My apartment is equidistant to two Chinese takeouts. New to the area, I want to try everything! The consensus for both is four stars -- based on takeout, that is -- each with differences that would steer me to one over another, depending upon my order. Asian 83 has an extensive menu, more so than the other place. Their hot and sour soup is the right level of spice and pretty good, though not as rich as would be my preference. Last minute, I added an eggroll. I generally like a lot of cabbage. This has a lot of pork. I thought it was delicious! Under the best of circumstances chow mein is mild, almost nondescript. It surprises even ME that I like it! Asian 83's version is okay. Not the best, not the worst. My other place doesn't even sell it. For what it's worth, you can save a bit of money at Asian 83. They should however, paint their walls. The interior is dark and gloomy, almost deterring me from placing an order. But as said, their food is good. read more

Good, classic, cheap Chinese place on the upper East side. Good combo meals with a lot of food. I've ordered from here 4-5 times now and it is my go to in a pinch. Food is ready in 15 minutes. The staff is very friendly and is just ripping out orders left and right. Note this is only a takeout place. Nowhere inside or out to dine My go-to dishes are kung pao chicken and the chicken and eggplant. The fried dumplings are good, too (would avoid steamed and veggie ones). Will be back! read more

Great I love this place! Best beets best general tsp w b rice diet sprite 1. 1 Diet Coke

Great, fast Chinese food. Service is always quick. My go to late night food to go Chinese in the UES

This is a typical take out Chinese restaurant. It's nothing special but for last minute Chinese food it hits the spot. I've gotten the sweet and sour chicken as well as the shrimp and broccoli combo dinners. read more

This is my to go Chinese take out on the UES. I get the Singapore Mai fun lunch special with egg drop. I always ask no roast pork and they made sure to do it. I made same request at other restaurants and they will say yes and forgot. I've also had shrimp with broccoli, chicken with string bean, shrimp with lobster sauce, shrimp chow mein, and all of them were decent. It is not the best but also not the worst. The service is great. read more

I've ordered from this place for years now and honestly the cheese wontons and pork dumplings never disappoint. Sure this place isn't the BEST place for dinner options, but the appetizers are just too good here. The staff is very nice and accommodating to any requests you have. read more

On a lazy hungry afternoon, me and my boyfriend decided to order from this Chinese restaurant because it was one of the closet one to us for pickup and we wanted to try new Chinese restaurant! Also, I want to mention that the prices here are amazing especially in this neighborhood. We ordered through UberEats and the extensive menu options appealed to us (they even had noodle soups with your choice of protein) We ordered the Sesame Chicken Combo with fried rice and the Singapore Chow Mei Fun. As soon as we got the notification that the order was ready, we went to pick it up - but it was not readwe still have to wait for the food to be finish cooking. The food was packaged with no utensils - not even a piece of napkin but it was sealed neatly in a brown paper bag. My noodles was not warm - I had to even heat it up in the microwave for about a minute. The Singapore Chow Mei Fun was pretty disappointing because it didn't have as much flavor as it should and there wasn't much chicken in the noodles - Also, there was like just one piece of fried egg in there. There was a decent amount of shrimp in there, but I wasn't sure how fresh they tasted. However I did like that it wasn't too oily and the portion size was decent. The Sesame chicken Combo was pretty decent as well, but nothing out of the ordinary. Overall, I probably won't be stopping here again to order my usual Singapore Chow Mei Fun but I would come here again to try out their noodle soups! read more

Really delicious dumplings! Decent prices too. Would come here again. General Tso's also good.

Honestly for the price it doesn't get much better then that, the food tastes clean and very tasty, they're always super fast when delivering as well, definitely my go to take out spot read more

Quick service, free delivery, and the food is always good. What more could you ask for? Not much room for seating inside so I would recommend take out or delivery. But if you'd like to sit in they have a couple of tables to sit and eat. Definitely the best take out spot I've found on the upper east side. read more

After a disappointing visit to a local Mexican restaurant, I decided to stop here. I wish I could have tried more of their entrees, but I settled on the Shrimp Lo Mein and it's the best that I've ever eaten. read more

Not sure about the bad reviews here - been ordering for a few years now for both delivery and pickup and always like it. I def recommend the takeout, especially for the price. read more

Was dog sitting in the area, and wanted some takeaway. Walking around, came across this little spot and I decided to try them. It definitely wasn't a mistake, I had the Sesame Chicken & Fried rice combo lunch special, and it was the BEST I've ever had. The sauce on the chicken was amazing and the fried rice was delicious. The portion was huge with loads of chicken, and for the price in 2023, YOU WON'T beat it. Definitely WILL BE BACK! I live in Nassau county, I'm in the city often, and I will definitely come uptown to go back to Asian 83. read more

