    This is a fast casual Chinese restaurant. They have a handful of seating tables inside and it is very clean. The food leans more towards American Chinese takeout food, but it is a step above those places in terms of freshness and cleanliness. The best deal here is their $12.99 lunch special. You choose a dish with white rice or fried rice, and you get a free drink (water or can of soda). There were eight choices when I stopped by, which included General Tso's chicken, Mongolian beef, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Curry Chicken, and more. My friend and I were impressed with the huge portion sizes.

    I love dumpling first and for most. Entering you was welcome by the family and then seem to know everyone. So many options felt like a kids in the candy store. Everything was rich in flavor and flavorful. Thank you You dad could pick u up today Mason. Service was great

    Orange Chicken Over Rice
    Louis S.

    Chicken wasn't crunchy or fried at all, instead it was really soft. Just chewy and didn't enjoy it. Too expensive for poor quality food + a tip. I can find cheaper orange chicken that's a lot better.

    House Shrimp Pork Mushroom Dumpling
    Sophia Y.

    Stopped by for a quick lunch to-go. We ordered 8 pork and chives dumplings ($9.85), as well as 8 of the house shrimp, pork, and mushroom dumplings ($11.35), and both were delicious! They both tasted authentic, and we inhaled them in about 10 minutes. We got them steamed since it would be faster but the pan-fried looked amazing as well. The sauces were a perfect match- the soy sauce mixed with vinegar and a hint of sugar brought out the flavors, and the chili oil added just the right kick. Service was fast and efficient, with a true New York vibe. There was only one server answering phones, taking walk-in orders, and bagging up orders, which got pretty hectic during peak lunch time. At one point, we heard the server say on the phone, "Can you please not talk so slow. I'm very busy," which was such a classic New Yorker moment. If you're looking for quick service and delicious dumplings, this is the spot!

    Lunch special Mongolian beef
    Eve L.

    Food is okay, not terrible, they have a reasonably priced lunch special. Comes with an entree, rice, and a canned drink (not many diet drink choices). My beef is that there was a hair in the food and they didn't really care, they weren't blatantly rude, and they replaced it, but that's it. Not particularly friendly or accommodating.

    Dim Sum Palace..a must if in the city!
    Nicole D.

    The food was delicious, it was empty when we got there so we were a little concerned but we brought the crowd because it was packed by the time we left! The dumplings were delicious and in our party of 5 we shared just 3/4 items and it was great! We will definitely go back!

    Simple but effective
    Tim H.

    Quick and friendly service. You will walk right past the store if you don't pay attention. A variety of dim sum selections

    Orange chicken

    Emperor Dumplings was awful. We got these because they are fried. They only fried on 1 side, so the dumplings were gummy on 3 sides. I asked the cashier to have the cook fry dumplings on all sides but she blew me off. I would not go back. Other food- sesame and orange chicken was just ok. Best thing is it was hot and made fresh. I have had much better. I think Panda Express is even better.

    We were scouting restaurants for my daughter to eat while going to school in NY besides dorm food and we found this place, quite inexpensive and very tasty. We went on a weekday and it has lunch specials with drinks for $10. There is plenty of food for the price and it tasted excellent too. My daughter likes this place. It does have many dishes to choose from and we tried different dishes and they're all good. The lunch is packed very nicely and my daughter can eat lunch and dinner with the portions they give us. Quite an excellent place for students. The price is right, the food is good and plentiful, my daughter can't ask for more LOL and as parents, less dent to the bank.

    As the name implies, it really is an excellent dumpling house!…read more Me and my buddies were in Jersey and New York for some hockey games, and wanted to go to a deli, get some Chinese food, and a slice of pizza. Got off the E train and when we looked for Chinese food, this place popped up with good reviews and it was just a short walk from where we got off the train. My buddies ordered the special lunches and we also got two types of xlb's, beef chow fun, and some fried dumplings. The special lunches come with a little fried rice, cold garlic flavored noodle, choice of egg drop or hot and sour soup, and main side. My buddies all enjoyed their meals. The beef chow fun was also really good and beef was nice and tender. The xiao long baos were excellent and is comparable to any place in California like DTF. Nice and juicy and great with some ginger, soy sauce, and spicy chili. Friendly service and food comes out pretty quickly. Credit card is accepted. Bathroom was also very clean, which is sometimes rare in some Chinese restaurants I have been to. If you're looking for a good Chinese meal, stop here when you're in the Chelsea area.

I missed a call and literally two minutes later the call came through again and the woman yelled at me - "hurry up hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!" said the driver was waiting 10-15 minutes for me, which was simply untrue - I got a call literally two minutes before- just rude. Added a screenshot in case the owner doubles down that it was 15 mins. Guess the first call was from the delivery driver, and the second was from the restaurant itself. ‍ But the really disappointing part is that they didn't pack any soup separate from the noodles! - So my chicken dumpling noodle soup basically had no soup - don't know if they forgot it or if it was absorbed by the noodles but most restaurants at this point know to pack the broth and the noodles separately,- so I ended up having to add some of my own vegetable broth, which totally was not the flavor I was hoping for. So - love the food, but delivery service leaves a lot to be desired - next time I'll try giving instructions to pack the soup separate from the noodles and see if that helps!

Then we got a handful of apps - everyone else swore by all the ones they'd had - but I just tried the Salt & Pepper Shrimp and... sweet baby Jesus, this little plate had a wicked amount of flavor from every angle.  "Aggressively seasoned" might be an understatement.  Wild. Onto the mains and I ventured towards their Spicy Drunken Noodle (my go-to whenever I'm hitting a Thai restaurant on my home turf) and... yeah, you probably guessed it - incredible. Not the biggest portion but they made every single component sing with flavor. With so much going on - of course I needed to indulge with another drink (hey, I wasn't driving!). There were six of us, it came to about $100 a person... welcome to NYC. But we did get a wide selection of plates/food and those two drinks accounted for about $40 of my tab. (And you'll never see such a heavy wine pour at a restaurant... they filled the glass almost to the rim - which was not even something I'd do for myself when I'm home.) Definitely recommended.

Shared everything thank goodness…read more Started with the wok fried beef dumplings which were good on their own but had this fire ahh spicy honey mustard wow. Then the scallion pancakes which were crispy and airy paired with this very interesting sauce that was clear but tasted like sweet and sour sauce. For mains we got Kung Pao Chicken which was pretty delicious but my star of the show was the Crispy Beef. It was crispy asf and skinny too I didn't know you could make beef skinny like that. Sauce was super tasty and thick. On the side was broccoli which was fine and eggplant which was fine on its own and good with the chili sauce. Split the Fortune Cookie Red Velvet Cake which okay I thought there would be more creativity with adding fortune cookies somewhere in the cake but it was just a cake with fortune cookies on top. Also they put 2 when we had 4 people like lowkey they couldve just put 2 more on there but anyways the cake itself was pretty tasty so can't complain there.

The food is all over the place but the main theme is that everything is over-seasoned to please the crowd of people who all were gulping down colorful sugary cocktails with dinner while wearing athletic clothing. Peking duck (for 4-5) had great accompaniments (rare to actually get bao with it) but it was a lackluster portion of duck. Salt and pepper shrimp were offensively salted. Special "mignon" was great. The hand-pulled noodles *gasp* weren't hand pulled. "BBQ" chicken in the other noodles was very dry. Sea bass portion was very small. Scallion pancakes were good. Shrimp dumplings were the highlight. I recommend skipping this restaurant.
