    31. B.B.Q. Spare Ribs Lunch Special. DELICIOUS!
    Jason R.

    Anyone who is looking for solid, really good Chinese food should stop by Ruans. I've been come here for at least 20 years. Never had a bad meal. The spare ribs are amazing. The service is always friendly and accommodating. The ambiance is nice and laid back.

    Shrimp with 30. Mix Vegetables with Protein Combo
    Lesley O.

    Lately; everywhere I order from near where I live is such a disappointment. When you order a protein with vegetables, there is an expectation that it will have pea pods, water chestnuts, baby corn, etc. I was ecstatic when I found out that New Ruan's had exactly what I had expected and had been looking for so long!! I also really enjoy the shrimp with string beans. Absolutely delicious!

    This is one of the nicest old school Chinese restaurants which is very traditional and the inside is absolutely stunning. The menu is expensive and the customer service is over the top. The location on 86 street is excellent, very quaint and invokes, a sense of old world Chinatown, especially when inside. The small bar area is also very attractive and an excellent place to sit and have some drinks.

    You must try the best Cantonese Shrimp Wonton Noodle Soup ! This soup is for two to share. However my sister and I have each ordered it so we did not have to share ! It is that good ! Their Boneless Spare Ribs are a great appetizer . Grilled Pork Chops cooked with lemon grass is Excellent ! My friend and I always order the House Special Fried Rice. This is a great side dish with anything on the menu . Gung Hay Fat Choy ! to all the wonderful people at this restaurant .

    It's not everyday that an old school Bensonhurst staple of the 1990s & 2000s not only sticks around, but manages to get it right, somehow get better and still keep its old school Brooklyn charm. New Ruan's is that rare gem! With all the recent closures of Asian gems in the area and more spots pushing their last order times earlier and earlier, New Ruan's is that staple that will never disappoint where you can get a true NYC Chinese meal at 9:30pm with enough time to spare for a drink afterwards. You get seated, the old school NYC Chinese restaurant vibes are all over the place, hot tea is delivered immediately, water is quickly poured and those crispy noodles with sauces are all dropped within the first minute of being seated by an attentive, welcoming and humorous waiter that's been there since day one. This place IS old school NYC Chinese food by definition. A place you know you will get a proper NYC Chinese meal. We ordered the string beans with beef combo which was not only delicious and fresh (string beans were actual string beans) but the roast pork fried rice was silly (not clumpy or stale) and the egg roll, well, it was a proper egg roll. Just like the ones I ate every week as a child in NYC. And I also made sure to order my personal favorite: that old school seafood pan fried noodle dish. And let me just say the following: New Ruan's always gets it right with this dish. The seafood is always fresh, the noodles are always crispy and the sauce is clean! It's so damn good that I always want more to take home. So for those that don't know, if you want that old school classic NYC Chinese food table experience, New Ruan's got you covered! You will not be disappointed. A staple of the community that has stood the test of time and should still be serving amazing NYC Chinese food well after we are all gone from this earth. No joke, you want the real deal, some nostalgia with amazing results that were just as good, if not better than you last remembered? Than look no further than New Ruan's in Bensonhurst. Facts.

    Great service !! Very friendly and accommodating at New Ruans. You can share all dishes on the menu or eat it for yourself. The dishes served are very good portions and you will have stuff to take home. Everything comes with rice. Wonton chips with duck sauce and hot mustard will be waiting on your table. Kitchen is super fast. Good place for family.

    Small chicken with mixed vegetables $7.95 (2022)
    J. R.

    I have ordered here several times. Definitely satisfied as far as a fast food Chinese place. ... The food tastes good and the quality is better than most places in the area. ... I would have rated 4 stars, except for the delivery experience which was terrible. The delivery person yelled at me for not coming outside in the freezing cold, as I have a baby at home. And then continued to yell after I asked him to wait a couple of minutes while I got the money. ... I called to complain and they were courteous and apologized about it.

    chicken with broccoli, plain fried rice, chicken lo mein, and an egg roll.

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.

Get the "20 mini dumplings + drink of your choice". Seriously, I'm getting hungry just writing this review. Food: I ordered the 20 mini dumplings and drink combo, substituting the soda option for taro boba (+$4), totaling around $18 after tax! The dumplings are mini, but they are filled with so much flavor it's unbelievable. They each have a bit of soup in them that is so flavorful and not salty. There is also a slight bit of crispiness on the outside of each dumpling before the inside just melts in your mouth. It's unbelievably good. The taro boba is also well done. It's not too sweet, and the boba pearls are a unique level of like not that chewy and feel almost like popping boba?! Service: Friendly service! My friend and I did to-go, but the staff were all quite friendly. There is also a kiosk to order from if in a rush. Ambiance: It's a very clean restaurant and spacious. However, since there were so many people waiting for the viral item, we formed essentially a crowd outside the steps. The wait took about half an hour, and then my friend and I walked just down a couple of blocks to the Brooklyn Heights promenade, which has the most stunning view of the Manhattan skyline.

We were skeptical about this restaurant but it exceeded our expectations and we can't wait to return! We came on a weekend for dinner so it was busy! We were able to snag a table and seeing how busy this place was, we knew it was going to be good! We had the pork XLB, chicken feet, pork & vegetable wontons with spicy peanut sauce, noodles with scallion and peanut butter sauce, beef lo mein and the beef ribs. Everything was delicious! The highlights of our meal were the pork XLB and the beef ribs. The pork XLB were made fresh to order and they were flavorful and juicy! Definitely on my list of best XLB I have ever had. The beef ribs were also delicious! They torched it table side which definitely added a nice touch! Considering how busy they were, the service was immaculate. They were also very attentive to details since we had a kid with allergies. We will definitely be coming back soon. This place is also right next to the Court Street train station which makes it very convenient to get to!
