Excellent tasting food. At first glance, the menu looks a bit higher priced than many, but the portions are quite generous and usually include a really good dessert. Consistency is most important to us, and they are spot-on. We have been going there for 30+ years and have never had a bad dish. Highly recommended. read more

Very unfortunate experience at Bird Nest Tree. They don't accommodate any modifications to the menu. I wanted to give them a fair chance because the interior of the restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. The modifications that I asked for was that I wanted plain fried rice as opposed to pork. The restaurant owner said they couldn't do it without charging me a dollar extra because the rice comes precooked with pork. Not good. Other than this issue it seems like a nice restaurant. read more

Prices are significantly higher than all the other places and the chicken they use is low grade china gardens directly down the street is 1000 times better and signicantly less in price this owner is out of touch with the market of today read more

The food is sub par - that's cool but you are charging for good food- Where's the good food ? I am sure there are people that have no clue what good Chinese food taste like and if they keep eating here they will never know - I did eat the food that I was served but I had better in other local Chinese restaurants - best day of week to eat here is Tuesday read more

This place is TERRIBLE. The employees and the owner are just rude and incredibly nasty. And NOTE...the menu has NOTHING to do with what they will charge you. They ALWAYS have an excuse as to why they charge more than you expect and it's BS. We finally had enough and didn't even order ---just got up and walked out. Oh l'est I forget ......the bathrooms are DISGUSTING read more

We came here for lunch. I'd seen a comment on a thread on FB regarding good Chinese restaurants and bookmarked this place for a future visit. There was one young gal working and she greeted and seated us; she also waited on the entire room by herself and took our payment at the end. They have a smaller lunch menu. I chose one of the combos and my husband opted for a soup and an appetizer. The combos came with a choice of soup -- wonton or egg drop. I chose the wonton. It was okay. My husband liked his hot and sour soup as it had water chestnuts in it. It was decent, but not great. The crispy noodles on the table were overcooked, that is hard and dark brown. For my entree, I chose their pork egg foo yung. There were two huge patties stuffed with bean sprouts and pork pieces. They were good along with the accompanying brown sauce. I wound up sharing some with my husband as it was a large portion. You could have fried rice or white rice, too, and I chose white. My husband said his egg roll was okay -- the skin a bit thicker than expected. I'm glad we stopped by. Now we know. read more

Stopped in for a Chinese lunch and looked over the Lunch Specials being offered. I was trying to be good before a doctor's appointment next week so I just had the Hot and Sour soup and a egg roll. Service was prompt and attentive. Our meals were delivered in a short time. My Hot and Sour soup was piping hot and good. I enjoyed the water chestnuts in my soup. The Egg roll was good, standard fare. read more

We door dashed bbq spareribs ribs , chicken & broccoli, crab Rangoon & egg rolls . The chix & broccoli was extremely Bland lacking any flavor whatsoever & the broccoli was very over cooked almost mushy. The spareribs were dry & overcooked. The crab Rangoon was overdone as well , fried too much ! The eggrolls were tasteless & rubbery. The cost of this order was on the high end .This was our first time ordering and it will also be our last . Very disappointed read more

Good service, very pleasant. We shared Sweet & Sour Chicken and Chicken Chow Mein & Spring Rolls. Everything was tasty, served nicely & there was plenty of food. The prices were a little high but the food & service made up for it. The restaurant is nice inside & very clean. Overall a really nice experience. We will definitely go there again, read more

Prices are way too expensive. Food is good but not so good to be that expensive. Good service. Clean and nice.

Sit down Chinese restaurant. You could do worse. We had cold sesame noodles which were not too bad. Tasted pretty good. I had sweet and sour shrimp, with the sauce on the side. Hard to do anything really wrong to this. Deep fried shrimp, sauce was pretty good. Also ordered egg foo young. They forgot the gravy (this was a takeout order). I mean, EFY is an omelet. It made my companion happy, but seriously, theres nothing Chinese about that all. Even less so than the other stuff we ordered. But whatever. Everyone was happy with their food. I guess I'll try some other stuff there another time. read more

