Wouldn't Chance It
Food was glued together with a gummy coating and pieces of chicken indistinguishable from one another. Don't get delivery....doesn't travel well. Over-tenderized meat. Phone ordered so can't comment on service or atmosphere. But personnel were polite over the phone. We didn't finish a single dish and usually we don't have leftovers

Place has gotten atrocious
Food is acceptable, but very overpriced for how mediocre it's gotten. Service has gotten pretty bad and delivery is now a joke. I used to go weekly, but it's not worth it now.

Not recommended
lived in the neighborhood for 10 years and it infamously has bad chinese restaurants. decided to take a chance on this place since i was craving chinese and thought the menu looked tasty (and with mixed reviews, I decided to go for it). I ordered dim sum, a beef dish and shrimp fried rice. ALL overcooked, ALL had a bizarre flavor and thus I would never order from here, again. i'll stick to the thai restaurants in the hood, because the flavors in these dishes not only didn't meld, they were simply unappetizing. don't do it. don't take that chance -- waste of money!

Best Pan-Asian option in the hood
After reading the reviews previously posted on this site about Chance, I felt compelled to write because they are either outdated or just not true. We had dinner there last night (9 of us), every dish we ordered (which was several) was delicious and the service couldn't have been more attentive and accommodating. I definitely recommend eating at the restaurant, because their food delivered loses something in transport. The bar scene is a little bit loud, but not unbearable and they have a good selection of beers on tap.

Disappointing
This was the first time my roommate and I tried this restaurant and it will be our last. We ordered the rock shrimp temp which took 20 minutes to arrive and was mushy. I've had rock shrimp many times and this was the worst I've had. Once our entrees eventually came my roommate recieved the wrong dish. We waited 10 minutes for the server finally to come over to check on us and we asked is it was the correct dish. Apparently the food runner made a mistake and my roommate barely touched her meal. What appeared to be a manager came over and looked at our table but never said a word. After being in the food industry for many years when customers have bad experiences usually the restaurant will at least comp an app or the wrong entree but we were given the full price bill. There are way too many good restaurants in this nieghborhood. Go somewhere else.

Excellent
The food is great. Make sure you have the mussels, hot & sour soup, dim sum and the desserts.

best hot and sour soup i've ever had!
chance is the chinese/asian staple in carroll gardens. their hot and sour soup is really good (so spicy and flavorful!) - sometimes i'll only order that because it's also very filling. they have a great lunch special (includes the soup!) and it's an awesome bargain! chance - thanks for existing.
