Good tasting food, waited around 10 minutes and it came out fresh. Ambiance wise it's a Chinese takeout not a sit down eatery. Clean place

This a convenient little take out spot -although they do have tables to eat in. I suspect most of their business is take out. I recommend the combination. Rice, entre and egg roll for $9.99 is a good deal these days. I had sweet and sour pork. The food is good for the price. Clean, quick service and nice people. read more

Very clean and great food, though nothing particularly unique. But as far as regular chinese places go it was great. read more

Back home for the holidays and decided to check this place out since it's hard to find good Chinese restaurants in San Diego. The food here was so good! We ended up ordering shrimp fried rice, vegetable lo mein, orange chicken, and beef with vegetables. Loved every- - single- bite! read more

Big order for Christmas party. Possibly the best General Tso I have ever eaten, and I have eaten a lot of General Tso. Did I say I like General Tso? We ordered "little spicy" because we were not sure, and that was the right decision. Might order a bit more spicy next time. If I remember correctly, there's five levels of spicy. Pork fried rice also very good. Egg drop soup very good. Sha Cha chicken might be my next Chinese takeout go-to. Similar to General Tso but different. Have not yet tried the Hot and Sour soup but it's waiting for me. Good Hot and Sour is hard to find. I will update once I try it. Giving this one 5/5 on the Chinese takeout scale. read more

UPDATE 11/24/24: ** Warning ** Check your CC Statement! New ownership has made some lovely changes, but some things are having me change my 5-star review to a 2-star. The good: - Warmer, brighter interior - When they get it right, their food can be quite good! - Love the warming-bag they keep orders in for pickup.. great idea! The less-good: - Very inconsistent. Sometimes good, often lacking spice and flavor - Ordered pork fried rice in last order -- NO actual strips of pork, just tiny dots of red pork !! SURPRISE CHARGES !! This is a big deal. After reviewing our recent receipt and looking at our CC charge, we saw the following: + $1 Processing Fee (for CC?) + $6.82 "Service Charge" ?!!!! For what?! This was not disclosed. !! The receipt total was $57.30. Our CC statement shows they charged $59.02, so they added an additional 3% to the final total post service-charges. ?!!! Without consent.. and again -- for what? So $9 in "hidden fees". Not proper. I will go in and talk with them to try and better understand, but for now, buyer beware! read more

Update... I'm not sure if ownership has changed or what. Whatever has happened it hasn't been for the better. We order once every few months for at least twenty years. We moved across town and still ordered from there. The last three times the food has been horrendous. I used to love their dumplings. They have 100% changed. They now seem like the frozen cheap Wegmans brand. The fried rice has no flavor and most of their dishes taste like they were prepared in old oil. I don't know what happened. We went back after the first bad experience thinking we might have caught them on a bad day. We gave them two more chances, but nope, we're done. I used to enjoy going in and seeing the young woman that worked out front. She's been gone also. I do not recommend Chinese Cookery anymore. Sorry. read more

I ordered lo mein pork and wonton soup and it was terrible. The worst crap disgusting tasteless fatty horrible Chinese food I've ever eaten in my life. Steer clear this place is a big huge dud. read more

Sorry to say but the food was awful. Tasteless fried rice. Pork Chow Mein was the same. Cashew chicken was just barely ok. Chicken was dry and over all seasoning had an off taste read more

Went here bec nearby Wok 28 is closed on Mondays. Was disappointed. Hot and sour soup was just ok, not even close to as good as the one I got at Wok 28 in the last week. Noodles weren't good. Egg rolls were small and pretty much only cabbage inside. No pork noticeable. Pork lo mein was probably best; had a fair amount of pork but had the most sauce I've ever had with lo mein. Usually it's just ever so slightly coated with stir fry sauce and/or oil but this had way more which isn't a good thing. Also I ordered online and they didn't confirm a pickup time by phone or text; I called and they said it's ready. When picking up I asked if they let customers know their order is ready and I was told by the guy that he didn't know. Also they charge a processing fee which makes no sense. read more

Ordered quick for myself cause husband wanted to eat elsewhere in the plaza and what a treat! I got the Egg Drop Soup and Lemon Chicken and they were both delicious! The soup was very tasty and the Lemon Chicken was perfect! Got it to go so didn't get much else on the experience but the taste is enough to keep going back! read more

