I always come here, been coming here for many years. One of the extremely few original Cuban Chinese restaurants left in NYC. I frequent both left in NYC. This one is closer to my present home. I enjoy the food here it's always fresh and consistent, I usually order the Sopa China and either the Pork Chop dinner combo or the Bistec Palomija Encebollado combo; they both come with pork fried rice , sweet plantains, and salad, delicious. When they have avocado it's a great accompaniment and finish it off with a hot Spanish Coffee. They always make me feel welcome and give outstanding service. The place is very clean as well. Thursday , Friday, and Saturday are especially busy evenings. Though I'm not a drinker I have seen some pretty cool exotic drinks for some group tables as well and everyone is always happy. Parking is convenient as well and it's right in the middle of...
Read moreExcellent food and incredible service. I went with a group to celebrate a birthday and the staff was so kind and thoughtful! Menu is extensive and has something for everyone. Dishes can be ordered individually or share-style. We shared and all our dishes were great- calamari and oxtail were extra delicious!
For a casual restaurant at an affordable price point, we really appreciated some of the extra bells and whistles like complimentary wonton crackers and bread. The food arrived at a steady pace so there was always something hot, and they changed our plates between apps and entrees. They let us bring in a birthday cake. They let us split the check multiple ways too. You can go to a trendy restaurant with fussy rules and time limits where "everything comes as it's ready" so they can turn the table, or you can come here and be treated with warmth and hospitality...
Read moreBest Chinese food outside of Chinatown! The tasty food is definitely the star but the friendly staff and comfortable booths make it fun place to be. Full Chinese menu and Spanish/Cuban menu - both cuisines done to perfection. Great place to go even for cocktails and appetizers. I recommend pina colada, mojito, margarita and any rum drink; martinis are made to perfection. The higher prices get you better quality food, generous portions and all the extras. First class in all areas.
While I love Neuvo Jardin for the delicious food, I have come to rely on this friendly spot for a much needed cocktail and some tasty appetizers. It may be a refreshing mojito, a festive rum drink or an elegant martini. It is the perfect way to start the week or enjoy a mid-week treat and let's not forget the weekends!! Cheers to the best restaurant...
