I recently visited Sagor Chinese and tried their chicken lollipop, chicken wings, and a mango shake. The food was decent—not bad, but not amazing based on my experience.<br><br>However, what truly stood out to me was the service. Maruf bhai’s behavior was exceptional—so polite, respectful, and welcoming. I’ve been to many restaurants, but the way he talks to customers is on another level. It really made my visit special.<br><br>I’ve heard a lot of negative things about Sagor Chinese before, but after going myself, my experience was quite different. I’m not sure about the other staff, but Maruf bhai is outstanding. Thank you—every restaurant needs staff like him!

Response from the owner

Thank you for visiting Sagar Chinese! Glad you liked the food and the service. We look forward to serving you again.

This was the most atrocious place ever. I read the negative 1 star reviews they had and I still went there to give the benefit of the doubt but wow Ive never had such horrible experience. How can shrimp come out looking like overly fried fish? Cant put together words. The soup came out smelling like metal. It set the mood off from the start. The workers were eating with their hands, the table wasn’t clean and was not sanitary. Do yourself a favor and listen to the negative reviews. If you want food poisoning or vomit then this is the place to go!!

Response from the owner

We apologize that our food did not meet your expectations. We take great pride in the quality of our products, and it’s regrettable that we fell short on this occasion, and we hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future.

We got Iftar box from sagar Chinese and the Iftar box had 9-10 items and besides the date everything else was so bad and waste of money. The fried rice was just rice no flavor nothing just plain rice and the fried chicken, dumplings and other fried items just felt old and uncooked. They used to be really good but over the years their quality dropped along with their service. Every other time I’d probably understand but during Iftar after whole day of fasting and you get food like this honestly just disappointed and we had to throw the whole box away. I hope they bring improvement

Terrible experience from start to finish. The food was low quality and the portions were laughably small for the price. Even worse was the customer service — the staff had rude attitudes and acted annoyed by paying customers, as if we were asking for free food. Basic professionalism and courtesy were completely missing. A restaurant that treats customers this way does not deserve repeat business. I would not recommend this place until they seriously fix both their food and service.

Response from the owner

Thank you for giving us a try, and sorry to hear it was not up to par with your expectations. Customer service is important to us, so we're disappointed that you felt that we fell short. Hope you give us another chance to serve you better.

I am writing to express my disappointment with the service I received at Sagar Chinese in Hillside Ave. Yesterday, I visited the establishment and spent approximately $50, which is a significant amount for me as I am not currently employed and used my savings. I ordered the chicken vegetable Thai soup, but what I received was a mostly watery broth. Upon returning home and inspecting the contents, I felt frustrated and called the restaurant to inquire about the consistency of the soup. The staff member confirmed that they did offer Thai soup and stated that the recipe had not changed. When I pointed out the soup's watery consistency, the staff member's response was that they don't put water in the soup, which seemed arrogant and rude. I expressed my disappointment, feeling that at the very least, an apology for the inconvenience would have been warranted. The staff member's attitude was unhelpful, suggesting that I bring the soup back, without acknowledging any fault. One more thing there was no heat at that place and it was freezing. Given my 20-year patronage of this establishment, I am particularly disappointed in the service I received. Just a little video I am posting to show about the consistency of the soup.

Response from the owner

We are incredibly sorry about the experience you had and even more sorry to disappoint a long-time customer. The experience you describe is quite atypical of our restaurant. Sincerely hope you give us another chance to serve you better.

I cannot recommend this place based on my recent order. The fried rice was nearly inedible because the grains were still hard and clearly not fresh. The seasoning across the dishes felt unauthentic and strange. I had to return the fried rice and had it replaced but still had the same taste. Even the Manchurian chicken was tasteless and nothing I expected! Overall, a very poor representation of Asian fusion. I'll be not ordering from there again.

Response from the owner

We apologize that your experience did not meet your expectations. We are currently addressing certain technical issues at the restaurant that may have affected your visit. We hope you will consider giving us another opportunity to provide a more positive experience.

My wife, daughter, and I had a very disappointing experience at Dine Sagar Chinese in Jamaica, Queens. The food was just okay, but the service was shockingly bad. When we asked for water, the server practically threw the bottle on our table — it surprised even my daughter. The way they served the food felt rude, as if they didn’t care about us at all. Then we noticed they already added a 15% tip to the bill and still left another space asking for more.<br>I truly regret tipping. I will never visit this place again.

Response from the owner

Thank you for giving us a try, and sorry to hear it was not up to par with your expectations. Customer service is important to us, so we're disappointed that you felt that we fell short. The tip is a voluntary field printed with the receipt, it is not mandated. Hope you give us another chance to serve you better.

Ordered mixed masala fried rice and this is what I got. No shrimp, no beef only 3 pieces of chicken. This place is Garbadge now. Highway Robbery and i put up a complain against them. Highly recommend away away from them and if you do order, check your food before leaving.

Response from the owner

We apologize that your experience did not meet your expectations. The problem with your order was probably an isolated mistake rather than a regular cooking practice. We hope you'll consider giving us another chance to make a better impression.

I’ve had better Chinese food than this place, to be honest. The Thai soup was watery and lacked flavor. The sizzling beef was bland, and I think the chef is more focused on cooking than maintaining quality.<br>The chicken wonton and fried rice with chicken and lollipop were good, no complaints.<br>The Manchurian chicken was mediocre and I wouldn’t try it again.<br>As a South Asian franchise, they could have done better with the flavors. I’m sorry, but I won’t be coming back here.

Sagar Chinese Restaurant offers a unique blend of Bangladeshi-style Chinese cuisine, all served halal. <br><br>During our visit, we started with the Fish Fingers as an appetizer, which were flavorful and well-prepared. For the main course, we had the Mix Fried Rice and Chicken Fry. The Mix Fried Rice was delicious, but the Chicken Fry’s taste was a bit underwhelming.<br><br>The restaurant provides a cozy atmosphere reminiscent of traditional Chinese eateries, and the service was commendable. For those seeking Bangladeshi-style Chinese dishes in a comfortable setting, Sagar Chinese Restaurant is worth a visit.

Response from the owner

Thank you so much for your review. We are happy to hear you enjoyed the food and the dining experience with us. We look forward to serving you again.

If you’re looking for good halal Indo-Chinese food, this is a must try. It’s a staple for Bangali’s in the tri state area. Food is reasonably priced for the most part however I would suggest take out. The restaurant itself is small and always crowded. The bathroom is dirty and the staff is not always the best.

Response from the owner

Thank you for visiting, glad you liked the food. The restaurant in Jamaica does get crowded when it is busy, may we suggest our Bellerose location, it has ample street parking and a larger dining space. Hope you return to any our locations and give us another chance to serve you better.

Went to the Jamaica location today and it was a pretty good experience. They definitely need to upgrade their restaurant because it most certainly is dated. The food was pretty delicious, we got the Fried Rice, Noodles, General Tso’s Chicken, Thai Soup and Lollipop Chicken. The only thing I would like to suggest is why do we need to pay for Water? What happened to the days when we would be served old fashioned tap water? Can’t believe we have to pay for bottled water now, but I guess that’s the outcome of inflation.

Response from the owner

Thank you for visiting Sagar Chinese, glad you liked the food and are back for seconds soon.

Compare to last year their food quality got worse. Everyone comes here for authentic Bangladeshi Chinese taste. Their Thai soup had no flavor. Chicken fried taste like store bought. Has no smell of Bangladeshi Chinese. The beef sizzling has gravy in it. Nd the fried rice looks like biryani. So disappointed.
