4.0
We were visiting NYC and decided to try this Chinese food restaurant that was close to our hotel! As soon as we walked into the place, we knew we made the right the decision. The place decor is elegant, but at the same time it feels cozy! One of those places that you wish you would go if it's raining outside.We ordered the noodles, beef and broccoli and egg rolls (not pictured). The food came out super hot and super fast! Even thought the place was kind of busy! The noodles were delicious and the broccoli and beef was one of the best ones I've ever tried (and I had a lot of Chinese food when I used to live in the Bay Area, CA). The beef was so tender and juicy and the broccoli was cooked to perfection.I also had a Sapporo beer; highly recommend it with this meal!The service was fantastic as well. Our server was checking on us and greeted us with a smile!Overall, this was a great choice for the first NYC meal! Would definitely come back! - Rene Figueroa
