I returned to Ng's today for a hot, fresh and delicious lunch that didn't disappoint! It was a cool, rainy day today and it was nice to get inside and receive my 3 dishes quickly. Today, I ordered spicy string beans, my FAV Ng's Special Spicy Eggplant with Shrimp and Chicken and Salted Fish fried rice too. Everything was delicious and I inhaled the food because I was starving. Portions are huge so I got to take home 2 boxes of food! YAY! Thank you for your wonderful food, we look forward to returning soon! :0) read more

I believe every person that walks through the door is a customer, maybe now or in the future. Running a successful business is treating every member of the community politely with service. I politely requested to use the restroom and I would've kept it clean and then very quickly left. They declined very rudely. Today's date is May 19, 2026. The time is 3:20 PM because of this I will not bring my money here and shop here and eat here nor will I ever suggest to any friends to come eat here. Business owners need to remember. Someone might not be a paying customer today, but they might be a PAYING customer in the future and it just put a really bad taste in my mouth. Remember, it takes a community to run a successful business. Anybody that walks through the door for a future customer. read more

They have excellent lunch and dinner specials for a great price! I got the two-item combos with two different, spicy flavors that comes with tons of food, veggies, And choice of fried rice or chow mein. Their entrees are also tasty. It is also amazing because I think they don't use MSG, but please check with them, as needed. They are also reliable and open without long lines to wait through, so I was able to grab food in or within ten minutes of ordering! read more

On 9/24/2026, I went to Ng and ordered a lunch plate. Tasted the food and did not like it. Asked the owner if I could replace this with Wonton Soup, she said yes. I sent the food back which had not been eaten. When I got my bill I was charged for the food I returned and the Wonton Soup. I asked the waitress why was I charged for the food I had sent back, she said you order your food you pay. I said I was not satisfied and the owner said she will replace with the Wonton Soup for this. They both said it is not our fault you did not Like it. I am a repeat customer. My family and I have been going there since they opened. I should not have been charged for food I set back. I had only tasted the food. There still was a lot of food. I only tasted it. This is not good customer service. I will not give them my business in the future. read more

I have grown to love this place for lunch on my way to and from appointments at Kaiser SSF. I ordered take out for dinner to bring home this afternoon. Totally different experience with the food from my past experiences. INCREDIBLY oily for everything we ordered, especially the twice cooked pork, where the "pork" seemed like under cooked bacon and tons of oil. I am hoping this was a one off. The flavors were still good, but everything, chow mein, beef and green beans and the previously mentioned twice cooked pork were just sitting in oil. Ugh read more

Pretty decent, simple dishes here. The walnut prawns were on point and they don't mix the walnuts in but have them on the side. The seafood fried rice was ok. The interior decor is very clean and spacious. read more

Dropped off an ups package next door and saw Ng's Cooking right next door, never been, so I went inside to take a look. I checked out their menu and they had a lunch special. I was very happy to see since lunch specials are my favorite since you get so much for a good price. The food took about 10 minutes from ordering to go. I got the bitter melon with shrimp. Tasted like home. Nothing fancy, but it hit the spot. Def a good spot for a quick bite and it's so close to home too. The vibes were nice and they had a tv playing football. Check em out! -BlackTigerEats read more

This was one of the most worst experiences most frustrating ordering experiences l've had. The employee taking phone orders seemed more interested in rushing through the call than actually listening to the customer.I was interrupted or hurried along, which ultimately led to my order being completely wrong. The entire purpose of taking an order over the phone is to listen and confirm the details. If staff can't take an extra few seconds to hear what customers are saying, mistakes are inevitable.unfortunately, that is what happened here. What makes this especially disappointing is that the error could have been avoided if the employee had simply paid attention instead of rushing me off the phone. I spent my money expecting the food I ordered and received something different because basic customer service was lacking. I understand that restaurants get busy, but being busy is not an excuse for poor communication and careless order taking. Management should seriously address how phone orders are handled because this experience left me with little confidence in retuning. read more

OMG! My tastebuds were totally tantalized with the delicious food I consumed! The ambiance was so pleasant and the service was top notch!

The place is solid affff. I've been frequenting Ng's Cooking a lot recently especially during for their lunch deals. $12+ for rice, entrée, and soup!! Of course you don't get the full serving size of entrée but their dishes are SO tasty that I'm willing to overlook it loll. All their dishes are tasty and serving size is pretty generous! Beware though, their spicy dishes aren't spicy at all but I'm sure you can request the kitchen to adjust it to your preference. Don't get the dim sum here!! Def overpriced but other dishes tho... *chefs kiss* read more

Good menu selections, leans to Americanized Chinese food, but does feature a few authentic items. Services was quicker than previous visits, but could still use improvement. Like the decor, but even though there are a few tables, it's a small space, so take out is probably recommended. Good location in the Westborough shopping center, but the parking lot can get crowded and can be difficult to get in-and-out. Food is solid, including their weekday lunch specials, good cook, good flavor, some items can be a bit too salty, but overall, it's a good spot to get your fix for Chinese food. Have yet to try other items on their menu (ex. rice porridge), but while it's not my favorite spot, it's definitely a solid option when in the area. read more

Food is still average. I forgot we ate here before, but stopped in for a snack. Crispy seafood chow mein was average. Crispy noodles when out of kitchen, corn starchy gravy seafood (squids, shrimps, fish, scallops). Asparagus with XO sauce was good, asparagus still Crispy. Wor wonton soup was average, pork wontons, shrimps, spinach, and squid in broth. I did not like pork wonton, tasted old or bad spice. Service was quick as no one else in restaurant. Ambiance is like oother small cafes with about 10 tables. Overall, 3 stars out of 5. read more

