Nanking - A Perfect Spot for Layovers (or Locals)! When my in-laws had a long layover at JFK, we decided to meet them for dinner, and Nanking turned out to be a fantastic choice. As a Brooklyn local, I hadn't explored many restaurants near JFK, and found slim pickings for Chinese or Thai food by the airport. First off, the ambiance is good--booth seating along the walls and a welcoming, authentic vibe. I was a bit skeptical at first about the large menu (Indian, Thai, and Chinese?!) because that's often a red flag. But, spoiler alert: Nanking proved me wrong! What we ordered: * Navaratan Korma: Super fresh veggies, rich and flavorful. As someone who makes this at home, I was impressed! * Lamb Korma: Delicious, tender, and full of depth. * Naan: A little thinner than usual but still tasty, especially paired with the curries. * Hot and Sour Soup: the in-laws finished their bowl. * Fish Curry: when my FIL ordered this we had a mini-panic that it wouldn't be fresh given the large menu and not apparent seafood focus -- bad fish ahead of a international flight seems worth avoiding at all costs -- but our server was quick and confident with her assertion the fish was fresh and I stood corrected! FIL reported back that it was flavorful, fresh and not overly creamy. * Butter Chicken: A weekly favorite of a diner sitting near us who gave it high praise, and the MIL reported she was right. (Her tip: Pair it with garlic naan--A+ advice!) The drink deals were great, and the prices overall were super reasonable. The only downside was the timing--our food took about 30 minutes, and the drinks were slow too. But with a party of 20 arriving at the same time as us, it's understandable. (And kudos to the menu for being upfront: "Let us know if you're in a hurry.") In short, Nanking is a gem for anyone looking for authentic flavors near JFK. My in-laws left happy, and if the situation presents itself again well definitely be back. read more

This review is specifically for delivery via Yelp Grubhub. This restaurant business is a combination of Chinese/West Indian/Thai cuisine. At week's end for a very weary Saturday, I could not move my body to get out to attain brunch but decided to give delivery the o' college try. Food does not contain any substance. Subsequently, I inadvertently placed a second separate order of chicken Manchurian and had a hard time cancelling. Nanking had the audacity to inquire why I want to cancel my second separate delivery order. It was created in error! Grubhub automatically include: tax, tip, delivery fee, and service fee. I called Nanking to cancel this chicken Manchurian order who instructed me to directly contact Grubhub for cancelling because Nanking has no ability to cancel as this order originated from Grubhub. Delivery was approximately 45 minutes eternal wait timeline. I have no plans for a return delivery order nor a in-person visit dining experience. Oh, hell NO!! Steamed shrimp dumplings, haa1 gaau2 蝦餃, $10.99 These dumplings were average and was accompanied with excessive high sodium content soy sauce to raise high blood pressure increasing the risk of heart disease and possibly stroke. Vegetable noodle soup $7.50 Very minimal noodles content but heavy concentration of vegetables. It was heavily swimming in clear broth. The broth was not salty. This noodle soup does not contain any substance. Bye, Felicia! read more

So I'm going to rate this a cool 3 stars. My first time trying this place I had the Nanking mix platter and chili garlic fried rice. I feel like the rice was decent, I could've chosen a different flavor (they have so many rice options) that would've went well with the mood I was feeling that night. The platter however was pretty good, I really enjoyed this. It isn't something I would typically go for but it was cooked and seasoned really well. The second time I ordered, I got one of my favorite dishes, drunken noodles but this dish fell a bit short for me. It was just okay, it wasn't very memorable but it wasn't bad. The shrimp was a bit under seasoned. Delivery was pretty quick! read more

Very unprofessional business. I placed an order on grub hub and the restaurant called and asked for the order to be placed directly with them. I agreed. The restaurant then cancelled my grub hub delivery. I waited 1.5 hours and still no food. I called the restaurant multiple times asking when the food will be delivered. Nanking then cancelled my order. I never got any food. read more

Food at this location is okay. Drinks and ambiance are really what to come here for. Food is okay, nothing to write home about. If you're looking for a good all around experience I'd try their other location on Hillside ave, food is much better there. read more

We went during a Sunday afternoon and the restaurant was completely empty. Yet, our food took close to one hour to come out. The drinks also took a while, I'm just happy they were tasty. The naans were tough and the paneer butter curry was way too tomato-based. The tandoori chicken had not salt. The only decent item was the goat biryani. However $22 is quite steep. Wouldn't return because the vibes were not it and food was just okay. read more

