This legendary, generations-owned spot has been around for over 20 years, serving Chinese American (bbq spare ribs, orange chicken…) the owners would swear is just Chinese food it’s so good. You’ve got the grandkids cooking in the back while the owners ensure you get exactly what you want and more. Hot, succulent, delicious, flavorful, spicy, crispy goodness only begins to describe this underrated gem that I’m sure only gets better every day. shout out to the woman runing the place, Xiu! I will be back soon to eventually try all of the menu because it sure beats anything in your neighborhood 🔥

This restaurant is honestly amazing! The food was cooked perfectly and the staff is so nice. I never usually write reviews but this is one of the few chinese food spots that I genuinely really like in the city. It’s a true gem!! definitely recommend :)

I ordered from Seamless for the first time since the pandemic. I’m not a fan of how food often arrives cold and spilled out of the bag. To my surprise, my order had the restaurant's address listed as my own. I decided to call the restaurant directly, a lady answered—presumably the owner. She explained that my address was the same as hers, which is why we hadn’t received the food. She was incredibly kind, cooked a fresh order, and delivered it herself. The food was hot, neatly contained, and absolutely delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant, also the prices are not price gouged. Thank you, from DOWNTOWN MAGAZINE NY, LA, Miami, Europe.

Decent food. Close to home. It is your basic Chinese restaurant. Don't be so surprised if you see a roach or bug in your food....it's nyc. No big deal. The fried chicken wings used to be really good....not as good anymore.

One of the best Chinese foods I ever had. It took me back to when I lived abroad with my Chinese family. Its great to see authentic food once again. I would share photos but all the food is in my stomach.

I noticed the little details that make this place unique. They balance quick service with good cooking. Everything we selected was served fresh with good flavor and proper preparation. Personnel interact with genuine warmth. The meals impress without the high cost; what more could you want?

The food here isn't bad at all, especially for the price we pay. It tastes better than many of the pricer Chinese restaurants in China Town.

Very yummy I got the garlic shrimp & added broccoli to it. My bf brought it back for me from this place there were only 4 pieces of shrimp 💔 wish there were more 😔 we do usually eat here with no issues sometimes they do be skimping

I like the American Chinese food here. Very good pork fried rice. The lady that takes the order is about as dead pan as the famed soup NAZI on Seinfeld. She has a thing about asking if you want sauces.

I have been ordering from this place for a long time. Food is good and usually comes quickly with a delivery. But I have noticed that every time the prices go up you get less food. Dishes that come with shrimp now come with tiny shrimp. This should not be happening. I won’t be ordering on a regular basis anymore and when the prices go up and food is less I will just deduct it from the tip.

I ordered late night take-out. The doordash service was quick and the food arrived on time. Unfortunately, I ended up tossing most of the food out. The wonton soup had little flavor and tasted more like chicken broth. The dumplings were skimpy on the filling and didn’t really taste like wonton dumplings. The worst part of the meal was that the beef chow mein I ordered had no noodles! It was mostly onions and a little bit of beef but beef vegetable stirfry is not what I had ordered. It was somewhat the same story for the beef fried rice...very little beef. To add insult to injury, the fortune cookie was crushed. I was skeptical about ordering from here as Yelp rates this business as 2-stars. I should have listened to Yelp and not Google’s overall rating.

The food is delicious. However there is a woman who took my phone order and was very rude. I ordered 2 lunch specials; one rib tips and the other lo main. ALL of the lunch specials come with a choice of rice (chicken, pork or brown) She asked if I wanted rice with the lo main, and I asked if the rice was included? She stated that some people don't like rice with theirs. I told her that I wanted rice with mine. She continued to instruct me on how I should order. She said " next time you have tell me if you want rice " I corrected her by saying ' no... it is your responsibility to ask me what kind of rice I want ' I reluctantly placed my order and requested that they leave out the peas and carrots as I am allergic to them. My husband received the order and when I checked it there was peas and carrots in the rice! I am so livid. Never eating from there again and I plan on making a public issue about the service.

I ordered beef broccoli and green plantain with garlic sauce. I found a roach in the food. Called them it took them forever to refund and they acted like it was nothing that I found in my food. No apologies no sympathy. I’ve been ordering for this over a year now every Friday.

Ordered on Grub Hub at 8:20PM today. Grubhub canceled my order due it being 9:45PM as delivery time kept getting pushed back. I didn’t get my food at all and got a call from the lady screaming at me saying I canceled. I proceeded to tell the lady they canceled it because they took too long to deliver and she started to tell me I’m lying.
