The food and service is amazing. The fish is super fresh. Very comfortable ambiance. I really enjoyed this place and would recommend it to eveyone! read more

The service is not friendly at first, but it gets better as they get to know you. The food is cheap, especially so close to FiDi, as they do Fujianese business--there's an offering to the spirits in front of the entrance. The portions are big. Haute cuisine isn't what you should expect, but rather traditional Fujianese eats. read more

Yung Sun Restaurant - a whole fish on a plate - Chinese Near Me - Manhattan, New York

I enjoyed the food so much that I didn't even have time to take a picture. Lovely people. Very caring and not rude at all. They deserve all the customers in the world. May they be blessed with continuous business. They've been in NY for 10 years. That says something. If you're a tourist or just anyone confused on which place to hit when you're in Chinatown I definitely would give this place a try. Nice menu ranging from your simple chicken dishes to traditional Chinese staples. The tea was amazing as well. Great flavor and very open area to eat. Nice bathrooms too so you know they keep clean! This is on my bookmarks! read more

Quick, authentic Fujianese breakfast. Definitely add clams to your "dian mian coon" and get the fried taro cake

Such an OG spot for Fuzhounese food. There are two parts to the restaurant: one is above ground and more fancy dining, the other is below ground and you walk down the stairs. I would definitely recommend walking down to the basement one. You can probably try to order in Mandarin or English, but ordering in the Fuzhounese dialect is definitely the way to go. Both sides of my family are from Fuzhou, so when we come my mother orders in the Fuzhou dialect. I've been coming here since I was a child and my mother for probably far longer. It's been over a decade and yet the food quality has remained the same, impeccable as always. They truly sell authentic Fuzhou food and it's simply so good. Some dishes off the top of my head that I love from here include the bian rou ban mian (basically, wonton soup and peanut butter noodles), the fried circle thing, the fried triangle taro thing, their mei fen, ho fun soup, etc. Every time we come to Chinatown, we order from here. Both the food to go and the food to dine in is the same and absolutely delicious. Prices are cheap as well...this place is just simply to rave for. Maybe the only concern is sanitary, but I've never gotten sick eating food from here. The chefs know their stuff and it's a joy to eat from here. read more

Looove this place so so much!! Their lobster is delicious and their walnut shrimp is my favorite. All their food is super fresh and huge portions. Conveniently located and staff is really nice, 10/10 recommend! read more

Traditional fuzhou cuisine. Not my favorite, as we usually go to Fu Zhou Wei Zhong Wei Jia Xiang Fei Wei, but they closed down for COVID. We got their Oyster, Clam, and Jumbo Clam Foo Chow Ho Fun Soup. Also had their peanut noodles, fried taro cake, and oyster cake to pair with it. The Ho Fun Soups are really good and fresh, but it wasn't hot enough when it came out for some reason. I liked the Jumbo Clam one the most but it's up to personal preference. Their peanut noodles are a bit bland. It needs some more sauce and salt. The taro cake was average and the oyster cake didn't really have any oyster pieces and was too greasy. I would only go here again for Ho Fun. read more

Wow! This place is still here. It's been open since the late 80s. I rememeber first coming here when I was a kid. The restaurant looked smaller back then and seems to have been renovated in the past years. This is of course that standard typical fujianese cuisine. Bowls of noodle soup, pan fried noodle and dishes over rice. Their peanut butter noodle dish is pretty good and they also have fried taro where most fujianese places don't. This is a cash only spot. read more

It's the place my mom always bring me to for fujianese food. So I would always come here when I'm at Chinatown during when I crave fj food. The place is a little hard to spot if esp if you don't really know you way around so look for numbers on the door. The entrance is next to a bigger restaurant and it's at the basement. But it's a pretty popular place so the flow of people will give you a good hint I guess lol. The house special Ho Fun soup is like must try fj food item and what I always get along with some fried stuff like the long dough (which I like to dip in soy sauce or the soup), taro cake or oyster cake. Another classic fj combo is foo chow wonton soup with plain noodle with peanut butter. I don't get it as often because i personally don't like it that much and I tend to crave the Ho Fun soup more. If you don't mind that it's at the basement and he sanitation is somewhat questionable this place offers pretty legit fj food at a pretty cheap price and no tips lol. read more

This place is the amazing. They specialize in Fuzhou Dishes and their portions and prices are both absolutely incredible. We paid roughly 20 dollars for a pretty full meal and it was for 3 people! The spareribs with special sauce and the egg noodles with peanut sauce was really good. Honestly, I've been to a number of Chinese restaurants in Manhattan's Chinatown and this truly a gem. The service is good as they actually refill the tea and best of all, they don't charge a stupid tea fee. Will be back for sure. read more

