    L4. Hunan Chicken Lunch Special
    Fahmeeda A.

    Best takeout I've had since I moved to Jackson Heights. I have ordered pickup twice through Grubhub and have been so please with the service and food that I am walking over at least once a week now for my Hunan chicken. The woman at the front is always very nice and will always remind me to grab extra sauces on my way out.

    Disgusting discolored chicken with garlic sauce .
    Lavender M.

    Absolutely disgusting !!! I would give negative stars if I could . They don't even deserve 1 star . This restaurant did NOT serve fresh food !!! Chicken is discolored and Carrots are spoiled too . ..Completely tinged with dark mold spots . Please look at my pictures !!!! I just ordered the chicken with mixed vegetables in garlic sauce . And the chicken and carrots were completed tainted /spoiled . I was in horror to see the chicken was discolored and the carrots were all tinged with mold. Please see my pictures . I pray to God I don't get food poisoning, I only ate a few pieces of broccoli from my dish and threw it all away . I was reading other reviews and several others said they were hospitalized from getting food poisoning by eating tainted food from this place . Please stay clear of this place for your body's sake !!!

    Chinese veggies and rice.

    I like that they have fresh choi sum when I get Chinese veggies with rice. They are great with delivery and have other tasty options. Sometimes certain dishes have a lot of oil, but the ingredients taste fresh and yummy. My family visit often for chicken and broccoli on white rice. I have also ordered on seamless and not had many issues.

    I'm on a mission to find the best Chinese food in Jackson Heights; a similar mission is underway for Grandma Pizza. Staples of my life apparently. For what it is, Lin's deserves four stars. I got hot & sour soup which was standard and beef with Chinese vegetables. The vegetables could have been of better quality. I'll keep looking and will adjust this rating should I find greener pastures. IMO this fared better than Peking Kitchen solely on their meat quality.

    Delivery is always quick. Veggies are always crisp, instead of overcooked like most places. Love it!

    Great store with a friendly and patient staff. I never felt rushed. Selection is extensive and I found what I ate to be very good.

    A forgettable lunch I had here. It's not terribly bad but I can name a couple other Chinese…read morerestaurants I've had a better experience in. The restaurant is a few blocks from the main street of Steinway so it'll take a bit of searching. Going inside, the area is rather abstract. Pink flower wallpaper on one end and dry wall on the other, it's kinda off-putting but I didn't come here for the atmosphere anyway. Service was lukewarm, I got my order in but the two workers inside weren't too receptive and the menu itself is kinda barebones with most of their food being a bit more than I would like to pay for so I just settled on one order of Singapore Mei Fun. After waiting 10 minutes for my food to arrive, the Singapore noodles which are usually spicy were kinda salty but it was nothing a bit of duck sauce wouldn't fix. This one order cost $17 while not the worst Singapore Mei Fun...well technically it is, even though it's not horrible but I've had much better from other places for a stable price of $12. Yeah, a rather disappointing visit. Not the worst I've ever had but could be so much better.

    We happened upon this spot after a workshop across the street, and were so pleasantly surprised by…read morethe unique flavors served up by this small local business. I got the wonton soup and pork juicy buns. The soup was different from other wonton soups with the addition of cilantro and some nice balancing flavors for the salt, and the juicy buns were your classic soup dumplings with a very nice rich sauce to dip in. The dandan noodles my friend ordered were maybe my favorite, they were the perfect level of spicy and so flavorful without being overwhelming. I'd go back just for my own plate of those. The service was quite fast, and it's a cute little shop that feels like a small town Chinese restaurant. Very reasonably priced as well. Some of my favorite Chinese food I've found outside of Lower Manhattan !

    Red Sorghum is a spacious, beautifully designed restaurant with a great overall vibe. One thing…read morethat really stands out is their liquor selection, especially the focus on baijiu, which you don't see at many other places. The service was excellent and attentive throughout, and they even helped me track down a lost umbrella, which was much appreciated. The drinks and food were both highlights. The Jade Dragon was refreshing with just the right amount of spice and not overly sweet, while the Absinthe Minded was totally unique, a really interesting combination of flavors that worked surprisingly well. For food, the peppercorn fish stew was a standout: large portion, tender fish, tons of mushrooms, and a perfectly balanced level of heat. The garlic sauce eggplant was also excellent and very saucy in the best way and packed with flavor. Overall, a great spot with strong drinks, satisfying food, and thoughtful service.

    Pros: delicious spicy food! (Do not bother coming if you don't like spice)…read more Cons: they charge for rice SPICY!!!! Which is perfect for me!! We had the lucky coin tofu and the mala squid and chives (not pictured because I forgot lol) I loved the texture each and it made a great combo. The only con is that they charge for rice, which to me is a very cheap move. You know that nobody is going to eat this without rice! Why are we charging? My local takeout Chinese doesn't charge, so why should an upscale restaurant charge? I've been meaning to come to this place for a while and was not disappointed! The service was great. My friend wanted an IPA, but they ran out of the beer. She asked for a recommendation and the server ended up going to the kitchen and specifically finding an IPA for her. I had a sip and it was quite good! The restaurant was beautiful with lots of space! The seats were very comfy. I appreciate how they actually gave us good seats. Usually, restaurants will put you in the corner even if it's a full restaurant because it's convenient to them.
