50 Best Chinese Restaurants in Brooklyn

“Really shockingly good Sichuan food. The mala flavor was really delightful, it was really pleasantly numbing and incredibly flavorful. We got the dry pot baby rib and kung pao chicken lunch specials and both were quite excellent. The kung pao chicken really stood out to me as being particularly flavorful and nicely spiced. The interior of the resturant was also gorgeous and not too busy during lunch hours.“

“Antidote was such a great spot to have dinner on my visit to NYC. The wait was not too long considering there were 7 people in my party. We had so many items off the menu and the staff was very attentive to allergies and other food preferences. The tea smocked duck was incredible, the cucumber was amazing, the wontons were delicious! Everyone loved their dish it was absolutely a great dinner. The only downside was that some of the fish dishes were made with tilapia which is not a fish preference for most of the friends I was with. I will definitely be back and I highly recommend this restaurant“

“This was my first time visiting, and I was impressed by the unique seating layout , it made the space feel really interesting and inviting. I ordered the Dan Dan noodles. They were a little bit salty for my taste, but overall very flavorful and satisfying. I’m definitely considering coming back to try the beef noodle soup, the table next to me ordered it, and it looked absolutely delicious!“

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

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

“Easily the best Chinese restaurant in Brooklyn. Beautiful space, great food (get the whole steamed fish) and excellent service—friendly, helpful and relaxed. The place is busy but we never felt rushed. And for the quality and quantity of food it’s a great value. Will definitely be back.“

“Very good food and drinks 🍹“

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

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

“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.“

“Food is amazing. They go there w the mala and I love it. 10/10 recommend if you are about that life. Service is fantastic also.

I ordered chili woodears (amazing), the mouth numbing chili chicken, snow peas, golden eggplant and topped it off w the VEGAN black sesame. EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING. (well the black sesame ice cream could have been MORE black sesame but few people nail this so it's okay still good)“

“I discovered this restaurant and it's amazing,the food was incredible,and I'm so happy that my fellow countrymen opened this place.It's wonderful to see their hard work and Kyrgyz traditions and our food being celebrated“

“The prices are fair. The portions are fair. The environment is minimal but exactly right. Food is delicious. Come dine in! You’ll love it and it won’t break the bank. The fried chicken and eggplant with ground beef are quickly becoming classic choices.“

“Incredible food and great service! Yozi’s duck soup is the real deal—rich, savory, and comforting on every level. The portion size is perfect, and the ingredients taste fresh. I love how authentic everything feels. Definitely a must-try restaurant!“

“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!“

“the food is superb“

“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.“

“We were looking for authentic, delicious, and fairly priced platters for our Chinese New Year celebration and found A-Pou. A-Pou not only helped us put together the menu, but she included extra special goodies like sesame balls / egg rolls / fortune cookies. Even though Sunday was her day off, she still prepared and delivered the platters to our apartment which was so appreciated. All of our guests RAVED about the food (especially the potstickers, basil chicken, and lo mein).

A-Pou was also amazing to work with from beginning to end - she’s just the sweetest lady. Highly encourage paying her restaurant a visit and calling her if you have catering needs!“

“Always excellent. Daily Lunch specials...served quickly when want nice sit down meal & have less than an hour to eat & get back to work, not rushed, decent portion for lunch, reasonably priced options. More relaxing on less crowded days/times. Background music, clean facilities.
Take out also good option.

Convenient location on Montague St, short walk from Kings Supreme Civil & Surrogate Courts, & various subway & bus stops; need to be able to maneuver steps (about 7-8 wide steps with rails) descending to restaurant entrance.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“It was only one other party there when I arrived so I was able to order relatively quickly. I ordered the Za Jiang Noodle and the Spicy Wonton in Red Chili. I loved the wontons. Those were my favorite. I asked the guy behind the register what was his favorite between the marinated fried chicken and the wontons. He mentioned the wontons. They were really flavorful and had a nice spice to it. The texture was good and everything I had tasted fresh. The noodles were separate from the toppings since I was having it to go. I did end up with leftovers and day two of the noodles kind of reminded me of a spaghetti with minced meat texture. the food was delicious.“

“The sweet pork Mo was really good and definitely so was the pork belly bun. Really liked it. Tried some other stuff too but no pictures. It was more food than expected too so I was pretty happy. Also had the Thai bubble it it was good, not sweet but not bitter“

“I rarely write reviews unless the staff is truly impeccable, and Bobo was the best! She was incredibly kind, attentive, and accommodating. She made our experience exceptional. To the owner: Bobo truly deserves a bonus for her outstanding service! + best Dan Dan noodles I’ve had ❤️“

“Everyone in our group felt the experience was worth repeating. The prices won't break your budget. Their menu tastes great and deserves your time. The culinary offerings and staff attention were notable. They handle every aspect professionally.“

“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.“

“What a nice place this is in the 86th Street section of Bay Parkway!

The food portion is just right for me to finish their Tomato Beef Brisket Noodle Soup with no problem. Their set meals as they advertised on the menu was pretty interesting. Basically, one of the sets comes with a noodle soup of your choice, an appetizer, and a drink. There are also other sets that are different.

