This place serves yummy Chinese food. The service is excellent. The staff is quick, but almost robotic. The price increased a bit, please don't change the prices, but the quality and portions are great. I will definitely try them again. If you have not yet tried them, give them a try!

It is what it purports to be - not haute cuisine but budget friendly, tasty food. Sometimes, the dumplings are all the meal I need.

This is a Chinese takeout spot!! I ordered two dinner meals and they included a free soda. I called a few minutes earlier for pickup and when I arrived they had it ready for me. The lady who was in the front was very kind and sweet. Great price, $9.50 each plate better than most Chinese takeout spots. Food was warm and cooked correctly. Would recommend for cheap eats in UWS. Thank you

Had highs for this place, but sorry to say it is cheap food with an aftertaste that will send you running for the Tums. Additional notes, this is not really an eat in place, as the broken down chairs and tables are more for waiting then eating. My suggestion unfortunately, is to take the B train down to Chinatown , as Chinese food is lacking in the area.

0 stars if i could. Chicken with feathers, rice flavorless and barely any pork —-I hate doing bad reviews but i ordered my usual favorite - wings and pork fried rice.This was the first time getting food here, i usually order at another local store when im in the mood for chinese takeout.But my chicken pieces were poorly cleaned, there were feathers poking out of the fried skin and of 4 pieces, 3 had feathers.My appetite was gone.And fried rice is my fave , so i was sad when this order was flavorless and soggy, and there were hardly any pieces of pork. No veggies or sprouts or anything either. Boring and disappointing.The lady at the counter was nice and friendly, the food was ready fast. And the price was fair.But of course I won’t be back because I can’t get over the feathers!

3.5 Solid cheap Chinese. Not amazing but tasty enough and inexpensive. Had the General Tso's and sweet and sour chicken. Worst part is you have to call them to order.

Before I ordered Hawaii 5-0, I specifically asked if there was real lobster in the dish. I confirmed that it was not the fake crab meat. The guy went so far as to tell me that it was lobster tail. Well, I've got a full plate of fake crabmeat. I can not express how disappointed I am. The meal overall is decently cooked but full of fake crabmeat that even my cat won't eat. Why lie? Why not just say so, so I could substitute?

We ordered a to-go dinner (egg rolls, hot&sour soup, chicken fried rice, beef & broccoli) from here a summer ago. They were just about to close but were very kind and took our order, very promptly had the food ready and even comped us an iced tea which I didn’t realize that I really wanted and needed. This place hits the spot for when one is jonesing for those Chinese food take out meals seen in nyc movies and tv shows.

It's essentially your classic neighborhood Chinese take out joint they also has a decent number of seats inside. It's not a fine dining atmosphere, but they still bring the food to your table, which I hadn't expected (not typical for a carryout joint). So now I go there whenever I'm in the neighborhood.

Classic Chinese take out spot. Staff is great, super consistent, good portions and value. Always cooked fresh and they’re quick but it’s nice that you can call in your order to avoid a wait.

Beem coming here for over 10 years. The food is still good and cost of a full lunch is still the best in the neighborhood.
