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.
Mr. Chang's lived up to all the positive reviews I heard. I haven't had halal chinese like this in a while. Let's start with the spicy chicken wings. They were absolutely fantastic, with a perfect balance between spice and crispiness, and it paired amazingly with the fried rice.The chef's special szcehuan chicken was full of flavor as well. Beyond the amazing food, I was impressed by the friendly and efficient staff. They provided attentive service, ensuring that our dining experience was enjoyable from start to finish. Additionally, Mr. Chang's offers a well-maintained interior. The ambiance is inviting and the restaurant is spacious enough to bring your friends and family. Overall, I highly recommend checking out Mr. Chang's, if you are looking for an authentic chinese food experience.
100% Halal and Delicious!! We had the vegetable spring rolls, duck bao bun, sesame chicken vegetable fried rice and the beef fried dumplings. The food was hot and fresh, the service was really good, and the bathroom is very clean. The only thing was we were told to talk lower because apparently we were loud since it’s a small space I can understand. Either way 10/10 for the food! Def recommend it if you’re in the area.
Can you handle the Heat ? Mr. Chang Halal Chinese 25-45 Steinway St, Queens, NY 11103 Mala Wings Dragon & phoneix Half Pecking Duck Chilli Chicken Duck Bao Buns Mala Wok (seafood) Thai Tea Bobba Float House Special Fried Rice Chilli Wonton Review: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ (4 out of 5 Stars) If you can handle the heat, you gotta try the Mala Wings. They are the perfect combination of spicy and crispy. Definitely eat this when it’s hot. The Mala Wok (Seafood), a fiery fusion of Sichuan peppercorns, chili peppers, shrimp, fish, tofu, quail eggs, rice cake, corn and veggies, wok-tossed to perfection served on a wok was amazing. The corn was a unique addition, but worked really well with everything else. It was my first time trying duck; all I gotta say is not bad. After enjoying the food, the bubble tea is a nice way to cool down. Overall, the restaurant has a nice ambiance and the food is good. I loved seeing the pictures of Bruce Lee on the wall. As always Don’t forget to say Bismillah and Alhamdulilah for everything
The food was very tasty and we were given big portions so you definitely get what you pay for. I got the chili wontons, chicken lo mein, and strawberry lemonade mocktail. The chili wontons were so delicious and so spicy (which I love). And the strawberry lemonade mocktail was unbelievably good and addictive. I for sure want to try out more mocktail drinks next time. The atmosphere and service were very exceptional. I will definitely be coming back here again!
The ambiance was nice and so were the staffs. The food was good but once you have few bites it feels salty due to the amount of M.S.G they use. Food does not taste as good after that. We ordered the house special fried rice, house special lo mein, szechuan shrimp and chilli wonton . They gave us free boba tea with our order. The boba tea was the best out of all the items we had.
Tried this spot beginning of May. They are halal which is wonderful. I had the steamed beef dumplings & General Tsao chicken & scallion pancakes. All 3 dishes were super flavorful, succulent & delicious. Dumplings & gen tsao were piping hot when they brought it out to my table which I love. The interior decor is nice & the restaurant was peacefully quiet on a Monday evening when I went. I will definitely be coming back soon.
