    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!

    Our meal!

    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!

    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.

    Chicken with eggplant

    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.

    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.

    General Tao's chicken

    Excellent food and excellent service. My son got the sweet and sour chicken and I got the general tso both dishes were so amazing. Also got the hot and sour soup and crab ragoons,. Excellent food a must try.

    Got food poisoning from this restaurant on my last day in NY. Ordered the filet mignon, string bean chicken, a shrimp dish, chicken chow mein and white rice, of course. Nothing was memorable. Except for the "filet mignon" because it did NOT taste like filet mignon, it was like a ball of meat that was too chewy to swallow. The shrimp dish did not taste good. My son and I are the only two who ate the shrimp dish. He ate 1 shrimp and it tasted off to him so he didn't have any more. I ate 5. Once I got back to the hotel, I felt like something was wrong. Within two hours I was hugging the toilet in my hotel room. Problem is, it was coming out both ends. I heaved and hoed for hours all night long. My son had instant diarrhea and was over his 1 shrimp transgression pretty quickly. I was sick all night. We had plans to get tickets to a Broadway show but sadly could not. The next morning, dehydrated and over tired from my sleepless night we trekked 1 mile to the train station with bags through the overcrowded streets. As you can imaging the numerous food truck smells and underground vent smells did me no good. It's been a month since we ate here and I think of this restaurant almost every time I eat out. What were the red flags? An empty restaurant, a waitress whose voice you could barely hear, and food that tasted bad.

    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.

    As the name implies, it really is an excellent dumpling house!…read more Me and my buddies were in Jersey and New York for some hockey games, and wanted to go to a deli, get some Chinese food, and a slice of pizza. 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.

I missed a call and literally two minutes later the call came through again and the woman yelled at me - "hurry up hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!" said the driver was waiting 10-15 minutes for me, which was simply untrue - I got a call literally two minutes before- just rude. Added a screenshot in case the owner doubles down that it was 15 mins. Guess the first call was from the delivery driver, and the second was from the restaurant itself. ‍ But the really disappointing part is that they didn't pack any soup separate from the noodles! - So my chicken dumpling noodle soup basically had no soup - don't know if they forgot it or if it was absorbed by the noodles but most restaurants at this point know to pack the broth and the noodles separately,- so I ended up having to add some of my own vegetable broth, which totally was not the flavor I was hoping for. So - love the food, but delivery service leaves a lot to be desired - next time I'll try giving instructions to pack the soup separate from the noodles and see if that helps!

    Dinner for one at Buddakan turned into one of those rare experiences where the setting is nearly as…read morememorable as the food. 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!