Naanking on Rockaway blvd. Honestly food was just not great. There was a spill for our manchow soup which I understand can happen sometimes, and the place was kind enough to give us extra soups delivered to our house. But the rest of the food wasn't great. The naan was just tough to break hard to chew. The butter chicken, we asked for spicy but just tasted like someone dumped a whole bag of sugar in it. The veg Manchurian was just salty. The Naanking in North new Hyde park is 10 times better. Customer service was good though. read more

Wow! The food was delicious. Although Indian and Thai fusion sounded a little unusual to me, I definitely don't regret trying it. The customer service was exceptional, and our waiter was very pleasant and helpful in recommending dishes. The ambiance of the place is very inviting. I loved it and will definitely be going back again! read more

One of my favourite Indian/Thai restaurant in Richmond Hill NY. The food and service were on point. I WILL BE BACK!!!

Disappointed ... the service was not bad taking into consideration that we were the only table there. The food was not good at all. The soups were good. We had the sweet corn soup and the man chow soup. The chilli garlic noodles were okay. Szechwan Chicken was dry & tasted stail. We mentioned it to our server but he did nothing & didn't even offer to change the dish. Felt like we were served leftovers. Overall never coming back here again. read more

I read the reviews on Yelp and knew I needed to check Nanking out. I am certainly glad I did. I was welcomed when I came into the very peaceful and relaxing dining area. I was quickly seated, and had some water poured quickly. I used the Yelp check in offer, which was delicious! I ended up having the Palak Paneer and veggie samosas as an appetizer. The samosas came out fairly quickly and they were very tasty. The dough had a little bit of sweetness to it and the filling was cooked very well. The samosas came with two sauces which one was minty and the other was tamarind. Quite flavorful and added to the deliciousness of the samosas. The Palak Paneer was outstanding. It comes with steamed rice which was well cooked. The Panner was a little spicy (they ask if you want it mild, medium, or spicy) but could have been a bit spicier for my tastes. I really enjoyed the flavors of the dish. It was amazingly rich. The service was great, very attentive, but not overbearing. I liked it so much I debated coming back again the next day but I wanted to try a different place while I was in town. I'll be back if given the chance. read more

Didn't quiet know what to expect, but I was surprised. This is a cosy with a modern layout with a few tables around 20 and a small bar (no seats at bar). The fusion spreads accross with Thai, Singapore, Chinese, and Indian. When you check in on yelp you get a free mangotini- which is sweet mango forward, but does have the taste of booze at the end. I tired the hot and shout soup, with chicken and it was a bit salty (soy sauce heavy) but was one of the best I have had. For the main, I tired to Singapore chicken and veggies noodles and it was also great, was a bit spicy which I enjoyed. They also have two sauces that is places on the table along with sliced Fresno peppers. I will be back to try some other items. read more

We're just staying in a hotel near my for an early morning flight. So glad we decided to leave the hotel restaurant behind and try this place! The neighborhood is a little sketchy but there was plenty of parking right in front! The food is delicious! Some of the best Indian food I've ever had. Colossal shrimp tandoori! The mushroom app... yum!!! My husband's lamb dish was heavenly! read more

Solid tasting Indian/Asian fusion food. And it's Halal? Sign me up! Hot and sour soup, dry chili paneer, Kati Rolls, and the chicken manchurian were all amazing and delicious. My favorite appetizer is the mixed vegetable dumpling, which is excellent. I've been here three times now, and the food is consistently above-average and the service is fast, friendly, and courteous each time. Located in Queens off Rockaway, in a quasi-suspect neighborhood. Street parking is limited but available every time. I recommend. read more

We came here to celebrate my boyfriend's mother's birthday. The decor is something you'd see in a movie titled Hidden Dragon, minus the Crouching Tiger. If you check in via Yelp you can redeem a complimentary Mangotini. We started off with a plethora of apps: Samosas, Kai Chi, Steamed Chicken dumplings, Papaya Salad, and Garlic Naan. Everything was delicious except for the Papaya Salad. The ginger was overwhelming and I couldn't wrap my head around why anyone would want to order it. We decided to split our entrees family style. We ordered the Chili Shrimp, Chicken Pad Thai, Pineapple Fried Rice, and the Chicken Tikka Masala. Everything was phenomenal and filled us up rather quickly. Halfway through my meal I had the itis. The reason Nanking didn't receive five stars is because the service was slow. The busboys reached over me and my plate to remove items from the table without excusing themselves. Also they kept running into my purse that was hanging on the back of my chair without apologizing. read more

