Casual place. Good food, good deal. But the atmosphere is so so.

Delicious and a great cheap lunch special ($6.50 for a sizable helping of sesame chicken, rice, and really nice tea). The soup dumplings are great and the sesame chicken was just like I like it- not too sticky/candyish, and with quality meat. My bf had the beef with dried radish and green beans and honestly, I wanted to steal it all from him. I'll definitely be coming back.

I can only speak for the soup dumplings as that is all I ordered. I'm pretty skilled on how to eat these but each one opened and all the broth leaked out and they deflated. The broth was lackluster in flavor and the pork inside also meh and small. Also the restaurant was empty and she tried to seat me at a table which had 1 chair even though I was carrying shopping bags, a purse and wearing a big winter coat.

Nothing like made to order dumplings, you can watch them make your dumplings too. Amazing and juicy in a traditional Chinese setting minus all the annoying tourists, if you are in Chinatown you must stop in, you won't hear English spoken unless you are being addressed. Very friendly and casual atmosphere, it's like a mini trip to Asia. If you are looking for an authentic Chinese experience look no further.

A hidden gem in Chinatown, much underrated! I love their dim sum, all kinds are tasty and traditional. Plum sauce duck was sooo good, a must-try in this place.

Best soup dumplings!! Equally as awesome, if not better than Joe's Shanghai, but a waaaay better price! Tourists, don't be fooled by the reviews, come to where the real New Yorkers eat

I have tried salt and pepper pork chops at most of the places in Chinatown in multiple boroughs and this is the winner. It's always juicy, tender and fried to perfection. It just hits the spot every time. I always ask for the homemade chili sauce and ginger scallion sauce on the side. It goes with everything. Love this spot.
I'm not a local of this type food buts it's delicious and definitely should try it out and give a chance. Food is tasty and feels home made. There is plenty of seating it's on a main road slight below street level. Next door is a parking garage. Service is helpful with questions.

Great Cantonese home dishes. Try their traditional double braised fish. Lobster fried rice is the bomb! Must try.

I'm no expert in Chinese food but this was delicious. I highly recommend it for people who are looking for authentic Cantonese food. The service was fast and friendly. I can't recall the name of the dishes but my friends ordered a lobster dish, small fried fish, mapo tofu, congee, whole chicken with crispy skin. Everything was amazing and sad because we don't live in NY so we can't visit often :'(.

The perfect hole in the wall restaurant with authentic food and atmosphere. Their homemade spicy side sauce is so good! You will enjoy a great meal, not rushed, and genuinely nice wait staff. We found all plates shareable amongst three people! With leftovers which is rare in any NYC restaurant. Definitely a place to sit enjoy good chow and not break the wallet. Will return.

Authentic Cantonese food! The service was very nice! Patient and considerate! Needless to say the food, we were recommended for the homemade soup, which is typical Cantonese flavor. Ox tail also tastes great! Good source of protein! Definitely recommend a second try! 老板娘态度超好！煲汤很正宗！下次还要来吃煲仔饭！
