49 Best Chinese Restaurants near Thornwood

“A literal, local mom & pop Chinese take-out. She works the phones, he does the cooking. No Asian Fusion, no elevated or deconstructed nonsense. The Chinese food items you've come to love, prepared well, with fresh ingredients by your neighbors. I've been eating here for years and years, and it's always good.“

“I take my family to this lovely spot from time to time! This is the best place to pass a nice evening. I visit this spot regularly. The cooking is very good, the crew is professional and the rates are reasonable. I like meeting in this spot for a tasty lunch.“

“We were staying at the Tarrytown house estate and decided to visit Goosefeather for dinner, not having any idea about the restaurant other than that it was located on-site. As Chinese-style martial artists, we were pleasantly surprised to see the Cantonese -fusion menu options as we walked in. Unfortunately, we did not have reservations, but we were able to sit at the bar. What an auspicious turn of luck! The bar offers not only the full menu, but the chance to watch professionals at their craft. We were taken care of by Mariana and Sara, who were busy yet still highly attentive. They were very knowledgeable about the menu, and explained everything even before our questions had a habce to leave our lips. We started with some standard drinks (a spicy martini, and one of their mocktails with Ron Zacapa rum added in). Solid pours, balancing the flavors of the drinks with adequate alcohol to keep things fun). Next week ordered the spicy rice cakes and the potstickers. Each was perfectly done. The potstickers were crispy but not burnt, and paired with a just-right spicy Chinese mustard. There were four per serving, which served to whet out appetites while leaving us waiting for more. Next, we got the spicy rice cakes. These were just hot enough to let the tongue know, but the spice built pleasantly. The plate was pretty big, and the two of us had more than one or two helpings each. Finally, we had the Crying Tiger Tuna. The lightly seared and seasoned tuna was paired with avocado salad, pickled gooseberries, and sweet goji berries. Delicious! To cap it off, we switched up our drinks for two of their signature cocktails. Sweet emotion is a pumpkin espresso martini with a smoky bubble of deliciousness in top. Love in an Elevator is a wild rum ride of flavors I'd never think to blend, such as apricot, chocolate, and lemon. Overall, while pricey, the experience, the food, and the atmosphere made it worth it! As a bonus, we were watched over by a really cool portrait of Bruce Lee!“

“You would think the food would be consistent from one PF Chang's to another but this is not the case.
We have been to many PF Chang's in many different states and we agree, the food in this location was by the far the best that we have had at any location. Our server was great. The only disappointment was the men's bathroom was nasty with urine on the floor and paper towels in the urinals. I mentioned this to the bartender who said they would take care of it right away. I saw the manager go to check it out but even a half hour later nothing had been done to correct it.“

“Warm atmosphere, friendly service, and delicious food! Great place to go for soup dumplings and a varied dim sum menu. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Extremely delicious and authentic Chinese food. As a white person who grew up in Fuzhou, China, this place instantly reminded me of my hometown. The flavors dance on my tongue like a beautiful ballet and my mouth is enveloped in heavenly textures. I seriously recommend this to EVERYONE. As someone who is currently living in Flushing, Queens, I drive to here every week with my wife and two kids. One time my kid didn't like the water the restaurant served, so of course I had to use the kung fu I learned to discipline them. Anyhow, this has to be the best restaurant on Earth. Give this restaurant a try and you won't regret it.“

“Decided to stop by after driving by on my way home from work. I have often passed this location and wanted to stop by and I am glad I did. I was drawn in by the inviting decor and clean interior. Cuisine is tasty traditional Chinese served in a contemporary setting. I opted for take out as I was on my way home but will definitely dine in to enjoy the sit down experience next time. I took home their sesame tofu with white rice. Takeout is carefully packaged and prepared with the diner in mind. (A much appreciated upgrade from typical restaurants that just throw your dish in a container and toss it in a bag for you.) The menu has classic favorites as well as some more trendy takes on popular dishes. Definitely an upgrade from your typical Chinese restaurant. Come check this place out! 🤩🤩🤩“

“Relaxing dining atmosphere with friendly staffs. There was no wait on Friday night, food came out quick, and portion was reasonable size. The Hunan Chicken was so so but soup dumpling and lobster creamy soup was great. Would come back again and good for large party size.“