I would definitely come back again if I was to.“

“Wing Cheon has become a staple in my routine since moving to the neighborhood. The ultimate comfort food, consistent quality and huge portions every time. I call ahead and it’s ready when I get there. It’s not rare that you’ll hear customers talk about how they’ve moved out of the neighborhood but go out of their way for this takeout. Just speaks to how solid of an operation this place is. Love Wing Cheon“

“The food delivers exactly what you hope for. Beginning with service, employees here set high standards. The energy makes you smile. I'm impressed by the value, portion sizes, food quality, and service standards. This restaurant enhances our local options.“

“Finally getting to try some Xi'an cumin lamb noodles has been a long time coming and I'm so glad I chose to eat some here. It was exactly what I was hoping for - chewy noodles, strong flavor, and a powerful numbing spice that still, at medium, didn't overwhelm the ceiling of my spice tolerance.

My partner had the beef muscle instead of lamb, and it was shockingly tender. The hawberry hibiscus tea was also delicious and we had to grab one extra for the road.“

“Absolutely STELLAR experience here- their mala dry pot is VERY SPICY!!! They have a wide selection of food at a decent price and the vibe is lowkey yet modern and classy. Staff is great and service is efficient. We got the dry pot, crab and pork soup dumplings, and mushroom noodle soup. The dry pot is highly recommended- mix and match ingredients and pick a spice level. DELICIOUS!“

“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“

“This it's not a fancy place, but it makes my stomach happy. They are also super fast, so it's great when you're extra hungry. Little to no wait for the food. However, do expect to be seated with others if you're visiting as a small group. I personally think that the workers are friendly, but maybe that's because I eat there enough for them to know me by my face. I'm craving another bowl of their rice noodles as I'm typing the review. Yum.“

“Wow, immediate 5 star review & this is for takeout. Everything arrived perfectly packaged in a cute bag (I’m a sucker for branding). But once I opened everything, I realized the portions were pretty big - definitely enough for me to save 1/2 of everything for lunch tomorrow. Now getting into the flavors. Wow. The Mapo Tofu was sooo yummy, as were the string beans. For my main I got the Chicken with Chili Paste spicy level & it did not disappoint. I highly recommend this place. Excited to try it in person next time.“

“Typical Cantonese Dimsun and cuisine 😋“

“i ordered the braised beef noodle, delishhhhhhhhhhhh. the noodles are soft yet flavorful, the broth well seasoned & arrived warm, & the beef was just the right amount of oomph to have me dancing with every bite! i’ll be back to try more, for sure!“

“I’m now obsessed with the Kumquat Lemon! It’s my little treat for the workday and the lady who owns it/ runs it soooo super sweet. She knows the meaning of customer service and hard work. Can’t wait to bring my mom the next time she’s in town and my friends who make the trek to BK but always need a good reason. I just discovered a new phenomenal reason ✨👯‍♀️“

“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.“

“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.“

“My daughter and I are frequent customers. This is the most authentic Chinese food outside of Chinatown, especially their Fried Rice. Their portions are great, food comes out nice and hot. The staff are friendly. It is one of the best Spanish/Chinese restaurants in Williamsburg!!! Eat in or order Take Out, they are the best!“

“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!“

“I am responsible for organizing team meals for a collegiate basketball team, and I prefer to support local businesses when possible. When searching for a place that would accept a large team order, the owner of Di Di was incredibly kind and easy to communicate with. Every member of the team enjoyed their food, and I was pleased with the quality of service provided. We will definitely return in the future!“

“I’m not sure why this place doesn’t have 1000 five starts already! The most delicious and freshest halal chinese food I’ve eaten in years! Im so glad to have found this gem of a place. Atmosphere is beautiful with Quran displayed in chinese and prayer mats. Allohuma Barik“

“This is my favorite spot in NYC. The A1 (Liang Pi Cold Skin Noodles), Cucumber Salad, and Stew Pork Burger, are my favorite but you can't really go wrong no matter what you get.

My only gripe is the gentrification of the music! They used to play old school rap and hip hop (with funny signs about how if you don't like it you can leave), and now it's weird girly pop and EDM. Every like 7 or 8 songs you're lucky if you hear some current rap but it's not the same. Bring it back!“

“Been coming here since they opened. I'm literally here now waiting in that lamb/chicken over spicy rice. Damn sure can't give wrong. Brothers are cool, no wait like that and a cool spot overall. Shahzad is always polite. Come through, no disappointment here.“

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

“not bad. reasonable price.“

“Located inside Kings Plaza on the second floor, this is a good spot for some relatively inexpensive and okay chinese food/takeout. They have a self-service buffet in a overload-your-plate-one-time style. We ordered the kungpao chicken with rice, and stir fried noodles with a can of coke to share. They did not have diet coke, only regular. Portions were big for our appetites, we ended up bringing ⅔rds of the noodles back home with us.“

“We had an amazing experience at The Monkey King! We came with a group of friends and everything was excellent from start to finish. The food was delicious and full of flavor, the service was attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere was fun and welcoming, perfect for a group night out.

Everyone at the table loved their dishes, and everything came out fresh and well-prepared. It’s a great spot to gather with friends, enjoy great food, and have a really good time. We’ll definitely be back!“
