50 Best Chinese Restaurants in Brooklyn

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

“Great food!. Im usually not one for Chinese food but had read about the spicy fish and wanted to try. I was not disappointed. The fish was incredible as were the greens. The pudding dessert witb red bean and sticky rice was perfect especially after the spicy fish :)

Service was friendly and food came put quick.“

“This is not ordinary Chinese-restaurant food; the dishes are sophisticated and delicious. Great combinations, spices, vegetables. Okra crunchy outside, soft inside. Eggplant hot and peppery, cold chicken chopped with bones in. Never had Szechuan like this. We try to go as often as we can.“

“Hands down probably the best Chinese food in the city. I could eat here everyday.“

“Typical Cantonese Dimsun and cuisine 😋“

“Love this place. I started eating at this place when it was a hall in the wall. The owners moved to this current location and I followed. It is one of the best noodle places in Brooklyn and very reasonable priced. I come here at least once a week. The reviews are accurate. Crossing the bridge noodle is my favorite. My friend loves the beef stew noodle. When we are extra hungry we order the hot and sour dumplings too. So Yummy! They have the air conditioning blasting and a fan going during the summer time so you can still enjoy the delicious noodle soup!“

“Very good food and drinks 🍹“

“The cart has been here for years and still remains my favorite place to get take-out for rice noodles. They are completely made to order and the owners are super friendly, the noodles super delicious and budget friendly. There’s a variety of options/combinations/sauces you can get with your rice noodles and I honestly don’t think you can go wrong with any of them.“

“Dongpo pork is a must try, it is melt in your mouth! Live music, lively atmosphere and good service. My favorited though was the cucumber salad, so simple yet so refreshing and savory at the same time. Definitely recommend, high quality Asian food.“

“The food is consistently delicious and is always fresh but the portions are small“

“Yummy and fun. Expensive but it's a good date night spot. We loved the cocktails. We tried the Wizard of Oz, Ozmanthus, the Autumn, and the old fashioned. Chili oil wontons are always great. Tofu pockets were so cute! Loved the signature noodles and the black truffle rice. Wish we skipped the tomato tofu hot pot. It was too tomatoey. Overall it was a nice time.“

“Decoration is awesome, food quality is No.1👍👍“

“This place has almost everything I want in a Chinese restaurant. Thoughtful, authentic and elevated food with very reasonable prices. Elegant atmosphere. Lovely servers who give great recommendations.
The jellyfish ceviche was the most bold dish on the menu and it was incredible. The fried chicken (app) reminded me of home but the hot honey paid homage to the neighborhood Greenpoint. It was so juicy and might be my favorite fried chicken in NYC. The peppercorn icecream is fun and mapo tofu hits the spot.
Only thing is I wish there's cocktails ☺️.
Had an unexpectedly meaningful meal and I wish there are more places like Chiko!“

“Absolutely insane. Ambiance is killer, everything everywhere. Real calm sometimes..cozy! Extremely fast service. Extremely considerate service. So extremely affordable! Braised pork is perfect, lunch special comes with rice a lil greens and egg. I love the pumpkin potsticker, they got a Carribbean curry flavor! Housemate drinks are a dollar, and there's plenty of options.“

“Everytime I visit NYC’s 8th Avenue there’s going to be a day where my family and I will dine out at this place. It’s so delicious, my personal favorites are the Spicy Bullfrog and Beef Skewers. The servers are also always courteous and fast from our experience. We highly recommend this spot 👍.“

“Called my order in for pick up. When I arrived, it was ready to go. They are always busy. I would suggest you call and order ahead of time. They give you a nice portion, and food always seasoned well . Oneofmyfavoritelocal spots.

