Chung Hing

I was extremely disappointed. I usually love their egg foo young. This time the egg foo young was horrible! I don't even think it was cooked throughly. Because, when I took the egg foo young out of the container it fell apart and it was so mushy and tasteless. I think I'll give Chung Hing a break for now..

I've grown up on home cooked Chinese meals but still crave good ol' Chinese takeout from the "Americanized" places once in a while. Food is not the best but it's pretty decent for what you would expect from a Chinese takeout place. The lady that takes the orders knows English well and practically memorizes my order by now.

For anyone who's giving this place more than one star……I wish I could have your tastebuds. I've had better Chinese in rougher, dingier parts of Brooklyn than this. I went with my usual- Chicken&Broccoli with Pork fried rice. Pretty hard to mess up something so classic and simple. Damn was I wrong. The rice was practically white, and tasted like it was seasoned with a Lipton soup packet. I already have my suspicions that most chinese take out is made with some form of "mystery meat" but for the most part, when I indulge its an easy enough fact to ignore because its tasty. THIS chicken was like chewing soft cartilage and had me think too hard about what I was eating. FAIL. The only thing decent was the broccoli and honestly, I was expecting that to be a screw up. I had to chug my soda with each bite I took and eventually just threw out what I couldn't bear to eat. If I could give it zero stars I would, but I guess the counter service was okay. This is what I deserve for straying from my favorite corner spot by my home. Never AGAIN. Blegh.

The employees at Chung Hing have a deal with the guy that loiters outside hustling for food and they take a cut of whatever he scams you out of. When I agreed to buy him food, he took me inside and ordered something (he said just "a large" to the lady taking orders) and I was charged $24. When I walked by 30 minutes later, he was chatting with the security guard of the restaurant and still asking people to buy him food. Another lady was questioning the employees about his food and told me she paid $22 to buy him food that never arrived. Disappointing
