50 Best Chinese Restaurants in Brooklyn

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

“I was recommended this restaurant and took a chance on it as I was looking to diversify where I eat in Brooklyn. I ordered the chicken dumplings and fried rice with duck. Both were excellent and even for the lunch special, the portion of fried rice was too much for just one person. While the service wasn't particularly great, the food and prices were excellent.“

“Came here for my anniversary dinner and was blown away by Breeze (pun intended). Easily some of, if not the best Sichuan food we’ve ever had. I got the Winter Frost #2 cocktail and I wasn’t sure what type of flavor I was expecting but it didn’t taste like what I expected in a good way! The cocktail had a mildly sweet, light but depth in flavor profile.

The ginger sauce green beans were some of the best green beans I’ve ever tasted. The sauce they used was addicting. Second favorite item was the diced chicken with chili pepper, which was super spicy but absolutely delicious. But to be honest all of the dishes were home runs! I was just here last night and I’m already daydreaming about coming back to try more dishes.

Also the service was exceptional. The restaurant was full and there were only two guys to cover the front of the house (the hostess, waiter, bartender, and bus boy). They definitely had their hand fulls but still were efficient. Since it was our anniversary dinner they ended up surprising us with a pumpkin rice cake dessert on the house which we thought was the sweetest gesture. I couldn’t have been happier since I absolutely love rice cakes 😋“

“Limited menu options helps the customer decide easier. However, the food here seems very americanized. Im not saying this is a good or a bad thing. If your looking for traditional Chinese food, this is not the place. But for western influenced trendy dining, then this is a good option in the neighborhood.“

“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.“

“Typical Cantonese Dimsun and cuisine 😋“

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

“Very good food and drinks 🍹“

“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.“

“My buddy took me here last week. He thought it would be too spicy for me but I love spicy food and this did not disappoint. I got the Noodle with Crispy Meat sauce for $9.95 and asked for it dry. It also comes with cilantro which compliments the dish very well. The meat and noodles are bursting with flavor and puts to shame the noodles I’m used to eating. Our server was polite and very pleased we were satisfied. I will come back.“

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

“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.“

“Food was delicious, good service.“

“The tomato base noodles might be some of my favorite yet. I couldn’t even wait for it to cool a little before eating. I will say the plum juice wasn’t the best but the passionfruit sparkling drink paired very well with our meal. The atmosphere is pretty good for catching up with friends and grabbing a quick bite.“

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

“A nice elevated Chinese place in Greenpoint for when you don’t feel like going down to Chinatown. I think you get a good value for the atmosphere and quality of food you get, along with portions too. All hits for me.

The Mapo Tofu was super good. Not overkill spicy and very flavorful. I really liked it. $15, but of course you need rice so $17. My GF got the Chicken Soup which I thought was okay. I’ve had variants of this, and I think the broth had an meh flavor.

Overall, though, a great bang for your buck and I’ll be coming back!“

“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.“

“The food itself here is amazing and great flavors. The wonton soup with chicken broth has been our go to for years and this has been the best wontons I've eaten at any Asian restaurant. Quality for sure. The cucumbers are amazing and dumplings also. There has been some not great reviews but seems like when we get delivery it is better!“

“Come hungry because they give a decent amount of food! , known to have amazing food, We weren't too hungry since we had a late lunch, so we did end up with leftovers.Other tables by us also waited a long time, so it seems like the kitchen was just backed up.Overall, delicious food and a cool experience but I'd recommend setting some extra time apart for this since it took longer than expected.“

“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.“

“I've ordered three times from this restaurant since arriving to Borough Park. Every time I order with them my food is quickly prepared and well made. This last visit, I went in while still recovering from being sick with a cold/flu. My order was Chicken Lo Mein with a side of Fried Rice. To my surprise, they were so wonderful and awesome to secretly include a bowl of chicken noodle soup. Just amazing!! It was exactly what my body needed and wanted. And again, everything in my order was well made and very tasty.“

“I really like this spot. The man with the glasses in the front is always super friendly. The food is the best Chinese in the area. I go out my way to come here. I like the coconut shrimp a lot. I get the three piece chicken, white rice and broccoli. Also I really enjoy the sweet and sour chicken and fried old bay shrimp. I really don’t think you can go wrong here. I ordered pretty much everything I can keep going, just come check it out for yourself.“

“My wife and I have been looking for a good neighborhood Chinese restaurant. I think we've found it. This small, unpretentious spot has an excellent menu and delicious food. We started with hot and sour soup and pork and chive steamed dumplings. Both were very well done. Our favorite hot and sour soup is made by Beijing Restaurant in Montreal, but this is not far off -- spicy, strong vinegar flavor, thick with chicken and mushrooms. Our main course was steamed Chinese broccoli with garlic, and Wei's special chicken (pictured). All very well-prepared. Reasonable prices and pleasant service.“

“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 👍.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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“

“We spent our afternoon eating here during our weekend together. Is there anything left to desire here? Their dishes satisfy cravings and the setting puts you at ease. Our brief culinary exploration here was reasonable. The spot offers an enjoyable setting.“

“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.“

“Used to go here all the time when my boyfriend lived nearby. Since he left the neighborhood don't go as often but we went Saturday night and OH MY GOD it is still so good! Veggie dumplings, scallion pancake, lo mein, spinach with garlic - all amazing. They had vegetarian wonton (might even have been vegan) which is such a treat for me to get! They accommodated my dad's super-particular diet (ginger and soy sauce only but yet he doesn't want to order off the steamed menu LOL??). The waitresses were unbelievably sweet and made it such a fun night for us.“

Service was still the same and food still just as good last time. Definitely love coming here for some grub. Highly recommend.“
