Who the hell is MaryAnne Marese ? Shill?

“fried chicken wings, seasoned to perfection, with their juices dripping down your throat.”

That sounds vile, I don’t want chicken wing juice dripping down my throat!! I think Wayne will have something to say about this.

If you’re in the neighborhood of Mosco St., and in need of quality food that won’t even make a dent in your wallet, stop by here. Their wings over rice is by far the best I’ve tasted in a long time. Everything on the menu has rich flavor. And they can spicin’ things up for you as well. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality AND quantity in their meal.

Finally, a restaurant that got it right, price wise as well as quality. This quaint little restaurant in the heart of Chinatown reminds you of your grandmother’s home style cooking. The food is plentiful and fresh, and the price is down right cheap. I had the cold sesame noodles with homemade peanut sauce, out of this world. And the scallion pancakes made with lots of scallions, light and not greasy, were just perfect. Now did I mention the fried chicken wings, seasoned to perfection, with their juices dripping down your throat. And as if this isn’t enough, they have specials of the day going on everyday to surprise you. What more can you ask for. This is one good restaurant where the quality, price, fast service, and quantity can’t be beaten. All I have to say now is, “Where have you been all my life”.

Had the pickled vegetables appetizer salad and scallion pancake there earlier today. Very good and honest food. The vegetables were more than a meal for in and of themselves, and at only $2.50, quite a bargain. A very refreshing treat during the hot summer months. The scallion pancake was very light, pan fried (not deep-fried), and not greasy. Served delicately, with a winning side of curry sauce, it invites the eater to sample the mains on the menu which feature the same curry. Yee Eng is a sincere little place that deserves to succeed; See for yourself and it may become one of your favorite hidden food spots in the city. By the way – the Air conditioning IS on, and Amy, the owner, is very friendly and welcoming – Worth the visit to Mosco Street for a great change of pace!

I think this was my friend’s pizza place last year. Mosco Pizza. How restaurant spots do change hands!

louis – that was the basil chicken which was better than the pad thai I thought. You have to get the pickled veggies there and the scallion pancake.. I think the appetizers were the best dishes

I ate here about a month or two ago with my son. We were heading to the dumpling house on Mosco (which I happened to like very much, thank you… 5 dumplings there are still $1) but it was closed. It was as delicious as described, and my little boy had his first scallion pancake.
