THE FOOD ---------------- + Chicken with Garlic Sauce was OK. Lots of sauce to mix with the white rice and plenty of chicken. Pretty much what you would expect from this type of establishment that serves Americanized Chinese food. THE SERVICE ------------------- + Two ladies working inside behind the counter were friendly. + My order came out SUPER fast, within 5 minutes of ordering. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + Restaurant is pretty much a hole in the wall, with just 2 stools to sit on, so all of their business is pretty much takeout. + A buffet lines the wall when you walk in. + Located in the heart of the FiDi feet from Stone St. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS ------------------------------------- + read more

- overall rating: 3.5 - not the most amazing americanized chinese food but perfectly acceptable to fulfill that craving - I've added it to my weekly work lunch rotation - recommend: shrimp w/ lobster sauce w/ brown rice made to order (for a health-ish) option, or the buffet by the lb (options change daily) - made to order is better and you're getting more food for your money in general but if you're not sure what to get, buffet isn't bad read more

So, walked in and ordered, there is a buffet, patrons can walk in and self serve at the buffet. I ordered at the front counter and my food was prepared in the kitchen. I prefer that, freshly cooked. I ordered the Broccoli in Garlic Sauce and two spring rolls. The Brocolli in Garlic sauce, I wish the Brocolli was all green. It was yellowing a bit. The flavor was average. I've noticed the flavoring for this particular dish varies widely across the city. The spring rolls were ok. But to be fair, I did not order a dish with meat. It was basically a vegetable and rice dish. My next order will contain ingredients that will test the flavoring. That will determine how satisified I am... So for now they have landed in the middle with three stars. Also, this resturant was rated with an A at the time of my ordering. I only patronize resturants with A's. read more

I got toogoodtogo with New Golden Chopstick, pick up was quick and simple. :) Staff were friendly! The portions was generous and the food was a lovely surprise.My box had a mix of rice, other proteins (chicken, tofu)and veggies (eggplant, string greens). My favorite was the fried tofu in sauce, it was still crispy. Decor: Classic hole in the wall take out look. read more

I used to go to this place a lot in the early 90's when I worked in the neighborhood. Later I moved to the area and would come here from time to time. It was always a decent buffet. Now that buffets are a thing of the past, as a take out venue it's decent. It would never be my first choice for take out, but as a backup it's fine. I would recommend staying with simple dishes. Anything with a complex sauce I would stay away from. Delivery is quick and it's very inexpensive. read more

$8 - $10 lunch special is ok by me. I work close by and some days just feel like engorging on some sodium laden Americanized Chinese food for lunch. Then go back to my desk and try not to fall asleep. Large menu of items on the lunch menu. Go fatty or go healthy. The choice is yours. There is even a pretty sizable buffet in here so you can mix and match different items. Go crazy! No place to sit, plus it's hot as swamp ass in here anyway, so grab a bench or table outside if the weather is nice. It's small and basically a grab and go joint. read more

I got a bowl from the app TooGoodToGo and it came with a wide variety of dishes all in one to go box. This restaurant is located at the end of stone street and it's a little hole in the wall. Picking up my order was fast and easy. I got it within a minute of getting there. I thought the food was tasty and what you would want from take-out. For the TooGoodToGo box it was like going to a good Chinese buffet and getting a little sampling of everything. read more

The food was pretty middle of the road but the online order was fulfilled really fast and was what I needed at the time. The orange chicken wasn't as sweet and I normally encounter which I was happy about and the spring rolls were excellent-- very crispy and hot. read more

Sometimes you crave Americanized Chinese food. Serve yourself up buffet style, and take your food to go; there's barely room to sit, between the heated platters of food and sweating customers. Yes, it can get hot in here. Yes, you'll feel like their steamed dim sum plates. Pay by weight ($10 credit card minimum) and don't think about how greasy everything else is. Feeling adventurous? Go here after 2 PM to pay a lower rate per pound. Just skip their duck. Lunch only. read more

Terrible, just terrible. How can a simple order of broccoli and garlic sauce taste so bad. I had two bites and decided to trash it. It was a total waste. I won't return. read more

Tucked away in the streets of FiDi, you'll find this little gem. With so much selection, it's hard to narrow down exactly what you want. Pricing is great for both hot buffet-style section (per lb) and menu items. When ordering off the menu, you'll be surprised with generous portions that are well worth your money. They've got tables outside the restaurant as well, so it's a great place to eat on your lunch break. I got some dumplings and chicken lo mein to go, as well as perused the hot bar and grabbed a little bit of everything. They cooked up my food right away and the whole process overall was pleasant and speedy. Hands down the best pork pan-fried dumplings I've had in a long time. Lo mein as well as the hot bar food had great flavor and really hit the spot. I'll definitely be back soon (for those amazing dumplings, especially). read more

Very inexpensive Chinese restaurant/buffet in the Financial District. I usually go for the buffet style and get a mixture of their vegetable lo mein/fried shrimps/fried chicken, which adds up to $5 and change. Nothing exotic, but the food is tasty and fresh. read more

