At one time this was a great restaurant don't know what happened fried rice was Awful Chicken broccoli and the chicken was very tough Egg roll very greasy and it was the last times not going back read more

Ok food. It's Very pricey. If you eat in restaurant, the place needs updating. Soup is good.

,texture of chicken is bizarre and I don't trust it Very boring flavor and no one in place at peak hour read more

I have been a fan since 1993 when my parents moved to Delray Beach. They would take me here when I'd visit. I moved to the area a few years later and when not joining my parents, I would grab takeout from time to time. 29 years later, my mom has passed and I'm picking up my Dad's favorite dish, "Happy Family," to take to him at his assisted living apartment. Great soup. I'll get some Chow Fun, Orange Chicken and/or House Special Lo Mein for the rest of us. yum. Judy has been the proprietress since we began going to Birds Nest and is still welcoming us at the door. read more

Sat down at 6:30, soup came at 7:15, walked out at 7:40 after watching the lady at the table by us, feed her dog on the table. That was all she wrote. Never again. read more

It gives no comfort to write this but, certain things should not go unnoticed. This restaurant was referred to my wife and me upon a visit to Delray Beach, FL. The food was quite good until we got to the pork egg foo young. It goes without saying that it is a leap of faith to trust another's cooking and when that trust has been violated it leaves no choice but, dissent. Lo and behold a bug of undetermined species made its presence in our egg foo young. I pushed it aside, paid the check and tip and we left the establishment. Probably the only time this has happened but once is too often. I guess, vigilance in the kitchen is the price cleanliness. Disconsolate read more

Garbage! Lo mein was cooked in a burt something that's all I could taste, fried rice was slimey and weird texture, honey garlicky chicken was so soggy the breading wouldn't stay on it, and the hot and sour soop was decent (the best of the gross food) and it was only a small container. read more

Been everywhere else in the area except for Bird Nest Tree! I do recall picking up a pint of wonton egg drop soup one evening. Well today, we decided to give their take -out a try! Ordered scallion pancakes, Hawaiin duck, mixed vegetables and they threw in two egg rolls. The pancakes were plentiful and crispy! The duck was crispy and the sweet n' sour sauce was tasty! The mixed vegetables that were borderline steamed had just the right amount of crunch without putting them in micro or oven to soften them! And the free egg rolls were bland and tasteless filled with just cabbage! Next time, I'll ask for their vegetable rolls! Guess, there will be a next time since the overall meal was somewhat of a hit !Even the rice was smooth and the noodles were crunchy and flavorful too! A OK read more

Went because the ladies at our pool raved about it! Our server Jackson was really helpful. Recommended flat noodles with beef and fried rice. Was so much I brought leftovers to my husband. Very good!! read more

Not going to lie, I was very skeptical about coming here because of all the bad reviews. I'm not big on writing reviews but I felt I should, to give them some good credit. I placed an order for pick up for chicken lo mein and egg drop soup. I really don't have one complaint about my order. The lo mein was full of flavor, not greasy, and had a generous amount of chicken and vegetables. The egg drop soup was delicious as well. I will definitely order from them again! read more

Bird Nest Tree - Chicken Lo mein & Egg drop soup - Chinese Near Me - Delray Beach, Florida

Been enjoying Birds Nest since 1994. The best Wonton soup around. Our favorite dish is called Happy Family. Similar to Family Happiness but with beef, not pork. Great Lo Mein and the basics like chow fun or tofu w veggies are delicious. Judy has been the owner as long as I have been going there, and she greets her long-time customers with true affection. read more

First time - we decided to give it a try. SO disappointed. Soggy food. Wilted, not crispy vegetables. No flavor. We will keep looking for decent Chinese food in Delray Beach. read more

went there Christmas Eve Service was very slow and food was cold. First time we experienced this

I usually like this place, but tonight Christmas night it is a total ripoff. They do not have their regular menu tonight but have a special holiday menu where everything is either double or triple the price, plus they want to charge $9.00 a person to share a $36 plate. Never again. They have lost a customer. read more

Everything was delicious. We have tried every Chinese restaurant in the area and this was our favorite so far. Closest to NY food.

