Seeing a pretty mixed bag of reviews for Woodside Kitchen, so here's my take based on a recent visit. I had been craving Chinese takeout and ended up stopping by Woodside Kitchen since I was already in the area. It's a Fuzhounese-owned spot, like many takeout places around this country, and while I was there my sister went on about how places like this are slowly declining as younger Fuzhounese generations move into more corporate jobs. I ordered the General Tso's chicken combination platter, and honestly, the chicken was some of the best I've had from a takeout spot. It was tender, soft, and the best part was that there was actually more chicken than rice. The egg roll was crunchy, flavorful, and not greasy at all. I paid $11.50, even though the menu still said $10.50 and definitely needs updating, but for the portion size, I had no regrets. It was a huge amount of food and easily could have lasted me three meals. 5/5. read more

Best chinese chicken wings in NYC!!! This is a must place to go when visiting NYC. Everything here is good. They even cooked so quickly, you don't have to wait too long. The place is spacious with lots of tables and chairs. read more

When breading is more than chicken. I recently ordered a small Ora'nge chicken expecting at least a decent amount of chicken for 10 dollars Unfortunately I believe she misheard me and gave me an orange bread with rice instead. I don't normally do comments on yelp but this one is crazy. And I love Chinese food read more

Woodside Kitchen - a tray of fried chicken and rice - Chinese Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

I tried the general tso's chicken and the lo mein meals from here, and both were really delicious! They were served piping hot and took a couple minutes to cool down and be ready to eat. The family that owns the store here is very kind and welcoming. While I was sitting down with my meal, there was an elderly lady there who seemed to be a regular who didn't have enough money for hers, and the owner just told her that she could pay her back next time. read more

Woodside Kitchen - C17. General Tso's Chicken Combo Platter - Chinese Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

It was my first time ordering from this Chinese restaurant and I REALLY enjoyed my meal. I had an order of steamed chicken with vegetables and garlic sauce on the side and an order of beef chow fun. The chicken tasted clean as did the vegetables and there were plenty of both. The beef chow fun was REALLY great; the oodles of noodles and slices of beef tasted homemade and not doused in MSG like other Chinese restaurants would their food. Aside from the noodles and beef being very flavorful, an important thing to note is that the beef was of good quality, which again, is not common with most Chinese restaurants. I will definitely be ordering from here again the next time I have Chinese cravings! read more

I order from here everytime I go to my besties house which is pretty often, it's been at least 10 years. So I got rib tips I saw something funny on it so I was trying to remove it and there it was a ROACH. That is so disgusting and they were apologetic and refunded us the money but that should have never happened in the first place Never will I ever eat there again . Sorry woodside you fucked up tremendously. read more

I have order delivery from woodside kitchen and I think it is okay. The food I have order is BBQ pork on fried rice with cheese stick. The cheese stick was okay, just like regular cheese stick that is sort of slightly crunchy and soft from the inside. The BBQ pork on fried rice was ehhh. Not that bad , still have the tase of the sweet and roast, but the quality was not high expectation. The meat was a little hard, not tender at all. But the taste was okay, not really bad. What I am really glad about it is the fast delivery from a big rainy day. I was at home hungry, and reluctant to go out from the massive rain, so i have order delivery. The service was fast, it say about 50min, but the delivery guy came less than 30min. The delivery guy was nice, he chat alittle with me outside the door talking about the weather and the business operations. Very friendly and patient. Food was average, because the taste are still there, just the meat are alittle overcooked. But not a bad place. read more

I came here with my friend and ordered young Chou fried rice. It was more flavorful than most of the other Chinese restaurants I've went to. The portion was good and the overall experience was excellent. read more

I orders the general taso chicken, egg rolls,some dumplings. The chicken was hard and tastes old and was like warm and gave me the worst heartburn. The egg rolls were horrible. Bad food!!!! I will never order from them again! read more

Omg. This place needs a health inspection!! Not only does this place looks dirty but just ordered a spring roll and the cashier called to the cook for a spring roll and he walked into the fridge and grab a spring roll with his bare hand without any gloves. read more

45 minutes pass, still no food. I call and the lady tells me the delivery guy is almost here. 1 hour now and my food still has not arrived. I call again and she tells me he's leaving now. I canceled my order and she STILL sends the delivery guy after I've just finish cooking my own dinner. I'd give them 0 stars if I could. read more

Woodside Kitchen is your typical NYC Chinese take-out spot. It has been around a while and has recently changed hands. Since doing so, the taste and quality have dwindled a bit... but not to the point that I'll go elsewhere (for now). read more

