"On March 8th, we went for a walk, and at Chosen Garden restaurant, I ordered a dessert. After dinner, I started feeling very nauseous; I got food poisoning. I found out that they do not make the cake themselves; they buy it, and it's unclear when it was purchased. Although it looked normal, it was not fresh inside. I do not recommend this restaurant anymore." read more

Best Chinese restaurant period. Best pupu platter. Have eaten there many times, and never been disappointed.

The food is well prepared and tasty. The restaurant needs some updating and the staff is overworked.

Food is great service is impeccable you just can't say anything bad about this place I love their sesame chicken

This is one of forest hills best Chinese restaurants by far .it may cost a little bit more but it is worth it .plus it is a kosher Chinese restaurant. There food has a distinguish taste to it that separates it self from the rest of the Chinese restaurants. Not only in queens but other kosher Chinese restaurants in general. There duck and chicken fried rice with their spring rolls. Great dish over there for a decent price. They give you a nice portion of food. You have to try their kosher sushi great flavor we can't leave that out My favorite is the sesame chicken and chicken fried rice with broccoli nice taste to it yum and made just right. To keep you coming back for more. Why not if you are enjoying it. So if you want to eat in the ambiance is pretty nice for you to enjoy dining in .so taking your order to go or eating in .it is good ether way.i would definitely go back there in the future read more

Food taste very good but I wouldn't recommend to go for date.

This is the reason why, I wouldn't recommend for date. It looks to me more family place. read more

ChoSen Garden - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

I'm sorry I accidentally placed on the automatic questioner that this place do delivery. This place does NOT DELIVER. Kosher, Chinese restaurant. Now, not my favorite spot to go. The food doesn't taste great. Service, ahh so so. You have to wait for a long time for a waitress to serve you, although you are ready to order food. This place been around for a few decades and they have build their clientele from the past. They don't cherish there costumers as other places do. I go here only for if I have to go for a friends party or special invite. read more

Food is great however the the staff not so my wife and I have been customer for years

Chosen Garden was certainly NOT an impressive restaurant .. it was most definitely not up to par with Chosen Island (in the 5-towns). The scenery was certainly spacious, but could potentially be crowded depending on where you sat. Surprisingly, many decided to dine here anyway. Though, when it comes to customer service, this place DOES NOT cut it !!! My girlfriend and I ordered the dinner special-- recommended by our waiter. The food quality was just barely average for their outrageous prices. Portion sizes were noticeably very small too. I am quite shocked with the overall high reviews. Do standards exist anymore? Admittedly, the scene was quite lively and the lighting was done well, but the food is no better than a mediocre kosher Chinese restaurant. I guess it's the illusion of serving average food on a plate in a well-decorated area that somehow allows the food to be better than it is ,,, and kosher restaurants always have horrendous standards. Mark would let out a slight chuckle. It's not often that I have a BAD experience with a restaurant. I did with "Cho-Sen Garden". After the check came, I paid and left a 15% tip. The waiter (with a monkey vest) comes over to pick up the check and then hovers over my girlfriend and me for a good 30 seconds and tells me that I didn't give a good enough tip. He demanded an 18% tip instead, and then proceeds to tell me that I should only do what I want. He never refilled our water once. Really??? OK. I tipped the 18%, called up AMEX and I wasn't held responsible for the charge. To "Cho-Sen Garden": Congrats on your wonderful staff. Don't expect our tips to pay the salary of your employees. Make sure to hire those who won't harass the customers. Also either lower your prices for average food or hire a real chef. 1.35/5.00 read more

The Kosher Chinese food here ain't bad but slightly overpriced. And whatever you may order, DO NOT order the Japanese food here..i ordered a sushi platter for delivery today and the raw salmon tastes like the cheapest quality you can find in the fish market...i have flashbacks just thinking about it!!!!!! I really hope I don't end up in the ER with food poisoning tonight !! read more

Steak of the day is so delicious! My husband and I were on the way home and he wanted to eat Chinese food so I looked on Yelp and found this place. I didn't know that this restaurant is in Jewish area so they don't have shrimp or any shellfish and my husband was hungry and didn't want to go to another place. He ordered Steak of the day instead and he likes the steak so much. read more

