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!“

“We had lunch at PF Chang’s today and had an excellent experience. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Everything came out quickly, and every dish was delicious.

Our waiter, Josh, provided outstanding service. He was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. His professionalism and positive attitude really made our lunch even more enjoyable.

Thank you, Josh, and the entire PF Chang’s team for a wonderful experience. We’ll definitely be back! Highly recommended.“

“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.“

“I remember when Szechuan City first opened how exciting it was to have some new Chinese food in the area. New owners, new ideas, new recipes...all great...for a while at least. After a short time they started to dip down in the consistency of the food...So we stopped ordering from them for quite some time. A little while ago we tried ordering again because we had some workers over helping out in the yard and they chose Chinese as the flavor profile for lunch. Wouldn't you know it...the food was excellent and everyone had great reviews, including us. Happy to say we are back to ordering from them again. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for good Chinese food in the area!!!“

“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.“

“Absolutely love this place! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and made with care. Everything I’ve tried has been amazing, and the portions are generous too. The staff is super friendly and the service is quick. Definitely one of my go-to spots when I’m craving Chinese food! Hands down one of the best Chinese spots around. Great food, great service, and always consistent!“

“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!“

“I wanted to give this place 3 stars because the ordering process is so inefficient. Took me 7 minutes to order a cheeseburger, couldn't make it into a meal unless I chose a specific restaurant... its all being made in the same kitchen, people like me do not care about the name associated with it. With that said, the food was pretty good. Ordering experience less than desirable. Staff was great, their point of sale, GARBAGE“

“Fantastic quality.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Friendly, professional, with a clean kitchen and fresh, delicious food.
And yes, cash only - to avoid costly credit card fees and preserve those very affordable prices!
The sautéed string beans are irresistible, and the Seafood Delight is excellent.“

“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 😍✨“

“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.“

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

“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!!“

“My wife and I ate here for the first time and it is a great restaurant! The service is excellent and friendly, the atmosphere is peaceful and the food is spectacular! I had the pork lunch special and my wife had the chicken special. The wonton soup is delicious. The chicken and pork dishes with eggplant and broccoli were mouth watering! If I could give more stars I would!!“

“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“

“Empire Chinese has remained an Elite staple for chinese food growing up and to now. The quality is fantastic and portion sizes are wonderful. Seeing this family buisness continue to service the community means everything to me as a Chinese born, American. Thank you Empire!! Being adopted and raised in an Italian family gave me meals I’ll cherish forever but having closeby access to cultural foods for me means more than you could know. Happy to support this buisness as often as possible and thank you for all the hard work and tastey meals you have brought to my home and the communities!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“GREAT FOOD!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Food was great, nice decor and soothing atmosphere. Very affordable. Had a great time with family.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“One of the best hot and sour soups and fried crunchy soup noodles I’ve had.

Although a tad bit pricey and could do better with some freebies if you spend a lot besides an Eggroll or soda.

Take out entree portions could be a bit bigger for price as well. I'm sure bigger if you eat in. Flavor of food is great. Fresh and authentic.

Some people could be cold but open up once you break the ice.

Love the goodie bag tea bags and fortune cookies they give.“

“I was stuck at work as we were in the beginning of a blizzard and I needed dinner. I couldn't find anything open to deliver but alas David King was open and still delivering! They literally saved my night! The food was great and the service is impeccable!!“

“Being a customer for more than twenty-two years. Seeing the family working so hard and their kids growing up.This is the best Chinese restaurant in the Elmsford , Hawthorne, Valhalla area! Some of the most endearing friendly service I've ever encountered, both on the phone and in person. You can tell they care about their food and that their customer's satisfaction makes them happy. Wings are so fresh, tender, and flavorful. Crab Rangoon is best in the town and the homemade dumplings are so delicious!!! Especially the bone spare rib is must try , the rib are so tender,so juicy you can tell that they are making fresh every day out of the oven. You will never be disappoint!!!“

“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).“

“I ordered the yellow curry with chicken and it was outstanding!! Has freshly cooked white chicken meat with just enough spice with pineapple for sweetness, along with red pepper and snow peas added to a luxurious curry gravy. You will love it!“
