This has to be at least my fifth, if not more, annual summer sit down visit at this restaurant. Separately, throughout each year, we do indulge in the occasional takeout order. But what's been a constant are these great annual early afternoon family dinners. We can't go wrong as service has always prompt and fairly friendly. Mind you the same servers are still here from when the Green Dragon became 'New'. Meals have been consistent and always served timely. The restaurant itself is always clean, with the same decorative reddish accents and wooden interior. With bright, semi-bright lighting. The New Green Dragon is a good neighborhood spot to get decent eats. Chill and catch up with family and get many belly laughs in between.

The locals I spoke with suggested we try China Wok, so let's check 'em out. From what I witnessed they are your basic Chinese-American fast food kitchen. With a couple of tables set up if you so happen to stay. Majority of the orders are to go. Ordering is no nonsense and meals are wok'ed up or fried quickly once placed. We stuck with ordering a couple of our go to staples for comparison. No major complaints, with the exception that I forgot to request light sauce on the General Taos, which when fulfilled you'll get a perfect ratio between crispy and sweet. So my bad on that. The portion received was huge and tasty, but I could only took a few bites of the cloying sauce. The order of Lemon Chicken had only one chopped up chicken breast sitting on top of a quarter head of chopped lettuce. Taste was good and similar to our previous go to but one chicken breast versus the usual two was out of proportion for the price. In place of our defunct go to, we'll give China Wok a second chance until we find an alternative.

DO NOT order anything from the "Special Summer Menu." It is essentially a bowl of tepid noodles slathered with some horrible commercial sauce and a few vegetables. You can do better at literally any other Chinese take out place in the area for less money. Mine was with some awful peanut sauce that made the dish inedible. These items should not appear on the menu. Also had the greasy scallion pancakes which were served with some sort of indistinguishable sauce (not soy, closer to hoisin, which is not typical). Again, could not finish as they were beyond the grease factor. I wanted to order the vegetable dumplings, which were reliably good, but for some reason did not appear on their automated menu system. Finally, as a Caucasian customer I always enjoy having the racist staff bring me a plastic fork instead of chopsticks. It is the final insult to a mediocre experience.

Is this how it is all the time, or was this a glitch?? Sadly, I will never know because this was a one and done. The rice was good, it saved the day.

Nonetheless, my review here is subjective, or objective based on the reader's interpretation thereof. Eating here brings me back to my high school days. Average looks, average grades, average athleticism, below-average finances but above-average belief in myself to make something of my life. Chinese food was a delicacy, an oasis in my barren life. An escape into the promised land. This place is clean and good. Price is good. They turn on Christian music so the food quality is something I can believe in. Like a Chinese restaurant church.

1 Star I've been…read morecoming to this Chinese restaurant for a long time, and unfortunately after what happened today, I will no longer be returning. I came here with my siblings and everything was fine at first. We had just finished eating and had spent around $40 on our meal, so we were paying customers like any other family who comes in to eat. My 3-year-old brother started making a little noise after we had finished our food. He is a toddler--kids are not always going to sit completely silently or behave like adults. An employee (I'm not sure if she was the owner or a worker) came out and said, "Oh my God, you're so annoying. You're screaming too much. This is a business," and then told us "GO HOME." I found this extremely rude, disrespectful, and completely unprofessional. There are ways to address a situation, especially when dealing with a family and a small child, without insulting a toddler or telling paying customers to leave. We were not being disruptive while eating, causing problems, or bothering anyone. My little brother was simply being a toddler. No 3-year-old is going to sit perfectly quiet and make absolutely no noise. I've supported this business for a long time, but after being treated this way, I unfortunately won't be coming back. Very disappointing experience and completely unnecessary.

I parked and saw the finishing touches on the new restaurant replacing Kung Fu XLB and decided to try a neighbor. Best decision ever: 1) Kan Wah was busy - 16 seats inside were occupied. Phone ringing nonstop. 2) The chefs were crankin' and laughing and having fun while they cooked. 3) a)The owner was a great guy. I opted for the Shrimp in Garlic Sauce lunch special plus extra garlic sauce and broccoli as add ons. A great piping hot entree/dish/ container came out on a red tray in 240 seconds. Tasty! The broccoli was well done.The shrimp pieces were huge, fresh and juicy. The sauce - not sweet or heavy at all. Light n delicious. The pork fried rice was gorgeous. The owner asked to ensure - pork ok? The egg drop soup that came with - best in NY! b) Accommodating owner - elderly local customer came in to eat. She brought her own plates and utensils. He said no worries and served her white rice on one plate and her eggplant in garlic sauce on the other. It was love and joy to see her enjoy her meal. * Ray Ray was inspired! Her dish looked so yummy that I ordered the same to go. c) Truck driver from NJ pulled up and got his favorite beef n broccoli extra extra spicy. d) Mom, Dad and daughter in school uniform came in at 2:35 pm and got some delicious fried chicken with pork fried rice. Yes typical NYC Chinese takeout with the above nice additions in a simple no frills atmosphere but dynamite food. Open at 10:30 . Plenty of free parking on side streets or $1.50 per hour up front.

I used to really enjoy the food, but lately the quality has declined. Some orders were extremely greasy, literally a pool of oil at the bottom, and overall it hasn't been consistent. The bigger issue has been the delivery driver. From what the owner told me, they only have one, and unfortunately he has been unpleasant every time. I hand him the cash for the order and the tip and make it clear. I say, "This is for the order, and this is your tip." Even then, he interrupts me and says things like, "You don't give me a tip. You Americans never tip. You motherf***er. F*** you," even though he literally has the tip in his hand. This has happened multiple times and the language and disrespect are completely uncalled for. I spoke to the owner, who apologized, but the problem continued. Because of this and the decline in food quality, I switched to Panda Garden just 1 to 2 blocks away.

There's more chili flakes on the table as well but I prefer when the seasoning is tossed on as it's grilled. We also ordered the beef noodle soup which was pretty disappointing cause there were only a few very small pieces of beef in it and the flavor was bland. Staff doesn't pay that much attention to you throughout the meal, which is fine, but they were certainly attentive when I was paying tip. They got very aggressive when I wanted to tip pre-tax vs after tax. I wouldn't come back here. I think there are better skewer spots around, especially since Flushing has so many these days.