What can I say? I guess Bird Nest Tree does not hit like it used to. I have been going to Bird Nest Tree since 2021, as I enjoy good Chinese food and for a good amount of time, it fit the bill. However, as of late, it has started to slip off a bit, mainly due to inconsistencies with the food , which while OK, is not quite what it used to be. While Bird Nest Tree is not bad, I have discovered better Chinese restaurants, like Golden Pavilion in Jupiter, closer to my work, which makes the inconsistency all the more glaring. The one thing that has remained consistent is the atmosphere, which evokes sit down Chinese restaurants common in the New York City Area, especially those that came about around the 1950s. Entering Birds Nest, you will find that to the left of the host/hostess stand, there is a large fish tank that greets you, just like in the Chinese restaurants of yore. To the left of the host/hostess stand, you then enter the dining room, which has plush booths lining the left and right sides of the restaurant, tables in the dining room, and hanging light fixtures from the ceiling. Overall, the atmosphere of Birds Nest has me waxing nostalgic. Additionally, Birds Nest is as clean as ever, which is excellent! As far as the food goes, it has usually been hit or miss as of late. When I go here, I usually steer towards poultry or seafood dishes. The quality of the proteins used are fine for the most part, but its the preparation of the dishes, namely in the spicing where the inconsistencies have cropped up. As far as seafood goes, I have enjoyed the Garlic Shrimp, which use medium size shrimp and are served with mixed vegetables in a piquant and garlicky sauce. Although the chicken in the Szechuan Chicken is juicy and tender, I have found that although the pepper-based sauce is supposed to be spicy, it has been kind of on the bland side, marring the dish, especially in comparison to other Chinese restaurants where I have had the same dish. Another dish that I used to like, but I am not a fan of as much would be the Whole Fish, as it has been far more bones than meat (I understand whole fish has bones, but where's the beef er fish?), which is a shame as it is served in a fragrant ginger-based sauce. As far as dishes I still enjoy, I would say the Chicken Mei Fun, which has juicy and tender chicken and sharp scallions served over pleasantly chewy thin rice mei fun noodles is one of these dishes. Additionally, although it is a treat, the Roast Duck, which are pieces of tender duck that also have a crispy and pleasantly greasy skin. The Roast Duck is served with a sweet and salty hoisin sauce as well as sharp scallions. As far as the service goes, it is not quite as good as it once was, namely due to the departure of Jackson, who was an outstanding waiter thanks to his larger than life personality and precision at the job of waiting tables. The other waitress I have dealt with, whose name escapes me, is not bad by any means, but not in the same league as Jackson. Judy, the Owner, is as nice and hardworking as ever though. Price wise, Birds Nest is in line with other Chinese restaurants in the Boynton-Delray-Boca Area. While I appreciate Birds Nest nostalgic atmosphere as well as its convenience, I feel a three star or "OK" rating by Yelp standards sums up this place best these days, as the food, while OK for the most part, is imperfect and better options exist. read more

Interesting 3.5 Service excellent (especially since it was packed for Christmas eve). That was key to rating Food was basically American Chinese. But we had mu shu beef, lo mein, and sesame beef. The mu shu was actually quite good. (And large). The sesame beef was good, but smaller portion. Since the 5 of us shared 3 main dishes, they charged two $8 sharing charges, but that got us all soups, and 2 choices of eggs roll, ice cream and rice. So fair adder, even though never saw a sharring charges at Chinese restaurant before read more

Got takeout, wonton soup and pork egg foo young. It was disappointing. The soup was ok, but I did not like the egg foo young. The gravy had a strange flavor and the eggs were just ok. I prefer the version from Shanghai and Hunan Garden. read more

We came here for dinner and we were pleasantly surprised.I am not used to having decent Chinese food in Delray. I even ordered something off the menu - mah po to fu - it's one of my favs - and they did a good job with it. There was plenty of food - from the chicken to the beef as well as the soup and rice. Something for everyone! Make sure you check the hours so you don't show up 10 minutes before they close. We were very relaxed and were seated at a round table in the front. They are in the same shopping center as AAA. The decor is old school with comfy chairs. The restaurant is clean and the employees are friendly. Give it a whirl. read more

Just plain horrible. The food was disgusting! I think they gave me shrimp ( difficult to describe) because they were very tiny, flavorless and soggy. The vegetables were overcooked and the food was cold. I sent it back once and asked to microwave it and when it cans back lukewarm I tried to make the best of it. It's not the kind of place you want to send stuff back. Someone told us AFTER we ate that there was a Maggot in someone's food so why would people come back here to give it a second chance? It feels dirty. I asked to have the vegetable soup because I can't eat wontons, allergic to eggs and hot and sour is too spicy. The server asked the owner and she responded NO!!!! No offer to pay an upcharge or anything just NOOO!!! Worst Chinese food I ever had not only in Florida but anywhere in the country. Sad that anyone would come back here. read more

we decided at the last minute to go for Chinese food. We haven't been to Birdsnest for a long time. I must say, we were pleasantly surprised with the service and the food The wait staff was pleasant and courteous The two owners at the front greeted us with a smile and seated us quickly I had the three happiness dish with vegetables, shrimp, pork, and chicken . The brown sauce was excellent. My wife had the chicken chow mein, which also was excellent. We had wonton and a drop soup mixed Which was very good . The surprise of the evening was the noodles that were put on the table for our soup. These were not store-bought dry noodles these were made at the restaurant . They were crispy and tasted great.. This one I'll be I'll go to Chinese restaurant in Delray . read more

