Got 2 orders here one was chicken wings with pork fried rice and the other Spare Ribs with pork fried rice. The rice was good had a lot of soft pork pieces and lots of onions and sprouts which I requested. The chicken wings taste like many of NYC Chinese restaurants so were tasty! The ribs were surprisingly soft and also tasty. The lady that takes your order was friendly and helpful. The restaurant is clean and decent for a takeout spot.

This place over charges if you use your debit card and don't even inform you.

Terrible food, awful service. Even the complimentary crispy noodles were stale and inedible. I have had food from here before, and while in the past it has been mediocre at best, it has now gone to something I would return (if that was an option), or throw in the garbage. Absolutely disgusting.

Very very bad service,fried rice doesn't have any taste like it's Chinese,it was a woman prepared it + they have a sign on the window that says that they charge $3.50 when purchase made with credit cards, in which it's .Illegal according to NY STATE law section 518 generay business says no business should.
Food there taste terrible,they need to hire a good cook.
Won't go there anymore.

Excellent Service at Teng Dragon A Major Improvement!

I started coming to Teng Dragon after having a bad experience with the restaurant across the street, Good Taste. The delivery person there was always angry and seemed to make his job harder by using a regular bike instead of an e-bike. He would take out his frustration on customers who didn’t come down immediately when he called, yet when he was late, it was never an issue.

His behavior made me wonder about his home life, as he seemed to carry his anger beyond just work. I understand that Chinese culture values discipline and hard work, but his attitude went beyond strictness—it felt personal. At times, I even got the sense that he was jealous of me simply for being friendly with his wife and engaging in conversation while learning the language.

When he tried to argue and justify his poor work ethic, especially in handling deliveries, I knew it was time for a change. That’s when I switched to Teng Dragon, and the difference has been night and day. Here, I’m treated fairly, the service is reliable, and the staff is always professional. I highly recommend Teng Dragon over Good Taste for anyone looking for great food and respectful service!

Why This Matters: A Powerful Example

Imagine this: You’ve had a long day at work, and all you want is a hot meal delivered to your door. You place an order, expecting a smooth experience, but instead, the delivery person arrives in a foul mood. He aggressively calls you to come downstairs immediately, and when you take a minute longer than he likes, he lashes out, complaining as if you’ve done something wrong.

Now, flip the scenario. Suppose the roles are reversed he’s late with your food. But when you express frustration, he shrugs it off, showing zero accountability. This imbalance in treatment isn’t just unprofessional it’s a red flag. It reflects a deeper issue: a lack of respect for customers and an inability to handle the pressures of the job properly now imagine us doing that in his country wouldn’t go well obviously. In contrast, when you switch to a restaurant like Teng Dragon, the experience is entirely different. The staff treats you with respect, values your time, and ensures your order arrives promptly and professionally. You don’t have to deal with hostility or one-sided expectations. Instead, you get what you paid for good food and good service.

This scenario highlights why choosing where you spend your money matters. Supporting businesses that value their customers creates a better experience for everyone, while refusing to tolerate poor service holds businesses accountable. Respect should always go both ways, and no one should have to deal with unnecessary hostility when all they want is a meal we all have bad days we can’t take it out on eachother.

Whenever I order food from here, it’s rare I’ve been disappointed. BUT over the years, the owner has changed how orders over the phone are made. Now an outside company takes the orders over the phone and you can tell some of these reps don’t understand English completely or simply don’t understand what you want to order. It’s also happened a couple of times where they say I have to spend $15 or more over the phone for debit card transactions but then the workers at the actual location simply say that they have to add on a tax charge for using the card so in reality it’s only $1 and change added on to whatever your order’s fee is. I think the owner has to really explain to this phone company the rules and regulations and also just go back to the actual staff at the location taking the calls.

I remember before this whole phone company took over the orders for this spot, ordering on the phone was way better and easier because the staff already knows what the people in this neighborhood like. Now if I ask a simple request such as adding a sauce to my chicken, the phone company reps tell me I have to do that myself…which can come off rude, considering if I’m paying for my food and request a simple extra step, just charge me for the effort of wanting my food cooked a certain way….

My family personally knows the owner - I haven’t seen him in a loooong time but if I do anytime soon I would love to tell him as a customer, I think these new changes just aren’t working.

Overall the food is usually cooked very well compared to other spots and has a lot of flavor. This place gets packed and super busy on certain days too. Sometimes ordering earlier is better in terms of delivery timing and also avoiding your food having spills, since later hours is when everyone is ordering - especially on weekends.

This is my favorite chinese takeout, not just for me personally but also my parents enjoy the food. We always order our usual, the pork fried rice tastes amazing and the chicken lo mein is always on point. I tend to order online, transaction is quick and simple and delivery takes up to 30 minutes or so. I get my order as I've placed, sometimes I've had missing items and when I called them up they were helpful and immediately send in the missing item. It's understandable that sometimes they forget but what I do like is that they are willing to fix the issue. I've been ordering from here for a couple of months, have not had a major issue with them. I will continue to support them.