My go to Chinese restaurant for years. Never had a complaint. Spent over $50 and the one thing I bought for myself was Teriyaki Chicken. Usually it's saucy and moist. Today over cooked, dry and couldn't eat the rest. read more

Chinese Cookery - 16. Teriyaki Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Getzville, New York

We were pretty satisfied with our order here today. We ordered Bourbon chicken, Chicken Lo Mein and General Tso's chicken. The portion sizes are huge, and the food was hot and fresh. I really loved the Bourbon chicken - very flavorful. The food overall is slightly salty, but other than that, everything was pretty good. :) read more

This place is basically a takeout restaurant. A very young kid was running the register yet he was nice and professional which gave the place a certain charm. There are just a couple of tables to eat at. I wish they had chopsticks set out, because I had to use a flimsy plastic fork. Had the General Tso tofu which was cooked well and the sauce was tasty and it came with a side of rice. All in all a good experience and good food. read more

I've been getting food from here for the past few years and it was absolutely amazing. Now within the past two months something changed, the food is now TERRIBLE. It's gooey, overcooked and tastes completely different. I'm not sure what's going on here but they lost my business completely. read more

This place is one of my favorite Chinese takeout restaurants in all of Western new York. They are fast, efficient, they get the order right on the first try, and the food is consistently excellent. You can get your egg foo young without sauce or with sauce on the side, your cold sesame noodles with extra peanut sauce, they accommodate all requests. This place has been around certainly for 30 years and possibly longer. They deliver, and they have never let me down. read more

I have been a customer of Chinese Cookery for over 20 years. The new owners are not forthright by charging a "convenience fee for using a credit card. This was not told to me .when I called to question the extra charge I was told that is there new policy. Their greed has cost them a long term customer . The food quality was not very good either. New is not better read more

Ordered through Uber Eats. Delivery took an hour longer than stated. Order was wrong. Missing won ron soup and can't tell what the entree is but it's definitely not chicken chop suey. read more

I have to say this is a pretty good Chinese spot. I've been here a few times now and the bourbon chicken is on point. I love that they have real eggrolls and not spring rolls as some places do. The food is definitely reasonably priced and good portion size. I usually get a combination platter and with the side I substitute rice for Lo mein and a shrimp eggroll. This is one of my favorite places to get Chinese although I do need to try something different on the menu. Call ahead and food is always ready when you arrive! read more

My go to Chinese place. The portions and prices are good, never disappointed. I always get the crab rangoons, sesame come noodles and dumplings, always good. read more

Excellent food and service. Prices are very reasonable. I suggest take out or delivery because they only have a few tables.

One of my favorite fast food chinese restaurant. I'm not like a super big fan of chinese fast food but this is the our to go to place when we do want some. The price is super afforable compare to many other chinese fast food places. They give you a good amount of food for the price you pay. My boyfriend loves their sesame chicken combination because of how crispy the chicken is and the quantity. I love getting their friend chicken wings. They smell so good and tastes great even though it is not healthy for you. The price for the friend chicken is definitely cheaper than most places. I believe they are only $4.75 for an order. I love getting their Chow Ho Fun. Not many chinese fast food places makes ho fun noodles and I'm glad I found a place that makes this for a very decent price! read more

I kneeled down in a puddle of Chai Tea, and now I have Chai Knees. But hey, there are worse things to have such as nuts swimming in your curry like its going out of fascism. Some of the worst Chinese food I've had in Buffalo, but they make the effort, and they cut out the MSG which is appreciated, and their prices are dirt cheap, so 3 stars is fine. But the shrimp curry had very little curry or spice taste, was not moist at all, and was honestly mostly nuts. I don't mean nuts like crazy, although it's crazy to think anyone would like their shrimp curry to be full of nuts. The Nutty Professor would love the hell out of this place. read more

One of the best take out Chinese restaurants in this area. We had the bourbon chicken, orange chicken, and chicken lo mein combinations meals. Everything was excellent. The egg rolls are really good. Portion sizes are generous. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for good quick Chinese take out. read more

I love this place. Definitely not the cheapest but not too expensive, it is certainly authentic. When I walked in the front door it smells like a Chinese buffet rightfully should. I went up to the counter grabbed my food that I ordered online and was cashed out by a 7-year-old boy who could barely see over the counter. As he slowly grabbed his step stool to reach the counter didn't really speak to me just told me a number and got me some change. Can't complain though! The food is amazing, definitely worth a try! read more

