Sum Hing

I got general tso’s chicken. This is the first place I’ve been that it does not come with any vegetables. Just chicken and rice.
I got beef & broccoli the next time I went and all the beef was red in the middle. I have a stomach of steel so I ate it anyway.
Only 2 tables inside, cash only.
I wish they would do walnut or coconut sauce (usually on prawns or chicken) but they don’t.

Suuupppppeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrr good! I’m just saying… Yes it is American Chinese food. But, whatever I order is ridiculously fresh, delicious, they do what u ask for, timely delivery I might add, same price for better quality and great customer service compared to any spot in the area! I’ve ate here about 5 times now and this 5^th time charmed me enough to click on this Unilocal app and write a review about their awesomeness. You can’t go wrong with sum hing! You want something Chinese related you better order from sum hing! Roflmao that should be their slogan! Ok I’m done. 5 star worthy. ohh best chicken wings I’ve tried in NYC, I’ve lived in the Bronx Brooklyn fort Greene wash heightsforest hills, Jamaica queens, lower east side 1^st and 1^st 42^nd and 8^th … All over NYC and haven’t had chix wings this good! I promise u will love this place!!! The delivery guy is a sweetheart! He doesn’t speak English. U just have to say que fuey and be able to count in Spanish n ur good! 5 stars!

I love this place! I used to live across the street and I would order the chicken egg foo young or fried dumplings weekly. They are always busy and it’s no wonder because everyone in the neighborhood goes there.

Oh man, what a diamond in the Harlem rough! I’ve tried some really crappy Chinese food around here, but there is definitely Sum tHing right about this place! One, the girl taking my order actually smiled, god forbid. Two, the food has actual flavor and isn’t flat and bland like other places! Also, cheap delivery and free drink with an order over $ 10?! Expect me back, ALOT. This is my new Chinese spot!

I’m surprised there aren’t that many reviews here because I know at least 15 people that order from here once a week. The Chinese food around West Harlem really sucks, and I had to kiss a couple of frogs before I found this place. Sum Hing is super cheap and their quantities are HUGE. I always get the plain lo mein and singapore mai fun and my boyfriend always gets the Kung Pao Chicken.
I can’t speak for the bad reviews listed below, perhaps the business was under a different management. However, I absolutely LOVE this place. And did I mention you get a free soda if your drink is over $ 10 and delivery is free if your order is over $ 6!!!
Things I’ve Ordered:
Kung Pao Chicken-​delicious, comes with your choice of rice; the quantity is HUGE. I can never finish one by myself. The chicken is not that spicy, for my tastes but that’s because I have a very high spice tolerance! Their hot sauce is great so I usually go through about 4 – 5 of those little packets of heaven.
Lo Mein– I recently learned that if you get plain lo mein its $ 4.50 and if you get chicken lo mein its $ 4.75. I have yet to try the chicken lo mein but I heard it’s really good, and the chicken they use is decently cooked and isn’t sus looking, like the rest of the Chinese places in Harlem.
Singapore Mai Fun– DELICIOUSSS; just note that if you just say Singapore Mai Fun they’ll put shrimp and chicken in it, I usually just get vegetables because then they give more noodles!
Things I’ve heard are really good:
Orange Chicken– heard its pretty good, but personally I would go with the Kung Pao Chicken
Spare Ribs– apparently these are amazing? Or so my coworker says? Jk, but everything is pretty good here so give it a try if you’re in the hood.
Hope this helped~Xoxo (:

After the other debacle, I decided to give the neighborhood one more chance to redeem itself in this area. I asked my roommate if there was any good Chinese takeout around. She scrunched up her nose, opened a drawer full of menus, tossed one at me, and said, «This one’s edible.»
And it was. It was edible. That’s all I’m going to say. Thus ends the experiment: no more Chinese takeout in Harlem.

This restaurant is near City College, where I work, and usually they have pretty decent food. They recently went under new management, and I am less than impressed. The guy that I spoke with at the window took my order and forgot about me. Two people came in after me and left before me. Then he asked me «Did you order?» So after that was sorted out, I brought my food to the office, only to find that my order was screwed up. They gave me fried rice instead of white. It wouldn’t have been a big deal if I didn’t find the chicken undercooked and an insect in the rice. Good thing I didn’t start eating it, but it was truly a waste. I will be giving a call to the health department.
