Buford Barnes: Invented General Tso's Chicken, but doesn't serve it anymore due to demand becoming an annoyance.
N. S.: After removing it from the menu for a few years, they are once again serving General Tso’s Chicken, which they allegedly invented. It is delicious and definitely worth a visit!
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

Norton Wang: Their General Tso's is on a whole new level than your generic American Chinese place. The Malaysian clay pot is also quite delicious.
Jorge Chevalier: Outstanding atention, excelent duck and rolls: Neptuno, Spider and Eel.....
Alisha Outridge: Try the Sambai Delight. If you like spice ask for extra on the side because their spice isn't enough.

Lori Luo: Slightly pricey Chinese food in the Rockefeller area. The Sichuan dishes are the best on the menu, so be sure to try the Braised Beef with Napa, the Dan Dan noodles, and the Ma Po Tofu.
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
