Leftover
Nicole K.

Ordered delivery via Grubhub and got the chicken with broccoli combination plate that came with pork fried rice and an egg roll, and added a pint of vegetable lo mein. It was pretty good, esp the egg roll, but the lo mein noodles were a bit overcooked. It's reasonably priced and huge portions. I liked that they give you fortune cookies to enjoy after which restaurants these days don't give anymore. Would probably order from here again.

H2. Fried Chicken Wings
Jessica L.

a west coast gal looking for ny style takeout and i found it here!! all of the food came in piping hot and so good. the fried chicken is hot, crispy, and very flavorful. fries were made perfectly, you really can't go wrong with this. they were crispy and they give a lot!! i had to try it with all of the sauces (ketchup bbq and hot sauce) combined. i would love to come back to try other menu items. wait was about 10 minutes so it was relatively quick

Shrimp with Curry Sauce
Josh B.

Fair warning: before I regale you with my world travels in search of Chinese food, some of you may find my anecdotes pretentious or long-winded, but the tale of the global quest for spare ribs can't be easily condensed to 280 characters. Still here? Yes it is true, I have ventured to lands near and far, from the mall food court to the vast exurbs of the New York/New Jersey region. I have consumed exotic fare in the tiny mountain of village of Tuxedo NY, a scenic land, but so remote that there may be a 3 hour gap for the next train to Hoboken. I have traversed the thoroughfare sometimes known as The Silk Road of Flushing, Fresh Meadows and Jamaica Estates, Union Turnpike, in times so ancient that the Q-46 bus was called the Q-44A. The vast miles are accompanied by a wide range of emotions, tragedy to triumph, experiencing dinner at King Yum but never its karaoke, continuing to enjoy Dave's even though the shrimp with black bean sauce recipe from 1980 is no longer. The cuisine has delighted me when other places were closed due to holidays and has been the centerpiece of important moments ranging from a family dinner celebrating my acceptance to Elmira College to watching the Oscars in 2003 when Michael Moore got booed. TL;DR - American-friendly Chinese cuisine isn't the only game in town, but even though you'll find more authentic offerings in Flushing, this is an important genre that can vary quite a bit. Christopher's Golden Woks has been a success so far, with curry shrimp providing respectable heat levels and fresh vegetables. The fried chicken has far more flavor than grease and enticing crispiness. Roast pork with vegetables was good on my last visit, perhaps next time I'll venture into some less safe bets. The Uber Eats pickup speed has been great, making this place a recurring favorite for Hudson River picnics.

Egg Roll was the bomb!
Pamela E.

Excellent Food! Huge Portions and this is the ONLY place in NYC that I personally have ever ordered from that makes their own homemade egg rolls. Every other restaurant I have ordered from uses those awful frozen tasteless ones. If you are eggroll lover, you will love these! I am so picky about my egg rolls so I am very impressed with these! The sesame chicken was excellent as well and very FAST delivery. Will definitely be ordering from here again!

As the name implies, it really is an excellent dumpling house!…read more Me and my buddies were in Jersey and New York for some hockey games, and wanted to go to a deli, get some Chinese food, and a slice of pizza. Got off the E train and when we looked for Chinese food, this place popped up with good reviews and it was just a short walk from where we got off the train. My buddies ordered the special lunches and we also got two types of xlb's, beef chow fun, and some fried dumplings. The special lunches come with a little fried rice, cold garlic flavored noodle, choice of egg drop or hot and sour soup, and main side. My buddies all enjoyed their meals. The beef chow fun was also really good and beef was nice and tender. The xiao long baos were excellent and is comparable to any place in California like DTF. Nice and juicy and great with some ginger, soy sauce, and spicy chili. Friendly service and food comes out pretty quickly. Credit card is accepted. Bathroom was also very clean, which is sometimes rare in some Chinese restaurants I have been to. If you're looking for a good Chinese meal, stop here when you're in the Chelsea area.

I hadn't been to EDH in a while and was happy to see they do have later hours (with a smaller late night menu). The place was pretty busy at 10:00 PM last Saturday, with a wide range of diners, which is good for business. The food though, at least that night, was really disappointing. My friend had the chicken dumplings. He said they were okay. I thought they were overcooked. My steamed shrimp shumai were fine, but steamed, they didn't have much flavour. The edamame, on the other hand, had way too much when it should have almost none. I don't know if it was excess salt, MSG or something else, but not good. I should have sent them back. I hope this was just an off night for the kitchen.

