Good Chinese food in the upper east side is hard to find. This place is no exception. Food mediocre at best. The delivery is fast and the prices are cheap for the area but the taste is just not there. Skip it.

This place is a joke. It is an insult that on the Upper East Side of Manhattan there are no decent Chinese takeouts. The woman who answers the phone is a Chinese Hitler. She answers, does not say hello, and put the phone down as you here this sorry excuse for a human take in-person orders. Good luck ordering on a weekend. The delivery boy is the reason AI was invented. Absent in every way. The sad thing is their wontons are delicious. Everything else is hit or miss and definitely not worth the drama of trying to order.

They close at 10pm which is pretty early in NYC. The food is average. Nothing to write home about. It's pricey now as inflation has taken its toll on everything. However, if you look at their website it has old prices when the food was decent for the price. Now the food is I'm craving for dirty Chinese food. Very situational.

It might need some renovations, but beside that the establishment is pretty good. Staff are alright and they're quick to take your order. Highly recommend their small fried shrimp with

This is still our go-to. The food is prepared very quickly, the prices are amazing, and the portions very generous. The hidden gem is the wonton soup which is a steal for the quality - the meat filling is quite generous and the flavor is on-point. The General Tso's chicken and eggplant with beef or chicken generally make it into the order, along with the shrimp with lobster sauce. PLUS, their rice is among the best in the area - perfectly cooked and fluffy.

$7 lo mein (small) - noodles, vegetables, and a light soy sauce. Extremely healthy and tasty and like it should be. Does not contain any sugar or excessive amounts of oil like I see elsewhere.Vegetarian options: LOTS of their Chinese dishes have vegetarian/vegan options.Dietary restrictions: Very easy to avoid lactose & the excessive amounts of sugar that I see at other restaurants. Food is very simple.
Best sesame chicken I've had in a long time. Cheap combo meals

General Tso chicken was actually crispy. And it didn't taste like old oil. Fried shrimp tasted very fresh. Hard to find decent Chinese food but this is it.
