They will customize your order as best as they can, and when I ask for extra of anything they ACTUALLY give you extra. I love their Lomein and fried tofu so much, and they have good yum yum sauce. The lady who takes my order is nice and efficient and the food is quick and hot. I can genuinely make one dinner tray last me 6-8 dinners because they load up your tray. My bf gets broccoli, beef, and rice and he loves it too. My go-to spot in Cornelius now, highly recommend! (They also have really good fortune cookies) read more

Good oily fried rice on flimsy plate Service not applicable Ambiance if dirty carpet and worn out tables are your thing go for it and one back table was piked with personal belongings. If there was a no star would have picked it read more

I'm on the hunt for the best General Tso in CLT. Unfortunately New York Restaurant only gets 3 stars. The texture isn't good. Too much breading and kinda spongey. The flavor was fine, but I just can't get past the texture. read more

New York Restaurant - General Tso's Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Cornelius, North Carolina

Service is good. Order at counter, just 8 tables inside. Standard American-Chinese fair. Impossible to get them to make anything even remotely spicy--and no hot sauce available on tables or to go. I cannot get over this, and results in a minus-1 star rating. General Tso's chicken, Sa Cha Shrimp and Chicken, and king pao chicken have all been orders and eaten in full. Lunch can be a little busy, but I've always had a seat if I wanted it. But mostly get to go and eat back at the office. read more

Best Chinese in LKN! My absolute favorite Chicken Fried Rice!! My husband loves the General Tso!

Not a fan. Barely edible. Meal had no peppers, rice was mushy. Chicken had odd shapes and texture.

same planet, different world: apparently tables in a chinese takeout is a carolina thing... and dining in too? four for four on the tally. probably the best chinese take out I've had in the south, crab rangoons are properly pinched across the corners and well filled with a crabby cream cheese fluff leaving some room on top for hot mustards :-) lunch-size kung pao chicken is really just too much of a good thing paired with a generous serving of fried rices: green peppers, bamboo shoots, baby corns, water chestnuts, and chickens and peanuts and stuff in a light gravy (plus mushrooms) is just like mother used to order out. fried rice is exactly that and stands up well to being served omelet-style in the finest tradition. ...and an egg roll :-) read more

I guess you didn't read it. I did not give you a favorable review. The food sucked. Everything needs to be fresher. Everything was old.

I have found my go to for Chinese take out!!! Not only is the food delicious, it's reasonable !! We recently ordered a large egg drop soup, boneless bbq ribs, crab rancoon (oh my gosh!! Yummy- you get 10 large pieces per order) chicken lo mein dinner and broccoli beef dinner (comes with either fried or wht rice and an egg roll or spring roll) and all of this for $40!!! We even had lunch for the next day! Give them a try- you will come back! read more

Is this "4 star" food? Not really, but I love cheap Chinese and these guys do what they do. You can eat there if you want to, but seems like more of a to go place. Not quite as cheap as bottom of the barrel Chinese, but still really cheap lunch. I ordered some chicken with mixed vegetables and some General Tso's chicken. Both were great. Perfectly crispy and sauced General Tso's. The chicken with mixed veggies was really heavy on the baby corn and could have used more sauce to bring it together. Could also use some spice, but I guess that would be on me to ask. All in all, its pretty good. Not quite China Bistro good, but close enough and I'll stop back by if ever in the area. read more

I took the food back and the lady takes the bug and squish it in between her fingers and said it was a piece of the mushroom. read more

Good, family run business. Food is very good, fast and reasonably priced - my go to restaurant for Chinese food in Cornelius!