Luckily we made reservations because the place was packed. Food was delicious and the portions very, very generous. The service was friendly. We were surprised that our mother's food was brought about 25 minutes before they served my sister and me. And when we got our food - combination of crispy beef and chicken - the chicken was hot but the beef was barely warm. Not sure what was going on in the kitchen that they made my mother's sesame chicken so quickly then took so long to make our dishes that the meat got cool by the time the chicken was ready. We were too full to even ask about desserts so I can't comment on those. And we took home lots of leftovers for tomorrow. read more

This is probably the worst Chinese food that I ever had. It also had bad service. The place is really gloomy and just not a place where you can enjoy your food. I am not the type to write bad stuff about restaurants, but this one I can say was horrible: both food, service and the setting. read more

This once was a preferred dinner location for my family. It's really declined over the years and is just an average kosher Chinese restaurant now. Not special, just overpriced. read more

My family and i went for dinner on Saturday night. The restaurant had families and young couples. The service was good ( filling water and the nash stuff all the time). We had an egg roll, spring roll and soup for app. The egg roll is really big you can for shore split it for too. The other one were good too. For main course we had chicken with veg, lame with veg, sesame chicken and sechuan chicken ( medium spicy). All was reslllllly good! We couldn't finish the plate but we enjoy every bit! I tasted every meal and can say every one had a different souse which was specially good. I recommend to go there even if you are not kipping kosher. Absolutely amazing ! Would come back there for shore! They got me to wrote my first review Natalie from Israel read more

Great Food, the best Chinese food I've eaten period. More expensive than a regular Chinese spot but worth it.

This place has been here for a long time and I finally got a chance to dine in here. The customer service is good. The food came out fairly quick. Everything was amazing and tasty. Will come back read more

Honestly this place isn't special at all. It's pretty mediocre quality Chinese food. The only reason I come here is it's close to home. The waiters are always salty. The service isn't the best. The presentation is bad. Great chicken and broccoli and house special Lo-Mein though!!! Really testy and great portions. Good eats guys! read more

Very disappointed with my experience here. Food was decent in terms of sushi and soups. The orange chicken did not seem on par with what i usually expect. Service was mediocre as tables were unorganized and prepared very sloppy. They were following guidelines but the waiter demanded I leave a tip in cash when I asked if tip on card was ok, she refused. She forced me to add much more to what I had already intended on giving. I always tip regardless but when you force someone to tip you by cash which it is not a big deal but in a very forceful and demanding way, very unacceptable. Really displeased with my overall experience. read more

Your party of five walks into a kosher Chinese restaurant on a Sunday evening. It is busier than usual and a wait is expected. Your party is followed in by other parties--some larger, some smaller--which are, by turns and for reasons unapparent, seated before yours. The host does not seem able to justify this arrangement, though you notice that the other parties seem to know the staff, and your party does not. Your party is then seated. Your party's waiter takes your party's orders very quickly and says, "We will bring your soups out soon, but please be patient: the kitchen is backed up." This is a literal phrasing whose humor is lost on the waiter and does not bode well for dinner but is polite and apparently accurate. After the server leaves, you begin waiting for a very long time. In lieu of quick service, your party is given bowls of crispy noodles. Lots of bowls of crispy noodles. You do not receive the steamed dumplings you ordered because, the waiter claims later, the restaurant has run out of dumplings. Though you ordered chicken and broccoli in a white sauce, your waiter brings chicken and broccoli in a brown sauce. When you tell the waiter you did not order the chicken and broccoli in a brown sauce, his response is, "This one is better." When you say, "We're not paying for this dish. We didn't order the chicken and broccoli in a brown sauce," and then ask for the original order, your request is met with brusque frustration. You receive your moo shu vegetables with two pancakes and a veritable mountain of stir fried vegetables. When you note that the vegetable-to-pancake ratio is insensible, you are told the dinner always comes with two pancakes. When you ask for more pancakes, you are told you will be charged for them. You then wait for more pancakes for a very long time. For the duration of dinner, you will not receive the sesame chicken you ordered. When you ask about it, the waiter tells you that the restaurant has run out of chicken and that you can order something else. You laugh for a moment, but then you see that the waiter is being serious. He has claimed a Chinese restaurant filled with people many hours before closing has run out of chicken. This does not make any sense, but there is nothing to do but ask for something different. When you ask if there are any bar-b-que spare ribs, the waiter responds that, no, the restaurant has run out of those as well. You then tell the waiter to scratch the sesame chicken and the dumplings from the bill. The waiter does not exactly apologize. You are not exactly unhappy either. After all, you have now eaten four bowls of crispy noodles. The soup you ate was reasonably good. A few minutes later, you notice that another table is being served sesame chicken. You do a double take and ask your in-laws, "Is that sesame chicken at the next table over?" They confirm that, yes, it is sesame chicken. Your waiter returns and you ask, "Is that table eating sesame chicken?" The waiter then says that yes, it is sesame chicken, and tells you that you yourself did not want the sesame chicken. When you and your entire table say, "You just said that the restaurant ran out of chicken," the waiter seems confused and realizes he is revealed as a lying sack of shit. He then claims that he is under a lot of pressure and that the restaurant is very busy. You do your best not to call the man a lying sack of shit and, by some miracle, you succeed. But he is indeed a lying sack of shit, and you have every right to tell him so. You realize that, of the items you and your family ordered, a full 30% either did not arrive or were incorrectly delivered. The remaining 70% of the meal was fairly good but unconscionably expensive considering the poor service and mendacious nature of the restaurant's staff. You come to understand that you have spent some two hours at a Chinese restaurant where everyone you have interacted with is either dishonest or incompetent or both. You wonder if this is how you wished to spend your evening. You wish, in retrospect, you had called your waiter a lying sack of shit. This, for reasons unclear, seems like it might have eased the frustration of dealing with the grossly asinine experience of trying to eat a meal at the Cho-Sen Garden in Forest Hills. read more

