50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Howard Beach

“Half chicken with chicken fried rice was good so no complaints there. I ordered some BBQ ribs on the side and got 5 ribs in a bag for $10 which I didn't think was too bad although the ribs were a little dry. I had asked for duck sauce and they made sure to accommodate me by giving me 6 whole packets of duck sauce so I guess they either really care about accommodating their customers, or maybe they were being petty idk. Regardless, my go to Chinese spot closed down some months ago so this might have to be my new go to. Honestly, my favorite thing about this place is probably the prices, as the places closer to my house are more expensive.“

“The only problem I have is the last couple of months what I pay is always more than what everything adds up to. It's only a $1 to $1.50 each time, but it adds up. I thought maybe they raised their prices and they just haven't updated the menu that they always give you. We always do takeout, at least once a week. But I read another review on here that says it happens to him when he goes to the restaurant himself. We are loyal customers and always tip well. But if this is what they're going to do to their customers we will find some place else to order from. And not to start an argument, but I do not believe that the 20% of the bill tip applies to take out/delivery.. These are not waiters that actually served you. But I always tip $4-5 dollars on a $20-30 order.“

“Great oyster mushroom and rice rolls“

“very authentic Chinese restaurant. like the decor. service is 👍“

“CheLi in Flushing is legit amazing. That squirrel fish? Super crispy, sweet, tangy — straight-up addicting. The place looks gorgeous too, like old-school China but super clean and chill. Service was on point. Honestly, I’d come back just for that fish.“

“Yingtao offers an elevated dining experience, honoring the owner’s grandmother with both its name and the thoughtful approach to each dish. The restaurant’s sleek, modern interior and open kitchen immediately impress upon entry. The tasting menu is a carefully curated array of dishes with refined flavors, with the duck, toast, foie gras, and nian gao standing out as memorable highlights. The flavors here are subtly layered and delicate, showcasing a restrained elegance that even extends to the desserts, which are perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. Service at Yingtao is exceptional, among the best I’ve encountered. The front-of-house team is attentive and professional, and a special mention goes to Ria, whose deep knowledge of the menu enriched my experience by offering thoughtful insights and explanations. Yingtao is a beautiful homage to family and fine dining—a truly refined experience that’s well worth a visit.“

“Spicy Village was a wonderful place to have a Christmas meal! Actually, I'd like to rename it "Spicy Cozy Village" if a spicy environment can also be cozy! To start with, they were very gracious by accepting a reservation for 8 people at 6:00. Then they came outside and took our order even before we sat down and so the food was nearly ready by the time we had taken our coats off! The festivities kicked off with a plate of crispy peanuts, which ended up being the chosen appetizer, main course, and dessert for the little guy in our party. We then progressed to delicious dumplings, sesame chicken, spicy lamb huimei, and other delectable specialties! What was so amazing about the experience is that despite packing lots of people into a relatively small square foot area, it did not feel claustrophobic at all; rather it was comfortable and cozy, like sitting at a big table for a family meal at your house (even if it was take-out!!). Overall, Spicy Village was a terrific place for Christmas dinner - and I'm strongly considering coming back here for the 8 days of Hanukkah too!“

“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.“

“I had an amazing experience at Chi! As someone who frequently travels to China for business, I can confidently say the food here is incredibly authentic, delicious, and of high quality. Every dish was a delight, bursting with flavor and prepared with care. The service was equally impressive—friendly, attentive, and remarkably quick. I highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a true taste of China! Will definitely be back on my next trip!“

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

“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.“

“Chicken, duck, pork, rice and cabbage—oh my. Super tasty. Out does everyone in the zip code. No exaggeration.“

“Amazing food and service! We had 8 people so we got one of the private rooms. We ordered about 12 dishes and they all came out relatively fast. Definitely get the Peking duck; they cut the duck in front of you and display it really nicely. The Juqi fried rice is also really cool and represents the coal stoves of the past. 10/10 recommend this place, especially for large parties.“

“No frills steamed bun & dumpling place, apparently a huge wholesale provider for stores in the area! <$10 to feed two people. In the basement of the mall (East Broadway Mall, under the highway), kinda hard to find, but it’s a vibe when you get there!

The ladies work are so nice. Service is super fast. Cash only.