Their chinese is some of the best around! Highly recommend this place. We've tried the moo shu chicken, chicken with garlic sauce, hot and sour soup and shrimp lo mein so far. All yummy! read more

i just had a craving for quick, easy Chinese food. Did a quick Yelp search, and found this place. A $6 lunch meal that had enough food for two? I'm down for it. I ordered the scallion chicken (I asked for the opinion of the girl who was working there) lunch portion, and it was delicious! The inside of the restaurant doesn't have any bells or whistles. It's small and plain. But when I want quick Chinese food, I don't really care about the ambience, just the food. I'll be back and order more of the scallion chicken, maybe another couple of orders.... read more

As a family of native New Yorkers, we have been eating here for close to a decade now. This restaurant is right on in comparison to the local NYC eateries we are used to on a NYC block.The food is flavorful, hot, and affordable every order just like you'd find in NYC. read more

New York Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Cornelius, North Carolina

I'm new to the area from the SF Bay. I didn't expect the quality I'm used to. What a surprise! The flavors were on point, the portions are huge and the price is right. It's DEFINITELY a takeout joint, but there ARE table settings inside and the bathrooms are clean. The hot & sour soup is delicious, chock full of goodies & would clear a rhino's nostrils.. but had carrot shreds I didn't expect. My chicken lo mein was outstanding. So yea, definitely a takeout place unless you're just killing time but the food itself is pretty great. read more

Food is terrible. I sat on the toilet with explosive diarrhea for three days after eating here. I wouldn't recommend it as a substitute for Alpo for my dogs. read more

Food was just ok. Interior is lacking and needs updating. Service was quick. Not a place I would come back to. read more

For a Chinese take out restaurant... this is a solid 4. Don't expect any glitz or glamour here... and don't expect to walk in and review them on the facilities. If you are sitting and dining, you aren't going to appreciate this illustrious Corn-town cuisine for what it is... or maybe that will just add to the experience for you. The facility is what you think of any typical walk-in Chinese restaurant. Small, old booths, carpet that needs updating... yaknow, the usual. It is what it is. The food... is... bomb as bump... For quick, greasy, Chinese food. My 33 year old dad-bod self was feeling 22 again last night and hit the town pretty hard. Well, as hard as you can in Cornelius. Feeling sub-par and needing some afternoon comfort food today, NY Restaurant was first on my mind. I called ahead and ordered the Vegetable Lo Mein. VLM has been my favorite Chinese dish since high school and NYR doesn't disappoint. Salty enough to soak up any questionable decisions from the night before and flavorful enough to put a smile on my face while I sit on the couch and watch teeny bopper high school movies. In the past, when I would order Chicken Lo Mein, it would be pumped full of chicken... the veggie option could use a few more vegetables. There were 5 delicious pieces of broccoli along with some onions and mushrooms. Other than that, #yumyum #nomnom. With any Chinese restaurant... If you get rice, I always suggest white rice over fried rice, btw Some other items I've loved: Singapore Mei Fun Egg Drop Soup Crab Rangun read more

The best Chinese food place! Great food! Good prices. Very friendly staff! You can dine in Order it to go Or call in your order. read more

I keep getting a white plastic material in my chicken, broccoli meal! It is like it is poured from one bag and processed. Also, most of their food is too salty and MSG-too much, ugh! read more

I've been eating at this place for 17 years. It's absolutely delicious and the best Chinese food you'll have in Lake Norman. Highly recommend the fried dumplings! read more

Get your grease on. I love the food here not because it is quality but rather they excel in going all out into the greasy fake Americanized Chinese food. Don't let the name fool you, this is not a pizza place, they serve Chinese food. I had the Lo Mein and the Fried Dumplings. Both coated my entire mouth with a thick layer of oily grease goodness. They cook the spare ribs too much for my taste. My fellow enthusiasts had a garlic chicken dish and enjoyed it but then had a simultaneous stomach ache. This is probably a fluke but if you have one let me know. read more

I Love This Restaurant But It Says They Are Open On Sundays But Everytime You Call They Don't Answer So I Would Love If They Put It Up Online That They Are Closed On Sundays Instead Of Open Because It Can Be Very Frustrating For People Who Want To Order Take Out read more

This place has been in business for a hot minute! Their food continues to be great! Hot & delicious, what else could you ask for?

