“I have taken my son here once and then my boyfriend last night. This is an ideal spot for literally anyone. The atmosphere is so calm and inviting with beautiful traditional details. The food is exceptional with tons to choose from and it’s reasonably priced. We left full and relaxed with leftovers. Highly recommend!“

“They have great, quick, and consistent food. Highly suggest getting the standard Chinese American foods like general tsos. They do it right, but I wouldn’t stray away from it. The egg rolls are decent. Best Chinese food in Rochester I’ve had. Online order is the way to go!“

“Sarap ng food dito. Worth every penny 👌 I hope magbranch out sila sa south“

“Great food at good price. If you live in the area try it and enjoy“

“The food was ok. I ordered the General Chao's Chicken with vegetable dried rice and shrimp eggrolls. I thought the rice could've been a little better but it was acceptable. The rice grains were bloated on the outside and a little undercooked on the inside but the price is good!“

“Love this place and Joanne is the sweetest. Food is hot, delicious and large portions. The wonton soup is the best we have ever had . General Tso's is my favorite at Hong Kong one.“

“Awesome food, great service! Very authentic and delicious!“

“China Garden is the best Chinese food in Rochester, hands down. It has been my go-to for several years, and has never been a let down. It is a family business, and everybody is always so kind when I pick my food up. If you are a crab rangoon enthusiast like me, this is the place to go ? Great food that is prepared quickly by very kind people.“

“Id give them a 10 star We had a fairly large order and the food was fresh and very delicious . They did not forget 1 thing , even extra requests were filled Food ontime and hot too . They had all personal protection on during this Pandemic and very polite . This will now be our new Chinese Restaurant to go to Thank you so much for excellent service :)“

“Thank you for allowing me to order Salt & Pepper tofu off menu. I hadn’t had any luck finding anyone who made this dish and it did not disappoint. Both the Salt & Pepper tofu & the Sesame Tofu had great flavour & texture! Very happy with food! Thank you!“

“😋😋😋 great service, tasty food, and able to accommodate for my food allergies.“

“First time ordering, the restaurant we used to order from, something changed, quality of the food just isn't what it used to be and we had been ordering from them for at least 10 yrs....Golden Ponds is now our go to, the food was so good, flavorful, not heavy on sauces, and yes we order french fries and they were delicious, they do not have the taste that they were fried with other food, they were perfectly crunchy, not greasy. Love this place.“

“Great service and excellent food.“

“Great place to have a bowl of ramen while waiting for a baby taking its sweet time to be born out of your wife’s womb. The pork broth is flavorful and not too salty, ample noodles and the pork belly was delicious. If I had to say something bad, it was while I was slurping away I did watch some people walking outside that looked like they had the luxury of sleeping peacefully for 8 hours through the night on a regular basis. Must be nice, good for them.“

“There’s a lot of Chinese food places to choose from but my girlfriend and I ordered from here for the first time a couple of months ago, and we won’t go anywhere else anymore. The food is better than I’ve had in a long time, and the people working there are so friendly and polite every single time. Happy we found them in the first place!“

“Affordable and tasty! I order from this place all the time. I’ve ordered pickup and delivery, and the food is great every time. Delivery is fast and courteous. The fried pork dumplings are so good. I LOVE the orange chicken too! And their veggies are always cooked perfectly. Still a little crunchy, not overdone and mushy! For the price, it can’t be beat.“

“What I like about this place is that the food is consistent. I have been coming here for years and the food is prepared the same way. I recommend the garlic beef with the vegetables. They don't have sit in dinning so it's all take out.“

“Ok so me and my fiance have been so frustrated trying to find a good Chinese food place since the place we usually go to has changed and sucks now and we found this place online and I have to say their food is amazing!! We have tried so many different places lately and this one is definitely the best. We will be coming back here for sure!“

“amazing food and great prices“

“My husband and I love China Star so much that we make a special trip from Ontario, NY to get it. Food is great, price is reasonable and the owners are very friendly!“

“My go to Chinese since I was a kid! My favorite dish is the simple chicken wing with pork fried rice and load it with their boss sauce on top. I also like their chicken with garlic sauce, pepper steak, and seafood delight!Not in the best of neighborhood. It has gotten it better over the years though.Friendly owner and workers. For the same cost of a combo from a fast food restaurants, I'll take this any day.“

