The wontons here used to be a half dozen for $2, but the prices are now around $4… how time flies.
Greasy spoon Chinese food in the area to replace ordering from the now closed Wok & Roll.
We'll have to try a number of dishes to see how it is!
This is a very friendly place! It's a take-out place, but has plenty of seating. The lighting was interesting given the shades of ever changing neon lighting.
Our food was pretty standard fare Chinese food and it was a great deal! It's all about $10.
1. Egg foo young: really delicious! Like a fantastic omelette.
2. Pepper steak: this was quite good. It wasn't over salted and the portions are great. This dish came with pork fried rice.
3. Hot and sour soup: really good actually! Not too spicy and ingredients tasted pretty fresh.
4. Wonton soup: three big wontons. Better than other take out places I've been to. Very good quality.
5. Chicken Lo mein: a little greasy but satisfying nonetheless.
6. Crispy noodles complimentary: standard crunchy noodles. A good lead in to he main meal.
Sodas were bonus!
It's Chinese take-out, it's not gourmet. If you can come to terms with that, then this is your place. This small joint is perfectly located if you work on the UES … and/or if you are a Hunter College student. More times than not, you won't get a seat here, unless you want to play "staring contest!" with the person who decides to sit right in front of you, at the same table. It can get a little awkward.
The place can get hectic, and the prices have certainly crept higher over the past few years, but it's one of the better take-out places around the area. Just be sure to be clear on what you want, and prepare to wait a while for your food, as they are always busy.
The last time I went, I got the boneless spareribs special, and I was pretty disappointed. That being said, I've usually had decent experiences with the lunch specials here (curry chicken, general tso's), so I'll give them another shot soon.
this place is just ok. It's just another cheap, greasy chinese take out place. And they are superfast with their deliverly. One time i got my order within like 7 minutes, and it was hot and fresh. Is it healthy? no, is it salty? yes, is it good? yes. This is the place I always order from when I am craving cheap, greasy chinese food.
If there was a scavenger hunt to find good Chinese takeout on the upper east side, you'll never cross it off your list. With Beijing wok, you can maybe get half a point. Portions were good and food was a little above bland. Great for last resort Chinese takeout. Upside: get a freebie at different price totals
Had to write a review. Been a loyal customer for my time in college. Whenever you wanna save money & eat something filling, go for Chinese food. Not the healthiest choice sometimes, but it'll make do.
Don't know why, but the General Tso's Chicken just tastes better here. Yes, I'm well aware of the sodium level & the fact that it's fried chicken that's stir-fried again to serve. Still, gotta eat my ABC food.
It's a typical take out place. Nothing special. Despite some bad reviews here and there about this place, the people are always busy. The locals know they're a solid establishment, and that's why business will always come through.
But to thank them for having pulled many students out of hunger, you'll be getting a 4 star from me. Biased, I know, but had to be done.
