not quite chinatown in the west 30s
lunch is a bargain compared to americanized chinese restaurants. this is no frills chinese food with lots of msg (i could taste it in every bite, as compared to the after taste after the whole meal) and low quality meat. The beef in my dish was soft but only because it's been soaking in tenderizer. decent food if you're craving chinatown food and can stand the overuse of msg.

If you weren't an idiot...
This place is chinese food at its very core, which means that there are no frills, you'll get great food at great value, and the food is always fresh. that said, the reviewer below needs to smarten up. if the service is brisk, then you must be also. Don't be hating on asian places and wanting deli's. I mean seriously, the food and value alone is enough for this place. Speak up and stop whining!

hate this place!
if you like rude service, go here. they make me feel as if they're doing me a favor..."...what you want?", and whenever i go in there, i am ignored unless i speak up, louder than them...a friendly smile? i don't think they know what that means or does. so i stopped going. i don't need people like that to ruin my day, why support thei business? they closed for a while...i was very happy...but they are reopened!!! what we need on this block is a nice deli...with fresh, clean, recognizable things to eat, and courteous service.

I am there everymoring like clockwork.
I wandered in and found the most delicious breakfast ever for New Yorkers on the go. They make "Scallion Bacon Buns" fresh every morning for 70 cents each. I cannot stay away from the place for that reason. Ive never had a Scallion bacon bun,,,,now I eat two every morning. My breakfast in Midtown is $1.40 cents. Cannot beat that, ever. Forget the atmosphere - its more of a take out place. It rules.

Are you kidding?
Don't be fooled by the lack of atmosphere. I have been here severel times for lunch and for 5 dollars you get a great meal. Make sure you order from the menu, and do not go for the fast pre made that sits at the counter. For 1 dollar more you get an amazing, hot and fresh meal that is impossible to finish. The desserts also look amazing and are dirt cheap. I'm going to be in the area today and will stop by to bring some home.

Great food, So Cheap
I wandered into the bakery because I work nearby and I was looking for a lunchtime snack. I was amazed. They have a full line of sweet and savory dim sum-style things. I got two roast pork buns and a sesame ball filled with sweet bean paste and I paid TWO DOLLARS. Its very hard to find ANYthing around this area for 2 dollars so I'll be going back a lot. Sorry, Au Bon Pain.

No Forks, Sauces and Napkins?
The food was good and plentiful. Perfect for a hungry guy... Problem was that when I had my order taken the lady yelled over the hell that was the sound of the kitchen. The food arrived on time (veg lo mein and gen tso chicken) but there were no utensils, napkins, and sauces. Secondly, I got white rice when I asked for fried rice. Please remind these kind people to include certain things lest they forget. Nice delivery man though.
