The atmosphere is meteocore due to the neighborhood not its actual restaurant. The cooks are exceptional and try really hard to relate to their customers. One chef noticed I was I was trying to learn cantonese and was relaying my orders back in cantonese to help me better learn the language. Unfortunately I noticed odd behavior from latinos running the atm services in their restaurant that I think plays a part in the rise in their prices so much so that the videos I took of their odd behavior went missing from my phone and gmail. I hope they survive this takeover that latinos are doing to harlem to push their way into our neighborhoods and push blacks and their favorite retails out. As far as i can tell it started when that owner of the supermarket on 143rd and on 145th on 7th stole the shoprite 24 hr plot from the neighborhood at both Broadhurst and 125th and Lexington to build super foodtowns that trade old produce to avoid taxation while using bribes with inspectors abd over taxing customers at their will inbour neighborhoods which are now both drug infested and ran by majority of latino gang land cops of nycha using restrictions under "honeypots." I'm noticing it now with housing as my building was sold for $0 dollars in 1992 then went up to 4.5 million but since latinos moved in it, it has dropped to 1.3 million. The same with the barbershop on 142nd next to shorty's Bodega that use to be valued at close to 4-5 million across from Delano houses but are now being estimated at an equity of 342 thousand and the african cellular store at a 10th if that for 32 thousand while dekano is ranging at 5 million and our projects are estimated at average of 577 grand a piece. Harlem is having very little business and employing latinos. This is not the only place as I lived in and seen these things take place that get turned over to gays that then turn it over to banks that lease it to white foreigners using recycled privatized funds; Kensington or rather fishtown philadelphia home of Cosby that has gone through the same decline after he renewed all the housing in hand with temple universitu had the same problem and then the latinos ran it down with drug retails from both sides that most the mini mansions and black horse ranches are abandoned and so are most of the black retails and housings while ppl slowly leave, even Cosbys hometown projects being Richard Allen that's came so far from card board doors and cement windows to two story Town houses are vacating their homes. It's so heartbreaking to see this happen to a place like harlem the last of the moheekans of black excellence that housed ppl like fidel castro, Mia x , Langston Hughes, goya, Abe Lincoln Louis Armstrong, malcolm X, the first black Muslims of America, the first Mormons of America and helped to create the vast majority under the Louisiana purchase that we call America. I'm trying to say city one had been very hospitable with their culture and a friend to me and I hope harlem continues to be a friend to...
Read moreHonestly, I didn’t have high expectations at first. I ordered Kung Pao chicken something I’d never tried before and when I saw peanuts and carrots in the dish, I thought, This is going to be a mess. Plus, I was already in a bad mood thanks to the MTA. Every station had delays, and the whole day felt extra draining.
I figured I’d try the food anyway, expecting the worst (kind of like the day before). But once I actually started eating and gave the dish a fair chance, I was really surprised. The flavors were well-balanced, and the ingredients came together much better than I expected.
For a first time trying Kung Pao chicken, it was honestly impressive. I’d rate the food at least an 8.5 out of 10.
The service was also a highlight. The woman at the counter was super helpful and friendly. I asked if she could refill my water bottle with tap water, and she helped without hesitation.
Wait time was short too—about 5 minutes. For just $10 in Manhattan, it was a great experience. I’ll definitely be back to try something...
Read moreThe food is amazing. When I took the first bite of the sesame chicken, my mouth watered. The sweet (not too much) tangy chicken made me yearning for more, yet it was not done, the combination with the white rice complimented it nicely. Not only was the food good, but it came fast. After I finished reciting my order, it took two minutes for the meal to come. This is so inscrutable to me it is almost like they read my mind. During those two minutes, I had a wonderful conversation with the cashier. She very understanding, and when she laughed; her smile was infectious. This was not the first time I have come here. The delivery was speedy. When I was waiting/watching for the delivery driver, I thought the 60mph car was my driver. On the delivery app, the city one biker seemed to go 20...
