This is your quintessential bulletproof glass type NYC takeout spot. It is better than the others on the surrounding blocks. As such, it would normally be a four star establishment for me. However, these guys are closed on Saturdays. It is absolutely painful to me that my go to spot is closed on Saturday, which is always a fantastic day to eat Chinese food. Today is one of the days this sucked for me. I will never understand it. Why do you do this to me New Far East? read more

Great experience! The worker who took my order was so kind and patient and even when I changed some things about my order, he showed no frustration. I got the boneless spare ribs combo, and it was so good. Wait time was incredibly short, and I love going here. It has become a staple for me and my friends after school read more

Far East - Boneless Spare Ribs Special Combination - Chinese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The absolutely worst Chinese food I've had in Brooklyn. Beware! The "cold" noodles with sesame were HOT with too much sauce, The pork mai fun was too salty to eat The pork bun was sone weird pastry-like object with a sweet filling: nothing like the white flour buns that are normal The soup for the wonton soup was a weird of-putting orange color read more

Honestly I'd be inclined to leave a one star review but the dumplings in spicy sesame sauce and the shrimp toast were ok. The egg roll was tasteless and oddly mushy inside despite the crispy exterior, and boneless spare ribs were overly sweet and salty. Shrimp in lobster sauce was very watery and totally tasteless, and very weirdly had surimi mixed in with the shrimp. Husband liked the fried rice; not so much for me. Clearly this place will not be my replacement for Red Hot- I don't plan to ever order from here again. read more

This place is wonderful! I don't understand the hate for it on here. I've never had a bad dish here, never had a bad experience, and they're fast and the prices are maybe the best in the neighborhood. I've only been getting from here pretty recently though, so maybe they were bad a while back or something, but they're great right now. I've had way worse food at way more expensive and allegedly better Chinese food restaurants in the neighborhood. Definitely give it a shot! read more

Lady who answered the phone was very nice. Not only that but they have the best fries ever. Mixed vegetables was awesome! Super fast service. Very kind on the phone. Writing this review after I'm stuffed. The restaurant is very quiet and smells delicious. Best Chinese food place ever! read more

Decided to give this spot a chance because so much people were raving about it. Started eating my food and found what appears to be a larva in my food ! Never again will I eat here or recommend it to anyone ! read more

Far East - Take a look on the fork. Please zoom in. - Chinese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Decent,standard Chinese American restaurant that has the value of being the only Chinese spot that will deliver to my office. Have had the Honey Chicken which was kinda bland and the chicken with garlic sauce which was pretty good. The rice is the yellow variety but not all that bad. Wonton soup is decent. read more

Far East - Chicken with garlic sauce and pork fried rice. - Chinese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Finally a place that makes amazing chicken wings and is very friendly. Not only do they make the best food in the area they do have very favorable pricing and are always so nice. The customer service is amazing and they even let you sit down and eat. I can't even lie, THEY MAKE BETTER FOOD THEN MY FAVORITE CHINESE RESTAURANT THAT IVE BEEN GOING TO FOR 10 years. Food is ready quick and easy and they always pack utensils and napkins. Fun for the whole family if your def hungry and in the area order this place I promise the wood will be well done and superb. Quite the superior take out read more

Great Chinese food. Try the chow fun. They have a lot of classic Chinese recipes that are not on menu. Just ask.

These four stars are given within the spectrum of fast, Chinese takeout restaurants, you know the type with a bench or two, but no one really eats there. Far East is fast and consistent with their offerings. Nothing to write home about, but it will satisfy your fix for quick, cheap Chinese food. And to boot, they are very friendly. We stick to the basics like lo mien, friend rice, sesame/General Tso's chicken(is there really a difference?), etc., all of which are serviceable. read more

I love there boneless spare ribs with white rice. Great service the workers are very nice

I love Far East. They're fast and good and cheap (the trifectaaaaa). They're always very nice and I love the bonus soda that comes with the combos. Big fan of their pork fried rice. read more

