Top tier chinese takeout. Staff is lovely. Great food. Inexpensive.
Best Corner Chinese food in NYC haven’t tasted a better Chinese food yet. The bbq Wings is a must try
Vincent and Steven is a very naughty boy. Clennea is the best out of all of them.
Best Chinese take out ever tasted hands down!!
The delivery guy came all the way upstairs, I wasn't expecting that I was going to come down. Service over the top, food I ordered with the sauce marvelous (chief kiss) .
LEGIT AMAZING!! I don’t eat Chinese food. I ended up here one day because i was at the light and my lunch break had 15 mins left. Hands down the best Chinese restaurant chicken I’ve had in a while. Once in a blue if I’m in the area and pressed for time I come here for wings and fries. And ONLY here is where I go.
Got the lunch special with the boneless spare ribs, chicken with mixed vegetables and wonton soup all for 20$. The wontons were actually decent was very surprised. Everything is good.
favorite chinese place around by far. amazing prices, good portions, not a long wait time, honestly the best boneless spare ribs i have ever found, and the people working there are so kind
Best Chinese food in New York. We have traveled by bus, passing many Chinese restaurants just to come back to John’s. It’s worth it every time!
The food here is great & the lunch special is a deal. Would def recommend the boneless spare ribs, wonton soup, and beef with mixed vegetables
First timer here. The food was great and delivery was quick. Will definitely be ordering again.
Been eating here for almost 2 Decades. One of THE BEST Chinese Food spots in NYC and that's saying something. A Crown Heights staple. True Masters of flavor. I bring friends from other boroughs and they say its the best they've ever had. Same workers all these years, same great taste. Get anything, doesn't matter, you'll be satisfied
They really hook you up with those big portions. For my Veg friends out there the general tso vegetarian chicken is some of the best I’ve had. Ps. It’s cash only but they have an ATM
The restaurant delivers on taste while keeping things upbeat. This place has achieved service nirvana. You won't discover comparable meals around the city. The flavors impress and the environment enhances them. I'm coming back without question.
Great wings, great general tso and crab rangoon. They’re great people, very kind. One of the best chinese in the area, good price.
John Garden is my go to Chinese Food Spot in Crown Heights! Great food with an even better price! Wonderful customer service!
great wing reasonable prices
Love this resturant found them about 2 or 3 months ago while driving in the area. They make some of the best BBQ Spareribs,they make them the right way which is under the broiler plus they have meat on them, they don't serve you bones like most Chinese takeout restaurants I've been to. Haven't tried alot on the menue but what I have tried I enjoyed and prices are reasonable Nice attitude over the phone which is always a plus. The Spare Ribs are the BEST!!!

Good food, chicken wings could be better.
Fast and friendly services
Great local Chinese restaurant. Best for takeout or delivery.
Good fresh food. Appearance needs to be renovated though.
Really kind people, good food
This place used to be a good value, but recently their prices have skyrocketed $13 for wings and pork fried rice is pretty ridiculous to be hungry again in two hours

Their chicken wings are always delicious.
Decent price for a quick meal
More better than the other Chinese restaurants in the neighbourhood.
Wings taste like soy sauce
Not the best chinese food around. Number 1. was closed so I chose here. I was really disappointed.
They are charging too much for what they're serving. They went from not very good to quite bad.
Im from out town stop here for a shrimp basket with rice not all that . it didn't tasty that good the shrimp tasted a little old and the rice how can they go wrong if you know what I'm saying .

Muy mal servicio, suelo comprar seguido quick a docimilio, doy propina cuando tengo la oportunidad de dar sin ver el servicio fue bueno o malo, pero hoy que no tube para dar propina el delivery fue muy grosero, en su idioma me reclamo y era obvio que estaba molesto por su tono de voz y expreciones, una guardia me tradujo y me dijo que él me pedia mas dinero, propinas, yo le dije que no tenía literal la guardia tuvo que darle de su bolsillo porque el estaba reclamando en un tono muy alto y molestoso, mi molestia es porque exigen algo que es opcional, la propina se gana y es depends si el cliente quiere dar o no, eso no se excuse, tienen que hablar con sus Trabajadores
If I COULD GIVE NO STARS I WOULD .
I was really disappointed.never again !
The food is getting worst! Tasteless and horrible! Never going back !
They give horrible portions I order shrimp broccoli and I got a few pieces shrimp and few pieces broccoli. Rip off go to a different store.

Entered here during hours of operation to order food only to be denied service. The restaurant was empty and upon attempting to order one the people working there blatantly ignored me while wearing headphones even when I tried to get his attention multiple times
Tried to order delivery. I live less than 10 minutes away from the restaurant and they said they won’t deliver. LESS THAN TEN MINUTES AWAY.