High quality dishes with cheap price,and delicious,their menu is rich,the chef in that restaurant is well trained,I enjoy very much trying all their dishes . read more

Ordered about x3 during this pandemic. First time food wasn't that fresh, tasted okay, but the 2nd and 3rd time when we ordered this month, the food was fresh, hot, and super early on time. Our local joint nearby closed down so having take out Chinese food again is a nice comfort during these times. read more

Extremely decent chinese food at a cheap price. Good service and cusine! Decent food considering it is not a five star restaurant from the Manhattan in Queens. Been eating here for many years. read more

Good take-out place. Fast, friendly and efficient. Large size and reasonable price. Their rice is among the best I have had in American Chinese restaurants. read more

So I went in before reading the reviews and then my skepticism kicks in. Well, I ordered from the lunch menu. Hot and Sour soup along with chicken and broccoli. Do not see why so many people are giving this take-out place bad reviews. What you people expect? Manhattan 5 star quality? Get real! Its Queens and its take out. Food is ok. Soup was great. Portions and price are propotionately reasonable. But I guess the best time to get food here is as early as possible because thats when you have a better chance of getting good food. read more

My go to place for chinese delivery. Fast and efficient. The taste is also good compared to the other take out places in the area. I also love that they have chicken nuggets on their menu. Some places do not. However some times i order fried scallops and they serve it with mayo instead of tartar sauce. Im sure its just because they ran out. But thats a no no. At least inform me that i will be getting mayo instead of tartar read more

This place was one of our go to takeout places, but not after today. We ordered dragon and phoenix and house special chow fun. Once we opened our food, we knew there was something wrong with dragon and phoenix. For Dragon and phoenix the sauces were completely off. Last time, the one with the shrimp was in a thick red sauce, which was replaced by a white sauce (if you can even call it that) and the taste... Let's just say, we didn't finish it. I called to verify if they sent the right order in, the girl on the phone immediately started to give excuses, their chef whom she says didn't change, didn't put enough ketchup in the sauce. EXCUSE ME? this sauce can't be salvaged with ketchup. Since she kept on repeating that the chef didn't change and the problem was lack of ketchup, i just hung up and vowed never to order from them again. If you catch the right chef, the place is a solid 4 stars. if not, then i'd give it a 1 star just based on the food. read more

Don't waste your money on this filthy inconsistent toilet. pathetic food, filthy kitchen. asked for extra sauce on my pork broccoli last night the chef added extra water, yes plenty of water. I mean come on if you're going home if, its late, just tell the customer. why you gotta ruin someone's meal for the full price. been ordering from here for a long time but that's it no more. try Maxim's kitchen OR East 21. read more

Chicken wings and fries . I always order delivery once a week from here and i just love it.

Used to be my family's favorite take out Chinese restaurant for almost 8 years. And then something disgusting happened! We ordered sesame chicken for delivery and found bandaid in the battered chicken! Sooooo grossss!!! Never ordering ever again because of that disgusting experience :( read more

Standard Chinese takeout- Chicken Lo mien and Beef and broccoli is good. Large portion, always filling

This is a typical Chinese restaurant, ideal for delivery and for quick eats. They have a pretty extensive menu, and the prices are pretty good. I recommend one of the combination platters, e.g. Chicken and Broccoli. The staff is friendly and the food is prepared quickly. The interior is rather run-down but it's pleasant enough. read more

Amazing food, the best I've found in the area. The noodles are flavorful without being overly salty and the rice was clearly fresh, not dried out the way Chinese takeout can be sometimes. We ordered the small General Tso's chicken, and it was a pretty big portion, and it was perfectly crispy with not too much sauce. Will definitely be ordering from here again! read more

Noodles over cooked and no taste. Pork chop is burned. I also ordered sweet and sour and the sauce is mixed with ALOT of water. They also mixed the pork chop I ordered with newly cooked and old ones. First and last time eating here. read more

Ordered over $55 worth of food for five people plus a generous tip and asked for extra napkins, five sets of chopsticks and the free sodas advertised on their site http://www.woodsidekitchenelmhurst.com/specials.aspx. They sent plastic forks, no chopsticks, no sodas and no napkins, none! And the special instructions were printed on the order which was stapled to the bag! Which means they read them and ignored them. Lousy service, insulting and disrespectful. The food is mediocre. Just not worth it. Will not order from there again. read more

standard takeout chinese food. delivery was quick. big, tasty portions. i had the chicken with broccoli over rice, and it was pretty good. the sizes were big enough to last me for lunch and dinner. Certainly not the best though...I've had better Chinese in flushing. read more
