Great food! Great service! Highly recommended! Better than nearby restaurants in the area!

Seems ok Chinese food place. I ordered General Tso chicken online for pick up. The chicken pieces are big but the sauce is too sweet to my taste and there is no spicy flavor. The restaurant seems to be clean. read more

This is my new favorite Chinese restaurant. Everything I had was delicious. Not sure why I waited so long on trying it. There's been a few times I was going to order here, but then backed out. I think when it comes to Chinese food, we tend to get attached to a favorite place, even if you know in your heart that the food doesn't quite hit like it once did. I'm glad I finally decided to pull the trigger. In the past, I would have put Tsingtao house in a category of more upscale, pricier, Chinese restaurant...but these days, even the hole in the walls are pricey! Truthfully, for what I ordered at Tsingtao, I thought the prices were a tremendous value, given the quality of the food is top tier! My recommendation is anything with garlic sauce! So freaking good! read more

Hidden Gem in Henrietta - Authentic, Flavor-Packed Chinese Food If you're looking for truly authentic Chinese food in Henrietta, this mom-and-pop spot is a must-visit. The dumplings are a revelation -- perfectly crispy on the outside, tender and juicy inside. Their spicy chili cucumber is fresh, bright, and packs the perfect kick, while the cumin chicken is fragrant, deeply flavorful, and somehow manages to be spicy without being greasy. Portions are huge -- you'll almost certainly leave with leftovers -- and the service is impressively quick without feeling rushed. The tea seems bottomless, and the no-nonsense, unpretentious atmosphere makes it feel like you're part of the regular crowd. Speaking of which, it's easy to see why they have so many loyal repeat customers. This place focuses on what matters: great food, served fast, with no shortcuts. A real local treasure -- come hungry! read more

I wouldn't call it super authentic compared to the restaurants you'll find in bigger cities but it was a step above the average Chinese-American spot. It was super busy on a Saturday night, it was a bit hard to find parking since it's tucked away in the side of the building. Service was typical but nothing special. We basically had to come to the counter to be sat, get checks, boxes, etc The food: We got cumin lamb, sesame chicken, and hot and sour soup. The cumin lamb was a bit different than what I was expecting compared to what I had at other restaurants, but the peppers were a nice touch. The sesame chicken was great but the hot and sour soup was a little watery. Overall it's worth checking out but not somewhere I'd visit often. read more

I can't speak to the ambiance or atmosphere of the place since I got takeout, but the food is so good!! I got the Seafood Tofu Hot Pot. The chunks of fish were perfectly cooked and the tofu was so juicy and tender. The shrimp were huge. They didn't skimp on portions at all. Also, the order was (thoughtfully) wrapped in a plastic bag so the juices didn't explode everywhere, which was much appreciated. The order came with a side of rice also. read more

A Rochester gem. Relatively cheap for the large portion sizes. Fantastic service even if you don't speak Chinese!! Free rice refills, water, and the aunties there love to know what you're up to. If you're missing home cooked Chinese food this is the spot. The cold chicken appetizer and minced meat garlic eggplant are amazing! read more

Menu was very traditional I believe-- and we really enjoyed what we ordered! I saw other reviews prior to going, so I was a little concerned about the service-- but the real answer is that there was one woman taking care of the dining room as well as the phone-- she was working her butt off and I don't really care that she had the phone on her shoulder when she came to the table! The food was brought out quickly and correctly, we didn't want for anything, and had a great dinner-- including some dishes that my kids ordered that were a little too "traditional" for me!! We saw A LOT of takeout go out the door while we were there. read more

A couple of years have passed since we last visited this fine place. At this point, I thinking I will not let more than a month pass! It is fantastic. Space is clean and very comfortable. The menu has an amazing variety of wonderful options! In fact the menu felt overwhelming- and the amazing staff person asked a few questions and made some suggestions- that ended up giving the perfect dishes for each of us. I want to call out the Salt and Pepper Squid appetizer! I have had this in many establishments in many locations around the country- NONE come close to bringing as good as the dish we were served! read more

Excell food. Had beef roll, Crispy Pork chops, w Taiwan style pork belly over rice and Curry beef brisk hot pot. All was excellent, the brisk was very tender. Service is a little slow as it appears to be family run and, the place was packed on a Monday and only cashier takes orders while a second person serves. But it was more than worth the wait. read more

Hard to find, not fancy, and perhaps ready for some upgrades, the star of this place is the food. Dishes are authentic, imaginative, and varied, with an almost overwhelming selection. The owner is on the premises, and service is fast, efficient, and friendly. Dishes are beautifully prepared and presented. There is a limited selection of wine and beer. But, go for the food. Best authentic Chinese cuisine in the city. read more

We had a great experience at this restaurant! Partly because the food and service were both great and also because there was a large birthday party happening and they wrapped us into their fold, feeding us amazing deserts. read more

