Mr. Chang Halal Chinese

While making my way around Steinway Street in Astoria Queens I came across something I've never experienced before which was a restaurant that says Halal Chinese. I never seen a halal Chinese spot before so I decided I'd step in to see what's going on. The outside wasn't so decorative which is cool but the awning was very nicely decorated. When I stepped in it was a nice quiet place not many people were there at all. I was greeted by two young ladies and they took my order. I ordered the Mongolian chicken. Once the order was placed I didn't wait very long I'll say maybe about 8 minutes and the food was ready hot steamy and very flavorful the only problem is it wasoily and salty. I believe because of the source I'm not sure if they use soy sauce in it but it was a bit salty for me. I believe that I will order it again and inform them if they're using soy sauce is no reason for salt and if they are using soy sauce then next time use less. But the chicken tasted wonderful. I've had Mongolian chicken before and the chicken was very rubbery from another restaurant in Chinatown. The scallions were sliced to perfection as well as the purple onions. The rice was fluffy but not what I was used to from some of the place I've been. This is a new restaurant in the strip and it makes for a pleasant place to stop for a bite to eat if you want to change from the shawarma and gyros usually offered on the block. I think I will make another visit and try another dish. I will get back with you with another review. Good job on the eats.

I’m not sure what all the bad reviews are about-we almost didn’t give it a try but soooo so glad we did. The food here was phenomenal! The Mongolian beef was soo tender and flavor it’s def a must try. Beef broccoli and chicken broccoli were also really good as well. Service was amazing and our waitress (nurin?) was super kind and even gave us taro ice cream on the house. Which also was amazing! My new fav spot . Best part it’s all zabiha . Go you won’t regret it!

Idk about these bad reviews because I didn’t try the food, but the place is nice, it’s new to the area. I tried the large coconut milk tea boba and it was really good for $6.80, would definitely come back for it again.

2nd time at this place, I live in NJ and it is definitely worth the trip.. the food is amazing, the duck is great.. the friendliest waiters Nuren and Aachal. Definitely would recommend this place..

This is my 1st experience in this Restaurant...and i wish i can say something nice about this place from bad service to bad food and worst presentation of food. This is the only place serve Halal Duck in NYC. I was quiet happy to try one untill they tell me they out of it. I order Chilli Beef and Mangolian chicken alone with hot n Sour soup instead. In addition i order couple of juice tea with light ice. After few minutes of wait they serve food...both main Entrees were soaked in oil badly, Soup was extremely Sour...drinks were full of ice and they gave dessert plates instead of regular serving plates. I address these issues to server,he said sorry and get vanished. Me and wifey gave up after few bites. I pay the bill and walk out...Lady on register nice enough not to charge for drinks. One and done...not going back.

With the new management, completely different recipe, very salty. We actually used to order from here weekly before they temporarily closed and now with new management. Sad to say but we’ll have to look elsewhere. Also the portions were very small. Previous management would pack the whole box completely. Not anymore I guess. TL;DR - new management, very salty and small portion food

Got the General Tso's combination platter for lunch with egg drop soup. Everything had good flavor. Good portion size for the price ($10). Staff was very friendly. Will be back to try other dishes for sure.

This place serves halal food.  Whole place are clean and tidy.The food is excellent.   It's hard to find such authentic Szechuan Chinese food around the area.
recommended!!

The food here is amazing authentic Chinese food and halal! My new favorite spot great customer service and a great chef!

Love it!! Love the atmosphere, the food. So fresh and tasty. This is real Chinese ❤️👌👌. Very nice woman at the counter helped me come to my decision. Definitely my new favorite.

Halal Chinese Kitchen is officially under new management as of 18th April 2022. The new management will continue selling Halal products ONLY.

Decoy

As someone who grew up eating authentic Peking duck in Beijing, I have finally found a restaurant with comparable quality!

The duck skin is crispy and the meat is tender and cut with evenly between fatty pieces and lean pieces. The sauce is perfect and the cucumbers and spring onions are fresh which you rarely see in NYC 'Peking duck' places. My only complaint is that the wrappers were more akin to pancakes instead of the light airy crepes that I'm used to. Regardless, amazing duck and staff was very friendly and attentive!

