Wok 88
#1. i want to start with the price. i had to call back to make sure wat i ordered was correct because this price too high. and wen i realize it was for .... #2. this small ice tea i was mad. i never spent $8.50 on 2 SMALL ice teas and it wasnt the original we get. #3 why is there egg in my rice? #4 the chicken was not cooked inside out. i did not want to rip this chicken open for the picture. i feel like i'll be degrading the chicken but at the same time u can see on the outside the chicken we get does not look cook well done. THEN i remembered what street this on. Im downtown. still not my cup of tea but im happy ppl still enjoy it :)
I’ve been going here to work 88 for almost 5 years I went here today 1-11-25 I ordered beef chow fun and wonton soup from the lunch menu the food was good at best could’ve been a little bit hotter The prices has gone up a lot lately before what I got was under $10 but now it’s about $13-$14 but regardless the food is good and the service is great
First Wok
I didn't like this place the menu sounded like I was getting quality food and so did the price. But all in all it was a slight .... very slight step up from your typical corner chinese hole in the wall. I got a large sesame chicken. Menu said chicken pieces deep fried to perfection. 1st I paid 22.00 it was a small size plate 2nd it was all bread like all other cheap Chinese. Not one piece had a chunk of chicken. The only good thing it was very crispy and sauce was good. But never again
Food and service are always excellent
Bites of Xian 88 西府小吃
It was my first time here. I tried spicy chicken, crispy burger with pork, and buckwheat noodles today. The chicken was nice, a bit dry for the part of the chicken, it was the drumstick. The sauce was pretty good at the first few bites. It was nice and fragrant at first. However, then the MSG followed, and it became too overpowering and salty. The spiciness and the numbness was very nice though, I just hope that they can put less MSG in it if it’s possible. The crispy burger and pork was the highlight of the meal. It wasn’t joking about the crispiness of the bun. It was nice and flaky. The pork was a nice mixture of the lean and fatty pork. It was delicious, and was almost as good as the ones I tried in Xian, China few years ago. The buckwheat noodles were nice as well. The texture of the noodles were so unique that I wasn’t sure if I liked in the beginning. I did grew to like it. The broth seemed spicy but it wasn’t. It was actually a bit bland to my taste. Overall, it was a nice restaurant. I’d like to come back and try their other noodles and their dumplings. The restaurant was clean and the staff were friendly.
This restaurant opening up closer to my workplace is a godsend!! Same quality as the other locations and I love their dumplings! The Liang Pi and the stir fried lamb noodles are on point, not oily at all. Def will be coming here more often!
Tang Pavilion
A.U.T.H.E.N.T.I.C. I was staying at the Sheraton Times Square hotel and asked the concierge which nearby Chinese restaurant was the best. Without hesitation he said, "Tang." A few blocks later and I'm placing my takeout order of Chicken with Garlic Sauce and brown rice. In almost no time, maybe five minutes, I was handed my food. For dining in, they have a quaint bar and a narrow room with tables positioned left and right. Prices are reasonable, service is fast and friendly, and the food is delicious; mine was nice and spicy. Highly recommend.
Food: The appetizers are fabulous and delicious, it goes without saying that the soup dumpling is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and bbq styled ribs are too amazing I love particularly the Shanghai style meatball. It definitely comes at a way larger portion than I expected. Environment: The interior design is fancy, definitely has the vibe you’d see in old Hollywood movies (kinda sorta reminds of that restaurant from the Year of Dragon). There are some calligraphy pieces and other visual art pieces presented, vintage and aesthetic. Service: The waiters are incredible too. Patient and great to talk to if you are in need of suggestions when ordering. I love how I could blurrily hear them speaking in Shanghai dialect somehow lol.
Blue Willow 夜来湘
The decor is very nice. The food was great. The staff was incredibly friendly and respectful. The prices aren't bad at all. The only thing I didn't like was that at some point they were taking out their garbage in huge black bags. They don't have a back door so they have to take their garbage out through the front door, which means they have to pass through all the people that are eating. I'm guessing they can't keep it anywhere else until all the customers leave? Never saw that before. That was kind of weird, but overall a good place to eat.
