Chicken with Broccoli (lunch portion)
Delphine C.

I had this delivered today at work and I will say they quoted us 45 minutes for the food and it came in like half the time, so they are super speedy which is nice. Prices are fair. Only downside was the food did not taste as good as other Chinese I've had in the area. I got the lunch chicken and broccoli with fried rice and the fried rice had literally no flavor or any toppings in it. It tasted like bland white rice and had maybe 2 peas in the whole thing. The chicken also wasn't the best, but at least it had flavor. Also had wonton soup that was good, just nothing special.

Mongolian Beef inedible

Ordered Mongolian Beef and stating "spicy" was an understatement. This was INEDIBLE, the dish was thrown away. We could not finish it and immediately caused intense heartburn and indigestion issues. Something like this should not be sent, does nobody taste while making dishes to make sure their clients are receiving good dishes. Will never order or eat here again.

I was so happy to find a Chinese takeout place that had vegan protein options, most notably that…read moremany of the chicken items could be made with tofu! I got the Sesame Tofu, and it was a good-sized portion of nicely fried tofu and lots of perfectly cooked broccoli. My boyfriend got the Garlic Chicken combo dinner and he was pleasantly surprised with everything, even the wonton soup that came with his meal. The guy working there that day was not expecting us to want to dine in, since it seems like all of their customers order takeout or delivery, but he gladly gave us some disposable plates and plastic utensils after we got our food in takeout containers. He was very nice and seemed both appreciative and amused that I attempted to speak in Cantonese with him (I am very rusty). Again, since it's a takeout spot, there were only two small tables inside and no outdoor seating, but it was extremely clean inside and very bright, unlike most Chinese takeout spots. Would happily come back here and try other tofu dishes!

Going to retry tonight after 3 years. Parking difficult and need to turn around on powerline…read moreinconvenient. We thought prices were excessive 3 years ago. I'll update my post after retry. Here's the update. 2 combo dinners were $49. Mongolian Beef my wife enjoyed. My kung pao chicken was satisfactory but not special. Our two sides were egg rolls which are large and good. Florida thick skin egg rolls. In Chicago there is a thinner skin preferred by us - but wtf do we know using knives and forks for pizza. I digress. My hot n sour soup EXCELLENT. We opted for white rice with both orders. Order ready as promised in 15 minutes. Again - the parking is difficult and high curb along with tree roots make exiting my car a challenge. I recommend parking to the South of the building and getting some exercise with less risk of falling.

I figured I'll try out this place and it's closed to home . I just couldn't believe it was fast food Chinese takeout. Everything tasted so FRESH. I also stopped by one day. There was a lady, whom greeted me with my food. She was very friendly and accommodating. I wished, I asked for name Thank you .... Thank you . PLEASE, don't change anything.

This is an update of my last review about a year ago. It's…read moreNew Years Eve as I type this My wife and I have done all the New Years Eves together for the last 65 or so years. We lived in NY for three quarters of our married life, and have done all the night clubs. all the Broadway shows. all the restaurants, and all the after hours clubs any two people can do. It's time for the young ones to play.....so we ordered Chinese ,...had it delivered....just finished eating and it was perfect. Mixed WonTon and Egg Drop soup, egg rolls, Pork Lo Mein , Shrimp Chow Mein, Mongolian Beef, and pork fried rice. Sounds like a lot? Well it was. We like to " taste" and always over order. The food was fabulous as always. Literally cooked to perfection. When I asked forget I no salt in our soup , that's how it was prepared.. It's a takeout restaurant , I/we think the best in Boca. Some will say that's a low bar. Coming from NYC we've had the best. In South Florida good Chinese restaurants and takeout places are hard to come by. I have s favorite restaurant in Boca and this is my favorite " takeout So we end 2025 , content, happy and looking forward to 2026! Wishing you all a Happy and Healthy New Year.

Red Pine - *Chinese Sticky Spare Ribs

Red Pine

Some of the best meals happen in places you'd never think to look…read more Like... inside an office building lobby. Red Pine Restaurant is exactly that kind of spot. Tucked away, low key, almost hiding in plain sight. You walk in expecting corporate coffee and awkward small talk... and instead you find upscale, elegant Chinese food that feels like it belongs in a much flashier zip code. This place is worth the hunt. Inside, it's polished without being stiff. Clean, calm, and quietly confident. The kind of place that doesn't need to shout because it knows exactly what it's doing. We went family style, which is the move here. Portions are generous, built for sharing, built for trying everything, built for making bad decisions in the best way. Started with the wonton soup. The wontons themselves? Excellent. Tender, flavorful, clearly made with care. The broth had depth, real flavor, not just salty filler. Only note... I wish it came out hotter. It showed up just above room temp, which felt like a missed opportunity because the flavor deserved better. Then the pork egg rolls showed up and completely stole the show. Game over. Crispy on the outside, not greasy, packed with flavor. Every bite hit. This wasn't just a good egg roll. This was the best egg roll I've had in Florida. No debate. No hesitation. Crown it. Shrimp shu mai came next and changed the pace in the best way. Light, delicate, elegant. Like the calm after the egg roll storm. Then the mains landed. Beef with sesame and broccoli. Absolute winner. Cooked just right, balanced, rich without being heavy. The kind of dish you keep going back to even when you tell yourself you're full. Chicken lo mein sealed the deal. No gimmicks. Just done right. Noodles had the perfect texture, everything balanced, everything working. Final verdict. Five stars. Easy. Hidden location. Elevated food. One minor temperature hiccup that didn't stand a chance against how good everything else was. Find it. Order too much. Thank me later.

