New Apolo is a straightforward Chinese restaurant nestled in the heart of Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood. It serves both dine-in and delivery options, making it a convenient spot for families and locals juggling busy schedules. The space itself feels casual and approachable—nothing too flashy—where the focus clearly centers on familiar flavors and quick service rather than upscale ambiance.

The menu leans heavily into Cantonese and Szechuan-style dishes with a diverse range that blends traditional Chinese staples and local Latin influences. You’ll find classics like Sesame Chicken with Pork Fried Rice and Steak and Onions with Sweet Plantains, showcasing the neighborhood’s cultural crossover. Others in the area seem to appreciate their take on hot and sour soup, fried chicken wings, and the Chicken & Shrimp Fried Rice, which reflect a comforting, home-style approach rather than refined culinary experimentation.

New Apolo fits naturally into the local rhythm, especially for midday meals or casual family dinners where ease and flavor matter most. The staff gets mentioned often for being friendly and attentive, which makes the dining or takeout experience a smoother one in the sometimes fast-paced Brooklyn dining scene. Locals also make use of their delivery service, which is appreciated for its reliability and consistency.

It’s not necessarily a spot for a special night out, but if you’re after familiar Chinese-Latin fusion plates in a low-key, no-frills setting, New Apolo holds its own. Those revisiting old neighborhood favorites or newcomers looking for a straightforward meal will find dependable flavors here. Early evenings and lunch hours seem ideal for a comfortable visit, avoiding any rush while catching the casual, hardworking Brooklyn vibe.

When undecided what to eat, New Apolo always comes to mind first for the whole family. I love both locations. Highly recommend the Blue Hawaiians, chicken and broccoli, Steak on a stick, Hot and sour soup. Staff is always lovely. All good for eat-in, takeaway or delivery

This establishment consistently delivers exceptional service. The team exhibits a high level of attentiveness towards customers, ensuring prompt and personalized service. The food and beverages are prepared and served swiftly, catering to individual preferences. Since the opening of their new location, I have made multiple visits, including a trip to the adjacent former location. This establishment effectively filled the void left by the closure of the Delaney Avenue location. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking a reliable and enjoyable dining experience.

Great place for dine in or take out, I’ve wanted to try this place for some time and since I was in the area for lunch time I went with my wife and ordered some Generals Tso chicken with Pork fried rice and orange chicken with pork fried rice. It was very good and we had left overs for later. The attention at the restaurant was good.

My first time here. My wife had to stop in because she grew up eating their food. We were visiting for the weekend. Food was good. We live in virginia now so we needed nyc chinese food. Whenever we come back we'll stop in again.

"This place isn't bad at all! My wife used to eat here all the time when she was younger the location in the Lower East Side. She thought it was gone forever after the original location closed, but I did some research and found out it's still around. The food was outstanding, and we were all stuffed. We loved it!"

William is a great waiter! Great service and great food! Also they have really strong drinks for the price ($12 for a small which is basically something like a 16oz). Highly recommend for a casual night out with friends