Best Chinese in the UES. Affordable, consistently great, and fast! The best!!! Will be hard trying to find a place that competes when I move out of the hood read more

Asian 83 - L10. Lo Mein Lunch - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

I ordered crab Rangoon and they gave me cheese wonton. Chicken in chicken lo main was rather questionable. Will not be going back

Ordered chow mein--a noodle dish-- and received a watery pile of cabbage with some veggies and rice. When I called to inform them they sent the wrong order I was told I was wrong and that is in fact chow mein. Despite the almost universal definition involving noodles, the restaurant told me I was wrong and that no Chinese restaurant made chow mein with noodles. read more

This review is based on a single dish, the "mapo tofu". * The mapo tofu was not mapo tofu. I think they used duck sauce as a base, because it was actually sweet and instead of salty/spicy. No sichuan or numbing taste/flavor. I specifically asked for extra spicy... * The color of the dish was also completely off. Looked like syrup was poured over tofu. Brown soupy base. More watery than oily. * They also didn't even use the right tofu. Its supposed to be silky tofu, but they used firm tofu. FIRM. WTFFFF..... * The "peppers" they put in were dead and barely had any taste let alone any spicy kick. Clearly a garnish or super old peppercorn thats past its shelf-life. * Also they have the mapo under pork section, but there was no meat in the dish. Instead, it they put in canned peas and carrots. Don't bother ordering authentic, because this place clearly caters to the american palate, and probably specializes in serving american chinese food. Wasted $16 dollars thinking I'd be getting my mapo fix. Why put these items on the menu if you cant even deliver. read more

The food was ok. but it arrived 40 minutes late, cold and in a broken container spilled all over the inside of the bag. They would not do anything about it. read more

Asian 83 is fantastic. You know it because of a few things: You walk into the restaurant and you see that the cashier and cooks are both wearing two layers of jackets and a beanie. This is because it's cold in the restaurant to reduce costs of heating. This savings is passed onto you, and it's apparent as you glance through the menu. Lunch specials that come with an egg roll or soup, a heap of rice, and a full entree cost only $6.75. Then as you order your standard Chinese food, you look at the little space heater off to the side of the restaurant plugged into an outlet. You look closer at the heater and you see that it's set to a toasty 41F. You wonder if it was supposed to be celsius. You sit down at the seats and realize the two tables in the restaurant are actually meant to be temporary places to wait for the food rather than to eat your meal. You decide to take the food home. As you grab your food, even having not indicated you'd like to take out, the food is wrapped in a plastic bag and a paper bag stapled together - identical to any order that's ready to go out for delivery. You prepare to leave the restaurant, and you spot the B health rating stuck to the window as you turn to exit. Asian 83 is kind of a glorified Chinese family's kitchen. That's exactly what I want. The food is incredible for this price. read more

Have order here multiple times and normally it's good. However past couple times I have placed an order and i was delivered the wrong thing. I have been a pescatarian for over 10 years and would order shrimp and be delivered chicken. I disappointed because it goes to show they do not pay attention to customer orders. read more

Absolutely terrible food and service. Undercooked and got my order wrong. When I walked back I got an attitude from the cashier. Stay away!

It might not be the absolute best, but as far as price /quality is pretty convenient. And they deliver to me so they're awesome for those sudden cravings that you just need to satisfy. I actually do like their dumplings (steamed) and 8 for less than 7$ kinda brings me back to When Prosperity Dumplings was still open (the sadness is still very real). Wouldn't brag about this place to friends, but would order again. They're also very nice, at least on the phone, so that doesn't hurt. read more

Best takeout Chinese food in the area -- amazingly cheap, delicious food, and quick service. I'd recommend their fried dumplings and their chicken lo mein most of all, but everything I've ordered has always hit the spot. read more

We're from out of town and this was the closest Chinese restaurant open near where we were staying. I ordered the food through their website, which was surprising, and requested it be delivered. This place mind you is .3 miles away from us. We were busy packing for our flight in the morning and to my surprise an hour had gone by and we did not have the food. I called the restaurant to make sure I provided them with the correct address and I did. The response I got was "I don't know how much longer. I think he left to bring you the food, but I don't know. I can't tell you how much longer." Ok? Another 20 minutes goes by and the guy finally shows up. I will say the food was very hot and fresh, which was nice since I figured everything would be cold. I ordered my meal with veggies and no fried rice. What I got was 3 pieces of broccoli and a heap of rice. Annoying, but what and I going to do about it at this point. There are 100s of other Chinese take out places in the city, I would skip by this one if I were you read more

