This is for all my times I've come here and never got the chance to leave a review. Well if you grew up around this area you should now this place and johnny as your parents brought you here during adolescence for the occasional sunday dinner.Whenever I come on my own I always order the chicken and broccoli combination platter because it never disappoint when I come here. The fried rice is hands down the best I've had from several Chinese food establishment i have, not too burnt as I've with others, good in taste, appropriate portions of pork for fried rice and with the wonton soup, this lunch setup seals the deal. The portion for the food far exceeds expectations. Expect to leave full. The soup is great as it not only have dumplings, but shred pork/beef for filling. What matters to me is good food and service, if yu treat me right and courteous then our business will continue, and this is the case for this place =,)
Decent restaurant. Pretty good food.
When I passed by the restaurant, and saw their exterior, I hesitated a tad bit on whether or not I should give it a try. But I was craving for some Chinese food, so I thought, eh, how bad can it be? And to my astonishment, it wasn't bad at all!
The restaurant seemed pretty clean, the bathroom was clean, the prices were reasonable, and the food was pretty good!
I had some curry rice noodles (I don't quite remember the name of the order) but IT WAS SO FLAVORFUL! I can smell the curry the second they served it to me! I also had their sesame chicken… it was so good. Not soggy, not too sweet, not too salty. Everything was just right.
They had a sushi bar in the restaurant as well, which I thought was pretty cool; but I was way too full for sushi. But that's ok! Because I'm sure I'd be eating there again.
I am a little biased…I've been eating here since I was in diapers. Great chinese place. I get my fix every time I come to Wahi to visit family.
The name I belive has changed, but same family owns it and I'm so happy that I can walk in and have a blast into my past.
What I love is that they didn't see me for 7 years. I came back and they totally recognized me. Like WTF! That's some chinese magic right there.
Solid fried rice with minimal peas and carrots, and nicely cooked bean sprouts. I know there are better options in Manhattan . DUH. BUT, these asian peeps have kept me coming for 30 years and nothing has changed.
I love their wonton soup, and butterfly beef. Fresh noodles in house too! Yum!
When I think of authentic and delicious fried rice this place always comes to mind. Having Ben raised in the area, I've partaken and enjoyed their cuisine since I was a child. The mere fact that they've been in the same location for over a dozen years is a testament to their loyal customer base and just how delicious their food is.
It wasn't until I moved out of the area that I realized how hard a Chino- Latino spot is to come by. From chuletas and platano maduros to pork fried rice and general tso chicken…. This venue makes it all. Some of my favorites:
Pork fried rice: with a generous amount of roasted pork, egg and tossed together with some soy sauce this rice is savory and on point.
Boneless chicken chunks (chicharrones de pollo): crispy garlicky chunks of chicken. A perfect portion of breading to white meat goodness. Delicioso.
Pork chops: thin and well seasoned. You get two of them per entree. They are so good you will find yourself to picking off every scrap from the bone.
BBQ Spare ribs: unless those fast food places, their meat isn't deep fried. Instead they marinate and pan fry thin large pieces in a specialty sauce. This sauce is more on the sweet side. Definitely none of that straight from the bottle here.
Not that we need another Chinese restaurant in Washington Heights, but I have to say that I'm glad this place has arrived. A little classier/nicer than Jade Garden, which is my normal go to Chinese place. The menu has some interesting items, and based on previous reviews I saw beef and broccoli lo mein. That peaked my interested, so I ended up ordering it and GOOD DECISION. If you want some delicious greasy Chinese food, this is the dish for you. Now they just need to make chicken and broccoli lo mein lol whoever complained that the broccoli was super mushy, must have been on a bad day because mine was perfectly cooked. The portions are huge. I got the smallest size and it has lasted me three days. Love it!
I ordered a basic sushi roll too. I am always looking for edible sushi in our neighborhood. It was just okay. Probably on quality with Sushi Yu 2, but the delivery sushi is a little more edible for your basic rolls compared to the one my roomie got once from SY2 that was a poisonous tuna. Overall, I like it this place and will be trying more things out.
