We went here on April 27th 2024 ordered crab meat soup dumplings and the dough was too thick and you couldn't taste the crab at all. The Shanghai fried rice and chicken lo mein was average at best. The waiter spilled the tea cup on our table and didn't even apologize. Defiantly one of the worst restaurants in Chinatown

Too expensive and too oily

My coworker and I decided to venture into Chinatown for an authentic Asian food experience here in New York. We were pleasantly surprised by the delicious offerings. While the service was just okay, the staff remained friendly and accommodating despite the bustling crowd. This level of attention during busy times is often a good sign. Overall, we left satisfied with our meal and grateful for the chance to savor authentic Asian cuisine. If you find yourself in the area, I definitely recommend giving this place a try.

NY Chinatown is a lot to take in. Coming from out of town, it's hard to decide where to eat. This restaurant is one of the more spacious ones I've walked past. I was a bit worried because mostly foreigners were eating here. Later, the large table next to us was taken by a Chinese family having a celebration, so I felt better. :-) We had the Xiao Long Bao (soup dumpling), the Shanghai Steamed dumpling, and the Beef Pancake. Portions were smaller than what I'm used to for the price, but hey this is NYC. The XLB was pretty good. The steamed dumpling was average. The pancake on the Beef pancake was literally a crispy flaked scallion pancake, and the sauce was tasty. But sadly some of the beef was grisly and tough. Overall, the food was good and authentic. Some reviews blasted this place for unethical service charges. But I did not witness this. We were just a party of 2. My son went to the bathroom, said it was clean enough. But the person before did number 2 and did not flush. I don't know what to make of that. As can't blame the restaurant for that?

Not recommendable.- Loading means something different in real life than on Google Maps.- Food very oily- Chicken not cooked through. Hopefully we don't get food poisoning...- Tips are calculated automatically

We had a nice meal - dumplings, pan-fried noodles, soup dumplings, orange chicken and some other entrees. All were very good. Be careful with the tipping. My spouse mentioned they added it for you and then had a tip line. Other than that, we enjoyed our food and would come by again. Enjoy

Authentic Shanghaiese food. Delicious and large proportion. I tried their specialty. Tea flavored shrimp and salty egg with crab. We had a big party. The service is very attentive.

Be careful not to tip twice. We were not happy that the 20% tip already included the receipt without notifying, and just for two people. We almost tipped twice. We found most customers of this restaurant are tourist or foreigners. Many people would tip twice....
One star? Yes!! These food gave me a horrible diarrhea. The pork ribs was cold and meatless, the fried rice was so so, and the tip fee, after that horrible and rude service, was even crazy! I didn't like it at all!

The pork fried rice was awesome. The fried dumplings were also good. General Tso chicken was so-so, and the beef and broccoli was good, but it wasn't great. I was with a group, so we ate family style. It was hard to get a good bead as I was trying everything. Service and atmosphere were good. The area is super packed, and parking was nuts. I will definitely return and hopefully update.

Visiting from Florida and this was my third time visiting this restaurant. The food did not disappoint however the service was horrible and pissed me off in the end. The server disappeared and asked two people to get him because I wanted order more. After that, I had to get up a go to the front desk and get my check. At this point, I was over it.