Good quality typical Chinese American food. Very fast delivery. They forgot to include 1 soup that I ordered and upon calling them about it, no questions asked - a replacement was delivered within 10 minutes. We order prawns and veggies, chicken orange and a few others - all very good read more

SOOOO GROSSS! EWWWWW...A COCKROACH IN OUR RICE!!!! Seriously, we are scarred for life!!! Called the health department. STAY AWAY! Should've paid attention to their Grade Pending rating. Many other choices nearby. It's the one red awing with the phone number 212 288 06?? Keep walking! read more

Ordered chicken pad thai and vegetable dumplings. The pad thai was bland and boring, no veggies in it just noodles and chicken. The vegetable dumplings had extremely thick dough and the only filling was cabbage. So it was basically a cabbage dumpling. I won't be ordering from here again. read more

Good value for your food. I liked the pan fried noodles and dumplings. For takeout I really enjoyed it.

We had General Tsao's chicken, which was delivered. It came within about 45 minutes which is decent. But the dish itself just wasn't that good. Heavy sauces, soggy breading, and small pieces of chicken. The price is comparable to that of other Chinese delivery places $11. You get a fortune cookie that comes with it. Meh. read more

Really good and cheap Chinese food! My new go to in the upper East side. Can't beat the value for the price

I just ordered from here on UberEATS, and I'm happy to say I just found my new go-to place to order chinese food from. I just moved right out of the delivery area of some of my favs, so I took a risk and tried something new with Uber and it definitely was a good choice. Everything tasted well made, and it was still piping hot when it got here. I'll definitely be ordering from here again. read more

Good food and is worth a while. Not a lot of option in the upper east side for good fast food. My fave

Orange or general tso's chicken.... bomb. Great prices and great portions. my husband and I's fav takeout atm.

Pretty standard NYC Chinese takeout on the UES. Not as dirty as others, certainly not nice enough to eat in. You're taking out or getting delivery here. After a few orders I can only say, again, standard. It takes no risks. It tastes like it should. It'll grease up your insides so you can act like a human after being hungover all morning. Delivery is fast and friendly. Pick-up is faster and... not un-friendly? The best idea is to do as I do; order a small egg drop w/ wonton and some rice as soon as your eyes unglue from your friends couch. They'll be by in 20-30min and your day can start. Enjoy! (as you certainly did the night before). read more

Don't order delivery from this dirty restaurant. Delivery person refused to come up to apartment. Cursed off doormen who asked him to go to service entrance (which delivery people are required to use). Had entered (pre)-tip electronically, so he didn't care. Called restaurant to inform them their delivery person is rude and they hung up on me! Will never eat in at or order from this restaurant again. read more

It is always good to have a neighborhood crap Chinese food place. This is that place. If you ever lived in the suburbs and ate at a place called wok n roll or something like that, this is the New York equivalent. It's definitely not Chinatown quality or even New York quality outstanding Chinese food. It is just American style Chinese food and it is pretty inexpensive. I see a lot of the reviews have complaints about the length of time for deliveries-the solution for you is to just pick up. I always call and they say come in 10 minutes and the food is always there. Sometimes I call when I get off the subway and just walk straight there and the food is usually ready within one or two minutes of me being there. The reason I'm giving this place four stars because if you expect it to be something miraculous, your expectations will not be met. But if you have the expectations that you want a mediocre neighborhood Chinese food place we can just pick up Chinese food on a night that you feel like eating Chinese food and don't want any frills or anything like that, this is your go to place. It be like if I gave Chick-fil-A four stars- does it really deserve it? Probably not because it is fine dining... Because it is giving you exactly what you want read more

I love this little place! It's great for fast Chinese food. The service is good and it's perfect for takeout/delivery. The food is delicious and great quality as well. I highly suggest the vegetable spring rolls and the lo mein. The prices are great too. read more

This has become my go to Chinese delivery. $9.50 for a combo meal (entree, rice, plus egg roll). I go with the general tso's or sesame chicken with fried rice. You can't ask for much more for this price. Flavors are good. Fried rice is good. Egg roll left something to be desired. If you have in mind typical Chinese takeout for dinner, this is it. Don't expect a light and not greasy meal. Delivery always on time. read more
