The flavor of the food was limited, primarily relying on spice packets, which is not perfect idea for such a palce. Unfortunately, this significantly affected the overall experience, so the maximum rating I can give is 3 stars.

The food is super salty to the point I got a tension headache. It is very weird that the food lacks flavor but is very salty.
The short - this place is sub par. It doesn’t even touch how good Big Apple Chinese or China New Star is. First, I ordered boneless spare ribs. What I got was sweet and sour pork. Irritating but it’s fine, I didn’t complain. I just ate it because I like sweet and sour chicken so figured it would be similar. The texture, not great. The sweet and sour sauce is not as thick and much more tangy than standard. Lastly, the broccoli had to be old or reheated. The texture was like it had been frozen and reheated. It’s all quite unfortunate. The quality of the food is low and I wouldn’t order for here again because of that.

I asked for steamed chicken and Chinese vegetable and when I called a giggling teenager answered offering to make it over. Take my order correctly the first time especially when you repeat it to me like your doing me a favor!

Since when are tips left on a credit card are itemized separately and then taxed? Had an order delivered with a tip that was taxed. What's up?
The food is so expensive you would think it would be delicious boy was I wrong. The food was not fresh shrimp was frozen packed it was a disaster 😫 😩
Slowest deliveries of all times. I’m located in Arverne and for the last two times I ordered from here it has taken over an hour and a half to get my food delivered.
We ordered beef and broccoli combo and the food had no taste . Then we ordered egg foo young we told the server that she wanted less pork and extra gravy. When we picked up the food first of all it had no taste and they forgot the extra gravy and no pork in the fried rice. Last time we were there it was a lot better. If you want good Chinese food then 301 is the better choice.
Awful “Chinese” food.Has Always been tasteless. You really can’t find a place to get just Tasty fresh Americanized Chinese food anymore. At least I can’t find it and I’ve stopped looking for it. I know this East Meets West opened up a bunch of places in Queens in Long Island. I see a lot of them have closed. The Rockaways one will stay open because people in the Rockaway’s are not exactly foodies. Mostly city workers.let me elaborate a little bit. Used to love when I was a kid getting shrimp and lobster sauce my dad always ordered it.The shrimp and lobster sauce over here besides lacking in flavor the shrimps I have to assume they’re frozen because at least two of them were so mushy that it was Not edible. The fried rice the roast pork, fried rice, mushy no texture. The general tso shrimp were soft and had no crisp to the coating at all. The hot and sour soup flavorless a bunch of mushrooms on the top floating . The boneless ribs they were so dry And overcooked. They also were not edible. I mean, I can go on cause I’ve never really had anything that was good here, but I kept trying over the years . that’s for the owner in his response and if you haven’t heard that the food has no flavor. You should read the reviews.

Placed an order online, received communication confirming the order. No delivery received. Tried phone number and email with no response on either.
Thanks for the Dinner, I didn't know it came with 2 Roaches!!!
Ordered Food7 and it never arrived and they stopped answering their phones at 830. Says it closes at 9. Don’t suggest supporting this place
Never ordering from here again. The boneless spare ribs were dry , hard and chewy & sauceless. The rice had Zero flavor didn’t taste anything. The fried dumplings soggy and falling apart. Started to question whether or not I was served old food.
Looks like they reset their profile just to still have terrible reviews pile up again. You guys used to be good. The food now is dry, overpriced, and sucks. How you made General Tso chicken taste like cardboard is beyond me. AVOID. Uptown prices with downtown quality.