Saw that this place recently opened up, and wanted to check it out. The quick verdict is that some of the dishes are good, and others have room for improvement. The veggie General Tso's was very good. The pieces had a lot of flavor and weren't too overcooked/dry. For whatever reason, this dish varies wildly from place to place, and it's a pretty good benchmark. Sesame noodles were alright, but nothing special. I did like the long cucumber slices. They always add a nice touch. On the downside, the curry chicken was really bland. I'm not exactly sure how you take something as pungent and flavorful as curry and make it bland, but they did. Oh well. The delivery was fine, and the rice was alright as well. It's worth checking out for their good dishes, and if they get it all together, could be a decent go-to Chinese place. read more

Was in park slope yesterday working and fell into the mood for chinese food. I didn't want to walk too far so I jumped on Yelp-of course, and this place was the closest. Only 1 review so I figured "why not just be the 2nd". I took the suggestion of the 1st review and had the chicken in garlic sauce with egg fried rice ( I was too hungry to experiment). It was pretty good- not the best chinese I've had but not bad at all. The place was nothing fancy, just your typical chinese neighborhood spot! All of the tables were clean and so was the counter and floor. Hopefully this place will get more reviews on different dishes! read more

Far East - Chicken in garlic sauce with egg fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Oh no!!!! Do not eat here!!! It's really terrible because the food isn't fresh. Why are the Yelp reviews so awesome for this place? I feel duped! We ordered here and the food was such poor quality. The wonton soup tasted old, I took one bite of the wonton and immediately spit it out. The veggies were over cooked and gray, not fresh at all. The best thing was the crunchy wontons that come with the soup. read more

First time going here, and last time: I found a bug in my food tonight. I don't like posting this without being able to speak with the business first, but they closed before I was able to go back. I ordered the Kung Pao Chicken and ate half of it before finding the little black bug (pictured). Pretty dang gross. read more

My first takeout in the neighborhood leaves me wanting more but not that excited. Ordered an Egg Foo Young that tasted pretty bland despite the sauce given. The duck sauce does help. shrimp toast was good but a little bit burnt and tad oily. But portion is good and is a good value for the price Will try to go back when I feel like ordering chinese. read more

Some dishes were AMAZING! Some were heinously vomit-worthy. Fried half chicken- best fried chicken in the hood, for reals. Steamed veggies- yum, fresh, great variety, good garlic sauce on the side Hot & Sour soup- super fresh, hot and yummy! Roast Pork Bun- Ew. Threw it away. Almost threw it up. Imagine dipping a hamburger bun in water and then mashing some leftover pork fat inside. Singapore Mai Fan noodles- disgusting. The flavor was rank, way too much black pepper, and it didn't look or taste fresh at all. But it was really really cheap (5 dishes for $27) and came in 25 minutes. Lots of extra fortune cookies and crunchy cracker thingies. So I'm down to order from here again. read more

These guys take orders and don't deliver. I placed an order on seamless and it never showed up. Scam artists.

OMG!!! This chinese restaurant food is very fresh and taste very good. I often come to this restaurant than the other chinese restaurant. Even though I live far from this restaurant I would drive to the restaurant to eat their delicious food. I hope you guys would try out their delicious food!!!!! read more

Great food! Fast and fresh. Super friendly staff and nice people. Highly recommended!

I would give a 3.5 if I could. I'm not sure about the very poor reviews. I always go and place my order in person and wait until it's done. I think they serve decent fare without any special twist. The woman who works at the front is incredibly energetic and nice. She and I have a nice relationship. She works every. single. day. I am amazed that she can keep it up. They rarely if ever take days off. I regularly come by for spare ribs or dumplings. There seem to be regulars who go there and pick up, just like me. I'm rarely the only on sitting there. I believe it's a family business, and sometimes her parents are there during rush hour. Their food tends to be more cliched chinese take out food (i.e.; sauces are a little on the sweeter side). I've been on a carb diet so I haven't tried any of their noodles, haha. read more

NEVER order from here. Ordered at 11:30 and finally fell asleep hungry after waiting 3 hours and calling multiples times. I woke up with 3 missed calls from 3:30AM, an empty stomach, and 14$ less. read more

