There's something about trying a new takeout spot that can feel intimidating. Not all takeout is the same, and Gum Hoi stood out. I ordered Sunday dinner for the family, and since I had never tried it before, I decided to order in person. It's located on the end of the strip mall with lots of parking. I placed my order for boneless spare ribs combination with pork fried rice, a large order of sesame chicken with white rice, General Tso's chicken combination with chicken fried rice, and a large order of tostones. The total came to $46, and the wait was about 15 minutes. When my food was ready, I was asked what sauces I wanted. I said, "Give me all of them," and they delivered. The bag was so hot I could feel the warmth on the ride home. Once served, it was a feast! The star of the show was the rice fried and white. My mother enjoyed the white rice and her sesame chicken, while Jo savored her boneless spare ribs and rice--perfectly cooked and not overly sauced. I asked for extra spice in my General Tso's chicken, and they nailed it. The chicken was well-done, and the extra chili sauce I requested was clearly visible in the dish. I was sold. The egg roll was delicious on its own, and even better as the last bite with a dab of duck sauce. We all commented on how good the rice was--the veggies tasted fresh, and nothing lacked flavor. The tostones were lightly salted, which is rare, and this alone elevated the meal to another level. It was takeout so good that I can't wait for the leftovers--and yes, there were definitely leftovers. This is a 5/5 star takeout experience you need to try. I've posted a clear picture for March 2025 so you can see for yourself. read more

Gum Hoi Take-Out Restaurant - Updated menu - Chinese Near Me - Garnerville, New York

All I can say this is my go to spot for great Chinese food. I drive all the way from congers to get food, and it never disappoints. Just stop being stingy with the sauces and it would be perfect read more

It was just okay. Very bland. Place has been around for a while so that's why we ordered there. Everything was just okay. Service was okay. Ambiance was okay. We did takeout so I did not take pictures because, yes, the photos would have been just okay. read more

This place is better then most take out places. General Tso chicken is really good. Ride is usually dry but flavorful dumplings are so thick and gummy. Egg rolls are crispy. Wanton soup is good not over salted. Moments chicken is prepared well. Always comes piping hot . Delivery is always fast ams seamless. read more

I found this take-out spot while visiting my parents. I grew up out here, and since I moved to CA it's been extremely hard to find the Chinese food that I used to have in NY. I crave east coast style Chinese food. Especially the take-out which should be hot, fresh, full of flavor, made to order, and reasonably priced. (That is very different than what I find in SoCal.) Gum Hoi has become my go-to place when picking up or ordering delivery Chinese food when I go to my parents house for the last 2 years. We have had a number of items through the years, but these are some of our "go-to" items. Egg Roll - thick crispy skin. I've watched my brothers enjoy it warm or cold straight from the fridge Dim Sum - kind of like an Asian meatball shumai Boneless Spare Ribs - I love boneless spare ribs with its char siu flavor these little barbecued or roasted pork bits are so delicious. Surprisingly hard to find in Southern California. Wonton Soup - I love wonton soup. Another hard to find item on the west coast, at least with the same preparation. Just a wonton filled with a meat filling with broth and some pork strips. Simple and oh so delicious. Pork Fried Rice - good. On its own, it could have a little more flavor for the rice but as a base to all the other delicious flavors it does its job well while adding some veggie bits and pork deliciousness. Beef Lo Mein - also such a simple yet delicious dish that I crave and cannot find on the west coast easily. Beef w. Broccoli - has a good flavor and I love taking the excess sauce and adding it to rice and noodles to add flavor. Gum Hoi Special Roast Pork - this is described as "Chinese barbecued tenderloin pork, prepared from our chef's own recipe, served w. mixed Chinese veg., young corn, snow pea pods" on their menu. My brother almost melted in his seat when he tried it reminiscing of when he was younger and eating with older family members. Sauce was also a good extra to add to the rice and noodles. General Tso's Chicken - "Crispy golden tender chicken morsels" as per the menu with a one pepper spiciness level. The chicken did remain crispy even with the sauce glazed on it. Even on day 2 of leftovers, so that is a real accomplishment. The flavor is good and to me not very spicy at all. I did see a couple of the peppers in the dish, and avoiding eating those, but I would say don't be afraid if you don't like too spicy as this dish isn't very spicy (just avoid that pepper) read more

Worst Chinese food in North Rockland. Go literally anywhere else and the food will taste better. The pork fried rice is bland, the lo mein somehow tasted old. The egg rolls have a strange aftertaste. The boneless ribs have a strange chemical taste. Tung Fung, China King or Ocean Empire are all better choices. read more

Classic, simple take out place. But probably the best Chinese food in Rockland. The same family has been running it forever, with good reason; lots of business. Not really a place for dining out, but if you care about good tasting food, this is where to go. read more

Just had to bring back my daughters Boneless Spare Rib Combo, the Pork Fried Rice was DRY, and the Boneless Spare Ribs were dry and uneatable. Went back to get payment back, they offered a new combo plate, i asked why would I take the same product, it is the same food, the woman just stared at me, I asked for a refund on my CC, and I needed to send my daughter back with the Business card she used to get the food. This place is one of the last places in the area for Chinese Food, and it does not seem to be all that good lately. I will give it another try down the road, but right now we will need to order somewhere else for lunch today. read more

