MR. SUN — Restaurant in New York

Probably one of the worst “fancy” Chinese food I’ve ever had in NYC, and I’ve been here for 7 years. The duck is very fat and oily, part of the duck was under cooked when delivered. The beef rolls’ portion was small, it was spicy in a weird way and all I can taste is the white vinegar. There’s only the enoki mushroom and the beef roll in the soup, and I expected other things like the kongjak noodle and cabbage, but I think that’s not a big issue. Don’t have much to say about the duck dumplings and the cucumber since they can’t get any worse. The best thing is probably the black truffle fried rice, and it was very bland and oily as well. Didn’t taste much black truffle in it, you guys should probably change the name to truffle oil fried rice. Let me be honest, for this price I do expect better quality food.

First of all, I grew up in Beijing and Peking Duck is a very common dish to me. I have probably tried twenty different restaurants’ duck, dine in or delivered, and I do know what it’s supposed to taste like. According to the owner, the duck was made thru standard process, yet it is still partly raw. My friend and I could not finish the dish even though we were starving at the time. I don’t know what your standard temperature is or your procedure is, but if you insist that there’s nothing wrong with a pink and overly oily peking duck, please inform me where your chef’s been working at prior to your restaurant, so I can avoid that one as well.

What I meant by bland is the fried rice is not flavored enough with salt and other flavors. Not talking about the scent of the truffle. Considering how salty and spicy your beef roll is, I don’t think the rice should be this bland.

Rather than pushing the issues back to the customer, please listen to the real feedbacks and improve your food quality, such as check your food to see if the duck is still raw and to see if you forgot to put salt...

What a pity. No good. Great location, certainly, good welcome and service, but the food was disappointing, and I know and truly appreciate authentic Chinese food. I have lived 20 years in Hongkong and Shanghai. In short: 1. Oily (?) Cucumber Salad; we love Cucumber salad, didn’t mind the surprising spiciness, but utterly to greasy. Xiao Long Bao, classical soup dumplings, our usual all time favorite in a true Chinese restaurant, they were bland, but perhaps the most disappointing was the unusually thick dough! Don’t know whether this related to frozen ones, or an otherwise mass product procured elsewhere but somehow, for sure, they were not made in their kitchen. Shrimp Truffle dumplings: A fist time. Not bad, not exciting, rather bland and certainly barely noticing any truffle(s)’ flavor. Finally the Beijing duck, an other disappointment. While nicely presented, and a reasonable size for half a duck, and with all the trimmings and condiments, it was, again, too greasy, oily! The skin was not crispy, the duck meat was good, though, but then the whole dish was …..oily?! Also, and most revealing: A half duck comes typically with some 12-15 thin small crepes on the side. Our duck came with 6 pieces, six miserable crepes. And when I ordered another serving they charged us another 5$! Sad experience for such classics, disappointing, definitely not above average but underneath. The restaurant was 90% empty when we arrived. Usually a sign that often says a lot. Now we know why. A very unsatisfactory experience. Not to be...

We stumbled upon this restaurant while visiting the Rockefeller Center, and it’s definitely a spot you should visit for lunch! From Monday to Friday, 11 AM to 3 PM, they offer a lunch combo that includes two BBQ meats, vegetables, and your choice of soup or soda. We came for dinner, so we had to order à la carte, which is less cost-effective than lunch.

The House Special Roast Pork (Char Siu) is incredibly delicious — the balance of sweet and savory flavors is perfect!

The Pork Belly w. Special Sauce is also amazing. Both ends are crispy, and the center is tender. The dipping sauce complements it very well.

The Peaking Duck is roasted in two batches daily (once in the morning and once in the afternoon). The plating is beautiful, and the duck tastes great!

The Steam Egg Custard Buns (3) are actually salted egg yolk custard buns — rich and satisfying.

The Pea Shoots w. Chicken Soup were just okay — they use mature pea shoots rather than the tender young ones, so try it based on your preference.

The service was also excellent — friendly...