I've had Tsingtao in my bookmarks for approximately 5 years! We finally made a plan to go dine in over the long weekend and I am SO GLAD we did. We had a really enjoyable experience and look forward to trying everything on the menu. I had a million questions prior to arriving when noticing that the Yelp reviews were alllllll over the place. Menu: classic, delicious Szechuan dishes and Americanized additions to accomodate all palates. HUGE menu with tons of options made it hard to decide - beef, pork, veggie, chicken, seafood, and noodle dishes galore. We went with the Singapore Mei Fun, Beef broccoli, fried dumplings, and scallion pancakes. Everything was perfect. The mei fun had shrimp, egg, chicken, and a LIGHTLY spicy sauce. Would order that again any day. Beef broccoli is super fresh and tender, served in tasty strips, not the usual tough hunks you get elsewhere. Tea is served upon arrival and we were SO excited to round out the meal with fresh tasty watermelon before paying our check. All of our food cost $45 with tip, an absolute steal considering we had lunch for two more days. Serve staff here is incredible and provided all of the details we needed to have an awesome experience. No alcohol on the menu, and I did see a party BYOB, though I would call and double check and ask. I can't wait to make this a regular in my rotation! Tsingtao is still a must-stop even if ownership and menu has changed. Big note: the delicious looking Bao that's their cover image is no more. :( Happy dining! read more

Food tasted absolutely awesome! With that the service was extremely very fast! Location was clean and spacious!

Might go to for Chinese takeout in the city of Rochester. Definitely a lot better than other places in town. Wide menu with great flavor.

Oh em gee!! I normally don't eat at too many Chinese restaurants because I'm very picky and prefer authentic dishes, not the fast food takeout. Tsingtao house is exactly what I've been looking for! The flavors were so pleasing to my taste buds and the visual colors excited my eyes. I went for sit down dinner on Lunar New Year (Covid style), so they were VERY backed up. Completely understandable and the hostess did warn me upfront that it would be quite a wait. I didn't mind, because I really wanted to try the food in the spirit of the holiday and celebration. Soups came out first and my goodness the shrimp wonton soup was SO good! Very big bowl portions. One order was enough to share with at least three people! Entrees were equally flavorful and delicious. I'll be bringing my mother in to try this place since she's always on the lookout for authentic places like me. read more

Been looking for a good duck dish for lunch. I was in Henrietta, googled that and this place showed up. 4 stars so I'm thinking ok great. Well the only duck they do is Peking for 60 bucks, that's a no for lunch.. I ordered hot and sour soup, crispy salt and pepper squid, and a. Specially lamb lunch dish( I used to raise sheep, lamp is one of my favorite proteins) the soup had nothing but tofu , no scallion, no veg , just a corn starch slurry and nothing. The squid was big chunks of over battered tasteless pile, no kind of dipping sauce. The lamb, if that's what it was , could have been beef, pork?? Was oily with no flavor. So yeah sorry it's a no for me. The staff was very charming but it's a solid no! read more

So happy they do delivery now on Yelp via Grubhub. I have always loved this restaurant but had to try out their lunch specials. I like variety in my Chinese food dishes so I went with the sour mustard pork intestines, sautéed fish with vegetables and the beef chow fun noodles. Can't beat the price for $9.84 each and each of the specials comes with a side of white rice and hot and sour soup. What was even nice of them was the restaurant even called me after the delivery had gotten here to let me know they had forgotten the white rice with my orders since they were so busy so one of their restaurant staff personally dropped it off herself and was very apologetic. All-star service and thank-you Tsingtao house. My stomach is full and satisfied and the dishes were perfect, exactly what I needed to satisfy my Chinese food cravings. Also plenty left over for leftovers! read more

Tsing Tao is a staple in the Rochester community for family-style authentic Chinese cooking. I've been coming here for years as a college student. I love how affordable it is and the cooking that tastes like home. The portions are very generous, and meant to be shared. I often have enough left over for another meal! The owner is very kind and service is quick. This restaurant is one of my favorites in Rochester and I frequently ate here since I enjoyed it so much! Definitely one of the most authentic Chinese restaurants in the area. read more

One of my favorite authentic Chinese spots in Rochester! The service is quick and the food is well portioned for the price. The interior also feels cozy, and they're generally busier on the weekends but it's worth it read more

Went there on Thanksgiving night. Food is served very quickly, or maybe too quickly. Because we can see the oil is still dripping on deep fried food. I am Chinese and the food quality is just so so. There is a line of people waiting and we are "gently" asked to leave before we finished eating. read more

The food is amazing. Very authentic Chinese food. My wife had the chicken feet. And Hunan pork. I had the Hunan chicken. My son had beef and noodles. And the scallion pancakes. I price was reasonable. They have weekly $100 lunch specials. This place was recommended by a local.We looked at it from the outside and would not have normally come in. It is attached to a pawn shop. But inside it looks like a Chinese restaurant. The size of the portions are amazing and the service is great. We will come back read more

I'm still here, having just finished my meal of Tofu Hopot and chilied cucumbers. I shared some of the wife's MA po tofu extra spicey. They added a scotch bonnet pepper which gave a nice fruity hot flavor. Wow. The flavors were wonderful. Too bad I've moved to Pittsburgh and I come to Rochester to visit. As Arnie says: I'll be back. read more

The service is bad, we went and waited for 30 minutes waiting for them to clean the table and they didn't even came to give us menus.

