    Food was really unique and delicious (especially the lamb). The family style serving allowed everyone to have a taste of everything. Cocktail was great. We had a group of 7 and our server made sure we were taken care of. A fun evening.

    If you are going to the theatre and want to eat close by this place is amazing. Only about a 5 minute walk to most Broadway shows it is the perfect place. Other Chinese restaurants in the area are packed but somehow this one is not and the food was so much better than the others. Maybe its the funkball location, across from the mess that is the Port Authority and tucked b/w a McDonalds and Burger King that turns people away…but once you taste the food you wont be sorry for braving the walk. Authentic Szechuan meals and a section in the back of the menu for “American Chinese” food…Might have been some of the best Chinese food I have ever had…that includes the China Town mainstay’s.