One of the better Chinese food spots in the area. It's a little on the pricey side. More expensive that's you'd expect for fast food Chinese food. If you're from NYC you'll know what I mean when you see the menu prices. Truthfully not much to say. Our go-to is chicken and broccoli.. white rice on the side. Pretty vanilla order. Food takes good. Sometimes the chicken has too much oil, it again, it's fast food. Things to note, they're closed on Monday's. read more

It was my first time and I order a typical classic meal (chicken wings and fries) and thank goodness it was delish! I will be going back To try the other meals. I'll let y'all know how it went when I try it again. read more

Best chicken wings I've had. And let me no talk about them amazing fries. And the rice have great flavor read more

Gum Hoi Take-Out Restaurant - Chicken wing and fries. Small pork fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Garnerville, New York

Everything we ordered from Gum Hoi was absolutely delicious! It was on time, really hot & fresh. We would recommend Gum Hoi to everyone Enjoy read more

Whenever my PIC (Partner In Crime) and I eat here, it's in a rush, we are 2 hangry redheads and it's at the time of day between ... should I wait for dinner & DINE or mad eat and DASH to be happy as we drive back to NJ. We usually opt for the dine and dash, that way we avoid the whole road rage issue. PIC is particularly finicky about her dine and dash places but for some reason this spot was never, ever on my radar of unknown places to stress eat and risk the drive, but surprisingly, the food is really good and I mean really good, none of the unsavory issues others have experienced, the price is easy on the budget and the lunch specials are quite hearty. I have had a few of the lunch specials sweet and sour pork, kung po chicken and the house lo mein, I usually get the egg roll but in colder days the soup but I ask for them to mix the won ton with the egg drop. Sometimes I just want a snack so I get the beef on a stick or the cheese won-tons tasty little finger foods. PIC gets chicken lo mein, chicken with cashew or chicken with string beans, She can't eat seafood or mushrooms, so if you have food allergies like she does, you know the fear of cross contamination, so far the crew here understand the fear and they have always been accommodating. Everything is packaged neatly and easily, so eating in the car where we are comfortable before the long haul is never a hassle. read more

Ordered the steamed dumplings, veggie steamed dumplings, vegetable fried rice and the orange chicken. Overall really good, the staff is nice and fast. It's a take out restaurant but there are some small tables if you wish to eat inside. I been here mainly for the dumplings and get something new each time so it's definitely worth a try. Menu is very large too so they will definitely have something you are looking for. read more

Very sad to say that after anxiously awaiting to go there I was totally disappointed. The ribs were dry, tasteless and had a lot of small pieces. The chicken lo mein has no taste and soggy. The egg roll was a cabbage wrap with no taste. Maybe an off nite or fill in chef but no bueno for sure. Not going back. read more

Gum Hoi has the best Chinese food I've ever had in Rockland County. It's fresh, it's good, it's fast, and the people are nice - you really can't go wrong here. My son had lo mein, I had moo shu chicken, and my husband had General Tso's - everything survived takeout beautifully and was delicious! read more

Everything ordered from here is always consistent and decent tasting. The spare ribs are almost dry-rub and good tasting. I like that they let you modify the volume of sauce added to the dishes. Delivery time is ok. read more

My favorite local Chinese restaurant. They always make a great meal and will alter it as requested. Delivery is speedy and the staff are efficient. I have been ordering takeout from this restaurant for many many years. I highly recommend. read more

As a seasoned "MOT" I can safely call myself a connoisseur of takeout Chinese. This one nestled in the foothills of Haverstraw did not disappoint . The wonton egg drop soup struck a delicate balance between egg and noodle; the moo goo gai pan, garnished with soy sauce pleased the palate ; the birds nest was a flavorful melange of brown sauce shrimp and beef and the egg roil was a crispy treat Of course it took 40 minutes to make but whose counting lol really all good read more

Probably the best Chinese food I've ever had. The sesame chicken is amazing, flavorful and crispy. The steamed dumplings are so good you don't even need to use the sauce, although it is also amazing. And the employees are so sweet! read more

This is the only Chinese place I want to order from again since we moved to the area 4 months ago. Everything is flavorful and light, the vegetables are delicious, and there's nothing heavy about their use of oil or sauces. Really one of the best places we've tried, and not just in Rockland County. Prices are reasonable and make it easy for us to try new things, too. It's even worth having a tough week if we can order from Gum Hoi. :) I'd love to write more, but seriously, I'm too hungry and will be ordering now... read more

Food is always on point. I love getting the white meat General Tso's Chicken combo with Wonton Soup.

