Three meats. Chicken, duck, and pork.
Mike M.

Im always up for new foods but admit I am a noob when it comes to this type of food. I wanted something simple so I go on ubereats to try and find some bbq meats over rice with a place that had some decent reviews and here we are. The food arrived quick but was disappointing. Im not sure if this is because I'm not one of their people but the meat in the dish had all bones and was nearly inedible. I went with 3 meats. Chicken, duck, and pork over rice. The chicken had tiny bones in it because it was chopped up. The duck which I was very excited about was the biggest upset. It was literally the spine piece and could not be eaten. The only thing I could eat was the pork which was good. I won't eat here again.

Haven't visited this restaurant in a few years; and decided to give this place another try. Arrived here for a family dinner- dishes were already pre-ordered by my parents so, soon as I arrive food was ready to be set onto the table; the main dishes came out piping hot; with the seafood plates tasting fresh and well seasoned. The standout dish for me was the fried eggplant with egg tofu- it has this Thai sweet chili sauce on it- that tasted savory and delightful on a hot summer day. Service was pretty decent; waitstaff came by frequently to change dirty plates and added more water for the table. Overall, a good dinner for the night

Best time to come for lunch on the weekends if you're not doing dimsum is around 1:30PM. Noticeably quieter and you won't be waiting long for seats! Service was really nice and helpful. There are a lot of things not on their printed menu that you can ask the waiters about and they'll give you recommendations if they don't have certain things too. Most importantly, the prices are soo sooo reasonable for the dishes they served. We wanted the garlic scallops vermicelli but they said they didn't have that, and recommended us these giant oysters instead. They were freaking ginormous!! The length of my hands/face. Worth every penny for sure. They are under seasoned though so you should ask for some soy sauce or grab some sauce from another entree dish. But very plumb and fresh. Literally every table around us was eying our oysters, oohing and salivating haha. Sliced Conch with Tofu: fried beautiful, not too salty, seasoned well. Loved the juicy scallops with this dish as well Tai Shan Cauliflower with Preserved Meat: the preserved meat is super fatty in this dish but flavor is very good. Oily though, be warned! Wished that they could've cut some of the cauliflower a little smaller, those were stalks! Lamb Casseole: wahhhh sooo tender and flavorful! Definitely should get this one as well. Saucy and the lamb doesn't taste gamey at all due to the rice spice seasoning. Super generous portion

Came here for dinner and it was quite dead when we got to the place. The waiters were taking naps in the corner, it was quite a scene. It quickly filled up around 7, so it was nice to see the restaurant wasn't completely dead. The decorations and vibe of the restaurant is very typical Chinese restaurant. It was a little outdated but it wasn't an eyesore. The food was okay, nothing to write home about. Now the service was questionable. When we asked for cold water, they gave us cups full of random floaty stuff in it and it was kind of gross tbh... the good thing is that this place is BYOB, so there's that.

Mexico Bun - the way it droops because it has no bottom support lol

Very mid dim sum. My group and I trickled in pairs at around 1PM on a weekend, and it was funny the workers automatically knew to associate us together. The tea was the most disappointing. If you're going to a yum cha at a dim sum restaurant, the least they can do is make tea that isn't too concentrated or dark. Our tea was very dark and heavily bitter. The workers here were the most persistent I've seen so far in selling to us the food in their carts. Being it was always the same lady lol. But her service was appreciated, as she was able to find for us every dish we requested. I only remember the Chicken Feet having the most flavor. A good majority felt like it was lacking something. My favorite dish like the Bean Curd Roll tasted off, with not enough sauce. The Steamed Malay Sponge Cake was not as creamy, custardy, or soft. The Albert Yip pieces were way too huge, that it made them tough to chew. I'm not sure I would call the Mexico Bun a bun. On the top, the appearance, texture, and taste was delicious. But what happened on the bottom? There was like no breading at all, with only the thinnest piece of flour to support the mountainous top part. The appearance of the dim sum also wasn't there. A lot of the baked fried foods that you can already see from the carts looked very dry and doughy, that I can understand why the cart ladies were trying so hard to market them to people. I could go on, but I would be very disappointed if this was my first dim sum experience in Brooklyn. 8th Ave Chinatown has better dim sum, so please don't give up on Brooklyn yet if we shared the same sentiments here!

Had my 40th surprise dinner here and boy... did they deliver. Course this is the well vetted & frequented local spot by the family through and through so there'd be no hiccups really. True to order and in Chinese tradition- order 8-9 dishes for good luck. Everything was good or fcking great. Fcking crazy good: lobster sticky rice w bits of taro. No wonder they keep talking about this one. The baby beef ribs has a charred flavor- very well done. The eggplant tofu dish w viet/Thai sweet sour sauce is fire. Jellyfish is well a must, so are carbs, pea shoots, and a chicken. There's is a drunk wine one which is not really my jam but it's flavorful. Dam it's so good and I was in the BEST mood naturally.

