not bad at all!“

“THIS IS THE WORST SERVICE I' VE EVER HAD IN NEW YORK. FIRST，we are in line to wait for a table. A couple left and a 50 year old like woman waitress asked us to sit. But then, we were told by another young waitress to leave the table cuz the table should be for another couple. Ok we gave the seats to them. But I heard that old waitress said we lied to her that we were the next customer for seats. I was angry. Then we got the seats after we were called. Unfortunately we got the seats but we sat right next to that couple. That man kept noticing us and murmuring to the woman. They kept verbally abusing us with all bad words. I felt uncomfortable. I could hear that old lady waitress said sth bad about us to the young waitress. After they left, we ready to check out. The young waitress had ignored us like two times amd even she put her back facing to us and just pretended not to hear anything. I was like#%^*+-/^*+=[{{%^}*{+!!!! Finally that waitress came over with fake smile after I said I would not go there anymore. I gave them tips and they kept saying thank you and I just ignored them. My announcement: I definitely won't step in there any more in my life!!! The service is THE WORST and MEAN, that old lady waitress kept making people around misunderstood us and jut did not admit her fault. This person is not Honest and just pushed responsibility on other innocent customers which made us felt bad and sad!!! So frustrated as being same as Chinese, they behaved in this such a way!!! We order some food and they just tasted not as good as we expected. Just normal food which you can definitely get something better somewhere else!!! WILL DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE FOR A GOOD MOOD YO EAT!!! IT WILL RUIN YOUR DAY!!! ABSOLUTELY NOT RECOMMENDING "LIKE CAFE" with the worst service I've ever received in my life!!!!“

“Very friendly staff and amazing pastries! Would definitely come back again!“

“Typical Cantonese Dimsun and cuisine 😋“

“It's a storefront, wheelchair accessible. I dine in and also had takeout. You should try the special lunch menu, one big dish with rice.

If you order takeout, The dish and the rice are packed separately.

It's a Cantonese restaurant.“

“Excellent food and great value for authentic Cantonese cuisine. We ordered the lotus leaf steamed chicken with Chinese sausage, mushroom egg tofu, beef ribs, and braised pigeon. Everything was well prepared and perfect for sharing. The restaurant was very busy, which is always a good sign. Highly recommend!“

“👍👍👍今天吃了，牛腩王，炸油条，云吞面，全部都很棒。很合我们夫妇的味道👏👏👏“

“My family came here for Thanksgiving dinner last minute, and honestly I was pleasantly surprised by how amazing this place is, especially given the lack of reviews compared to others nearby. Everything we ordered was cooked to perfection. The servers checked on us often, brought extra napkins and plates, and cleared dirty dishes right away — a major plus since we came with two little kids and mealtime can get messy. We had an incredible meal, and honestly, more people need to know how good this place is.“

“Food was delicious, good service.“

“Shrimp har gow dumplings were slammin'. Good place for a cheap snack.“

“This is a small family style Cantonese restaurant. Toisanese Cantonese to be more specific. Sometimes food can be salty. The service is great if they are not too busy. Food comes in large portions at reasonable prices.
They may not always have what’s on the menu though. I went with my family and wanted the chicken mushroom Bo jai fun and they did not have it. They recommended another one, turnip (cai guo) Bo jai fun, but I did not end up liking it. Packed most of it to go and gave it away.“

“We only found out about this spot recently and decided to stop by for some weekend brunch. We got milk teas (which were delicious), mixed rice noodles with fish balls, beef chow fun, and an order of rice rolls. The food was quick and fresh! Everything was delicious and we even ended up with left overs because we ordered too much. We’re definitely coming back here for their breakfast menu combo next time!“

“Food is good, however delivery guy tried to shake me down for extra cash tip on drop off even though there was already a credit card tip on the order.
*Edit* Owner replied and apologized. Appreciate it could have been a misunderstanding so will raise the review.“

“Really good food and a great overall experience. Everything we ordered tasted fresh and the portions were generous. Our server was friendly, helpful, and checked in on us at the right times. I would definitely recommend this place and plan on coming back.“

“Love coming to this place to eat and relax. The place is beautiful, fool is just delicious!“

“Came here for a late lunch along with my infant son. Left impressed with the food and the value of their lunch portions. The salt and pepper pork and fish casserole dish were my favorites here. The staff were accommodating and took time from their own lunch break to serve us. The only downside is that this place is quite far from where I live.“

“Very fair pricing. The owner (lady boss) is extremely friendly and accommodating. The menu option is quite extensive and hard to choose from when all the food are great options. They probably make one of the best lemon iced tea in the immediate Brooklyn area. We love this little cozy place.“

“This place has great tasting Cantonese style Chinese food. Every we've ordered has been perfectly seasoned with lots of flavor yet not overly salty. We've had the salt & pepper pork chops, chicken & eggplant with salted dried fish, fried tofu, roast garlic chicken, beef and broccoli, clams with black bean sauce, and beef chow fun.“

“Typical Chinese take/eat in restaurant, except that the woman in front is exceptionally friendly and warm. Food is just okay.
Place has been in business for about 35 years, so there must be a good reason. Large, free parking lot which cans get pretty busy. Decent place. ♿“

