The woman that answers the phone is so rude. Would not order again.

The ambiance was nice. Service was quick. I was happy with the shu mai. Pad thai was good. Sweet and sour fish was okay. But I was confused when I ordered chow fan and got a plate of stir fried noodles. I asked the waiter, is chow fan rice? And he said yes. I pointed on the bowl of noodles and asked if this is chow fan? The lady cashier answered yes chow fan is fried rice. That is stir fried RICE noodles then proceeded to speak in chinese to yer colleagues. I felt betrayed. Im not chinese, but Im asian, and I studied in a chinese school. But i dont want to argue with an old chinese lady about chinese food. Maybe its my fault because I didnt ask what chow fan is? I am cultured enough that when I ask for chow fan, i expect fried effin RICE!

I can’t get any decent Chinese food in my home town. I literally walked by 100 restaurants

I was passing through the neighborhood and decided to go into this restaurant alone. The Shrimp Fried Rice was OK. I ordered Green Tea which was served in a used glass with lipstick marks on it. When paying, they were aggressively approached for TIP. I always pay TIPs but it is not mandatory. You can't force people to pay tip.

Nice place. Conveniently located on 79th st. Good food. I like signature series. Price is fair. Good service. Usually not many people. Highly recommend

I went in and asked if they could make me sesame beef (which they didn't have on the menu) and without any further conversation the server walked away and then returned a few minutes later with fantastic sesame beef. Really quiet and clean place with lots of seating and nice restrooms. The food was fresh and crispy and the rice was really good too. Nice little oasis if you're hot/cold/tired/hungry and the prices are very reasonable.

Been a long time customer since they reopened with the new name, mostly for delivery. Food is pretty good a one of the fish filet dish is actually very good and we ordered it all the time. Unfortunately, today’s ordering experience was absolutely terrible that I actually upset enough to write this review. Ordered the regular dishes and a couple more, asked about a new dish and she hurried me off the phone to finish the order. Seemed that she tried to called me back 15 minutes later but we didn’t hear the phone. When the order came, she gave us the wrong dish filter dish. I called restaurant she was nasty saying I didn’t answer the phone so she looked up my past order and gave me the filet dish I usually get, which was not true. I said i want replacement and get the right filet dish, she started arguing but eventually said sure. 30 minutes later I called back asking where the food was and she start yelling that I hung up and didn’t want a replacement. What a liar, we don’t want a replacement when the dish she sent was not what we ordered and she certainly didn’t offered to refund us for the wrong dish but asked instead what % tip for the driver. I was so mad that I screamed back that I am waiting for the replacement dish and I want to talk to the manager. She told me I can not talk to the manager and the manager is not there. On the said, I can hear her talking to someone else in mandarin. I ended the call requesting the manager to give me a call back. So unfortunately to find a decent restaurant that I ordered directly so they don’t have to pay extra for delivery platform and ended up hating the experience so much that I now have to search for another place for dishes I liked. I will post to my community group about my experience since I had recommended the restaurant before! Just venting here but I am so disappointment.

This Chinese food never disappoints. Good and hearty cuts of meat and very flavorful dishes. You don't feel like crap after eating from here either. Great place ??

I have to eat a meat free meal so I ordered the tofu with mixed vegetables. I requested that the tofu be steamed and come with a brown sauce on the side, for dipping purposes. The vegetables have little taste, but the tasty sauce made up for that. It comes with a choice of white or brown rice.

And the ambience is so sweet. A true quiet spot in New York City! Plus, a wonderful staff. What's not to like?