“This tiny Chinese takeout joint was pleasantly surprised!! Menu offers fried rice made to orders, i requested no salt or soysauce, the veg fried rice turned out delish!! Even plain fried rice with nothing but oil was yumm! Chefs were hard at work, phone orders were constantly ringing!! Thankful this restaurant takes card payments!! Highly recommend and loved to visit again if I were in the area!“

“The food was amazing! The service was excellent - just delicious“

“After years of eating at all the local spots (Bamboo Garden, Peking, and New Great Wall) I can honestly say this is the BEST Chinese food I’ve had in White Plains. The extra drive is absolutely worth it. Portions are “old school” big, prices run about $2 to $3 less than other places, and they always throw in something extra for free. The egg rolls taste just like the ones you remember as a kid, and the boneless spare ribs were superb (IMO). My wife, who usually gets headaches when MSG is used, had no issues here, which says a lot. Just a heads up that it’s cash only and they don’t deliver, but honestly, that’s no big deal when you can eat this well without it costing an arm and a leg!“

“Fantastic quality.“

“Since moving to the area I've been told many times to try On's.
We just tried it for lunch the other day and was not disappointed.
The food was fantastic, much better than other Chinese places.
I had general tso's with white rice and a won ton soup and even the soup was amazing.
They only take cash and the food is expensive but worth it.“

“Change of style which I love owner very nice and sweet food was very good rice was great and very fresh pork fried rice was not bad at all I will love to come again 😍✨“

“I had such a wonderful time at 17 Cedar St B in Dobbs Ferry! The place is exceptionally clean and well-maintained. The attention to detail truly stands out, making for a very comfortable and enjoyable experience. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch location in the area. Five stars!“

“You know exactly what you're getting when you come in here by appearance alone. Awards from 20 years ago, menus on the wall... It's the classic Chinese-American spot.

I've gotten a dozen different things here, and every time they've been unfailingly cheap, fast and delicious.“

“This Chinese takeout was right by the pier in a shopping plaza, easy parking. The steamed white rice large size was quart portion and very good!! not grainy hard undercooked. And best of all, price was best deal you could find anywhere in NY!! Thank you and would visit without a doubt!!“

“I highly recommend Mister Chen Express. I have been eating their food for 4 years now and it is without a doubt my favorite chinese food. But more than that I find that their Steam Pork Soup Dumplings and Pan Fried Pork Buns are better than most places. The people here are wonderful and have an eye for detail as well as being extremely friendly. I will continue to be a valued customer for years to come.“

“Had visited this restaurant after a lot of deliberation seeing some of the recent negative reviews. However, we were pleasantly surprised with not only the taste and quality of the food, but with cozy atmosphere and warm service. We ordered the hunan chicken, dumplings, salt n pepper prawns and lo mein, and everything was spot on.. They served a dip with their dumplings which nothing like we had ever tasted before, yummy food!“

“Nice well balanced Chinese restaurantI tried the pu pu platter,chicken in garlic sauce,shrimp fried rice,chicken wings,Lo MeinI was fondly impressed with the quality and good tasting foodThe prices were cheap and I’ll definitely return if I’m ever back in the area“

“I have ordered food several times from this place, and I was always absolutely satisfied with all my order !!! The dumplings are delicious, I highly recommend them, noodles with beef, broccoli with shrimp, everything is delicious.I really like the service.“

“Amazing experience at this Chinese restaurant!
The food was absolutely delicious — full of authentic flavors and cooked to perfection. Every dish we tried was fresh, well-seasoned, and beautifully presented. The staff were very friendly and attentive, and the service was fast and professional. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, perfect for both casual meals and special occasions. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for real, high-quality Chinese food. We’ll definitely be coming back“

“I discovered this Chinese restaurant one day when I was in Port chester doing some shopping and going to the movies. I've been here a number of times now. It's along Westchester Avenue where there is a selection of various cuisines.The food is delicious and it's not greasy. I love the rice, its bright yellow and full of flavor. The chicken used in the sesame and general tso are fried just right and not too hard. I personally don't eat Chinese all the time and when I do I usually stand outdoors while my food cooks because you can smell the heavy grease inside and down the street. But at Panda I'm able to stand inside to wait for my food because it doesn't smell. This is a cash only place so make sure you have plenty. The man behind the counter is nice and he speaks Spanish which is nice for the customers that visit. Its not a place really to stay long and eat because there's 4 tables. I take my food to go. They also do not deliver.