Okay. Fill disclosure, I order here at least once a week for like, two years. I've never really had an issue. Today we got a big order, and they forgot my can soda. I didn't even realize until we were half done. I made an offhand comment, but dismissed it since the service is always good. Lo and behold, five minutes later (a full half hour the after we got our food) the delivery guy came back and brought me my soda. Tbh if it was me as a delivery guy I wouldn't have come back. Like, he definitely didn't have to do that. And it was still cold. 11/10 Will keep ordering for life. read more

Don't know the difference between steamed and fried. Told me I ordered wrong even though my seamless order proves i got the wrong order. Awful customer service. read more

I would love to review the food, but I've now been waiting 2 hours and it still hasnt been delivered yet. Everytime I call the store, the woman who answers jusy says theyre "very busy". Would have been nice if they mentioned a 2 hour wait when I ordered. read more

My husband and I stumbled upon this great restaurant about two years ago. We absolutely love this place and will only order here. They have the best chicken in garlic sauce. I order it almost every week. While my husband switches between their General Tso and sweet and sour chicken. My two year old son loves the vegetable friend rice too. We will never stray away from Far East. It's a shame that more people don't give them positive reviews on here. read more

The white meat sesame chicken and the vegetarian general tso's/sesame taste very fresh. Not too much batter, decent amount of protein, tender. You can pick which/how much sauce you want. Vegetarian dumplings are not green vegetables which was disappointing. Looks like cabbage. read more

I ordered a delivery and first of all it took forever to come. Said delivery would be 30-40 minutes but I got mine in 1 hour 30 minutes. After this poor services I was in no mood to tip the delivery person nor did I have the means of doing so (Only had one $20 bill in my wallet). When the delivery person showed up, very late, he rudely asked for a tip. When I said no tip he said "don't think about ordering a delivery ever again go pick up from the store." He then said something in Chinese which I think he cursed at me. The food was cold and flavor less. The soup was watery and I'm never ordering from this place again. read more

I ordered take-out from Far East today and the delivery guy had a bad attitude, I'm a regular at Far East since they reopened and I must say I was highly disappointed, I ordered a normal chicken wings w/ pork fried rice, and my colleague ordered chicken wings w/ french fries. The delivery guy came and we proceeded to tell him that our order was miscalculated, he stood there and then began to demand that we tip him or we weren't going to receive our food. Anyway we handed him the money and when he saw we did not include a tip, he dropped our money and took off running with the food.. lol.. now some of you might agree with this and others might not, however I have to say if I can afford to give you a tip, I will. I've always believed that given a tip is at the discretion of the one being served, so with that being said if you display good service then I will tip away, on the other hand, if you demand a tip, I will ignore you. The turn around happened when me and my colleague went over to Far East, in which we should've done in the first place. Nicely enough our complaint compelled them to remake our food and charge us justly. Overall the food is not bad at Far East but the delivery guy needs to learn a tip or two about being tipped! It's not a demand you earn it! read more

Don't ever order from them. The delivery guy doesn't know the meaning of service. Made me come down to the front even though they know they're supposed to go up to your apartment. Wouldn't have tipped at all, if Seamless didn't have you do it ahead of time. read more

New menu states "all organic vegetables" so we tried it. Everything was fresh tasting, hot & cooked just right. General Tso white meat chicken was mild and tasty. Cold sesame noodles had just enough sauce (not awash like other places) but didn't have cucumber, instead green onions (?). Vegetable Fried Rice & Vegetable Egg Foo Young were also fine. Big portions. Far East will be our go to for delivery. Delivery guy was polite and called when he arrived because the order taker didn't ask which apt. read more

This used to be run by a family. The older couple decided to sell because the son who usually takes the counter orders didn't want to continue the business. The new owners are nice and the food is pretty good. read more

Disappointing. Too greasy, overall. Veggie dumplings with super thick dough. Scallion pancakes with no scallions inside. Sauteed veggies swimming in oil. Garlic sauce too sweet. Will not order again. read more

i like the dishes they have in this chinese restaurant. all of you guys should try their food someday!!!
