Standard place near nyu for cheap Chinese food. If I happen to be in the area I stop I'm for a small custom fried rice . You get one meat and one veggie and it's enough to make me feel Full for under $6.
I have only ordered delivery from this place, but I have never had a bad experience. I particularly like that they have Ma-Po Tofu – one of the only places in the EV on seamless that does. It's also pretty decent. The best part is that they are incredibly quick! Perfect for when you have a late night craving. Just tonight, I placed an order at 10:03 and it was at my door at 10:17 – they are at 14th St and I am on 3rd St. Very impressive!
This is really just a basic Chinese takeout place, but slightly branded with a cooler name.
The food is good and they offer brown rice, so I was pleased. General Tso's tofu did the trick. Quick service, and jump on the Bite wifi while you're here.
An awkward attempt to graft a Mongolian barbecue onto a grungy Chinese takeout place, Riceton proves that when it comes to American Chinese food, things really should be kept behind the curtain.
The counter at Riceton is made of glass, and shows a long list of ingredients, ranging from wilted lettuce to browning shrimp. These are the makings of freshly-made rice and noodle dishes, but having to pick them out one by one isn't terribly appetizing.
The inside of the restaurant painfully dated, with low, fluorescent lighting and countertops that seem to predate the place by one or two incarnations.
The fried noodles, once prepared, have a greasy, straight off the wok taste that can fill a certain craving, but I doubt that sober diners will be impressed. Everything about this place screams that it would be a better takeout experience, but this food is only passable hot.
For standard Chinese fare, Red House two doors down is significantly better. For noodle dishes, go to Republic.
I'd come here once before and made my own noodle dish. I typically don't like having to pick my own combination of ingredients (I'm not a chef to know what combines well together!), but felt as if it was probably healthier… hopefully.
Recently, I tried the King Pad Thai for dinner. In addition to the standard ingredients (egg,bean sprouts, tofu, scallion, and crushed peanuts) added the roast pork and chicken as my two meats and baby corn and broccoli as my two vegetables. I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome and the sizable portion (all for $7.99!).
Although I have my places for off the menu chinese food, I will definitely be back to experiment with other make-your-own dishes as a cheap alternative to cooking.
This place is really just a Chinese takeout place. They have tried to make it somewhat fusion by adding some Thai dishes and also having udon and teriyaki on the menu. There are three very small tables inside with stools, so it's more of a to-go place as well.
This place is very clean inside. It's obvious that the place had been renovated. Price-wise, they are pretty cheap and portions are generous. They offer rice (white or brown rice or fried rice) and noodle dishes (pad thai, udon, fried noodles) and just about all of them are $6 to $8.
The ingredients they use also appear to be pretty fresh. They actually have all the vegetables and add-ons on display at the counter behind glass. You can see them scoop out the stuff and put it into the dishes.
However, the Thai dishes are completely wrong. They lack the right spices, taste bland, and are not spicy enough. The pad thai is especially bad. Please avoid it! The Chinese takeout stuff on the other hand is above average.
I've finally found a good chinese place that delivers to the LES.
Solid food that is cheap and delivered quickly.
