    Dimsum menu
    Seby I.

    It was almost 3 pm when I realized how famished I was attending Scentxplore. While in the queue on 38th Street waiting to enter the event, I had passed Evergreen on 38 and picked up a takeout menu. So here I came to have lunch. As none of the lunch specials appealed to me I decided to have dimsum. Steamed shrimp dumplings are always welcomed in my book and Chicken and Pork Sticky Rice would fill me up. Evergreen on 38 is a largish restaurant with an entrance that has a bar and potted plants. The large dining room has many tables and a brightly lit Christmas tree greeted guests. The two dimsum came and I started eating. There were two bundles of the sticky rice which was nice. As it's quite filling I took one home. Both cash and cards are accepted. I paid a total of $15 for lunch which included a tip. Service was quiet and fine.

    How do I even begin? This place is absolutely beautiful and welcoming from the moment you walk in. You're immediately embraced by the atmosphere, and the environment naturally leads you to your table. The food is outstanding--full of flavor and beautifully prepared--and the staff is attentive and genuinely caring. I love the concept of enjoying traditional Chinese dishes paired with such warm, heartfelt hospitality. Some of my favorite dishes were the pepper steak, chicken and broccoli, fried rice, and the dumplings. Honestly, everything on the menu is delicious--you truly can't go wrong with anything you order. I give this place a full five stars . Whether you're going with family, on a date, for a corporate dinner, or even dining solo, you'll have a great experience.- Tony!

    Amongst the many Chinese restaurants in Manhattan, Evergreen is a good choice for Dim Sum or Classic Chinese, as they featured many regional selections. Everything we ordered came out in a timely fashion, and properly prepared. The inside dining area is quite large, especially for NYC. The staff was friendly, and service was prompt. However, they do cater to tour groups, and when they arrive, it can get very busy in an instant. But don't let that deter you, as their quality and pricing stands tall amongst the heavy competition.

    Tree-ears appetizer was on a cold appetizer list. Supposed to have health benefits.

    Evergreen on 38 is one of my family's favorite restaurants. The sauce is not overpowering. This time three of us ordered Fish filet with bokchoy, Dry string beans, beef noodle soup, chicken fried rice, turnip cakes. They added many dim-sum. Try more authentic Chinese dishes and desserts. The ambiance and service were top notch. Yum!

    Delish food, great service, great price point on entrees and appetizers. Anything under $150 for a party of 5 in NYC is a great deal. Dim Sum, Soup Dumplings, spring rolls, entrees were all great. 5/5 recommend

    10/30/23: Afterwork dinner and drinks. Wasn't crowded seated immediately. Waitstaff wasn't the warmest but he got the job done. Pretty decent cosmopolitan. As we weren't overly hungry we shared a few plates. Basically overpriced Chinese food. For the price wouldn't mind too much but for the meals not served with rice...hmmm. Appetizers: scallion pancakes a bit greasy and very thin. Can we talk about the soup dumplings. Actually first time trying and they were yummy. Shrimp and broccoli was good nice portions. Also opted for the shrimp fried rice. All in all decent dine. Reservations made via Seated, love the seated dollars earned. Download seated app use code michelle1454.

    Grand Marnier Jumbo Shrimp
    Cee E.

    I came here for takeout last week and I had a really pleasant experience. I came mid-afternoon so it was too late to take advantage of their lunch specials menu, but the regular prices weren't too bad. I ordered the Grand Marnier shrimp as well as the Kung Pao chicken. Grand marnier shrimp is one of those entrees that not all Chinese restaurants offer and it happens to be one of my favorite meals. I specifically chose this restaurant with the intent of ordering this.The kung pao chicken was more an after thought, but I'm glad I tried both. The order took about 15-20 minutes to prepare and the person who took my order was really nice. He confirmed whether I wanted white or brown rice with my order and was kind enough to throw in a soda on the house. The entrees were packed neatly and came in sturdy plastic containers. I tried the grand marnier shrimp first and saved the kung Pao chicken for the next day. The grand marnier shrimp came with about 7-8 jump shrimp and broccoli on the side. The shrimp were not overly battered but nicely crispy. The sauce had a nice flavor but was there was a little bit too much of it. I wish they would have gone a little lighter on the sauce, but I still really enjoyed it and I thought the portion size was generous. The Kung Pao chicken dish was pretty vegetable heavy but there was also a decent amount of chicken. The chicken was savory and not overly spicy since it was easy to pick out the peppers. The meal was a little greasy but not too much. I probably liked the shrimp just a bit more but I would definitely come back to try more!

    Service is great here. We tried and shared a variety of things and I'm glad that we did. We had a vegetable spring roll, vegetable dumplings and fried chicken dumplings. For our main course we ordered Chicken Fried Rice, General Tso's Chicken and Beef w/ Broccoli. I loved the Beef w/ Broccoli. It was my favorite of everything that I tried. The broccoli was crisp and the beef was very tender. Great seasoning too. The chicken fried rice was also very good.

    Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday on an early Saturday night. Have never eaten here and am surprised at how massive the place is. The birthday friend took the lead on ordering, plenty of choices for everyone including my vegan friends. Food was delicious and service was good. Will definitely come back here again - my fave was the crispy dry pot chicken.

    On a trip to NYC w our high schoolers on a class trip. Accommodated 30+ very well. Very spacious in back of restaurant. Nice decor yet comfortable, casual. Food was wonderful. They were very accommodating with my beef and pork allergy! Excellent authentic Chinese at a decent price.