Parking: Located on the corner of two busy streets, but you may luck up and find parking.“

“In this building on the lower floor is where an
Underground of the most delicious food in Brooklyn. Booths, tables, It’s a city of Food by itself and some of these dishes are just delicious. And that is what I found in Hana. During the late 70s and early 80s I would go to Chinatown in New York City to get delicious food. then stores open up in Brooklyn,mom and pops Chinese food and I liked it but I didn’t love it. It was just too fast. I came to New Jersey,to visit and we ordered Chinese food from a place called Chinatown Resturant and I thought that I had walked into the 80s. The food was so good. Last week Sunday I went to downtown Brooklyn to the market. I didn’t know what to choose because it was so many vendors ,foodies. I decided to eat Asian food and I stopped by this small room of four people behind this booth ordered shrimp and rice. They gave me so much. I didn’t think I could eat it but it was so fantastic so 1978 1987. That’s how good it was. It was original Asian food, Chinese food.
I don’t know what else to say to you, because thinking about it and not being able to go there at this moment, it really hurts my feelings. It was the texture. The shrimp popped in my mouth. It was not dry and not wet and it was very hot from the skillet and the smell of it the amount of money which was probably $13 for the huge container she gave me I took one more bite and I said he’ll with it. I’m eating it all.
This is not something that you go home in Brooklyn and go back-and-forth to the refrigerator. Just trying to finish it. I’m finishing it right now and I did , and I’m happy and that’s why I’m sending you there because I know you’re gonna love it. Trust me on this one they know what they’re doing.

Vegetarian options: There are many stores in this building and there are places where you can get vegan food, but I did not go as far this time as I wanted to walk around please go there and see for yourself

Kid-friendliness: It’s a wide-open space and there are a lot of stores in this building and there are family places to sit on benches with tables, something like picnic tables so there’s no problem for children there they’re welcome

Wheelchair accessibility: From the street level there are elevators where are people who have wheelchairs or canes can come right up on the elevator and go wherever they like in the building“

“Food on buffet was cold that was suppose to be hot and old shrimp had been on the buffet so long it was dry smh a waste of money I would never go back there“

“Spicy 🔥🌶️

Xi’an Famous Foods at 648 Manhattan Ave is a Greenpoint must-visit for authentic Western Chinese cuisine. Famous for hand-pulled noodles and spicy cumin lamb burgers, this fast-casual gem delivers bold, fiery flavors at affordable prices. The spicy lamb noodles and sour lamb dumplings pack a thrilling ma la kick, while the spicy cucumber salad offers a zesty side. Highly recommend this Greenpoint hotspot for fresh, spicy, and delicious Chinese food!“

“My favorite spot for the winter with their nice soup noodles for about only $10 per bowl which is really nice with how much they give you and how warming you will feel every bite. it is like any other restaurant, you wait until they seat you, wait until you are ready to order, you wait for the food, eat, tip and leave. the place is usually really packed during lunch time so either be lucky/wait to eat or not go at lunch.“

“Excellent service and delicious food. I had the vegi fried rice and Peppers with beef.“

“Rotis (curry goat and shrimp) were actually very good and well-sized. The goat wasn't full of bones and good goat to potato ratio and the shrimp was cooked well (not chewy, no shells, cleaned). Very quick service and bonus for being open on Monday (but cash only). Doubles were on the drier side but still were good. Definitely will be coming back.“

“This tiny little spot serves the most delicious fried pork chive dumplings! It’s a no frills establishment service a few types of soda and water. They are pretty busy from opening to closing on most days. I tried the sesame pancake also which was pretty good on its own also I ordered 2 spring rolls.“

“This is a really great and tasty treat bakery. They have lots of daily prepared fresh pastries on display. Their coffee taste awesome as well. I got also a walnut cookie very nice taste. They are only take out....will definitely be back and try something else when im in the area. On another note their front service workers are not very friendly, but I went and gave the 5 stars on account of their products.“

