As a former student to a nearby school, all i can say was that this place was amazing. Their food was great and if you order by phone they usually have your food done bh the time you go to pick up the order.🥰
I love love love this place. They're super nice and super clean. They always greet me with a smile. They know when i come in my orders are complicated and they always work with me. Definitely reccomend.... but they have the best rice EVER lol
Best Chinese food in restaurant I been to in my entire life I love their chicken cutlet, hot spicy soup, and their chicken, shrimp terriake is incredible. They food is just good the man and the women are so nice.
Dont get any of their spring rolls they taste bland but the sesame chicken was fantastic. The prives are also amazing
Oh my Goodness. I haven't written a review of a place in YEARS! This place was so good i HAD TO, I HAD TO!! Best Chinese I've had in years. I am now a loyal permanent customer. very very nice receptionist as well. Cannot recommend this place enough.
A good choice for chinese food in this area of New York. We ordered the shrimp fried rice with boneless spare ribs and another order of chicken wings with french fries. Everything came out super hot. After walking 4 blocks to our place of stay the fries were still crunchy and everything was still hot. No bad things to say of this place only that wings could have more seasoning for my taste.
Damn it was good ! I did try a couple of Asian cuisine in the area of NYC but that one was one of kind ! Not too much salted , even sweet and sour chicken was pretty balance ! Just freshly fried , it was insane !Pork fried rice so yummy ! Thx to the kind clerk that allowed us to benefit the lunch time price even we were 30 mins over !!!!!🇨🇦

Food is good. But the girl that takes your order does not understand english that well. Make sure to tell her large or combination. I ask for large fried rice and lg chicken with broccoli. She gave me a combination.

Impressive — plentiful, fresh, decent ingredients, very well-packed for delivery — a good solid choice if you live nearby. The tofu and vegetable soup is surprisingly good — not just a clear broth with random vegetables. Although, I would bet that that's a chicken broth, i.e. not vegetarian. I actually preferred it this way and am glad for it. Anyway this is a 3.5-star review partly on this point. A vegetable soup should be edible by vegetarians, so assuming I'm right, they should label this soup accordingly on the menu. Or if they call me out and I'm wrong, and that was somehow really a vegetable broth, I'll amend this review up to 4 stars — but I doubt it. For a main dish I had the hunan spicy beef. Again, a solid and decent dish in a generous portion. I didn't like the hot spice, which was too strong and not nuanced. But that's on me — it was clearly said it was with a hot sauce. I just didn't think this dish held together quite as well. Ma had a shrimp with lobster sauce. She said it was terrific, although I see she left over 80% of the lobster sauce — and she loves lobster. So, I'm guessing that wasn't quite optimal either. Anyway you can likely be pleased if you get food from here.

The food was fresh but was tasteless. No seasoning at all. The shrimp egg roll was pretty good. Won’t be ordering there again.

Food was horrible. Oil was old, and the food tasted stale. The wings were old and refried wings they were not fresh and then to top it off right after eating my friend starts feeling sick. Very disappointed.
I've tried pretty much all Chinese takeout places around East Harlem. I ordered 3 items. Their Pint size portion is smaller than some of the others in the area. Moo Goo Gai Pan tasted kinda funky, I don't know if it was the sauce they used or one particular ingredient, it wasn't cooked in the white sauce I've always had. I assume they mostly cater to the Mount Sinai crowd. Ps. in response to the owner's response since google doesn't allow you to respond. First of all, speak English people can actually understand, but I gather that you want me to go somewhere else, trust and believe, I'll never patronize your establishment ever again and I'll make sure that everyone I know doesn't either. Food tasting funky is not a result of your "character" . Here's your one star you asked for.
They shut there card machine off early. After I told them that I only had enough cash on hand to pay for the meal. They said the will not deliver to me because we couldn’t tip the driver. Which we would have done if the machine was working. They don’t care about the customers and the use old products as welll that when you walk in clearly see on the counter. Cocroachs in the reasturant, only ordered from here because of the convienent location. I’ll take a walk next time. Not worth it for garbage.
General Tso’s chicken barely had any chicken in it. 90% breading and overcooked. Don’t recommend
I ordered steak and egg fried rice, the portion was so small for $8 dollars, it was mostly rice barely any meat or eggs in it. Very disappointed I will never trust the place again.
I Ordered some fried chicken wings and they served me fresh and old chicken wings mixed in order, some in the batch were 1-2 days old (probably not refrigerated) and they smelled horrible, I went back to complain and show them what they served and they just ignored me but luckily gave me my money back, make sure you look and smell your food I will never ever order from there ever again!! P.s they were very defensive and rude after I politely complained!!
I ordered simple chicken wings and French fries, the chicken was red on the bones... NEVER AGAIN!- - - TO THE OWNER- Or maybe your food service experience was SUBPAR. I'm not the only person who has had a bad experience with your store. I'm sure I won't be the last. You will continue to blame the customers and you will continue to get poor reviews.
I ordered food, they sent me the wrong food and then was adamant about that it was my mistake and not there’s. Then refused to redeliver the food unless I paid the $1 dollar up charge for their mistake ! And the food was very bland !
I must say I’m rather shocked in my experience with the people who work here. From the guy who delivers and the lady who answers the phone, just beyond rude. I’ve been a customer for many years and I innocently missed calculated the tip and the guy sends me a text message saying how disgusted he was and for me to find another place to order from. I call to speak with a supervisor to explain the situation and the young lady who answers the phone, stated he’s not in and hangs up. I call again and she said well to call him and I said great what his number and she implies that she’s just a worker and doesn’t have that and hangs up again. I will share my experience with all my colleagues at the hospital and make sure they miss out on business for sure. I will not recommend this place at all. I will never give such tip to anyone! And that guy has delivered to me before and should’ve know it was an error. A simple phone to clarify the situation would’ve resolved a whole lot. I would’ve went back downstairs and added two dollars for the inconvenience.
