Best Chinese Food in Brooklyn?
We’ve never had a local Chinese spot that was worth raving about, but we recently had some above-average take-out from Lichee Nut a Brooklyn Heights spot with a wide delivery radius.

We’ve never had a local Chinese spot that was worth raving about, but we recently had some above-average take-out from Lichee Nut a Brooklyn Heights spot with a wide delivery radius. We didn’t order anything too adventurous on the first time around, but we were very satisfied with what we got the sesame chicken wasn’t gristly; the peanut noodles were served in a very generous portion for only $3.50; and the Szechuan veggie dumplings with hot sesame sauce were downright delicious. It got us wondering what are everybody’s favorite Chinese take-out joints in Brooklyn? And if we’re going to make a trip to Brooklyn’s Chinatown, what are the best eats there?

Diamond on Eight on 8th Avenue near 65th street (Brooklyn Chinatown) is the real deal.
Empire Kitchen 5th ave Brooklyn seriously good quality chinese and super yum. Never feel gross about ordering chinese again. I live outside delivery area now but am stopping there anytime i am in the neighborhood. you have to try it.
Ocean Palace is the real deal Holyfield
5423 8th Ave. (bet.54th & 55th Sts.), Brooklyn, NY
For takeout in Greenpoint you can’t beat Chinese musician
Red Hot in the South Slope
Yummy Taco, I think, has the chinese food, not fresca tortilla.
Chinese Musician in Greenpoint is as good as it gets for 11222. Grace, on Franklin St., is horrible.
Our office used to order from Lichee Nut until roaches began appearing in the dishes. I have also heard this from other people not connected to my office.
My favorite is the Greens on Montague. The best veggie chinese going.
I love Hunan Delight on Union.