The pacing of the meal for the quantity of food received seemed very rushed, and we didn't really have a chance to relax and enjoy any of the courses. However, the quality of the experience was a complete disaster particularly for the price. Clearly, the packed restaurant would disagree, but for the four of us anyway, we would not return. It started with the check in process at what felt like a long hotel front desk with multiple, self important hosts and hostesses overseeing your entrance to the cavernous bar/waiting area. One problem is the noise is so deafening that you can't really hear what they say to you but we check in a few minutes early and waited obediently in the bar area chatting. After about 30 minutes (15 after our reservation time), and watching numerous parties large and small who arrived after us be seated by the hostesses wandering through the dimly lit space who peer quizzically and ask your name, my husband went to ask for an update. (We joked that those vibrating lighted buzzers alerting when your table was ready would have been super helpful, but it was amusing to watch while we waited). It was clear they somehow lost track of us as she had him repeatedly spell our (not unusual) name. Anyway, after that, within 10 minutes after that we were taken downstairs to our seats (but not before standing awkwardly in the large dining area near packed tables waiting while our table was cleaned). Server with a heavy accent was kind and mostly helpful so none of this is on him. The busser who managed to spill half a pitcher of cold water on my husband's back, soaking his shirt and jacket and barely apologizing, is a whole other story. We managed to get a glass of his mediocre Cabernet comped for the experience. If I sound annoyed, I guess I still am. I had high hopes for a fun and tasty experience in a cool part of the city and it just wasn't.

I'm a lower middle-class Jersey guy - what the heck do I know about cocktails?  But I dove right into one ("Jade Collins") and it was firing on all cylinders.  Crisp, clean, strong enough to knock over an ox. Then we got a handful of apps - everyone else swore by all the ones they'd had - but I just tried the Salt & Pepper Shrimp and... sweet baby Jesus, this little plate had a wicked amount of flavor from every angle.  "Aggressively seasoned" might be an understatement.  Wild. Onto the mains and I ventured towards their Spicy Drunken Noodle (my go-to whenever I'm hitting a Thai restaurant on my home turf) and... yeah, you probably guessed it - incredible. Not the biggest portion but they made every single component sing with flavor. With so much going on - of course I needed to indulge with another drink (hey, I wasn't driving!). There were six of us, it came to about $100 a person... welcome to NYC. But we did get a wide selection of plates/food and those two drinks accounted for about $40 of my tab. (And you'll never see such a heavy wine pour at a restaurant... they filled the glass almost to the rim - which was not even something I'd do for myself when I'm home.) Definitely recommended.

Yeah Id say that was a pretty splendid meal. Shared everything thank goodness…read more Started with the wok fried beef dumplings which were good on their own but had this fire ahh spicy honey mustard wow. Then the scallion pancakes which were crispy and airy paired with this very interesting sauce that was clear but tasted like sweet and sour sauce. For mains we got Kung Pao Chicken which was pretty delicious but my star of the show was the Crispy Beef. It was crispy asf and skinny too I didn't know you could make beef skinny like that. Sauce was super tasty and thick. On the side was broccoli which was fine and eggplant which was fine on its own and good with the chili sauce. Split the Fortune Cookie Red Velvet Cake which okay I thought there would be more creativity with adding fortune cookies somewhere in the cake but it was just a cake with fortune cookies on top. Also they put 2 when we had 4 people like lowkey they couldve just put 2 more on there but anyways the cake itself was pretty tasty so can't complain there.

The food is all over the place but the main theme is that everything is over-seasoned to please the crowd of people who all were gulping down colorful sugary cocktails with dinner while wearing athletic clothing. Peking duck (for 4-5) had great accompaniments (rare to actually get bao with it) but it was a lackluster portion of duck. Salt and pepper shrimp were offensively salted. Special "mignon" was great. The hand-pulled noodles *gasp* weren't hand pulled. "BBQ" chicken in the other noodles was very dry. Sea bass portion was very small. Scallion pancakes were good. Shrimp dumplings were the highlight. I recommend skipping this restaurant.