“There is absolutely no monkey-ing around at Monkey King. From the moment you grasp the handle of the entry door, there is no way you won’t leave transformed. While being greeted by the oh so kind hostess, you are given a moment to truly embrace the aura of the space. Your eyes first gravitates to the immersive semi sunken bar surrounded by blissful golden barstools illuminated by soft light. As the hostess carefully walks you to your seat, you begin to feel the opulence of the decor melting away the stress of your day.
The journey truly begins once you scan the restaurant menu. There you will find an array of beautifully thought out cocktails, wines, and dishes that truly awakens one’s curiosity.
To begin our journey, my cousin and I thoroughly enjoyed the Char Siu and Scallion Pancakes to wet our palettes. Hannah, our server, patiently guided us through the cocktail options making superb recommendations. Our first round of cocktails included the Serpent’s Tale and the Immortal Peach. We then drooled over the Cumin Lamb Ribs and Roasted Duck- Fat Fried Rice. All dishes bringing us to euphoria. To close out, we ordered another round of cocktails that included the Heartbeet and Pandan Express. The cocktails were so incredible that I literally got out my seat and walked to our bartender, Thieanna, to give her applause.
Which, by the way she accepted with such humility. The craftsmanship of those cocktails surely deserves a spot on the 50 Best Bars in the World. And as someone who has been to five bars on the list within the last four months, the compliment comes with ease because they definitely belong on that list.
I want to express my gratitude to Thieanna, Hannah, Thom, De Cory, and Nana for such a superb dining experience. Little did they know that the warm service along with the outstanding meal helped me to kick the depression that was knocking at my door that day. So thanks Monkey King for a memorable journey. I will definitely see you again soon!“

“Great tasting cuisine and friendly staff“

“Interesting place and fast service“

“Soup dumplings are very good. Love the duck soup.. broth is delicious.
The coldspicy beef was really good
Wonton soup is huge and delicious.
Really like this place.
I think the pot stickers were just ok compared how delicious everything else was we ate.“

“I genuinely enjoy this place and always order the same thing, the R8. Occasionally, I’ll get a drink, like their green tea, and the soup has an incredible savory flavor. I bring my friends and family here so often that they already know my order by heart. However, I’m not a fan of their tipping policy. While I understand the importance of tipping, they often expect a larger tip than I’m able to give on some days. You’d think that as a regular who supports the business frequently, this wouldn’t be an issue, but it still feels a bit awkward. I’m hesitant about coming back because of it, but I’ll see how things go.“

“Food was delicious, good service.“

“This Brooklyn Chinese food spot is worth every penny. While prices may be higher than usual, the quality and taste are exceptional. The ambiance when you walk in is cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxing meal.

Vegetarian options: I love veg rolls“

“Good quick Chinese fast food keep it simple they can not mess it upOnce in a while now I think in moderation only because I grew up on corner store Chino food as we called it

Vegetarian options: They cook to your exact request

Kid-friendliness: They cook to your exact request

Dietary restrictions: They cook to your exact request“

“Cheap eats are what this place is all about. Nothing is expensive, but what I ate was delicious, and that's what matters. If you want a glamorous restaurant, this is not your place. This is a bare bones, good taste place.I got the peanut noodles ($3) and a ten piece chive dumpling ($5) in January of 2024. Super flavorful items. The noodles taste like a hot oiled peanutbutter. The chive dumplings have a strong pork and chive flavor, no sauce needed for me.Great place to add to a food crawl.

Parking: Parking is scarce.

Wheelchair accessibility: Way too cramped for a wheelchair.“

“Typical takeout spot but the service is on point. They treat you well and with respect and not only that, the food is amazing as well. Made fresh and with a speed to match it. The flavor of the food is consistent as well. I always order from them without worrying about a thing!“

“Lagman Express offers delicious, authentic flavors with standout dishes like their signature lagman noodles. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make it a welcoming spot. Great portions, reasonable prices—highly recommend for a unique and tasty dining experience!“

“I cant rate atmosphere as I have never actually been inside of the restaurant. HOWEVER this is our office's favourite spot. We frequently order. (at least 3x a month) the food is constantly good and as BUSY as they can be they are very nice to us! Delivery is usually fast which is a bonus! Thank you Ling Ling for having great food, we appreciate you!“

“So delicious! Probably the Chinese food I have ever had. It all tasted so fresh and the plates kept it hot the whole meal. I wouldn't shut up the whole meal about how yummy it was lol.

