Cantonese Restaurants in New York, NY

“Great oyster mushroom and rice rolls“

“Great dinner, great setting, excellent service 👌“

“Our server was absolutely outstanding . I wish I could remember her name. The food was the best meal we ate in New York. I ambiance was perfect. The entire group was impressed and are still talking about it a week later. Would recommend to anyone.“

“I came here for a friend's birthday dinner and we had an amazing time. The interior of the restaurant is spacious and I love the cozy but very Chinese decor. Our waitress was so nice, easy to talk to, and fun. The service was really quick.

We ordered hot and sour soup, peking pork, string beans, honey walnut shrimp, beef chow fun, short ribs, beef stew and radish casserole, and salted fish and eggplant casserole. Everything was delicious. My favorites were their peking pork, string bean, and casserole dishes. The honey walnut shrimp was good but the portions were okay for a group of 9. The beef chow fun was a great portion but I wish there was more flavor. Loved the short rib. They gave us complimentary watermelon at the end, as well as birthday flan for my friends and I. Had a great time and I think this is the perfect spot for some casual Chinese food with a big group of people (We got 10 dishes and the total ended up being only $240, post-tax for a group of 9! We all left STUFFED).“

“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“

“Shockingly good dim sum. Very authentic and better than most other dim sum places I have been in Manhattan. The regular dishes are also very good and priced reasonably. Service is quick and attentive, and the servers speak both Cantonese and Mandarin. Definitely my new go to place for Cantonese food in the neighborhood.“

“Chicken, duck, pork, rice and cabbage—oh my. Super tasty. Out does everyone in the zip code. No exaggeration.“

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

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

“Got the brand sampler. A meal for $19.60.
Here’s what I thought of each item
Har gow / shrimp siu mai - 3/5, hard to get wrong, just didn’t love it, even with the soy sauce.
Chicken siu mai - 5/5, was my favorite
Sticky rice wrap - 1/5, mushroom and sticky rice was not my favorite
BBQ pork bun - 1/5, wasn’t my thing
Crispy shrimp roll - 4/5, pretty good“

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

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

“Food and service is amazing!“

“I’m born and raised in Hawaii. I know that great dim sum is all about! Royal Seafood is OUTSTANDING!

Their food is SUPERB…. their staff is pleasantly “typical” of a cart style dim sum restaurant!

DEFINITELY A MUST!! N“

“We missed the M9 and decided to hustle over a block for rice rolls over at Sun Hing Lung Ho Fun Tofu - and we’re so glad we did. Only in Chinatown can you get so much good food for 4 people (we only have 3 but one is a teen!) for less than $20! We ordered the dried shrimp rice roll (yummy and has fresh green onion!!!), fresh shrimp rice roll, beef rice roll, pork rice roll, fresh tofu, and decided to try the jelly they had stacked on a table (it’s jello that comes with a sweet sauce to pour on top) and the grand total was less than $20!
This isn’t Cheung Fun Noodles but the variety and kindness of the nice woman at the window made this just as great! Definitely a must go for rice rolls if you’re shopping at the grocery and hangry :)“

“We stopped in because most members of our group wanted the Peking Duck. It was a really good restaurant with good service. Most of the table had the Duck. My girlfriend believed it was good. I had the sesame chicken with broccoli, it was good. In addition we had a seafood stew, black pepper pork chop. We shared everything so the portions were rather large.“

“Food was good. Sweet and sour chicken: chicken was cooked well and seemed like better quality than other places. Sauce flavor was not amazing. Everything else was pretty good and authentic Hong Kong dim sum. Staff look professional and you can tell they work hard. I have to be back on the weekend to try the baked pork buns! “

“The food is delicious and great customer service. Will come again?“

“An upscale Cantonese restaurant that delivers on both flavor and presentation, though with prices to match. The interior is sleek and modern, a perfect spot for special occasions. We were super impressed by the flavor of every dish: the salt-baked chicken was incredibly tender and flavorful, the hot stone mushroom rice had rich umami notes and a delightful crispiness, and the scallion oil steamed fish was simple yet well executed with mostly deboned filets, the snow pea tips was hearty with chanterelle mushrooms added on top, and the braised abalone and pork was rich and decadent.