Pretty good! The duck was really tasty, although the pancakes were different from what they usually give you and the sauce was not flavorful enough. It is also pretty pricy. Still, delicious duck.

I have been coming to Decoy for years and it’s the only Peking Duck place I would go as an authentic Chinese. I have brought multiple of my family members from China to decoy whenever they come to NYC to visit me, they all love the nice tweak from a true Peking Duck from Beijing. The duck is always very well-roasted with juicy fat and crispy skin. I always wish there’s more no matter how many ducks we get. You do have to reserve it though when you make your reservation, I have gone to the place multiple times per-pandemic and they were sold out of ducks at 6:30 already without a reservation. The sauces are very tasty as well. Many of their other appetizers are amazing, the strawberry fro gras is crazy good, oxtail dumplings and some others are very tasty. The fried rice is also surprisingly good. I normally would not order fried rice (because it’s just very difficult to find any actual good fried rice) but they actually have very aromatic fried rice which is so rare. Anyways, no matter if you are looking for something adventurous and authentic or if you are just going for a nice American Chinese this is one of the best you can find in NYC.

We booked a reservation for Decoy over a week in advance. Once we arrived, we were informed by the hostess that Decoy was booked for a private party. We forced into walk-in sitting, a large-crowded communal seating table. Frustrating experience, we left before ordering.

Best Peking Duck in the City! Decoy is a extension of Red Farm in West Village and we’ve made it a tradition to go for Peking Duck every Christmas Eve and it never disappoints.

Unfortunately, as a result of the pandemic, ambiance and service have taken a hit. For an Americanized fusion restaurant like this, it’s off-putting to see takeout orders stacked on the communal table in the center of the restaurant, making it look more like a restaurant in Chinatown. Everyone was very nice, but service is a little all over the place. Besides the duck, the other dishes are just okay and not a good value for the price. Not certain if the UWS location offers the duck, but the ambiance at that location (pre-Covid, at least) is much better.

We use Marinated & Grilled Creekstone Rib Steak and Grilled Prime Creekstone Bone-In N.Y. Strip Steak which are Halal.

Why haven't I been here before?!! This was by far one of the best foods I have ever had. Everything we ordered from the crispy chicken to the noodles was well seasoned and a mouthful of flavor. The chef was extremely nice and welcoming and gave us good recommendations to try with kids. It's a great restaurant to bring your family and friends.

This spot is warm, cozy and joyous. The staff are incredibly kind, the portions generous and the food truly unmatched with all types of flavor. Your body and soul will thank you for such wholesomeness

Authentic food. Fresh ingredients. Halal. Famly run. What else can you ask for. Top 5 all time Chinese spots in the city. Cant find better northwestern Chinese food.

The food was so good. Highly recommend this place. Had a large chicken plate and it was good for two people. Also had the noodles and the dumplings. The food is all Halal. I plan to come again and recommend others to try

Large portions guaranteed to have you leaving with a food coma. I like to call it the night ender, because you’ll prob end up too lazy to do anything else after.

It’s a typical size nyc restaurant. We were promptly seated upon arrival and spent a bit of time looking through the menu. Ended with a variety of items but the two stand outs were the big plate chicken and crispy baked buns with protein. I’d venture to say these two dishes alone can feed 4 people even with selecting the smaller portion size. It has the trademark cumin flavor and the noodles was soft but still with good texture to chew on. The chicken, tender and spicy.

All the dishes tasted authentic. Def a good spot to get your fill and maybe also have some leftovers for tomorrow. Good price to boot.

LULU ASIAN KITCHEN

Had the pleasure of going there right before pandemic. We liked it so much that we went there twice. Overall, Great food and very friendly service. On the side note & a suggestion, reconsider the extra fees for bringing the cake to the table. This kinda kills the vibe for many because those who host large gathering are usually generous with tips.

Fantastic food and I always have an amazing experience at this restaurant. They have different "tiers" of spice which is great if you're an individual that loves spicy food. Highly recommended! Staff is prompt and wonderful as well. Thank you.

