The food was very good be it chicken, beef, egg rolls or hot and sour soup. All the food was served hot -- not warm waiting in the kitchen to be served. Prices were typical Hudson Valley prices for Chinese food. The decor is unique as it's really historic clocks rather classic Chinese restaurant. Parking is on-street and can be challenging at times. Worth another visit. read more

The waitress was nice, but I can't believe she wouldn't serve me a glass of ice water (told to buy a bottle of water). Also, I don't like going to a restaurant and having my food served to me on paper plates with plasticware already on the table. We asked for chopsticks which were individually wrapped. We ordered 1/2 roast duck. There was barely 1/3 of a duck on the plate - they added cooked broccoli to cover the rest of the plate. The duck was a bit over-cooked, a little dry. The beef chow fun was OK. I won't be going back there. read more

Owners don't seem to care much. Seem burnt out cause lady was kinda grumpy. Arrived at 8pm for first time eating there. They closed at 9 so we did takeout to be courteous. Ordered a special with 3 different meats for around $15. When we got back to hotel, we discovered they gave us a breaded chicken and broccoli dish. It was ok but not what we wanted. It would have been less money too. The rest of the order was correct and was not bad but not really that good either. I do think they just gave us what they had and said screw it because they could tell we were visitors and would not be back again anyway. Ambiance is not that great. Antique clocks everywhere with signs that say, ".do not touch" but other sign that says, "all clocks are for sale". Kinda funny. read more

Got the Chow Fun w. Beef or 各式炒河粉 to go and it was good! Only took about 5 minutes to cook and be brought out to me piping hot. The inside of the restaurant was clean and the staff were friendly. read more

Dong Fong Restaurant - Chow Fun w. Beef or 各式炒河粉 - Chinese Near Me - Highland Falls, New York

This place was pretty mixed on. First they had no small sizes for menu items other then the soups. So no small beef and broccoli, only large. Plus the prices were high, so another off put. When I went inside was so confused, I mean I thought it was antique store and clock place til I saw the counter with menus, sauces and plastic wear, to which they soup laden for soup but no actual plastic spoons? So I placed my order and honestly the counter person was pretty friendly and though with my order, but afterwards they just seem to chill. So on to the food, the sesame chicken had a lot flavor and was not bland, but was overcooked and very chewy. The sauce was good for chicken. Now seafood portion, definitely could used more shrimp and a large ones at that. Way too much broccoli. The lobster chopped up was pretty fair, felt like more of it was present then the shrimp itself. Both seafood were cooked just right, unlike the chicken, plus the white sauce was good. Also not disappointed on the white rice, it was not fresh and tasted like spent a way then longer stay in the rice cooker then needed. I guess far be it from me to expected antique dealers to pump out good food XD read more

Dong Fong Restaurant - Dragon and phoenix - Chinese Near Me - Highland Falls, New York

Epic-ly bad Chinese food. The only thing I can figure is that are here to spy on West Point. The food and service is too awful to come with any other explanation for why they can still be in business. read more

Terrible food and terrible service chicken was gross and no sauce tried it out because nothing else like it nearby

After the West Point tour we decided on the Chinese restaurant across the street. The other restaurants are more for adult tastes. Mickie D's was out as well as pizza. Nothing wrong with them but.... Dong Fong (Oriental Restaurant) is typical Chinese American dining. There are more appetizers and soup selections than the usual Chinese neighborhood restaurants. The dumplings and wonton soup noodles have a thick dough shell. The hot & sour soup had an oddly sweet taste. Rather than the hot, spicy and sour flavor. It wasn't bad but not what we're used to having. The 6 of us, ranging in age from 8 to almost 70 were satisfied. read more

We went after a West Point game. Everything tasted like it was premade. Egg rolls not great. The wrappers were thick and not tasty. Won ton soup had zero vegetables and was like it came from. Can. General Taos chicken was tough. Brock was ok. Service with paper plates snd plastic napkin's Nice enough people but not great. We won't be back. read more

I had a friend that ate here once. All he ate was a single eggroll. He spent the entire next day on the toilet due to food poisoning. Word has it that if you show up at the hospital with food poisoning symptoms, the first thing they'll ask is if you've eaten at Dong Fong. I've also heard they store food in unsanitary and disgusting ways. This place is legendary for being so toxic. Steer clear if you are looking for edible food that won't land you in the hospital! read more

