- A local shop serving simple food for as long as I can remember. We came here specifically for the roast duck. $18 for 1/2 duck. The place is not much to look at and I would have 2nd thoughts about bringing a date here. But the food & noodle soups are good. Also great value for the price & portion. Just bring your appetite.
- When you entered, the server was immediately attentive. It gave me an Auntie house can of vibe. Where anyone can find a seat and sit down. Strangers eating together on the same table, which is something new for me. The server was amazing and friendly; she immediately provided us with hot tea. My friends even tried their Chinese beer. The food was so fresh. Will definitely return.
With its authentic flavors, welcoming atmosphere, and exceptional service, Sun Sai Gai is a must-visit dining destination in New York City.

Visiting New York City on one of the coldest days of the year, I stepped into get a reprieve from the cold and enjoy some hot tea and food. I thought the food was very good and worth coming back for in the future. I will give it another try and hope the food is just as good the second time
Fresh and quality roasted Duck, shrimp and pork dumplings were insanely good. The sauces on the side were the cherry on top. Place is homey, but customer service needs work. Will be back.
Best Chinese restaurant I've been too in a long while. We stumbled upon it haphazardly looking for another place to eat that was closed when we showed up. Their roast duck is to die for. Spring rolls vegetable are crispy and not oily at all. You should try their pecking duck rolls are my favorite appetizer there. But what I like the most is the atmosphere. You don't feel rushed, they'll be patient with you and recommend dishes to you, and above all else, they keep that green tea flowing to accompany your meal. We sat there enjoying our meal and never did they make us feel like we were lingering. And the best part? They don't "demand" a certain amount tip likeany other places show in the reviews with servers being pushy about tips. The service and the food are top notch. Definitely one of our stops from now on when visiting NYC.
