Complimentary tea is served for the table. I ordered the L2. Crispy Garlic Chicken, 102. Yin Yang Chow Mei Fun, 2. Har Gow and white rice on the side. The chicken was my absolute favorite! It was perfectly crispy and so tasty. The mei fun and har gow were wonderful. Service was spectacular and food arrived quickly. Overall, the chicken stole the show for me and I definitely will be returning to get another order of this.

I'm a big fan of Cantonese cuisine, so I was excited to try Uncle Lou's! I went on a weekend…read moreevening, and they were PACKED. There was a wait list, tons of reservations, and the whole place was hustling and bustling. The food smelled amazing, and the ambiance was lively and fun overall. We were excited to eat! We were walk-ins, so I appreciated that they were able to get us in. The hostess was running a very tight ship - very "no BS"/no nonsense ... and hey, I get it, it was crazy, but at times it erred a bit unnecessarily rude? It just left me feeling a bit off, but not the end of the world. Food-wise, we tried a lot of different things. The highlight was honestly the scallion pancakes. They were DELISH! Not too doughy, not too dry, and the vinegar dipping sauce was amazing (I know it's just the standard vinegar but dang it's so good). It was a classic really well executed. The steamed pork dumplings were also quite yummy. For our mains, we got the garlic baby bok choy, beef chow fun, and kung pao chicken. The beef chow fun looked amazing and we had heard really good things about it, but unfortunately it was a little dry and lacked flavor... just sort of bland? We ended up pouring some of the vinegar sauce over it, which helped, but I was a little disappointed because it looked so good. The baby bok choy was really loaded it up with garlic chunks and was also yummy and a good portion. It was juicy and had a great texture, but my only note was that it felt like it needed just a little more seasoning or salt? Overall, though, it was good. The kung pao chicken was INTENSE. I knew it'd be spicy, but truthfully it was my first time ever trying it and it was a tad difficult to eat without rice. The chicken thighs had a texture that felt a little gummy to me? I wished the chicken had been a bit more browned too. The peanuts and veggies rocked, but the sauce and chicken were huge misses for us. I typically would never send anything back, but my friend insisted as it was tough to enjoy. They did take our dish from the table... but then a manager brought it back and was a bit condescending towards us saying they didn't do that and everyone knows it's a spicy dish... which, I'm trying to be fair about because he didn't know it was my first time, but it just again felt unnecessarily rude. I hate wasting food, so we kept it and took it home rather than let it go to waste. I just thought the whole interaction was a little strange. Truly - I wasn't really looking to get something for free. We just didn't enjoy the dish and were trying to figure out what our options were and it basically felt like he just came over to make us feel small instead of problem solving together. Weird. I'm always one for second chances so I'm hoping to try it again, but I would highly recommend making a reservation to ensure a calmer experience.

BK Seafood Market was a refreshing find in Bay Ridge. We came for dinner with my wife, parents, and…read moresiblings and ordered a big family-style spread of more than 10 dishes. We had stir-fried snails, jellyfish, Dungeness crab, live steamed fish, braised eggplant with fish fillet, stir-fried cauliflower with preserved meats, coral shrimp, sliced conch with crispy tofu, beef with string beans, seasonal vegetables, and fish maw soup. Everything came out hot, delicious, and well seasoned. The Dungeness crab was a standout, and it was refreshing to enjoy such a wide variety of seafood and traditional dishes. My wife was pleasantly surprised by the entire meal. The interior was nicely done and felt different from many other Chinese restaurants in Brooklyn. Service was attentive, and they seated us in a corner where we could enjoy our family conversation without constant interruption. The food came out very quickly, maybe a little too quickly, but we were fine with it. They were unfortunately out of a few fish and clam options, as well as several wines, but it did not take away from a great dinner. Highly recommended for a family-style Chinese seafood meal in Bay Ridge.

It was around 4:30pm and when we arrived, it was empty which was perfect for us. Space is big and spacious and their tables, plating, and decor really stood out to me. Seemed fancier than other Chinese restaurants! Ordered a variety of dishes and they were all really large portions and well-prepared. None were overly salty or sweet, just right. My favorite was their chicken, eggplant and salted fish claypot dish. It's one of my favorite dishes in general and they made it very well. Definitely will come here more often and will rec my family to try this place out for our next family event.

