   Our food was mediocre, especially the orange beef, which was soggy and cloyingly sweet. Our server graciously took the charge off our bill, Which we appreciated, but we would not go back to this restaurant.

   1) the restaurant was way too quiet and it wasn't a bad vibe....it was NO VIBE. 2) we were a party of 4.....they sat us when first two arrived and brought over a "free" appetizer. It was cold when the other 2 people arrived. When we asked for another appetizer.....we were told "only one per table. 3) the waitress had ZERO personality........yes/no or we ran out of that. 4) there were several wait staff helping and the communication between them was non-existent. We had to tell them that "we already ordered another drink" 5) one of the items we ordered (pork buns) never showed up. 6) We would have been better off going for some cheap Chinese take out and eating in our car. I could have saved $180 and eaten food that was just as good. 7) the best dish? the beef fried rice. Everything else was bland and lacked any real flavor. 8) New York City has A LOT of restaurants.......I would be surprised if this restaurant still exists in 2021.

    Food was perfect! This place could be one of my top 3 Chinese restaurants easily. The only thing I think they could have done better is their service. The waiter made us feel unwelcome and it was a bit tough to order food from him.

    Heard a bit about this new restaurant but was underwhelmed by every aspect. The server made a major mistake involving a food allergy that we asked him about. Nothing amazing by any standards, there are lots of better choices even if the price is higher.

    Xu's has a great menu for sharing plates and trying various amazing dishes. We just ordered a bunch of different items and shared everything... and all the dishes were amazingly good. Waiters are friendly and helpful in helping to decide which dishes to order and how many. Will definitely come back to try out some more dishes.

    Food was very good but service was average. The waiter failed to inform us that the dish was sold out and he claimed he did when he did not. The environment was also good but they need to turn up the heat or something because whenever someone opened the door, it would feel very cold.

    The food is good, the environment is quiet. It is a great place to enjoy a small lunch. The steam egg cup w/ sea urchin is a little spicy because there is wasabi in it. Overall it was a good time 😀.

    Started with the host not able to find our Open Table Reservation. Was there with my son and his girlfriend who is a native NY’er. Restaurant does not have a liquor license for some odd reason, even though they have been open for a while and have a bar. Ordered the Ginseng chicken soup , Shrimp Dumpling, Pork Bun, Crab soup, Chicken Fried Rice, Orange Chicken, Stirfry Waygu. My son who loves Asian food found the Ginseng Soup to be less than appealing. The Crab soup was OK but lacked flavor. The Shrimp dumplings were tasteless. The Orange chicken was so so , had much better from much cheaper restaurants. The Stirfry Waygu had a few chunks of beef and a lot of onions, not worth the price . Never received the Chicken Fried rice, which we were waiting on to go with our food. Service was very slow and not what you would expect from a restaurant charging these prices. The waiter was pleasant but the fact that he did not even place our order for the Chicken Fried Rice and the blah taste of the food was enough to say that, we do not ever have to go back. My son’s GF said it was a big disappointment compared to other similar priced restaurants. We will go back to small hole in the wall Chinese restaurants. As my sons quote of the night...Take Out is better. Pained me to tip but did so anyway.

    Food are not as good as expected: very plain, no innovation, and lack of good and interesting flavor. It can only be called as an Asian Fusion restaurant, but not a good combination of the essence of good Asian cuisines. After eating there, we just feel full, but not content.

    The dining room is lovely. We appreciated that when we mentioned that the music was too loud for conversation, it was turned down. That alone is enough to motivate me to return. Quiet is such a rare quality in a New York restaurant. The food is good and interesting, if you enjoy subtle flavors as I do. The service was not up to the standard of the rest of the experience. Dishes were brought out willy-nilly, with no coordination, so sometimes one of us was left with no food for a long time while the rest were eating. The server was eager to please but hard to communicate with, partly because she spoke very softly and partly an apparent language barrier.

    Had to wait 15 mins for a table even though we had an early reservation. No liquor license. Major bummer. Did have some of the things we ordered after we ordered it. Service was extremely slow. Steak was subpar. Live in the neighborhood and likely not coming back.
