After a day at Rockaway beach I did a quick Yelp search for a good takeout place with a couple of self-serve tables. Had I looked beyond the star-rating and read reviews I'd have known that AA Chinese isn't at all like that. It's spacious, very clean and nicely decorated, with wait service, a large restroom, and unfortunately a pricey menu. The location is good, near street parking and the Beach 90th St subway.
Once my party of 7 was seated happily at a nice round table with our menus we decided it was preferable to stay and order conservatively than to pick up and look for a cheaper place. We got main dishes but no starters or sides. Eggdrop for $7? Ridiculous! Dishes with meat are $14-16 and up. Now, checking out their online menu, I see that a small size is available for $11-12 but that's not mentioned on the dine-in menu. Veggie entrees are reasonably priced at $8. My eggplant & tofu was delicious. Everyone else enjoyed their food as well, mostly chicken & broccoli. It was a nice dinner but $100 plus tip is a lot for a casual after-beach family meal.
Another drawback: once in a while someone at the takeout window buys a bubble tea or smoothie. The machine makes loud annoying noise, but the staff are pleasant and efficient so whatchagonnado? Not sure if I'll be back.
