Had a great time at Uncle Lou's as we didn't know what to expect when we stumbled upon this little gem. The service was good and the ambiance was busy but inviting. The real stars are the tasty dishes we ordered. Where do I begin? Vegetable Spring Rolls: crispy on the outside as one bite is packed full of chopped carrots, onion and well, vegetables! Although only two rolls make up one serving, these will fill you up quickly! Chicken Dumplings: were soft and tender on the outside and very tasty once bitten. Both of these starters rocked! Next Up... Chicken and broccoli: was also tender and delicious. The broccoli had the right amount of crisp and the chicken, well flavored. Veggie Fried Rice: went down well. Chunks of fried egg, green peas, corn mixed in with "just right" textured rice. No soy sauce needed! Shrimp Lo Mein: did not disappoint as the noodles were soft and tasty. The shrimp was well seasoned as it made way for "a party in my mouth ". Crispy Garlic Chicken: was heaven on a plate! The crackle of the skin against the savory meat allowed for a joyous feeling. The chopped scallions and garlic took this dish over the top. In short, we'll be back!

Had an amazing time at Uncle Lou with a party of eight! From the moment we walked in, the warm atmosphere set the tone for a fantastic evening. We were seated at a round table with a huge lazy Susan, which made sharing the delicious dishes even more fun. Every dish we ordered was spot on—flavorful, well-prepared, and perfect for family-style dining. The portions were generous, and we loved how effortlessly the food kept coming as we spun the lazy Susan around. The staff was attentive and welcoming, making sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our meal. The lively ambiance, delicious food, and great company made it such a memorable night. If you're looking for an authentic and fun dining experience in Chinatown, Uncle Lou is a must-visit! Will definitely be coming back.

Perhaps one of the most endearing dishes in Chinese cuisine is wonton soup. It’s well known and loved by many, and there have been many variations depending on where in Asia one goes. Located on Mulberry Street in NYC's Chinatown, HK Wonton Garden is one of those places to eat authentic Cantonese food where I came for lunch today. With a very plain exterior front, I was greeted by the staff upon entering at an old-school vibe with different monetary currencies taped to the walls. As a repeat patron, I easily got a table by the kitchen. Some of the staff still wore the Hawaiian shirts and served up some tasty offerings. The menu is extensive for wonton and noodles, both with soup or dry, among other dishes. I decided on the wonton with noodle soup and sui mai. These were average pieces of pork and shrimp encased in this lovely wrap. For many years, this has been my favorite comfort food: a well-made bowl of hearty, authentic Hong Kong-style wonton noodles with the right taste and textural profile and using the correct condiments to create the desirable final end results. In Cantonese, ‘wonton’ roughly translates to ‘clouds’ as the wontons look like clouds floating in the soup and use thin wrap. Most dumplings are usually served with a thicker wrap. The meal began with a hot cup of tea. The food came out quick and hot. The flavor was unique and consistent, and the prices were fair as compared to other places. The portions were just right, and the staff efficient. I continue to recommend this place.

The food is ok, the best was the sesame shrimp, the service was good but the owner was so rude, wanted to use restroom and he blocked my way stating only for customers.

The Scallions PPancakes, Pork Buns, Beef Buns & Sesame Balls are delicious! Sometimes they will throw a Sesame Ball for free. The prices are affordable. This place is just for take out only. Also the staff are always friendly & helpful! I totally recommend it!

such nice people and great bao. the lady there is very smiley and always throws me a free bun if I buy a few things. if you're reading this lady I love you!

I went there for some food with my friend. They served the food at 4:50 pm. When we were eating the food, one staff was clearing the floor, i said maybe you can do it later as we were eating our food. It was so dirty. The lady replied rudely and complained if we were not eaten now, she could finish all the job and went home as they closed at 5 pm. i think they should show their business hours on the door or the wall. When we placed an order, they should let us know they close soon. Actually, we had not finished our food. It waste my money. It was really bad experience.

Nothing special. Soup broth has no flavor. Health dept rates it “B”. It has the feeling of a take out place / mini food court with plastic disposable bowls and plastic forks and knives. Would not go back. Definitely better at the restaurants in Chinatown.

Had some craving for dim sum and DimSum Palace just perfectly fit the bill. Parties 5 and up need reservations to guarantee a table. Less can walk in, but I've seen the place with a line outside. So roll of the dice. We were lucky when we decided to go. Got seated right away. The menu for dim sim was huge. You order from a menu sheet that has pictures of what you're ordering. Noice touch. The regular menu was just as big and boy, did we order quite a few items and, as a dim sum officionado, I can say everything was soooo good. Prices were typical for Ney York. Quick, no nonsense service. Will definitely return whenever I go back to NYC. Photos to follow.

