Saw Shack - Jackson Heights

I'm so picky about Chinese food that I didn't have expectations when I command, just hunger... What a surprise how it should taste and the delivery was promt! It has become my only Chinese restaurant in the area, because even the remains were delicious! No more uncooked or old chicken for me!

This restaurant surpasses typical Chinese cuisine. The menu caters well to vegetarians and offers plenty of healthy options, including seasonal specialties. You can tell they genuinely prioritize the quality of their food and the ingredients they use. If you try the hot and sour soup, you'll notice the care they put into its preparation. The chicken and broccoli dish is lean and very flavorful, but I found the general Tso chicken to be a bit lacking.

We adore Saw Shack! The eggplant with garlic sauce and the chicken with ginger-infused spread beans are simply amazing. We frequently order the vegetable fried rice, which is loaded with large pieces of broccoli and other fresh veggies. It's never greasy, and the brown rice is perfectly cooked with a delightful nutty flavor. The only reason we don’t rate it 5 stars is that the General Tso's and Sesame Chicken can be a bit disappointing and dry. Other than that, their menu is impressive. We also enjoy the sweet dumplings and roti, which might be unexpected for a Chinese restaurant, but they somehow fit perfectly. You'll also find that the wait times for either takeout or delivery are quite short.

The staff was super friendly and seemed to work well together, which added to the warm atmosphere. The selection of vegetarian options is extensive. I tried the mango veggie chicken, which was flavorful and packed with a variety of vegetables (I asked for no peppers or onions, and they were happy to accommodate). I also ordered the veggie dumplings, which were fantastic as well. I can’t believe I missed this spot before!
