“All day dim sum & Cantonese cuisine. 🥡🥢“

“Great oyster mushroom and rice rolls“

“Great dinner, great setting, excellent service 👌“

“The flavor of this restaurant is actually not that far from what I had in China, and it's fairly authentic.“

“What a cutie vibey spot! If you’re looking for super authentic Chinese food, this probably isn’t the move but that doesn’t mean the food isn’t delicious!
We booked for a girls dinner and they knew their audience. Great moody lighting, a destiny’s child playlist, cozy booths, and lots of shareable options.

The staff was incredibly warm and playful too. Nico, the GM, was putting in the work. We saw him visiting every table and charmed the whole dining room. He even sent a complimentary dessert to our table.

Looking forward to going back!“

“I have been dreaming about getting rice rolls from here for years and I was not let down. The fresh shrimp rice roll was fantastic. I didn’t know what the sauces were I just put everything on them and it was amazing especially for just $4 ?!! Remember to bring cash folks! I will definitely be back the next time I’m in Chinatown.“

“Absolutely amazing dining experience. Nina was accommodating, friendly, and an absolutely delight to visit with while I waited for my food to be prepared. She knew every menu item and made great recommendations.
Food was hot, fresh, and has phenomenal flavor!

I traveled across the country to Staten Island for work but would come back just for another meal here at Lion Dance!“

“Hey Yuet, don't make it bad
Take a sad Zhong and make him better
Remember that Har Gao’s good for your heart
You know that shrimp will make it better

Hey Yuet, don't be afraid
To make Lo Mai Gai with fresh chopped ginger
The minute you serve us crispy pork skin
Then you begin to make it better

And anytime you feel the strain, Hey Yuet, refrain
Don't carry bad reviews on your shoulders
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By serving Choy Sum when it’s colder

Hey Yuet, don't let me down
Don’t douse beef tripe with too much vinegar
Remember to fill up foods on your cart
Then you can start to make it better

So let ‘em out and let ‘em in, Hey Yuet, begin
You're waiting for tables to open
And don't you know that it's just you, Hey Yuet, you'll do
Cause our love for Dim Sum has awoken

Na na na, na na na na
na na na na
Hey Yuet“

“We had a very pleasant experience on Sunday Feb 15 , 2 pm at Moon Kee. It was a party of 10 at one of the round tables, for a birthday. Some people were quite hungry, so we started ordering dim sum right away from the trolleys that were making the rounds. All of the dim sum dishes were excellent. The main dishes that came later were also on point: well cooked, tasty and quite large portions. Very few of us were able to finish our meals; many take-away containers were required. The staff kindly helped us serve out a birthday cake that we had brought in. My only small critique, which brought the atmosphere rating down to 4 stars, was that our table, which was the round one closest to the front door, would get blasted by a cold draft whenever the door opened. I recommend that they install some sort of windbreak entrance as you see at many restaurants.
Overall, a delightful experience, large quantities of delicious food at reasonable prices. Will definitely be going back, and will recommend to others.“

“My family and I ate dinner there last night. The food was all delicious! Our server was great. Actually, everyone working was great. I liked that we were asked if anyone had any food allergies. Our cocktails lived up to their descriptions. I definitely will be returning to Red Bowl!“

“Good food with a price you cannot beat.“

“The flavor of this restaurant is actually not that far from what I had in China, and it's fairly authentic.“

“We found a new Chinatown favorite here… highly recommend! ❤️“

“Thankful that the restaurant was able to take our reservation, day of, on Mother's Day no less, for over 20+ people. C'mon now, at a Chinese restaurant, this is top-notch service, deserving of 5 stars for that alone! The food was good - I do think SoCal (626) Chinese food is better, but it's right there and it hit the spot. Did I mention they took our reservation, day of, on Mother's Day? Good stuff!“

“Very friendly staff and amazing pastries! Would definitely come back again!“

“Authentic Cantonese cuisine. I was brought up in Guangzhou and these dishes here are the same delicious as the ones I had back in Guangzhou.“

“I recently discovered that this Chinese restaurant is offering a lunch special. We must maintain quality. Don't sacrifice the quality of our dishes for the sake of increasing traffic. Packed fried chicken I'll try the braised fish set meal next time. We hope to invent more cost-effective package options.“

“Incredible Food. Incredibly attentive and professional staff. Instant favorite.“