Cho-Sen is a great kosher Chinese place located in Forest Hills. I do feel it is somewhat over-priced, but now it is the only kosher Chinese place in the area, so I will have to go there for my Chinese fix. I have to give them kuddos for making themselves kosher for Passover. My husband and I have eaten there several times, but most recently we went there on Passover & it was delicious. They created a special farfel that was like fried rice with farfel instead of rice. It was truly unique and very yummy. The kosher for Pesach General Tsos chicken was also very impressive - it tasted just as good as regular General Tsos - the sauce was so yummy and the batter was really great. The quality of the meat is also great, which is I guess why they are a little pricier than your typical Chinese restaurant. The food on regular days has also always been very good. I've tried many of their dishes and always been happy. The only dish I didn't care too much for was the sesame chicken I once ordered - simply because I felt it had too much sauce - next time I'd ask for less sauce and I'm sure I'd be completely satisfied. Sushi here is also good, as are the mixed drinks. Definitely a great place to go with friends or for a alcohol-worthy special occasion. The decor is a little washed out and needs to be updated. Additionally, this place can be very crowded at times which may be uncomfortable for some. I like to sit in the back room if possible so that you feel a bit more intimate. Definitely recommended for a delicious meal! read more

We were the first time with our friends in Cho-Sen Garden. Our friends visit this plase often and they recommended it. Food was very tasty. Service in the middle in the part "to clear the plates". Very tasty Chinese food especially when you consider that I prefer European cuisine. I know exactly - this is the first, but not my last visit to Cho-Sen Garden. My only recommendation is to improve the service of the waiters. And the food is very delicious. 4 stars only for waiter. read more

I have lived in the neighborhood since i was a little kid and have alway ate at this resturant, not once did i ever have a problem with them or the food.

Great dishes Shredded sesame chicken Chicken broccoli Shredded spicy mixed chicken Shu mo read more

Came here with the in-laws for lunch during their little stay here in NYC after a nice little venture into the city. It's not far from home, I still don't come here often because I'm not a big fan of Chinese food. But this is a great place to come with the Glatt Kosher folk which is why I gave them four stars. They are monitored by VHQ and the establishment seems pretty clean. We ordered off the lunch specials menu. They first serve you an abundance of wonton crisps with sweet and sour sauce. I began with a hot and sour soup, which I always enjoy here. For the entrees we ordered a few large dishes which came with rice and soups. We had Chicken Broccoli, Sesame Chicken (both self explanatory) and Hunan Beef, this originally came spicy but we had them make it mild, because Im not a fan of the spicy cuisine ( yet to try Indian Food) , and had plenty of veggies (my fav). This is a nice place to come for dinner as well, it's on the pricey side but it's one of the best Glatt kosher restaurants in Queens, "so spend that paypa" lol read more

This is a great place to eat. The food is fresh and is very tasty. I come here with my family pretty much every weekend. It is more on the pricer side, but hey it's kosher dinning so what do you except. read more

