Overpriced, bland and skimpy portions. There has to be better options on the UWS.
I have tried this place two times and all I can say is never again.

It was my first time for trying Chinese food. Overall we liked it. Their location and view to the street is perfect 🤩

I've been going here for years but now I'm going to stop. Recently they've raised prices and the quantity of filler (broccoli, vegetables, pineapple, etc.) in the entrees is getting out of control. In an order of beef and broccoli I had 8 huge stocks of broccoli and 3 very small pieces of beef. The pork buns were really good and now are completely unrecognizable. They were in pieces, torn open, they looked like someone had picked through them with their fingers. They were still very willing to box it up and sell it to me, and when I commented on the very different appearance, the response I was met with was "then don't order it. We can't be expected to check the quality of everything" The service has always been bad but the food was worth it. Not anymore.

I forgot how good these guys are! Correction, how AMAZING these guys are, I give them 4 on serving cause they are a bit slow but the food is cooked to perfection, the soup is clear, yet flavorful, the beef is carefully seasoned and tender, everything is fresh, you will not want to go anywhere else after you ate here, delivery is open until 1145pm , best of the best, and that beef tomato pic was a fantastic lunch, highly recommend!!

The man that brought the food was extremely rude to us. We order pork chops, the menu do not indicates it is breaded or that it has a gravy; when we ask about the gravy the man started yelling back at us. Never coming back.

I ordered noodles and chicken yakitori, however, they should’ve called it chicken yuckytori on the menu. Let me tell you, it was bad. I hate writing reviews but I was just so disappointed and nauseous after only eating ONE bite. I lived in China I know what authentic and good Chinese food tastes like but this was as far as possibly imaginable from it. One time, big mistake, never again. Lesson learnt
