Tasty food and friendly service! The parking nearby is free. The veggies were vibrantly colored and cooked just right, not too mushy.

So the lady who runs this place is very odd. She always remarks on how much we order? That “nobody ever orders so much”…There was 3 of us. We each got an entree and shared an appetizer and a dessert. Seems reasonable enough to me? And why does it matter if you’re getting paid for the food? (Overcharged even at times as other reviews have pointed out) She remarks on how much we order almost like a polite complaint? Maybe it’s a foreign thing I don’t know. But I’ve been to Asian places before and nobody says anything about how much food we get. All I’m saying is; do that to someone sensitive about their weight and it’s gonna be a bad day. I’m skinny and it was mildly irritating to me. Additionally her employee had very little friendly demeanor to be found. Seemed very annoyed or confused by me simply asking for shrimp sauce? I really don’t expect for people to go over the top being nice to me,I get life is hard and work sucks but the vibe was just very uncomfortable and I don’t know why. Not like I did anything I can think of to provoke their demeanor apart from ordering, paying then asking for sauce? Pretty basic stuff… Anyway the food is pretty good for the price when charged correctly. I however will not be going back due to how awkward interacting with the staff is.

We went here looking for some good Chinese food, and ended up with flavorless food, and a high price for flavor. For us to eat it cost $52 so we expected at least decent food. However the dumpling taste and feel like mush. The rice is flavorless, and the chicken even worse. It’s hard, half cold and half hot, it’s like it’s been microwaved. The drinks had a bad after taste and after working in a kitchen, it’s because they aren’t changing the spouts to their drinks. There was no seasoning and we had to douse it in pepper. The only redeeming quality was the staff. They were funny, nice, and put forth effort to make sure we were comfortable. The restaurant has character is one way to put it. You can see where it was leaking from the roof. I don’t care about the look of a restaurant, but the quality of the food. Overall food awful, service great, and atmosphere was meh. Also to top it off, those bottles in the photos, we tried the sause, and it’s been bad for a while. Could seriously make someone sick.

This is one of the worst Asian restaurants I've ever eaten at, and I like cheap shitty Asian food. I worked in Union Square and would get Orange Chicken from this place once in awhile, thinking that maybe it would be better. It never was and everyone who worked in my office hated the smell, which was almost as bad as it tasted.
Also, tell your customers how long it will be until their take out order is ready. Basic customer service is not hard.

The old building has character but is better on the outside than inside. The ceiling had leak marks and tbe vents were filthy. The booths were very old and decapitated. When I sat down the seat cushion was wonky so I adjusted myself and when I sat back down it felt like the bottom fell out.
The staff was very pleasant and professional. I had high hopes after reading reviews but the food was only mediocre to us. Brought take out home for our kids and they didn't like it either. The egg roll was very different, and had a pungent taste, and didn't taste cabbage. The egg drop soup was okay, but a little on the bland side- just thick broth and egg, nothing else. The cream cheese wonton was good but stale. The sweet and sour chicken was pretty tasty. The fried rice however was quite different than anything I've had. It had no veggies and was yellow. The pork fried rice was terrible. Our first time there will be our last.

A/c was out on the front of the building. The owner was so nice and apologized for the a/c. The back of the building had some a/c so we decided to stay and eat. Egg foo young was so good!

Atmosphere was horrible, sesame chicken was trash and the cashier had NO personality. Reminded me of Ms. Trunchbull from Matilda. Our plates and arms stuck to the table, and we knew when the waitress was coming because we heard her feet sticking to the floor. DO NOT GO, China View is far superior.