Vegetarian options: They have vegetables only dishes too“

“Clean, good food, plentyful menu, great location.“

“Not bad. Was pleasantly surprised. I had the egg drop soup, shrimp egg roll, and Beef with Broccoli. All were pretty tasty. Beef could have been a bit more tender, but taste was good. Portions were pretty good size. They only do takeout; no seating available. If you want decent traditional American Chinese Food quickly, then give this place a shot.“

“My favorite place to get take out from :) They have the best beef teriyaki, crab rangoons, scallion pancakes and lo mein :) Will literally not order Chinese food from anywhere else! They also have the fastest delivery of any restaurant (period) I've ever ordered from!“

“Excellent food and prices.

We got the chicken egg foo young, vegetable egg foo young, orange beef, pork lo mein, and egg rolls.

Everything was exceptional with large portions and the food was ready for pickup very fast.

Cash only and mostly to go orders, very few tables. Best to call your order in.

I highly recommend and will be back.“

“Tengda Asian Bistro offers a wonderful selection of delicious lunch and dinner choices! The staff provides excellent and friendly service! Enjoy the best dining experience!“

“The food is decent. We especially like the egg rolls. 99% of the time we stop in to order our food and wait for it. I don't understand why the rice and entree is rarely hot. Most of the time the food is warm. We have heated the food up before eating it. We live less than 5 minutes away.“

“Nice local spot offering traditional Chinese menu. We ordered Pork Fried Dumplings, and these were flavorful and crisp, as were the Egg Rolls. Our entrees were the Hunan Special, a spicy dish of jumbo shrimp, crab meat, chicken, pork, black mushrooms, and vegetables, and the Happy Family with similar ingredients minus the spicy kick. Both were prepared well and fresh. We opted to dine in, and the tables were clean and well lit.“

“Probably the Best (Taste Wise) and Reasonably Priced Chinese Restaurant in Port Chester NY! If there is any Setback, it's the Limited Parking as there are only Nine Parking Spaces for Seven Businesses! However, there is Ample Street Parking! There is Limited Seating as the Restaurant is not very big! However, the Very Tasty and Affordably Priced Food more than makes up for these Minor Setbacks!“

“This place needs a higher rating.Been coming here for atleast 10 years. Food is soo fresh and definitely our go to spot when we're craving Chinese.Everything I've eaten here has been delicious. Maybr it might get packed during the weekends and certains times... thats normal with any restaurant. They have plenty of space and the few times ive had to wait, its been minimal. Worth coming everytime.“

“Great food very fresh - very well balanced and light - not too oily or over spiced. I struggled to find good Chinese food in this area but this was a great find. The place is set up mostly for take out and delivery - not much of an eating spot. Prices are very fair.“

“Wow!!! This place is amazing. Best shrimp and fried rice I’ve ever had. 10/10. I suggest coming here if you want the best Chinese food.

The only thing that really annoys me is when the whole restaurant is empty but they sit people right next to us in massive room full of empty tables.“

“Good place, really just good and that's their plus, I would give 4.5 stars ⭐️, but there is no such option here, and this place does not need 5 stars, it is good as is. The food was really tasty, although they all seem to be the same, but my child, who eats only a couple of spoons of noodles in other places, ate half of an adult portion here)) and that was indicative for me.“

“The food quality and quantity is Reasonable and service is good. If there's any negative, it's the temperature inside. There is NO HEAT which would be fine in the Summer; but, on a Winter Day, when you simply want to sit and enjoy your meal, it's a Definite NO! You just can't enjoy a Hot Meal inside a Freezing Restaurant.“

“Always top notch. Alex is awesome, will make your dish to your liking, always fresh. Best around“

