“ I am an Ng without the E, and I love a dine-in Chinese restaurant because the food is always better freshly cooked without plastic waste. Eng's has great old-school ambiance, friendly service, and delicious food and cocktails. So happy to see the dining room open again. My husband and I went on Valentine's Day early at 5 and got the buffet to sample a variety of dishes. Fantastic egg rolls. Everything was excellent. We tried the egg foo yung, which I never order, and it was surprisingly tasty to me. When we left, there was a big crowd waiting for tables. We will be back to order off the menu. ”
“ My girlfriend and I have been dying to eat at Engs for several years. We're not from the area but we like to take day trips to the Catskills, so when we first ran into Engs we knew it would be a destination for us. Unfortunately the dining room had been closed since Covid. Much to our delight, we noticed on a recent trip in January that the dining room was reopening. However, it isn't open everyday and it was going to be hard to get there. This past weekend, Mother's day, we happened to be in the area. It was getting late and close to their closing time, so I called ahead to see if we could dine in. As a chef, I hate being the last table of the night as I know how inconvenient that can be for a tired staff. They encouraged us to come in and were so kind to wait for us. When we arrived they had a table set and waiting for us. The entire staff was so friendly and welcoming. The ambience of the restaurant is so warm. It takes you back to time of my childhood where dine in Chinese restaurants were so much more common. We absolutely loved the feel of stepping back in time. The food did not disappoint. We had maybe the best wonton soup I've ever had, followed by boneless spareribs, egg rolls, chicken chop suey and pork lo mein. It was all prepared so fast and absolutely delicious. Though we were in very late, we were not rushed at all. The owners treated us as such special guest. Absolutely amazing people. Great food. Beautiful place. We loved all of it. I can only hope this place lives on forever. Thank you! ”
“ Delicious food that is made to order. They were very busy when we visited. I was able to peek in the kitchen as the busy staff were going in and out and was so impressed with the lineup! Everything was delicious and staff were super attentive. ”
“ Eng’s dining room is back open and still amazing! I have been going to Eng’s for Chinese since I was in a high chair, now 27, I live for their chicken chow mein and egg rolls. Being able to sit in the dining room again for the first time in 5 years was amazing. It felt like it was never gone. Seeing all the staff back and of course Tom & Faye thriving was the best. We can’t wait to keep dining in at Eng’s! ”
“ Engs is an institution. The food is good, the service is super friendly, and the prices are very affordable. There's no wonder they've been around for almost a hundred years! I'm thrilled that they recently reopened the dining room. ”

“ Great food, great service, great drinks, great prices. Wish we got knives or chop sticks. Otherwise love it and recommend it to everyone ”
“ Been going here for 35 years and so happy that they've reopened. I've had BBQ'd spareribs all over the country and have yet to find better than Engs..Staples like egg rolls, fried rice, egg foo yung, and most meat entrees are spot on. Wonderful family business, and a must for Kingston visitors. ”
