A Jiao is our go-to for solid Chinese food in the neighborhood. It always delivers and the lunch specials are amazing in terms of food and amount of food! This time we ordered the eggplant lunch special with hot and sour soup and the beef chow fun also comes with wonton soup. The staff here are always so nice and I call to order my food for takeout and the food is always piping hot. Such an excellent place!
Food and service is great. Always quick and tasty and for local Chinese this is exactly what I prefer.
Under the radar Szechuan place on the UES. Food was decent at very reasonable prices. This place would be very popular if they worked on the ambiance - get some music and have better lighting or hire an interior designer. We noticed that Chinese people were dining and getting takeout so that's a stamp of authenticity. Dan Dan noodles 3.5/5 Double cooked pork 4/5 Will come back again to try other dishes to fulfill my cravings
Yup still the best the lunch special alone is the best deal on the UES. It ranges from 9.50 to about 13 and comes with white , fried, or brown rice a soup or spring roll. Portions are huge food is fresh the ladies working there are so nice.
This place is hands down the best Chinese restaurant on UES. Really satisfies my cravings for Chinese food without having to go all the way to Chinatown
I've ordered here a couple of times for takeout, but I just found my favorite dish here: Chongqing braised fish in white sauce. It's so savory with a little bit of spicy kick. The fish is super tender muaaaah! I also love that they put pancakes in exclamation points and we did get a lot of pancakes for mooshoo pork. Overall, this is the best Chinese takeout around the area. The lady taking orders is super nice, they make the food quickly and is tasty. I've never done dine in, but the restaurant looks nice and clean.
A hole in the wall authentic Sichuan restaurant. Great prices, quick service, and most importantly, amazing food. We are definitely coming back here!