“Honestly such a good Chinese bakery. Prices are cheaper than those in 86st and the flavor is amazing.
The beef rice rolls are my go to, very thick pieces of meat- they don't skimp out.
The bakery section is in the back and very organized. Seating is available and very clean.“

“i was pleasantly surprised ordering from here! Solid food, it came swiftly- I think my small peeve was that the baked spaghetti was oddly a little bit sweet? Especially more so in certain bites, but otherwise super good and hit the craving spot on. The pork and thousand yearEgg congee comes in a huge container and I am set! Delicious!“

“We had a wonderful Chinese New Year dinner here and despite being super busy during the holidays with a full house, all 9 of our dishes were spot on and had exceeded our expectations. Staffs were attentive and came around to clear our plates and topped out our tea pots regularly. Prices are more reasonable compared to the larger seafood restaurants around the area. We ordered their house special appetizer, fried squabs, steamed fish, razor clams, gui-fay chicken, prawns with walnuts, Peking pork chops, fried rice, and string beans, and everything was a hit (we didn't take any photos, but all the dishes were plated and portioned well). Diners could expect a plate of complimentary oranges at the end. Would certainly come back regularly if they're able to maintain their quality; which seems likely to me.“

“Been searching everywhere for anything that can be comparable to the rice rolls I’ve had in Guangzhou and these are it. I drive from Queens just to eat the rice rolls from here. They’re super thin, soft, chewy, and have a fragrant rice taste. I’ve tried all the well known ones (west rice rolls king, joe’s , fu yuan, yin ji…etc) and none are as good as here. The ladies are friendly and food is made fresh to order.

Recommend: pork w/ green onions and cilantro —can’t speak for the other meats since I haven’t tried them. The pork is well marinated and does not have any unpleasant odor like some of the other places I’ve tried.

Cash only — but you can order for pickup from Fantuan if you forget to carry cash“

“Good food with good service.“

“Amazing traditional Cantonese food. Amazing seafood and various other dishes you really don't see anywhere else. I recommend getting a bigger group because it is family style and you can try more dishes the more people you got!

There's pretty good dim sum in the morning going into the afternoon but its super busy usually in the early morning so around noon would be better if you're looking for a less hectic time.“

“The restaurant has a clean and cozy environment, and the staff are very friendly and attentive. The food tastes great, portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable. Overall, a very satisfying experience — I’ll definitely come back again!“

“Delicious and fresh. Lunch special is $8 and they're generous with the portions. Our favorite dish is the pork chops in Peking sauce. My kids love chicken and broccoli and they asked for more when they tried it here. I ordered the steamed fish and it was super fresh and perfectly cooked. What a treat!“

“A store front Cantonese restaurant. I got their congee and I liked it. They sell Char Siu, soy sauce chicken, rice dishes. Most of the time when I go to 8th avenue, I would go to buy their foods. They are nearby the N train station, it's about two minutes walk.“

“Mr Wong saved my life. I was on the tail end of a ripper night in WB and he blessed me and my mates with his roast duck, chicken, fried rice and beef Lo Mein at around 1am.

His hospitality is elite, his beer is cold, his food is delicious. Thank you for your service Mr Wong!“

“Best Chinese food entire NYC“

“This place is always been around the corner from my block, literally a minute walk from where I live. I ordered for the first time on the phone and didn't pick up, the food was pretty good, especially because it was so cold today and this just warmed me up! Also the lady that runs the cashier is really nice!“

“Open Late I was Pleasantly surprised how good this place was loved everything especially the noodles and for dessert I highly recommend their Shun Deck Special Milk Cream was one of the best desserts Ive ever had pro tip eat and savor it slowly!“

“This place is pretty decent in general. The 5 Spice Duck can use a little more 5 spice and the Crab Meat E-Fu Noodle is spot on al-dente and not mushy like some places. The only complaint is the crab meat; low quality canned crab. Probably won’t go back any time soon unless there’s a craving for other classic Toishan stir-fried entrees.“

“Love this chinese fast food spot! I order out from here at least 3x/month. Typically, my husband gets the boneless spare ribs white rice combo with wonton soup. I get the shrimp with broccoli, white rice or pork fried rice combo with egg roll. Never disappoints. The soup broth is definitely elevated, better than the typical Chinese food spot. Interior needs a major update.“

“Best Chinese foodRecommend Blk Pepper Chicken/Gen. Tso Chicken/Shrimp Pad Thai noodles/String beans in Garlic Sauce.7/11 I'm adding to this review.As I said before food is good but I'm noticing that pad Thai noodles is chintzy on the shrimp and chicken. I call them back to say so and now I'm told "what do you expect? How much chicken should go in with the noodles." I responded back " it shouldn't be a portion for a baby. I don't need to pay $10.25 for a box of noodles with dime size pieces of meat. I also let them know that I'm going to write a review on this. So goodbye Panko, your loss plus referrals. ?“

“Ordering the food over the phone is the worst thing anyone can do. The receptionist will mess the order up. You can be on the phone with her for 20 mins, and the order will still be messed up. To place an order is best to do it in the store. The guy at the counter will try to give you the wrong amount of money back, but besides that, the food is good.“
