The service was amazing!!! A server came up to our table immediately after sitting down and our food started coming out around 5 minutes after ordering. The dumplings and chicken mei fun we ordered were AMAZING!!! The environment was very cozy and welcoming. Would 100% recommend if you're in China Town! read more

definitely the best soup dumplings i've had in chinatown - skin was super thin and there was a lot of hot soup inside!! everything else was quite salty. even the soup was too salty which i think is a feat given it's a clear soup :,( the string beans were interesting i've never had string beans in a chinese restaurant cooked with 榨菜 (which i believe is called pickled mustard tuber?? lolol) but unfortunately it was wayyy to salty :( the wontons were very peanut butter forward, and somewhat sweet so if you're into that that's where it's at. they only accept cash/venmo which was fine cuz the food was cheap per person. service was very quick which was good cuz we were a bit rushed for time. average/slightly below average chinese restaurant in chinatown aside from the soup dumplings read more

This is exactly what you're going to expect when you visit a NYC Chinatown restaurant. It was busy, a little rushed, but we received our food in less than a minute. Get the pan fried pork dumplings. They're cheap, you get 8 of them, they're huge, and they're delicious. The best dumplings I've had from anywhere in the US. read more

We arrived at lunch time on the weekend and were able to get seated in around 15 minutes. The service is fast and once you order, its about 10 minutes before your food starts to arrive in waves. The soup dumplings were really hot and the warm juices were perfect to soothe the throat after a night of drinking. Not everything here was exactly to my preference, but the soup dumplings definitely hit the spot. Warning ahead of time, they only accept cash or Venmo, so be prepared to pay accordingly. read more

I definitely wanted to try some authentic Chinese food while NYC and decided on Deluxe Green Bo. We went on a Saturday afternoon and waited about 15 minutes to be seated. They only take cash or Venmo. We were welcomed with complimentary green tea. I ordered the spring rolls, sesame chicken and shrimp fried rices. I didn't enjoy the spring rolls, the sesame chicken was covered in a thick, red sauce and was ok. The shrimp fried rice was a bit of a let down. It was mushy and wet. The flavor was decent though. The service was fast and friendly. I just wished I'd picked a different restaurant. read more

I don't like leaving negative reviews, especially for Chinatown local businesses, but the service and food at Deluxe Green Bo were really disappointing. I'm not sure if it was just an off day, since my family has enjoyed this spot and recommended it to me. Our experience felt rushed from the start. We were there for less than 30 minutes, with a table still full of food we had barely touched, and the server was already asking if we wanted everything packed up to go. The restaurant wasn't even busy at all. As for the food, I was especially excited to try the pan fried pork buns (生煎包), but they fell short. The bottoms weren't crispy, the wrappers were overly thick, and there was very little filling...definitely not the juicy bite I was expecting. We also ordered the preserved cabbage and pork braised noodle (雪菜肉絲煨麵), which was SO BLAND. Honestly something I feel like I could make better at home. The shanghai kaofu (上海烤麩) appetizer was just okay and quite salty. The only part I really enjoyed in that dish was the bamboo shoots. read more

Went to Deluxe Green Bo on a Saturday with a friend for an early lunch. It is located on Bayard Street, about a five-minute walk from the Canal Street subway. They are cash or Venmo only, no cards accepted. The restaurant is on the smaller side, but there were plenty of tables available, and we sat by the window. As soon as you are seated, they bring over complimentary green tea, which is unlimited. We started with the scallion pancakes, which were very good, crispy and flavorful with a savory dipping sauce. Then we wanted to try a few dumpling options and ordered the boiled pork and leek dumplings as well as the lightly fried pork and scallion dumplings. Between the three dishes, we left feeling full and satisfied. Everything was very good and well-seasoned. Even the dumplings that leaned slightly doughy still had a good balance of filling to wrapper. The service was quick and attentive, and the total bill came to under $30, which was a great value. I would definitely recommend and look forward to returning. read more

This is one of the best spots in Chinatown to get authentic Chinese food for super cheap. Their lunch special lets you pick 3 entrees with soup and rice for $25.95! The Pepper Steak was nice and tender. The General Tsos Chicken was a solid classic option. I also got the Salt & Pepper Pork Chops which were fried lightly and seasoned well. Service is super attentive and food came out 5 minutes after ordering. It's not the biggest place but tables finish up quickly so it's not a long wait. They have 1 bathroom downstairs as well. read more

I went here for lunch and no, I did not get the lunch special with 3 options; and yes, it does appear like an old school place, but I liked it. We enjoyed a tasty selection including string beans, spicy wontons, soup dumplings with pork and salt and pepper squid. While the portions were normal size, we left stuffed. Everything was fresh and good, served quickly. I spied a few good looking dishes on other tables that I would like to go back and try (on my table). read more