I ate there approx. 10+ years ago & tried it again this evening. Now I remember why it;'s been so long. I ordered 5 different dishes and one was worse than the next. To sum up their "food" ..... It's SNOT in cardboard boxes, at today's out-of-touch prices. Literally each dish was disgusting, both in lack of taste and horrific consistency! read more

Ordered online for the first time in 25 years,easy order boneless ribs,quart of pork fried rice, two orders of egg rolls. So you know this 60.00 order is for TWO people. I tipped 15 percent for a pick up order. I got 1 homemade duck sauce and 1 hot mustard. I asked for another of each as two people use 1 and one to eat.She said I would have to pay for it. This woman is not a buisness woman to loose a very old loyal customer even through Covid over a sause. My husband and I have made a stand. We will find another place that appreciates our buisness. read more

I ate at the Birds Nest Tree a number of months ago. I went back today and the first thing I noticed was a major increase in prices versus what I remember it was. The restaurant was expensive. The menu and food quality does not justify it. I consider the choices as "American Chinese" versus other places I have been too. The food quality I considered so-so before but this time I had the Chow fun and it was good and plentiful dish. Nevertheless I don't think the quality and menu choices justified the prices they charge read more

Stopped in for lunch with my family. They offer lunch specials on Saturdays. Entree comes with soup and fried rice. Dishes are in the $10-12 range. Soups are very fresh and shine here. Fried rice was a little dry. Shrimp dishes are great and the shrimp and veggies were fresh. When you picture an old school Chinese restaurant, this is what you see. Decor is a bit dated, but the restaurant is clean and comfortable. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Would definitely stop by here again for lunch if in the area. read more

Did takeout. Been there before and enjoyed it. Prices had gone up in 2 weeks. Portions had gotten smaller. Sauces were watery. My husband ordered Szechuan chicken and complained of lack of flavor. I hate spicy and tasted it. It was really tasteless. Very disappointing experience. I'll probably give it another chance with my friends, but my husband will never go back. read more

I tried the Szechuan Shrimp, unfortunately not spicy at all. It had green and red peepers, broccoli, mushrooms, pea pods ,and onions. Just OK. Comes with a choice of Wonton or Egg Drop Soup, Hot & Sour Soup 50¢ extra , Egg Roll and Pork Fried Rice. read more

Service sucked. Took forever. They were more interested in take-out orders Server kept apologizing. Food was bland very mediocre. Have been there many times over the years. Definitely has gone downhill. Do not recommend at all. read more

Sad but true the food is probably eh at best! Prices are ridiculous. The wontons have the tiniest amount of meat in them like if you can find it it's amazing and the roast pork in the soup taste like it's five days old and then they slice it down for soup. Five dollars for a pint of mix soup with two wontons neither which had the tiniest bit of meat and you're eating noodle soup and only two noodles. read more

Pollo tropical The grilled half chicken was tasty. Also had rice and beans and plantains. They forgot a few sides and don't offer the tomato salad anymore. If I go back I'll open the bag before I go. Staff you wouldn't want to hang out with. read more

As my friend Brian said "when we walked out, the average age in this restaurant went up 15 years." Sometimes you should just leave nostalgia in your head where it belongs because the reality doesn't live up to your memories of what this stuff once tasted like. Ugh. Avoid. read more

We have been coming to this Chinese restaurant for years , yet it as been years since we were here last. To tell you the truth I had a little sticker shock. It is so much more expensive than I remember. There was not one item on the early bird special less than $15. So, I just ordered Won Ton soup and my husband had the Chicken Cashew. The early bird items come with soup, fried rice, main course and a choice of pineapples or ice cream for dessert. We split the main course and there was ample food for both of us. The food was very good. The dining area is nicely decorated with soft music playing in the background. They do a big take-out business, so the phone was ringing off the hook. This was good for business, bad for people who eat in. Our service was quick. We got the check before we finished eating! Next time we come, we will probably do take out. read more