“amazing authentic chinese food“

“Had dinner there tonight celebrating my mom’s birthday, good food attentive service“

“Good authentic Cantonese food. It's really nice to have a place like this in Chinatown. Need to clean up their bathroom a little more, not having paper towels is NOT okay.“

“Cheap take out
And the food taste pretty good but very salty tho.
I like their broccoli beef or broccoli chicken.
Their fried chicken wings good too.
Crispy outside, very juicy inside.
And they got lunch special special around $6-8 with a drink.
Not bad at all!“

“Chinatown gem for authentic Cantonese—East Season delivers big, fresh flavors! Food was outstanding: roast duck crispy-skinned and juicy, shrimp har gow plump and translucent, BBQ pork tender and sweet-savory, and live clam stir-fry garlicky and briny. Portions huge—great value.
Service was quick and friendly (they hustle during busy times). Atmosphere is classic and energetic—big tables, clattering carts, family vibe—feels like real dim sum chaos in the best way, though it's loud and crowded.“

“Super fresh food and top quality service. Thank you.“

“Superb food and presentation.. pleasantly surprised to find this level service and food in Manhattan’s original Chinatown! Felt like HongKong❣️“

“A youtuber reviewed this place i went to check it out order slice beef rice congee and roast pork . Ask the roast pork to be fatty cut both i took home to eat and it was good.
The front staff was friendly to me and evan gave e extra bag when e saw me riding my bike.“

“Several booths inside from Cantonese to Korean. Fresh rice paste and many more delicious dishes.“

“Yao is such a hidden gem. I was researching Cantonese restaurants that could host a large party for a birthday dinner without crazy dining room fees and found out about Yao. The space is beautiful and they have round tables big enough to seat up to 14 people. They were very responsive when I called. Service was great all evening and they didn’t even charge me extra fees for bringing an external cake. They even gave us knives to cut and Tupperware for each guest to take a slice home. The food was great and I loved how comfortable and big the table was for my whole party. Also there’s a lot of Asians at this restaurant which means you know the food is good. Highly recommend!!“

“Considering all the Chinese restaurant restaurants in Manhattan's Chinatown, Yin Ji Chang Fen certainly must rank among the best.“

“Great food great service. Nice price“

“Very friendly staff and amazing pastries! Would definitely come back again!“

“THIS IS THE WORST SERVICE I' VE EVER HAD IN NEW YORK. FIRST，we are in line to wait for a table. A couple left and a 50 year old like woman waitress asked us to sit. But then, we were told by another young waitress to leave the table cuz the table should be for another couple. Ok we gave the seats to them. But I heard that old waitress said we lied to her that we were the next customer for seats. I was angry. Then we got the seats after we were called. Unfortunately we got the seats but we sat right next to that couple. That man kept noticing us and murmuring to the woman. They kept verbally abusing us with all bad words. I felt uncomfortable. I could hear that old lady waitress said sth bad about us to the young waitress. After they left, we ready to check out. The young waitress had ignored us like two times amd even she put her back facing to us and just pretended not to hear anything. I was like#%^*+-/^*+=[{{%^}*{+!!!! Finally that waitress came over with fake smile after I said I would not go there anymore. I gave them tips and they kept saying thank you and I just ignored them. My announcement: I definitely won't step in there any more in my life!!! The service is THE WORST and MEAN, that old lady waitress kept making people around misunderstood us and jut did not admit her fault. This person is not Honest and just pushed responsibility on other innocent customers which made us felt bad and sad!!! So frustrated as being same as Chinese, they behaved in this such a way!!! We order some food and they just tasted not as good as we expected. Just normal food which you can definitely get something better somewhere else!!! WILL DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE FOR A GOOD MOOD YO EAT!!! IT WILL RUIN YOUR DAY!!! ABSOLUTELY NOT RECOMMENDING "LIKE CAFE" with the worst service I've ever received in my life!!!!“

“It's a storefront, wheelchair accessible. I dine in and also had takeout. You should try the special lunch menu, one big dish with rice.

If you order takeout, The dish and the rice are packed separately.

It's a Cantonese restaurant.“

“A very cozy and earnest place with authentic Chinese food in the form of small bites and classic dishes. The duck was super succulent and came with cucumber, scallion and traditional Chinese wraps. We also had the lamb and beef skewers which were so tender and flavorful! Definitely one of my favorites.