After leaving a less than stellar review about another place I felt I needed to balance it out and review a place I really love. Gum Hoi is consistently great. I have never had a bad experience ordering anything from this place for years and years and in fact I'm eating it again tonight. They recently added an online ordering system which was a breeze to use and my food arrived a half hour before they said it would. So if you are trying to pick a good Chinese take out place, choose this one! read more

I spent $60 in there I put $30 on a gift card that someone gave me for Christmas and I paid the other $30 with my debit card normally they would let you have a bottle of soda with a large whatever but when I asked about the bottle of soda they said I couldn't have it because I only spent $30 and they give soda away at 35 so when I claimed they spent $60 they said no you spent $30 on your own and the other one was a gift card that somebody else spent $30 Cheapskates read more

Food is always as you expect: packed perfectly to avoid any messes, fresh, warm, delivered with a smile. Food taste are distinctive (so many places the flavors seem to blend together & everything tastes the same - hard Wok in new city). Food is always plentiful, well prepared & flavorful. People who work there are kind, approachable & pleasant. One of the best for take out. read more

Big fan of the boneless spareribs and chicken with garlic sauce. Gum Hoi delivers consistent, tasty takeout.

Great food fair prices always polite courteous and prompt I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anybody

this place is my fav chinese restaurant in rocklandcounty they are always very tasty , and food seems super clean and fresh. ( when i taste vegetables i can get the feeling ) they are busy mostly. i think it's good for local chinese restaurant! i wish the good LUCk!! on this place! read more

This place has solid Chinese food. Very good sesame chicken. Thin breading not just a big fried bread ball like most places. Great chicken with garlic sauce, spicy hot and sour soup. Definitely the best Chinese in the area. read more

Definitely the best Chinese food in North Rockland! I'm a definite Chinese food snob. I always order the same thing - sweet and sour chicken with pork fried rice. That's the ultimate judge of Chinese food in my opinion. The chicken needs to have a crispy breading without being overcooked and toast-like. The sauce can't be too sweet or too thick. And the pieces of pork in the rice need to be big enough that you can actually taste them. Gum hoi checks all these boxes and serves me the best sweet and sour chicken that I've had in this area. My boyfriend and I are definitely regulars here and this is now our go-to spot. Top picks: Sweet and sour chicken (obviously), BBQ spare ribs, and Sesame Chicken. They have, by far, top 5 sesame chicken that I've ever had. Ask for white meat only - there's no extra charge and it's beyond delicious. Can't speak to the delivery services because we always pick up. But we've never had a problem ordering on the phone and they've never messed up our order. Definitely delicious food and great service. Bonus: no minimum for credit cards (or if there is, they don't stand by it!) read more

This is the best Chinese food I can find. Other places are extremely dirty and rude. PROS : -Food is fresh and delicious. - Delivery is so fast! - When you call they are extremely nice. -Delivery drivers always kind. CONS: -OVER the years we've been eating here an item was missing from our order ( we called and they made it fresh and delivered quickly) - Wish the place was bigger so we could eat there comfortably Overall this is a great place. My cons aren't bad! Just ordered and waiting for my speedy delivery! Yum read more

Found this little gem on Yelp! I read ALL the reviews and what previous customers ordered... In the words of my kids...OMG!!! The food was fresh, not drowned in sodium and perfectly cooked. In reading the reviews, I ordered what others said they had and I AGREE 110%. We had boneless ribs, pork Lo mein, beef and broccoli with general tso chicken and it was AMAZING!! We WILL be repeat customers!!! read more

Been ordering from Gum Hoi for years. One of the best Chinese takeout places in the county.

I'm not from the area - hopped onto Yelp as I had a hankering for Chinese food after a long day and ended up getting delivery. Arrived faster than promised piping hot, fresh, flavorful and a huge portion. Seriously a good value. Will order again when in the area. read more

Food is delicious. Always fresh but usually when i order like $30/$40 worth of food they give a free soda but when its different people behind the counter you dont always get it. When i tell them to make something crispy it doesnt happen 90% of the time. Besides that their food is great read more

This place is amazing. I have been going here for years. I recently moved to nyc and still come back every time I visit rockland. Best Chinese food ever! read more

Solid Chinese food. Certainly the best I've found in the area. Always best to call first since there's not much to do around there, and not always a good place to wait. read more

This is perhaps the one of the most underrated Chinese restaurants that I've been to. If you like General Tso's Chicken, Sesame Chicken and similar dishes, this is your place to go. I've also had several other dishes including the miso soup. This is food with flavor - something we all need in our lives. The service is also great, particularly in the time of COVID. I'm happy to have found this place! read more

Do NOT order delivery from here. This place has my favorite Chinese food in town but their delivery is just terrible. I didn't learn my lesson the first 3 times I asked for delivery so I tried a 4th time. Sure enough l, on a Wednesday night they tell me 40 mins for delivery. Ok. Over an hour and 20 minutes later my food still didn't come so I called to cancel. The girl who answered says he left over 30 mins ago and should be there any minute. The same exact story I always get. I will take my money elsewhere. Food is amazing but Not worth the headache to me. read more

I have been a regular customer for years and not once did I have a problem! Today though when I called they put me on hold for almost 10 minutes! I could hear people and tried to get their attention but no one responded! I hung up and called back. Before I could finish my sentence the lady put me on hold again! I don't know if I can order from them again now! It was such a bad experience and I thought they treated their customers better then that. read more
