Fried dumplings
John L.

Amongst the many Chinese restaurants in Manhattan, Evergreen is a good choice for Dim Sum or Classic Chinese, as they featured many regional selections. Everything we ordered came out in a timely fashion, and properly prepared. The inside dining area is quite large, especially for NYC. The staff was friendly, and service was prompt. However, they do cater to tour groups, and when they arrive, it can get very busy in an instant. But don't let that deter you, as their quality and pricing stands tall amongst the heavy competition.

Dimsum menu
Seby I.

It was almost 3 pm when I realized how famished I was attending Scentxplore. While in the queue on 38th Street waiting to enter the event, I had passed Evergreen on 38 and picked up a takeout menu. So here I came to have lunch. As none of the lunch specials appealed to me I decided to have dimsum. Steamed shrimp dumplings are always welcomed in my book and Chicken and Pork Sticky Rice would fill me up. Evergreen on 38 is a largish restaurant with an entrance that has a bar and potted plants. The large dining room has many tables and a brightly lit Christmas tree greeted guests. The two dimsum came and I started eating. There were two bundles of the sticky rice which was nice. As it's quite filling I took one home. Both cash and cards are accepted. I paid a total of $15 for lunch which included a tip. Service was quiet and fine.

How do I even begin? This place is absolutely beautiful and welcoming from the moment you walk in. You're immediately embraced by the atmosphere, and the environment naturally leads you to your table. The food is outstanding--full of flavor and beautifully prepared--and the staff is attentive and genuinely caring. I love the concept of enjoying traditional Chinese dishes paired with such warm, heartfelt hospitality. Some of my favorite dishes were the pepper steak, chicken and broccoli, fried rice, and the dumplings. Honestly, everything on the menu is delicious--you truly can't go wrong with anything you order. I give this place a full five stars . Whether you're going with family, on a date, for a corporate dinner, or even dining solo, you'll have a great experience.- Tony!

Tree-ears appetizer was on a cold appetizer list. Supposed to have health benefits.

Evergreen on 38 is one of my family's favorite restaurants. The sauce is not overpowering. This time three of us ordered Fish filet with bokchoy, Dry string beans, beef noodle soup, chicken fried rice, turnip cakes. They added many dim-sum. Try more authentic Chinese dishes and desserts. The ambiance and service were top notch. Yum!

10/30/23: Afterwork dinner and drinks. Wasn't crowded seated immediately. Waitstaff wasn't the warmest but he got the job done. Pretty decent cosmopolitan. As we weren't overly hungry we shared a few plates. Basically overpriced Chinese food. For the price wouldn't mind too much but for the meals not served with rice...hmmm. Appetizers: scallion pancakes a bit greasy and very thin. Can we talk about the soup dumplings. Actually first time trying and they were yummy. Shrimp and broccoli was good nice portions. Also opted for the shrimp fried rice. All in all decent dine. Reservations made via Seated, love the seated dollars earned. Download seated app use code michelle1454.

Grand Marnier Jumbo Shrimp
Cee E.

I came here for takeout last week and I had a really pleasant experience. I came mid-afternoon so it was too late to take advantage of their lunch specials menu, but the regular prices weren't too bad. I ordered the Grand Marnier shrimp as well as the Kung Pao chicken. Grand marnier shrimp is one of those entrees that not all Chinese restaurants offer and it happens to be one of my favorite meals. I specifically chose this restaurant with the intent of ordering this.The kung pao chicken was more an after thought, but I'm glad I tried both. The order took about 15-20 minutes to prepare and the person who took my order was really nice. He confirmed whether I wanted white or brown rice with my order and was kind enough to throw in a soda on the house. The entrees were packed neatly and came in sturdy plastic containers. I tried the grand marnier shrimp first and saved the kung Pao chicken for the next day. The grand marnier shrimp came with about 7-8 jump shrimp and broccoli on the side. The shrimp were not overly battered but nicely crispy. The sauce had a nice flavor but was there was a little bit too much of it. I wish they would have gone a little lighter on the sauce, but I still really enjoyed it and I thought the portion size was generous. The Kung Pao chicken dish was pretty vegetable heavy but there was also a decent amount of chicken. The chicken was savory and not overly spicy since it was easy to pick out the peppers. The meal was a little greasy but not too much. I probably liked the shrimp just a bit more but I would definitely come back to try more!

Service is great here. We tried and shared a variety of things and I'm glad that we did. We had a vegetable spring roll, vegetable dumplings and fried chicken dumplings. For our main course we ordered Chicken Fried Rice, General Tso's Chicken and Beef w/ Broccoli. I loved the Beef w/ Broccoli. It was my favorite of everything that I tried. The broccoli was crisp and the beef was very tender. Great seasoning too. The chicken fried rice was also very good.

Dumpling, duck and soup dumpling sauces
Nicole P.

