    Egg tofu vegetables stir-fried
    Patricia W.

    Dinner with my family two weeks ago, my sister-in-law recommended this place, she likes to try new restaurants in her neighborhood. It was a cold rainy mid-week night, it might be the reason people did in the area did. ot wsnt tondine out. The restaurant had a Chinese written only menu featured the chef's specialties, and a regular menu, but I saw many of the dishes were Taisan cuisines. Please see the photos what we ordered, they were all full of flavors, delicious, best to eat with rice. The service was attentive, prices were reasonable. We definitely could go there again.

    A great place for quick Chinese/Cantonese take out or a nice comfortable dine-in. Restaurant on 58 St is great for groups as well as people visiting alone. It's located at store away from the corner of 8th Avenue and 58th street. The staff is very kind and welcoming and enjoy taking the time to talk to guests to make sure everything is great. There are lunch options 11-4 and it comes with complimentary soup. I have been visiting Restaurant on 58 St for years, mainly for family gatherings. My favorite side is ging doh gwut which is pork chop w. peaking sauce on the menu. You could also ask for the sauce on the side as well if you don't like you pork chops drenched in sauce. I also really like the chow mei fun (Singaporean Style Spicy). The spicy flavor is very light and the noodles are well salted. They've slightly increased the prices over the years, but it's still an affordable place to get a delicious meal around 8th avenue. tl;dr - affordable and delicious. I recommend pork chop w. peaking sauce when eating family style and Chow Mei Fun (Singaporean Style Spicy) for a solo meal.

    The food there is so fudging good . I'm 16 now, in the picture i'm probably 5-6 idk lol. Aren't i just adorable? I'm going to 17 in May and I'm mad excited. I will be asking my parents if we can eat there for my 17th birthday. Words cannot express how much I love this place. It brings back so many memories. Especially because I literally used to live right across from it. I hope this restaurant never goes anywhere because I want to bring my kids here one day in the very far future. Awesome Cantonese Food‼

    Despite our waitor telling us the food would take some time to make since the chefs are taking lunch break, my husband and I decided to wait anyway. Why would you tell a customer that? You don't see alot of authentic Cantonese restaurants around the neighborhood anymore, but when you do, it's hidden on a side street right off 8th Avenue. Anyhow, we made it in time for their lunch special (ends 3PM) and ordered 3 dishes. Says it comes with a bowl of house soup and rice, did not get the soup but was offered unlimited rice, though I could only eat so much. For the huge portions, it is well worth $5.50 a plate. The flavors of the food were good, everything looked fresh. Will be back!

    Salt and pepper squid

    Small Chinese restaurant that serves Cantonese dishes and plenty of seafood near 8th Avenue in Brooklyn. Behind the storefront with an unordinary name is a small, tidy restaurant with delicious food. There aren't a lot of tables, but the tables are big and can accommodate groups of around 10. In the back is the kitchen and a few tanks with fish and crabs. Location/Parking: The restaurant is a few stores down from the more bustling 8th Avenue on 58th Street, so don't panic if you can't find the restaurant off the main thoroughfare. If you walk towards 7th Avenue, it'll be on the right side. Find street parking in the neighborhood. Ordering Experience: There's a Chinese and an English menu to order from. Wait time to get food after ordering is on par with similar Chinese restaurants. What I Tried: Beef Chow Haw Fun - This stir fried beef and rice noodle dish is a 4 star dish in my opinion. Beef could be more tender. Noodles taste as I'd expect. Stir Fried Vegetables - The vegetables were cooked with a large amount of stir fried garlic, which I appreciated. They were moderately oily and not too salty. Braised Oxtail - Apparently this is one of the restaurant's specialties. If you order this dish, it will take a while for it to come out. The meat was cooked satisfactorily - tender and went well with the sauce. Lotus root served in the dish also absorbed the sauce and was delicious. Salt and Pepper Squid - I really liked this dish. The squid pieces are big and they're very lightly breaded - less than I've had at other restaurants. As a result, the squid has good flavor and isn't overwhelmingly salty. Grab a bite with a sliced jalapeño pepper if you want to add some heat. Sauteed Grouper Filet "Country Style" - This was my favorite dish of the meal. The dish consists of soft, well seasoned, tender chunks of grouper (white fish) topped off with ground pork and finely cut string beans. I thought the dish had a lot of flavor. Although it was a bit greasy, I would definitely order it again. Verdict: Order the salt and pepper squid and the sautéed grouper if you like seafood. The other dishes I tried weren't bad either. The braised oxtail is worth trying if you're ordering it alongside other dishes, but I wouldn't order it individually when considering the added wait.

    General Tso and fried rice
    Linda P.

    Open late! That's a big bonus. This place makes the best general tso chicken and rice. Fried or white are both good choices. The chicken is clean and white meat, made with ginger flavor and fresh. The restaurant has a few big round tables and usually packed even late at night. Thumbs up for this restaurant. I'll be trying some of their other dishes soon. I've been here about 10 times, always consistently good.

    This is authentic Chinese restaurant from Canton, not like Chinese food for American. Charcoal Fillet steak is delicious, strongly recommend.

They even offered a complimentary bottle of wine and a few small appetizer dishes, which was a very nice touch. It's a seafood restaurant and seafood is clearly their specialty. They also have a live seafood market, so we were able to pick our own seafood. Everything was very fresh and delicious. Other dishes, the chicken was surprisingly tasty as well. Since it was a birthday celebration, we took our time and stayed a bit longer. Even though we ended up staying past their closing time, they didn't rush us to leave. We really appreciated that and had a wonderful time there.

