La Caridad 72 offers authentic Chinese Cuban cuisine on the Upper West Side. The meat dishes are tender and the side dishes are filling. The cozy interior creates a welcoming atmosphere, and the recent reopening has brought back the familiar charm of this beloved spot at 78th. The new owner, the 5th generation, has maintained the same great food, now with a slightly fancier touch. Customers have praised the warm welcome at the door and friendly service, especially mentioning the waitress Anna, whose hospitality made guests feel at home. The pork chop remains a favorite, and the overall dining experience is enhanced by the welcoming environment and delicious meals. The restaurant allows complete menu sampling, and the staff demonstrates remarkable friendliness, eagerly responding to all inquiries. The menu is extensive, spanning Asian and Latin cuisine, and the food is served piping hot. The fried chicken is highly recommended. Prices are fair considering the quality of food, and the restaurant is a neighborhood staple worth visiting again. Visitors have praised the attentive service and the delicious dishes, with many noting that all their relatives approve of the cooking. The concept of Chinese-Cuban cuisine is refreshingly different, and the dishes are flavorful and quickly served. The wonton soup is a highlight, with firm wontons, excellent pieces of pork, and a nice clear broth, all served in a Cuban restaurant setting. The oxtail, served with rice containing ham and shrimp, is meaty, fresh, and full of flavor. This spot is popular with people from all cultures, and everyone understands Spanish, adding to its warm, inclusive atmosphere. Overall, La Caridad 72 remains a beloved spot that offers a unique blend of flavors and a friendly environment, making it well worth a visit.