This place has been hit or miss for us which is a shame as it could really be a star!…read more During our last visit it took around 10 minutes for our server to come to our table. Pleople got seated all around us (after we sat down) and got drinks, noodles and even ordered before our server made it our to our table. Also, we seem to gravitate back to only few things on their Dim Sum and Dumplings menu like the ribs & soup dumplings. We still find their main menu limiting and missing things especially since we don't eat beef or fried items. We also had their Mu Shu and it was so watery, the pancakes didn't hold up. Too bad they stopped with the specials as we occassionally got a nice fish dish or something different to try. Time to keep hunting for other places to keep in our rotation. Also, I tried their Noodle soup bowl for lunch one day and it states it comes with 4 wonton. Mine only had 3. I messaged them and never heard back.

YES! YES! YES! YES AGAIN!…read more My boyfriend and I had date night last Saturday, and it was our first time dining here. The staff was really nice, the restaurant was super clean, and the ingredients were fresh. I had the spicy Taiwanese soup base. My boyfriend had the Coconut Tom Yum. We enjoyed a nice selection of different meats such as pork, lamb, and beef. Seafood options include shrimp, squid, and octopus. Quail eggs, frog legs (if you're into that :), and tofu. The conveyor belt was super fun because you could watch it as it went by and pick up whatever garnishes you wanted. Green onions, mushrooms, parsley, cilantro, cauliflower ... I could go on and on. We also had dessert. My favorite is the red bean and macha ice cream! Can't wait to go back! ***ALSO order the tea***

This place is in a outdoor shopping plaza. Plenty of parking lot parking. We came at about 5:30 on…read morea Saturday and we're seated right away but by the time we left around 6:30 the place was poppin' and there was definitely a wait. This place offers a set price for Hot pot and is buffets style as well as conveyor belt delivery for veggies; you just swipe what you want. You start by picking a soup of choice and then you gather the food you need, cook it yourself in the pot and there are instructions and available on the wall for cooking times. It's relatively straightforward. Be careful with how much you grab as they will charge you for any excessive leftovers. I got the tom kha and my fiance got the tom yum. He found his soup to be a little on the lemony side for his taste but I think that's just a preference not a reflection of the quality of the soup. I loved my coconutty tom kha. Our waiter showed us how to operate the dial and gave us information about cooking time recommendation. We ordered some hot tea and had a wonderful time. The buffet appeared to be clean and the food fresh and well kept. I tried a variety of meat as well as seafood. The shrimp had a little bit of a previously frozen kind of taste but the scallops were excellent. I think in the end I'm not a big fan of the red meat even though it cooks quickly and tastes fine I just think preference wise I more so enjoyed loading up on the vegetables and noodles. The best thing I had there was the gyoza, so freaking good, highly recommend. It is worth noting that my fiance love the meat, so the great thing about this place is the variety and how multiple people can sit down and enjoy what they like, together. Drop by!

Lately, I've been getting tired of eating the same things at the same places. Looking to shake it…read moreup tonight, I decided to make a visit with the family to Mr. Shens! Going inside, the restaurant felt vibrantly red and welcoming. Fortunately, there were a good amount of open tables and we were seated quickly. Tonight we ordered 1x chicken with garlic sauce, 1x chow fun, 1x spare ribs, 1x hot & sour soup, 1x egg drop soup, 1x wonton soup, and 2x eggrolls. Going in with my review,*disclosure: not the largest fan of Chinese food* but the food was great! The chicken with garlic sauce had a well balanced sauce, chicken was very tender, fresh assortment of vegetables, garlic wasn't overpowering! My favorite dish of the night was the chow fun! It had those bouncy chewy noodles, savory sauce, and tender strips of char siu pork! The spareribs (char siu) had a sticky delectable salty sweet bbq sauce, and were on the bone tender! Only critique for the night was that the hot & sour soup could've used more white pepper or that hot factor. Egg drop had tender swirls of silky egg and a refreshing light broth. The wonton soup had a clear flavorful broth, nicely cooked wontons; for extra flavor I add the hot mustard IYKYK! The eggrolls weren't your typical hollow shells as they were packed with minced pork meat and tasted fresh fried to order! Overall, we were very pleased with both the food and service tonight. For these reasons, we'd be happy to give Mr. Shens 5/5 stars!