Yung Sun Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Manhattan, New York

A Fujianese Fuzhou restaurant, reflecting the local East Broadway neighborhood. Live a little and avoid the American-Chinese and even Cantonese dishes. Go to basement for the Fuzhou small eats - basically choose from the front of the small menu. I recommend the fish balls in soup, stir fried rice noodles (meifun), noodle soups and the oyster cakes (deep fried with chives and oyster filling). For dessert, try the rice balls (tong yuen) stuffed with red bean or nuts. Will be back to try more. read more

A great place to come for traditional Fujianese food. The fried taro is nice, fragrant, and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It is deep fried but tastes pretty light and not overly oily. The hot and sour soup is AMAZING! It's not as spicy as I would prefer it to be but still tastes great. There are a lot of toppings in the soup itself, but the overall taste is a bit sweet, which is quite strange. read more

Ehh.. not so much. - My chicken was not tender at all & broccoli wasn't so good - I tried my mom's Seafood Noodles, very gingery and kinda greasy - Table cloths were that weird fabric on the understand/plastic on the top - Tea wasn't very good - Had a big screen TV showing a bad kung fu movie, complete with gore which wasn't fun to watch while we were eating. Only upsides were that were in a hurry and it was very quick and the waitstaff was nice. For the seafood noodles and my chicken & broccoli the total bill w/ tax was $20. read more

This is one of those authentic restaurants in the non-touristy side of Chinatown. Every time I go, I'm the only non-Asian there. Gotta love that! The menu's got a bit of everything- from your boring American-Chinese staples for people like Liz M. to strange dishes you should try (if you're adventurous). I go for things like duck blood, pork intestines, duck feet... and there are many others. I think the food is very tasty (granted, I have not tried pork intestines anywhere else) and the service is just fine. This is a no-frills place, though. Don't expect much, just real (or so I like to think) Chinese food served hot, fast and yummy. Servers speak very little English, of course. Just another layer of authenticity. read more

This place is excellent. Food was delicious and service was very good and friendly. Very reasonably priced too. We sat in the upper part of the restaurant. Place is nice and clean with reasonably good ambience read more

Yung Sun Restaurant - people walking in front of the restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Manhattan, New York

Disgusting food, I ordered a seafood crispy noodle and a tofu fish fillet bowl to go. Both taste terrible. I also saw them chopping up a whole roasted duck on a plate to put in a microwave to heat, and it the plate didn't fit so the manger was like oh wells, the he proceeded to take the plate to a table of non Asians. I felt bad for that table too. read more

was staying in Chinatown when I went out looking for an "edible" Chinese restaurant. I was looking for something somewhat "authentic" but without the shock that many authentic dishes come with (like jellyfish, fish heads, pig intestine, duck tongues, etc.) I know of a few good restaurants on the Mott Street side of Chinatown (Wo Hop for one), but the East Broadway side is much more adventurous, mainly because there is almost no English spoken or written here. The first restaurant I walked into was Yung Sun, drawn in by their take-out menus printed in English (most restaurants on East Broadway DO NOT offer English menus.) I'm glad I chose Yung Sun, because it turned out to be so good, I ate here 4 nights in a row. Almost all of the dishes I ordered were delicious. Some were a little oily, but nothing unexpected. Only the Foo Chow wonton soup was inedible; the broth was salty and tasteless, the wontons are not the ones you're used to either. Not very good. But, the lychee pork, black pepper chicken with mixed vegetables, pork with Chinese vegetables, chicken & baby shrimp with mixed vegetables, taro cake, and hot & sour soup were all superb. In fact, the H&S soup was the best I have ever tasted. Other dishes that were sampled; chicken and eggplant in garlic sauce, beef chow fun (too much gravy), salt & pepper squid, orange flavor beef, chicken & vegetables in garlic sauce, and pork dumplings. I found that the dishes served "Chinese style" (over rice) were an awesome deal (albeit with less choices than the rest of the menu) at about $4.50 each dish. The taro cake is a must (and it's only $.70.) The reason I didn't give Yung Sun a rating of 5 is because the people working here have no personality and speak NO English. I originally tried to phone in my order, only to be told "no speak English." Even in the restaurant, I had to circle numbers on the menu, no other interaction. And, you would think after giving them business for four nights in a row they would become somewhat friendly. Not these folks. The restaurant itself is very clean for Chinatown. Prices are excellent, and the food is superb. I want to tell them how good their food is, but they wouldn't understand! I can't wait to go back, even if it's just for a taro cake and a pint of hot & sour soup. read more

Came here with some friends to have dinner. We ordered some dishes that were quite delicious. The lobster with ginger and scallion is one of the best I ever had. The taro cakes are amazing. The prices are very reasonable compare to other similar restaurants. This place (upstair) has free WiFi for customers read more