If you regularly get Dim Sum, you know that East Harbor Seafood Palace is one of the classic spots…read moreto go to when in Brooklyn. As a lover of Dim Sum, I start my weekend morning by making the long commute just to get a taste of everything. The spot is constantly bustling with people moving in and out of the restaurant, the waiters running around, the carts strolling to each table, etc. These days, cart services have been decreasing, but it's nice to see that some spots have still kept them around. My rotation always includes the following-har gow, deep-fried noodlefish, shrimp cheong fun (rice noodle roll), zhaliang (fried dough rice noodle roll), chicken feet, and beef tripe-and now more recently, salt and pepper squid. I'm not even joking when I say this, but my mouth was salivating when they placed everything in front of us. Everything was fresh and just so full of flavor. I randomly get reminded of the taste and suddenly crave it again. We also have to thank the wonderful expeditors who would make sure we got everything we wanted. When the salt and pepper squid had run out of the carts, they made sure to request more for our table and got us a fresh, hot, and steaming plate of it. Everything at dimsum might seem very hectic and quick, but when you're sitting down with your family and friends, it can really feel calming. They also give you a choice of tea; we love getting chrysanthemum to wash down the grease from the fried food. There's no wonder people make this a weekly routine; it's just got everything you could need.

Quality/Quantity - So nice to see the rolling carts. It brings back so many memories. Most (if not…read moreall) restaurants in the west coast do not do this anymore to save $$$$, to save labor. But then they lose the suggestive sell, the impulse purchases, etc. Anyway, Brooklyn Chinatown was just okay, but since we were here, we decided to eat. Hard to beat NY and SF Chinatowns. Pictured menu, thank you. Got some fairly standard Dim Sum, see pictures. Similar quality as the west coast. Abalone Sui Mai was the only different thing we tried from the west coast, not bad. Tea is $1.50 per person. Ambiance - A good size restaurant. Busy. Private rooms available. Of course, you can also rent out the entire restaurant for banquets. Open 7 days a week from 9am to 10pm. Service - Good. The cart team is fairly aggressive at suggestive selling. Price - $31 + generous tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success since 2009.

Service was minimal at best but they just seemed under staffed honestly. And when the server did come by, she was running quickly to and from. The place was not busy when my friends and I were seated. But there was a back room in guessing that had occupants since she was missing in the front seating area. (There was a two person table occupied in the front near us). My party of three over ordered but that was intentional because, any purchase over $100, you get a free lobster and each of us had items we wanted, figured we would doggie bag the leftovers. All in all a great value. The lunch spread had over 7 dishes and we got the free lobster. I was especially happy to see Fried Milk on the menu as an appetizer. They also provide complimentary salted peanuts and pickled radish and carrot slivers. I recommend the snow pea shoots, fried milk, clams with black bean sauce and the Chinese Broccoli with Filet beef. The other dishes like the lobster, noodles and sweet and sour pork were executed well but just not my flavor profile. And with my food allergy, I couldn't try the shrimp with walnuts but it was my friends' birthday so she ordered that for her treat. It looked great! There's complimentary parking if you validate your ticket with a nearby garage, but you need to spend a minimum.

The…read morerestaurant was fairly full and the strangest thing almost all the patrons were wearing their wool hats and coats while seated at their tables. We were famished and only focused on what yummy dishes to order. My wife, son and daughter all contributed their suggestions and we ended up ordering pan fried whole flounder, half of the roast chicken with garlic, filet mignon with Chinese broccoli, fried rice with chicken and salted fish and everyone's favorite dish salt & pepper squid. Once we placed our order and were enjoying the roasted peanuts and free spicy cabbage we realized why everyone had their winter coats on, it felt like they had the AC on and it must have been 55° in the restaurant. I told everyone that once the food arrived things would warm up. Each dish that came out of the kitchen was perfectly cooked and was delicious. The salt & pepper squid with it's minced jalapeños kept us warm enough until the half chicken with garlic and filet mignon and Chinese broccoli came out in rapid succession. The star of the show turned out to be the giant sized pan fried flounder which was not only big but quite scrumptious. Unlike the little scrawny flounder that most other restaurants usually served this was a quite large and very meaty and perfectly cooked. The last dish to come out was a very large plate of chicken fried rice with salted fish. If it were not for the lack of heat, I would have given Chef Wong Bistro 5 stars!

