Sue is back! Best beef and broccoli, plantains, and steamed dumplings  in the hood!
Letty C.

Nothing like hot Wonton Soup on a nice Autumn Day! STILL the local hot spot! Seafood selection includes steamed scallops, plump mussels, fried or steamed shrimps, and lobster.

It's your typically Chinese spot. No delivery so you have to call in your order. The food is always good to me. My go to in the chicken wings. Always ask for Sue to put hot sauce on the wings! Trust me

General Tso's Chicken
Theressa W.

I spent a day lounging and decided I wanted Chinese for dinner. I called ahead to place my order via phone since it was 15-20 min walk. The place is your standard no frills take-out. I ordered General Tso Chicken with fried rice, an egg roll and 4 chicken wings. The general Tso chicken was ok but the fried rice was bland and only had onions and bean sprouts. The egg roll didn't seem fresh and also was bland. The fried wings were the best item I ordered. Note this place is cash only and a bit overpriced. I spent $19 for my order.

Honey fried chicken/ shrimp fried rice small, pork fu young with rice, chicken lo mein large and an order of bbq pork.

If you call to order ahead they will yell at you that is true! He is saying "large or small" and you need to tell him if you want a small or large order on most things. We went down instead and he was so nice and we got what we wanted! Honey fried chicken/ shrimp friend rice small Chicken lo mein large Bbq pork and the red sauce is fire Pork fu yung, which wasn't in a patty style like we are used to. Still good. $43 for all that is a good deal. The couple places we usually go in our hometown in Washington state we get about the same amount of food for more like $56.

Fried baby shrimp with dense uncrispy fries

It's Chinese fast food with products one would expect if you eat fast food. The food is tasty and well cooked and when I'm strapped for cash this is definitely the better tasting affordable Chinese spot around. Overall don't read the menu and expect too much (crab is that sweet imitation crap, shrimps are basically krill, etc).

Best Chinese food in brooklyn for sure! It's just your typical fast service chinese food spot, and they got a couple chairs in the place too. Sign on the wall says they are closing August 22, 2023 till Oct 1 tho so go get it while yall can!

BBQ rib tips party platter. Great for game day. Not a great pic, but coincidentally next to a briefcase for scale. Awesome taste and value.
Zack L.

If you look at this place and assume it's the same as every other Chinese spot in the area, you are wrong. This is better. The easiest demonstration of this is the homemade fried pork dumplings. There are Chinese places closer to me, Chinese places that deliver to me, but I choose to bike or drive to pick up food from here. If you're having friends over for a football game or something, I highly recommend ordering the party tray of rib tips. Inexpensive, and super tasty alternative to wings.

If you are ever craving "slutty chinese food" in brooklyn, LHK is famous as a bed-stuy institution. Upon entering, one is greeted with multiple signs on the walls proudly declaring "BEST rated chinese restaurant in Brooklyn / New York." The rest of you may disagree but I, for one, still cannot understand all the hype behind this place for a couple of reasons: 1) They do not offer any delivery services - period. Say good bye to any hopes of ever ordering delivery from them on grubhub, doordash, ubereats, etc. I also found it a bit hard to understand the speaker when calling ahead to place my order. 2) The filling of the steamed shrimp dumplings had a strange mouthfeel that I found to be somewhat off-putting - stick to pork fried dumplings which at least have a crispy exterior that contrasts nicely with the plump pork filling. 3) While their honey fried wings are popular, I found them to be underwhelming, even with the famous house "mambo sauce." The same holds true for their General Tso's chicken - while it was decent, it just wasn't the "slap-yo-momma-best-chinese-in-brooklyn" that I was hoping for. 4) As this place is cash-only, I'd feel a little better if the person handling the dirty cash was NOT the same person prepping the final stages of the food for orders (or at least wear gloves when doing the latter), especially in the wake of COVID-19... Don't get it twisted: I respect the owner's hustle - Sue was clearly the hardest-working MVP there, multi-tasking to keep operations running smoothly. I wish her all the best as she has clearly figured out a winning formula for her food to appeal to nearby residents. As this restaurant is out of the way for me in bed-stuy, I biked here with high hopes but ended up with the standard american-chinese food experience. For the above-mentioned reasons, I probably won't make the trek here again.

I might be a little biased because I've been going to this Chinese since middle school. Literally this store is the definition of don't judge a book by its cover! If you know you know SUE(the owner of the restaurant)is the hood favorite but let me get down to the eats The food is IMMACULATE I Sue and her crew does not miss! Don't believe me? Try for yourself

Very solid Chinese food spot. We picked up food to go and the restaurant looked very clean and…read morespacious though no one was eating in. The food was very fairly priced and the portions were huge. We got the pork soup dumplings, pork fried rice, szechuan chicken (which came with white rice), and pad see ew (which though not listed comes with pork, chicken, and shrimp). Everything was solid, but our favorite was the fried rice which had a ton of flavor. I liked the veggies that were in the chicken dish but there were just way too many of them compared to the chicken and I wasn't crazy about the sauce. The pad see ew wasn't made the traditional way I've had it with soy sauce and oyster sauce. It had some sort of orange sauce that tasted closer to a sweet and sour. It wasn't bad it was just not what I was hoping for. The soup dumplings were solid, no complaints there. And the fried rice was great, lots of flavor. Overall, I liked this place especially for the price but I'd probably order different things if I went back.