We enjoyed barbecue spare ribs, pepper steak and shrimp with mixed vegetables. Excellent service and food was very fresh and tasty. We spiced it up a bit with hot sauce. Spare ribs were big and very nicely prepared. Will definitely return. read more

Really bad and very disappointing! My third time ordering from Bird Nest Tree in Delray and never again. The first two times were alright. Nothing was too bad and I was mostly pleased, except for the 4.5 hr delivery time on New Years Eve when they took my order/money without notifying me of the delayed delivery until three hrs after it was placed. My order was placed online and they never answered the telephone during that time period either. Today's order included the Hawaiin Duck for $20. It was breaded and deep fried. This was the worst duck dish I've ever had, and the owners should be ashamed that it came out of their kitchen. Disgustingly greasy and the duck was terrible. It was not edible! I ordered the pork rib ends and it was obvious that the order consisted of pieces from two different pieces of pork. Half the order was red hued pork and half was brown. Not a good looking brown either. The different colored pieces tasted very different and had a different consistency. The scallion pancakes were horribly greasy and had no scallion flavor. The duck and scallion pancakes went right in the garbage after two bites of each. The container with the rib ends was only 3/4 filled. I ate about 1/3 of the rib ends and tossed the rest. I wouldn't have given any of it to my dog. I had the vegetable Lo Mein which was alright. So essentially, I paid over $60 for a plate of Lo Mein, some average rib ends and a few fortune cookies. Lazy cooking! Whoever is cooking their food simply doesn't care and that's a shame. I would accept a refund, which I certainly deserve but certainly not a credit because I wouldn't eat their food again. read more

Food was overly salty & tasted horrible yesterday on Christmas Day. The prices were almost double & the server demanded more of a tip l. She was disrespectful & condescending. I have visited this restaurant several times in the past, and now they have lost my repeat business. read more

We had a wonderful dinner here two days ago after a recommendation from a friend. We both had combination dinners. The egg rolls were fresh and crispy and the the won ton soup was excellent. My pork lo mein was delicious with lots of nice chunks of pork. My husband had the cashew chicken and it was great too. Everything was fresh and well prepared. I haven't had Chinese food this good since I moved from NJ 30 years ago. The server was polite and service was prompt. We will be going back sooner rather than later. I definitely recommend. read more

We were pleasantly surprised. Given some of the reviews, we were skeptical; however, the food was great and service great, albeit they were short staffed as every business is since covid. Even though short staffed, the servers did an amazing job - funny, polite, and we had our hot tea and soup before ordering - smart to anticipate part of our order to keep the dining room rolling. There wasn't an empty seat halfway through our meal, and a line waiting outside as we left. That should tell enough story. Now that I read some of the reviews that were poor, I understand exactly what the issues were about... typical prima donna snowbirds that expect exclusive attention, but can't afford the Capital Grill, Morton's or NY Prime. You know the type... they think they are food critics at exclusive restaurants, and probably tip lousy - it's an unfortunate aspect of Yelp allowing any clown to review a business. In fact, the table next to us had such a critic that I'm pretty sure was an only child growing up (using grow up loosely). Anyway, bravo to this small business to persevere and provide great food and a pleasant experience. And thank you to our waiter Jackson - you were a machine handling the volume and a true pleasure. read more

This is one of the WORST Chinese restaurants around. Bird Nest Tree is a left over from the old days yet it's prices are quite up to date. Silverware was dirty and had to be replaced. The soup was only wam and not hot. Very standard and forgettable. The Beef Szechuan I ordered could NOT be eaten. The meat was just like rubber and could not chewed. Veggies were soft and tasteless. The sauce was like glue. Yes, it was THAT terrible. The egg roll was over fired and tasted like a cracker. I left the food uneaten and went to pay the bill. I had to wait for the cashier who was involved in a loud argument about a food problem with a take out order. The Bird Nest Tree is to BE AVOIDED. read more

Terrible customer service by owners. Will never go back. Food is not as good anymore anyway.

