About Cafe Evergreen

Cafe Evergreen is a Chinese restaurant situated at 1367 First Ave in New York, NY. Based on recent online reviews, customers have raised concerns regarding the food and service.

One customer reported a negative experience with several appetizers. They noted that the calamari did not include a dipping sauce, the pan-fried vegetable dumplings were excessively greasy, and the egg roll was also oily. This reviewer also found it peculiar that a large group who arrived after them were served the same appetizers very quickly, leading them to suspect that the food might have been pre-cooked and reheated, contributing to the greasiness. They left after their meal and expressed hesitation about returning, mentioning they might give it another chance if there were no large groups.

Another reviewer commented on the lunch specials, stating that they are more expensive compared to other Chinese restaurants in the neighborhood. They mentioned a higher price point ($35.95 for two orders, including tax) without the inclusion of soup, soda, or an egg roll, which are typically offered by other establishments. While this reviewer found the food to be "ok," they did appreciate the restaurant accommodating their request for a vegetable dish in a lunch portion, as the standard lunch special options were limited.

Cafe Evergreen can be contacted at (212) 744-3266 or +1 212-744-3266. Potential customers may want to consider the recent feedback regarding food quality, service speed during busy times, and the pricing of lunch specials.

We ordered calamari which has no dipping sauce included,pan fried veg dumplings which is so greasy,egg roll also greasy after 10mins of our appetizer came,a group of people around 40 just arrived all together and as soon as the people seated,the waiter served all their appetizers and it was all same as what we have ordered We were wondering why when we gave our order the food came in less than 5minutes,but the moment when we saw same appetizers that was been served on the big group then we knew why it was quick Too probably the food was been sitting for few minutes then we ordered same item they might have reheated those food that ended up serving oily and greasy So we just finished our food and asked for the bill and left. Will might gave them a chance to visit it again but will make sure that there will be no huge group

The lunch specials here are more expensive than in other Chinese restaurants in the neighborhood. The prices are higher ($35.95 for 2 orders, tax included) but do not come with soup, soda or egg roll offered by others. The food is ok. They did accommodate my request to have a vegetable dish made into a lunch portion because the list for lunch specials is limited.

Amazing Cantonese food and nice server staff here and the best prawns ever (in any prawn dish) and the best fried banana rolls a la mode I have ever had!

Great classic and casual Cantonese food and dim sum! Came here for an early lunch. The dumplings were all great. Ordered plenty of food and no complaints at all.
