Booths of a bygone era but the food stands the test of time. Started in 1991 this old school spot fries their own noodles nuff said. No lunch special on holidays but.. Ate: Special diet tofu and veggies Wonton soup The crispy noodles. Good tea. Total: $20 before tip The noodles are tops. Have missed them since Silver Star closed & Hunan Cottage stopped frying theirs after Covid.. Great wonton soup! The presentation of the main was in the basket was nifty, though I didn't love the brown sauce but will I go back. Hell yes, because this food-comfort level is priceless & cause this is my old stomping grounds. read more

I have seen this place in the neighborhood since I moved here over twenty years ago but never went in because their prices were a little higher than standard takeout spots, probably since they have a seating area and a bar. I finally tried their lunch special, which was pretty good. I got chicken and broccoli over pork fried rice, and it came with soup and fried wonton skins that seemed to be made in house rather than the pre packaged strips. After I finished my lunch, I opened the soup and found a rubber band inside. That immediately made me question the sanitary conditions of the rest of the food. If they were careless enough to let a rubber band end up in the soup, it makes you wonder what else might be falling into the food and going unnoticed. Are there other random items above the cooking station that end up in dishes and just get caught and served afterwards anyways? Who knows. Either way, this will be my first and last time coming here. read more

New Ruan's Restaurant and Cater - 酸辣湯 / T03. Hot and Sour Soup - Chinese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Food and service are both terrible. I should have never listened to some Insta dude who swore this place is a gem. More like a rock than a gem. read more

They prepared the food fast during what seemed to be a slow lunch . The happy family was pretty good , plenty of meat and seafood . Good sauce and vegetables . The pork fried rice really dry and no char wok flavor . Was just brown The chicken curry great flavor but way more onions than chicken . The lunch special soups were good. But there was more fried rice than the lo mein and beef and broccoli. I'd give them another chance but no fried rice this time . read more

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. read more

For the past two years, we have ordered from here at least once a week. No joke; very serious. We are very serious in our house about great chinese take-out, but we were left a bit perplexed from our most recent take-out experience this past weekend. It looked like the same great food, but taste-wise, something seemed off. The chicken steamed dumplings were more dry on the inside; the chicken and broccoli didn't have the same great flavors as before, but left a lingering aftertaste. My husband couldn't take the smell of the roast pork lo mein, his staple and favorite, to only be turned off by it. The delivery is always reasonable and packaged very well. For the price you are paying for any kind of take-out, this is definitely on the pricer side, but once again - it's usually worth it. I was pretty deflated from this last order and will take a break from it for a while to see if anything changes. I'm hoping it was just an off day, but there's other places I will try before running back here next week, sadly. read more

Yooo I'm a high schooler and I got invited to an event in my middle school since my brothers in tha school which is also my middle school and all I gotta say it the food is highkey gas asf it tastes mad good too except for the veggie dumpling tho it's ehh it's alr either way come try this out!!! read more

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! read more

Absolutely terrible food. We ordered 200.00 worth of food for 10 people and not one person said they liked the food. What a waste of money!! The fried rice was so over cooked and dried up. The chicken tasted funny!! Never ordering again from here! read more

Food was horrible old rice burnt General tso chicken. Spent 55 dollars I was very dissatisfied place used. To be good don't recommend it

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. read more

Food is great but now I'll never order again whoever I spoke to on phone was a nasty man . I had almost a 200$ order , they forgot my spare ribs , I called too let them know they said over 1 hour wait I said that's fine just credit me for next order . They called me back basically saying I was a liar yelling that he put them in the bag when they forgot them. Never ordering again read more

Been here multiple times. Take out & dine in. If you seek old school, tablecloth restaurant Chinese food experience, this is it.

Foods don't taste as good as the old days and they keep increasing the prices!!Not impressed.

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 . read more

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.

Food was delicious, (as always) fresh ingredients, delivery was quick. Overall a great meal

I have ordered here several times. Definitely satisfied as far as a fast food Chinese place. ... The food tastes good and the quality is better than most places in the area. ... I would have rated 4 stars, except for the delivery experience which was terrible. The delivery person yelled at me for not coming outside in the freezing cold, as I have a baby at home. And then continued to yell after I asked him to wait a couple of minutes while I got the money. ... I called to complain and they were courteous and apologized about it. read more

Been going to new Ruans for years with my family and it's the best food hands down! 10/10 everything

I order take out at least once a week and sometimes eat there. Food is very good and Jimmy is always helpful. I have the sweet and sour soup spare ribs and chicken broccoli and black bean sauce. I've eaten lobster ginger scallion. The restaurant is old style Cantonese but clean and service is great. Still a good neighborhood restaurant. read more