The meal includes geoduck sashimi, jellyfish & mixed appetizer, soup, steamed fish, crab & lobster with sticky rice, abalone, steamed shrimp, noodles, and veggies. Some dishes were bigger than others. Both times I came they didn't have abalone so we substitute the dish for garlic scallop (which I prefer). The menu also says it comes with house special dessert but we never gotten any. For any seafood, it's market price plus they add a 30% processing fee, which is strange to me. For a Chinese restaurant which usually does not charge tax if you pay with cash, they charge tax here whether you pay by card or cash. The restaurant is pretty big and spacious. They have pretty large tables, suitable for parties and celebrations. There's a private space upstairs with 3 large tables for parties. The restaurant is pretty slow in the afternoon.

I'm talking grandma's-house-in-the-mainland type canto food like bitter melon, pork meat pie, fermented peppers, and braised pig's feet. It's the real deal and it's REAL GOOD. They also serve roast meat (chicken, duck, pork). They don't speak fluent English, so it will help if you know Mandarin/Cantonese OR keep your dialogue to a minimum by following the directions below. I highly recommend getting the combo with rice and 3 sides. To order, go up to the glass window (outside) and gesture that you want your food to-go or to eat-in. I usually get it to-go. The sides are displayed in the pans behind the glass. Choose 3 by pointing. My usual order is a meat pie, preserved peppers, and a vegetable. Then, go inside and pay (about $6.50 per combo). They will ask if you want a free soup...say yes because the soup is filled with MSG and is delicious. I can understand why people would be hesitant to come here due to concern for cleanliness, but all the good restaurants in Chinatown are dirty. I'll take my chances.

We went straight for their signature deep fried garlic chicken and decided to share the Peking duck--and both dishes were beautifully presented and packed with incredible flavor. The chicken, in particular, was crispy, aromatic, and absolutely delicious, though it's worth noting you'll want to be a bit careful as there are quite a few small bones throughout. The Peking duck was equally impressive, cooked perfectly with rich, satisfying taste in every bite. You can really tell the kitchen puts care into both quality and presentation. On top of the food, the staff were adorable and welcoming, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. The ambiance felt warm, lively, and comfortable--perfect for a relaxed meal in Chinatown. Overall, a fantastic dining experience with standout dishes and great energy. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

    Lunch while in the vicinity on a Wednesday afternoon for my professional duties. Business cards…read moreand takeout menu are both available for grabs. Uncle Lou is a Cantonese restaurant that also serve Dim Sum dishes. The business name reference Chinese culture of calling adults "uncle" (suk1 suk1, 叔叔) or "auntie" (aa3 ji4, 阿姨) is a polite, common way to show respect, build connection, and bridge generational gaps. It treats non-relatives like family, making strangers feel younger and fostering closeness. The atmospheric decor contains very beautiful Chinese lanterns suspended from the ceiling throughout the restaurant. I believe it is decorated for Lunar New Year throughout the entire year. No comment for facility as I did not utilize. Customer service is average attentive and the staff is fluent in both English and Cantonese. I did not have to wait long to be served nor request the bill, and neither attain change. I often dine alone as a single woman and was regarded with respect for patronizing. It is always good to hear Cantonese spoken as it is mellifluous... at long last to continue this vernacular of Chinese language. I ordered in a mixture of both English and Cantonese. I was promptly seated by the maître d' promptly for a table. Melamine/plastic chopsticks in neon green and ceramic / porcelain china including ceramic Chinese soup spoon are distributed to customers while dine-in. A traditional teapot is also distributed during the duration of meal like large banquet hall Dim Sum restaurants. The large round tables contain a rotating lazy susan in traditional Chinese restaurant standard. Wow. No disposable wooden chopsticks and no disposable bowls for utensils are distributed at Uncle Lou. Price is slightly high, but worth the food quality and customer service. Uncle Lou did surely feed me! Shrimp Wonton noodle soup, Ho fun (flat rice noodles), shrimp based broth, $14.95 The bowl is gargantuan and the six (6) dumplings are good size portion served in ceramic / porcelain china. There are Chinese vegetable of one strand choi sam (choy sum) and scallions. The shrimp Wonton dumplings are a good size and good consistency. The soup broth is solid for flavor and consistency. It was served piping hot as steam was visibly emitting. The soup broth was slightly heavy. The flat rice noodles were sufficient for quantity. Noodle soup is Chinese comfort food and warms the heart. It sustained my hunger pangs throughout the day. Upon arrival the wait staff prominently announce to inform customers of 9% discount for cash payment and a 3% additional surcharge or fees for any credit/debit card payment for situational awareness. I was informant and made fully aware twice: upon entry when seated and upon receiving the bill. Uncle Lou complies with "Prohibition of Cashless Establishments, as of March 21, 2026, all retail and food establishments in New York State, including New York City, must accept in-person cash payments, banning fully cashless stores." (source: Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA), Local Law 34 of 2020). Oh! For small amounts of purchases, my default payment method is cash. Yes, cash is still widely accepted in the 21st century. Nota Bene: Have cash on hand to avoid annoying surcharge or fees. The bill is calculated and manually handwritten the old school way still a timeless classic. I paid my bill in cash including gratuity. No comment for Apple Pay or Google Wallet (formerly Android Pay/Google Pay) either acceptance or price differential vs. cash.
