My favorite Chinese restaurant
I love getting Chinese food at Golden Duck. Their steamed dumplings are my favorite dish, but they really prepare everything so well.
The staff is also super nice, and their combo deals with free soup and egg roll can’t be beat.
It’s a shame that the interior isn’t as inviting to sit-down guests as Chop Sticks further down Garth Rd., but for take-out or delivery it’s the best!
Dishes I tried:
Steamed Dumplings
They prepare this appetizer better than almost any other restaurant. The dumplings are doughy and flavorful.
Lemon Chickem
The lemon chicken here is awesome too. It’s two fillets of breast garnished with lemon wedges and sauce on the side. Much better than the nugget-y things other places serve.

Fun night out
I love going to Mickey’s whether for drinking or dining. Unfortunately happy hour is over before I get home from work, but the kitchen serves up food for most of the night.
Dishes I tried:
Irish Nachos
My friend is obsessed with these and orders them pretty much every time we come. The dish consists of a heaping plate of waffle fries covered in spicy chopped meat and melted cheese.

The Worst
I didn’t think it was possible to have bad Chinese food, but this place manages to be awful every time.
I tried it a few times after it first opened, but after every meal was consistently bad, I stopped trying. It’s been a few years since I suffered through their incompetence, but from what I remember they get orders wrong, the food takes an inordinately long time to prepare, and it often tastes like something I’d think twice before serving to my dog.

Fine Italian
Most of the residents in Eastchester are of Italian heritage, and this restaurant really does justice to the locals.
Everything they prepare here is divine, and the atmosphere is top notch. This place is great for anything from lunch with co-workers to celebrating Nana’s 80th birthday to throwing your daughter a Sweet 16.
Dishes I tried:
Paparedelle alla Francesco
Fresh pasta and mozzarella — can’t be beat.
