If I could do 2.5, I would. The place is decent, but the fried rice is often burnt or nothing more than yellow rice with some veggies. The egg rolls are on the soggy side, not crispy. The people who work here are cordial, but cannot, for some reason, ever muster a smile or genuine friendliness. I go here because it's convenient. It's across from the hellhole I currently find myself residing. The best, crispiest egg rolls from a chinese carry out I've eaten are at New Kam Sheng in the Bronx. If you've got nowhere else to go, it'll suffice. If anything else is open or near, generally, try that. read more

I just received a takeout order of the worst, Inauthentic-tasting Szechuan shrimp imaginable. The sauce was thick without flavor.The shrimp and most of the vegetables tasted old. About to throw it out, $20 in the garbage. Never again. read more

The front lady taking orders she's good quick and follow directions of how you want your food, they are average neighborhood but clean and great taste the wings are the best I've seen. read more

We were kind of apprehensive because of the mixed reviews but... we needed a new go-to for Chinese in the neighborhood and BAMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!! It was soooo bomb.. several reasons. Let's start off with what we ordered: - Scallion pancake: layers on layers and layers. Crispy on the outside and chewy layers on the inside. There were so many scallions too. We really enjoyed the dipping sauce as well. - Crab rangoon: they were folded in cute little triangles with tucked in corners. Super flavorful with lots of imitation crab meat, not just cream cheese. - Kung Pao chicken: SPICY and good. Lots of veggies and peanuts. They did not skimp on the chicken either. Thank you! - Chicken and broccoli: My parter LOVED this. It is usually his go-to dish for Chinese so I am happy that he really liked it. He really liked that the broccoli had a crunch to it and it wasn't limp and soggy like most Chinese carry-outs. Then, the order came so fast! Like lightening speed. The delivery guy was so nice too. That is all. I cannot wait to try other things on the menu. BYE read more

Ocean Restaurant - a variety of food items on a table - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

Food tastes Good ! But I don't like the soup not so much. lunch special is small but it's enough for me.

While in Harlem I had a taste for Chinese food and decided to try a different restaurant than the one I usually go to when I'm in the area. My daughter recommended this place because she recently tried their wings and loved it. I ordered a small pork fried rice, crab Rangoon and a Canada Dry ginger ale. It was ok. The pork fried rice was more like yellow rice with roast pork not the actual fried rice served at most Chinese restaurants. I prefer oily pork fried rice with more of a fried look to it if that makes sense. However, I really liked the crab Rangoon. They were stuffed really well and had a great fresh taste. read more

This is my go-to for Chinese in the area. I order pick-up and it is usually ready on time and in good quality. While I can't speak to much else on the menu, the general tso lunch special's my main order, and it's quite good. Comes with pork fried rice and soup, all for a fair price read more

I ate here for the first time and ordered the drunken noodle on Seamless. I rated it 4 star because the food was delivered in under 30mins and the delivery guy was nice. I've had drunken noodle from other Thai restaurants and love it, here it's subpar. I ordered medium spice and all they put was crushed red pepper on time. In my opinion it took away the authenticity from the food. read more

The food here is very good compared to other Chinese food closer to me. They delivered my food in 20 min I ordered beef and broccoli and scallion pancakes. The scallion pancakes are amazing! Beef and broccoli is good too. They threw in a egg roll and soda read more

Ocean Restaurant you are absolutely amazing, I had a spectacular experience here yesterday. It is pleasant place. Fantastic menu items, Sesame Chicken was my choice and it was really magnificent. Team are super friendly and service is really swift. Ocean Restaurant - Definitely a new spot of mine. read more

This Chinese restaurant WAS my go to place. Their pork fried rice is one of the best I've tasted. However, I recently ordered from this restaurant and was highly disappointed. I ordered the chicken and broccoli lunch special and was faced with an unsettling piece of bone. I don't want to be rude, but the bone appeared claw-like. I contacted the restaurant and explained to them what I discovered in my food. They were indeed receptive and agreed to replace my meal. Although I wanted a refund, my coworker suggested I try something different and "safe". That will be the last time I order from there. This experience makes me apprehensive about ALL Chinese food. read more

