If you are looking for a pre-theater dinner and have a hankering for Chinese food, stop by The Corner, a lovely Chinese restaurant on 9th Avenue. Santiago, our waiter, was lovely and the food delicious. We had Moo Shoo Chicken and stir fry eggplant/green beans. Both very good and prices reasonable. Pleasant ambiance, good food, fair prices and lovely waitstaff! read more

I'm so sad to have read all the positive reviews, when that was not at all our experience the night we went! There were a number of potential factors going on. The place was understaffed the night we went. The staff who were there seemed to be newer/being trained -- which we understand, and so we were patient and kind. But we were nervous from the moment we sat down. We tried the crispy peppercorn chicken, which was inedible. It was 95% breading and overly spicy. We both like heat -- but there needs to be flavor with the heat, otherwise there's no point. We ate a few bites to see if it was us, but it wasn't -- it was the dish. We then ordered some sautéed broccoli with garlic -- and this one was flavorless. So left that to the side. We hoped upon hope that the fried rice we ordered would give us something -- but it was kind of like regular rice with bird's eye vegetables and pineapple added in. I'm so glad others had a good experience -- unfortunately, ours was a real pass; so much so that I'm afraid we won't give it another chance, especially with the other excellent Chinese restaurants in the area. read more

If you're looking for a great spot in Hell's Kitchen, The Corner Chinese Restaurant is a gem. It's super close to Broadway and Times Square but has a totally low-key, casual vibe. The authentic food is excellent, the veggies and noodles are delicious, and the portions are massive for the price. The waiter was also super friendly and helpful. They even have vegan options and a happy hour, which is awesome. I highly recommend dropping in! We did have moo shoo chicken and stir fy eggplant with green beans. It was more than enough for two people to split! read more

We had tickets to a show, and had reservations nearby, and the restaurant was super loud and table was still occupied, so we went to the Corner for a drink to figure out our plan. How serendipitous! Yes the lighting is bright, but we had a surprising experience. Jenny greeted us and helped pick some on and "off-menu" dishes that were great! Well cooked, good flavors and VERY authentic chinese. A perfect pre-theater dinner! Don't be afraid to ask Jennie what is not Chinese/American, and she will help pick good dishes! read more

This is one of my most favorite places to eat in Midtown! You can't get to Chinatown, don't worry. Stop here and it is all delicious! Make sure to get the Honey Walnut Shrimp, the roasted eggplant with its hint of spice, and the Beef Chow Fun. The gorgeous interiors will remind you of the Hulu series, interior Chinatown, I believe the writer is around the corner. Service is impeccable and if you can't make your way to Chinatown, honestly this is the best place in Midtown I've ever been to. I think of it all the time! read more

Side note- I apologize for the people at our table who was a prick several months ago when I went here. The changing table size, that person, and our varied arrival times led to very much expected service headaches, and the waitstaff who helped us and put up with that person were saints. Anyway, I was at this Chinese spot a good while back with a group that I rarely attend dinners with. I don't attend for many reasons, as you can see in the side note above, and this broke the proverbial back. The menu primarily focuses on Szechuan dishes, but it also offers a good mix of Cantonese and standard Chinese-American fare. As we waited, I sat with one of the guys who had a cocktail he liked. After a while, we sat down and ordered haphazardly. To start, as I was getting hungry, I ordered a $4 Hot And Sour Soup. The soup was more on the Szechuan side, being less gloopy as there wasn't too much cornstarch, which is definitely my preference. There were some wood-ear mushrooms, a bit of tofu, ginger, and other assorted vegetables in there. It was above average and good. The other person I mentioned ordered a $15 Mapo Tofu, which I got a bit of, and it was pretty tasty. The mala flavor was a bit lighter than expected, but the tofu texture was nice, being neither too firm nor too soft. This place also makes its Mapo Tofu a bit different in another way, as the traditional ground pork topping, or the less typical ground chicken, is available for an extra $7, which is nice for vegetarians. My main dish was the Boiled Beef, a $24 dish that is listed with three chili peppers. This consisted of juicy slices of beef cooked in a spicy, numbing broth infused with Sichuan peppercorns, chilies, and aromatic spices for a bold and flavorful dish. The dish arrived in a large bowl with plenty of oil, as expected. For those unaware, it might look like broth, but it's more of a way to keep the beef in the flavorful oil, and it's not supposed to be drunk. Another person had gotten white rice, and I had the dish together. The beef was plentiful and had a good numbing effect, though it was a bit less spicy than I expected. It was fine, but next time, if I came back here, I would probably get the spicy fish filet or something else. This is a pretty good Chinese place with plenty of space in the middle of a neighborhood that is rapidly adding more and more Asian spots. I'll bump up my rating a good amount because the service had to deal with one particular moron, and the food was good quality, except for my main dish, which was only decent. Would be a lower 3 in other neighborhoods with more Szechuan options. read more

