Great Forest Food Brooklyn Reviews
If you don’t like pre-made food, this is the spot. The young team in the kitchen clearly loves what they’re doing — you can taste the passion in the food. Downside? Service is slow because they prioritize delivery orders first, then dine-in. The soup wasn’t the best experience either, since they only provide takeaway utensils for dine-in customers. Portions are just enough for one person — slightly on the small side — but the flavor makes up for it. I came for their signature Golden Soup Beef, and it’s hands down their best dish. The fried bullfrog portion was tiny (less than one frog in the whole plate), but the stir-fried rice noodles were legit, with real wok hei. Five stars to support these young entrepreneurs. My tip? Skip dine-in — go for delivery.
The food here is fresh and tastes good. The fish is noticeably fresh, and the portion sizes are generous. Their desserts are also worth trying — the taro paste is especially good. I first visited about three weeks ago and have been back twice since. I definitely plan to continue coming here.
Welcome to Great Forest Food! It is really great! We were really surprised of how the Mala Hotpot tasted. We have been to a lot of places that offer the same but it always comes first in our list. Because of it’s smoky, fragrant and flavorful.
1st having their desert, and I enjoyed it, so refreshing on hot day. My coworker ordered it and got herself a drink. Will keep your body cool and chill. The delivery service is good as he delivered it to the hospital within a time frame . I know my mom will love it because she used to made those deserts at home . I’m sure it will bring back memories. Thanks for keep old tradition alive . I will have to go there In person. And experience the service there.
stongly recommended! I often visit this restaurant recently, the food are super fresh, all taste really good. The service is perfect, the environment is very good. Especially, the dessert call SiGuoTang is really nice! Everyone should try this!

Great dessert slow service
Ordered uber eats and it’s really good!
If you dine in, they still use takeout containers and utensils. The desserts were not too sweet, which is perfect. These desserts are best enjoyed during the summer because they can cool you down. There is hot dessert as well.
Absolutely disgusted. Ordered a taro dessert and fish dish, was disappointed the first time about finding out that the taro dessert looked nothing like the picture on the menu and were no taro balls in the dessert as shown, just tasted like plain milk and taro paste. Then halfway through the fish bowl I found a huge cockroach floating in my dish. Once I confronted about it I didn’t get any apology or response. Never going here again.
ZERO STAR. THE MOST DISGUSTING STORE EVER DONT EVER GO I DONT GAF IM NEVER COMING BACK LIKE JS LOOK AT THIS PLACE LOOK AT THE PHOTO COMPARE THE FOOD IN REALITY (BR IS BAD TOO) Ingredient literally said no taro in it but there was taro in my food and lack of grapefruits, mangos. It looked like I was eating slime. That bowl was nearly $10 not worth it Friends ordered some other and total was $25 for some bullshit💔💔
Eat here if you want cockroaches in your food. How is this restaurant still opening? By feeding customers with bugs and hair? Extra nasty food?

Long wait and disgusting. Found a bug in the drinks. I see others have same review on the bugs. Stay awa!!
The Dry pot pork intestine only has chillies and nothing much to eat. The portion is small for the price. Taste is not special either. Not a good experience.
I bought something and stayed for like 10 minutes and it was a quick dessert and the guy forced me to tip saying it’s the policy and after I did it realized that can’t be possible.