The buns had a taste that lingered in my mouth all day, but they were good at first bite. I preferred the dumplings (order #2).“

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

“The flavors at Yang Guo Fu Malatang are truly outstanding! The rich broth, fresh ingredients, and perfect spice levels make every bowl a delicious and satisfying experience. It’s the perfect spot for authentic, customizable hot pot cravings.“

“It is not often enough that great atmosphere and ambience pair together with great food, but this place has done just that.

Since their renovations last year the quality of everything from the plates to the whole interior design has improved. Not only that but the food is one of the best in the neighborhood.“

“The restaurant truly exceeded all expectations and left a lasting impression. The atmosphere was both cozy and sophisticated, making it an ideal setting for any occasion, whether casual or special. The staff were not only knowledgeable about the menu but also went above and beyond to ensure our experience was seamless and enjoyable. Every dish we tried was a masterpiece—beautifully plated, seasoned to perfection, and packed with rich, authentic flavors that showed off the chef’s expertise. The ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, and the menu offered a perfect balance of classic dishes and creative innovations. Even the smallest details, from the perfectly chilled drinks to the warm bread served at the start, were carefully thought out. The dessert menu was equally impressive, with indulgent options that were the perfect ending to a flawless meal. Overall, this restaurant is a gem, and I can’t wait to return!

Parking: 😌“

“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.“

“Ottimo ristorante di Ramen (giapponese e non quello "tarocco" o fatto con quello istantaneo del supermercato) che offre anche una fantastica selezione di ravioli. Prezzi tutto sommato accettabili per la media della città e acqua gratuita. Posto piccolo, accogliente, staff cordiale e velocissimo. Porzioni corpose quindi ordinate con cautela o non riuscirete a finire tutto.“

“This place has an atmosphere almost unmatched of. The staff is so nice, gives you extra ice cream when asked, and overall couldn’t hope for a better experience. Their seafood is fresh and the presentations for the noodles is one not to miss. Will definitely be coming back all the time..

Reservations are simple and you can almost always get a table.“

“Had a fantastic first experience at Corner Chinese!“

“Every dish is very good, the stir-fried yellow beef is very tender and tasty, the side dishes are also delicious, the stir-fried three-tender yellow throat is very crispy, the preserved egg with red pepper is very fresh and spicy, and the pork liver is also very tender.“

“Very nice, good food, good service.“

“The broth is clear and has a simple yet delicate flavor. The fresh ingredients are used, and the savoriness is like a Zen experience. The beef tripe is cooked in a way that preserves its true flavor, unlike the spice-rich ones you usually find at a dim sum place, which is very pleasant.“

“Large quantities and yummy food! We got 2 combos for two for 6 ppl and it was more than enough food. We got the classic spice with bean curd and king oyster mushrooms, chicken wings, and pork belly. We also got the tomato soup with fish and beef with lotus root and wide noodles plus milk custard and spicy noodles. Would come again!“

“Great experience, great food, great hospitality“

“Outstanding.“

“I came here for a friend's birthday dinner and we had an amazing time. The interior of the restaurant is spacious and I love the cozy but very Chinese decor. Our waitress was so nice, easy to talk to, and fun. The service was really quick.

We ordered hot and sour soup, peking pork, string beans, honey walnut shrimp, beef chow fun, short ribs, beef stew and radish casserole, and salted fish and eggplant casserole. Everything was delicious. My favorites were their peking pork, string bean, and casserole dishes. The honey walnut shrimp was good but the portions were okay for a group of 9. The beef chow fun was a great portion but I wish there was more flavor. Loved the short rib. They gave us complimentary watermelon at the end, as well as birthday flan for my friends and I. Had a great time and I think this is the perfect spot for some casual Chinese food with a big group of people (We got 10 dishes and the total ended up being only $240, post-tax for a group of 9! We all left STUFFED).“

“Best LoMein I have ever eaten!! The steamed dumplings with the Chili Oil was out of this world! All the food was delicious and full of dynamic flavors. Service was stellar and the atmosphere was so welcoming. A total must!!!!

