    the entrance to the restaurant

    It's all about their BBQ chicken. How hard can it be though? its just salt and stuff, right? Part of why it's so good is how fresh it is. As the day goes by, they get busier and busier, busting out those medio pollos all night long... All night. That feeling of BBQ chicken skin sticking to my lips brings me back. And my fingers, yeahh. Takes more than a shower to get rid of that brown skin goop. I remember this bbq chicken place we brought in when I was a kid. I completely forgot about it until now. It took months to remember Mike's Firehouse Pizza with their sesame seed crust pizza; this is my new quest. I think it was some Seaford Harbor deli. I swear, my earliest memories are take-out. (It was Seaford Harbor Deli) This isn't a place I'd go out of my way for, but it's just fine if you find yourself on Junction Blvd walking impaired. Everybody gets the BBQ chicken. Everybody. When you find yourself here, broken, be happy you're alive and get a medio pollo.

    No joke, this is the only "Chinese food" that tastes like actual Chinese food. Like most Chinese take-outs, this place also has the green marble countertops, but it's the food that makes them stand out. They have your typical beef and broccoli, general tso's chicken, and wings and fries. However, their food is different (and better) because they don't freaking brown sauce everything they see. For example, I love their beef and broccoli - it has just enough sauce for flavor, but not too much that my rice is soaked in it. Also, I'm loving this new menu. Learning Spanish while I order Chinese food? Yes, please! Cailin's Recommendations - House Mei Fun: $6.95 (SO DELICIOUS - you won't regret it!! Shrimp, pork, chicken, and veggies with angel hair noodles) - Beef & Broccoli: $5.75 (again, not heavy with the brown sauce which is definitely what you're looking for) - BBQ Chicken: $3-8.25 - depends on size (because, duh) - Wonton Egg Drop Soup*: $2.30 (this is a real thing that they make: wontons in egg drop soup aka the best of both worlds) - Egg Drop Soup: $1.60 * I personally prefer the Egg Drop Soup without the wontons, but come on, where else can you at least try that?

    $6-7 dollars. enough for two meals.

    I walked in here around 8:30pm by myself on a weekday after work. This place is small, dirty and actually loud for such a small place. The Table was dirty, the chairs were almost falling apart. There is a TV there playing sport or news and often the programs are in Spanish. The workers in the back were obviously Chinese though. I ordered my food and it took surprisingly long for the food to come, given that I was the only customer in the store. It was a friend rice with 2 chicken wings. Those don't take that long. The price however is very cheap. Between $6-7 for the fried rice and chicken wings, that lasted me for two meals. If I'm looking for a quick bite and large in size, I'd come back to this place again. I just don't like how dirty the public area of the restaurant was.

    Cuisine: 6 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 4 Value: 7 I have not been here in a long time. Maybe because the prices are no longer considered cheap eats. Or maybe because my taste buds have evolved over the years. Or maybe it's just not as good as it used to be. The answer is maybe all three and somewhere in the middle. I have never came here, or any other Latino-Chinese restaurants in NYC, for service or decor, so let's set that aside. The value is still somewhat there, but the food did not hit that nostalgic note I was looking for. I wanted to get the Fried Pork Chops (Chuletas De Cerdo Frita), but our server suggested the "juicier" Broiled Pork Chops (Chuletas De Credo Asada) instead. Sorry to report, if that's juicy, then how dry is the fried pork chops? I shutter at the thought. It was also under seasoned. I substituted the House Fried Rice for my side at an $4.50 additional fee. It was just okay and not worth the upgrade. Boneless Crispy Fried Chicken (Chicharron De Pollo) was also a disappointment. The batter was more hard than crispy, but the idea that boneless dark meat isn't more juicy simply tells me that the chef over fried the pieces. It came with Fried sweet plantains, which could have been a but more ripe but not bad. I'm not sure how I feel about the Beef Stew (Carne Guisada), which had relatively tender meat, but the sauce was so weak and lacked any real flavor. The black beans and white rice that came with it was decent. What might bring me back to this restaurant sooner rather than later was the Shrimp Egg Foo Young (foo Young Con Camarones). I felt that the eggs were cooked extremely well, but the star of the show was that delicious brown sauce full of umami. Having this over white or fried rice made this meal much more acceptable. I'm not sure when I'll have another craving for this type of food. If I do, I'll definitely get the egg foo young again. However, the other dishes were misses for me, so maybe I'll try the Fried Pork Chops and Shredded Beef in Tomato SayceRopa Vieja.

    Whether you speak Spanish or Cantonese, the waiters here can help get you whatever dish your heart…read moredesires. It's amazing to step into this restaurant, it's like stepping into another world where anything is possible. I feel like home whenever I come here. My favorable dishes are the combo dishes because I can choose fried rice or noodles or French fries with a meat usually, Yummylicious to the core!

    Ambiance (5/5): A no frills Chinese diner. The tables are a little tight and homey…read more Service (5/5): Our waiter was awesome. It helps that we speak the language that we got a little more comedic interaction with him! He was a hoot and was helpful in providing us advice on the # of dishes and what to get. I'd say everything is authentic to the Shanghainese cuisine so I'm a little biased that I loved every dish! A fish dish was suggested but we opted for our usual favorites: Scallion Pancake -made fresh as you can tell from the crunch Soup dumplings - super fresh, delicious inside, plenty of soup, perfect ratio of skin to meat Chow Fun - classic, look at the heaping amount of beef portioned on top!! Beef pepper steak - chunks were very tender and full of flavor Pork buns - a lovely crunch on the bottom of the bun, soft bread and tons of flavor Shrimp with broccoli - large pieces of shrimp (I didn't try it so I'm not sure on the taste)

    Came here for my brother's birthday. At first it seemed nice, they put out a sign for him and we…read moregot a nice long table for my family. Then the server Bill, started acting like a used car salesman. He said he would give us a sake cause it was his birthday, but didn't tell us we were going to get charged for it. Also before my brother got there, he said that since it was his birthday, he would bring out a "banana boat" which was just 5 scoops of ice cream and some cut up banana. When we got the bill he not only charged us for both, but that banana boat was $30! When we asked about it, he argued with us saying that he didn't tell us the price of every single thing that we bought... very rude. We also tried to order two orders of regular soup dumplings and two orders of the truffle. He kept rushing our order, and then tried to change our order to four orders of the truffle. We weren't sure if we would like it yet, and kept pushing back but he wouldn't take no for an answer (that being said the truffle was good, but I'm definitely a purist and preferred the regular soup dumplings). We also ordered the kau fu but it was not good, and tasted too much of five spice. The cha cha mien was fine, but a bit small and a little bland. The rice cakes were good, but the rice cakes were not al dente enough for me. We also got the fried rice, which was fine, but nothing to write home about. Finally we got a fried tofu dish which was good and had a lot of tofu in it. Overall, this server ruined our experience. The food is fine, but there are other Shanghainese restaurants in the area and would visit those over this place.
