    Great value for traditional Chinese, fresh food and large portions. Amazing delivery: Last experience was phone call to my apartment door in 11 minutes, on a Saturday night.

    This is a Chinese takeout spot!! I ordered two dinner meals and they included a free soda. I called a few minutes earlier for pickup and when I arrived they had it ready for me. The lady who was in the front was very kind and sweet. Great price, $9.50 each plate better than most Chinese takeout spots. Food was warm and cooked correctly. Would recommend for cheap eats in UWS. Thank you

    Legit classic NYC chinese take out -- honestly it's so good and at their prices I really can't complain. Generous servings and flavors are spot on, very consistent.

    If you're looking for a hole in the wall Chinese restaurant, this is the place. The perfect amount of grunge that NYC is known for makes this a hit. Awesome greasy noodles and chicken wings seriously kick a hangovers butt! The dumplings rocked. The egg rolls were delicious. Everything was so freaking good. Top that off with killer prices. IYKYK. This is top tier Chinese food!

    This place serves yummy Chinese food. The service is excellent. The staff is quick, but almost robotic. The price increased a bit, please don't change the prices, but the quality and portions are great. I will definitely try them again. If you have not yet tried them, give them a try!

    It's essentially your classic neighborhood Chinese take out joint they also has a decent number of seats inside. It's not a fine dining atmosphere, but they still bring the food to your table, which I hadn't expected (not typical for a carryout joint). So now I go there whenever I'm in the neighborhood.

    Your classic NYC neighborhood Chinese takeout / delivery spot. No frills, good food, fast service, sizeable portions, and reasonable prices. Value for money, hard to beat this place.

    Food is great! My mom suspects that the meat in the chicken fried rice is snake because of some news story she saw the other day about another place. I always get 4 chicken wings and green plantains and it's well done. Also, hard to sneak feed me snake meat with that.