Vegetarian options: yummy

Kid-friendliness: very welcoming“

“These five skewers: arguably the best thing I've eaten in this city for under $15. The highlight are the mushroom / scallops wrapped in bacon, grilled over coals... For $2.50?! Pinch me, I'm dreaming

It's a grungy corner after dark, but right above the Grant St subway station.“

“Everything we ordered was very good. You don't have to trek down to flushing our Chinatown to have a great Chinese meal. My brother who is very particular with food was also pleased with the taste especially the salt and pepper calamari. We were super early for our reservations but they were kind enough to accommodate us. The place was clean except for the restroom. But that's not going to deter me from giving them a 5 star review. Well done!“

“On a chilly winter day, Ji Bei Chuan is the perfect spot for hot, delicious soup rice noodles! Ji Bei Chuan offers some of the best fish maw soup, and they definitely don’t skimp on the fish maw, vegetables, and other ingredients.

The Fish Maw Soup Rice Noodles is a great example of the restaurant’s decent quality in food preparation. The noodle soup is filled with great portions of ingredients and a hot, hearty soup that actually tastes of fish maw. Their Fish Soup Rice Noodles also doesn’t disappoint. The soup is made with chicken and pork bone, and it goes really well with the abundance of vegetables and fish slices!

Overall, I’m eager to try out their other soup noodles on my next visit as well as their popular mixed noodles!“

“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.“

“Great authentic food. Really enjoyed it.“

“Great food and good value“

“They are best Marketing Agency.“

“Din Tai Fung has been a long-time favorite of mine, and I’ve visited their locations across Asia more times than I can count. So, I was really looking forward to the opening of this NYC location. It took some time, but as soon as I walked in, I could see why. This isn’t like the more casual branches I’m used to – they’ve gone all out, creating a stunning space that’s perfect for a special night out. Though it’s a large venue, it feels intimate, and the table arrangement makes conversations easy. Service was excellent; our waiter was excited to introduce us to the restaurant and stayed attentive throughout the meal.

Now, the food! We tried two varieties of their signature xiaolongbao – the traditional pork and the pork and crab. Both were superb and just as good as what you’d find in Asia. The paper-thin wrappers are some of the best I’ve had outside of the Pacific, with great flavor and delicious soup inside. The pork chop fried rice was also outstanding – tender, juicy pork served over perfectly cooked fried rice. We also enjoyed the seaweed and tofu salad, which was a great starter. I did miss the wild vegetable tofu and sesame oil salad I’ve had in Asia, but I imagine it might be due to ingredient availability here. Prices are a bit higher than their Asian branches, but for me, the atmosphere and quality were worth it. I’ll definitely be back.

Note: Unlike other locations, this one is reservation-only.“

“Very nice halal option in NYC. Noodles were great 5/5. The lamb with bread was really nice - 4/5. Overall great food, good staff service. Dumpings were a 3/5. Price was decent given the prime location and the food taste. Best halal food I've had in US so far overall. I'd definitely visit again next time I'm in New York!“

“The hot pot soup base is rich and fragrant, and paired with rich ingredients, every bite will leave you with endless aftertaste. The meat and vegetables are very fresh and taste tender after being rinsed. It's like enjoying yourself every time you eat here.“

“This is my third time here and it's been great every time!I order the soup dumplings and beef ramen and it's delicious every time.Definitely recommend it, especially since it's just steps away from Washington Square Park.“

“Great food, everything it’s delicious !!!“

“I’m from China and had been long craving authentic good quality Chinese food. When I was in NYC this summer with my parents and boyfriend, we went to try this place out, and that was one of the best meal I had in my life! We tried Beijing duck and skewers as well as some vegetable dishes, everything was so delicious, nicely put together, and other items on the menu also looked authentic and delicious. Will visit this restaurant every time I come to NYC.“

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

“Food is amazing ten out of ten👌“

“Superb place and amazing taste!!“

“Amazing food, super flavorful and very light feeling where you don’t feel gross after eating. Service was great shoutout to Rakesh, very kind and fast server. And the fact that it is HALAL on top it, incredible. I go to a lot of Indian restaurants and this is one of best places I’ve been to.“

“great service and great food! I recommend this place to everyone that is looking for healthy and clean food“

“Food is excellent! Service is great.“

“What a great find!!! Place was cool inside, food was yummy, we liked it a lot. Staff were friendly and nice. We will definitely go back.“