Ocean Restaurant - a plate of chicken and broccoli - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

I don't understand the low reviews. For a local, uptown asian/Chinese restaurant, it is one of the better ones, much better. Their dumplings are delicious. They use a thin dough and the filling is excellent. Due to dietary constraints, I've ordered the steamed chicken and broccoli and it was fresh and the broccoli was not overcooked. Other dishes were equally as good. I'm picky about Chinese food and all other area places just don't do it for me. read more

Just experience the worst thing in here..I dropped a 20$ bill In the store and I didn't even know..the lady was acting like she was cleaning up and pick my money up then started talking to her co worker in their language..and laughing ..so I go to reach for my money and it's not in my pocket..I told the lady I be right back because i think I dropped it in the previous store I was in..but I didn't tell her that....she asked me how much I lost..but I didn't tell her my reason for leaving..she just kept beating around the bush asking how much I lost ..I said 20 dollars..I kept asking did she find it and give it to u she said yea I'm like give me my money..why didn't any of u ask was this mine and instead of laughing ..I was just amazing how I'm always in there.. but they pull something like this..my last time in there will be today read more

The food smelled rancid and had to throw most of it away. The dumpling sauce had an especially revolting stench. I spent about $100 and it went in the garbage. This is the single worst food delivery experience I have ever had. Don't believe the fake, positive reviews. read more

I randomly ordered take out Last evening. Ultra greasy. Literally my noodles were swimming in it. Not ordering from again. The sesame chicken tastes good but once again overly greasy and over breaded. I try not to leave bad reviews but this has to be addressed read more

This place is my go-to Chinese. Not fancy, kinda pricey for what it is....but it's decent, and yummy, and quick! The sweet and sour chicken, the egg foo young, the general tso's...so good! read more

Let me start off by saying I love their food. Recently I ordered delivery and the courier called and when we made it downstairs there was no one there. It is bad enough they refuse to come up and I am understanding of that due to the building I live in and the area. With that being said, if you don't come up for your safety at least give residents time to come down from 8th for and a slow elevator. I called and complained to a man who was kind and did apologize but, told me I would have to come in and pick up my food. I have an illness that is difficult on my body and order so that I don't have to go pickup food. So this on the customer service scale was terrible. My order should have been redelivered and for the severe inconvenience they should have added even something small to my order as a good faith apology gesture. So at low & behold we had to pick up the food. I did reach out to Seamless and was reimbursed for an order totaling $50.00. I just wish we could get good food (which as I mentioned they had) along with good customer service. I took this as a 1 time incident as I have since ordered from them and now explain to courier to please give us time to get downstairs. read more

Never order on phone---- ONE HOUR LATER the order came- I cannceled it!!!! TERRIBLE! I'm starving !!!!! So upset! read more

The food is decent tasty and clean ( for Chinese food) but I've never experienced so much disrespect from their DELIVERY SERVICE. I guess they stopped coming upstairs to deliver the food for safety reasons, which is annoying because one day the guy kept ringing the bell and I kept buzzing him. I thought my intercom was broke until I heard him yell from outside " COME DOWN". The second time I ordered the delivery guy texted me and claimed he called but didn't. I called Ocean and they said he left but they will call him to come back. When he came back I asked him " sir your delivery team don't ring the bell anymore" and he rudely said $19. So I asked again and he said ( in a nasty tone) NO I CALLED YOU.... your phone out of service?". I will no longer order food from here because of their rude DELIVERY guy, I'm a paying customer and I don't appreciate being disrespected. read more

Really good Chinese food. It's a tad bit more expensive than other Chinese food spots in the area but it's definitely worth the extra couple dollars. Delivery took 20 min, perfect. I got beef with mixed veg in garlic sauce. Good no complaints. And scallion pancakes. They are my new fave they're delicious. Crispy on the outside soft in the inside and comes with its own dipping sauce and it's so good. I will be ordering from here again read more

So it's been established that the girl on the phone is rude. She is. Last time I went in person she forgot to put in my order when I placed it & said I'd be back. They she pretended it was indeed cooking yet I still had to wait an additional 10 minutes. I put up with them cause they're the closest to me but I should really try and find another place. I've currently been waiting on my order for almost an hour. read more

