Lee’s on Myrtle and Wycoff is my fav. I live within a block of the Dekalb Lee’s but still go out to Myrtle Ave. Good food, great prices and a cheap bar.

China Garden on Irving by Hart is pretty good. Their delivery boy refuses to bring the food upstairs tho, which really pisses me off, but the food is good. There was a thread on the Forum here about Chinese places awhile back too.

As many have mentioned, Lee’s restaurant is the best bet. I lived in Bushwick all my life and am now a Chicago restaurant…I miss my NYC eggrolls and fried rice so much!!!

Chen Yuan at the Knickerbocker/Jefferson intersection off the Halsey L stop is consistently above average, sometimes even downright delicious. Good General Tso’s chicken, and good Lo Mein too. Wonton soup is made to order, not poured from a giant vat, which is a huge plus.

You sound like a giant pussy! Is it really that bad to go eat cheap Chinese food? I’m sure some of the bars you drink in are atrocious by health standards. Don’t be such a goddamed baby and live life college boy!

Just ate at Lee’s Garden at Myrtle & Wyckoff and it was best Chinese I have eaten in Bushwick. The place is nice and clean, the staff was friendly and efficient and the Chicken with Garlic sauce had good chicken, nice not-overcooked broccoli and a little spiciness. Its not Chinatown, but for Americanized Chinese this is your best bet in Bushwick.

The chinese place right off the Halsey L (on Wyckoff I guess? I don’t know the name) is really good!

and they all use the same exact stock photos of the food in the menu.

I agree with Gina. Randy’s in Ridgewood. Stay away from Sze’s on Cypress, absolutely atrocious. Randy’s is fast and pretty good, though the woman taking the phone orders is occasionally difficult to deal with. I recently moved to the Park Slope area and the “nicer” Chinese restaurants in my new neighborhood aren’t nearly as good as Randy’s. Haven’t had a good pork fried dumpling since I moved.

I was waiting for an order at Lee Gardens three years ago when the health department raided the joint. It took the inspector 15 minutes and plenty of threats to get the manager to open the gated door. All the while the kitchen staff was busy hiding things. Needless to say, I didn’t stick around for my order.