I went here a while ago and was really satisfied by the food. Tasted like authentic Chinese food. The only thing I did not like was the flat noodles, they were too chewy. But other than that, everything else was really good.

Nice place with really good food. Service was amazing considering that there was only one person working. My man Rafi took orders, made the drinks, brought the food out, promptly provided receipts and made sure everyone was satisfied all at once. Really impressed by the service. Had a chill atmosphere. It got louder as more people came in, but was overall pleasant.

Staff was amazing. Definitely provided more than we bargained for. Pineapple fried rice and pad thai were excellent. We ended up ordering it twice. Definitely a nice spot with good prices and tasty food. Would recommend and go again.

Potala Restaurant

Very good Tibetan restaurant for Momo(dumplings). Cozy and clean, people are friendly. 

We had beef and chicken Momo. So delicious! Even the sayce was so good and fresh!

Potala is named after Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet.  It's easy to confuse it with the Potala Fresh Momo which is a food truck that you will inevitably pass by as you make your way to this restaurant from Broadway.  Beyond that, it wasn't easy for me to find it either based on the address because it's actually on 37th Rd, not 74th St.  Nevertheless, it's a lot easier to find than Lhasa which is another momo place I've tried less than half a block away.  It's also much brighter and open than Lhasa.

The owner was friendly as he took my order. The momos are made to order and you can see your momo being wrapped and steamed through the ordering window.  For this reason, expect to wait a bit especially if it's busy. But you can expect as fresh a momo as you can get any where in the world.  The menu is creatively displayed on the steamers hung on the wall, one item per steamer.  There're no prices, but all momos come in set of 8 and are all $6 per order.

The plain red chili sauce is the only thing that come with your order.  I had thought the butter tea was complimentary but it costs $1. Take it and pay it as gratuity. Worth a try if you've never had salty milk tea before.

We had beef and chicken momos. Can't argue with their freshness, but I feel the momos can be made more soupy, the chicken filling was too way dry, and they can provide better sauce.  In hindsight Mixed Beef & Veg (chive) momos might have been a better choice.  While quite nice, there are so many momo places in Jackson Heights, I am going to try them all before coming back.

Lovely food! The dumplings were so good, looking for similar in UK

Small place, delicious momo's. Authentic Nepalese food. Liked beef momo's best. Frozen momo's can be purchased in 50 qty.

The momo's are might not be very appealing looking but it tasted really good. The size of the  momos were lil smaller than the regular size and also has lil thik layer of it but the stuffing was really good. I had the beef momo and I really liked it.

Halal Dynasty Restaurant

I have ordered over the phone. I said I was going to pick up at 8pm and the lady said it’s all set. My husband waited over an hour to pick up the food. It’s completely unacceptable! I mean how can you say it’s ok to be picked up and cook it after an hour! Learn to value customers and their time! HIRE MORE PEOPLE OR SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN SIMPLE!!! Completely disgusting and unacceptable!!!! UNPROFESSIONAL and stupid!

They delivered the food like this and when I complained to them they said bring the food back for a refund. So I ordered delivery and I have give my time to compensate for your poor services? Additionally they don’t seem capable of following simple instructions like call and don’t ring the bell at 11 pm at night when everyone in the house is sleeping. This place use to be good in all aspects but something changed and my past few experiences have been rolling downhill to this point. It isn’t my fault they didn’t hire enough drivers for a Friday night your manager needs to be scolded not me. Terrible customer service with those type of manners could they even be Muslim?

Waited over an hour for my food to be ready. Called for pickup exactly an hour and 5 mins before too. People came after me, waited on line and got their food before me. Not what I had expected. Prices are way too high as well compared to before. Food sucks. Horrible customer service and wait time. Just not right especially during a day of Ramadan.

Food was very delicious and portions were nice. This is authentic Halal Chinese food. Staff is courteous and quick.

The food is really good. But the people that deliver are the worst. They are are rude and forced me for tips. It’s supposed to be free delivery. At the place it self they don’t accept card. This makes it inconvenient for people paying with credit/debit card. When calling in it’s so loud. Other then that love the place. Today the delivery man was nice but still wanted tips....
