The hubby, baby and I dined here on our first night in the city and chose this place based on the reviews and short distance from our hotel. We ordered the scallion pancakes which were great and the walnut prawns were alright. It was more like sweet and sour prawns alongside candied walnuts. Dessert was complimentary and we got some fresh fruit (slice of orange and two slices of melons) and the standard fortune cookies. Overall, it's decent Chinese. If we ever return, perhaps we'll try what they're better known for- Shanghainese cuisine.
Kids note: No high chairs at this restaurant but there was enough space for our baby to sit next to us in her stroller.

If you want some authentic Chinese food, I would recommend coming here. It was so delicious and the portions are huge!
I did not know what to expect on Christmas Eve. I was pleasantly surprised. The wait staff was very accommodating and the food was good (except for the Ma Po tofu, which had absolutely zero flavor; I think the wait staff got confused when everyone at the table kept asking for non-spicy food). The cold noodles were good, and the vegetable dumplings very good. The chicken and broccoli was solid, as was the sauteed tofu with mixed vegetables. That said, nothing blew me away; none of the food was great or truly memorable, it was only decent.
Overall the service was four stars and the food three stars. I am being generous and giving this four stars due to good and friendly service that was accomodating to our large group on Christmas Eve.
Came here with SO's family. Seems overpriced for what it is and is standard Chinese fair with upscale waiter service. We weren't blown away by any of the dishes, from the cold jellyfish platter to sea cucumber to dumplings to fish course, or anything in between. Dessert was alright too, nothing memorable or special. I probably would not come back considering all the other food choices in New York City. Staff was pleasant and courteous.
The wifey and I ate here when I was in town for work. We started with the scallion pancake and followed it with sweet and sour prawns. The scallion pancake was delicious but the prawn dish was just ok.
We only came here because it was close to the hotel. We did not take much time in thinking before ordering. I would honestly try it again. The service was quick. The scallion pancake was SOOOO good.
Not bad. I gave the old stand-by General Tso's a try. The chicken was bottom of the bucket meat like you would get at any $5 Chinese takeout place. But it was well prepared and the seasoning was flavorful. I think the thing that I found most interesting was the artfully served pre-packaged fortune cookie. Almost a gag bit at the end where you have this little art plate of a closer but it's just a prepackaged old fortune cookie you can buy 100 to a box of at the nearest $1 store.
UPDATE: Had to update my review as I wound up having a lot of gastrointestinal distress the evening after eating here. Really have to question the sanitation efforts in the kitchen.
All the food was pretty good. Just standard chinese fare. Can't really think of any dish that really stood out in my mind but it was a decent meal overall.
It was not easy to find Tang after address. It tucked in between 51 W 55 and 75 W 55. I had to ask a few times and walked around with my Yelp map.
Our table was far end a round one. We ordered quite a few dishes. I liked spicy one, jelly fish and tofu and others. My Cabernet was excellent. Service was pretty friendly. Overall a fancy Chinese food place in Manhattan. I liked it.
