For U — Restaurant in New York

After 13 years, I think, we're finally back in NYC. And we booked an apartment near Union Square. When I got the address of the apartment, I started to look for good restaurants in the area… on Google maps, of course. Turns out there was quite a few places with good reviews, especially a Chinese restaurant, So do fun. I don’t know why, but, to me, food in the US often means Chinese food… So when we arrived pretty late the first night we dropped the luggage and rushed to try it out. We absolutely loved the dumplings and the fried pork we ordered first but the pasta we had afterwards was quite neutral, unfortunately. The restaurant itself was ok but the service was slow. We waited about 20 minutes between the first dishes and the pasta so My son fell asleep and I had to eat with him in my arms. I’m always happy to hold my son in my arms but… The waiter’s language skill were not optimal either… Nevertheless, overall, it was not a bad experience at all. The fact that it was my first night back in NYC probably helped a lot 😉

Had a great and lovely first time experience here. Glad I finally managed to go and hope to return again soon.

I always liked what I saw from the outside, but was really impressed with the presentation of the food and the kindness and gentleness of the waiters

Just a warning for those people sensitive to spice. The hot and sour soup was the spiciest I’ve ever had.

Last but not least it’s also a great place for anybody who’s thinking about opening a restaurant to visit and be inspired by. For instance, it’s so nice how they present each table a relatively elegant water carafe with lemon. …. The only thing that might’ve made the experience even more enjoyable would have been if they offered a complementary hot pot of tea. (Less and less Asian restaurants do this, but I always really like that when they do. Plus I think it helps ensure people come back to a good...

This is the Chinese food our area has been missing since the pandemic!! Their menu is set up where dishes are named differently making usual dishes hard to find but they do have very good American style Chinese as well as delicious and spicy Szechuan dishes. “Beef and broccoli” is under “broccoli style” and you have your choice of chicken, beef or shrimp. Chicken and string beans they have listed under “chicken”. The closest to “orange beef” they call “crispy shredded beef”. Their “boiled beef” is actually a very delicious spicy dish with cabbage, mushrooms, garlic and chili oil sauce- far from what an American thinks of when they hear “boiled”. Their cumin beef and dry pot fish fillet are also very delicious (and spicy). When ordering one of the spicy dishes, you may want to add an extra rice because their rice portion tends to be small for such a hot...
