the dumplings were great, the place is nice but the meats just felt like they had been frozen for a long time and the taste was really lacking as a whole. also, when i looked the restaurant up on here and saw the online menu, everything was way cheaper and that was not case when i got there.

Love this place! I was looking for good Chinese food on the Upper West Side and stumbled upon this restaurant on Seamless. I ordered sesame chicken, steamed dumplings, and pancakes. All were extremely delicious and were delivered promptly. I think the highlight of the three was definitely the dumplings which I would love to order again. Additionally, prompts to the restaurant for putting the two dipping sauces in their own individual bags so that when they exploded…it didn’t go all over the food.

Went today and ate at The Cottage for the first time in a long time. The service here is great and so prompt. We literally waited about five or ten minutes before all of our food was delivered to our table. They have great options for lunch specials and the prices are very reasonable. It's not the best Chinese food I've ever eaten but it's still pretty good.