For downtown Manhattan near my job, you can't beat the price & portion & quality. Fast orders. Friendly staff. I'm not sure how much has changed after covid but before that love the buffet portion. You can get a chicken stick for a little over a $1. read more

This place is pretty good for the price you pay. It's &5.99 per pound from 1 to 1:40 pm and then 1:40pm to 3:30pm its 4.99 per pound. Best prime time is after 3:30pm when it's 3.99 per pound. This is much cheaper than the usual options which are usually 10$ per pound etc The general tao chicken is good and so is the spicy chicken and the greens. Fast and good service read more

This has to be the saltiest food I've ever eaten in my life. It literally forced me to do a review as my throat is burning from the salt. Garbage now. Strings beans and some spicy chicken. This should be called heart attack chopstick. Never again. read more

This no-frills, budget friendly buffet in FiDi serves up popular Chinese dishes that are high in flavor and well priced. If you're in a rush and are looking for a good meal, this is a no brainer. The entire process is set up to get you in and out the door before you can say "pork fried rice"... Which, by the way, is excellent here. read more

You can't have the same name as a joint I used to frequent in Central Pennsylvania and be WORSE than the place in PA when you are in NYC! What's the deal, Golden Chopstick? I order shrimp and broccoli everywhere. I have not been to a single Chinese takeout place in my entire life where I have not tried their "version" of this dish. Version is a loose term here - shrimp and broccoli is almost the same at every restaurant, give or take a variation on whether the shrimp is steamed, stir-fried, battered, twice-fried, etc. Each restaurant can take creative liberties there. It's always de-veined, large-to-jumbo shrimp. The broccoli is usually crunchy but never raw, occasionally overcooked at a subpar establishment. Enter Golden Chopstick.* I should have taken a picture (which I still technically can - I tossed half of it in the trash and I am not a food-waster, to the point of much criticism - but I'll spare you the image). The shrimp was tiny, clearly once frozen and not properly defrosted; it possessed that soggy, smushy quality that only boiled shrimp might. A few were aggressively vein-y: the tract bulbous and black in spots...way to ruin an appetite if I wasn't desperately hungry. I did skip over those, though. The broccoli ranged, from raw to undercooked to overdone. The sauce had a blend of different flavors than I was used to, which I could accept if they had been executed better. The sauce was runny (no cornstarch thickener, not necessarily a bad thing), but not oily, which would be the highest compliment I can offer. However, I'll take a little fat if it also offers up flavor. I chewed my third bite, telling a coworker that this was rather disgusting but I'll probably finish a good portion of it because my lunch hour came three hours late today, and I was desperate. I even tried to be savvy and at least stomach all the shrimp so I'd at least ingest the most expensive part of my dish. With regard to total volume, I tossed about $4.50 of the $6.95 spent into the wastebasket. That could have been another sandwich. *Clearly they are more equipped to handle the buffet-style/"salad bar" lunch crowd, but that also looked extremely unappetizing and dehydrated by the time I was able to get away from my desk. read more

I like this place. Good selection of the usual General Tso's type and some authentic dishes which are written in Chinese. Price is somewhere in the middle. They have a decent selection at the steam table, 6.89 per pound. Got the Eggplant in Garlic Sauce with Shredded Pork. Enough flavor. I definitely wouldn't call their food bland. The place is small so I usually wait outside since it gets packed during lunch time. read more

I eat here for lunch. It's buffet style and you pay by the pound. It's a little pricey in my point of view. The food is typical Chinese take out food and the cashiers are very quick. They have a decent variety of vegetables and meats. read more

Eating the won ton soup right now to hopefully cure my hangover from imbibing at the fiancee's boss' house last night. the won tons are really nice and light, not weighty, dough-heavy dumplings. i currently cannot attest to their restorative properties. their buffet is standard, and often quite tasty. prices go down $.80 on the buffet after 2 for those late lunches. read more

Price is very good. 4.75 for a quart of wonton noodle soup. The soup has no taste but the wontons in it are good. I probably wont be coming back here. at least not for the soup maybe for the buffet. I had massive amounts of diarrhea from eating this soup. read more

This is a decent Chinese-American PATP (pay by the pound) place in downtown Manhattan. It has the usual Chinese-American dishes you might expect at your local Chinese takeout. The service was at most, good and efficient. If you arrive here after 3pm, they discount the per pound price to $5.29, a very reasonable price. The food was tasty, nothing special. The seafood fried rice is good, but the bok choy and the string beans were old. The spicy chicken was good, as well as the char siu, which was made of pork belly due to how tender it is. However, the chili oil they provide is weird for my taste and really spicy. The dumplings were average, but the dumpling sauce was good. I would come back again for the special if I'm in the area. read more

I have eaten here for lunch a few times and its buffet style is not bad at all. It is best to come early because they run out certain foods quickly. The place is very small. So, if you expect to sit and have lunch, there is no need. They do have about two or three bar stools at the window. The buffet is by the pound and it can be pricey if you are a big eater. They have a decent variety of meats and vegetables. It is the typical Chinese takeout place and for what you get in this area, it's not bad at all. read more