Food was mediocre. Old lady was nasty. I will not go back. I still got charged for the food that I returned.

Wonderful food, generous portions and very tasty. I would have given 5 stars however the delivery was slow. However, we are never disappointed with the food! Please consider using door dash as we have several holiday guests and made multiple orders at the same time. Door dash got here 35 minutes faster! read more

Because you're too cheap to accept Amex you just lost a customer that would spend over $35 per order once a week. Bubye!

How incredibly disappointing. I finally found a restaurant with New York quality Chinese food. I placed an order they said it would be there in a half hour. An hour goes by and I call. She tells me it's out with the driver. The drive between the restaurants at my home is 8 minutes. 25 minutes later I call again. She tells me it's out with the driver and the driver was supposed to call me. I give it a little more time. Then I call back and tell her to cancel my order. She tries telling me that my food is still out with the driver. Either she lied the first two times that my food was out with the driver or.... My food was in the car with the driver for 45 minutes without having been delivered. I don't think I want that food. They would have been better off if they told me the truth up front about their timeline and how busy they were. I don't think I'll be doing business with them again read more

Greasy food and VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE! I was willing to give them another chance because I didn't want to try a new place, and that was my only mistake. They didn't have a driver to deliver my food, how is that possible? When I called to find out where my delivery was, they blamed ME for the problem because I ordered through a 3rd party. No, I placed an order online on THEIR website. I didn't even know I was going through a 3rd party. Even so, why was that MY problem to solve? They were very rude and refused to cancel my order when they didn't have a driver. Not acceptable. Now Oh, and $11.95 for vegetable fried rice??? Ripoff, go somewhere else. read more

Every Chinese restaurant in Delray Beach gives you some kind of made up version of roast pork fried rice where the rice is actually steamed in soy sauce. I finally found a place that makes the real Roast pork fried rice. My son called in an order for pick up for each of us and it was absolutely delicious. We will be your steady customers going forward. Your fried rice tasted just like the one made in New York. Don't wait for picking up food was very long but it was well worth it. Thank you so much and your food was delicious! read more

We normally do takeout. The shrimp and lobster sauce soups eggrolls and pork spareribs are really excellent. Unfortunately the prices have gone way up with all the other food. read more

I ate here with two friends a few days ago and the service was outstanding. I just wish the food was better. We were served crispy fresh made noodles, lots of duck sauce & a pot of hot tea. The wonton soup was ok and the egg rolls were small and dry. Some entrees were more successful than others. Chicken lo mein was ok, cashew shrimp was good and spare ribs were terrific. The fried rice was dry and salty. Dessert was included and we all enjoyed our ice cream. In my opinion this is not the worst place in the area, but there are better. read more

Horrible food. The most unfriendly wait staff. Dirty menus thrown on the table. Customer service was nonexistent. Hostess/owner never smiled or greeted us. Will never go back. read more

NEVER GOING BACK! Food was ok, wait time ridiculous, male manager was loudly belittling female staff member and then same male staff member accosted us at the door, waving receipt in my face demanding higher tip. Stating it is required that he receive 20-25% tip. He was threatening and belligerent. Felt unsafe as it was just us (females) left in restaurant, no one around, dark outside and he was getting frightening in his behavior. Would NEVER go back. read more

The takeout service is horrible. We'll see about the food if I ever get it! I even tipped on my CC for takeout order, wish I could take it back.Update: they forgot part of the order. Wonderful, now I wait even longer! read more

