50 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!“

“I had such an amazing experience at P.F. Chang’s thanks to Rocio! She was incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. She checked on us at the perfect times, made great recommendations, and made the whole meal feel special. You can tell she genuinely cares about her guests.

Rocio’s energy and professionalism truly elevated our visit — she’s the kind of person who makes you want to come back. If you go to P.F. Chang’s, definitely ask for her. You won’t be disappointed!“

“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.“

“They have delicious authentic Chinese food! I think here is the only place sells not only American Chinese food but also authentic ones in this area. I always go to Manhattan or Flushing for this 🫠 but they have it! I tried their dry pot and it was delicious! I felt like they tried not to make it too spicy but it was still delicious but I’m sure I can ask them to make it more spicy if I want next time.
I truly enjoyed the flavor and want to try again! 👍🏻“

“An excellent Chinese restaurant with a broad selection of upscale dishes. The food was excellent and the staff was extremely attentive. I don't think we waited more than ten minutes for our entrees and everything was delicious. The restaurant also has an attached take out side for easy pickups without disturbing patrons, which is a phenomenal idea.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“Hands down the best Chinese food I've had. I went to pace university for 4 years and this was one of my favorite restaurants.They have the best Crab lagoon/ fried cheese wanton, fried chicken and fried rice. I have tried crab rangoon at so many other restaurants and none can compare to Ons. I aways get disappointed. I was pregnant a few weeks ago and had the worst craving for the wanton. I drove over an hour to get it every time and wanted to cry tears of joy. The only downsides are that they only take cash, the place looks so old and the bathroom is dirty.“

“Fantastic quality.“

“Great dim sum!! Terrific fried rice! We go every year for Mother’s Day and always have the sweetest waiters and strong yummy drinks too. Thank you!!“

“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 😍✨“

“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!!“

“Just had the most fabulous meal from New China! Thai chicken curry, chicken with broccoli, and pork with bean sprouts. Fresh, fresh, crunchy vegetables and great flavours for each dish. Generous portions too. Best Chinese food we’ve had in I don’t know how long! Thank you!“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“First time trying out. Great ingredients and prep but bland flavor / no spice in food, also no tray of chili, soy, salt, or pepper at table. Also, we ordered brown rice but got white rice twice. Atmosphere - I loved the decor - comfy chairs and a great mix of table shapes and sizes and high quality wood paneling and wallpaper, but I would stop trying to be a sports bar with outdated pop playing on speakers, and focus more on food. Music can play in the bar area but not in the restaurant catering to many ages of patrons.“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“This was my first time here, and it will not be my last. The family-friendly atmosphere, excellent service, and servers, Thresea, and crew were AMAZING. They treated me and my family like we were regulars. I am glad I took the chance to go here.
The food and drinks were delicious.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 !!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Ordered delivery from New Wah Yuan and the food was fresh, hot, and flavorful. The egg rolls were delicious and the curry mei fun was seasoned perfectly. Only downside was the General Tso’s chicken, which was a bit stale and not saucy, otherwise a solid 4 stars!“

“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).“

“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! :)“

“I ordered this on GrubHub but wanted to review here too.

I bought the combination boneless spare ribs that included pork fried rice and an eggroll, then I bought 4 piece fried chicken wings, and 2 more eggrolls.

Now I'm picky about Chinese restaurants so I haven't changed my location of my choice for years because the food can be off or bland for some.

However, I was out of city and came to Hastings and wanted some, so I took a chance and I'm glad I did because it doesnt taste too far off from the one I commonly go to. And the boneless spare ribs in my opinion are more delicious because it has more sauce.

Overral the food was good, had good taste, smell, so when I'm back in Hastings, I know where to go 😄

Total came to about $22.75, not including fees and my tip on Grubhub. But if you go in person it should be that price“

“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.“

“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.“

“First time ordering! Generous portions at fair prices. The person that took my order was really helpful and patient with me answering all questions I had. Reasonable delivery time. Food was really flavorful and nice. Definitely recommend the Sesame Chicken!“

“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“