I went back to get my favorite dumplings at Deluxe Green Bo, and had a great time. They greeted us at the door and we got seated immediately. The small shop still has lots of seating, and the service is excellent. The food was all so delicious. I love how the Fried Tiny Buns are so soft, but I feel like the filling is different! I vaguely remember the filling being more like pulled pork, or at least more generous. I guess we may have gotten lucky last time. The beef lo mein was also delicious. read more

Ordered DoorDash from here and it was amazing. I got the chicken and broccoli rice bowl and it was exactly what I wanted. A good amount of chicken and broccoli and lots of rice. It definitely felt more like a lunch portion than a dinner portion, but honestly no complaints. It was around $10 and for the price it felt like a great deal. Simple, really good, and super satisfying. I'll definitely be ordering from here again. read more

Deluxe Green Bo was an absolute disappointment and would recommend you go to another restaurant in Chinatown for a good meal!!!!! [Note - You can places I recommend in Chinatown in my Yelp Collection "Explore Chinese Food (5 Stars to 1 Star)."] Ignore Deluxe Green Bo's reviews in the window - which I should have done!!! Often walk past so decided to try it out. Noted afterwards those posted "raves" dates from the '90s. Give me a break! Ordered Chow Fun with Mixed Meat and Shrimp - absolutely muted nominal flavor and mediocre at best!! The majority of the tables were empty, although a few (what appeared to be) tourists entered while I was seated. Nevertheless, when I reached for my cup of tea the waiter rudely tried to take away my food before I had finished. Unbelievable!... had to stop him!!! It wasn't like there were customers waiting to be seated! New York's Chinatown has a number of super cheap as well as reasonably priced world class restaurants. Given that, whether you're a tourist or native New Yorker, my recommendation is walk past Deluxe Green Bo and don't bother checking it out. read more

Deluxe Green Bo was pretty average for me overall. We tried the xiao long bao, and while the service was quick, the food itself did not really stand out. The soup dumplings were smaller than expected, not very flavorful, and honestly not that filling either. They felt like a typical bao you could get at a lot of places without anything memorable about them. Also noticed the restaurant had a B health rating posted, which did make us hesitate a little. Prices were not terrible, and the food came out fast, but with so many dumpling spots nearby, I probably would not come back specifically for the xiao long bao. read more

Came here for an earlylunch with a friend and got seated at a larger table witb a few other parties, a pretty common experience to have at a traditional Chinese restaurant. Menu had a good mix of dishes and we got a few to share. Dumplings and soup dumplings were solid - I thought it was pretty delicious! Solid experience, good service, tasty food. I wouldn't mind coming back in the future! read more

Came here again while I was in town and everything was just as good as I remembered. Service here is great, fast and the staff is very nice. We got some pan fried dumplings, crispy noodles, and the hot and spicy wontons. Everything tasted great! We enjoyed everything but my boyfriend and I both agreed that the noodle dish had too much sauce (it was drowning lol) and the hot and spicy wontons were not even a little bit spicy. Don't like my critiques dissuade you though because the food here was seriously delicious! read more

Tourist trap with modern day Social Media marketing. The food here is bad. It WILL make you sick. Long lines always and cash only. We got their Rice Cakes (tasted only like Chili Oil) and Dumplings (no taste at all). The saving grace was the garlic dipping oil which we used until the last drop. Skip this place please read more

Came here to get takeout for their trending shengjianbao. The service was really quick, shoutout to the lady in front who for bonus points spoke English though not necessary but nice for tourists. The togo order was assembled really quickly too. Solid spot, and definitely recommend to sit down and get an experience for an authentic chinatown dining experience, but if you're used to eating shengjianbao, I would say that they're good, but nothing I neeeed to run back for. The bottom wasn't super crispy but the dough was fluffy. I wish the meat was more savory/seasoned but there was a nice chive flavor running through it. I see it on a lot of food crawl lists and it def is a spot you can get shengjianbao in Chinatown, though I can't say it's my favorite, but I would def come back to dine and check out the rest of their fare because it is authentic! read more

Not an exaggeration these were the best scallion pancakes I've ever had in my life, and I think I've eaten through most of Chinatown. The scallion pancakes are a must get. We also got the subgum stirfry fried rice cakes and soup dumplings. It was plenty of food to share between two people. We both left full and satisfied. The service and ambience were exactly what you could expect from a Chinatown restaurant, quick and easy service, comfortable tables and chairs . This place definitely gets busy! It is super popular and there might be a wait unless you want to wait up to an hour. I probably wouldn't go during peak weekend dinner hours, but I think we only waited a few minutes for a table for an early weekday dinner. Will definitely be back and demolish some more scallion pancakes read more

Love this place always get the same thing, hadn't been back in about a year. Ordered the general tso chicken lunch special which comes with white rice. Price is still good but the portion seems much smaller. Did the shrimp fried rice and it was delicious. And their tofu soup (included) is delicious. Service is still quick, you're not going to feel at home but they get the job done. Would still recommend and will continue to go back. Remember cash only or Venmo. read more

Dumplings and baos were solid. Good chewy or fluffy skin and juicy, meaty filling. Not happy about the chili wontons topped with peanut butter, NOT peanut sauce.