4.5! It's so good! Highly reccomend the Walnut Shrimp, Beef and Broccoli, and the orange chicken! The orange chicken is made with real oranges and it's wild to me. .5 is sometimes the quality fluctuates if they are really busy but literally, so good! read more

3.5 STARS BUT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO GIVE HALF STAR. Had the pleasure of coming here a few months back and just got around to leaving a review. The restaurant is very east to miss if you weren't looking for it. When you go in, the dining room is on the smaller side and almost looking like a small cafeteria. The place could definitely use a good cleaning and dusting. The good news is, the food is great! I went here with my boyfriend and we ended up getting the whole steamed Halibut and two bowls of beef noodle soup. The food took a while to come out, but the restaurant was packed so it was understandable. The Halibut was the highlight of the meal. Delicious and fragrant; It was full of flavor. The spicy noodle soups were tasty and came in a large bowl so the portions were good. The prices were a bit expensive for select dishes, and I didn't feel like the service was that great. This place looks like a local favorite for traditional Cantonese food and a lot of the customers seemed to be regulars. It's always a good sign when the people coming in to eat speak in the same language as the people serving the food. All in all, the food was delicious and had large portions. The service was mediocre and slow. However I enjoyed the food so much that I didn't honestly care too much about the wait time in the end. read more

What a gem! A pretty small and unassuming place from the outside, I am really glad I gave this place a try. Tried the special sour mustard boil fish, a seafood combination hotpot, and a beef noodle stew. The fish was delicious! Spicy, tender pieces of fish with mustard greens that soak up all the flavor of the goodness. I also really liked the beef stew; it was not what I expected look-wise (not the most beautiful presentation, but that's not what I'm there for) but it was delicious! The seafood clay pot was as expected, not a standout from most places but I do really like the mushroom slices they had in there. I will definitely be back to try out the other dishes! read more

Just go-fresh-excellent. Finally, we have found our go to Chinese restaurant that has exceptional food.

The food here is more authentic than most other Chinese restaurants in Rochester. There are some American Chinese dishes as well. The food is well and quickly prepared. There is beer and soda for drinks. The service is quick and excellent, and prices are reasonable. The lunch menu includes several of the main menu items for reduced price and portion, that portion being more than enough, and well worth the ten dollars it cost. As far as ambiance, this a small, but adequately sized space that is clean and neat. read more

Amazing! Our go to Chinese spot after going here recently. Friendly and pleasant staff. We had a scallion pancake and pork buns for an appetizer. Both great but the pork buns really stood out for me. Nice blend of fat and lean meat with a delicious herby sauce. We decided on the cashew chicken and "spice bean chicken" for our entrees. Both delicious and came with white rice. read more

My favorite place to eat I have never had a bad meal here try everything you can and be adventurous

The fact that this place is kinda hole in the wall-ish, tucked in some alley between the tai chi tea place and some other store fronts is already a bonus for me, oh and then you see a lot of Chinese people as soon as you walk in and hear mostly Chinese language, makes me feel like this place is promising in authenticity and flavor. I would say, overall, i was pleasantly surprised as I expected too bland food or too immature sauces/brewing. We ordered the dumplings, chicken and potato casserole, and eggplant. The good thing is, everything was pretty authentic- a little more oily and saucy than what is considered truly authentic, but I'll take it. I'm a little far from Philadelphia's Dim Sum Garden and NYC's Flushing China town, so I really got little options and this was pretty good! Eggplant: Any eggplant dish is always gonna be oily if you're gonna eat out. So watch out. Eat this dish with lots of rice, that or squeeze out your sauce/oil with your spoon against the plate. This dish was correctly flavored and not too thin in complexity- that is, the chef did not skimp on an ingredient- a very mature and good sauce, albeit being a little oily. Now, if only this eggplant had been cooked with salt ahead of time before the sauce was cooked over it, the inside of the eggpalnt was soft but not as well salted inside so the salt stayed on the outside of the eggplant in the sauce. Otherwise a pretty good dish. 13.99$ Chicken and Potato Casserole- Ok, so a Chinese casserole is not a baked dish with pasta and cheese and ground meat in it... it's usually a nicely stewed very nicely layered dish. This is usually meat that has been stewing and brewing for hours to get a super tender and well marinated dish. This chicken was tender like a fish- we were surprised it was chicken! My only thing about this dish is... the potatoes were probably cooked separately and then dumped int this dish with the chicken which is a pity b/c the potatoes were too hard and undercooked and not as flavorful. 15.99$ Dumplings- definitey not your taken out of the freezer made by a machine kind of get up. This was one of those hand rolled flour with some Chinese auntie skilfully doling out a perfect spoon of well marinated, mixed pork veggie into the center of the wrapper and then quickly deftly pinching it shut. It was fried on top of a corn starch and water combination to achieve a crispy bottom. Well done. Reminds me of Flushing, NY in those skilled hard to find dumpling makers we dont see anymore in modern restaurants. 8.99$ for fried 10 pieces, 12 pieces steamed. I'll definitely be back more. Price is reasonable and flavors were authentic and mature enough. read more