Visited Blue Willow with friends on a Monday night with a reservation. The place was busy, but I loved the vintage decor as soon as I walked in. We were all really hungry, so we ordered a lot for four people. The portions were generous, but honestly, the food was just okay-not anything that stood out. The dishes arrived incredibly fast, within about 5 minutes, which made me wonder if they weren't made fresh. The Mapo Tofu was the highlight of the meal, though. Service was a bit confusing-multiple servers came by at different times— but they were all friendly. The drink menu looked interesting, but the taste didn't quite live up to expectations. Overall, it was a decent experience-nothing extraordinary, but still a fun spot to hang out with friends.
Dim Sum Palace
Dim Sum Palace is a traditional Chinese restaurant that offers excellent teas and soups. As expected, the dim sum is truly delicious, accompanied by incredible sauces that enhance the flavors. The menu provides a great variety of options, ensuring a satisfying experience for dim sum lovers. The service was good and efficient—nothing more, nothing less. The staff was attentive, and the food arrived quickly, which is always a plus. However, don’t expect anything beyond basic hospitality. The restaurant itself is small but comfortable. While the space might feel a bit tight during busy hours, it doesn’t take away from the overall experience. The ambiance is simple, with a focus on the food rather than elaborate decor. Overall, Dim Sum Palace is a solid choice for those looking to enjoy authentic dim sum and traditional Chinese flavors. The quality of the food, especially the teas, soups, and sauces, makes it worth a visit. If you’re in the mood for a quick yet flavorful meal, this spot is definitely recommended.
Go. Enjoyable Yue food. Good dumplings. Above average. I like their style of fried rice, not greasy. Service was quirky and rice did come out later. It is a pretty restaurant. Overall everything tasted fresh, (no issue there) and flavorful. Rolls were overdone. I don't think Cantonese use a lot of hot spice in their cooking which is fine. Chili Oil!! I return and will write more ✍️.
Mr Q's
Chelsea is an amazing host. She really makes a person feel welcomed. I had take out. The food was delicious. The restaurant was nice and clean. Next time I’ll need to enjoy a sit down.
My boyfriend and I love this place so much! The sushi is always fresh, beautiful and delicious! The drinks are great here too. The staff is super friendly and welcoming 😁 we are pretty much regulars now and every time we come in they make it a big deal haha we absolutely love it ❤ The prices are reasonable too!

This place has good food order for them frequently. However, I do notice the quality change in the food whenever the women who usually runs the front is not there. Very poor customer service
Thank you to do the change
King Hing
general tso Chicken is very delicious and crispy. Lo mein is also my taste. It is worth recommending
Don't eat here. I'm a vegetarian & I ordered the Mo Po Tofu & the tofu was not cooked. Any time I've gotten a tofu dish at a Chinese spot it was COOKED. They got me.
China Pavillion
Update: perhaps some chefs left, because this restaurant no longer gives generous amounts, prices increased slightly, and I have not received the complimentary items without asking (e.g., spend $15 and you get a free soda, etc). Food is still tasty, however. Original review: Great food and very friendly staff. Food is relatively cheap, and they give generous amounts.
The best Pepper Steak & Onions I had in years. Food was fresh & tasty. I highly recommend
China King
I’m always satisfied with this spot, the food here has been the one of the best when it comes to Asian cuisine around. The Foods always fresh unlike other spots and the staff is very friendly. I’d recommend it!
Food was delicious. Chicken wings and fried rice were great. Chicken and broccoli was great as well. Egg roll delicious too. Definitely ordering from here again.
Great Wall Chinese Restaurant
4 hrs after eating here I started feeling very sick. I ended up being admitted into the hospital for 2.5 days! Stomach pumped and iv antibiotics from severe food poisoning! I ordered the chicken on a stick ( not breaded ) with vegetables and fried rice. I have never been so sick in my life! I will NEVER eat here again!! Just making others aware. I have ate here before and no issues. Not sure what's happening here.
I’ve been eating from Great Wall since I was a kid, and they’ve never ceased to make the BEST food ever!! I have ARFID which limits my ability to eat and foods I can eat, however, Great Wall has ALWAYS been perfect for it, and always accommodated my food issues. (I especially like the beef and broccoli, absolutely 10/10 and I eat it every New Year’s Eve) it’s not only extremely delicious, but it’s not pricy like most places tend to be. Very worth the price, and honestly feels a bit like a steal!
