Caridad China

the food here is really good even though its basic. the steak with onions was amazing and the fried rice had so much stuff in it - ham, char siu, shrimp. mofongo was cooked well but personally enjoyed the steak more - honestly preferred it to a steakhouse i went to the week before. portions are huge and service is great!

Wife wanted some Asian food and came across a clip on Instagram. Once we saw the food, we had to try it. We were able to get there yesterday and the food was good. The mofongo had flavor and was juicy and didn't need the sauce although even with the sauce it was great. The general tso chicken was also good. My wife had the pork fried rice which was delicious as well. The mango shake was meh - more watery than shake. The negative thing was our waitress never came back after our food came out. I finish my drink and wanted another but waitress did not come. Another waitress took our payment while our waitress never returned. The food was good enough to return though.

The fusion of Chinese food and Latin food has seen a surge of popularity on social media, so places like this are seeing a resurgence. Caridad China appears to be Puerto Rican Chinese (based solely on the giant Puerto Rican flag design on our table). We started off with "dim sum" (basic dumplings) which were tasty albeit a bit "rubbery" for me personally (not so for the others in our party). We also tried the "tostones vinaigrette" which was essentially cup-shaped tostones filled with chicken or shrimp in a red sauce, similar in flavor to ropa vieja. The raw onion wasn't to my liking but the taste overall was good. We then shared the BBQ pork ribs and sweet & sour chicken. By far the crowd favorite was the sweet & sour chicken - whether accompanied with fried rice or classic tostones- it was absolutely delicious. The ribs were good but standard (& a bit fatty).The restaurant is definitely low key but inside it is nicely appointed and the service was prompt. Price-wise we found some of the items to be higher than expected for a low key establishment like this.We overall it was a positive experience and I am definitely curious to try out some of their other menu items.

This place was featured on a YouTube so that's how I heard about it. I went to check it out because of the rave reviews as well. Once you enter you can see that this place has no frills. I didn't think you needed to make reservations and you it's first come first serve. Boy was I wrong as it started to turn to 9pm a bunch of people started coming in and they were in one large group. They took up the entire place and I was in shock. I feel like they bought out the entire restaurant. I guess this place does that! It shows that they are really popular. Anyways, we ordered a bunch of items off the menu. Started with the steamed juicy pork buns which wasn't really juicey and very tiny so I wasn't impressed with it plus they look like very shriveled up soup dumplings. Got the fried green plantains which was much better especially with garlic sauce. I got the house special lo mein since it comes with all the proteins that they offer. It was pretty good. Last but not least tried the chicken with garlic sauce that comes with fried rice, ham, eggs and vegetables. I really liked the chicken with garlic sauce. I realized all the dishes that I enjoyed had garlic added on. Overall, I thought that service was good and the food too.

Ordered from a popular food delivery app. While I'll always enjoy the food, via delivery it's not the same as when you eat at the restaurant so I recommend dining at the restaurant or take out pickup yourself unless you're close by. It's much better fresh out of the kitchen than waiting on delivery when you live a distance away.

This place is not cheap. Lunch cost about $35 because the lunch menu only had a handful of things so I ordered off the main menu.This was my first time eating sesame shrimp. It was really good but I didn't care for the long grain of rice that was used. 7.5/10 I gota side of plantains with garlic sauce 10/10. I will return.

Food and service were great! Will definitely be coming back. As someone married to someone born and raised in PR...the food here is legit!

I found out about this restaurant from a reel on Facebook (yes, seriously! lol). Since my husband likes to hang out in Williamsburg, we decided to check out Caridad China this past weekend. When we arrived, we noticed that the restaurant was busy. I ordered the sesame chicken which comes with a choice of a side (veg/egg fried rice was my choice). My husband ordered the General Tsao chicken with the same type of rice. I also ordered a side of sweet plantains which was a mistake because the portion was HUGE and I was only about to eat about 1/4 of the plantains. :\ The service was fast and friendly and the food was the best Chinese food that I had in a loooong time. We will be back!

I must say I was initially confused at whether this was a Chinese food restaurant or a Dominican food restaurant. I am still unsure but what I DO know is the experience and food was amazing. Me and the wife split the cultures and she ordered "Special" Lo Mein and I ordered the fried chicken mofongo. The portions were huge, the taste was deliberate, the presentation and ambiance was appropriate for what we were in search of on this particular evening: A low-key spot where great food is served and without a crazy line. We will certainly be coming back to this place...actually I have to...to try the other mofongo variations. I give this place 5 starts for a nice cozy dinner on the town.

Caridad China is a hidden gem in the heart of Brooklyn amongst the many restaurants in the area. Upon entering, you are greeted by the welcoming decor and warm ambiance. The fusion dishes at Caridad China are masterful in their creativity and execution. The General Tso's Chicken is very flavorful and authentic. 100 % recommend trying. The waiters are all so nice too. The fusion just hits the spot! 10/10 would go again.