Ocean's food is good but the customer service is horrific. The girl who answers the phone is completely inept. I ordered of Shrimp with Broccoli w/ White rice and very little sauce. I told her that I was going to pick it up. Simple right? Clearly not. I get there and she sent the order out for delivery. I didn't give her the address! I had to wait for the delivery man to come back to bring me my food. I was pissed but I pay and head back to the house. I get home and my Shrimp and Broccoli is DROWNING in sauce to the point where the bag it is in is saturated with sauce. Please note that this was not one of those cheap Styrofoam containers, this was a sealed plastic container that sauce was oozing out of. I had to strain the sauce out! Then, I open the rice container and it is brown rice! WTF?!! I call them back and lose it. I am like "Deliver my white rice NOW." She says to me "Fine, we'll deliver it but we want the brown rice back." WOW. Whatever lady, take your undercooked brown rice back. I didn't want it in the first place, that's why I ordered white rice! 35 minutes later, I finally get my white rice and gave their brown rice back. They are 4 blocks away from here. 35 minutes. Out of control. NEVER AGAIN! read more

They Suck! Screwed up my order too many times and then the girl argues on the phone with me to never admit she was wrong AGAIN!! The guy who covers for her said I was a liar...and ordered something I hate?? What??? Assholes!! read more

I had spicy triple delight combination platter and found little roach in the saurce. You should avoid this place.

BE PREPARED TO WAIT FOR IT. They will never deliver in less than an hour and that is being generous. I have never gotten my food delivered in less than an hour and 20 minutes, in fact my last order took over 2 hours. Saying this, I have only ordered twice giving them a second chance. Any time I have called to ask what is going on they say "yeah, yeah, on its way, very busy". I'm a very understanding guy, but when I've waited almost an hour and a half and then I am called to come downstairs (22 floors in a less than reliable elevator in my semi-converted project building) to get my food, I'm not terribly inclined to recommend this place. Now, I actually used to deliver food on a bicycle here in NYC so I can't, in good conscience, take this out on the delivery guy...but then again, he's the one that won't come up and deliver my food. If I had the intention of making part of the trip to get my food, I would have ordered pick-up from the Chinese place closer by. Like I said, it's 'fine' for this area. I made the mistake of ordering from here twice so I could hopefully save others from doing the same. DON'T DO IT...order some kind of cuisine you think you don't like if that is the only option...as long as they have a reputation for actually delivering the food. OR don't eat...if you're OK waiting for this, you'd be better off waiting until you have the time/ability to go and get something to eat when you want to eat because by the time you get this you'll be past hungry and will probably have eaten any kind of "snack" you might have lying around. read more

Horrible. Horrible. Horrible. Waited 1 hour for the food. Called them to cancel it. Ten minutes later they rang the bell. My boyfriend answered. Everything in me told me to send it back but we paid and ate it anyway. The house special egg foo young had two shrimp the rest was omelette and onions. Ordered a shrimp roll. Not in the bag. The beef lo mein tasted refrigerated and old. However we got 2 free sodas. I asked for a Pepsi and root beer, got 2 Pepsi. I can't tell you how over Ocean I am. I took their menu out of the menu drawer. Yuk. Go somewhere else. read more

I've been living in the neighborhood for 6 years but I don't get out much to see what in my area to eat. My boyfriend order from this place grubhud.com....The food to me is fresh very tasty. ..snice then we have orders twice and about to order to nite....love there different flavors of wings and different flavors of fried rice... read more

The fried chicken wings are amazing! Usually a very good local option for Chinese food.

Do not waste your time or money. It's been an hour an a half and I still haven't received my order and I literally live two blocks away..."it's coming". It's not worth the wait for this mediocre food. read more

The girl who answers the phone is a complete and total idiot. She messed up a simple order of pepper steak and sesame chicken, they only sent the sesame chicken and when I called back to query the mix up, this chick pretended she couldn't hear me and hung up. The food is just okay, not worth all the trouble. My suggestion, call some place else. read more

Great food, and they have my address saved so no need to repeat my address everytime. Fast delivery for me as well all the time.
