Although I live literally a block away, I have to admit I never started going here regularly until I heard one of the chefs from the now-closed Dojo is now cooking here, and brought his hijiki-tofu burger skills with him. Biting into that again has brought back memories as strong as Proust's madeleine! read more

My cheese burger had raw bacon no lettuce tomato or onion. That was advertised.!unacceptable I payed for it! read more

A & C Kitchen - I sen t you 3 pic already - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

Only 3 stars because I've ordered plenty of times and had no issue, except today when I ordered chicken dumplings and the meat inside looked like pork and it was black and chewy. I called to get it replaced not even refunded and I was first told they would replace it. They then called back to tell me I was wrong they were indeed chicken dumplings which is fine but they couldn't explain the black chewy meat. I offered to send photos because I got it delivered I'm not going out if I wanted to I would've picked it up. They were going back and forth and I don't have the time or patience today. So I will take the loss and I won't be ordering from here anymore this is just a heads up to check your food before you eat. Loved this place but I don't like inconvenience when I'm spending my money. read more

I spend $50 minimum everytime and today I called and asked for sauce and they send me dry and inedible food (ribs and duck over rice )and no napkins or utensils with my food. And when I call back they say it's my fault! They made no effort to help me and frankly denied me of any assistance in rectifying my situation. I'm disappointed and frustrated with the way I was treated. I guess after you take money it doesn't matter. Smdh. read more

As for many years that I've been going, I've never had a complaint. my food was always prepared and my order was always ready. I am so happy you guys are back. And thank you for serving the community for such a long time great friends. read more

Affordable and lots of food! I've been eating here for more than 20 years. Owners are husband and wife that support the community.

We were so happy to have them reopen as they were the best in the area. Iv ordered from them twice and twice now the delivery guys are rude and demanding. I'm debating not ordering from them again or if I decide I really need chinese food I'll just walk over. read more

It is closed permanently. It used to have pretty good Chinese food. Maybe customers became leery due to COVID.

Not only was my order incomplete my shrimp and broccoli came with a worm in it. I just spent 20min throwing up and they had the nerve to ask me if I want a new one instead of refunding my money. Thanks to Ubereats for helping me with this issue cuz the restaurant is staffed by rude people read more

A & C Kitchen - Shrimp and broccoli topped with worms - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

So I've ordered takeout twice in the last month and had two completely different experiences. The first time everything was delicious. Yes, it's cheap Chinese American takeout but even within that tier of eateries there's good and bad and this was delicious. Fried wontons, roast pork lo mien (with the proper amount of grease - not too much but not masquerading as health food), tender General Tso's chicken with a tasty sweet spicy sauce, and crispy juice chicken wings. The second time around nothing but the wontons tasted as good. The lo mien was dry, the chicken bland, a little on the chewy side, the sauce itself looked more orange in color. So they're still hit or miss. Roll the dice! read more

I recently called A & C and didn't recognize the voice of the woman who took my order. e.g. How is Szechuan dumpling sauce made? It's dumpling with sauce. Really? How is the sauce made? It's Szechuan dumpling. So I asked for the sauce on the side. Neither dumping order had the sauce on the side, instead they were drenched in what seemed like canned sauce... yuck! Down the toilet they went... I ordered the following and here is my opinion of each: * Bar-B-Que spare rib appetizer: Meaty, moist, lightly sweet... very good! * Buddha's Delight: They brought me a Chinese Vegetable dish instead of the Buddha's Delight with Tofu in Garlic Sauce. They returned with the Buddha Delight and took back the Chinese Vegetable dish (To do what with, I don't know. But I gave it back to them). The Buddha's Delight has soft stir fried tofu, snow peas, broccoli, carrot, celery, mushroom. Not the delight it use to be. I think they stopped using fresh garlic so it was pretty bland. * Chicken with Black Bean Sauce: A balanced dish I enjoyed. No too salty, lots of onion, and a splash of green pepper (not a big fan so I was glad there was just a little) carrots mushrooms broccoli and chicken. * Szechuan Dumplings: The Dumpling wrap was undercooked (inedible), drenched in an awful thick sweet sauce. If I recall correctly the Szechuan sauce was a Spicy Chili Peanut sauce. Not thin nor super runny, just slightly thick enough to coat the dumplings (No refund offered. Literally money down the toilet.) * Sesame Dumplings: The Dumpling wrap was undercooked (inedible), drenched in an awful thick sweet sauce with no sesame taste and not delivered on the side as I requested. Sesame oil with a bits of ginger, garlic, and scallion with a dab of light Soy Sauce would work better (No refund offered - literally money down the toilet) A & C was at one time one of the best in neighborhood. It has changed hands and they seem to use canned products instead of fresh. The quality has diminished and they should rename the restaurant. read more

I've lived in the East Village for 25 years and have always ordered from Mr. Lee. Good consistent Chinese take out. In the past year or maybe a bit more they have never once gotten my order right. The ribs used to be juicy and succulent now they are dry and tough. The chicken dishes used to be yummy chicken now it's hard to find the chicken. They nickle and dime you to death and charge that ridiculous credit card fee. The delivery men have often been rude and dirty. I am sorry to say but I will no longer be a patron. Sad. read more

Man I want to go here and eat but they have been closed since this pandemic started I hope they open soon

honestly, this is what you expect with a fast-delivery chinese restaurant. it came incredibly fast and was what i expected. i got steamed chicken and string beans with white rice and fried plantains. the chicken was kinda slimy and the fried plantains were just large, unseasoned, fried discs of plantain. but you get why you pay for. read more

Love this place. The food is always delicious, it never fails. Delivery is always on time and the food is always warm. The prices are good too! I highly recommend this place. I personally think it's the best Chinese food place in alphabet city. read more

