Sometimes sugary-sauced sesame chicken, pork fried rice and fried pork dumplings are the only things that can ease the pain of the Rangers losing yet another overtime game.
Hunan Delight has you covered here. It isn't winning any awards, but it's cheap, delivery is quick, and it's the best of its ilk in the Slope.
Also, eating it on a regular basis will probably speed you on your journey toward obesity, if you're getting impatient.
In the search for the best Chinese delivery in my neighborhood (Cobble Hill), my girlfriend and I one night took the 3 best reviewed places that could delivery to our address and ordered the same thing from all three places (pork fried dumplings, chicken lo mein, and general tso's chicken with brown rice) and had a taste test. We tried Happy Garden, China Wok, and Hunan Delight. All three had the same size and quality of brown rice and arrived in 26-32 minutes. Here I present the other conclusions of that test:
Happy Garden: In the middle in terms of pricing (China Wok was $17ish, Happy Garden was $23ish, and Hunan was $27ish). They used reusable plastic containers for 2 of the 3 dishes but they were too thin and cheap to actually use again. The general tso's chicken was made with bite sized pieces but was very average in that there was a lot of breading that was not crispy and they used cheap cuts of chicken and included very few pieces of broccoli. The sauce was sweet with no kick or real flavor to it. The lo mein was also very average. They were our number one choice for dumplings. The dough was properly thin and they used tasty meat and included a decent dipping sauce. Unfortunately they were no longer crispy but that could be expected from delivery I suppose.
China Wok: This was the least expensive of the bunch. Everything came in the typical disposable tin containers. The general tso's chicken had larger pieces than Happy Garden and more broccoli but was also average at best in terms of quality and taste. The lo mein wasn't that good as the noodles were thin and not chewy the way lo mein should be. The dumplings were also extremely doughy, the meat had little flavor, and they did not include any dipping sauce. They too were not crispy at all and did not seem like they ever were. We threw these away. They were the only one of the three to include a can of soda but did not let us know this ahead of time so they chose Pepsi for us (which neither of us drinks).
Hunan Delight: At over $27 this was the most expensive of the three places. It did end up being our favorite of the three but not by much. They included a nice thick reusable plastic container for the two main dishes. They were the only one of the three to include fortune cookies. Their general tso's chicken also lacked a crispy texture or high quality chicken but their sauce had slightly more flavor to it, though not by much. The lo mein came with properly thick and chewy noodles with the best flavor. It also came with a bunch of mushrooms which could be a pro or con depending on who you ask, we're not big mushroom eaters but picking them out wasn't a problem. The dumplings were disappointly doughy but had much better flavor and better seasoned meat than China Wok and came with a dipping sauce. The downside besides the non crispy thick dough was that they only gave 6 dumplings while the other two had 8.
The conclusion was that if we're hankering for dumpling delivery Happy Garden is the way to go, if we want chicken lo mein then Hunan Delight is the best choice, and if we want general tso's then it's really a crap shoot as no one in our neighborhood seems to excel at this dish, a slight edge goes to Hunan for flavor while if price and having a bit more broccoli is important, China Wok would be the better choice. We'll definitely have another round with the next best 3 choices but it will be awhile before we can justify gorging ourselves on Chinese like this again.
This is the best Chinese takeout in the area. The food is not greasy at all, always fresh and flavorful. The chicken dishes especially are always made with white meat (besides a specified few) and fresh veggies. They listen to request too… we always order "light oil" because we like the flavor of the sauces but not all the added oil and cornstarch.
The Ginger Chicken is our favorite, it has just the right amount of ginger spice. The honey chicken is also very good, but definitely not as healthy. I love, love, love their wonton soup here. I don't know why it tastes so much better than other places in the area but it just does!
When you eat at the restaurant, they give you a complimentary pot of green tea and some crispy noodles with dipping sauce.
-1 star because the prices are definitely higher than the other Chinese takeout in the area. Two dishes will cost you around $30.
Man I'm on the fence about this place! When I first found it on yelp I was so excited based on the reviews! I was sure I found the best chinese food in Brooklyn not to mention they have vegetarian options which made me leap for joy!
It was a rainy night and after all the moving me and my boyfriend did the only thing that would satisfy is us was sugary, savory hot chinese food.
We ordered the veggie dumplings and the general tso faux chicken and the faux curry chicken with brown rice. We got it home ready to devour it and sadly we were let down. The food just was not good. The dumplings were doughy, chewy and just way too thick to enjoy. The general tso wasn't crispy or flavorful it was just blah… The curry was ok but the soy chicken was chewy… Also while we were inside the floors were dirty and the service wasn't so friendly… Not to mention for 3 items we paid 38 dollars for takeout…. I may give them another chance but I am in no rush.
Grabbed a dinner combo when we were moving into our place. The guy was there within 10 minutes of hanging up the phone. The food was great and fresh (orange chicken with fried rice).
The only downfall for me was the soup. I ordered the egg drop soup and while hot (blindingly hot – wait a while) it didn't have a ton of flavor. I plan on trying some other soups too.
Food is great, service is lightning fast, and it's right in my hood.
Best fried pork dumplings I've had in Brooklyn. Extremely fast & friendly service. Lots of space. Really hits the spot when its Friday and you're looking for a pig-out date night for cheap. I shall return.
our favorite chinese for delivery, I would say the only one we call so far.
Must order?! shrimp dumplins, huge, many, good. Boneless ribs, or bone-in (boneless are many, smaller pieces, different marinade), Singapore Mei-Fun, chinese garlic broccoli. Yummy. Service is always perfect, always 5 minutes ahead, never a mistake so far.
I eat here all the time food is yum and veggies are crisp. This is important because a lot of Asian restaurants give you rubbery frozen veggies. I love the soup and the little crispy noodle chips they put out for the table as well.
Actually never had a drink here so I can't speak for that part. There is no actual bartender so if you do it's probably best to stick with wine and straight mixes…
The portions are big, I always have leftovers.
The staff is not rude but very quiet. They don't say much besides
Hello, Thank you, you're welcome, see you soon.
Never had any issues and I've been coming here for years.
Also they have a little outdoor seating on side.