Saw lots of people who also dug into the hot pot and the grilled bass stewed in the big trays which also looked amazing. Will definitely be trying those next time around.

All in all a hidden gem with unassuming vibes but very cute decor (and funny! If you're in the private room in the back 😉). The plating and dishes are creative while still staying true to their roots.“

“If you know what’s authentic, come, the duck and geese is exactly how they made it in Guangdong. It is actually shocking how they can get it so right. If you don’t know what’s up, keep your distance and stop leaving bad review because your tastes lack variety or they did not give you a fine dinning experience. This is a 10 dollar meat over rice place ffs“

“The food at this newly opened restaurant was excellent. My family of 15 ate here for the Mid-Autumn festival and ordered a variety of dishes- including a salted fish fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, pan fried flounder, etc. All were excellent. The service is standard. The restaurant also got really loud so it was difficult to hear across the table.“

“I came to Cha Kee to eat on a Saturday afternoon. There was no wait! If you see a line outside, it’s most likely because of the neighboring Mei Lai Wah bakery, which you can walk past and go directly to the counter inside to get seated. The restaurant interior is clean and spacious, with plenty of seating, though some tables are connected, meaning parties could be seated close together. We were seated at a private booth and quickly ordered. I had the HK-style milk tea with ice, and it was strong and tasted amazing. The hot version was also pretty good. I think the condensed milk addition really sets this drink apart from other types of milk tea, and Cha Kee used a strong tea blend, really making this drink perfect. I ate the baked spaghetti, which is my go-to at HK cafes. Meanwhile, the stir fried rice noodles with squid was also delicious and perfectly seasoned. I also enjoyed a side of the peanut butter and condensed milk toast, but I think it could use more peanut butter and condensed milk to make it taste even better. I would highly recommend Cha Kee to anyone looking for a traditional HK cafe experience.“

“Awesome food, and staff was great“

“Confused by previous reviews that state no one eats here anymore, as sitting here at lunchtime on a recent weekday showed a flurry of both delivery orders and dine-in customers. The menu is for sure pan-Asian/reflective of American-Chinese dishes, but also serves some specifically Chinese dishes, such as a few dim sum favorites that are harder to find unless you're at a Cantonese restaurant. Lunch special is a great deal with sizeable portions. Love that they keep the fridge stocked with desserts (believe some of them are from Vegan Treats?) and often have additional off-menu homemade items for sale at the counter or in the fridge, including ones related to Chinese cultural holidays. Always glad to support this small family-run business and have personally found their food to be consistent for the wide range of what they're cranking out of their kitchen! Hope they keep sticking around for years to come, as it's a great vegan option in this immediate area. Updated from previous review on 2026-03-01“

“Decent food selection. Very suited for 2-4 proplr but you can call ahead and they move the tables to make it work. My favorite 3 items are the sigapore curry mei fan but i switch with ho fun (noodle preference and i think it tastes way better). My other 2 items are the clay pot rice and 3 bbq meats ober rice. They offer hot tea and warm water as well!“

“Came here for a late lunch along with my infant son. Left impressed with the food and the value of their lunch portions. The salt and pepper pork and fish casserole dish were my favorites here. The staff were accommodating and took time from their own lunch break to serve us. The only downside is that this place is quite far from where I live.“

“Definitely one of the best roasted meat in I ate. Their beef with noodles are amazing. A must try if your in Chinatown NY.“

“價格便宜，好味！ 正“

“This place has great tasting Cantonese style Chinese food. Every we've ordered has been perfectly seasoned with lots of flavor yet not overly salty. We've had the salt & pepper pork chops, chicken & eggplant with salted dried fish, fried tofu, roast garlic chicken, beef and broccoli, clams with black bean sauce, and beef chow fun.“

“LOVE LOVE LOVE OLLIE’s !! The food is always consistently great!! #LoveChineseFood Super friendly staff!!!“

“The food here is phenomenal! I wish we'd taken photos but we stumbled into this place while escaping the rain and were surprised (and a little cautious) after finding it empty (it was a weekday lunch in a more residential area, though 10 mins walk from The MET). I had the best scallion pancakes here and our group got homestyle beancurd and a chicken dish (I think it was general tso). Everything was perfect and quite reasonable for the area! I'd say this place is a must visit!!“
