Have been going to this place for 20 years. Can say hands down it is the best Chinese food in North America and that is not an exaggeration. The food is excellent, in addition to the service. They are the most polite, kind, and pleasant people. If you are vegetarian, they have a number of options. Make sure to order the General Tso Tofu and the Crispy noodles with vegetables. You will not be disappointed!

Been coming once a week for a month now and it’s been great. Food is consistently very good and the service is awesome. The woman who works day shift is such a sweetheart. I’ve also ordered delivery a couple times. Safe to say this is my new favorite Chinese food spot in the area.

An hole in the wall Szechuan restaurant at UES. The spicy is numbing, tofu a bit over cooked, chicken good size and ratio to chili. A very good place, everything came out fast, and is authentic from former Michelin chef. Has since upgraded the decor a lot, much more refined. Like the whole fish, still tender under the sauce. Could use more heat on Chongqing chicken, Lotus root a big different than what I expected, a bit bland. Pea shoot and eggplant were delicious. Sliced tea smoke duck infused with flavor, will try the half duck next time.

Dinner at Wa Jeal was absolutely the best Chinese food I’ve had that wasn’t home cooked. Fresh, hot, spicy and delicious. Tangerine crispy prawns, sichuan chili fish cutlets, spicy shredded beef & veggies, plus spicy but cold mung bean noodles. And the background music was reggae :) The service was also first class, friendly, helpful and patient. I will eat here every time I come back to NYC if I can.