I've been to the Nanking Restaurant in Manhattan and the one in New Hyde Park before. Compared to those two, this location was tiny! That's a good thing because the restaurant was empty when I came here for lunch. I really like their décor, as it doesn't look like a cheap Indian restaurant. The food is always great at Nanking. I had the Kai Chi for appetizer (other places calls them lollipop chicken). They were very good and I couldn't stop eating them, and I'm not ashamed to say that I stole one from my wife's plate. I had the Chicken Tikka Masala with Garlic Naan and both were excellent (just the way I expected). The chicken had a lot of flavor and wasn't crazy spicy. I'm never in the area, but at least now I know where to eat if I'm back in Ozone Park. read more

A decent option if you're in the JFK area and are in need of a sit-down dinner. Given the breadth of the menu (spanning Chinese, Thai and Indian) - it's not a surprise that the items are a bit of a hit or miss. The lamb korma and the garlic naan here were the highlight for us - the flavors of the korma were spot on and the garlic naan was doused in garlic, ghee and baked to perfection. The Singapore noodles were also good- the flavors and consistency were pretty much right on. The Chicken Tikka Masala, on the other hand, was not the best ever as some other reviews suggest (esp not at $15!). It was overly sweet and heavy on the tomatoes - I understand each place has its own version of the dish, but this was really out there and not something I could finish. The papaya salad was also oddly (creatively?) prepared. The green papaya wasn't shredded in thin slices - instead, it was chopped like cuts of French fries. As a result, the flavors of the dressing didn't soak into the green papaya and the salad was bland and a difficult to enjoy. The panang curry was also off- it was too heavy on the peanut flavor and lacked the usually more complex curry flavor. The chicken inside the curry was lightly breaded- also strange to my taste buds. Service was great though - relatively fast, attentive and helpful. read more

The food was absolutely delicious and the service was good. The servers were really nice and made sure to keep our water glasses full. I went with 4 people and we each got a different dish and they all were really good, the portions are great for the price. read more

I think I need to move! I'm only going to be in NY for a few hours as I missed my flight back to PHX! I decided to make the best of it and... find something good to EAT! And once again yelp comes through in a clutch! I simply searched nearby take out and at the top of the list was this GEM! There were plenty of vegitarian options and the prices were decent as well! Everything was hot and flavorful I ordered Pad Thai Noodles, Vegetable Spring Rolls and tried something I never heard of Dry Vegetable Manchurian! I ordered the pad Thai extra spicy which it was yet still delicious and they also put sauce on the side! Everything was so good I wish I was staying longer so I could try more N.Y. food...because this was so yummy my tastebuds were pleased! read more

I wanted to like this place a bit more and my desires was not met. We went on our lunch break after convincing my co workers to drive 15 minutes to try out this place. Emphasis on lunch break. First the waitress gave us dinner menus and we had to request for lunch menus (bait to increase sale for a higher bill amount). Nevertheless, both menus were extensive and seemed tasty. I appreciate a place with an extensive menu. My hot and sour soup was amazing. My co worker corn soup was ehh...ok. As an appetizer, we ordered the Chilli shrimp which was good. Both items took 20 minutes to come out. After waiting close to 45 minutes to an hour, our entrees finally came. Oh, except mine, which took an additional 20 minutes after everyone's meal. This gave me the opportunity to sample. Signapore noodles A- Balance of spice and overtone of Curry Chilli Shrimp with rice- B+ Excellent sauce, great amount of spice, rice was mushy Chilli fried Lamb- Saltyyyyy but very good. It could use more spice. The looks of it is deceiving. It looks spicier than it is. 20 minutes later.........my dish of Lamb Vindaloo. One of my favorite Indian dishes. I had an expectation of that bright red sauce and an atomic level of spice blended with tender lamb. What I got was Vindaloo with no spice, tough meat and an extreme lack of flavor. I grabbed their house made pepper to douse my meal. It still was not where I needed it to be. I had to send the plate back to be remade. This was not Vindaloo from the Goa region of India. This was lamb and tomato sauce. 20 minutes later...my dish was remade. Still was not Vindaloo. I ate it and was appreciative of the attempt. Best part of my meal was the Nan bread and using it to dip in the lentils. I will return and try something else..... Not on a lunch break...... read more

One of my favorite spots. I love their curried shrimp however the shrimp used to be large and succulent now they are tiny and hard as stone. It seems the product quality has dropped while the prices went up. I'm hoping it's due to COVID and will go back to normal at some point. The garlic naan was still awesome. Glad that didn't change. read more