Bensonhurst LOVES their dim sum. All the table clothed, dragon embossed establishments replete with pushcarts containing what are essentially asian tapas are perpetually packed on the weekends. You can even see a crowd forming before this restaurant even opens at 8:30am. Whose eating dim sum at 8:30am you ask? Loads of people, and this is kind of a good move. If you get here anytime past 10am you can expect to wait a while for a table. The ownership and name of this restaurant has changed several times in the last decade, but it's always essentially the same classic Cantonese restaurant. With this iteration of the restaurant the interior feels bright, clean and modern, with really pretty lavender table cloths and seat covers. All the food was consistently hot, which you can expect at a busy dim sum restaurant since the dishes are turning over quicker, but the quality of the ingredients and the flavors weren't high. Classics like har gow, shrimp in rice noodles, and siu mai were just a tad overcooked. Pastries like the pineapple bun and egg tart were pretty fresh though. Sometimes servers will try to force you to take a dish you don't want, which happened to us here. We went back and forth where we told our server we didn't want a dish she placed on our table, and her insisting we take it because "it tastes good." It took me being a little loud and forceful for her to take back the dish, which I guess you can argue is just part of the traditional dim sum experience.

Salt and Pepper Pork Chops.
Kevin K.

Came here couple times for family dinner. This time we decided to order in. We ordered Lobster with sticky rice, we love the sticky rice, we have to order extra sticky rice. Salt and Pepper Pork Chops, Crispy garlic fillet fish, Crispy Fried Tofu Stuffed With Shrimp with Stir Fried Conch, Mayonnaise Shrimp with walnuts, Eggplant with Salted Fish and Chicken, Salt & Pepper Silver fish & Tai Peng Rice Vermicelli Noodles. Normally I don't like to order fried stuff to go, cuz by the time bring it home, it will be soggy. Surprisingly, Pork chop and both fried fish is still pretty crispy. The star of the dish is always the lobster with sticky Rice, Is A MUSY!!!. Every time when we ordered, we have to order extra rice. The rice always finish before the lobster, that's how good the rice is. Highly recommend. I was disappointed on the fried bean curd with the conch. The conch was very tough and chewy. Everything is really good, just little too greasy. Good Flavor!!!

Came again for a friends dinner party banquet. We have four tables at the end and with practitioners for privacy. The king crab is excellent, fresh and delicious. All other dishes are huge. Service is good. Overall it's a very enjoyable dinner.

Very solid Chinese food spot. We picked up food to go and the restaurant looked very clean and…read morespacious though no one was eating in. The food was very fairly priced and the portions were huge. We got the pork soup dumplings, pork fried rice, szechuan chicken (which came with white rice), and pad see ew (which though not listed comes with pork, chicken, and shrimp). Everything was solid, but our favorite was the fried rice which had a ton of flavor. I liked the veggies that were in the chicken dish but there were just way too many of them compared to the chicken and I wasn't crazy about the sauce. The pad see ew wasn't made the traditional way I've had it with soy sauce and oyster sauce. It had some sort of orange sauce that tasted closer to a sweet and sour. It wasn't bad it was just not what I was hoping for. The soup dumplings were solid, no complaints there. And the fried rice was great, lots of flavor. Overall, I liked this place especially for the price but I'd probably order different things if I went back.

I had a taste for Chinese food like good old school. Chinese food and I happen to look on one of…read morethe delivery apps and located this place. I found parking down the block and walked over to the restaurant. It seems like more of a delivery spot because there was no one inside sitting at any of the 5 tables. It's a fairly good size space, very simply decorated, mixed with a cool wall resembling a curio cabinet of treasures. I chose a spot in the middle and went to the restroom which was clean and simple. I noticed there were a lot of takeout orders, from delivery services to local folks picking up their regular dinner. I looked over the menu and decided on salt and pepper wings and an order of shrimp. Fried Rice came out first and it was delicious. I even tasted a hint of salted egg yolk mixed into the egg mixture friefried up with the rice that signature crispiness with the little saltiness.... fantastic. The salt and pepper wings were different than the ones i'm accustomed to though the flavor was amazing.It didn't have the fried garlic, peppers, chilis, and onions that i'm accustomed to being in the dish. They were still flavorful, juicy and crisp and I could tell they cooked them fresh.That was much appreciated. I ended up taking half of my food home because I was stuffed.Thank you Msm Ellen and the Crown Garden crew for a tasty solo dinner.
