    14. Buffalo Fried Jumbo Shrimp (10) I opted out of getting rice.
    Akeema R.

    I'm a snob when it comes to American Chinese food take out. Before a few months ago. I never tried Hardee's. My boyfriend insisted it was better than my usual spot. So I decided to give them a try. He was right. Now they are expensive. I've never paid less than $15 for any meal I've eaten. The chicken wings are great. Their Buffalo shrimp with broccoli got me in a chokehold. It's not your typical buffalo sauce. It's not really that spicy but it's savory with a hint of sweet and heat. I like it and they give you their version of bleu cheese. I do love that they give you 10 jumbo shrimp versus the 5 X-large you may typically get with a shrimp dish from Chinese takeout places. They're pretty quick and if you're a regular and creature of habit like my bf they know you by order and face. They need a reward system for all the money he's spent there. They accept card payments but they charge random fees and it's not worth it considering how expensive they already are. Bring cash.

    Spicy salt and pepper shrimps. Sautéed broccoli. Excellent.

    Hardee's food is honestly, goooood. Hardee's cooks seem to understand that MSG isn't an actual seasoning and that all Chinese food does not have to taste like it's served from an assembly line. My current fave is the crispy fried shrimp with sauteed broccoli, topped with jalapeños. Hardee's food is never greasy and again, I detect the flavors of real herbs and spices or at least a little seasoning salt.

    WOW! Had this marked in my bookmarks because I'm always picking in ppl's food when they order so I knew I needed to get it myself one day. Let me tell ya'll about Hardee's briefly... Best Chinese take out and here's why: Each dish is blasted with flavor and seasoning. The Chinese man swears he's a rapper so his urban dictionary is flowing when he speaks (be aware it'll catch you off guard). The service is great, the place is clean, and the food once again is too damn good to pass up on. They put other Chinese food to shame. Their seafood is BEYOND DELICIOUS like this place needs to be everywhere. They give you A LOT of shrimp. Not the skimpy 5 pcs. other places will sink in the plate with 1000 fries. You're guaranteed to get at least 15-20 shrimps with your shrimp dish you might even get tired of eating it. SIKE! A little more pricey than your average Chinese spot but definitely well worth it. Thank GOD this place isn't by my house. I'd be addicted and possibly very overweight.

    I think this one of the best neighborhood type chinese take-out spots. They have your regular chinese food you'll find in the typical spots...but they have added bonuses! ..Like philly cheesesteaks, turkey burgers, mussels in a wonderful black bean sauce, honey buffalo shrimps. The choices goes on and on. I found a new favorite here....The fish choices -- king fish, talapia, salmon or flounder. They grill, fry or steam it!. And the guy in the front - John...is the coolest Asian you'll find..This is a have to try spot. Call ahead cause it's always a long wait but it's well worth the wait. This is the same guys that was on Myrtle Ave. in Fort Greene. But due to a fire they have relocated to Crown Heights and they are better than ever!

    "BOMB ASS SEAFOOD!" I went on a Friday night, crowded and definitely not a long wait,the kitchen is cranking the orders out! Steamed, grilled and fried are the ways you can get your fish which is (tilapia, salmon and flounder) and the shrimp is fresh and not that frozen crap! The 30 piece shrimp is actually seasoned with real seasonings and has a very light breading. You can also get it grilled or steamed! Did I also mention the shrimp is fresh?!? Lol yes, I did!!!!! Saw the chicken wings yum oh! Will order those next time and the other standard Chinese food. The oil is not some overly burnt oil, it tastes light and is very fresh! Will definitely be a repeat visitor. *parking is tough on weekends, might have to park on Park Place, single lane no double parking allowed!*

    Ordered thru the app....food was ready by the time I walked to pick it up - no wait. Garlic fried shrimp we're good!

    High concentration of soy sauce. No bueno.
    Lawrence L.

    Sharp decline. Not sure what happened, but even if the speed of your services increases, the quality of your service, shouldn't decline. Why, if I ask for very little sauce on my lo mein, do the new guys, decide to douse it with soy sauce, like a Pyro maniac does a fire with gasoline. I haven't eaten here in a long time. I'm really disappointed by this. Especially when I have a long day at work, and am craving food I haven't had in a while. Please go back to the way you used to do things, or in going to have to stick with the new hibachi spot I found, that actually delivers. You guys don't deliver, and now it's become a double entendre.

    I've been going to this place for a couple years. Their food is always fresh. I'm also very picky when it comes to fried wings !!! I love HARDEES wings not to big and crispy. There's usually a long wait in the evening and on weekends, so call before you go.

My daughter attempted to pay for her food using Apple Pay, and the payment was processed twice on her end, with the money being deducted/held from her card. The employee told her that neither transaction had gone through on the restaurant's end. Instead of recognizing that this could clearly be a payment processing or technical issue, this woman proceeded to treat my daughter as though she was intentionally trying to avoid paying for her food. What makes this even more unacceptable is that my daughter never took the food and left with it. She handed the food back, remained there, and patiently waited while trying to figure out what happened with the transactions. She then waited for me to come back into the restaurant with cash to pay for the food. Despite all of that, the woman actually made a comment along the lines of how "crazy" it was that my daughter supposedly "didn't want to pay for the food" and accused her of trying to steal. That accusation was completely unnecessary and inappropriate. There is a huge difference between someone refusing to pay and a customer attempting to pay twice, having the transactions show against their card, and the merchant's system apparently not receiving them. That is a PAYMENT ISSUE that needed to be investigated--not an excuse to accuse a child of stealing. My daughter did exactly what she should have done: she did not leave with unpaid food, she returned the food, she waited for the situation to be resolved, and she waited for me to return with another form of payment. After the way she was spoken to and accused, I no longer wanted the food at all. I am not comfortable accepting food from an establishment after an interaction like that. Payment systems malfunction. Transactions fail. Authorization holds happen. Those situations can be resolved professionally. Accusing a child of stealing when she remained there trying to resolve the payment issue was completely unacceptable. Would have given a zero star if it was an option!!!!
