I come here a lot with colleagues for lunch. It’s probably the best authentic Chinese food in FiDi - the lunch sets are American Chinese food but the plates are more authentic. Their food tends to be very salty so remember to ask for lower salt when ordering.
Best Chinese Ive ever eaten. We will be back!!!
Good food, friendly service, pleasant atmosphere!!
The price is higher then other Chinese places around. I ordered The shrimp mai fun to go and I just confirmed if there mixed with a vegetable inside or not. My check was 22.80 total and I didn’t pay attention that’s is too much. but what I realized on my way home the lady on reception made a her own add-on for $2 for broccoli :/ that’s I didn’t like. She could inform me about it so I Suggest a “golden chopsticks” place instead.
Omg! I had not had shrimps over angel-hair pasta since long time ago. The wanting for trying it again was there, but never had found a good Chinese restaurant until TODAY! I had the best meal of my life! So tasty, with a hint of spicy, friend eggs and the right amount of soy sauce! Cant complain at all!
Best Chinese food in the financial district. More expensive, but worth it. There are no lunch specials here but the combination plates serve a similar purpose to lunch specials found elsewhere. They have good vegan and vegetarian options which are recommended. Also, a good spice to their food.The seating area is also quite nice, as are the waitstaff. Check it out!
Friendly servers! Excellent authentic Chinese food. Food came to the table with great presentation & hot out the kitchen. I ordered the cashew chicken with fried rice. The rice was perfectly cooked; not greasy like many take out places. Loved the atmosphere! Walking distance from Battery Park.
Very disappointed. Chicken w Garlic Sauce as bland as i’ve never imagined. A total waste. Scallion Pancakes were reasonably presented so thats the second star. The Financial District is now devoid of any decent Chinese expectations… China chalet where are you?
The food is actually very good. I often order the ribs or spring rolls to start, both are very tasty. There fried rice is plentiful and the meat is decent quality. They close very early though. 9.30pm is disappointing especially for Manhattan.
Probably not the number 1 Chinese restaurant in Manhattan but perhaps the best in the immediate Financial District vicinity. Service is prompt and the food is both consistent and tasty. Its popular lunch spot in the area but turnover is quick and you wont likely have to wait for a table, though I would call ahead for a large party.
Ordered mei fun and was quite good, but a little overpriced.
We met with friends at this restaurant for dinner. This restaurant was recommended to us by a friend. Well, it was a winning. The staff members welcomed us with a smile and we felt excellent. The meal was tasty. We had a great time and we will definitely return to this restaurant. we highly recommend this place.
I was very happy with both the portions of my food, as well as the quality of it. Probably my go-to Chinese takeout place for the foreseeable future.
Awesome little hole in the wall Chinese restaurant thats very underrated. They use unique flavors and preparation styles for an American Chinese restaurant. Try the 5 Spices fish or Garlic beef. A bit pricey for Chinese but totally worth it.
I ordered the House Specialty Chicken & Shrimp....it was good & it was hot. It was delivered within 30 minutes. All the condiments were packaged nicely & it even included a paper plate! I will order there again.
Food was ok. Hot and sour soup is good. Expensive. I ordered combo lunch. Small amount of fried rice. Big portion of meat and vegetables. Egg roll was soggy. Combo was $15 and soup was $4.
Had lunch here with my daughter. Food was hot and delicious, staff is very attentive. The food comes out quickly in spite of the fact that its a sit down restaurant with food made to order.
Very good, basic Chinese food. Their garlic broccoli is fantastic.
Ordered on just eat delivery speed was ok about 45 mins. the food was inedible i was very hungry at the time spent 18 pound for myself and couldnt even swallow one mouth full after tasting it 🤢🤮🤮. anyways I gave it to my neighbours as they are pretty hard up for cash and rarely have food in the house they managed to eat it but vomited it back up.I would not even feed this food to a dog it was that bad
Today I ordered for delivery & I was disappointed in the portion of food! Me being a grown man & seeing the amount of food that was given to me was so disrespectful! Smh!!!! The portion amount was for a child not an adult! Extremely disappointed! Other than that the food was delicious and I still have an appetite. Smh!!!!!!!!!!!!
What great, authentic Chinese Restaurant!! I went there for the first time yesterday for lunch and had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious, nice ambiance and good service. I will definitely go back, must try!!
They provided everything we might need in the delivery; paper plates, straws, plasticware, and napkins. What they failed to do was get half of the order correct. Im a picky eater when it comes to Chinese food so to provide some semi-seafood flavored gravy looking sauce on the side of steamed shrimp and vegetables instead of the garlic shrimp I ordered is a huge let down. Dinner came from the vending machine for me.
Gone downhill in past year. Order via Grubhub and past two times our order was missing half of our meal. And two family members had nasty bouts of diarrhea after eating.... no thx.
I’m glad I discovered this old-school Chinese restaurant as I was trying to avoid the good-weather crowd on Stone Street. I asked for what was good and ended up with the Szechuan boiled beef. Not for the faint of heart, but awesome and authentic.
I ordered a beef noodle soup. It came up with an instant noodle, even with that flavouring powder. Some meat, but dry and over cooked, looked like some leftover. With $18 for instant noodle + $2 tips, are you going to go there again? No wonder few customers. Go there only when you can’t find anywhere else.
Just...don’t go. The staff were nice which is why there’s an extra star, but the food...is very below mediocre (not to mention that our utensils were dirty and had visible particles on them). A local cheap Chinese takeout place is way better... this was more expensive (for Chinese food) and served a lower quality food, which was disappointing.
The food is delicious and portions are HUGE! Prices are not too cheap but you definitely get what you pay for. I have been going there to get takeaway 2 nights in a row and the service is super SPEEDY.
Traveled to New York to see Kenny G perform at the Blue Note and he put on a great show. Altogether, tickets, dinner and drinks cost $700. The food was decent, the staff was rude and absent most of the time. They did push CDs and said that all would be signed by Kenny after the show. We were near the end of the line and as we got closer to Kenny, the club manager barked at his paying customers that we would have to hurry (we stood patiently in line for 15 minutes) because he had people waiting outside in the rain for one and a half hours and needed to get them inside. He obviously mis-managed the line and his staff. What a tremendous let down after a great show. Poor Management.
I ordered the classic chicken and broccoli and chicken steamed dumplings. The dumplings were so soft and delicious. The chicken and broc was also very tasty. Definitely going back here
The food is ok and pretty pricey. Not a lot of good Chinese options in the area though, so if you work around there you’re kind of stuck. The wonton soup is good. Was not impressed with the sesame chicken.
The place atmosphere was great. They seated the 10 of us quickly and the food came quickly and it was delicious and hot. 5 stars all the way.
Good food. Great people. Have been dining with family here for years.
Complimentary yum yum!
Would certainly recommend eating here. Exceptional character, tasty dishes, great service. I recommend this place.
Their food is very good for the most part. Sometimes the fried rice tastes a little odd like it was burnt. Spare ribs are a must!
Excellent food. Not too much salt and very tasty. Very busy for lunch, however fast service.
Had a nice little lunch here and was pleasantly surprised at the authenticity of the food. The noodle soup had a great home cooked taste though it was a little pricey.
Service is top notch. Super attentive. Food is super speedy. Prices cheap. Alcohol selection limited though. Wine/beer. Not good wine.
Outstanding food. Fast and reliable delivery. They have never failed us in 40+ orders to our door
Great quality chinese food. The prices are decent, not too expensive fpr new york. If youre in the mood for some chinese food, come here!Only complaint is that its a bit dirty on the inside.
Ordered off uber eats. After saying arriving at 1900 it was past 2015 and nothing.
Good food. nice place for lunching. you need to reserve a spot if you planned for group lunch.
This place constantly delivers. They serve great food for reasonable pricing, there are no long waits even when the place is loaded.
Great Plum wine!!! Food was perfectly delicious!!! They even prepared something not on the menu..egg foo young!! Great!!
Food is always good but they got pricey recently. We were very frequent when I worked on wall street.
King pao chicken was excellent. Fried wontons too greasy. Fried rice excellent.
Good Food, Good Service!
Literally the worst chinese I’ve ever had in my life. So, old and disgusting. Not even worth $5. DEFINITELY not worth $20.
Just ordered this from grubhub and was really impressed
Its probably the best sit down Chinese restaurant in the area with decent food
The food is decent but nothing amazing. The portion size was smaller than other typical Chinese restaurants for a combo meal.
I love the spring rolls, traditional fried rice and lo mein. Food from here makes me nostalgic :)
Food was pretty Decent and nice staff. A bit small and gets crowded easy
Found 4 strand of short hair in my boyfriend’s food. Never order from her again. He is sick from eating here.
I ordered chicken with broccoli the place looks clean and the food was good.
Reasonably good Chinese food around this area. Crowded during lunch hours.
Adequate Chinese, decent prices. I dont think youd travel for this one but itll do if youre working in the area and you have a craving.
Food was so great, and didnt take long to prepare.
Food was good, messed up my order