It is so important to represent so many great Chinese restaurants in my home area of near Bensonhurst and I am sad I did not review New Ruan earlier when the memories of the meal itself were fresher. I first due to my brother in-laws' recommendation. I would normally not receive news of such a place because I do not participate enough I bring you this review in English to bring their excellency to a wider audience including Chinese Brooklyites who may not read Chinese such as I. While there're so many nearby great Chinese restaurants such as Yummy Rice (formerly King's Taste) and Hometown Restaurant both on 18 Av, New Ruan's is also excellent and worthy of your attention. I don't remember the meal I had here precisely as it was 8mos ago other than we used it for my in-laws' birthday celebration and it was as grand, big, delicious, and feast-like a birthday meal as we'd all hoped. Will update closer to the next visit. read more

Was really wanting some Chinese food during the lockdown but every restaurant was closed. Someone posted this one on FB so I gave them a shot. It is certain that I will order from here many times if they continue delivering to my area once the lockdown has been lifted. I got a couple of entrees to have some food for a few days: chicken and broccoli, plain fried rice and an egg roll, and an order of chicken lo mein with plain fried rice and an egg roll. I was overjoyed to see that this restaurant serves fried rice that is a dark brown color. Most restaurants serve this pale yellow looking stuff that to me is not fried rice at all. The only other place I've found that has dark brown fried rice is Chopstix, however, any time I order it, some of the rice is still white and it's bland due to Chopstix being more interested in speed than quality. This place had dark, wonderfully flavored fried rice. The broccoli in the dish was the way I like it, which is probably very different than most. I do not like hard, crunchy broccoli that seems as if it was thrown into hot water for 10 seconds and then put into the meal. I like it to be soft all the way through and it was. It was just a terrific lunch. The lo mein was a dark brown color with good flavor and is on the "order again" list as well. The egg roll was NOT greasy at all and had a thick, nice coating. Delivery time was about 60 minutes which is totally understandable since they are a couple of miles away from me. read more

I have eaten at this restaurant multiple times and it has always been absolutely excellent but last night they put a sculpted carrot in my dish in the shape of awhich they have done in the past and it is absolutely beautiful however... When I took home a doggy bag I asked that the carrot sculpture go in the doggy bag as well. The waiter told me no we need it we reuse it. I was absolutely horrified I had picked it up and touched it my husband had picked it up and touched it so God only knows how many other hands have touched it and this actually goes into your food which I find absolutely positively despicable and disgusting. They absolutely need to be stopped !!! It may be a Board of Health issue. read more

The service is great! The food is very fresh! I highly reccomend the general tsos chicken! One of my favorite chinease places in the area!

Rating this solely on delivery. Best Chinese food in the area. Very quick and efficient. The food is amazing. Great portion size, the chicken is so crispy, & flavorful. I love how they give oranges in every delivery. It's pretty cool and different. I highly recommend the general Tso Chicken, & Shrimp with Broccoli in garlic Sauce, both with egg fried rice. read more

All of the food tasted like grease. Even things that you wouldn't think would taste like grease tasted like grease. The dumplings were tough and overdone. The noodles were so greasy they could coat your mouth. I ordered the boneless ribs, and they were more like rib tips. Very little meat, lots of fat, and dry. The rice was over done and tasted like oil as well. The delivery was efficient, and on time. But the food was not great, and was super expensive. I am sure there are other restaurants in the neighborhood that serve the same meal for a lot less. I did like the fresh duck sauce. It was a good touch even though I needed more to drown out the taste of everything else. Overall, I wouldn't recommend. read more

PLEASE AVOID TRYING OUT THE FOOD FROM HERE! I've tried giving this place a try twice & it was just not good at all. There's a reason why this place is ALWAYS empty, & it's cause their food taste EXTREMELY STALE! Like...ZERO FLAVOR. Seriously, I've never had fried rice that tasted so bland. Their wings were just as bland. Who the hell knows how long they are freezing their food for - BUT IT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT FRESH AT ALL!!! I'm surprised they never got shut down smh. Terrible experiences here. read more

I always enjoy my takeout and the delivery person was friendly and polite. Always great service and order was delivered in a timely fashion.

Decided to treat myself to ribs. Something I never eat so I want an experience. Most tasteless hunks of meat ever. Probably my whole meal will follow suit. Most overrated Chinese joint in town! Oh gross again. Trying my egg roll. No flavor! If I'm going to eat greasy junk food I want it to taste good! This is all going in the garbage along with my 40 bucks. You were good 20 years ago. Now you suck. Time to close up shop. read more

This place was amazing years ago... now you order three dishes and they give you one small order of rice. Everything is so much more expensive and the quality of the food has dropped. No flavor on the classic dishes and basically it feels like they just want money without offering the goods like they used to. read more

Our meal was absolutely delicious! The best Chinese around if you ask me! The egg drop soup was perfect not thick and jello like. The fried rice was actual fried rice and not just yellow rice. Chicken and broccoli was amazing and the brown sauce is perfect! read more

I have been going to this restaurant since it opened and I believe it is still under the same manager. The food is always high-quality and delicious and the service is also impeccable.

Expensive but worth it! Great food and soups. Their hot and sour is one of the best and the house made noodles are a very big hit!