This place sucks for a Chinese takeout place. The only reason its alive and kicking is because there are NO good Chinese takeouts in the area. They have a lunch buffet full of greasy, disgusting food. The beef in the 'fun' tasted like its been refridged and reheated many times over. The fried dumplings was overly greasy. The fried rice was simply oily and hell, its not even fresh rice as part of it was already hard and stale. Oh yea the price is high too (but still $, despite listing as $$ on Yelp.) You get a discount if you get buffet after 2:30pm. But who wants the leftover of leftovers... read more

Tried this place's buffet out for lunch today, very disappointed! Cons: small selection of items (standard American Chinese options such as general tso chicken, lo mein etc.), tiny place so was super crowded and disorganized, food was BLAND! Thankfully I grabbed packets of soy sauce, hot mustard, and hot sauce... but not enough to "cover" everything. Pro: cheap. Don't bother! read more

Typical greasy Chinese place that I use to satisfy my greasy Chinese food cravings while I'm at work. They have your typical appetizers, noodle soups, etc. and lunch specials at just under $7, but it seems that the hot buffet station is maybe more worth it. The lunch special doesn't come with any spring roll or soup like I'm used to. I ordered the sesame chicken lunch special and it was seriously just a box with rice and sesame chicken.. ugh, I need my veggies! My variety!! While the hot buffet seemed a little MEH as well, it seemed a lil more tantalizing given the different choices. At $5.99/lb (and $4.99/lb after 2pm), it may actually be the better deal. read more

Found our new go-to Chinese takeout spot! My husband picked up our to-go order two nights ago and we had a great dinner (& I enjoyed leftovers for lunch the next day!). They have a huge selection and I was pleased to see one of my favorites, Moo Goo Gai Pan, on the menu. It was excellent as was his shrimp dish. We also enjoyed two egg rolls and the pork fried rice. The prices aren't cheap but aren't ridiculous either. They included a face mask which I thought was a nice touch. Will definitely order from here again. read more

Hands down best Chinese takeout around the financial district. I usually get their general tso chicken with pork fried rice or their buffet for a quick in and out lunch break. The order portions are good so it's definitely worth getting if you're hungry and have a chinese food craving! There's outdoor seating as well. read more

Super Golden Chopstick - General Tos Chicken with Pork Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

I go here everyday at 12 pm when the buffet is still good and I'll hit 1 pound which is around 5-6$. For the food you are getting it is an amazing deal. If I ever crave Chinese after lunch 3-5pm I usually don't get from the buffet even though it is a lot cheaper. I usually go on the menu and get general so or sesame chicken. the service is average but the food is amazing! read more

I'm really not a huge Chinese food fan, save 3 a.m. drunk deliveries of sesame chicken. In fact, I prefer Vietnamese food to the generic "Americanized" Chinese food. However, I found myself in lunch drought, seeking a little variety (after all it's the spice of life). I decided I'd venture into New Golden Chopsticks based on the convenient location in relation to my 9 to 5. The food here isn't amazing by any stretch of the imagination, and I don't venture to eat the buffet, but I have had the wonton noodle soup, which was extremely satisfying (cost: $4.75). I've also dined on the sesame chicken lunch special (cost: $5.95 + $1 for chicken fried rice rather than white rice). I might consider eating at the buffet just to play the scale game, to see if I could eat lunch for under five dollars, but I know my body would hate me for such infantile amusement. I know I have a problem because I could eat sesame chicken five times a week, but I always get that feeling in the pit of my stomach, almost as if the organ is saying, "Stop eating this SH!T you D!CK, you're killing me." I silence that annoying bastard with another heavily sauced piece of sesame chicken. I typically follow a New Golden Chopsticks trip with a Friday night trip to the bar, just so I can equally punish my liver - because I don't discriminate like that. This place is good because it is not a deli and they don't really cater to all of the healthy grass eaters that care so deeply about their figure. Go to Zigolini's if you want salad. I'll stick with soup and sesame chicken. This place is a grab and go establishment, but they have a huge menu and even cater to dieters w/ brown rice and veggies and an entire healthy choice menu. This place has every typical variation on chow mein, lo mein, chow mei fun, noodle soup, egg foo young, pork, beef, chicken, and shrimp. Happy (belated) New Year! The year of the rat. read more

My boss recommended this place to me and basically to anyone. I finally tried out this place one Friday and it's cheap and delicious. Also not overly oily. I always get a small container and fill it up with beef chow fun (basically just beef and noodles stir fried), pork dumplings, sesame chicken and fried chicken. Typically it would end up costing me between $3-$5. Definitely a great place for cheap yummy food. read more

Ordered Chinese takeout from here and what a great deal-- $7.75 for lunch special! There's a variety of authentic Chinese options in the buffet.

This place is cheap, fast, and delicious! A great lunch for a rainy fall day in FiDi.

Cheap spot for greasy chinese food. I like their beef noodle soup, but am not a fan of their buffet station. I love salad bars, and try to stay away from unhealthy and greasy food. It's hard to do that with this place around. It's reasonably priced and better than other chinese take out places, but it's still just greasy fast food. read more