Very nice restaurant located just a short walk from Times Square. Would recommend highly. Food is excellent fresh and hot during evening dinner. Must try the beef steak in black bean sauce, this was mine favourite. Very tasty beef and large portion. Staff are friendly and service is good.

awesome food experience , Pepper Chicken and Bejing Beef is soooo tasty. i was one week in NY , eat 2 times at Panda Express , i miss this good food right now. One week again march 2025 in NYC , three times again on Panda Express, love it.

Tristan was lovely with myself and family! Credit to the store. And food was delicious no fault whatsoever!

I ordered the scallion pancakes, spicy peanut sauce wonton, cucumber salad and melon green tea, it’s a great place for lunch and dinner. The spicy peanut sauce wonton is one of my favorites, just the right amount of spicy kick and a savory aftertaste with the peanut sauce. They have lots of varieties of dishes I will definitely look forward to try with my family, the melon green tea is so refreshing on a hot day

Good first time trying their wonton noodle soup. Perfect fast easy fresh Chinese food that is also healthy. 🙏💝🙏💝. Will definitely try again soon, to explore other menu options.

I didn’t hear about this place on social media or anything. I kinda found it looking for a seafood spot on Google. But honestly having my friends ask about it in Texas made me realize what a gem I got to try. The food was really good! And my friend that I ate with said she only had sweet lotus like that back in china. So happy I had a chance to try it!

Weekday lunch special is a great deal. The crab tofu seasoning is just about right and good for two persons. Being said, one customer can still find dishes manageable in price and portion. 擔擔麵 is outperformed as well. The spicy minced meat really presents well. Around 30 ish capacity. Saturday 12:30 is nearly full but no wait.

The food was very flavorful. We ordered tangerine beef, shredded pork with garlic sauce, and Szechuan chicken with chili sauce. Every dish has a distinctive flavor. I love the numbing sensation in the chicken. The tangerine beef is too sweet for my taste. Overall, everything was above average. The servers were very nice and friendly.

The twice cooked pork, sautéed string beans, and yangzhou fried rice here are all pretty good. The owner is very sweet and the service is super quick. Glad to have such a homey chinese spot on the upper east side.

Okay this place is so underrated and so GOOD. The lo mein is some of the best I’ve had, the broccoli in garlic sauce is delectable and I have high standards. Not to mention the people who work there couldn’t have been nicer. It was raining outside and one of the waiters offered us his umbrella 😭 you don’t hear about that sort of kindness in New York anymore. Will be back, highly recommend. Also the tap water was mad tasty

This place is AMAZING! We tried so many Chinese spots and NONE of them came close to the quality and taste of New Moon. The ribs in black bean sauce is my favorite! Hot and sour soup is the BEST! Egg rolls are legit, if I was to nit pick, maybe more pork in them. We’ve never had a bad meal here.

The owner was so nice and this was really good. The place was cozy and food was made really quickly! My friend also really liked her food and she’s usually pretty picky about what she eats. I’d give it 10 stars if I could :)

We tried Korean tofu stew, orange beef and general Tso’s chicken tonight. The soup was pretty nice. The broth was boiling hot and spicy. The tofu was silky. There were also some kimchi, and snow peas in side. The orange beef was okay. The batter was a bit too thick and oily. The flavor was fine. I couldn’t taste much of the orange peel. The whole dish was too greasy for my liking. The general Tso’s chicken was nice. We got it with white meat only. The flavor was nice, about average. Just like the orange beef, it was also greasy. Overall, it was an okay restaurant. The server was nice and friendly.

Cash Only - Found this great spot for lunch while walking around Chinatown. Fast service and good food. Recommend the pork soup dumplings and orange beef. The place is cash only, and they have an ATM at the front if you need to get cash out. Overall, a solid find! Pictured: soup dumplings, fried rice, garlic eggplant, sesame chicken.

Had a great experience at Joe's Shanghai in New York. Pro tip: don't forget to grab a ticket number before joining the line - it gets packed fast. I waited about 30 minutes to get a seat, but it was absolutely worth it. Even though it was very crowded, the staff still provided excellent, efficient service. I ordered the steak and broccoli instead of the usual soup dumplings, and it really hit the spot. The steak was tender and flavorful, and the broccoli was fresh and perfectly cooked. The atmosphere was lively. Great price also. Definitely recommend and would come back again!