The food here was really, really bad--have no idea how it has 4 stars. The sesame chicken was almost 95% fat even though I paid extra for white meet and the fried rice on the side was bland. Super oily, tasteless food. read more

Beware! The food here is pretty good, depending on what you get. Some is dry and bland. I just ordered delivery of my favorite item and (for the second time) they have screwed my order up. Look, I know this happens so I try to be understanding. But when correcting my order, they made me pay the difference... Fine, I'm not looking for a handout. But then they made me give them the wrong food back! Gross! What if I had licked everything? What if I had thrown it into the trash in a hungry rage only to fish it back out before returning it to them? WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO WITH THE FOOD? It was in my apartment for 25+ minutes. read more

These guys are by far the fastest for deliveries that I've experienced. The shrimp with broccoli in garlic sauce and the beef chow fun are what we usually get from here.they don't send fortune cookies unless you ask for em, and once during the winter the food got here a bit cold. But overall I still recommend them, they're pretty consistent. read more

My go-to chinese take out spot. Typical take-out chinese but not overly greasy. Great for late night munchies or snowy nights. Broccoli & garlic is so yumm. Dumplings are a little bit on the doughy side. i love when they include a free soda :) read more

I placed an order through paypal. About 40 minutes later... Not bad considering its the lunch crowd time. However after opening my order I realized an item was missing. I quickly called them to let them know and the lady on the phone had me back and fourth trying to explain to her what occurred for about 15 minutes she kept placing me on hold. Finally she suddenly understands me and tella me she wont be sending me my item due to the fact that they are busy. She would send it to me tomorrow. And ask me if its okay not giving me another optio. Because she refuses to send the item I paid for. To top it all off I found 2 hairs in the reat of my order. Great most terrible service ever! read more

Ooooooo lawd the chicken was bomb! I also got the chicken and broccoli which hit the spottt. I felt like I died and was brought back to life. Definitely your go to place after hanging out in the East Village/St.Marks area! read more

Our favorite spot for cheap Chinese. It's like a normal greasy Chinese spot you'd find anywhere... But better. My favorite is broccoli & tofu in peanut sauce. It wasn't until living in a different neighborhood that I realized A&C is better than the rest. Their $5 tofu burger dinner dinners are a reliable and fast lunch. Their employees are always friendly. The only downside is some of the other people that frequent this place. I've gotten into a few arguments with fellow patrons that don't mind their Ps & Qs. Being rude to those that work in the service industry doesn't help anyone. read more

Definitely my go to Chinese place. I love their dumplings and their food doesn't make me feel sick or like garbage like every other Chinese food place I have eaten. read more

HORRIBLE ! Lady who takes order doesn't know what she's talking about when you order. We ordered a double cheeseburger they send only one and when you ask to speak to manager it def was an Indian man covering up because MR.LEE the owner would I hope not let this occur. Sad because this place used to be good now they're expensive , greasy as heck and obviously have horrible customer service ! I'll never order again from here. They lied said we paid for one cheeseburger and that if we want another one he has to pay extra . Look at your menu dummy it is ok to just get a double cheeseburger by itself it does not need frenchfries unless you want it ! Dummy ! read more

The best thing about living in east village is you can get great food in minutes walk. This place is not that impressive, but good enough food for a quick lunch. Tried boneless short ribs, it was not that grease and really comparable to what I got from Chinatown. They also have some healthy, oil-free choice, should try next time. read more

Best Chinese food outside of Chinatown. Extemely fast delivery and great prices. You can order anything you like even if it's not on the menu. For example, you can request things like bok choy, Chinese broccoli, various sauces, or Chinese noodle soups that are not displayed. read more

I've been ordering here for years and have never had an issue with them. Their service is very fast and they're orders are always made right. They even delivered during the blizzard. Honestly I have no complaints, not to mention their food is always fresh. read more

The Best Chinese Food on the Lower East Side. Fast Delivery. Friendly Service. Clean Restaurant.

LOVE the curry tofu and hot n sour soup! I used to work right next door back when the bar was called 9C. Im by no means a vegan/hippie freak but the tofu was cubed, fried and drenched in curry goodness! Lee is a hell of a cook with that wok! Couldnt tell ya how many times he whipped me up something at 4am to soak up the booze!! read more

What can I say that has not already been said in other reviews? They do seem to put extra ingredients that you would not expect in a take out Chinese place. The food taste good and I don't get made when they tell me the price for my meal! read more

The best Chinese Food in the east village.The food is always good and the delivery is puncture.

A typical Chinese take out. Good, fast, solid. Everything you'd expect.

Honestly pretty damn good for what it may seem. Fantastic prices. My friend once asked them for 45 egg rolls and they were done crazy fast and all were piping hot. Almost didn't even make sense. So good. read more

Worst Chinese food I've had in decades. Bland dusty tasting soup, dumplings with a wad of goo instead of dumpling skins, tasteless salad. Cheap ingredients lazily prepared, arrived cold. Don't bother! read more

Not very flavorful; I have had far better Chinese food. The duck was bland, the crispy chicken was crispy but very dry and bland. Try somewhere else first. read more

Only place I've ever seen open at 4:30 AM serving fresh shrimp fried rice like it was lunchtime. I was then living around the corner and working at the time and when you live and work in NYC dinner or lunch can be anytime and this place delivers great Chinese food! I ordered and was almost instantly handed a box and bag and I walked out thanking them. As I walking I opened the box and grabbed my chopsticks popped open the top and to my surprise I saw shrimp galore like more shrimp than rice! Order from this place and it's resonably priced concidering where it is located. read more
