Customer Review Summary
Fried rice draws the most attention, especially the Yangzhou fried rice, described as light and fluffy with well-cooked eggs, and the salt fish fried rice, though one visitor to the FiDi location found it undercooked and missing the "wok air" the dish depends on, prompting the kitchen to quickly add more salted fish. Close behind, dumplings recur often: chicken dumplings, taro dumplings, and bbq dumplings, alongside orange chicken called crispy with enough sauce, and duck over rice ordered repeatedly by one visiting couple. The Mongolian beef, the sticky rice with pork and dried baby shrimp in lotus leaf, the cucumber salad, and the stuffed mince pork ball also get singled out by name. Several reviewers compare locations, noting the FiDi branch has fewer dim sum options and higher prices than the Chinatown original, though they point to calmer seating and staff providing house XO sauce, which one reviewer called blissful, as upsides there. One diner recounts leaving a wallet behind and having staff return it untouched, declining a tip offered in thanks.

“Coming from trying many Chinese restaurants, the portions here are generous, and the dishes were not oily. The plating could be improved a bit though for Chinese broccoli dish. The presentation made it looked like parts were burnt but it was the addition of fried olives in the sauce. The Yangzhou fried rice stood out. After trying several places in NYC, this one was among the top. It was light, not greasy, with fluffy rice and well-cooked eggs. The portion was fitting for three people.The Mongolian beef was even better. The beef was tender, and the onions were sweet and fully cooked without any raw taste. Although the restaurant is known for dim sum, the regular dishes are worth ordering too, especially the fried rice and beef stir-fry. The atmosphere is a bit loud since dinner time can get busy around 8pm.”

“It is the third time we came back here for dinner during our one-week visit in NYC for my daughter's college graduation ceremony. We have tried almost all of the veggie dishes on the menu. We love each one of them.”

“Our go-to dim sum restaurant, consistently hits. We usually get take out for convenience, but it’s a treat to dine in with their pretty decor (the lit up scenic walls change the ambiance entirely, second best thing to actually being at the top of a mountain 😂). They have some fun dishes like eggplant with salted fish, and a stir fried turnip cake with duck. Classics are solid too.”
- Anne Medina
“One of the best Chinese restaurant in NYC. From cleanliness, fresh ingredients, perfectly prepared delicious authentic dishes. Here’s the list of the dishes I tasted so far : yang chow fried rice, salt and pepper shrimp, beef stew and duck over rice, seafood shumai, pork and shrimp shumai, crispy garlic spareribs and egg tart pie.”
- Valeria Romero
“It is a very beautiful and comfortable place with very friendly staff and delicious food. The service is always excellent, no reservation is required, and there is food for all ages; I found it to be a very pleasant place to spend time together.”
