31. B.B.Q. Spare Ribs Lunch Special. DELICIOUS!
Jason R.

Anyone who is looking for solid, really good Chinese food should stop by Ruans. I've been come here for at least 20 years. Never had a bad meal. The spare ribs are amazing. The service is always friendly and accommodating. The ambiance is nice and laid back.

Shrimp with 30. Mix Vegetables with Protein Combo
Lesley O.

Lately; everywhere I order from near where I live is such a disappointment. When you order a protein with vegetables, there is an expectation that it will have pea pods, water chestnuts, baby corn, etc. I was ecstatic when I found out that New Ruan's had exactly what I had expected and had been looking for so long!! I also really enjoy the shrimp with string beans. Absolutely delicious!

This is one of the nicest old school Chinese restaurants which is very traditional and the inside is absolutely stunning. The menu is expensive and the customer service is over the top. The location on 86 street is excellent, very quaint and invokes, a sense of old world Chinatown, especially when inside. The small bar area is also very attractive and an excellent place to sit and have some drinks.

It's not everyday that an old school Bensonhurst staple of the 1990s & 2000s not only sticks around, but manages to get it right, somehow get better and still keep its old school Brooklyn charm. New Ruan's is that rare gem! With all the recent closures of Asian gems in the area and more spots pushing their last order times earlier and earlier, New Ruan's is that staple that will never disappoint where you can get a true NYC Chinese meal at 9:30pm with enough time to spare for a drink afterwards. You get seated, the old school NYC Chinese restaurant vibes are all over the place, hot tea is delivered immediately, water is quickly poured and those crispy noodles with sauces are all dropped within the first minute of being seated by an attentive, welcoming and humorous waiter that's been there since day one. This place IS old school NYC Chinese food by definition. A place you know you will get a proper NYC Chinese meal. We ordered the string beans with beef combo which was not only delicious and fresh (string beans were actual string beans) but the roast pork fried rice was silly (not clumpy or stale) and the egg roll, well, it was a proper egg roll. Just like the ones I ate every week as a child in NYC. And I also made sure to order my personal favorite: that old school seafood pan fried noodle dish. And let me just say the following: New Ruan's always gets it right with this dish. The seafood is always fresh, the noodles are always crispy and the sauce is clean! It's so damn good that I always want more to take home. So for those that don't know, if you want that old school classic NYC Chinese food table experience, New Ruan's got you covered! You will not be disappointed. A staple of the community that has stood the test of time and should still be serving amazing NYC Chinese food well after we are all gone from this earth. No joke, you want the real deal, some nostalgia with amazing results that were just as good, if not better than you last remembered? Than look no further than New Ruan's in Bensonhurst. Facts.

You must try the best Cantonese Shrimp Wonton Noodle Soup ! This soup is for two to share. However my sister and I have each ordered it so we did not have to share ! It is that good ! Their Boneless Spare Ribs are a great appetizer . Grilled Pork Chops cooked with lemon grass is Excellent ! My friend and I always order the House Special Fried Rice. This is a great side dish with anything on the menu . Gung Hay Fat Choy ! to all the wonderful people at this restaurant .

Great service !! Very friendly and accommodating at New Ruans. You can share all dishes on the menu or eat it for yourself. The dishes served are very good portions and you will have stuff to take home. Everything comes with rice. Wonton chips with duck sauce and hot mustard will be waiting on your table. Kitchen is super fast. Good place for family.

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 had a taste for Chinese food like good old school. Chinese food and I happen to look on one of…read morethe delivery apps and located this place. 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.
