First Monday in NYC, this place grabbed my eye with a delicious looking spicey beef noodle soup. It was terrific, well balanced and basily.

we got there at 9 25 pm ,were seated by the hostess.2 minutes after 3 people stopped in to take our order .I explained to the them i neede little more time to order.After they left a guy that looked more like a bouncer than the owner came and yelled 2MINUTES.We proceeded to give the order ,i wanted soup and a main dish.I sked him to bring one at the time ,he was rude and said he has to bring them both at the same time.We stood up and got out of there fast.Those guys should run a. car was ,or a laundry cleaner.They do not understand any thing about the hospitality business.

The food was excellent with a wide variety of dishes. They were able to provide plant based options. And informed our party of which dishes might not be suitable for people with nut allergies. I would highly recommend going here for a wonderful dinner.

The lady at the desk was welcoming and let us order to go. The service was fast and they treated us very well. The food we got was better than usual Chinese food. We had chicken fried rice, vegetable pan fried dumplings and the jellyfish. I have to say that the fried rice was a huge hit. My 3 yr old is so picky with rice and he literally shoveled this rice in. The flavor was amazing. The jellyfish was also the most amazing I've ever had. When I get jellyfish other places it's usually either super chewy or crunchy and the flavors usually lack. This place had jellyfish with a slight crunch but still very chewable and the flavor was the most amazing (scallion and sesame). Most people will see jellyfish and be scared away, but this place has the best. If you're ever going to try it, literally this place is where you start. Next time I come to the city I'm bringing my whole family to this place. Thank you for the most delicious meal and making my child so happy that he was full and was a happy boy the whole train ride home.

This is not authentic Chinese food. At best, it should be labeled American Chinese–style, but the restaurant claims it is Sichuan cuisine, which is misleading.

Please do not call this dish 鱼香肉丝 just because it contains pork and garlic. That alone does not define the dish. What was served looks nothing like real 鱼香肉丝—the chef clearly has never seen or understood what this classic dish actually is.

As a Chinese customer, this is genuinely upsetting. It feels disrespectful to the culture—like putting durian and pineapple on pizza, or cutting spaghetti with scissors, and still calling it authentic Italian food.

If you want to serve Americanized Chinese food, that’s fine—but please don’t misrepresent it as traditional Sichuan cuisine.

I ordered beef noodle soup which had 2 smallest pieces of beef so i ordered general tso chicken, figured that at least i can eat chicken meat. But eventually general tso chicken had two pieces of chicken with lots of breading and like 6 pieces of only breading. I payed $29.30 for bout dishes and came out from restaurant hungry amd angry 😩

well, fast and cheap with a varied choice. Great location in the midtown. To be booked in advance especially on weekends.

Great menu, delicious food, reasonably priced for the area in NYC. Pretty decor! The lobster 🦞 is always a good choice!
