    If you're looking for a great spot in Hell's Kitchen, The Corner Chinese Restaurant is a gem. It's super close to Broadway and Times Square but has a totally low-key, casual vibe. The authentic food is excellent, the veggies and noodles are delicious, and the portions are massive for the price. The waiter was also super friendly and helpful. They even have vegan options and a happy hour, which is awesome. I highly recommend dropping in! We did have moo shoo chicken and stir fy eggplant with green beans. It was more than enough for two people to split!

    This is one of my most favorite places to eat in Midtown! You can't get to Chinatown, don't worry. Stop here and it is all delicious! Make sure to get the Honey Walnut Shrimp, the roasted eggplant with its hint of spice, and the Beef Chow Fun. The gorgeous interiors will remind you of the Hulu series, interior Chinatown, I believe the writer is around the corner. Service is impeccable and if you can't make your way to Chinatown, honestly this is the best place in Midtown I've ever been to. I think of it all the time!

    Hot & Sour Soup

    Spicy and flavorful hot & sour soup Full bar Creative cocktails and desserts No outside seating, but a good amount of indoor seating. Large traditional menu. Big portions. Beef and broccoli and pineapple fried rice are go-tos

    Beautiful space on 9th Ave serving delicious chinese food. I like how the menu is a mix of authentic and americanized food. The staff was quick to seat us and was good about asking us questions. For dishes we went with a mix of the menu. The peking duck rolls were something unique I've never had before and had a pleasant taste to it. I liked the main dishes the most - the kung pao chicken had a good flavor and the fish was coated in a delicious sauce. For chinese food in NYC, I'd be back - especially with it being so close to Times Square!

    If you are looking for a pre-theater dinner and have a hankering for Chinese food, stop by The Corner, a lovely Chinese restaurant on 9th Avenue. Santiago, our waiter, was lovely and the food delicious. We had Moo Shoo Chicken and stir fry eggplant/green beans. Both very good and prices reasonable. Pleasant ambiance, good food, fair prices and lovely waitstaff!

    Chicken with eggplant
    Cindy H.

    So glad we looked on yelp for Asian food in the area and found this beautiful oasis. Lunch specials were $15 and included soup. Many choices available. I had chicken with eggplant and my husband had cashew chicken. Both were plentiful and delicious. Service was sufficient, could have been checked on a bit more but as I said sufficient.

    Just as our table, we also noticed others that they experienced that one plate gets to the table way before the other one, so one person is just hanging around there. But focusing on the food quality only, it's really good. Our server didn't speak well English and couldn't answer questions or provide recommendations, so the service wouldn't be great if her manager or lead server didn't jump in. The ambience is also what really made us like this place, considering the previously mentioned negatives. It's really cozy and comfortable with a great energy. Overall, food - really good, ambience - really good, service - not up to par.

    We visited the restaurant on New Years Day afternoon , it wasn't busy. I was surprised that the price of the dishes were pricey but then not surprised after seeing the portion of the food. The portion is a family portion so definitely worth the price. We tried the wonton soup, crispy baby tofu, crispy chicken wings, beef lo mein, beef Angel hair rice pasta, sautéed baby bok choy, beef with mushroom. They were all delicious, since it's a szechuan style, you can definitely taste that on crispy chicken wings. Crispy baby tofu, it was soft Japanese tofu (not my fav). Definitely good restaurant for family! A little suggestion will be having a different kind of music in the restaurant. It was kind of loud/bar/pop hip hop music and the noise from tv mixed all together, kind of kill the mood of the restaurant.

    Lo Mein & Rangoons

    Stopped in The Corner to grab a late night snack. It was about 20min to closing but there were still a few tables finishing up and the staff was polite and encouraged us to us to dine. The lychee martini was delicious and lo mein was a huge potion. There are a lot of options on the menu, so it was hard to just choose one but the quality was excellent and I would come back again.

    One of my close friends raved about this spot for a while now and she recommended I check it out at some point. I was off on a weekday and since I was in the area I decided to take advantage of their lunch special. I have to take a star away and give them four stars because #1) Their menu prices aren't updated online and #2) I didn't see anywhere online stating that they close at 3:30 pm and reopen again later. As far as their menu prices, their website still says they have a $12/$14/$16 lunch menu special but when you arrive this menu doesn't exist any longer. On their lunch menu everything is $14. As far as them closing at 3:30 pm for lunch and reopening later for dinner, this should be clear. I arrived around 3:10 pm and I was told they shut down at 3:30 pm, but I was still able to order and thankfully wasn't rushed. The young gentleman, Laurent, provided excellent customer service and was super friendly. I hope to get him again when I return. The food was absolutely DELISH!!! I ordered two lunch specials, one to eat there and another to take home, and I surely wasn't disappointed. Very fresh and authentic Chinese cuisine with generous portions. I ordered the beef with broccoli and also the chicken with garlic sauce. Both were very tasty and the lunch specials come with a rice and a soup of your choice. The inside of this establishment is beautiful, clean and bright. As soon as I stepped in I felt like I was transported to China. I'm looking forward to returning and trying other dishes.

    Fantastic food, great service and ambiance. Good pricing. I got the Peking duck and the eggplant with green beans. The portions are large

    Chocolate trilogy

    The portions here are great and the Tyrese was a WONDERFUL host to us. We got the sweet and sour pork and the general tso's chicken. I look forward to coming back to try the ube cheese cake. The chocolate trilogy is really good.

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.

Then we got a handful of apps - everyone else swore by all the ones they'd had - but I just tried the Salt & Pepper Shrimp and... sweet baby Jesus, this little plate had a wicked amount of flavor from every angle.  "Aggressively seasoned" might be an understatement.  Wild. Onto the mains and I ventured towards their Spicy Drunken Noodle (my go-to whenever I'm hitting a Thai restaurant on my home turf) and... yeah, you probably guessed it - incredible. Not the biggest portion but they made every single component sing with flavor. With so much going on - of course I needed to indulge with another drink (hey, I wasn't driving!). There were six of us, it came to about $100 a person... welcome to NYC. But we did get a wide selection of plates/food and those two drinks accounted for about $40 of my tab. (And you'll never see such a heavy wine pour at a restaurant... they filled the glass almost to the rim - which was not even something I'd do for myself when I'm home.) Definitely recommended.