I so wanted to love this place because I have not found a great Chinese restaurant since moving here. Unfortunately it's not here and I am still on the look. I ordered general tso's which might not have had actual chicken under the breading. It was exceptionally dry although I could imagine it might have had good flavor 3-4 days ago when it was fresh. This came with fried rice which had a very heavy smoke flavoring which was unfortunate. The meal also came with an egg roll which is my favorite but this egg roll was simply awful. It had a strong and distinct flavor which I think of as an msg flavor but I really don't know what it is. I just know it was yucky. Lastly, I ordered crab Rangoon which were cooked perfectly but the crab mixture was dessert level sweet which failed to hit the mark. read more

Learn English, you should know what chicken fried rice is!!!!! You claim only white rice you have!!

I had a wonderful experience until I ordered about the third time. I ordered Chow Mein expecting a dish of noodles, as I had received previously. I was given vegetables in a smelly sauce :( I was then told I would have a credit on my number for the next order, however when I called back the manager asked "what you want?!" and added Chow Mein is not noodles. I was shocked to hear this since I have ordered this Chinese dish many times in my life. I will not be returning. I hope you will double check your orders if you choose to order from this place. read more

Best Chinese food in LKN area. Never disappointed with the take out we get. They speak English well too!

The food is great. Their potions are large which is a plus. I usually pick up my orders and they are usually ready within 10 minutes. Tip: don't forget the soy sauce when picking up orders. They will not put it in the bag for you! read more

The food at this restaurant is pretty good, so it was disappointing when we saw the proprietor and his wife loudly berate a customer who claimed they got her order wrong. She had asked for a "vegetable" version of a dish which usually contains meat and, misunderstanding, the wife brought her the "meat" version. When the customer demurred, the couple started haranguing her, telling her she was wrong and complaining that they'd now have to throw the food away. It was shockingly rude and I, for one, will never be going back there. read more

We were surprised how good the food was. We will have to sample a few more dishes to give a more informed review. read more

This place provides great food and quick service! We frequent this place often! Happy Early Chinese New Year!

My Go-to choice for Chinese in Cornelius. Very friendly and family owned. Good tasting with no msg.

This is the best Chinese food that I've had in NC. We moved from MI 7 months ago and it's been difficult finding a new place, but I think we finally hit pay dirt very tasty won ton soup and the chicken fried rice was awesome. They used fresh ingredients! We will definitely be back. read more

Good cheap Chinese food, large portions. Always a favorite nearby option. Crab Rangoon here are probably some of my favorite in the area.

Searching for a late evening place to eat with not much to choose from we thought we'd give this place a try. What a great surprise! So good in fact we went back for New Year's Eve! I don't think many people eat at the restaurant but there was a steady line of customers getting take-out. We had the crab Rangoon's, won ton soup, Hunan Beef, Seafood Trio, the Sweet and Sour Shrimp, and Egg rolls. All the food was very good and had lots of flavor - the sweet & sour sauce is made in the restaurant daily. The brown sauce on the side is also amazing! The egg rolls were a little overcooked but still - it's fried Chinese! read more

DELICIOUS, Chinese Take-out!!!! I've eaten here with my family, maybe 20 times last couple of years & its ALWAYS been GREAT!!! I also, like to use COUPONS and they usually have several good ones,right on the takeout menu. Its just OK, to sit in and eat(kinda bland decor, with simple booths) we just mainly, do the TAKEOUT, & once again,its ALWAYS been DELICIOUS & I highly recommend!!! read more

Very disappointed. Dinner tonight was scallion chicken, sesame chicken and beef & broccoli. Mediocre at best - very bland. What really upset me is the ultra small dinner servings. Normal Chinese is served in clamshell or large round bowls with clear top. These portion were in tiny square divided trays. On top of that, the cost was $1 or $2 more than other local places. I specifically asked if the dinner combos were larger than the lunch and was told yes. I hate to see the lunch serving size. Very upset with my blown $32. read more