“Please ignore all the negative reviews of this place. The food is absolutely delicious! I’m a native Brooklynite & I’ve been living in White Plains for about 2 years and I am very picky when it comes to Chinese restaurants. But this place here reminded me of the place I grew up going to back in East New York. We got the Fried Chicken with Pork fried rice (duh) 10/10! Chicken was seasoned well and crispy too :) the Boneless Spare Ribs were my favorite! The flavor was phenomenal. I’m getting it again the next time I order which will probably be soon LOL. The Sesame Chicken too! 100/10! Don’t hesitate on placing your order, trust me, it’s good! :)“

“Haven’t had take out Chinese in so long and honestly New China was really good. Egg drop soup was spot on satisfying, crispy noodles were not stale, delicious Singapore noodles and shrimp chow mein. Food for several meals as portions are generous and reasonably priced. It’s more of a storefront than restaurant so not a place to go eat a meal but I’d order take out again without issue. Plenty of parking in the lot out back.“

“Just moved to the area recently. Was craving Chinese food was nervous to try a new spot but figured to give it a shot. Called, the guy was very nice whoever answered the phone. Went to pick up the phone and it was done within 15 minutes. Food was hot and fresh. I got a little bit of everything. Didn’t like so much of the beef I got with the broccoli. Tried a piece and tasted little weird. Everything else was delicious. I got egg/shrimp roll, vegetable fried and white rice, beef and broccoli and the sesame chicken was very good. I would recommend ordering from here and eating the food. The prices were reasonable as well. Happy with their service.“

“My favorite spot to eat !! If you are looking for a good Chinese restaurant this is the best might be even better than Chinese food in the city !! I’m from the Bronx and work in the area and when it comes to Chinese food this is top tier !!“

“I ordered orange chicken and beef together. The combination was more interesting than either chicken or beef alone. The dish was flavorful and the meat had a light, not heavy, crust. The fried rice that came as a side dish was a tasty and not flat.“

“Great food and the owners and staff are so nice . A must try xxx“

“This is your usual mom and pop shop that makes delicious food. Never too salty or too bland, portions are as expected, and pricing is good. I prefer the short 5-6 min drive to here vs. the 3-4 min walk to the spot closer to home because of the taste and quality. I'm actually eating chicken when I order my usual compared to Taste of China on Main St. Def recommend for a quick, affordable, and good meal.“

“The restaurant was quiet and unassuming and the waitress was on some kind of silent mode, but the food was properly cooked and served. The salmon lunch box was pretty good, although the salmon was a little bit sapid. the sushi rolls were fine too.“

“I've been doing take out dinner combo at 6:45 pm. Ordering online 30 minutes before pickup. Always ready, always hot. Need to get the utensils and napkins there - they don't automatically put them in the bag (which is good. You just have to know).“

“Their house special egg Foo young is something amazing. The combination of ingredients is always fresh which leaves every bite tasting like the first. I've tried most of the dishes and they are excellent, the Mei fun is another favorite and texture powerhouse. A must try spot.“

“Fairfield County Connecticut does Not have any mockmeat chinese takeout menu (the closest is New Asia- Hartford Ct which has similar mockmeat takeout offerings as this & is cheaper) so bonus points for just filling a need. Unlike other restaurants, China Harden-Rye had a whole veg/vegan menu (not just 2 lame tofu offerings like most restaurants offer) The mockmeat dishes such as sesame chikn, general tsaos, orange chikn were those fried flat, round nuggets with sauce which is OK for takeout but I can take nuggets & toss with sauce at home. I'm still searching for proper breaded seitan/tofu fried pieces that are big like non-vegan meals. There's no vegan sweet & sour pork or v- walnut shrimp which west coast vegan takeout has. && The menu says vegetarian but they claim it's vegan. Service was excellent as they accomodated my nut allergy by not putting nuts in kungpao chikn & assuring no nut oils in anything. V-beef & broccoli was delish however didnt taste like the meat-based dish & texture was excellent. Was expensive for takeout quality, we ate at the restaurant on plates & the serving size seemed smallish but food was pleasantly hot & crispy. they put relaxing musac on for our dining pleasure too. Will definitely return bc there's no other mockmeat chinese takeout place anywhere near fairfield county. Updated from previous review on 2025-03-10“
