Service was quick and good. Waitstaff was attentive, explanatory and patient with us since we were indecisive. Certain dishes lacked flavor (chicken feet, dumplings) but others were flavorful and a bit on the salty side. As you can see from the pictures, there were plenty of pages to the menu; the menu is also plastered as decor all over the restaurant.

I came on a Sunday for lunch with a group of 5 and we were seated right away. Their menu is pretty extensive, so I recommend trying their most popular/commonly ordered items. The portions are large, food came out quickly, and we were all full. The table favorites were the baked pork chop over rice, clams with salt and chili pepper, fried dough rice rolls, and pan fried noodles with beef. Sautéed pea shoots - sautéed with garlic, a great vegetable for the table Baked pork chop over rice - a HK cafe staple, really good and the pork chop is deep fried and boneless Sesame chicken - was okay, average Fried dough rice rolls - was surprised at the large portion, I expected it to just be 2 rolls but it was probably closer to 4 or 5? Dough was crispy and fresh Pan fried turnip cake - was okay, average Clams with salt and chili pepper - tasted similar to salt and pepper shrimp or squid, we liked the taste of the salted egg yolk Pan fried noodles with beef - large portion and had a good amount of everything. Well balanced and enjoyed this a lot Overall, food was well priced and we enjoyed this place. Not my FAVORITE cha chan tang (HK cafe) in NYC but still a solid spot

This is one of our go-to spots in Chinatown. I saw some recent reviews that were bad, but I don't agree with them. Like a lot of Chinatown places, this place has lots of different items on the menu, if you just stick to their high turnover items the quality is good. Our favorite item is the pan fried Japanese dumplings. I don't know that they are actually Japanese, but they are a shrimp and pork dumpling wrapped in a wonton wrapper and then pan fried. The dumplings are huge and delicious and served with sweet soy sauce. Probably our favorite dumplings in all of Chinatown. We usually also get the beef pan fried noodles and , string beans with minced pork or stir fried snow pea leaves. These are our go-to items. We really don't deviate from them too much. The beef chow fun is good, better than a lot of places, but probably a little less salty/oily than most people are used to. You aren't going to be blown away by the cleanliness or the service, but it's Chinatown. That's just par for the course. Food is solid, gotta try those dumplings if you come here. Best thing on their menu.