Beautiful space on 9th Ave serving delicious chinese food. I like how the menu is a mix of authentic and americanized food. The staff was quick to seat us and was good about asking us questions. For dishes we went with a mix of the menu. The peking duck rolls were something unique I've never had before and had a pleasant taste to it. I liked the main dishes the most - the kung pao chicken had a good flavor and the fish was coated in a delicious sauce. For chinese food in NYC, I'd be back - especially with it being so close to Times Square! read more

The wonton soup was not quite the flavor that I am typically used to at a regular Chinese restaurant. It wasn't bad it just lacked flavor. I was really looking forward to the spring rolls which are typically big and a big crispy dough and these were like little frozen ones that you get out in Nevada. Totally disappointed the potstickers were great. read more

So glad we looked on yelp for Asian food in the area and found this beautiful oasis. Lunch specials were $15 and included soup. Many choices available. I had chicken with eggplant and my husband had cashew chicken. Both were plentiful and delicious. Service was sufficient, could have been checked on a bit more but as I said sufficient. read more

Just as our table, we also noticed others that they experienced that one plate gets to the table way before the other one, so one person is just hanging around there. But focusing on the food quality only, it's really good. Our server didn't speak well English and couldn't answer questions or provide recommendations, so the service wouldn't be great if her manager or lead server didn't jump in. The ambience is also what really made us like this place, considering the previously mentioned negatives. It's really cozy and comfortable with a great energy. Overall, food - really good, ambience - really good, service - not up to par. read more

We visited the restaurant on New Years Day afternoon , it wasn't busy. I was surprised that the price of the dishes were pricey but then not surprised after seeing the portion of the food. The portion is a family portion so definitely worth the price. We tried the wonton soup, crispy baby tofu, crispy chicken wings, beef lo mein, beef Angel hair rice pasta, sautéed baby bok choy, beef with mushroom. They were all delicious, since it's a szechuan style, you can definitely taste that on crispy chicken wings. Crispy baby tofu, it was soft Japanese tofu (not my fav). Definitely good restaurant for family! A little suggestion will be having a different kind of music in the restaurant. It was kind of loud/bar/pop hip hop music and the noise from tv mixed all together, kind of kill the mood of the restaurant. read more

Stopped in The Corner to grab a late night snack. It was about 20min to closing but there were still a few tables finishing up and the staff was polite and encouraged us to us to dine. The lychee martini was delicious and lo mein was a huge potion. There are a lot of options on the menu, so it was hard to just choose one but the quality was excellent and I would come back again. read more

One of my close friends raved about this spot for a while now and she recommended I check it out at some point. I was off on a weekday and since I was in the area I decided to take advantage of their lunch special. I have to take a star away and give them four stars because #1) Their menu prices aren't updated online and #2) I didn't see anywhere online stating that they close at 3:30 pm and reopen again later. As far as their menu prices, their website still says they have a $12/$14/$16 lunch menu special but when you arrive this menu doesn't exist any longer. On their lunch menu everything is $14. As far as them closing at 3:30 pm for lunch and reopening later for dinner, this should be clear. I arrived around 3:10 pm and I was told they shut down at 3:30 pm, but I was still able to order and thankfully wasn't rushed. The young gentleman, Laurent, provided excellent customer service and was super friendly. I hope to get him again when I return. The food was absolutely DELISH!!! I ordered two lunch specials, one to eat there and another to take home, and I surely wasn't disappointed. Very fresh and authentic Chinese cuisine with generous portions. I ordered the beef with broccoli and also the chicken with garlic sauce. Both were very tasty and the lunch specials come with a rice and a soup of your choice. The inside of this establishment is beautiful, clean and bright. As soon as I stepped in I felt like I was transported to China. I'm looking forward to returning and trying other dishes. read more

When we first walked in, we were immediately greeted with the scent of insecticide. Our server did not know anything about the menu. It might have been his first day, or his first week. . . We asked him for an appetizer recommendation and he gave us entree recommendations. We ordered vodka sodas, he asked us what kind of soda we wanted. The scallion pancake was so thin with hardly any scallions or pancake. The chow fun noodles were overcooked. The General Tsao's chicken was actually quite good, sweet, tangy and it actually had a kick! Overall, I'd say the food was forgettable. read more

Absolutely fabulous food that is beautifully prepared and specially wrapped chopsticks. The menu is extensive and the restaurant photos are beautiful. My delivery from GrubHub was super fast,as well. read more

Quite salty. Everything is too over sauced!! Also if the price on the menu says it $19. It's not $19 but prolly $19.60 like all the other items that says it's $16. It's not $16 but $16.74 or something. They throw in addition change to the price... but I guess the would have charge extra if paying with a credit card. The vibe is ok but it seems their service is just ok. It's not very busy here... read more

Awesome spot only a few blocks away from Times Square. Don't go to chains, avoid the crowds and take the extra 10 mins to walk to this Szechuan spot. Cozy place with seating for all types of parties big or small. A great bar with a solid selection of liquors and beers. Food was flavorful, delicious and jussssst the right amount of spice.

