🫤 This place used to be my favorite spot in coney, they recently changed management and you can tell. The food portions are smaller and they don't taste the same. I am so disappointed with the recent change. 😞 please bring back the old chefs. The egg rolls are smaller and my old favorites the chicken... People often mention chicken, good, taste, Chinese, nosh, price,

I am so disappointed with the recent change. 😞 please bring back the old chefs. The egg rolls are smaller and my old favorites the chicken dumplings do not taste the same, they are also smaller and mine where overcooked. Very disappointed in the "new" Chow time.

    Super friendly staff. Food was GREAT and they fill it up as much as they can. I ordered rice 🍚 broccoli 🥦 and chicken 🍗 and a honey dew milkshake. It was great 👍😃 total was 17 bucks. Only bad thing is they don't have too much space for inside eating

    I moved to New York a few months ago Since then I’ve tried just about every Chinese place in Brooklyn that delivers to/is a reasonable distance from Coney Island/Brighton beach etc The majority of them were terrible and overpriced, often inedible ie I would literally take a bite or two, throw it away and get something else instead, how they all remain open, I have no idea. For me it comes down between chowtime and chap a nosh More options, Higher price, quality and taste (chap a nosh) Fewer options, Lower price, quality and taste (chowtime) They both have their plus and minuses I rotate between the two depending on mood and how much I feel like spending Chowtime is much cheaper with $8~ entrees vs chap a nosh $22~ entrees, but in turn the chicken quality, chicken is more mushy/lesser texture, breading is never very crispy, and flavor is the general tso and sesame chicken is fairly bland, not unique or memorable vs chap a nosh better chicken, crispy breading and stronger flavors, but both acceptable and edible at different price points I wish chowtime would add a sweet and sour chicken entree I wish chowtime would use the star shaped wonton wrappers on their crab Rangoon as many others do, their filling is good, but the wrapper they use now is never crispy and lacks a decent flavor, their filling + better crispier wrapping would make them one of the best around Both places fried rice are nearly the same, with with chowtimes $7~ vs chap a nosh $17~ chowtime definitely wins I usually always get chicken fried rice, two chicken entrees and crab Rangoon or potstickers which results in: Chowtime: $30~ Chap a nosh: $72~ I really wish one could mix good quality with reasonable price, but until/unless that ever happens there’s a pretty big disparity

    Today was my 1st time going there and let me tell you this place is amazing. They are very clean and their food is amazing. The chicken is fresh and their bubble tea is amazing. I highly recommend this place if your in the area. Their customer service skills is on point. You won’t regret it trust me 😀

    I don’t know why this place has such good reviews. This wasn’t my experience at all. Banana Milk Tea: sour and undrinkable. Taro Milk Tea: Just okay, but low quality. General Tso’s Chicken: Good. The only good item. Not crispy, but dealwithable. Chicken Pho: Chicken was undercooked and the broth (which was supposed to be beef broth) tasted intensely of fish. It was essentially fish broth, and I hate fish. I felt like I was going to be sick when I tasted it. And last, Cheese Wontons: Mine were undercooked and limp. And the inside had big chunks of faux crab. I can’t do that. So yeah, pretty typical Coney Island fare. That is to say, I won’t be going back.

    UPDATE: 3/1/2024-It seems like this place is under new ownership and I am so sad because the food now is TERRIBLE! This used to be my FAVORITE PLACE esp their chicken dumplings which now taste so bad! I miss the old owners. I can no longer eat here..$22.17 in the garbage Their food is EXCELLENT! Small place so takeout is best. Nice kind people work here and go above and beyond to satisfy you. I highly recommend!

    The milk tea and milkshakes are really good even as a standalone order. Every order, whether it is the Vietnamese pho, Bahn mi, rice platter, or side dishes are all super good. The food items are also moderately priced for their serving size, which tends to be more on the generous side. I'm personally addicted to the fried chicken dumplings with the hot sauce packets. The only issue I would say is that there really is no place to dine in, so you can really only order for take out. But overall, I definitely recommend everyone to try the food and drinks there.

    the schedule says that it works on Saturdays, but in fact everything was closed today on Saturday, are you doing this on purpose? why mock people, I specifically came here to you from another area, and you are closed, although Google says that everything works. scammers

    Giving them three starts. Because although their food is very good when we receive it. No sauces in the delivery what so ever even after we tell them to put sauces there.

  • 5/5 Richard H. 3 years ago on Google
    I had the general tso's chicken. The crisp on it was light and crunchy. The chicken inside was fresh and juicy. Sauce wasn't too thick. Very good.

  • 5/5 Regina A. 2 years ago on Google
    Best food in the area. The classic banh mi, pho, and bubble tea are my favorites. The Chinese food is really good too. They never disappoint!

    I've ordered from this place on 2 occasions. This place offers excellent food for the price. Food wasn't overly greasy either, like in some Chinese restaurants. Pick up time was quick.
