    2 combo (roast pork and duck)
    Angela P.

    Are you by Midtown East, want Chinese food (and not the "Americanized" Chinese food) but don't want to go to Chinatown. Well you are in luck! There is this little gem in midtown east that does the trick. When I saw that crispy roast pork belly, duck and roast pork, I felt like I was transported to a restaurant in Chinatown! We ordered: 2 combo ( duck and crispy pork belly) 2 combo (duck and roast pork) Wonton soup (ngl the wonton skin is a bit thicker than preferred but the filling is good. BUT don't just eat the filling that would be rude lol) I'm very happy that this gem exists outside of Chinatown. There are some Americanized Chinese food on the menu. But if they continue having my duck and crispy pork belly, I'm happy

    I was in the area and wanted some roasted meats for lunch. Did a search on Yelp and found this place. The restaurant is dark and looks a bit dingy (which is why I took my food to go). There were a handful of people getting lunch at that hour (around noon). The people that worked there were very nice. I ordered the roast pork and roast pig over rice. Came out to $14 which is more than what I'm used to paying (compared to Brooklyn). However, the meats were pretty flavorful and my craving was satisfied!

    Amazing food with strong flavors that leave strong impressions You can take out or order in and sit down. The cashier was happy to greet you and take your order, but did not rush you. Super friendly,would come back just to say hello Interior was clean and orderly. Was also pretty inviting to dine in so I did Takeaway notes: great food for it's price point and food that will leave you wanting to come back again

    House Special Fried Rice with Chicken Wings and Crab Meat Roll

    When you first walk in, there is a lot of yelling for the orders; chaotic and loud. The food was okay (nothing crazy to rave about but it did have some flavor); the crab stick, while simple, was pretty good though. HOWEVER, $19 for this is ridiculous when I could have gotten more for the same amount somewhere else. After eating my stomach was also upset, grumbling all afternoon (my friend who had also joined me to eat here informed me that he had to use the restroom after eating). Not worth the money.

    Roast Pork and Roast Duck over Rice. $12. Delicious.

    If you're looking for Cantonese pork, duck or chicken in midtown, the offerings aren't great. Meats are typically dry or overcooked, not to mention crazy expensive. Enter Hop Won. A no frills Cantonese BBQ joint that is the answer to my gastronomic cravings. Two meats over rice and cabbage for $13. I typically go with Roast Pig and Roast Duck over rice and its delicious. Don't let the far less than delightful interior deter you! It's worth it.

    Beef chow fun

    Stopped by this random Chinese takeout place near my work. Stepping in, it's one long corridor of tables and chairs and to the right is the ordering/kitchen. The combo dishes range around $12 which is decently priced for the neighborhood. I got the beef chow fun for $13 and honestly, it was pretty decent and wasn't stuck together. I won't say it's the best one I had but for a Chinese take out, it has good flavoring but I wish the beef was more sliced thin and more bean sprouts added. Based on today's visit, I would give it a high 3 stars and will visit again. UPDATE: I went back today Feb 20th and ordered chicken with broccoli combo with white rice. It came with an egg roll which was somewhat hard in some areas meaning they did not fry it completely. Also the chicken was in chunks and it goes back to what I said above earlier, they need to do a better job slicing their proteins as things should not come chunky. Based off two visits now, I will give this place 2 stars.

    It's your average NYC Chinese Takeout place except bigger and with plenty of seating. It looks like a very popular spot to grab lunch where you tell the counter what # you want from their Menu which is plainly displayed in front of you. Don't count on them getting your special requests done. They got mine wrong (I wanted brown rice instead of regular white). I guess can't blame them as it was the lunch rush still (it was 2pm when I was there)??? Still, for the price, anything you get here will have been cooked fresh for you and is worth it for being in Midtown Manhattan. I will definitely go to them again because the food is good and I can get it FAST.

    Roasted duck and chicken over rice. You can take out and eat it in a pocket park nearby. There are several lovely ones in the neighborhood.

    Amazing restaurant! My favorite in midtown. So cheap and authentic. And the owner lady is so nice. Roasted duck and roasted chicken over rice is only $13.

    This is one of the few, if not the only Chinatown-style Cantonese restaurant in midtown east. There's nothing fancy about this place, but it's spot on when it comes to what you'd expect to find if you walked into a random restaurant in Chinatown. Their most popular items are probably their roast meats over rice dishes. Pick from any combination of roast pork, soy sauce chicken, roast duck, or bbq pork served over rice and veggies. It's a hefty meal for less than $10. They also have plenty of other made to order Chinese dishes to choose from. Their wonton noodle soup and beef stew over rice are two of my favorites. It gets crowded by noon. So try to get there early if you're in a rush.

    Very close to my office so I decided to try it out one day. When you walk in, you can tell it is authentic because of all the meat hanging. The food was good, but nothing too spectacular in my opinion. Generous portion for the price though!