ChoSen Garden - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

Had my eye on this place for a while now. Nice big restaurant with plenty of seating,and cozy booths. Great menu options, little bit of everything to choose from. My husband and I ordered the hot&sour andchicken&corn soup. For the entree we went with kung pao chicken. Hot and sour soup was delicious! Actually, best I ever tasted. Cant say the same for chicken and corn. Bit too much corn flavor, just didnt taste right for me. The entree was very good. Just enough portion for two pple to share. Real pieces of chicken breast, and shitake mushrooms toped off with water chestnuts and peanuts. Very delicious. Service was very good. We were always taken care of and wait for food wasnt long at all. Honestly, great place for kosher dining. Good food and service. Next time want to try the beef spare ribs( they were out of those) and chicken with mixed veggies. My only complaint is the tiny rice bowl that comes with the dish. Just enough for one person. Maybe, its just me? Either way still coming back. Craving that hot&sour soup already! read more

I'll been coming here for years, They all know me by name, it feels good to be remembered. When I order take out the food is always ready in about 15 mins, I love the speed. When dining in I usually don't make reservations the wait is normally not so long( on the weekends could be alil longer ) It's really family friendly my kids love this place it's the favorite restaurant. read more

I don;t like Chinese food, however, I love Cho-Sen Garden. There's something about Kosher Chinese food that makes it all the better. Its not greasy, nor do you get that "after eating Chinese food" feeling. The ingredients are fresh and the servings are generous. They have some of the best dumplings and sesame chicken I have tasted, and their scallion pan fried pizza, is out of this world! read more

Fantastic chinese food. We ordered takeout, and I've never had chicken and broccoli that was so fresh, tender, juicy, and tasty. And the pieces of chicken were gigantic compared to other chinese joints. Everything tasted like it was home made and prepared well and not in a "fast food" sort of way. But for that and dumplings (which were equally huge) it was $28. I'd say that's a lot for Chinese food. I will definitely return, but maybe not anytime soon. But again, the food was great. read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would! Not only was the food bland, tasteless and taste like dirty dish water(I'm sorry, crispy beef does not taste like that). The waiter was rude not helpful and was outright plain mean to my mother in law when she simply asked for a spring role instead of an egg roll. Over priced, underwhelmed, overrated. Avoid avoid! Save your money go somewhere else, plenty of kosher options in Queens! read more

I've been eating at cho arm for many years now. They're good is great. Their wonton soup is delicious and the meat inside doesn't feel like a brick that's been sitting in the freezer for years, it's actually delicious. Often times we have our food for take out but when we eat in we always receive amazing service. They're very accommodating and are extremely willing to please and provide everything you ask for. They know what they're doing and they put forth great efforts. Some of the other dishes I'd recommend include the crispy shredded beef, chicken and broccoli, all their lo mains, sweet and sour chicken, and beef teriyaki. All very good and perfectly cooked. Their sushi is also very tasty and they have a great turnover so it's always fresh. The only dish I'm not so fond of is the sesame chicken. It's not that it's bad, it's simply not the sesame chicken taste i expect. High recommendations for this place! read more

I call this the curse of the Kosher restaurant - a Shanda if ever there was one. Had relatively high hopes, based on other Yelp reviews, recommending Cho-Sen Garden. Though not bad by any means, the restaurant serves merely serviceable Chinese food and sushi at a premium price. As with many Kosher restaurants, you can find infinitely better food at non-kosher restaurants for less money. However, you're kind of stuck if you require Kosher food. There's truly no longer any reason why a Kosher restaurant can't make exquisite food and charge the same price. But most don't. And Cho-Sen is no different. Entrees at a Chinese restaurant in the $20 plus range aren't necessary, nor are appetizers for over $10.00, unless the food is truly spectacular and innovative and the food at Cho-Sen isn't. Like I said, it's not bad - it's like a million other neighborhood Chinese restaurants, except it's Kosher- merely good -and Kosher can be so much better. read more

Good, food kosher and not too expensive ! I always come in and enjoy my food never disappointed and always take care of the waiters that take care of me! Can not say one bad thing about this restaurant best place ever. I come here a couple times a month and am never dissaointed! read more

A kosher Chinese food. and one that taste good. Believe it or not, this is this place. On a side street in Forest Hills, not trying to be fancy, but with very friendly people. Me and my friend went there for lunch, and since she only eat kosher, she chose the place. Kind and friendly people, and fresh and delicious food. read more

I noticed a mistake on the Cho-Sen Garden menu. By mistake it had an "egg roll". It should have been "fried cabbage in an egg roll shell". Absolutely the worst egg roll ever. If they can't even make an egg roll I would not eat anything from here. read more
