The place is really cute. I loved the decor. That was the only thing I loved - the interior decor. The food was meh. The Crispy Duck was not crispy at all. The Mushu Lamb was so sour you don’t even taste the lamb. Not impressed and would not come back again.

Fantastic Chinese restaurant. Not cheap but the dim sum and the duck rolls are amazing and 100% worth it. Cocktails are good

Found this late night gem after seeing Sweeny Todd at the theatre.Unfortunately, the kitchen was going to be closed in half an hour, so we only ordered the House Chicken Fried Rice, Shrimp Dumplings, and Sweet & Sour Pork Ribs. My only complaint is I wished we ordered more before the kitchen closed; it was all delicious!! ??The service was quick. Even the Jasmine tea served had a delicious flavour. We'll have to come back here the next time in NYC.

I’m from Beijing. Been here many times. I really liked this place.However today’s service was a huge disappointment. People were rude, and the food was just okay.

Come here every time am in NYC. Best Chinese cuisine I've ever had, and I've been dining out for more than 50 years. Imagine PF Chang's but WAAAAAY BETTER. And the opposite of pricey. Skip booze and it's easy to do dinner for two with appetizer and delicious green tea, for less than 40 dollars.

The whole restaurant is clean and well taken care of. Beautiful too. I took a group of 7 classmates here for a Chinese project (I ended up doing most of the ordering, haha) and the staff were very warm and accommodating. They let our group of high schoolers film the food and the staff (part of our project) and I hope we didn’t make them too uncomfortable, lol. Food is amazing as always. I’ve been here many times and they never disappoint. Would recommend 海胆石锅豆腐(hot stone uni tofu) and the house fried rice.Will be visiting soon this week!!