    Smaller container for 3 meat plate. Not even that good.
    Thomas L.

    It's been a few years since I worked in the area and ate here regularly, but the portion size and quality is slipping as of today's visit. Meats are lukewarm, not as flavorful and smaller portions now. I might as well save some money and go to Chinatown where I'll get a quality meal and larger portions for a better value overall. This will do in a pinch, but I won't be happy about it. I should've given the new Poké spot next door a shot..

Got off the E train and when we looked for Chinese food, this place popped up with good reviews and it was just a short walk from where we got off the train. My buddies ordered the special lunches and we also got two types of xlb's, beef chow fun, and some fried dumplings. The special lunches come with a little fried rice, cold garlic flavored noodle, choice of egg drop or hot and sour soup, and main side. My buddies all enjoyed their meals. The beef chow fun was also really good and beef was nice and tender. The xiao long baos were excellent and is comparable to any place in California like DTF. Nice and juicy and great with some ginger, soy sauce, and spicy chili. Friendly service and food comes out pretty quickly. Credit card is accepted. Bathroom was also very clean, which is sometimes rare in some Chinese restaurants I have been to. If you're looking for a good Chinese meal, stop here when you're in the Chelsea area.

    We started out in Chelsea, aiming for Chinatown. The bus was twenty minutes off. "Is it worth…read morewaiting?" I asked T. "We can go someplace else." "How 'bout there?" he responded pointing to Excellent Dumpling House. It was directly across the street. I pulled up Yelp, saw good reviews and readily agreed. At 3:30, the restaurant was empty. There were a few takeout orders, but we were the only people sitting down for late lunch. And y'know ... it was pretty good. Wonton soup is what I'd expect in Chinatown. Wonton wrappers were thin -- my preference -- the stuffing delicious and the broth flavorful. They were generous with the beef in our chow fun. Good, but the noodles needed a jolt. So I asked for soy sauce which was sort of a solution. Shrimp with vegetables was great. A lot of shrimp, too. There are lunchtime specials on weekdays, reasonable prices, and nice people work there. Next time it makes sense to try dumplings since it is, after all a dumpling house.

Located within the historic Chelsea Market building--a former Nabisco factory where Oreo cookies were first produced--the restaurant feels theatrical in the best possible way. The soaring ceilings, dramatic lighting, and energetic atmosphere create a sense of occasion from the moment you walk in. It feels less like simply going out to dinner and more like stepping into a beautifully staged production. I started with a Botanist Gin Martini with a twist, which paired wonderfully with the meal. The surprise star of the evening was the new Cucumber Tiger Salad. The balance of flavors was exceptional: bright acidity, a pleasant touch of heat, and just enough mint to make each bite feel fresh and exciting. Every so often the mint would come through and suddenly all the flavors would click together in a way that made me immediately want another bite. This is a dish I would happily order again. Next came the Edamame Dumplings. They were delicate and comforting, especially when enjoyed with the accompanying broth. The broth adds depth and richness that elevates the entire dish. My only suggestion would be the slightest touch more salt, perhaps even a finishing sprinkle of black volcanic salt for both flavor and presentation. I also found myself wishing there were a bit more of that delicious broth because it contributes so much to the overall experience. For my entrée, I ordered the Glazed Alaskan Black Cod, and it absolutely lived up to its reputation. The fish was rich, buttery, and perfectly prepared. What impressed me most was how thoughtfully the accompaniments were composed. The pickled cucumbers brought brightness, acidity, and crunch, while the black bean and eggplant relish delivered deep savory notes and unexpected complexity. I'm generally not an eggplant fan, but this relish was outstanding. The cucumbers and relish sit at opposite ends of the flavor spectrum, yet both somehow make the cod even better. Looking back, I think a glass of Sauvignon Blanc alongside the cod would have been the perfect pairing. I finished with the Miso Caramel Milk Bar, which was spectacular. Decadent, sweet, salty, and touched with just enough umami to keep every bite interesting. The chocolate crumble underneath added a wonderful crunch that contrasted beautifully with the creamy ice cream and luscious caramel sauce. Every component worked together perfectly, creating a dessert that was both indulgent and sophisticated. From start to finish, the meal felt polished, thoughtful, and memorable. Thank you!

I also tried the Blush cocktail which was similar to a lychee martini. I loved it and it was perfectly sweet.

Sauce was super tasty and thick. On the side was broccoli which was fine and eggplant which was fine on its own and good with the chili sauce.

Peking duck (for 4-5) had great accompaniments (rare to actually get bao with it) but it was a lackluster portion of duck. Salt and pepper shrimp were offensively salted. Special "mignon" was great. The hand-pulled noodles *gasp* weren't hand pulled. "BBQ" chicken in the other noodles was very dry. Sea bass portion was very small. Scallion pancakes were good. Shrimp dumplings were the highlight. I recommend skipping this restaurant.