“Best Wonton Soup all time medicine for the soul !“

“I ask the owner Chef what's the best meal between the bourbon chicken and sesame and she said neither i don't eat this food. I ended up getting bourbon and pork fries rice, spring roll with chicken nuggets, the nuggets were horrible take off the menu. Spring roll bad. Rice was good. Chicken after 4 bites my jaw was hurting. Beautiful family, food was not up to my standards“

“Tasty, fresh, fast service, inexpensive, and clean 🤣😭

These are pics of the current menu as of May 2026. I saw some pics of menus from 3-6 years ago so in case anyone is curious to know what the prices and items are currently.“

“I have ate here twice now and both times my food was ready quick, it tasted great and the lady that helped me both times was nice and accommodating to my requests. I had chow mein fun both times it was delicious and this time tried a steak egg roll which was different but good! They definitely should have a higher rating than 3.9! I have been looking for a go to Chinese restaurant but have not had the best elsewhere but this is definitely it going forward!!“

“This is my favorite Chinese food spot in the city! It's the best sweet and sour chicken & chicken lo mein I've had by far and I like that they have so many options. Not everything is a winner but it's fun to try different things and don't think it's that big of a deal if you don't love everything. The food is always ready very quick and I like how they package everything up (it never spills or drips in the bag) The inside is sort of rough around the edges but it's take out only so I don't think that really matters.“

“Superwing been here for years , got food from here as a kid here there , how ever when they change people the food also changes , as long as it's the older ones food will be ok if you see more than a man and woman just know something about to be off . Not sure if the young ones just don't rele care but yea . Def have got my order mixed up a few times , had me upset but set it right just the fact of having to go all the way back 🔙 once in house , esp the veggie rolls ,smh but other that's that over all I give a strong 3 .78 to a 4 .“

“This is got to be Rochester's best kept secret: King Food Restaurant. The food there is great, fast service and very politely and professionally attended. You will get plenty of food at a reasonable price. The attending ladies will greet you with a smile and ensure they get your order correct every time. Very happy customer here who visits them weekly.“

“The food here is actually really good.

Would be 5 Stars but they never get my order right.

-Often missing items
-2$ for a single spring roll, when it is suppose to come with 2 in an order.
-Wrong sauce on the food
-Wrong food
-Inconsistent communication“

“Honestly, their food is very good. I enjoy their vegetable rice, spring eggrolls and soups. The service is fast. I recommend that you call ahead for your order. When I was sick, this is the only Chinese food that was able to stay down. And I still order from them. ?

Thank You“

“I have high standards but everything we ordered was delicious, it's absurdly cheap for the amount of food you get, and the staff were super friendly. We came here because it was too late for anywhere else to be open, but I don't really care to try any of the other places we were looking at anymore, I'm hooked.“

“I ordered 3 LoMein party trays for my staff from Nu Yu and they are Delicious! Lots of veggies, chicken and Beef! My crew just kept commenting on how good it was and that made a busy day at work so much better! Thank you so much!!

We ordered the same from somewhere else a couple months ago and we were all very disappointed. Nu Yu is our new Go To for lunch!♡♡“

“I ordered the ribs, fried rice and half a chicken for delivery. The delivery was not so fast that the food cooled down a bit. The rice was so good, the ribs if microwaved is good also, the chicken was kinda dry and taseless, and the sauce given was not helpful but overall it is reasonable good compared to the price.“

“If you're not a local its very hard to even notice this place exists. Their food is always delicious and one of the best asian food spots in the inner city. I've never had an issue with their service. Their biggest problem is their location. The business windows look stained and gray. You walk inside and think you just broke into an abandoned building. You talk to the cashier through a tiny hole in a wall maybe the size of a square foot. The rest of the counter is boarded up with plywood. Graffiti is all over the walls and tiles are missing or cracked. This is the kind of place where you go with a friend so they can watch the door in case someone decides to mug you. I'd advise against ordering and waiting there. Definitely pre order so you can be in and out.“

“I was craving for hot soup in cold winter Rochester weather and tom yum seafood soup did the trick. It was deliciously perfectly spiced.
Got fried chicken dumplings and hot green tea as well. Simple soul food that make u feel good. Attentive service,clean place. Stop by to check it out and u won't be disappointed!!“

