It was John's birthday

The music in this place is only Brazilian Too bad My friends thought chairs needed more padding But I did buy on of their hats!

It's all thick flavorless lettuce stems

Decided that since most of the family wasn't home, I could enjoy some good Chinese with my kids. Picked up a container of chicken lo mein, beef and broccoli dinner combo - with house salad and soup, asked about extra crunchies and duck sauce. Well the kid didn't say they charged for that, in the past they have not, he just gave me back less change than I expected. The soup was the best part as usual, very flavorful. The house salad came with a yellow water that had no flavor and was all stems. The lo mein was very hot and fresh, but was lacking in flavor, the beef and broccoli had the same problem, looked great tasted like it was missing every seasoning it was supposed to have. They no longer have any coupons except the 10% for cash discount.

Gary Woo Express has been on list to try forever but we only just made the trip. It's a humble West Boca takeout spot with old-school vibes: red walls, laminated menus, celebrity photos taped to the wall (yes, Adam Sandler), and a couple of tables if you eat in. Not much atmosphere--but that's not the draw. The food is unapologetically American-Chinese, and it nails that nostalgic New York flavor. We had crispy shrimp balls (deep-fried shrimp paste wrapped in noodles--fantastic), roast pork fried rice (great char siu, wok hei, not greasy), and a standout shrimp with lobster sauce (rich, eggy, loaded with ground pork, not watered down). Portions are huge and prices fair--three dishes plus a soda ran just under $50. They also offer a dim sum section on the menu, which we haven't tried yet--but based on what we ate, there's promise. It's not fancy, curated, or modern--but it's the kind of takeout Chinese many of us grew up with and can't seem to find anymore. Eat it there while it's hot. It's worth it.

I don't know how this place doesn't have better reviews. I used to come here years ago, but moved away for a while and now that I've moved back, I feel like they have even improved. the food is even better than i remember. The people that work there are so extremely kind and friendly. I did find it a little pricey, but not willing to remove a star for the cost since everything is expensive these days. The crunchy tuna roll was mind blowing.

Pretty good but overpriced for takeout. Not much competition around makes this one of the better Chinese takeouts in West Boca.

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.

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. To BokaFresh ...Thanks for feeding us tonight. It was delicious.

China has been in the news and the banquet menus have my mouth watering. I'm thrilled to be able…read moreto enjoy a delicious Chinese meal with another couple. We made reservations at OpenTable. There was plenty of parking in front of this executive park where Red Pine in the lobby. Happy hour is daily from three until six and all day on Sunday. The menu includes discounted cocktails, and five small appetizer samples to start. When we arrived, the bar was full, there wasn't a seat to be had. The restaurant is beautiful, it felt like an Asian vacation. We were seated st a comfortable round table with a big Lazy Susan in the center. We started by sharing chicken dumplings that were full of flavor, crispy sticky spareribs that were cooked to perfection and eggrolls with a mustard and duck sauce. For dinner, we shared an order of duck two ways with angry pig fried rice. The fried rice was filled with vegetables and juicy chunks of meat. I wrapped the Peking Duck in the four wrappers with vegetable and hoisin sauce it was awesome. The second pork was wrapped in lettuce, leaves with pickled daikon and other flavorful crispy vegetables. Portions were generous, prices were reasonable for the quality of our meal and our waitress was amazing.

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.

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!

It is always delicious. Now there is no more lunch specials and it now cost me $20. Their egg rolls are now spring roll which is very disappointing as they had really good egg rolls. I will no longer be ordering here anymore as this is much too expensive.

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!
