We’ve been eating and taking out from here since they were in the mid other location.
Lately it’s so hit or miss for takeout. A few months ago I said we wouldn’t take out from there anymore after a big miss. Saturday I was really wanting to get fried rice from there so I did an online pick up. I have to say first that everyone is always sooooo nice and kind there. When we went to eat the rice it was so greasy looking and tasted like burnt oil. The egg roll was like a heavy sack of oil. They both tasted like they were fried in burnt old oil. The rice and egg roll tasted exactly the same. Usually the veggie fried rice has little cut up pieces of broccoli but this had a few large pieces that tasted really off.
We couldn’t eat the food. I was going to bring it back yesterday as it’s still in our fridge but decided just to leave this review. The food was taking out on Saturday the 5th. Maybe bc it was the day after July 4th not on par?when you eat in usually the food is really excellent here. So it’s hard to not want to go there anymore but it’s to much of a 50/50 if it will be good. Again, everyone that works there are extremely kind at the take out section and the waitresses when you dine in.
It’s just that it’s so hot or miss for take out
The food here is genuinely good — no complaints there. But the complete lack of reliable operating hours is unacceptable. I’ve shown up at 8:30 only to be told they’re closed, despite their posted hours saying they’re open until 10. Another time, I called at 8:45 on a Sunday to confirm they were open. Not only did they say they were closed, but when I asked what their actual hours were, they hung up. What’s even more frustrating is that other times I’ve come at 8 and they’ve stayed open until 10:30 — there’s no consistency. That kind of service is inexcusable. In a city where great restaurants are on every block, good food isn’t enough if customers can’t count on you to simply be open when you say you will be.
I wouldn’t have sought to have left this feedback, but I saw some other customer had and I wanted to inform you that I too was presented with 20% already chosen on payment screen and was very offended by this.
Not up to NYC standards.
Awesome take out Chinese. Generous portion sizes. I loved the pork buns they were so fluffy and soft. Beef and broccoli sauce was delicious and I really loved the egg drop soup. Still hot when it arrived and packaged well. Only negative note was I ordered veggie dumplings but got pork, this wasn’t an issue for me but if someone had allergies or was vegetarian this would’ve been an issue. Overall, great and I’d recommend.
Food is bland and gross
The space is pretty basic.
The portion sizes were enormous, i wish we knew it before ordering, would've shared it.
The food was great, but I have a strong feeling I saw a few cat hairs in my sizzling beef, but I couldn't trace it, so there's a small(!) chance I imagined it.
Excellent food! Good service too!
I’d had the hardest time finding good quality sesame chicken that was not too chewy or fatty. This is excellent white meat chicken with the perfect batter and sauce ratio. Generous portion and comes with rice and broccoli. Delivered quickly and was hot on arrival. Definitely recommend.

Best ever ever

Food and atmosphere was good. But service was not up to the mark. Also, there was a social media discount posted at the reception but they didn't honor it.

Ordered chicken and broccoli on Uber eats and it is absolutely phenomenal. I’m from NY and this is probably the best chicken and broccoli I’ve ever had.