I found parking down the block and walked over to the restaurant. It seems like more of a delivery spot because there was no one inside sitting at any of the 5 tables. It's a fairly good size space, very simply decorated, mixed with a cool wall resembling a curio cabinet of treasures. I chose a spot in the middle and went to the restroom which was clean and simple. I noticed there were a lot of takeout orders, from delivery services to local folks picking up their regular dinner. I looked over the menu and decided on salt and pepper wings and an order of shrimp. Fried Rice came out first and it was delicious. I even tasted a hint of salted egg yolk mixed into the egg mixture friefried up with the rice that signature crispiness with the little saltiness.... fantastic. The salt and pepper wings were different than the ones i'm accustomed to though the flavor was amazing.It didn't have the fried garlic, peppers, chilis, and onions that i'm accustomed to being in the dish. They were still flavorful, juicy and crisp and I could tell they cooked them fresh.That was much appreciated. I ended up taking half of my food home because I was stuffed.Thank you Msm Ellen and the Crown Garden crew for a tasty solo dinner.

Pray tell, why would you send me on my way with 3 packets of duck sauce and one container of…read moreketchup for crab Rangoon?? Where is the sweet & sour? Where is the sweet chili? Cheap. There was nothing that I ordered that needed ketchup. Nothing. There wasn't even soy sauce in the bag. Then had the unmitigated gall to charge $22 for the salt baked shrimp and told me I had to pay $5 extra to substitute the lo mein for white rice. Who is eating white rice with shrimp? Girl bye. I'm not paying almost $30 for one meal from a hood Chinese spot. If there's no heat in your establishment, your prices need to be in lowercase. If it looks like you might catch staph in your establishment, your prices need not to be so loud. I also believe they overcharged me. They did have a sign saying that the prices went up, but I think they may have been too cheap to print out a new menu if that was the case. I was going off of what they had on the wall for the general public. So as I stated, I ordered crab Rangoon ($7, allegedly), honey wings ($7, allegedly), a shrimp egg roll ($2, allegedly), spare rib tips with fried rice ($12, allegedly). My total was $31. My assumption is they probably charged me extra for pork fried rice, which I didn't ask him for. I know for a fact they are not charging tax because there's no way that you're forcing people to pay in cash while also charging them for taxes that you don't pay. The crab Rangoon was actually pretty decent even though I didn't have the sauce that comes with it. The honey wings were OK. They actually taste more like honey BBQ. I prefer C&Y honey wings. It's real honey and stay hot for an hour due to the way honey maintains heat. I also don't appreciate when these spots chop up a wing and call it two wings. 1 wing is the entire thing. STINGY. The spare rib tips I don't like and neither do I like their pork fried rice. The rice is a bit bland and I don't like those large spare rib tips. I prefer the boneless spare rib tips that C&Y has. A shrimp roll is a shrimp roll is a shrimp roll. It wasn't too bad and it was actually pretty happy. The shrimp was a little bit larger than those baby shrimp that they normally stuff in shrimp rolls. Their pricing is on par with C&Y yet I don't have no issues paying what they ask and their food is good aside from their lo mein. They are not stingy and have pretty decent customer service unlike the guy who took my order here who paused my order to take another order over the phone and tend to the person behind me. This is what I get for cheating on my spot and being lazy when they both were far af.

I tried the wontons in spicy peanut sauce. It was different because I'm use to chili wontons. The spicy peanut sauce wasn't spicy. The peanut sauce itself is pretty thick, so I would recommend dipping it in the accompanying dipping sauce to balance the flavors. I would try the spicy peanut wontons again. I also tried the pork soup dumplings, which took some time to cook. It arrives very hot, so give it some time to cool off, maybe 5-10 minutes. The soup dumplings were mid, maybe I would try the truffle soup dumplings if I came back. I love how the dumplings are made in house

It is a chaotic mess for the volume they are trying to do. It's not about adding more manpower, it's about streamlining. Tables are sitting empty while people are on the waitlist (not due to reservations), orders are going to the wrong tables, to-go orders are in disarray and have to be re-verified on multiple orders, and it takes a long time to get some water. The Yelp waitlist is useless here - wait was supposed to be 5-10 minutes and it turned into almost 40. All this could have been avoided with more planning, better organization, and training. Kitchen staff doing their job well. Front of house needs work.
