Jewish Christmas in Brooklyn: Here Are Your Chinese Food Options

BROOKLYN HEIGHTS-DUMBO — There are plenty of us in the neighborhood who will be stuffing our faces with sweet and sour chicken and seeing a rom-com instead of gathering around a tree this Christmas. Patch collected some of the best (and open on Christmas) Chinese restaurants in the Brooklyn Heights-DUMBO neighborhood.

Great Wall, 60 Henry St., (718) 855-2630

Open on Christmas 11 a.m. - 11 p.m.

This place has mixed reviews on Yelp but is supposed to be cheap! One Yelp user wrote: "Don't get me wrong its nothing fancy. However to get a filling tasty meal for under 10 bucks in Brooklyn Heights? Well that deserves an extra star alone."

Golden Fried Dumpling, 192 Duffield St., (718) 522-2836

Open on Christmas 11 a.m. - 9:30 p.m.

Here's another cheap hole-in-the-wall with quality Chinese. One Yelp user wrote: "The food is not PF Chang but for two people to leave a NYC area restaurant after a 4-course meal, soft-drinks and pay less than 35 bucks, is worth your while!"

Yaso Tangbao, 148 Lawrence St., (929) 337-7599

Open on Christmas 11 a.m. - 8 p.m.

A modern, neat, and clean fast-food Chinese place in Downtown Brooklyn to get your grease on quickly and efficiently before a movie.

Lichee Nut, 162 Montague St., (718) 522-5565

Open on Christmas, regular hours

Basically the most classic fried Chinese food you could ever ask for. Beef with broccoli is recommended, and the delivery is fast as well.

Mile End Diner, 97A Hoyt St.(646) 494-9508

This diner is truly a Jewish Christmas miracle. Mile End in Boerum Hill boasts a special Christmas Day Chinese menu that's a fixed price of $65, so it's sort of a splurge, but it's a cultural experience, so it's so worth it. Book your spot quickly.