My family and I ate lunch here on Sunday. There was no wait at this restaurant and we were seated immediately. We ordered six family style dishes split between five people was more than enough. Below is the ranking of dishes, one being the highest. 1. Salt and Pepper Pork Chops 2. Manila Clams in Black Bean Sauce 3. Wonton Soup 4. Chow Mein 5. Pan Grilled Salmon 6. The Sampler which included chicken wings, pot stickers, egg rolls, fried shrimp, and crab wontons This restaurant will definitely satisfy you're craving for Chinese food. The Salt and Pepper Pork Chops were my favorite because they were crispy and flavorful. In the sampler the crab wontons did not have enough filling in them. If I ever go back I would want to try the other dishes. read more

This is my grandma's top spot in the area for a quick lunch or dinner, but mostly dinner! It conveniently nearby in a plaza that has a lot parking but also gets busy so I appreciate the 10 min spots in front of this place because it makes it more likely we'll get a space for pick up. Ordered a lot of different dishes from here. Their popcorn chicken is quite different from other places because they are round pieces, more like shredded chicken that gets fried and is still a pretty good snack. Their egg rolls are a bit on the thicker side with ok filling. The dumplings are nothing special but it was complimentary so why not. If you order a certai amount then you have a choice between dumplings and egg rolls. Main dishes are decent, my grandma likes their beef and chicken in the dishes. She likes the chow fun with black bean sauce but it was a wet gravy instead of dry and not mixed very well the last tine we ordered it. I like their west lake soup and their honey walnut shrimps are pretty big. The buddha vegetarian dish tastes like a very chinese dish called jai with things like different kinds of mushrooms in it. Again, my grandma who lives near by really likes this place so I'm sure I'll be back on her behalf! read more

Their dishes are authentic and creative! Since there are so few good chinese restaurants in this area I encourage people to try the restaurant. They serve generous portions, and all their dishes are very flavorful and served fresh. We especially enjoy their crab fried rice, salted fish fried rice, salt and pepper chicken wings, shiitake mushroom tofu vegetable dish, wonton and rice soups and other... All their noodle and vegetable dishes are great too! Not sure why they got lower than 4 rating from others but i totally disagree with them. I know chinese food well being chinese myself, and they never disappoint when it comes to their food. read more

What you get is different than what you order. Beware you may not get what you ordered. We ordered online the family menu and went to pick it up, only to find out that they never received our order. We had to reorder in the restaurant and wait for the food to be made, and the menu online is different than the one in store. The in-store family menu did not have the lamb dish, instead it was described as cod, but came out in the dish was some kind of alternative like Swai or Tilapia. Furthermore, one of the dishes was described in English as 'beef and scallops' and the Chinese description was 'beef and shrimp'. What we got was beef and shrimp. We also ordered the pan fried pork ribs which was dry and tough like jerky. Oddly, the pork ribs came with random sticks of sweet potato fries -- I have never seen any Chinese dishes come with sweet potato fries. Also note that the prices in store are more expensive than the prices advertised on line. So not only could we not order online (lost order), we had to pay higher prices (inaccurate pricing), and the food was not what we expected (no lamb, no cod, no scallop). When we mentioned our concerns, they compensated with a box of 5 dumplings. This hardly compensates for wasted time, inaccurate pricing, and disappointment with different food than expected. We really wanted this to be a great Chinese restaurant, but unfortunately it missed the mark. read more

Food is GREAT!!! Service, courteous staff! Ordered take outs twice already. Cooked and ready at time promised. Ambiance? Customers are respectful. Not too loud with their conversations unlike most Chinese restaurants. Could be due to a more diverse customers. Our new discovery. We will frequent this place definitely! Will update this review AFTER a sit down meal! Ng can cook! As promised: We had a sit down lunch today and the Yang Chou fried rice remains superb, the crab/corn soup terrific, the shiitake mushroom with tofu veggie yummy and the HK style fried noodle excellent! Mr Ng himself greeted us and was grateful that we like his place! DEFINITELY a 5 STAR! read more

I ordered ahead for chicken chow fun and their website is super confusing. I ended up coming in at the time they said it would be ready at and they don't say anything to me i walk to the front and say i'm picking up my order.... they all look at each other like ummmm what order. while my order is on the screen behind them. They then turn and say they are sold out of chow fun noodles and start offering me other noodles. I told them i was craving chow fun and then don't offer me like a refund or anything. So i just say I'll have chow mein instead.... the woman proceeds to walk up to me and says next time order the beef chow fun and say you don't want beef you want chicken and then i'll make it for you... i was like wtf? didn't you just say you don't have the chow fun anyways?????? they then come out with the tinnest box i've ever seen for $20. I could've gone to the outer sunset and gotten a big ass plate for less... read more

The food is good, but this place is quite pricey for what it is. The Lunch specials are reasonably priced so I'd say that's the way to go.

So glad we walked into this place! Services was great from the moment we walked in. We were given a free appetizer, short ribs and they were delicious. All the dishes that we ordered were so tasty full of flavor and were cooked to order. We've been back several times. read more

The best dishes. Hot off the grill reasonable prices nit too crowded. Very good parking lot.

My go to for local Chinese. Fried rice and porridge is usually pretty good here.. I mean how can you go wrong. Though.. their prices are higher than average. Their chili sauce is also delicious (primary reason I go here) but they're extremely stingy with it! And usually try not to give it to you. Other than that, service is solid, typically. Pro tip - Don't forget to double check and always ask for hot/chili sauce. read more
