Good cheap chinese food - get the dumplings!

This is definitely the best cheap chinese you can get in Prospect Heights (and probably Park Slope as well). Try the steamed shrimp dumplings. Anything with chinese eggplant is great. Curry bean curd or curry chicken. And they can accomodate your custom orders, adding vegetables or other ingredients to your liking.

You know those Mexican Chinese places. You know, they're usually called something really simple and kinda dumb like Happy Taco or Fast Taco, something like that. They're kinda dumpy but the food is delicious. So good that you only question why a Chinese person is making your "Mexican" food then quickly dismiss the thought because that shrimp taco tastes so damn good. Well, Hing Lung Kitchen is kinda like that but for Chinese food. Here's why. Of course they have the typical Americanized Chinese dishes but as you're searching through the menu you come across sides and dishes like, fried chicken nuggets, french fries and maduros (sweet plantains). Last time I checked, that's not Chinese food unless of course you're in Puerto Rico. :)

Hing Lung Kitchen fits my Chinese food criteria in 8 ways.

1) No bullet proof glass or a gated door separating the employee from the customer. Those places creep me the eff out. I always feel like they have cats frozen in their freezer.
2) Yummy dumplings. Even better on day 2. 8 for $4.95
3) They deliver to my apartment.
4) Friendly and attentive staff. No rudeness here.
5) Snapple
6) Free can of soda for $12 spent or 2 liters of soda for $20 spent
7) No one is sleeping under the counter. I know this is a weird one but, in the Chinese place we would go to in high school, employees slept under the counter. No lie.
8) Right next to Met super market. Shop while they cook your food!

I'll definitely order from Hing Lung again. If you live in the area, I suggest you try too.

Really nasty fries ok but evrything else yuck

Best Chinese Restaurant in Brooklyn. They also take credit cards so on those days I don't have cash on me and don't want to go out of the house I just call in my order and it is delivered within 20 minutes.
