R B: Very quick service, are you in a rush. That's a cool place. Decent price for the region and good stuff. Try the beef with black mushrooms and bamboo shots.
Anjeline Tan: Crab and pork soup dumplings, crispy sea bass and snow pea leaves
The Corcoran Group: Just like its downtown brother, you come to this Chinese hotspot for their amazing soup dumplings – get both the crab and the pork – they’re one of the best in NYC.

naveen: when i used to work at sony, we'd lunch here with the team: peking duck was a favorite (among other dishes). possibly some of the best chinese outside of chinatown
