The restaurant had no redeeming qualities. The service was exceedingly slow. The Fried pork dumplings were passable but the sliced roast pork was tough and fatty. The chef special Fried rice was tasteless. The breaded Fried chicken was far from tender. We did not find any dish rewarding, paid the bill and left. We informed the hostess all that we noted here. She gave us a 10% discount which as far as I was concerned was little comfort and not solicited. Never again!

The food was great. The presentation was good. The quality of the specialty drinks was not consistent. I loved the salt and pepper eggplant!

The Peking duck needs 45mins to cook. But it totally worth the waiting. This is so far the most authentic Peking duck I have had in NY. Absolutely amazing! Service is very nice too!

Their food is delicious! We had some soups, appetizers, and entrees, but really everything is very fresh and good. This was my second time here. My only complaint is that the music is a bit loud.

Great place for a nice sit-down meal. Extremely good Chinese food; minimalist, modern ambience although we thought the music was just a little too loud; great price for the quality of food, portions and over all experience.