Walked in, restaurant was packed! the lady took my order and got me my takeout within 7 min I swear! I was so excited and sat down on the side of the street and had to go for the pork XLB which burned my mouth but it was soooo good. Then the "tiny" pan fried buns were crispy on the bottom and so soft and juicy. I must have been enjoying it so much because a black lady who stepped out of her car looked at me and demanded I point her to where she can get the same thing. And I watched her go in and get her takeout bag too! read more

Came here on a Saturday at 8:30 pm and it was packed. My group of three waited about 25 mins to be seated. We waited outside and they would come out to call out the groups. They had the menu outside the restaurant so I kept in mind what I wanted to order. We ordered their soup dumplings which was sooo so so so amazing. You must try if you come to this restaurant!! The staff was also super friendly and kept things running smoothly despite the large number of people everywhere. They have a single stall bathroom located in the basement of their establishment which was a hassle to get to but still glad they have one. read more

I want to start this by saying the food was amazing!! Everything tasted so fresh and this is truly a hidden gem. The place is very small and very crowded but overall it was very clean and the workers were very nice. Something I really enjoyed was that when you dine in your given a pot of tea and little cups! Absolutely enhanced our experience!! They give amazing portions, so much so, me and my boyfriend had to take some back to your place. We got Fried rice, pork dumplings (fried), beef and broccoli, and lo mein noodles with vegetables. read more

We came in on a Friday at about noon and were able to snag one of the last tables. The staff here is super friendly and I saw a few tourists shy away because they seemed intimidated by crowd and possibly because they didn't speak the language but someone immediately went outside to greet them and help them get a table. Fried Pork dumplings (5/5): these were amazing! Perfect flavor and crispiness. A must order! Soup dumplings (3/5): these actually weren't my favorite soup dumplings. I would have rather focused more of the fried dumplings or the Pan fried noodles (5/5): I love pan fried noodles and these were some of the best I've ever had. The flavor was perfect and sauce to noodle ratio was just right so that it makes the noodles just soft enough while retaining some crunch. Overall this was a great stop to get some authentic food in Chinatown read more

Came here because I heard their soup dumplings were good. I was with my young daughter. Unfortunately we weren't able to try the dumplings. There was a minimum of $9 per person in order to sit and eat. It was FREEZING outside so I didn't want to stand outside with my child and try soup dumplings lol sounds messy. There was no way my kid was going to eat an entire order of anything on her own and I didn't want to spend extra money to then have to carry food home. As per the service, every server continuously came up to us every 45 seconds asking if we were ready to order. It was a little overwhelming. More time is needed to review the lengthy menu. ESPECIALLY for those who never been here before. I will come back when I'm with adults. read more

You will be overstimulated here beyond your wildest imaginations. We were sat at a large round table with 4 other couples while the waiters are running around yelling. Food is delicious, although it was weird they slapped peanut butter on top of the spicy wontons. read more

Great takeout spot! We ordered chicken and broccoli, fried rice, hot and sour soup, and hot and spicy wontons. Loved the fried rice and chicken and broccoli.

I love soup dumplings and while I do have my favorites (currently Noodle Village wins Chinatown for me), I enjoy trying out other places. The pork/crab soup dumplings here were okay, adequate soup filling/thin wrapper but nothing outstanding, not crabby enough. My partner didn't particularly like them either. I did really love the hot and spicy wontons. I found it to have sweet flavor to it but my partner said they were a little too spicy for her. They were filled well and the wrapper was nice and thin. We also tried the rice cakes with cabbage/pork. They were good. No complaints, basic dish. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side but not hole in the wall small. It's a little hectic and rushed but that's Chinatown for you. I wouldn't be opposed to coming back but not putting it on a "can't wait to go back" list. read more

Amazing soup dumplings! The skin was super thin and consistent, and the filling was juicy and meaty. Will be back to have them again. We also got a the stir fry beef chow fun and a double cooked pork. The noodles were standard but a little skimpy of the portion/beef, but can't complain too much as it was only $13. The double cooked pork is a pass, there were probably 3 pieces of pork in the dish and tofu mixed in. Restaurant is super small and tables are cramped together. Service is what you would expect for a restaurant in chinatown. read more