Delish food, great service, great price point on entrees and appetizers. Anything under $150 for a party of 5 in NYC is a great deal. Dim Sum, Soup Dumplings, spring rolls, entrees were all great. 5/5 recommend

Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday on an early Saturday night. Have never eaten here and am surprised at how massive the place is. The birthday friend took the lead on ordering, plenty of choices for everyone including my vegan friends. Food was delicious and service was good. Will definitely come back here again - my fave was the crispy dry pot chicken.

On a trip to NYC w our high schoolers on a class trip. Accommodated 30+ very well. Very spacious in back of restaurant. Nice decor yet comfortable, casual. Food was wonderful. They were very accommodating with my beef and pork allergy! Excellent authentic Chinese at a decent price.

They charged mandatory tips
Smeeth W.

They increased lunch special prices and the foods are good and authentic. However, they charge mandatory tips and also expect you to add additional tips which is so unethical

I had to make the stank face after trying the chili oil and accompanying flavors, it's like a soft tangy and spicy flavor that is incredible, definitely house made. The tea was a rose sweet green tea, tastes great- the teapot was heavy which I loved The citrus bloom drink was presented spectacularly, the glass and the dried yellow flower on top was a great addition. It tastes like citrus with only a hint of alcohol The mapo tofu is awesome, I had it without beef but it's soft and has that mouth numbing you get from Sichuan. It's probably the most tingling I've gotten, my whole mouth and lips Absolutely beautiful aesthetic, there is peaceful string music playing the whole time and the entire place is decorated stunningly The service was amazing, the server told me how they make the appetizer as well as poured the cup of tea for me, other than that you normally order on the iPad which makes things very easy. You are able to add order notes for restrictions, and they also came and double checked if I was good with beef in the Mapo Tofu.

I did not expect to find a sit down Cantonese & Sichuan Restaurant in the heart of Herald Square…read more For sure a hidden gem worth trying. Came here with two other friends for dinner and we pigged out. We started off with Scallion Pancake with Shredded Duck ($15), which tasted amazing. The pancake was flaky and not overly soaked in oil, while the duck meat enhanced the taste. I think everything should order this for the table. We also got the Dan Dan Noodles w Minced Pork ($8), which is a staple dish in Sichuan cuisine. Make sure you stir the bowl to mix the sauce and minced pork. For veggies, we got the Sautéed Green Beans With Eggplant ($18), which tasted great. I usually get sautéed pea shoots for a veggie dish, but this was worth ordering as the eggplant tasted great along with the green beans. For entrees, we got the Spicy Green Pepper Fish Filet ($28 for filet). A classic Cantonese dish that comes with bok choy, so it turns out I didn't really need to order a veggie dish. Delicious. We also tried the OOHU Mao Xue Wang ($34), which may be one of the most spiciest dish available on the menu. This dish combines blood curd from a duck, tripe, and chicken gizzards along with other organs into a simmered broth containing chilis and peppercorns. They also use spam, vermicelli noodles, mushroom, and other things. If you're adventurous and you like spicy, I would recommend this. Best eaten with a cup of rice. Service is great as our server made good recommends and was overall friendly. They also have a party room you can book, which sounded pretty affordable. Don't recall what their minimum spend was, but it was super reasonable compared to a lot of other spots in Chinatown and Flushing.

I came here for a large dinner party where we got seated in the private room in the back. The space…read morefits three large tables although we only used two. We ordered multiple dishes which came out one after the other. Some of the standouts for me were the Pork Intestine Dry Pot ($20.95), Crispy Tofu with Salty Egg Yolk ($23.95), and Sauteed String Beans ($16.95). Many spicy food options since this is a Szechuan spot afterall. Some dishes were a bit too salty and spicy, which they did discount after we brought it to their attention. Overall, decent spot and good for large groups. Otherwise, I didn't find this spot to be too memorable (not bad, not great).

It was also a bit loud. The service was great, with waiters very quickly bringing us our food and refilling our water. We tried the pork dumplings in chili oil, the tea smoked duck with sticky rice, fragrant fish fillet, and sauteed spring beans. The pork dumplings in chili oil were my favorite, despite the sauce not really tasting anything like chili oil. It tasted more like peking duck sauce. The entrees were good, but didn't really stand out much to me. We were expecting duck with a bowl of sticky rice on the side, but were surprised to find sticky rice layered on top of duck. It was more sticky rice than duck, and came with some sort of sweet and sour sauce. The fragrant fish fillet was pretty mild in flavor, although the fish was cooked well. The sauteed green beans were pretty standard. All the dishes that were said to have one level of spice had no spice at all. The final bill came out to be around $40 per person after tip and tax, which I found expensive for what we got.

However once I was seated at the bar, the fragrant scent of cooking food quickly dispelled the smell. The food itself was quite tasty. Two of the dim sum were first for me (edamame dumpling and a seasoned rice shumai). They all had wonderful distinctive flavors. However I felt the prices were a little large and awkward to eat. The price seemed reasonable to me for the service, ambiance, and food. However I couldn't give them 4 stars because I just can't get behind paying for white rice with an entree at an Asian restaurant.
