I was looking for lunch places in this area and tried Our Place today for the first time. Got their lunch special soup/spring roll, chicken with garlic sauce w/ brown rice. The chicken tasted fine. The brown rice was a little rougher than I like. My main issue was the egg drop soup, which was about the saltiest thing I've ever tasted in my life. I couldn't eat more than 2 spoonfuls and I was done. Soups should be neutral in salt-content, since salt can be easily added by the consumer.

Always order take out from Our place, great egg drop soup, great dumplings and shu mai, great chicken and broccoli and chicken chow mein. Can't go wrong ordering from here just a bit expensive in my opinion for Chinese food.

Not the best I've ever had but certainly not the worst. I ordered a dish that I swear should have come with some vegestables but it didn't...weird.... It tasted okay but could have been all the alcohol we had consumed. Waiter was fine - not pushy or rude. Desert was pretty good too. The restaurant part smelled like cleaner but the bathrooms were clean! I guess I would order take out but wouldn't eat in again.

This place used to be one of the better places on Upper East side but it really has deteriorated.   I recently ordered from there and the order was all wrong and the food was awful once it all arrived 45 mins later.

Let me preface this by saying that I am as low maintenance a customer as they come. I have much sympathy for wait staff and rude obnoxious customers. I try to be as nice as possible to my server and have never complained about poor service. A female friend and I walked in today at 2:57. We had seen the menu outside.with lunch specials until 3. The waiter gave us a dim sum menu instead and said the outside, cheaper menu was invalid (bait and switch anyone?). Fine, I asked to order the lunch special and the waiter said it was past 3:00. I told him it was exactly 3:00, not exactly pressing the issue. He leaves in a huff, comes back and says ok. I asked for chicken with cashews with soup and roll and an extra dim sum dish of spring rolls. He goes to the kitchen and returns 10 minutes later. My friend orders a soup and the waiter sneers and says that she should just take my soup (to imply that I'm cheap). I do my best to ignore it and we order dim sum. He tells us that dim sum is not being served after 3, never mind that he gave us the dim sum menu at 3. 10 minutes later, the lady next to my table orders dim sum and he writes it down. Unfreakingbelievable. He then proceeds to ignore my table for the next 30 minutes. So the two of us are stuck there eating one lunch special with an extra spring roll (picture showed 2, they gave us 1). Note that there were THREE tables occupied in the restaurant (out of 20) at this time and he was waiting on TWO of them. The other waiter was far more polite (at least not outright offensive). I will NEVER go within 2 blocks of this restaurant again. The guy obviously had an attitude problem. I've never NOT TIPPED in protest but this time I wanted to a scene about his rudeness. I bit my tongue, dropped $2 on the table for our $12.70 bill and walked out. The food was slightly above average and my friends order here all the time. But there is not way they will see a single penny from me again. We shouldn't feel obligated to tip tipping used to be for good service. Heck, I'll settle for basic.

We used to order from here all the time and the delivery was very good. Recently, the food has repeatedly arrived luke warm and does not look fresh. The people have also become quite rude. When I called to complain last time they argued with me for 10 minutes before grudgingly agreeing to send a fresh portion which was much better. Take-out was no better.

I used to love this place but in the past 6 months the prices have gone up quite drastically and the food quality and delivery service have declined. I used to always order from here but I am going to stop.
