New York Lovers Chinese Restaurant

New York Lovers Chinese Restaurant is located at 820 South Alma Dr #180 in Allen, Texas (phone: (972) 649-4222 or +1 972-649-4222). Recent customer reviews present a somewhat divided picture of this Chinese Restaurant.

One customer expressed significant dissatisfaction, describing their experience as "terrible." They reported dry beef in the fried rice and small, dry, beef jerky-like pieces in the boneless spare ribs. They also mentioned observing a staff member playing with a child's hair in the kitchen and found the front counter staff to be rude. This reviewer, who had enjoyed the food previously, felt the quality had declined considerably.

Another reviewer had a more positive initial impression of the food's taste but raised concerns about additional charges for items like Chinese hot oil, suggesting this cost should be included in the dish prices, aligning with other restaurants in the area. They also noted that the restaurant is family-owned and operated and closes for an entire month each year for vacation. A unique and potentially polarizing aspect mentioned was the inclusion of brussel sprouts in their chicken fried rice, which are reportedly mixed in and not easily removable. However, this reviewer stated that the chicken fried rice is "really good" if ordered without brussel sprouts.

Based on these recent reviews, potential customers of New York Lovers Chinese Restaurant should be aware of potential inconsistencies in food quality, the practice of charging extra for condiments, the inclusion of brussel sprouts in the chicken fried rice (unless specified otherwise), and the possibility of a month-long annual closure. While one reviewer found the food's taste to be good (with the brussel sprout caveat), another had a very negative experience regarding dryness and service. It may be prudent to consider these recent experiences when deciding whether to dine at or order from New York Lovers Chinese Restaurant.
