Adam's Chinese Restaurant

So I ordered couple of times from this restaurant. The food is ok but the delivery takes 1:20 minutes. As I write it's been 52 minutes since I ordered. The guys are located just couple of block from where I live. This is unacceptable!

I am pretty ashamed with myself that I ordered from this place purely on the solid 4 star reviews. First off, the name of the place is Adam's Chinese. Why that didn't sound off the alarm for me is still a mystery. This restaurant is the most basic one stop shop for all your Asian dining needs. They offer Chinese/Thai/Japanese food and it is all disgusting. The Spare Ribs were pure fat and grizzle. They were not lean and thoroughly cooked by any means. Threw that dish right into the trash. What's next, the Pad Thai. Once again, I must have been taking crazy pills that day to order that dish from this dump. The Pad Thai was 100% Lo mein, but with pad Thai noodles and peanuts on top. Another dish straight to the trash. Lastly, sesame chicken. I didn't know chicken could look like this before. 99% breaded with .5% chicken and another .5% of whatever chicken excrement they had left over to throw in. I would like to flat out call myself as well as everyone else an idiot for dining at this place and if you gave Adams Chinese a good review...then I recommend you go get a CAT scan, because you definitely have brain damage.

Good Chinese American food staples, such as wonton soup, general Tso chicken, etc.

If mediocre Chinese take-out is what you want, look no further. For what it's worth, delivery took a little under 40 minutes.

With the over-abundance of Chinese Restaurants to order from, I asked my counterparts while working here in the city where they recommended. They said Adam's. Counldn't find it at first on the list (wans't with the A's), but very glad I searh for it! Food arrived within the specific window, perfect temperatures! Had the Singapore Noodles ordered mildly spicy (acid reflux issues) with chicken and vegetables (wrote in the extra request), ordered the pork egg roll, shrimp roll, and vegetable roll, and the edemame. Now, the rolls weren't labeled, so if that matters in a group order, I'd ask for it in the special instruction. Had the edemame two days in a row - ate left-overs still cold, they were just that good! Ate the pork roll and vegetable roll on day one - nicely crisp, good fry crispiness, held up while eating, good flavors. Had the shrimp roll the next day, reheated in microwave - heated kinda limp, but the flavor still had me chowing down in a heartbeat - well done! Had the singapore noodles on day 2 - perfect spice factor! Flavors were great, and the food was so well packed in, I had to re-heat in waves (heat, then eat some, heat, then eat some!) to keep the top from crisping too much! A small downer you can't order drinks from here, but I typically carry multiple on me at all times when I travel, so not a huge issue. Saved as a go-to fav for chinese - will order again!

Last night I ordered dumplings, sesame noodles and string beans. The food was 20mins late, and the order was all messed up. I asked for cold noodles I got them hot, and neither the string beans or the noodles were hot n spicy (like I asked). I called the restaurant to complain, the guy tried to suggest that it's my fault, and that I didn't specify how I want my food. After a long discussion he reluctantly offered to deliver another order the way I wanted it. The food was late, AGAIN. And the string beans weren't spicy at all, it was basically the same as before. As for the noodles, they dumped a spoonful of hot sauce on top of them, which is not really what you want. Conclusion: never again.

Adam's is usually good Chinese food at a good price, but the last order took a hour and a half, was a little bit soggy (tempura), and hanging on to warm by a thread...

Best Chinese delivery I have had on UES in many many years. Really fresh vegetables.

Don't trust the stars. WORST customer service i've ever experienced. Refused to bring my food to my apartment (in an elevator building). If I wanted to leave to get my food, I would walk across the street, the purpose of delivery is just that. I'm not lazy, i work in a restaurant, but it's the principle of service. I leave a tip for you to bring my food! The ultimatum was, "come down and get your food, or cancel your order with seamless," so I cancelled my order.

Terrible food. Greasy, odd flavors. There are dozens of others cheap chinese places that you can go to, don't give this place business.

I ordered food from this restaurant, the chicken turned out to be sub par, chewy, slimy and distasteful. The ultimate result was me being sick to my stomach.

took an 1 hour 45 minutes for a very mediocre meal - called Adams after an hour to be told it was on it's way, 30minutes later it was minutes away & they were very sorry but they were very busy - not my problem! When it finely turned up the delivery guy also offered his apologies - but apparently we live along way away & it took him a long time to cycle to us - don't offer delivery if too far away! therefore luke warm food, very doughy dumplings with little filling, good singapore noodles, average entrees