Super delicious, rich and typical Asian food, be sure to visit it. Your extremely friendly staff
The most authentic Chinese food! The burdock is particularly refreshing! This is the most authentic Chinese food I have ever played in New York from Buffalo and Boston. It is not easy to keep the original taste of Chinese food, especially near Wall Street! Like five stars
Welcoming people super good food and well stocked I recommend it
Food, price and service very good. Recommended for New York

2022-04-28The BBQ ribs were cooked perfect and the shrimp dumplings was delicious. It actually had a whole shrimp in the dumplings. My friend ordered the chicken wings and they were not well done.

2018-12-11A average eatery located in the Manhattan financial district serving classic chinese dishes. Visited for lunch today and the experience was ok. I ordered from the lunch offer and my other half went for Thai fish dish. The food was ok and the staff were good, the location was great as it was a short walk once we got off from our cruise.

2018-06-26First time trying delivery today. Had eaten there once before a long time ago. Delivery was in under 30 minutes. I had the steamed Chicken and Mixed Vegetables with Garlic sauce on the side. You can order about a half dozen different sauces with this healthy meal. I had the sauce on the side. The food was cooked perfectly and arrived hot. Garlic sauce was average. Delivery man was pleasant.

2019-03-31The food flavor feels light and authentic, but is overpriced.The waitress will not notify you if two dishes contain the same type of vegetables. You need to ask.She also asks for tip even after dripping liquid from food on your clothes.
