5 Best Chinese Restaurants near Port Jervis

“This place is cheap with the protein.In America, ingredients are listed in order of amount in the item.Chicken with string beans or broccoli in this place should be listed as string beans or broccoli with chicken.The prices went up,and so did the quantity of vegetables to meats.Tastes good,but give me what I paid for.Stop being cheap.“

“I feel like we went back in time, because everything we ordered from this place was delicious, with huge portions, and freaking cheap prices!!! In Brooklyn, everything is half the size and twice the price!!! The egg rolls, dumplings, fried wantons were just like I remember back in the day! Boneless ribs, sesame chicken, pork fried rice, we're sooo yummy!!! Ming Moon is definitely a keeper...“

“August 12, 2024 - Context is important , when reviewing a “ Buffet “ ! My wife and I go out to restaurants of all shapes , cuisines, and countries. Understanding the nature & operation of a Buffet helps when passing judgement.

1. A buffet is not a restaurant in reality.

2. Buffets are for serving clients quickly!

3. Buffets offer many entrees & sides

4. Tough to keep hot entrees hot & fresh

5. Food consistency changes as it sits

6. Goal, offer quantity fast, quality suffers

My advice is to avoid the breaded entrees!
Sitting under heat lamps ruins the dish such as sesame chicken, General Tso’s Chicken, Mongolian Beef, breaded Shrimp is a NO !

Stay with entree meats that were cooked in hot oil & veggies. Try to watch as the staff adds a fresh tray , and run for that option! It’s fresh and the consistency is perfect out of the kitchen! Fried rice is generally fine the 1st hour or so under a heat lamp.

The soups are OK, ingredients don’t include dairy /milk . . . Prefer not to let sit long! I like a hot & sour soup. . . then I add mushrooms, bits of pork, or chunks of chicken, or shrimp ? to kick up that choice with hot sauce!

Veggies are suppose to be crunchy in most Chinese entrees! Usually cooked or steamed quickly. Folks in the U.S. over cook veggies to mush! I guess it’s tradition or poor dental health. As veggies sit under heat lamps the crunchy crispness in veggies are lost.

To wrap up, a Chinese Buffet will NOT give you the freshness , crispness , and quality of a true cuisine of a top Chinese Restaurant.

So . . . our experience was reasonable to my expectations of a buffet. Quick , with lots of choices. Go into a buffet . . . Knowing the parameters.

Thanks to our server, and cashier at the front desk, Diane! Her family has owned & operated this China Buffet for 12 years!
Maybe your family might transform this into a top notch Chinese Restaurant! Customers would have to wait 15 to 30 minutes for a chef prepared meal in one of the eight true Chinese Regional Cuisines! ?????????“

“Best Chinese food ! Been going there for 30 years and has always been excellent“

“I don’t understand why there are so many negative reviews. Establishment was clean, food was good, service was fast and efficient. I couldn’t ask for anything better! My family and I got chicken with broccoli and chicken lo mein, to which I have no critiques. Only thing is the lo mein could’ve used a bit more sauce, but that’s my personal preference. Overall a great experience!“