The first time I went there, Everything was delicious, did not catr for the Crab Rangoon, but overall the door amd drinks were really good. I went again last night, and the portions were half of what they usually are. It was like a lunch portion for the same price as a dinner portion. I was highly upset, but it was close to closing and I didn't want to cause problems thay late in the evening. I feel like I was over charged for all the food that I ordered read more

I came here impromptu for an event through a friend chat group after passing this place shortly before getting laid off from a job in the area. Though I got here kind of late, the staff was very polite and the food was delicious. I'm super happy I got my pineapple chicken and had yummy leftovers the next day. The ambiance is definitely great for friends or a date night and I'm happy I finally tried it out. If given the opportunity, I'd definitely come back. read more

Came here last year before we went to see MJ the musical and the service, food and ambiance were spectacular so I decided to come back again and wow the disappointment was insane. From the jump, had no idea who was are waiter/waitress, had to wait 20-30 mins for a simple drink from the bar. Parties larger than my group (which was only 3 people) that came in after us were getting their food and drinks before us mind you we've been waiting for over an hour for simple dishes like chicken and broccoli, general tso and beef. Every time we ask a server, everyone seemed confused and bushed us off. We got there at 5pm we didnt get our food until 650-7pm. Never coming back read more

5 star! After a horrible experience across the street, we wandered in by chance. They sat us right away, which was a plus. We were in a rush because we had shows to see. The menu was large, but we ordered several items and told them they can come out at any time. It did come out very random but we did ask for that. Big portions. Service was fast. Food was hot and delicious and we were surprisingly very impressed. P.S. I also loved the sturdy take out containers and the reusable bag! read more

This was a solid spot for American Chinese food. had the vegetarian imperial, which is basically vegetarian chicken wings in a General Tso's type sauce. It comes with some steamed broccoli and a bowl of white rice. The sauce is pretty standard, very sweet and a bit tart and savory. The texture on the wings is fantastic - crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. For just $19 before tax and tip, it ended up being a pretty filling and satisfying meal. read more

This was a difficult review to write ... why? The food was so good - everything we ordered was delicious and the meats were so tender they melted in your mouth. However; the service left a lot to be desired. The place is cute overall, too. Drinks: while they had a full bar and a pretty nice-sized cocktail menu,, they could only serve beer and wine. strike. So, we got hot teas and sodas. Service: many mishaps with the menu, hard to get server's attention to get water refills, or to order more food or drinks. also, at the end of the meal, they brought an incorrect check but then charged the correct one, without an explanation for the higher charge and needed clarification Food: WOW - so flavorful. If you can put aside the service points, the food alone is worth many reasons to check out this new-ish Hell's Kitchen spot. Hot and Sour soup, Shrimp Lo Mein, the Corner's Three Delights, shrimp fried rice, Chung King beef, the crispy steak in tangerine peel sauce, and the Shanghai shrimp rolls... all tasty , and good-sized portions. It almost feels like you can't go wrong with pretty much any option on the menu. Anything we couldn't finish we took home and finished later the same day. read more

We ordered the Beef & Mushrooms, Chicken & String beans, and vegetable spring rolls and all the food was delicious and came out quickly to our table. The only downside was the waiter took forever to take our order and it was not that busy.

The bus boy was courteous and attentive, more so than the waiter. read more

Got food poisoning from this restaurant on my last day in NY. Ordered the filet mignon, string bean chicken, a shrimp dish, chicken chow mein and white rice, of course. Nothing was memorable. Except for the "filet mignon" because it did NOT taste like filet mignon, it was like a ball of meat that was too chewy to swallow. The shrimp dish did not taste good. My son and I are the only two who ate the shrimp dish. He ate 1 shrimp and it tasted off to him so he didn't have any more. I ate 5. Once I got back to the hotel, I felt like something was wrong. Within two hours I was hugging the toilet in my hotel room. Problem is, it was coming out both ends. I heaved and hoed for hours all night long. My son had instant diarrhea and was over his 1 shrimp transgression pretty quickly. I was sick all night. We had plans to get tickets to a Broadway show but sadly could not. The next morning, dehydrated and over tired from my sleepless night we trekked 1 mile to the train station with bags through the overcrowded streets. As you can imaging the numerous food truck smells and underground vent smells did me no good. It's been a month since we ate here and I think of this restaurant almost every time I eat out. What were the red flags? An empty restaurant, a waitress whose voice you could barely hear, and food that tasted bad. read more

The service was stellar and the food was served hot! If I had to say something not so great about my experience it would be that the shrimp was uncleaned within my spring rolls. However, everything else was served hot with welcoming service. I do recommend the shrimp fried rice with an extra side of duck sauce as each bite had me hooked. I also had the cucumber salad which was really good. I definitely recommend giving this place a good as their portion sizes are GREAT for the price! Thank you CCR! read more