I went to this unique new Chinese place with two other locations in BK's Chinatown serving Taishanese/Toison food, a subtype of Cantonese cuisine originally from Taishan (as the name suggests) in Guangdong, a few months ago. They were pretty crowded, primarily with older Chinese folks, and it took us a while to get a seat. The food was generally pretty good, though they were out of some of their siu mei/roasted meats, which is unfortunate, as I wanted to try their duck to compare it to some of the other places. As per this, we ordered a large version of the Clay Pot Rice (more on that later) and got the remaining siu mei available, consisting of half an order of Soy Sauce Chicken and a quarter of their house specialty, Five Spice Goose. The first thing to arrive was the goose, which cost around $40 for the quarter, as it's $28 a pound. Compared to roasted duck, I found the goose meat a bit tougher and meatier, and slightly more gamey. The skin was also less crispy, so the dish had a bit of a chew overall. My personal favorite parts were the neck and wings, as the little bones were easy to munch on, and it was primarily meat, which is a bit different from roasted duck, where I tend to prefer the pieces with more of the crispy fatty skin. The five-spice powder flavor was lighter than expected, but I didn't mind, as I find that the star anise and cloves, among the other spices, can occasionally be a bit overpowering. A handful of people in the group had tried roast goose in China before and said this version was alright. The half a chicken for $15 (or $29 for a full one) was fine. The meat was pretty tender, but I found the chicken a bit less flavorful than at some other places in the area, such as Uncle Lou's. The ginger scallion dipping sauce was standard. We soon got some of the main dishes, and our preference was the two casseroles. Of the two, the cheaper option was the Salted Fish With Eggplant and Diced Chicken, for $25. The version here was a bit saltier than usual, with plenty of fish in particular. The eggplant was cooked down nicely otherwise, and there was a good amount of chicken as well. This was a good version and plenty big enough to justify the price point. The other casserole was the Lamb With Bean Curd Stick, priced at $33. The lamb had a slight chew, though a bit too much in a few pieces, and this is coming from someone who loves tendon. The bean curd skin had a pleasant, slightly chewy texture, while the brown sauce was slightly rich. This was good as well, though we preferred the former dish. We also got the other dish they're known for, the Claypot Rice With Taishan Yellow Eel, available in small ($38) or large ($58,) and the waiter said the dish would take about 30 minutes. We got the large size, and it was absolutely massive, with some of us taking leftovers home. There was a ton of rice, and thanks to the cooking vessel, some of it turned into socarrat/crispy rice on the bottom. In terms of the flavor, I wish there were more scallion, as the rice itself needed a bit more flavor. The bit of eel in there was nice, but it wasn't too present. I would recommend this if you're with a large party as an alternative to another carb dish. The Lotus Root Stir Fry for $24 was standard. It was mildly flavored with plenty of mixed vegetables outside of the lotus, such as wood ear, green beans, Chinese cauliflower, and snow peas. If you're looking for a side dish, it works. I was not a fan of their Peking Pork Chops, which were $21. I usually love this dish, but the breading texture was off, leaving it a bit too soggy. I also found it to be a bit bony compared to some other places. I would instead recommend other Cantonese spots, such as Uncle Lou's or Seng's, for this dish. The meal here was a bit of a mixed bag. It was unique to find a Toison spot and a place serving roasted goose, but the overall quality wasn't the best. Low 3.

This place serves authentic Cantonese food from Guangdong, China. They are famous for their "five…read morespices duck" or "five spices goose", from Jiangmen in China, and they are quite different from the usual Cantonese roast duck served in most Cantonese restaurants in Chinatown. Five spices duck is more like a stewed duck dish, the skin is soft, not crispy. It's quite good, but certainly different from the usual Cantonese roast duck. This place is also famous for their eel rice. The servers are attentive and friendly, but I'm not sure if they speak English.

Until Sunday 9/20/26, I happened to be around the area and was carving some good food so stumbled upon this place. That's when I remembered bookmarking this place on Yelp and I'm so glad I got to try this place with my friends bc every one of them enjoyed their food! I love that it's Asian fusion and learned that owners are Chinese and Bangladeshi. It felt like I was back home! What makes it better is that it has Halal options which def worked to my advantage. Every single item ordered was delicious (my least favorite was the lamb chops as it was a bit dry for my taste). Our host/waiter Kat was amazing and very patient. She answered all of our questions and made great suggestions. The place was a bit noisy but it is NYC after all! I also loved the modern decor; had a nice touch to it. Overall, I would highly recommend this place and I can't wait to return and try other items from the menu.

Now to the food......I ordered the crab fried rice for $24 and I received just rice with crab I could barely find. Waste of money. I also ordered the crispy garlic fried chicken. It was okay. Lightly fried chicken with soy sauce on the plate to dip I guess. I also tried the general Tao's shrimp. It was good but very spicy. I also ordered food to go for my husband. Again with the crab fried rice no crab. FYI when I ordered I told the waitress to make sure they add the crab so I don't just pay for rice. For a pint it was $17 just for rice. I packed up the chicken for him because I didn't love it and he wanted to try it. My daughter ordered the crab fried rice which had a very very very small piece of shredded crab. She liked the ribs and her general Tao's shrimp because she likes spicy. They charge for sauce but she did not tell me until I saw it on the bill. 20% gratuity and a fee for credit card use. And on the bill they have the nerve to put suggested additional tip. I don't think so. Overall this was a restaurant that I tried but would definitely not return.