We are looking for Lucky Corner Chinese Restaurant, Google directed us to a residence building. The information is out of date. We have to go to this one. It is about 1:30 PM. This is the First time to try it. We have five people. Foods are served in plastic plates and bowls. Bean Curd, Sichuan Style is served not hot, not warm. When we want to order Sauteed string beans, we were told they don't have string beans. Instead, we have to order two Vegetarian Delight. The hot and sour soup is very hot and I can not take a single bite.The amount of food foreach order is small. This restaurant needs to improve their service! If you have other place, avoid this one. read more

When I got there on my first day, I was viewing the menu and immediately spotted a cockroach walking by the menu I was reading on, and I quickly left the place. The ambiance felt so dark and the smell was so utterly disgusting, the fact the place looked so unorganized made me felt unwelcomed, and the food aura made me sick to my stomach, don't eat here if you don't wanna end up in the hospital. There was little to almost no employees. read more

Primarily geared for takeout, but food is very good. Gluten Free options available, though not marked on menu.

I ordered beef n broccoli, fried rice and egg rolls. They added complimentary crab Rangoon. I'm sorry to say ALL items had the texture and taste of leftover food that was refried with old oil. The service was okay now knowing they gave me an order of crab Rangoon. The ambiance is such that is not welcoming as it's dark and somewhat disjointed. Also, the have a big are that they sell clocks...so out of place. read more

Cheap and loads of food what more could you ask for? It's exactly what I would expect from take out Chinese as far as food quality. Others are just doing what New Yorkers do best... complain ;) read more

Only went here twice. Once I had the crispy duck and it was quite dry and overcooked. The cook may have been having a bad day. Will return and give the duck another try :) read more

I HATE this place. The service is horrible. The food isn't anything special either. The breading in the chicken is bad. The chicken taste doughy and appears to lack real chicken. Sometimes I'm really hungry at lunch (I work close by) and I pick the damn hot dog stand across the street because these folks are rude with trash ass food. Wholeheartedly, I do not recommend even a sample from this place. read more

Poor quality of beef, had to throw good money away. So tough, use a crock pot and get it tender then mix it with the veg. Will not return.

Best service ever. Food was so good today it made me want to kiss the chef. My roommate ben and I order it every Thursday because it's so yummy yummy for our tummies read more

I don't know what the other two reviews are talking about. I've been there several times and the food was actually quite good IMO. The portions were large and the prices pretty reasonable. The aesthetics weren't superb, but the place was clean and the service was friendly. Probably not a date venue, but certainly an acceptable place for a casual business type lunch if you are working in or visiting the West Point area. read more

It is probably a good idea to avoid eating here at all cost. The food is very disappointing. read more

What disappoints me as I write this, is that I can't give this place a triple negative star. What should be expected from a business in a small town, is good food . When you fail to meet this criteria, you not only let yourself down, but the people who supported your establishment as well. Chicken lo mein shouldn't taste like I want to lock it up and throw away the key. My chicken wings shouldn't taste like you cooked them in a microwave, then tied them to the back of your car and dragged them across town. It was like, I was on that tv show and I was waiting for Ashton Kutcher to come out and say, "You Been Punked". But no, there was no one there to save me. There are really no more words to describe how disgusting their food is. Coming from a person who is passionate about what he eats, you rank triple zero. Your food quality shows the lack of passion you have. I can only imagine the flith in which this atrocious meal was prepared in. Please let me forget the day I ever ordered from Dong Fong. read more

Quite honestly, this the worst chinese takeout I've ever had. I've ordered from this establishment twice. The first time I ordered, I had the house special soup. Nothing to write home about, but there definitely wasn't any flavor. The main problem I had with this visit was walking into their restaurant. The place had a funny smell, the decorum was atrocious, and the service was not welcoming. The second time I ordered, I asked for a BBQ spare rib combo platter. This was at the end of the night, and I received the dish (to go), in about 5 minutes. It does not take 5 minutes to cook ribs. I'm only going to assume there was a microwave involved. The sauce used for the ribs had a weird tangy taste, and I could not finish it. The rice was nothing special, but the eggroll was unbelievably greasy. I could not get halfway through this dish before just tossing it in the trash. I will not return here, and I definitely would not recommend anyone to either. These guys are either hemorrhaging money, or the clientele keeps coming back because there are no other Chinese places in the area. read more

