Our family often goes to Tsingtao Restaurant whenever we’re craving Chinese food, and it truly feels like a second home to us. The owner is incredibly kind and welcoming — she greets us like we’re hometown friends every time we walk in.
She’s especially wonderful with our kids. She plays with them, makes little braids for them, and always takes time to talk and laugh with them. It’s rare to find that kind of genuine warmth in a restaurant owner these days.
The food is very delicious and full of flavor. It does lean on the oily side, but that’s part of what makes it so rich and satisfying. If you’re not sure what to order, just ask her — she’s always happy to recommend dishes or tell you about the day’s specials.
Our signature favorites are the clay pot rice, tofu seafood stew, sour mustard intestines, long hot pepper beef, knife clams, and the scallion fish. Every time we order these, they never disappoint.
If you’re looking for authentic, comforting Chinese food served with real hospitality, this is the place.

The taste of the food and size of the portions were excellent. The servers were very pleasant and accommodating which can be a rarity these days. They were very busy but finished every interaction with a smile. The only downside was that there was a limited number of servers so the service was on the slow side, although once we did place our orders, the food came out quickly.
This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in town. I highly recommend it.

Decent Chinese restaurant near UR campus. If you want to rly enjoy Chinese food here, do not go alone, but go with some party at least 4 and share the plates because one plate would be too large enough to get bored But if you have several different plates you may enjoy various flavors!!
I have tried this with my friends:
Braised Pork Belly
Sour Mustard Boil Fish
Beef Chow Fun (it was my favorite)
Eggplant Garlic Sauce
Chinese Choves

A surprising good Chinese restaurant in a nondescript strip mall. Good old fashioned Cantonese dishes, ranging from the simple watercress with garlic to spicy hot chicken popcorns.
We enjoyed our outings here. Taking in everything into consideration, this no fuss restaurant delivers a solid Cantonese style experience and would make us come back here when we are in the mood to try southern Chinese food.
Service could be better. There were only two ladies working the entire restaurant. They rushed from one table to the next and did what they could. There was some waiting needed in every steps, but it was expected in this kind of restaurant.

This is a cute little place. The food was delicious. I got a fried tofu dish with mixed vegetable and they had this delightful kind of cauliflower I had never had before. Kind of like a young baby cauliflower. It was really good. My friend got a fried rice which she very much enjoyed. It was nice and bright in there. Nothing amazing but comfy.

We have been there a few times before, but we are very disappointed in my take out and it wasn’t because I didn’t get a cookie. We ordered spicy crispy beef and crab ragoons, we have ordered it before but ate there. The take out was small portion and small rice, we ordered an extra white rice we didn’t get and the beef wasn’t as good as we remembered and definitely not crispy beef. The ragoons were good as usual and I guess we hit them on a bad day. I will try them one more time.

We did take out and everything we ordered was hot and delicious. It was also ready right as promised. I would 100% go here again either to eat in our take out.
My favorite is the walnut Shrimp but we also got the lo mein, beef with broccoli and general tso chicken. All excellent with good sized portions.

We went for Father’s Day. We were the only people sitting in the restaurant but the service was great. They were very attentive and engaged our 5 year old. We ordered the shrimp dumpling with hot chili oil and should have gotten two. We also got the scallion pancakes, Singapore mei fun and chicken and broccoli. Everything was huge portions and came our super hot and fast. The chicken and broccoli did not come with white rice. They also gave us room temperature water which I enjoyed (I don’t like cold water). We will def be back! I can’t wait to try more things and get the dumplings again.

Found this shop by chance and very happy that we tried it. Excellent cooking at very reasonable price. Very yummy Chinese food in a nice, bright and clean setting. This is a great addition to Asian food choices in Rochester area Definitely will return as a must-go destination. Will order to-go too to share with others at home
