Jeremy Jacobowitz: The BEST Chinese food in NYC! Soup dumplings, pork dumplings, scallion pancakes, general Tsao chicken! It goes on and on....
Jeremy Jacobowitz: Lucky enough the live above here! SO tempting to eat every meal from here! Soup dumplings are incredible but don't forget the scallion pancakes, pork dumplings, general Tsao chicken, and everything!
Mar Sal: Amazing Soup Dumplings! Be careful, there is an art to eating soup dumplings without getting them on yourself.... Crispy beef was so so good!

Buford Barnes: Invented General Tso's Chicken, but doesn't serve it anymore due to demand becoming an annoyance.
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
The New York Times: Grand Marnier shrimp and pillowy mu shu make for an elegant pre-Lincoln Center meal best taken with martinis and friends.

Felicia Z.: Best Chinese food in the city (in my opinion), but you gotta know what to order. Real Chinese is fresh ingredients and great spices. Fresh steamed fish and string beans with yibin are amazing.
Jason B.: Been there several times and the service hugely depends on who your head waiter is. The food is only okay at best. Overpriced, specially the vegetable dishes.
JD Hong: Get vermicelli noodles with minced pork. You won't regret it

Roscoe: Manchurian cauliflower is vegetarian General Tso's chicken. Delicious.
Douglas Elliman: A beautiful restaurant with a tranquil vibe. We love how much detail went into each dish. We got the Chicken Korma which was bursting with flavors as it soaked in a bath of delectable juices.
Time Out New York: Try the fragrant dum biryani, an Indian-style potpie filled with glistening hunks of ginger-marinated goat leg tossed with saffron-dyed basmati rice. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011 Read more.