Hands down, this is the worst Chinese restaurant I have ever visited. I checked the County health department and sure enough, Dong Fong is one of the 10 worst restaurants for health code violations. Stay away, far, far away! read more

There was a roach in the dish, and he said we didn't show it to him so it doesn't count. Food was not good and they also had a bad attitude when we paid read more

Mabe I'm just spoiled with good Chineese in the city. I really wish we had a good chineese spot here in town. Went there twice and dissatisfied. Not sure if the food is fresh read more

Don't ever try to eat there , the old lady will pick up the food on table which customer unfinished ,wasted. To recook them in the back and make for new order . Be careful !!! It's horrible!!! read more

Hands down the worst "Chinese" food I've ever looked at. I say looked at because it sure as heck didn't taste like it either. Service is below sub-par, the fountain drinks were pure carbonated water, everything during the lunch hour was so old. I have no idea what the pork fried rice was made with. Maybe old pork and pure concentrated soy sauce? Four of us went for lunch and not one of us finished a plate. $45 for nothing. If you're craving Chinese cuisine, I recommend McDonald's across the street. read more

my dilemma is, do you have to buy something to voice your option?? we walked in and we go to sit down, Ms. Rude-i-licious tells us we can't sit there, to go sit on the other side. buffet lunch didn't look great, unfresh.. turn away, save your money and your health ..Its the only time I will recommend you eat McDonald's instead. read more

Avoid! If you are a tourist you may see bus loads of Asian tourists going to this Chinese Buffet. It gives the impression that this restaurant is busy and therefore a great place to eat. Do not be fooled. As a West Point employee Dong Fong is on the avoid list. The quality of the food is sub par, greasy and doesn't make you feel very good an hour or two after. I suspect that might be a real problem if you are driving. read more

This place is good!!!! I have no idea what the other reviews are talking about. I was traveling for work n got delivery. It took about 35 minutes but was freezing outside but they delivered in a timely manner. The house wonton soup was great n fresh. The beef n broccoli was great and a lot of food. I have no idea why this place getting bad wrap but I had no issues n the food was really good. I didn't talk to some old lady? It was a young female who clearly understood n the delivery guy was super nice. The food is good n great price. I don't know what is expected in small town America? read more

Honestly, I am Always on the road and this place is a joke :-( I am pronouncing the meal I want, the old lady doesn't understand. I show her on the menu, she can't read... The place is nearly empty and one employee is cutting its nail: click click... Ordered pot stickers: not grilled, Dow crazy thick, and inside meet not testing anything... Took sautéed beef as a second plate: no test what so ever... The Corona was as expected! NEVER AGAIN !!! read more

This food made us sick. Not sure how they stay in business but the place is scary dirty and dark, we should have known better than to sit and stay. Perhaps it was because we were starving and there weren't good choices on Main Street in Highland Falls. Don't eat at Dong Fong! read more

AWFUL!! The service sucks and the food lacks flavor. The pricing is way too high for the quality of food. This place only stays open because they have a captive audience. read more

My stomach is still upset from my meal at Dong Fong yesterday. Save yourself from prolonged gastro-misery by never eating the food from this place. read more

The food were extremely salty, ordered 4 dishes and one soup, barely touched! !!!! Save your money for something else, even the fast food is better than this!!!!! read more

The Dong was adaquete. Fong, who delivered our food, spoke very quietly, and I couldn't quite make eye contact with him. I noticed a distinct lack of sesame and an excess of broccoli in our Wonton soup. The napkins, which were much needed after guzzling my soup, were disappointingly only one-ply, like some cheap paper kite you buy in Chinatown. The little old Chinese lady, in all of her wisdom, granted us the blessing of not one but two diet Cokes. In conclusion, very mixed feelings. read more

Sadly, this seems to be the only Chinese take-out in the West Point, Highland Falls, Fort Montgomery area and it's underwhelming. We've tried this restaurant out a few times as we live in the area, and though they deliver, the food is really not that good. You might think that Chinese take-out places are pretty much all the same/similar, but this one is probably one of the worst I've tried. Also, it's cleanliness is quite questionable. read more

Food is ok. It's difficult when NYC is close and so good. I think better hospitality would give them a better rating. They can be quite rude at times. Delivery takes forever. read more