The Chinese cookery is one of our favorite Chinese spots. You can tell the food is made well and authentic. The staff is friendly, and the food is delicious as well as cost friendly. The portions were great during lunch as well. We will definitely be back! The crab Rangoon is the best but it would be even better if they filled them more, other than that 10/10 read more

My coworker had told me about this place, and said that they had $5 lunch specials. With that price in mind, I had to go try it for myself! The restaurant is located in a plaza that is pretty busy during the day because there are other shops there, such as Dollar General, Subway, Elmos, Pho restaurant and Bank of America. Upon walking in, I noticed that there were only a couple of tables in there. While you can opt to eat in, it is probably designed more so for pickups. The lady behind the counter was very nice and cordial. She even smiled at me!! I placed my lunch order, which was beef and broccoli and it came with rice and soup... All for about $5.35 plus tax! Not bad. Without ordering ahead, my food was packed and ready to go in about 5 minutes. The beef and broccoli was pretty good, and like many other beef/broccoli entrees at any other Chinese restaurants. The soup (wonton) was a little bland and flavorless though. In the bigger scheme of things and for $5 lunches, I had a good experience... 3.5 stars for the food but 5 stars for price, with an overall score of 4 out of 5 stars. read more

New owners, now food is poor quality and bad tasting. Shame, it was my favorite Chinese in Amherst area. I will give them one more try (3rd time) before I move on. read more

Tasty Chinese take out. We got the chicken with mixed vegetable combo platter (comes with pork fried rice and an egg roll) and the general Tsao's chicken combo platter. They general Tsao's was good, but it was VERY spicy! I really liked the egg rolls - very crunchy and tasty! read more

Great food and portions. The owners are very nice as well! Great spot for American Chinese.

Food is always fresh and staff is great. It's my go to for Chinese. Love it here. Only wish it was closer to my house.

So so good. My new favorite cheese food place. I ordered from here after giving birth a few months ago and when I returned home I could not remember the name of this place. I'm so happy to have found it again and it's just as good as I remember. They have the BEST crab Rangoon. The good kind that's folded up into a little pouch. They're the crispiest ones I've ever had. Everything we ordered was delish. Will be back soon ! read more

I took one star off because even though the food is good here, the delivery guy sucks. With the money I spend here I should not have to go outside to meet him to get my food because hes too lazy to get off his A. This happened the last three times I ordered from here. I'll take my business elsewhere. read more

This place has a lot going for it: inexpensive, huge portions (I got 3 meals out of this), good flavors, and excellent tofu. There are a decent amount of vegetable options. If you are vegetarian or vegan be sure to specify no fish. Over the phone they told me it's in a lot of their sauces and dishes. (Some restaurants consider fish vegetarian somehow) that being said I was super happy with the house brown (garlic) sauce. Have ordered from here twice and will be going back! read more

Chinese Cookery - Mixed vegetables with tofu in brown (garlic) sauce. - Chinese Near Me - Getzville, New York

Amazing place my personal favorite is the chicken with garlic sauce or the tofu and broccoli. Best Chinese food in the area

The food is always great. The service is friendly and on time. It's our go to Chinese Food!

The food from this place is usually good but I had the worst experience yesterday. I ordered the chicken lo mein meal ahead of time online so that it would be ready for me to pick up. When I got to the restaurant, the lady told me she forgot and I had to stand and wait there about 15 minutes for them to make my order. Once I got home and started to eat, my food had not one, but TWO LONG pieces of hair in it. I was so disgusted and upset. read more

As like most places I try for the first time, I value and depend on others' Yelp reviews. Unlike most of my detailed reviews, I can sum up this review in just a few sentences. For starters, the place is FILTHY, FILTHY, FILTHY. My mistake was not walking out before ordering. The service was rude. The food? Hands down the worst meal I have had in years. Barely edible. UPDATE: Shouldn't have eaten! In less than 24 hours my insides are revolting and suggesting the health inspector revisit. read more

My friend and I absolutely love this place. The have the best general tsos I've had in a long time. Get them through uber eats. I get two dinners for the price of one ots awesome Check it out. Especially the chefs specials. read more