    They charged mandatory tips

    They increased lunch special prices and the foods are good and authentic. However, they charge mandatory tips and also expect you to add additional tips which is so unethical

    Shrimp Fried Rice- well cooked and savory.

I know it's in a very busy area with a lot of tourists, so I won't really dock them on that. I got the Shanghai spring rolls and the pork soup dumplings, and both were very good. The soup dumplings were actually quite large, but the spring rolls are pretty small. Came out to over 20 bucks, which is reasonable but more than it was. A stirfry noodle dish is like $25 now! On that note, it's really nice inside and fun to sit at the "bar" and watch them make the dumplings. A great option if you're in the area and have a craving!

It's a pretty solid lunch spot for during work and this just happened to be a few blocks from my office. I thought this spot would look like a hole-in-the-wall spot, but the space is actually decent with a full dining area. They do have a lunch menu, which is in the last page of the menu. Why they hid it all the way in the back, I have my assumptions and suspicions. I had to get an order of soup dumplings here so I got the Crab Soup Dumplings ($15). The skin is a bit thicker than other spots, but that means the skin ain't going to break on you easily. And do be careful how you bite into it, as the first one I bit into, the soup splattered all over my shirt and pants. Overall tasted great. Soup dumplings was not going to fill me up along, so I got something off of their lunch menu and settled upon Orange Chicken w Brown Rice ($18.50). Chicken was white meat, which is battered and deep fried. It says it was spicy, but it really wasn't. Comes with a vegetable spring roll and a choice of rice, which makes this a pretty decent lunch deal for $20. Menu prices are cash prices. If you pay with a credit card, they will slap a 2% processing fee. Overall, service was pretty decent as well. Would come back again for lunch.

    A Chinatown Must‑Visit for Dumpling Lovers…read more I was in New York on a work trip, and my colleague - a proud local - promised to take me to the best dumpling spot in Chinatown. Let me tell you, he did not exaggerate. This place absolutely delivered. The moment we walked in, the atmosphere hit me first: colorful, lively, buzzing with energy in the best way. It's hip without trying too hard, and everything felt clean and well‑kept. Service was lightning fast, too - dishes were coming out almost as quickly as we could order them. Now, the dumplings. Amazing. Truly some of the best I've ever had. Perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and paired with a savory sauce that made every bite even better. Even the little dipping sauce was delicious. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. A couple of tips for anyone planning a visit: * They're cash‑only, so make sure you come prepared. * Reservations are encouraged - this place is clearly a go‑to spot, and for good reason. If you're in Chinatown and craving dumplings that actually live up to the hype, this restaurant is a must. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the city!

We sat down, ordered and had the food delivered to the table within ten minutes or maybe even less. The soup dumplings were piping hot, huge, and incredibly flavorful. The broth is this interesting chicken stock color but was very juicy. The total for six was $9.75 which wasn't bad at all. The salt and pepper squid was very interesting. I liked the flavor and kept coming back to it. The breading wasn't heavy and fried scallions or garlic on top made the dish. As for the noodles with scallion oil, not too bad. The flavor wasn't too rich, just nice and subtle. I believe for all three dishes the total came out to $50 before tax. At this time, cash is the only accepted form of payment.

There was a wait list to get seated when we arrived but the process was simple and moved quickly, and service was prompt and food came out quickly. We ordered both the standard pork XLB and my faves, the pork and crab ones, as well as pan fried pork dumplings which I was surprised to discover were also full of soup, chicken corn dumplings, and two noodle dishes: rice cake with pork & mustard greens, and pan fried noodles with beef. Servers were conscientious about allergies and very specific about letting us know which items were which, but other than that were largely appropriately hands off. They did ask us, mid-meal, if it would be ok if a service dog were at the next table to ours, which I thought was courteous. (The service dog was adorable and well behaved.) All the food was fab, which we expected. It's nice to come in a group and be able to order more items for a greater variety. The rookies executed well (and thanked us for the instructions on how to eat XLB to avoid getting soup everywhere) and were pleasantly surprised by my longtime favorite, the rice cake and mustard greens. I'll need to remember that the pan fried pork dumplings also have soup, because I really liked the texture of them. Such good food, and as always, better shared with friends.

Our other two dishes merit maybe four stars. I had high hopes for prawns with black bean sauce and minced pork, but there was little pork and the dish was under-seasoned. Beaten egg white, a component of the sauce, was almost raw and when separated from the black beans, runny and unappealing. When I inquired about 'vegetarian delight,' our server suggested creating our own dish. Four sautéed vegetables for $16. I went with bok choy, broccoli, mushrooms and fried tofu. I asked for a flavorful sauce. I believe we got garlic, but it was too subtle, not garlicky enough.. Service is on-the-ball. Ambience is lovely. And Saturday night, hours before the dreaded snowstorm, the restaurant was busy. Reservations recommended.

If you have the chance to sit with other patrons at a large round table, just do it, especially if the other people at the table are Chinese. You can learn a lot and have a fun time. Of course you have to order the pork soup dumplings. They are the best that we've ever eaten. Served piping hot, you get 8 dumplings per serving. Put the dumpling on your spoon and make sure to poke a hole in the dumpling to let out some soup before you bite into it. Otherwise the soup will spray out into your face! My husband and I shared the chicken with black mushrooms and bamboo shoots (#71) and the vegetable lo mien. Both were served piping hot and were delicious. The rest rooms are downstairs, which may be a problem for some people, but the stairs are well-lit with handrails on both sides. The restrooms are modern and bright, but could use a good deep cleaning. I suspect that doesn't happen often enough because this restaurant is always very busy. We've eaten at other restaurants in Chinatown, but Joe's Shanghai is our favorite.