We ate at the nest tonight. The food was very good, the combination plate was a substantial dinner and desert- pepper steak was tasty, vegetables fresh and the pineapple chicken was good too! The service was excellent- friendly and efficient. Lastly- it must be noted regarding the patrons-most of them left the nest LONG ago!! Enjoy good Chinese food at Bird Nest!! read more

Not very happy. Granted it was Sunday night when lots of people want chinese food but the gentleman who served us was inattentive to the point of being rude. He seemed in a huge hurry. Didn't pay attention to our order. Rushed us when my wife ordered steamed chicken and vegetables, a dish she has had many times before here, he refused and sad order from the medium. He brought fried rice when we wanted white and never bothered to ask us. Overall a hurried nd disappointing experience. read more

We have eaten here for nearly 20 years and the quality has consistently gone downhill. Tonight's dinner will be the last. I ordered shrimp Egg Foo Yung. My husband had some as well. About every third bite, we tasted something rotten in the ingredients. It even smelled like they had mixed in some shrimp that were past their prime. Both of us spent the night in the bathroom. read more

I stopped in here to try a few basics. Everything was okay, but it could have been a lot better. Please read this review to the end. The wonton soup was very salty, at least the broth was. The wontons themselves tasted okay. Not good but just okay. I ate it if that means anything. I usually throw food away when I don't like it. The pork fried rice was disappointing. The chicken chow mein wound up in the garbage. Everything I tasted was just sad. The boneless ribs were blah. The ribs were tough and hard to chew. Most of boneless ribs also went in the garbage. Two stars because they were very nice to me and the food really wasn't terrible. I'm very picky, especially when it comes to Chinese food~so would you really expect anything else from a NY transplant? *** Negative or positive, I always appreciate feedback on my reviews. I always try to write fairly, especially on something that I am extremely picky about~for example my multiple bagel reviews. In fact some may call me a bagel monster (wink, wink Sean), lol. I'm from the Island (yes, I know you all know this) and I grew up eating the very best. I'm also in NY enough to get my "fix", so that is what I compare Florida Chinese too. When two friends (both Gold Elites who I respect & admire) tell me this should be a one star review, I listen. I want & can handle constructive criticism. My friends are correct & this review probably should be one star. If my review was not about Chinese food, bagels or pizza; then without a doubt I would have given a one star rating. Most of the other reviews are good, the people were nice to me & I am overly critical of Chinese food to begin with. I love you guys & constructive criticism will only help me become a better reviewer & Yelper, so please keep it coming.*** read more

We went with an elderly relative. They have a lobster special ($20ish). I ordered lobster Cantonese style in a mis-guided burst of nostalgia for the Chinese food of my youth. I soon realized I should have stuck with the steamed kind. The menus were greasy, the fried wantons were way to big and thick and tasteless. My hubby barely ate any of his food. Mediocre at best read more

The food is often good and they have a very affordable lunch special. The restaurant at night is often crowded, while lunch time it's relatively slow. It is my experience the staff, while not rude, is less than friendly. Today they opened 10 minutes late, unlocking the door, but not opening the door, it was plain we were standing outside. Perhaps this is cultural thing, i found it unprofessional. Service was erratic, soup delivered, then drinks were taken. Our order arrived faster than we could finish the appetizers. It may seem these are petty complaints, at the same time we are in an age where poor service is more the norm, therefore one cannot give a four or a five when eating in should also include friendly service, orderly delivery to the table and an attitude making one feel welcomed in bringing to them your business. read more

I have been looking for a great Sub Gum Chicken Combo platter! I saw how busy they were on a Sat Night, so I got it to go. It took all of 10 minutes and the Service was great! They charged me $12.04 and gave me all the perks. There was a Table of 10 that each left a $2 Tip. I felt so bad for the Servers, it was a huge insult! The Food was superb and the Service Outstanding! I have found my new favorite Chinese Restaurant! Thanks for you Great Services. It was my pleasure to find you. I am so glad I did! read more
