“New York-Style” Chinese Food? More Like a Sad Imitation As a longtime Bronx guy, I know what real New York-style Chinese food is supposed to taste like. It’s bold, flavorful, and hits you with that perfect balance of sweet, salty, spicy, and umami. So when I saw this place advertising “New York-style” Chinese food, I figured I’d give it a shot. Big mistake. On a true NYC scale of 1-10, this is a solid -7. The food is technically edible, but that’s about where the positives end. Every dish was bland, lacking that wok-fired punch that makes real NY Chinese food stand out. The sauces tasted watered down, the fried rice was just rice with some soy sauce mixed in, and the chicken? Let’s just say I’ve had more flavorful napkins. And don’t even get me started on the egg roll—completely tasteless. No crunch, no seasoning, just an empty shell of what should’ve been a crispy, flavorful bite. It’s like they made it with the idea of an egg roll rather than an actual egg roll. I wasn’t expecting Chinatown-level greatness, but I was at least hoping for something close to what you’d find at any decent takeout spot in the Bronx. Instead, I got a sad, uninspired version that barely resembles what it’s trying to imitate. Would it kill them to add some garlic, ginger, or anything resembling seasoning? Bottom line: If you’re craving real New York-style Chinese food, keep looking. This ain’t it. Sorry Florida, Try again!!!
It's not a Chinese wok restaurant if they can't make Fried rice . Mine was Semi cooked wet pasty rice - like a cat ate and threw it up, some raw tofu, no salt , no flavor, raw onions, boiled broccoli. The lady on the phone was tired and angry. Food is reflective of the state of the mind. Good quantity. Hopefully mine is a one off. Praying others have a better experience.
