Can I just say how refreshing it is to call a Chinese take out restaurant and not get a cranky person on the call? These people are great on the phone and it's a huge plus.
I'm able to order items that fits within my diet. I usually get their shrimp chow ho fun which was REALLY great. Today, I asked if they could make fried rice with brown instead of white rice which they were willing to do. I mean, which other Chinese take out place would be so accommodating?
This has been a flushing staple since I can remember. The owners of this place were at one time my next doors neighbor. To this day they still make sure that my order is prepared with extra care. The food is great and best of all, affordable.
Go to dish: shrimp lo mein with a side of chicken wings. Sometimes you need to drench the food with a little hot oil just to make sure the spice radiates thoroughly.
Chengs gets 4 stars for one reason only…it really tries to be the best take out restaurant in the area. Food quality is much better than what you can usually expect from a take out joint. My favorite is the chicken with eggplant in garlic sauce. If you need to order take out in this area, this is the best choice.

I stopped by this empty Chinese food place to get a quick snack. I ordered a Roast Pork Appetizer $6. It took 15 minutes to get my food but at least it was fresh. I was not too impressed by the flavor and the meat was a bit tough.
This is my local "GO-TO" spot for Chinese take-out.
I usually order from the Vegetable Section on the menu. 9 out of 10 times it is either the Soft Tofu with garlic sauce over Brown Rice OR Broccoli with garlic sauce over Brown Rice. Gotta get the brown rice to put some healthiness into this Chinese food lol Oh yeah, the vegetables are always FRESH! Oh yes, the garlic sauce is ADDICTIVE!
HE, on the other hand, always orders the Special COMBO Chicken and Broccoli with garlic sauce over Pork Fried Rice that comes with a side of Egg Roll. There's more food for the buck I guess. The chicken is always TENDER! The Pork Fried Rice is FLAVORFUL!
TIP: You can place your order ahead of time by calling their telephone number (718) 445-6888, but they are usually pretty prompt with the food even if you order when you get there.
TIP: They give you a fortune cookie per order. So if you order 2 dishes, you get 2 cookies hehe
NOTE: They do charge you extra for brown rice!
Ending Note: I know, I know fast food is not good for us in general but we seldom eat it, so should it be ok? #please-say-yes #guilty-pleasure #once-in-a-while-craving

I used to love this place. Especially when I've been craving American Chinese food for a while this is my usually place to order my guilty pleasures like beef with broccoli and general tso's chicken. I am struggling a bit whether my taste buds have changed or if the quality of the food of this place has tanked since the last time I was there.
I dunno… everything is as you'd expect but the food quality isn't that great. I suppose what do you expect from a $5.35 lunch special but still!!! I'm thinking maybe they have changed the cook.
