Chinatown Kitchen - Teaneck

My favorite Chinese Food spot. They know my order when I go in and get it right every time. Very friendly and it is a family run business. Food is good. Normal menu.

Anyone who has read a review I have posted knows this stuff already: we are a Chef family and we are not above ordering Take Out as often as possible. Chinese take out is our fave, and for the most part, you can't really go wrong in the Hackensack/Teaneck area for it. But. When you trip upon that jewel, that diamond, amongst all of the dross...when it has been hiding in plain sight..and it ratchets your idea of take out up a few notches, well, my friend, you almost don't write about it. Write I must. Chinatown Kitchen on DeGraw Avenue in Teaneck is simply the best Chinese Food Take Out we have had in the area. In years. And years. Let's go thru the reasons. First of all, the lady in charge is incredibly nice, and I have never seen her NOT smile. Always good natured, always kind, she seems to love what she does and take pleasure in working the counter. And the place is surgically clean. You can choose to eat there; they have a few tables. We choose to take home. Now. The food...they have a dollar Egg Roll that will make you jones for another a day later. Just well put together, what can I say? Dumplings, spare ribs, some magical sesame wonton, shrimp toasts, chicken wings...all so very good. You can't pick a bad appie. We judge Chinese Take out on their Lo Mein, their Mu Shu, and if we are very lucky, there is a Shrimp dish that coats them in a white sauce, usually citrus, coconut or gran marnier flavoured. Here, they have Shrimp in Coconut Sauce. Oh my my. Greatness right there. Never had something like that? Order the damned dish already. Any of their beef dishes are tender and not smothered in veggies, already huge for me. Of note, their Crispy Beef, Mongolian Beef, Sesame Beef. Chicken you can find anywhere and Kitchen's no different with their offerings but it's just done, well, BETTER. Anything pork is always better than anything not pork. When two of us order dinner, we kind of go nuts and have enough for the next evening, so it's not uncommon to ring up a $50 tab. That's a lot of food, dear reader. The free stuff they throw in when you spend certain amounts is really generous and they don't have to do that, but they do. And that $50 tab? We include an order of Steamed Pork Dumplings, which come in the cutest little divider to go container, for our son. And there's enough for tonight...did I mention we were there last night? Yeah......we were. Go and say thank you to the nice lady up front when she hands you that bag of goodness.

I ordered by DoorDash as it is easy. The brown rice was excellent. It was the best Gen-Tso chicken I had for years. the most ordered item for me. It was well seasoned. I dipped my pig rolls into the sauce. The pig dumplings could be a meal in themselves. I'm sure you share it. I'll order again.

The food was tasty. It took a bit long to be served, but we were pleased with the lunch specials. We ordered 5 of them and were satisfied with our meal.

This restaurant serves the best Chinese food in the area, with nothing else coming close. I have several favorites on the menu and have enjoyed everything I've tried here. It can be difficult to decide what to order because everything is so tasty. If you haven't eaten here before, I recommend trying the boneless spare ribs or the spicy garlic chicken and broccoli with your choice of rice. I assure you, it is delicious.
