Best dim sum in NYC. We do go to Chinatown dim sum for the fun atmosphere, however, nothing is better than this icon of the Upper East Side. A gem.

We live around the corner and have been ordering delivery from evergreen for years.Prices are higher compared to other Chinese restaurants in the area, portions are smaller. What prompted this review is my recent experience (all of my latest orders!) when I have to “beg” for duck sauce to be included for every dish we order.They started being too cheap and don’t give out any extras. They once charged me few dollars for an extra duck sauce on top of my $100+ lunch order. The only reason we have been asking fur ‘extra’ duck sauce as you receive a tiny container which is only 1/4 or 1/3 full ?!?! Are you guys that cheap? Please see the bill for three basic dishes and two tiny appetizers. Tip isn’t reflected on this bill. We always tip!

Monique, the hostess, was very welcoming and gracious. The dim sum was delicious, flavorful, and hot. The staff was all very attentive as they came around often to fill our teapots and give us new plates. The frog legs and Vancouver crab dishes were so fresh and delicious.

I live just a couple of blocks from this spotless cafe with friendly service, but upon bringing dinner home recently, remembered why it was so long since last doing it.The food is pretty much tasteless; watery egg drop soup and spareribs unimproved by an abundant amount of duck sauce.Wish it had been better.

Bare space, not much to say about decor. When I checked in, I got a Yelp pop up that stated I was entitled to a free order of dim sum. The waiter was dismissive and said "that's from before the pandemic." Really? If so, change it. We shared har gow, soup dumplings, garlic chicken and shrimp chow fun. The food was OK. My wife liked it more than I did. There's better in the area.

Best Chinese on the Upper East Side. Have been enjoying Evergreen for 15+ years. Always tasty.

The lunch specials here are more expensive than in other Chinese restaurants in the neighborhood. The prices are higher ($35.95 for 2 orders, tax included) but do not come with soup, soda or egg roll offered by others.The food is ok. They did accommodate my request to have a vegetable dish made into a lunch portion because the list for lunch specials is limited.

Ordered the orange beef and general’s chicken. Both were coated in a thick, sticky sauce. The chicken was mushy, the beef was full of fat. All around awful.
Worst place I have ever been. Tried to charge me 50 dollars for chicken and rice. I was there ordered the same meal 3 days earlier and it was 24 dollars still expensive but it’s the upper east side. Don’t go here it’s always empty now I know why.

If I could give them a zero I would have..This restaurant used to be terrific.. What happened?? I had a lunch special today haven't been there in months..For starters they no longer give you free tea.. How chinzy can a restaurantr get?? How much could a cup of tea cost! The soup was a tiny little bowl not even hot. The main course a chicken dish, was half of what they used to serve and bland, missing a lot of the ingredients that used to make it so good.. Everything has been very downsized except for the price. Not expensive but so not worth even $20 .Such a disappointment..I doubt if the great reviews posted are current..Sadly,this is not the same restaurant anymore..

Best Chinese food in the neighborhood, we order take out from here almost ever over week. The food is good and the delivery has always been fast. We've also dined in and the service has been great. The place is clean and roomy including the bathrooms.
