It's a little hard to give a Chinese place four stars but this place was impressive. Modern decor, lots of white, a few tables in front of the bar and a lot more seating in the back.
Service was professional, food came out quickly. I had the Kung Pao chicken which was fine.
Worth a try if you are in the area.
I absolutely love this Chinese restaurant! I would definitely go out of my way to eat here.
We took advantage of the Yelp offer for a free appetizer….pork dumplings in a spicy sauce. Wow it is out of this world. The bite sized tender pork dumplings seem sweet at first but then the heat hits ya right in the face!
Our waitress suggested another appetizer to us so we tried it. The crystal shrimp dumplings were also a hit. Normally these types of dumplings have very little shrimp in them. Uncle Ted's does not skimp on the shrimp! Taking a bite into the steamed dumplings you taste the big chunks of shrimp. We were told this was a popular appetizer and now I see why.
Luckily for us the table next to us had already ordered and received their food. They each ordered a separate dish for the entree. I do NOT recommend this. They give you sooooooo much food..enough to split it in my opinion. So we did that. On this occasion we ordered chicken and broccoli and asked for it to be made spicy. On another time we ordered sesame chicken. Everything was delicious.
We finished our food but still had our wine to drink. The owner came to our table and told us to take our time and enjoy our drinks.
Definitely come here!
Really enjoyed my dinner at uncle teds. The boyfriend I came in around 9 on a Saturday night, no wait which was nice. Started off with a glass of wine and the ginseng tini. The tini was refreshing with lychee fruit garnish.
We hadnt eaten much all day so went a little crazy on the food, don't judge. We started off with some apps- the free spicy pork dumplings (yelp checkin!) scallion pancakes and rock shrimp. Generous portions served hot and fresh. My bf loved the rock shrimp and the spicy mayo type sauce the shrimp was covered in.
For our meals we got an order of general tsos chicken, Hunan beef and veggie fried rice. This was probably the best general tsos chicken I've had in the city so far. My bf only orders that so trust that I've had quite a few general tsos. Also, the fried rice was super tasty and seasoned really well.
The service was spot on with water glasses kept full and fresh plates for apps and entrees. Plan to come back again or get some delivery.
I had been fighting off a craving for Thai for a while when my family decided to order delivery from here. I felt like I was committing a crime for ordering Pad Thai from a Chinese restaurant, but there it was on the menu calling my name. I had never eaten at Uncle Ted's before and wasn't sure what to expect. I certainly didn't expect a portion of Pad Thai so big I could only eat a third of it! And it was delicious too! The rest of my family really enjoyed their Chinese food, so I guess next time I'll have to get some of that.
The only bad thing was that the food was delivered half an hour late! We were all starving by the time the food finally got there.
This place had a strange vibe to me. The food was decent…kind of a mix of home made and Americanized. They offered a free appetizer for checking in which they honored, but they gave too much food. The portions of the lunch special was huge too, so only go if you are starving.
Overpriced Chinese take out served in a nice and modern restaurant. A couple of friends and I were looking to get some Schezuan Chinese food in the West Village. Uncle Ted's had a high rating on Yelp and was close to where we wanted to be.
Got an order of pork dumplings in chili sauce with my Yelp check in. They were good, but not very spicy. Also had the wonton soup. Basically the same dumplings, just in broth this time. For my entree, I got my favorite Schezuan dish, mapo tofu.
My mapo tofu tasted like hot and sour soup. It was not spicy at all, and there were no Schezuan peppers in it. I tried my friend's dishes, the schezuan beef noodle soup and the Singapore noodles. Both were equally bland. The food was filling and pretty cheap, but I won't be returning.
This was my first visit to the actual restaurant, after ordering take out a bunch of time. This is my go to take out place and the actual restaurant did not disappoint. Lunch specials are reasonably priced and the service is reasonably attentive and quick. Free dumplings for checking in was also nice.
Dinner prices seem a bit much, but so it goes.
A solid restaurant when you're craving some good ol' fashioned Americanized Chinese food.
I came here on Christmas day with my boyfriend and cousin – we were 45 mins late for our reservation but fortunately, a table just cleared as soon as we came in (it got pretty busy an hour later…around 5PM, so reservation might be wise). We ordered the following:
1. Scallion pancakes – good, but not outstanding
2. Pan Fried Beef Dumplings – delicious!!
3. Chicken with Garlic Sauce – pretty good, but not the best I ever had
4. Hunan Beef – very good! I liked that they didn't skimp out on the meat; beef was flavorful and fortunately not chewy!
5. Shrimp Fried Rice – surprisingly very delicious and had plenty of shrimp – for 3 people, it was more than enough rice!
The food was pretty plentiful for 3 people (we struggled to finish all the food at the end), but most definitely overpriced (Manhattan prices) – still, not a bad place to check out when you're craving some non-authentic Chinese food!
