half as good as I expected
My father-in-law came to visit and wanted Peking Duck in Chinatown. How could I deny him? He and I are willing to try anything and my husband was willing to come along. The Peking duck, at $30, was a great choice. Tender duck. Crispy skin. It was delicious. Regretfully, our other choice, chicken stuffed with shrimp fell flat. All of us felt the dish lacked flavor and balance. We shared this with our waiter and the manager and they went on to say how popular the dish was for all the other patrons. "What's wrong with it? If you chose a dish and you don't like it, it's not our fault." Sorry, it sucked. So, one great dish, one weak dish. I'd try it again if the manager wasn't so customer-unfriendly.

Good food, good value... they have so many yummy things on the item i went back a few times to try them al... my favorites are the conch, the pumpkin curry beef (real soft and tender), seafood is a must try there.. the lobster is incredible... will definately go back for more good food... one of the best in chinatown now.

Fantastic.....Definitely my favorite
I have been here three times since Nov and I just can't get enough. Love everything from the soup to the dumplings to the sweet and sour chicken. So fresh and delicious!

Name speaks for itself.
Dined here last night with family from Chicago. Every dish was amazing. It truly makes a difference ordering from the chinese menu (my mom can read the menu thank goodness). The dishes are truly unique compared to the usual stuff we get at the other restaurants. One of the best dishest, although every dish was delicious, was the short ribs with pumpkin. It's $38 for the dish but it was a huge family portion that is very worth the money. Service was also excellent. My 2 year old kept [drop]ping her chopsticks and each time a waiter/waitress was there in seconds with a new pair without us asking for them. The Manager, Mr. Ng was very pleasant as well and made sure we got everything we needed. It's also a very clean restaurant which is a pleasant surprise for a smaller chinese restaurant in chinatown.

Quite Amazing
We eat out several times a week so one can say we've been around and know the o.k. to great places to eat. I have to say Amazing 66 is among the great ones. Their seafood preparation is wonderful and have not had a problem with any of its other dishes so far. They are ready to take your initial order, but after that, they kinda dissappear. The waiters get a little chatty with eachother so if one would want a tea another order, a tea refill or other beverage we'll need to call to the waiters at least a half a dozen times. For most part, it is a rather pleasant experience.

Don't call this place amazing
Well I went to Amazing 66 today and was greatly underwellemd. Nothing there was exceptionally bad, but not at all what I expect when eating in Chinatown. I ordered the following: Fried dumplings- bad texture and mediocre flavor with a very poor dipping sauce. The sauce tasted like some pre-mixed mass produced salty mess from a bottle rather than mixed at the restaurant. I suspect that the dumpling were not made there either. They reminded me of the supermarket frozen variety. Sautéed Chinese Broccoli- Way too much garlic . overpowered the flavor of the broccoli, no presentation it was sloppily thrown about in an inappropriate serving dish. Beef Chow fun "Dry" It came out swimming in gravy with Yuck- canned baby corns, carrots and American broccoli although the noodle texture was ok. and flavor was not bad for American Broccoli, but it is not what I come to Chinatown for. Sizzling Platter chicken with black bean sauce. This was the last dish to come out. They either forgot to heat the metal platter or the dish was sitting back for too long and lost all of its sizzle. The meats in the two dishes had no consistency , The sizes were of the cuts were all over the place .

Need Good Oil For Delicious Food
We were frequent customers of the old Eastern Villa Restaurant and their food was really amazing and delicious. We found this new “Amazing 66” restaurant to be very friendly and the food is very good. Most dishes are very good - - garlic roast chicken, crispy pork chop, scallops in black pepper sauce, lobsters with ginger and scallions, etc. Hot and sour soup is delicious. They have lunch menu with many varieties which are very delicious and the price is reasonable. We liked to take our friends and co-workers to eat there. However, we noticed that the cooking oil for the food is not amazing. It tasted like hydrogenated oil which is not good for our health. We have to refrain ourselves from eating there and hope that they will use good oil for the delicious food.
