    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    Shrimp Fried Rice- well cooked and savory.

We wandered over here after visiting the Empire State Building; it was only a five minute walk away! We went after watching the sunset, so around 8-ish, and were pleasantly surprised we didn't have to wait for a table. The atmosphere was bright and lively, but not too much to bring our seven-year-old. We ordered: PORK DUMPLINGS-- best thing we ordered. My. Goodness. The broth was perfectly seasoned and silky. Was always a little sad after the last bit of soup from each dumpling was slurped. ;) Meat inside was tender and flavorful and the wrapper wasn't too thin or thick. Just the right thickness to keep the soup inside until you were ready, but not so thick that it was too chewy or distracting from the contents. Also ordered, the SPICY BEEF DUMPLINGS as recommended by our server. They were yummy. Tasty soup and beef had a deeper flavor. Not too spicy. Next time, we will probably just order extra pork dumplings or try something new. We ordered the SCALLION PANCAKES. I prefer my scallion pancakes thinner. These were a lot like the thickness of a dense pita. Still enjoyed them-- still a nice texture that was both soft and crispy, perfectly greasy, and flavorful. CRISPY CHILI CHICKEN (or something like that) was good but nothing special. Had some heat but not too spicy. CUCUMBER SALAD-- was a nice cold addition to the meal. Loved the sesame oil, just wish there was more, as well as more flavor. We ended up pouring a little soy sauce on top and that helped. I thought it was nice to chase a bite of crispy chili chicken with a bite of cucumber. WHITE RICE-- we ordered three orders of rice that was perfectly prepared, but way too much for three adults. Not complaining, but each bowl would have probably been enough for two adults. Can't wait to return!

Our nits: one of the items we ordered got lost somehow, though they never admitted it; we had to keep asking for the item, and it finally came after we had finished all of our other items. There was no apology or offer to give us a discount for their misstep. Also, when we showed up for dinner there was a 30 minute wait and one had to stand in the hallway during that wait. Next time we'll swing by earlier to get the check-in code to find out how long the wait is in advance. The good news is that our first three items came out pretty quickly after ordering; and the place is very fast with the turnover.

Dish highlights include the shrimp and chive dumplings, beef chow fun, and my personal favorite, the stuffed eggplant. Other items were a little bland, like the turnip cakes and har gow, and the pan fried shrimp noodles were awkwardly plated and made them difficult to eat. I also wish they had rice noodle rolls, which I didnt see on the menu. Really what pushed it to 5 stars to me was the service. We came as a huge group of 20, with a baby and stroller in tow, and they handled everything without so much as a grimace, just an outpouring of helpfulness. They sat half our group at a round table and the other half at a rectangular long table and also helped us navigate dietary restrictions, asking specifically who in the group had those restrictions. The menu is labeled too, so you know which items are vegetarian or gluten free. At one point our helpful server noticed we hadn't really touched that awkwardly plated noodle dish and offered to replace it with another. We didn't take him up on that as I'd find that wasteful but I thought that was so attentive and earned them a generous tip. The space is nice looking, and the food came out very quickly. We also didn't break the bank, even with plenty of drink orders. Dao's is an easy recommendation, especially when you factor in how seamlessly they handled our chaos.

Soup terrible, didn't even resume after first few cornstarchy bites. Perhaps it's on me for not pretty in the correct things, but if the rest of the offerings are this awful, please just don't even offer them. So very disappointing.

The first time we ordered.. Wonton soup - 5 stars - we both loved the soup. The wonton skins were not thick and the meat was lightly flavored. Soup was light.. peppery. Beef tendon - 5 stars - delicious...lil spicy. The tendons were cooked so tender but they were so difficult to pick up with the chopsticks. $34 ..lil pricey for the amount but it's the city.. We got one white and one purple rice. Second visit.. Pork dumplings with chili oil - 3 stars - dumplings were okay, chili oil was good. Used the oil on other dishes.. we preferred the wonton soup. Lobster with ginger and scallions - 4 stars - Cantonese lobster dish that I've had countless of times. Ok. Mapo tofu - 4 stars - I don't care for tofu but L loved this dish.. even asked for a fork so he could pick up the tofu faster. Kung fu shrimp - 4 stars - fried shrimp in shell with a lot of chili peppers. Brought half of it home and added my own colossal shrimp to it and it was delicious. My shrimp was better but the chili peppers made them even more flavorful. My favorite dish was still the beef tendon and I should've ordered it again on my second visit but we wanted to try different things. Place was always packed but we never had to wait long for a table. Service was great. Refilled our waters and changed our plates when they noticed lobster shells were piling up. I didn't care for the cocktails much. Only tried one. Wasn't very strong.. too pricy for weak cocktails but they have other spirits available..

I won't point out any particular dish as being awful or exceptional, because that's the problem I have with this place overall. Nothing stands out in any sort of way. Everything here kind of just tastes the same, which bothers me because the flavor profile of these dishes should all be tasting vastly different. Most of the dishes carry this overwhelmingly strong oil taste, especially in their fried meats, that kind of just makes them all taste kind of mediocre. The typical Dim Sum dishes, while serviceable, just kind of feels rushed flavor wise with little care put into them, leading them to taste kind of like nothing. The only dish that I would actively order is their noodle, which carries a more distinct light yet rich flavor that complements their noodles, but even then I feel as though the meat and egg feel like afterthoughts in the dish that don't really add to it in any way. The last problem I have with this place is their sauce station, which though kind of them to offer quite a few sauces to add to your dim sum, is just a really messy and unsanitary area which threw off my meal. I wanted to like this place, given that I love eating dim sum, but this wasn't it for me.
