Pretty chill place. Besides the dark ambiance, the music was not loud at all.

Service was very good from our waitress. We were unfortunately too full when we came and just wanted a place to drink so we only had an order of the ramen with egg and an order of the dried fish with nuts. Both tasted just ok. The dried nuts that came with the dried fish tasted like those Planters choice nuts that were low quality.

Overall, not a bad place. Just a lot chiller than expected when me and hubby wanted something a bit more exciting.

Came here for for an early dinner on a weekend night and had no issues getting a table. We got the sushi combo with the three rolls and it was pretty good. The fish was very fresh. Our family ordered the salmon teriyaki and liked it as well. Price is very steep however. Overall a decent spot

This place has been around the upper east side for a very long time and it never disappoints! It's definitely pricier than other Chinese places in the area but they serve higher quality food that is less greasy, less sweet, and less salty. They also serve dim sum all day. With all that being said, some of their dishes are still catered to the western palate but it is still better than other places in the area.

Here are some of my favorite items from them

Fried egg rolls. Their egg rolls are legit. It's giant, filling and crispy.

Hot and sour soup. Very good and filling. Perfect for colder days.

Walnut prawns. Very big prawns that are flavored in this nice sweet and savory white sauce with fried walnuts.

Sautéed pea shoot. Very good while getting your fibers in.

Shrimp with black bean sauce and mined pork. Very good and flavorful.

Turnip cakes. Delicious and crispy.

Chives and shrimp patty. Lots of flavor.

They also have lots of gluten free options here. Service is always top notch. Overall a solid spot on the UES

Ordered this place via Uber Eats and was surprised by how good the spicy dry pot was! Had the dry pot with two portions of fish, beef, Chinese cabbage, wooden ear mushrooms, and the tofu skin. Had it at median spicy and it was so good! Full of flavor, spice, grease and that numbness mala dry pot should have. Yum! The portion was also generous. And lasted us for a while!

Also ordered the spicy fish fillet from their lunch special however that was your Americanized overly sweet dish that I typically don't enjoy.

The order came super quick, fresh and well packaged.

Overall I was very satisfied with their dry pot and can definitely see myself ordering more items from here!