Every dish hit the mark, and the service was attentive and thoughtful throughout the meal. Overall, it’s a great spot for splurging on a special occasion or for a premium Cantonese dining experience.“

“Cha Kee is a HK Style Cha Chaan Teng located in the heart of NYC's Chinatown. They didn't have any physical menus when I went, however I assume you could ask for them if you don't have a mobile device.

The service is quick and efficient, much easier to order things if you know Cantonese, but English works fine as well.

The atmosphere is like a HK style cafe, with some big tables and smaller tables spread throughout. It would be best to come here with a party of around 3-5.

The food was great. I came during brunch, so it was focused on HK style breakfast foods. The Porkchop over fries was crispy and not too oily. The Rice Cakes in XO Sauce had both a sweetness to it that was complimented well with the peanut sauce. The only thing that was kind of eh was the Salt & Pepper Vegetables. It was a little too salty for the taste, and it ended up overwhelming the dish.

Overall a good place to visit if one of the other Cha Chaan Tengs are too crowded.“

“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.“

“Awesome Chinese food and very authentic Chinese cuisine. Great for dim sum and also for dinner. It is a neighborhood gem and one of my favorite restaurants in Chinatown.“

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

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

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

“Awesome food, and staff was great“

“My boyfriend and I ate here after the Lunar New Year Parade. They were packed yet accommodating. This was our first time and the food was delicious. I got the beef pan fried noodles and he got the roast pork over rice. We were both glad with the meal and happy we checked out this place.“

“After 40 years of going.. food and the servers are still the best! Love going!“

“I can say that is alternative to Golden Unicorn, just down the same street end of the block. Food is really good and could be better, and service is at best in a very busy place. The Price is very reasonable and overall it’s good x2. Will come again with pics to prove.“

“Very good food helpful and very good service“

“Good food at a decent price in a well-lit restaurant. Very happy with my meal.“

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

“I've been meaning to put these positive thoughts in writing. The meal was worth every penny. The employees create service experiences worth mentioning. After becoming a local resident, finding this restaurant was wonderful. I found this notable restaurant while browsing Yelp.“

“Guess my previous review got deleted…I’ll try and make this one more, PC.

Is this the best dum sum on the UWS? I guess, not like there’s many options. Their dumplings are consistently good.

The other options on the UWS are fancier, not as dated but you will pay even more $$$. We mostly order dim sum, Their noodles are also solid but outside of those two areas it’s- hit or miss.

Yes, it’s $$$ than Chinatown but it’s the price you pay for not having to leave the neighborhood and still getting decent Cantonese dishes.

Destination? Only for those on the westside from the 70s to Inwood.

Outdoor dining is available, weather permitting, bring the puppy! Bonus.“

“Our favorite restaurant in UWS. The service is great. We 💗 the food with a friendly ambiance. The restaurant is clean and goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience.“

“I’m from China and had been long craving authentic good quality Chinese food. When I was in NYC this summer with my parents and boyfriend, we went to try this place out, and that was one of the best meal I had in my life! We tried Beijing duck and skewers as well as some vegetable dishes, everything was so delicious, nicely put together, and other items on the menu also looked authentic and delicious. Will visit this restaurant every time I come to NYC.“

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

“You cannot come here and expect Michelin style service. This is a old school local restaurant in Chinatown and is a good spot for a quick lunch or affordable dinner. I am a millennial but I frequent this restaurant because it is important to me to keep these local restaurants open for the benefit of the community. Their lunch specials are $8.50 everyday and there is a huge selection of dishes you can choose from. You can get walnut shrimp for dinner for around $20 whereas every other restaurant in the neighborhood charges $30 now.“

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

“I don't live near a good Chinese restaurant anymore (in my area the Chinese is all low-end take-out places with barely any vegan options) and the vast menu at Ginger Root was a delight. We loved everything we tried, including mushroom dumplings, fried king oyster mushrooms, cold green tea noodles, beef chow fun, sauteed baby bok choi, and the chocolate peanut butter bundt cake. Wish we lived nearby so we could try everything!!!“
