I called in my order for pick-up and the person on the other line had such a hard time understanding me … and likewise. In the end they didn't have just about everything I wanted to order, and just settled.
My food tasted dry and very mustardy — including the rice. The only thing I ended up eating was the salad, but not even with their salad dressing. With all these decent reviews I feel like I came at a bad time and I should give this place another shot … ehhhh, we'll see. =/
I think this is one of the only Chinese take out spot around here
Food here is so-so
It is cheap by manhattan standards at least, 7.50 for sweet and sour chicken, egg roll, and fried rice. The actual chicken was decent, but they gave me an entire tub of fluorescent red sweet and sour sauce which I'm going to say stank. I was also pretty sketched out when people came in and ordered fries which made me wonder if my combo was going to taste more like a happy meal. The egg roll strangely had a smoky aftertaste and the fried rice was ok, but the pork in it was dried out. I definitely have had better Chinese take-out in manhattan, and with so many choices, it'll just take some time to find one in Harlem.
Yet another Chinese-American take out joint. So think MASSIVE amounts of rice in an attempt to divert your attention from mediocre, nay, sub-par fake Chinese food.
Sorry, but I've tried most of the Yelper's recommendations (even Queenie's Lake Tung-Ting Shrimp) and also the classic go-to dishes (think Kung-Pao chicken) and a thumbs-down from me.
West Place is pretty untasty, and if I lived in the area, I would never order from here.
Not bad!
The weekday lunch special runs from 11:30am to 2pm. The line can be long and goes all the way outside the door. However, the staff are fast so the line moves quickly.
There are 4 or 5 tables inside so limited seating is available. However, it gets so loud, it is probably better for takeout.
They increased the weekday lunch special price from $6.25 to now $6.5. For $6.5, you choose from their ready-to-serve entrees by the glass window. You get to choose either white or fried rice, 3 entrees, and either soup (egg flower/wonton, etc) or soda. Alternatively, you can also choose from its menu and get white or fried rice, one entree, soup or soda for $6 during lunch hours. For weekend lunch special, you get one entree for $6.25. I think weekend lunch runs from 11am to 3pm but I am not entirely sure.
Don't really expect "services" from here although sometimes staff can be nice. It really depends. I give 4 stars for the speed and cheap price. The food taste not bad either.
This is not a place where you sit down and have a nice Chinese (or Americanized Chinese) meal. It is tailored towards students who need some cheap food. Not very family friendly because of the limited seats/tables.
Delivery is available and it is $7 minimum.
I think it is cash only so bring cash just in case. Plus, the rating is now "A" outside its window. Looks like they have made some improvements.
Five stars for being reliable and cheap, especially during their lunch special hours. Considering the dearth of places to eat around here, I think the typical variety of Chinese take out menu items really do struggling students a solid.
I guess the downside is that there's a credit card minimum, sometimes they take long to give your food (I've never ordered delivery so idk) and they're not open 24/7
But considering the fact that shitty Chinese take out is a staple of all students near and far, this place has a solid thumbs up in my book.
I've had worse. I mean, I did go to SUNY Albany for undergrad.
