“ I ordered food to be delivered. It was a very good meal. Fried rice, white rice and sesame chicken. I didn't give it 5 stars because while there were some greens In the chicken, there wasn't enough to call it a serving. I added my own serving of veggies. ”
“ Needing nourishment after running the marathon a picture of Braised Beef noodle soup caught my eye. The restaurant is spacious with white table cloths. The soup was very comforting with a slight heat. The meat was great with a lot of soft connective tissue. The bowl was full of meat and satisfied my cravings. The noodles were just ok. No chew to it but plentiful. Only qualm I had was the tip was calculated including tax. This is a place I would like to return to to try more from the menu. ”
“ Decent Chinese food. We have walked past this place hundreds of times and went in for the first time for food after some friends mentioned that they go there. Felt bad as the restaurant was totally empty. The staff speak English, but not at a super conversational level so some of my questions about would you recommend A or B were a little awkward. We ordered dumplings and then 4 dishes, all came out fairly quickly and all tasty. They have a full bar and it's reasonably priced. ”
“ Try: Dim Sum Sampler, Roast Duck Noodle Soup, Sesame Shredded Beef, and Hot & Sour Soup. Why: I was a little congested and was craving Hot & Sour Soup, which did not disappoint. It was flavorful and soothing, and I appreciate the plentiful fried wontons that added a nice crunch. Dim Sum Sampler was yummy and the meats inside were big. Roast Duck Noodle Soup and Sesame Shredded Beef were also really good and it was nice to see how much meat they packed on top. Both duck and beef were tender and juicy. Of course I over ordered so saved some leftovers for lunch the next day and it was still delicious. Notes: This was a delivery order and they were quick! Delivery person had a smile and was friendly. I have already ordered from here a couple times and will continue to do so when I'm craving a quick bite of Dim Sum and Chinese cuisine. Lots on the menu to try for next time! ”
“ High quality & reasonably priced Chinese food on the UES. Cannot speak for ambiance as I ordered takeout but everything came piping hot and delicious. Highly recommend the mai fun rice noodles and all chicken dishes. Would definitely come back to try it again and eat inside the restaurant instead of takeout only ”
“ Been living on UES for over 15 years and can't believe I waited so long to try this place. Love the table cloths. Gives the place a finer dining atmosphere. Great service. Great food. Everything we ordered was so good- pan seared pork dumplings, shredded chicken in garlic sauce, shrimp chow fun. Yum! They even offer lunch specials (M-F 11:30am-3:30pm, excluding holidays) ”
“ A group of 4 of us dined here on a winter Friday Evening. We'd arrived around 8PM EST and surprisingly had the whole restaurant for ourselves. Totally enjoyed the white tablecloth and napkins with a handmade printed rose . We ordered steamed shrimp dumplings for appetizers. The dumplings were slightly thin with a gigantic shrimp waiting to be eaten inside. It was quite tasty and we could tell it was freshly cooked prior to serving. Each order was served with 4 dumplings, which was great for two people. For drinks, my friend ordered a pot of hot green tea. And two of us ordered a glass of red and white wine each. For entree, we'd shared the below: - Orange Chicken - boneless marinated in soy sauce, and fresh ginger - Chicken with Broccoli - stirred to perfection and utterly delicious Overall the food portion was just enough for serving about two people each. Our meal was prepared exceptionally well. The atmosphere was pleasant. We had a beautiful time. The staff was so nice and caring. ”
“ Went to vibe check this new place. Clever name! We were basically there for dumplings and apps which they made fresh for us. The shrimp dumplings were pretty standard. Packed with meat and thin coating of the rice thing outside The pan seared pork dumplings were better than similar restaurants in the neighborhood - I think the filling had very good flavors The soup dumplings were good not great (I may or may not be a soup dumpling snob). As in I'm not going to order it again here. Mostly because I'm sure they make something else that is a lot better We always order Dan Dan noodles at every place we go to. Theirs was really good but it was 1-2$ above the average. Overall, not a cheap place but might become one of our takeout options ”
“ I wasn't expecting much from a Chinese dim sum restaurant this far up on the Upper East Side, but it was a lovely surprise! According to the owner, they've only just started up their weekend dim sum menu, but they are very proud of having hired a real Cantonese chef to oversee the cooking. The quality of having someone more authentic there really shines through - the dumplings (har gow, siumai) & tofu skin we're especially tasty. ”
