900 Du Chuan Gong Restaurant — Restaurant in New York

OK flavor, badly managed, MEAN owner, loud environment. Not recommended, and definitely not going again.

I am from China and some of my local friends from NYC want to try some authentic Chinese food, so we went there. I would say I am a nice person and rarely give any bad review, but the experience of this time really makes me wanna say something.

The flavor is authentic, but just about average level. I am originally from north China and I have tried a lot of deep pot stews like theirs. It might be relatively good in US, but please don't expect too much.

The places is badly managed, especially the reservation system. I strongly doubted that if the owner really has such a long-time experience like they advertised, with such bad management. At beginning, we were told there was no table, even we called and tried to reserve 2 hours earlier. However, he promised he could leave a table for us if we could get there at 5:30, instead of our original plan at 6 pm. I got there at 5:32 and actually called him before that, he has already given our reserved table to someone else, and asked us to wait at reception, until all of us arrived to be seated. It was so embarrassing that we were instantly told that we could have our seats, instantly after my non-Asian friend came in, and carefully asked that if he could take that spicy, with some kinds of weird enthusiasm.

The owner is really MEAN. After we were seated, we were told that we could only stay there to 7 pm, because another reservation has been taken with our seat. We would not even take those seats if we could be told before our waiting. Anyways, we ordered and got the food at around 6:10, and finished about half of it at 7 pm while talking. Then the owner came and ask us to leave since there were a group people came in. I asked if we could finish the rest of the food and we were not gonna order anything more. He gave me a weird smile, went back and ASK THEM TO WAIT RIGHT NEXT TO OUR TABLE. So we just left and give some tips in cash to the waiter, and told them that was an really awful experience. After I got home, I realized that he actually charged me for those 2 side dishes which are guaranteed free, as we re-posted their promotional blog.

The environment is SUPER LOUD, and it's really hard to hear your friends' talking unless you are yelling too. People are drinking, laughing and yelling like a typical street restaurant in China, which I would say I have used to that, but it's definitely not enjoyable.

Anyways, I would not go there anymore. Wish you guys good luck that you could finish...

Very traditional Taiwanese restaurant, friendly service, not over grease, salt or suger. We like it so much and will definitely come again. It has parking...

VERY❗VERY❗LOUSY❗SLOW❗ and BAD service❗ If I can choose MINUS star, definitely I'm will ADD ON. I'll never, never and ever...
