    H3. Sesame Chicken
    Emma L.

    This was the best & crunchiest sesame chicken I've ever had. Ordered as a Mealpal pickup which also included their wonton soup. I'm really surprised there are so many bad reviews because this wasn't my experience at all. Really happy with this place & hope to be back.

    This was beyond awful!!! I am a New Yorker, no longer live there but we were visiting and "doing tourists things for the Non-New Yorkers" in the group. This was not your typical Chinese food. Egg rolls and chicken fried rice were awful. This was supposed to be chicken fried rice. It was literally white unseasoned chicken pieces in yellow rice. Over $68 for two entrees and egg rolls. If I can rate this a 0 I would!

    Beef and broccoli with lo mein

    Do not order from this place. Their menus change everyday. I ordered from a menu that stated $8.95. Upon calling, I was told it was actually 9.95 plus tax. I placed my order and told her to include the tip on the card. The delivery person was the rudest individual I have ever encountered. I have never seen such animosity towards a customer. He yelled for a tip in the lobby of my corporate building. I was told the tip was added when I spoke to the person placing my order. I gave him an additional tip so he would shut up. Nasty individual. Now as far as food goes, I could've made a better meal ! No Flavor, extremely greasy food. Buyer beware this place sucks !!!

    Free kimchi with our delivery!

    My friend and I are always shopping for good Chinese delivery. Taste kitchen is a two thumbs up. First of all, the lady taking my order was super nice and double checked my order and cc # before hanging up. Maybe it's just me but I've had pretty crazy convos where I would call, order and all they asked was for the address (while they speak 100 words per sec). I had to call back to give them my cc #. So compared to that, this place was awesome. Delivery didn't take long (sorry I didn't time them or anything or ask them for the estimated time). We ordered the egg drop soup, egg rolls, house special chow fun, pan fried noodles and pancakes. Maybe they added this because they just newly opened but we also got a $5 discount card for our next order, orange slices and a container of kimchi! All for free. I personally had the egg roll and chow fun. I enjoyed both! Egg roll is veggie so all you vegetarians, you're good! Chow fun could have had a little more flavor but it wasn't greasy as ones I've tried prior. So that's always a plus. Oh, I had the pancakes too. Nothing special (clearly since I forgot I ate them). My friend said the egg drop was too eggy. But if you like eggs, thumbs up! We'll def order from this place again!!! One downside, I think it closes at 10pm. A little earlier than others but as long as you're not having late night drunk cravings, you're set.

    Pork soup dumpling

    We were here on a sunday. The place was empty when we go here. We got the chicken with eggplant and garlic sauce and the pork juicy buns. Both tasted ok not the best ones and it is not cheap. Service was good.

    Ripped!!

    Went there for a Groupon plus. Chinese people run the place (not surprisingly). Thought it would be good. Small portions. Biggest Mistake is how they charge u 18% tip for 2 PEEPS?! 2 entree but didn't even tell me!! I was about to leave a tip!! It's a small dinky place and not classy by an means. You won't get water and you have to buy a drink. Food is mediocre at best! The worst is to charge u a tip?!! Cuz I used a credit card?? Why?!!

    Ray T.

    Soup buns are great! The hot and sour soup has a lot of black pepper flavor but the quantity of stuff in it (mushrooms, tofu, etc.) makes up for that. The service is friendly and very accommodating. The brisket soup with udon noodle was sooooooo good. Has lots of meat, tasty bok choy an the depth of flavor in the broth is spot on! My wife had the beef and broccoli. She liked the flavor and the fact that the beef was not overly silkened. We will definitely come back and try something else.

    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 hadn't been to EDH in a while and was happy to see they do have later hours (with a smaller late night menu). The place was pretty busy at 10:00 PM last Saturday, with a wide range of diners, which is good for business. The food though, at least that night, was really disappointing. My friend had the chicken dumplings. He said they were okay. I thought they were overcooked. My steamed shrimp shumai were fine, but steamed, they didn't have much flavour. The edamame, on the other hand, had way too much when it should have almost none. I don't know if it was excess salt, MSG or something else, but not good. I should have sent them back. I hope this was just an off night for the kitchen.

The pacing of the meal for the quantity of food received seemed very rushed, and we didn't really have a chance to relax and enjoy any of the courses. However, the quality of the experience was a complete disaster particularly for the price. Clearly, the packed restaurant would disagree, but for the four of us anyway, we would not return. It started with the check in process at what felt like a long hotel front desk with multiple, self important hosts and hostesses overseeing your entrance to the cavernous bar/waiting area. One problem is the noise is so deafening that you can't really hear what they say to you but we check in a few minutes early and waited obediently in the bar area chatting. After about 30 minutes (15 after our reservation time), and watching numerous parties large and small who arrived after us be seated by the hostesses wandering through the dimly lit space who peer quizzically and ask your name, my husband went to ask for an update. (We joked that those vibrating lighted buzzers alerting when your table was ready would have been super helpful, but it was amusing to watch while we waited). It was clear they somehow lost track of us as she had him repeatedly spell our (not unusual) name. Anyway, after that, within 10 minutes after that we were taken downstairs to our seats (but not before standing awkwardly in the large dining area near packed tables waiting while our table was cleaned). Server with a heavy accent was kind and mostly helpful so none of this is on him. The busser who managed to spill half a pitcher of cold water on my husband's back, soaking his shirt and jacket and barely apologizing, is a whole other story. We managed to get a glass of his mediocre Cabernet comped for the experience. If I sound annoyed, I guess I still am. I had high hopes for a fun and tasty experience in a cool part of the city and it just wasn't.

I'm a lower middle-class Jersey guy - what the heck do I know about cocktails?  But I dove right into one ("Jade Collins") and it was firing on all cylinders.  Crisp, clean, strong enough to knock over an ox. 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.

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.

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.
