It’s easy to pass by this place and not give it a chance, but this is a true hidden gem. We ordered char siu and thit heo quay (crispy pork belly in Vietnamese) and it was delicious. This place is a quick grab and go and it sure beats standing in a long line at the spot next door. There are some chairs and tables to eat your food, but there is no wait service. Will come back!

Know before you go cuz it moves fast and there's no signs in english. Awesome for a quick bite. Ask for the ginger sauce on your duck if you're getting the rice plate.

Good selection of Chinese dishes. Tasty and good but not exceptional. Large indoor dining hall upstairs from the street. They do take credit cards. Service was very good and prompt.

First time eating Fuzhounese food, and I really enjoyed it. The prices are unbeatable, but the reason I will come back is the freshness and flavor of the food. The taro and oyster cakes are a must try, and the sweet and sour fish fillets were really good. Next time I'd go for the chrysanthemum fish. If the street level room is closed, walk downstairs on the right side of the building.

The interior design was beautiful and the staff was super friendly and helpful. Furthermore, the food was overall not too bad. Some dishes were extremely sweet and I didn’t really like them but others were good. The shrimps were my personal highlight of the food. They were delicious! The Peking duck was pretty good as well. It’s cool that it is a fusion restaurant with new varieties of the different dishes, but I kinda feel like they exaggerated a bit. And aside from that, the prices are not really fair. Overall I still think that the restaurant is pretty good and it was a nice experience to be here.

Really delicious food! We had the Peking duck, the Dan Dan noodles, the spicy wantons, and the string beans. There wasn’t a single dish we didn’t like. Some of the best peking duck I’ve had in the city! The service was also amazing. The staff were all extremely attentive and brought us things before we even asked for them! I’ll definitely be coming back!!

Authentic Fujianese food that truly attracts local Fujianese diners. The few that remain in Chinatown.

My go-to fujianese spot in Manhattan Chinatown. Probs the most extensive fujianese menu in the area w food served as good as home cooked. I loved that they actually bother putting vegs, much more balanced meal than almost all other takeout spots. Super affordable, basically everything is ~$10 or less I come here at least once a week, at times everyday.

Me and my chums were stopped by for lunch. I ordered the minced beef rice noodle roll, roast duck puffs, and soup dumplings. The rice noodle roll was satisfactory as the rolls were soft and elastic. The duck puffs were the best! Succulent pieces of roasted duck wrapper in the flakiest pastry! And the soup dumplings were mid, the skin was kinda rubbery so it pops very easily and the meat filling was a bit tough. Overall, this is a great spot for quick and standard dimsum! It should be noted that you order at the counter and seating is limited. You also get your own utensils and sauces from the sauce bar.

Went here for the duck and did not disappoint, but not the best I’ve had. Seating is confusing and not a lot of space. Egg tarts are amazing, so is the dim sum. Would recommend.

One of my favorite spots in NYC. The dry pot bowl offers the perfect comfort food. I usually add extra extra fish because they deep fry it before mixing with the stirfry. I can just eat the fish only everyday. In fact, their fish fillet with chili pepper is exactly that. Spice level 80 is perfect for me. 100 can sometimes interfere with my enjoyment of the meal. My husband and I went here almost every week during the pandemic to order our takeout bowl, sometimes we'd just eat in the car. And ever since they reopened for dine-in we've been there too. Price is reasonable. Usually a bowl for 2 is around $50. We go crazy often and end up spending $60-70 which means we'd be rolling out those days. Rice refills are free.

Exorbitantly priced. Stay away from the hot pot counter. If you are new to the place the lady will drop a lot of vegetables when you are not looking to add weight to the dishes. You are better off ordering from the predetermined menu. $34 they charged my friend. I stood by to see how they would treat him as a new customer. Last time I am going here having been a repeat customer for the last 4 years weekly with my wife. This is a sad breakup because of greed.

