Tina

Slimeballs pamphleted my apartment when delivering to someone else — this in unacceptable business practice!

We call Tina’s 212−477−1761 for take out, but receive the order from Red House, 203 E 14^th St, which has been ok with us until last night.
We assume Tina’s and Red House are owned by the same group or person. See my comments on Red House.

Good Chinese food, priced fair and delivered quickly. It’s the best Chinese delivery in the area.

I have to agree with Kathleen D in all respects. I have been ordering from Tina for– TWENTY YEARS. Wild. Since they were on Park Avenue South. They have always been the best and it’s crazy how fast they are on delivery, and excellent on the phone and never use MSG and actually have pride in the food they cook.
I have never been to the restaurant, only delivery.
I do think there was some change along the way, the lemon chicken is not how I remember it, but beef lo mein, pork fried rice, chicken with broccoli… all fresh and the best.

Wow — I can not believe how poor the reviews are here! I have been living in the area for years, and Tina is the best Chinese take out place I have tried. I’m Asian, so believe that I know what I am talking about. They have authentic Chinese dishes, along with your Chinese-​American take out favorites. All dishes are very flavorable with traditional spices. Tina is the closes thing that I have found to restaurants in Chinatown. My favorite dishes are the 10 ingredient pan fried noodles, lemon chicken, and Peking duck. I love how the lemon chicken and duck are delivered so crisped. I love how they didn’t drenched my chicken with the lemon sauce; they kept it in a separate container! And another thing, vegetables are never overcooked! It is really the little things that matter here.
A major plus about Tina is that the food always comes FRESH! I have tried some funky Asian take outs in the past. Places where every bite makes you a little suspicious about what you are eating. I have to emphasize again that the food at Tina always comes FRESH. Delivery is always ridiculously fast which is awesome. One more thing that I have to add is that I really believe that each dish is made with a lot of experience and pride. This is my absolute favorite Chinese take out place in the area — they never disappoint.

Brad D must be crazy (or an owner). It’s far from the worst I’ve had but definitely on the bad side of things. Don’t bother.

This is the best delivery Chinese food I’ve ever had. That’s the honest truth. (I’m giving it five stars for what it is; this ain’t Per Se or the 21 Club, but it’s very good for take out.) Very fresh, and not laden with chemically additives like a lot of bad Chinese food.
I’m not sure why the other reviewers have given it one star. That certainly can’t be right. Trust me – not them. :-)
The flyer left under my door advertises quick delivery «by motor.» They weren’t kidding. I live five avenues and six streets away from the restaurant, and it was to my door within 20 minutes.
Dinner special — enough food for two meals, plus rice, plus an eggroll (apparently, you can also request soup or a can of soda pop) was $ 6.95. Can’t beat that!

Worst. Chinese. Ever.
The food was fresh, the delivery was fast, the flavor was non-​existant! We were so disappointed, not to mention frustrated at the fact that we ‘doctored’ every single dish we ordered.
We won’t be ordering again. Ever.

This used to be my Chinese take out gold standard spot. Used to be.
Food was fresh, delicious, memorable, satisfying and incredibly reasonable in cost. Delivery was at the speed of light. I’m not sure how they cooked the food and got it to my apartment in the time it took for me to hang up and answer the door for the delivery guy.
It seems that the place is under new management and quality has suffered. Delivery is at a snails pace. And the food is now greasy and tastes day old. So sad.