We've tried the crab rangoons, kung pao chicken, mapo tofu, noodles w. scallion oil, and fried rice with mustard green shoots. All delicious.“

“I just need to share. First time ordering from this restaurant and we had a really great experience from the girl who took our order to the delivery guy. Food was delicious!!! Hot and yummy. They just gained so.e loyal customers over her. Two dumbs up New Li Hing!“

“The real deal - delicious freshly prepared Chinese food. Fresh seafood from tanks. Super reasonable prices. A hidden gem! Go. Ambiance is basic basic basic. Do not expect a dining experience other than watching Chinese families enjoying great food in ample portions from lazy susans on big round tables - which I personally love!“

“the food is superb“

“Completely happy!!
Do not choose spicier than mild. It's really spicy enough... it was delicious. The four of us also took 4 different dishes and shared them with each other.
It actually doesn't matter what you choose, meat or fish, dry noodles or noodle soup, it was really delicious. (2 of us actually thought it was on the spicy side, but we enjoyed it very much.)
We are only here for a few days but will try to come back again. 😀“

“Had a great meal at M Shanghai! The service was lovely—our waitress was super sweet and made the experience even better. The green bean and beef was especially delicious—flavorful, well-seasoned, and not overly oily, which I really appreciated. Definitely a solid spot for a cozy, satisfying meal!“

“The servers are so friendly and polite. I really enjoy dining here. I ordered tomato fish fillet rice noodles which was really delicious. And the new drinks they recommend: Hey JB milk green ! Very delicious!

Kid-friendliness: Very considerate to ask if you have any allergens.“

“The food was sooo delicious?, I came here with my friend after a walk in the park and the food was able to quench our hunger. I ordered the Szechuan braised beef noodles and a side of marinated fried chicken, my friend ordered the marinated beef rice bowl. Every single thing we ordered was delicious, I especially loved the subtle spice with the noodles. The sauce served with the fried chicken was also delicious! 5⭐️“

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

“I ordered the Spicy & Tingly Beef Muscle Hand-Ripped Noodles. It was very flavorful with the right amount of numbing spice and a generous amount of veggies (cabbage and celery). Also, the meat was very tender. I’ve had this in many other locations and I have to say, this is the best one yet. 10/10“

“This is my family’s favorite Chinese restaurant. They only buy from here and I understand why. The food is good and worth the price.(Not a place to sit and eat though) I’m vegetarian and they have General Tso’s tofu, which is very rare at Chinese restaurants, actually I’ve only seen it here. I usually get it with vegetable lo mein instead of rice but for 10 that is amazing and it comes with a lot of food. You can’t just trust any Chinese restaurant but here you can trust them.“

“One of if not the best Chinese take out spot in Bedstuy. You don't come here for atmosphere. You come for consistently good, well priced neighborhood Chinese food. They have the staple Americanized favorites like chicken wings with fried rice/fries. But also they also do traditional dishes you'd see in Chinatown. They velvet the meat and cook with wok hei that imbues that delicious smokey flavor.

We usually get beef with string beans and the Chicken eggplant in black bean sauce.

Highly recommend if you're in the area.“

“Our waitress Fanny was really really pleasant, friendly and helpful with suggestions on what to order. The food came quickly and since my friend ordered a 🦆 dish took a little longer but was delicious . I should be heading back there on my next visit to the area“

“Whole fish with your choice of add in simmering in a spicy broth... So good! The Chongqing chicken is yummy as well.
They play some good Chinese slow jams. I don't understand but it is pleasant.
Bathroom could use better cleaning though“