“No frills takeout place. I actually walked in because the food smelled so good from the outside as I was walking to the Dollar Tree next door. Service was great, no difficulties communicating with staff, and the food was better than expected at a good price point. They have a few menu items not typical of American Chinese food that I’m curious to try in the near future. Will definitely go again.“

“Tried Red Sun today for the first time ! DELICIOUS ❤️ If you haven’t tried it here You need too Food was great hot and tasty ! You get a lot I couldn’t finish it all My Aunt had sweet and sour chicken She loved it !! We surely we be back again ❤️❤️“

“We ordered delivery and got received it within less than an hour. The food was great. I got the orange chicken combo with chicken fried rice. The rice was amazing and the orange chicken was so good, it was saucy and tasty. We also ordered the fried dumplings that were incredible as well. All around so good.“

“I've eaten at Chef King on and off for over 20 years. For me it's almost always great. I was a little leery about ordering again seeing a few recent not-so-great reviews. But, I ordered today and it was great. Really actually quite perfect. I got the Tofu Homestyle and a lunch portion of vegetable Egg Foo Young. To be honest, I don't think it could have been done better. Everything was fresh and perfectly cooked. I went around noon on Wednesday.“

“This is my first time coming here today and I’m very pleased. The customer service is great, although the workers speak little english but they’re all so kind and welcoming. The food honestly is phenomenal, not too salty or bland either. If you like supporting small business, this is the spot. Their chicken and spare ribs will NOT disappoint :)“

“DONOT ORDER CHINESE FOOD FROM THIS RESTAURANT! I ORDERED $50 WORTH OF FOOD AND ALL OF IT WAS 100% DISGUSTING!
I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW THEY ARE STILL IN BUSINESS SERVING CUSTOMERS HORRIBLE FOOD! RICE WAS OLD, EGG ROLLS UNCOOKED, FOOD HAD ZERO FLAVOR, BEEF TASTED OLD, & SESAME CHICKEN THEY MUST OF HAD IT FOR WEEKS! I HAD TO THROW THE ENTIRE ORDER IN THE GARBAGE DISPOSAL.
THIS IS AN EMBARRASSMENT TO THE ROCHESTER COMMUNITY WHO WORK EXTREMELY HARD.“

“My all time favorite Chinese restaurant on this planet. Now, if I could only learn what the ingredients are in the hot oil served with the scallion pancakes. I would love to make that hot oil at home.“

“Didn’t want to cook on thanksgiving and was searching around for takeout and this place popped up. I used to come here as a kid and haven’t been years. The crab ragoons are delicious and triangle folded and not pinched in 4 corners so they’re nice and fluffy and crispy. The coconut shrimp is going to be my new regular order nice big sized shrimp and the sauce is sweet and creamy. The soups were nice hot and flavorful.“

“I ordered 1 pt roast pork with mixed veggies. It was really good and cheap. The vegetables were very fresh and lightly cooked. The soy sauce was gluten free. I loved my dinner.

The decor is stark, only two tables, and a homeless woman was sitting at the other table. It’s in an unattractive area.“

“i’ve ordered from Lin’s multiple times now(only by DD delivery) & i have not once been disappointed. it arrives quickly and always fresh. i would have pictures of the food if i weren’t immediately scarfing it down the second it gets delivered. the hot and sour soup has become my go-to comfort food. thank you for feeding me!<3 you guys are the best!“

“To have been only one person, all acceptable. I was a lady doing everything I stayed ?. The wings are very good but unfortunately the rice has been reheated since when? impossible to know. Honestly, he needs another person to work and thus the quality of the food would improve.“

“Had lunch at Honshu Hibachi today ,also the last day in Rochester, they stir-fried the chicken right on the teppan grill in front of us — felt like dinner and a show.
Ha..not sure if the owner adjusted the flavors a bit for us fellow Asians… and not gonna lie, it worked. Delicious!“

“Excellent experience at New Chinatown!
Today I ordered the chicken with broccoli and the house special soup, and I have to say it was an amazing experience. The chicken was perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor, paired with fresh and well-seasoned broccoli. The house special soup, on the other hand, had an incredible taste—it's hard to describe, but it was absolutely delicious! The service was excellent as well, with friendly and quick staff. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more dishes from their menu. Highly recommended!“
