I tried this restaurant today and I am afraid it confirmed the generally low opinion expressed thus far. I ordered the Shanghainese steam dumplings, and the meat was chewy (not in a nice way). I also had their tom yum gai, and the soup was actually sweet – felt like someone spilled sugar in the kitchen. I a guy who usually finishes whatever is in front of him, and I couldn’t this time. Although the service was very attentive and in some ways better than some really nice restaurants I have been to, the bad cooking trump it all.

I am going to have to comment more than usual. I will try and help out fellow lunchers. I have been there a few times. But somehow ordering out is cheaper than eating in. I don’t get it either?? But as far as the food goes, I think the have pretty good beef with brocoli and chicken with string beans. As far as either of those combinations go in either direction, they were both good. And not to mention there portions were very nice on the takeout as well. Eating in….. NOT RECOMMENDED!!

The guy in the foreground looks mad that you took his picture. The pad see “ew” looks blucky.

Ordered in a couple times to the office excercising a very different strategy. I try things that sound like they don’t belong on a generic Chinese menu hoping they might be some hidden authentic concessions to authenticity. I really enjoyed the Winter Melon with Yunan Ham soup.

Your generic Chinese restaurant. They do have wonton noodle soup, but you might as well go to Hing Won. Or you could just walk a little further to Katsuhama for a pricier lunch.

Are those spring rolls I see on the General Tso’s and Thai noodle dish? Must not even be worth mentioning…

I would blame the oil they use if you can’t get through an entire entree.

Is that a vessel made of glass just out of frame in the Three Dreaded Meat pic?

What is that strange fabric atop the tables?

Are those utensils made of some sort of metal?

Sorry, I thought I was on Midtown Lunch.