I chose this place because of the online pics, proximity to Chelsea piers and some reviews. Our steaks were cold. It felt they were super understaffed since it took a long time to get served. Our drinks took forever to come. The restaurant decor was nice.

The dishes here were a bit hit or miss. The appetizers were tasty; however, it's not hard to not execute spring rolls and wontons well. The cocktails were decent, and I would recommend the Ahumada. Now, onto the main course. I was eagerly looking forward to the ropa vieja noodles, as ropa vieja is a Cuban national dish, but I found it disappointing because the meat was too dry. On the other hand, my partner enjoyed the pork belly stir-fry, and others at the table liked the flank steak. The service was good, and we appreciated that they didn’t rush us out since we were the last ones there.

Your typical Chinese restaurant. They specialize in roast meets. The rice crepe was good. Fish balls are underrated! The green beans were excellent. A good garlic flavor to it. They did not skimp on the garlic! The crispy roast pork was delicious. It is usually served cold apparently because I had to ask them to heat it up.

It could have been the best duck that I ever had and 5 stars, but the duck was half warm half cold. The warm part was just perfect but then a part of it was cold, also quite a lot of bones… they said it's normal that it's not completely hot. The noodles are special and tasty, prices are reasonable.

so I went to this restaurant the other day and it was packed! I tried their tea, steamed shrimp dumplings, steamed sticky rice and chicken. Usually, I go for noodles or fried rice when I have Chinese, but this time, I decided to try their signature dishes, and they were amazing! The food was so fresh and tasty, and it felt so light. I'm definitely going back again. It was a great experience!

It was one of the first Dim Sum we had in New York City! Very reasonable and fulfilling and delicious! I highly recommend for the beginner of Dim Sum as it is easy to see what's in the food cart. You can easily point out if you do not speak Chinese.

Ollies has been a favorite go to for years. Offering a variety of delicious Japanesey food. I’ve been to midtown, UWS and today I’m at the UES location having a traditional Japanese style ramen dish. Pay cash for better price. Self serve hot tea and cold water.

Though it bears the name “Ollie’s”, one should not compare it to the original restaurant on the Upper West Side. Even then, this “To Go” incarnation is a rather basic Chinese takeout joint. The lunch portion of the Yang Chow fried rice cost $11.95, plus tax. The beef with snow peas (also $11.95) had too much carrots and mushrooms, which seemed like a cheaper substitution for just using snow peas. There is a 4% surcharge which they call “processing fee” if you pay by credit card so it is a bit misleading for them to say there is a discount if you pay by cash because technically the total amount is not lowered with a cash payment but merely increased with a credit purchase.

West Side Wok did a great job with our catering order on relatively short notice. They were friendly, flexible, and went out of their way to deliver to us on time and to our specifications. We ordered six large platters of sushi and our guests were delighted with the chef's sushi selections. Thank you West Side Wok!

Good quality Kosher hole-in-the-wall type take out. Really great Thai food, and sushi too. Note, there is no indoor seating. Order ahead of time and pickup only. (Or have it delivered.) For pickup, I walked in and ordered. My food was ready in less than 10 minutes, really rapid turnaround!

Amazing atmosphere, great for groups and always accommodating. Biggest bang for buck and quality I’ve found for barbecue places. The orders come out promptly. The meat is fresh and delicious, staff is kind and attentive. Not the biggest fan of the hotpot but if you are it’s still delicious and fresh. I go here almost every two weeks and have a great meal every time.

This is my first time at this location, and I’ve been to the Brooklyn location for years. The location in Brooklyn is far better. Can’t complain about the food. But the food at Brooklyn is also better. The servers were not attentive, despite there only being another table other than us. They were standing and talking, and one was even on his phone at one point. For birthday, they brought a Hershey’s ice cream cup with a candle on it and played happy birthday for 30 seconds. The Brooklyn location has a monkey mascot and has servers cheerfully singing happy birthday with an ice cream bowl and a sparkling candle. So if you want a good experience at 99 Flavor Taste, go to the Brooklyn location.
