Good Americanized Chinese fast food that filled me in a pinch. I was hungry, needed to finish my Christmas shopping, was in Manhattan Valley and found this via my trusty Yelp! Love my helpful fellow Yelpers with their reviews. I also was in the mood for hte crispy broccoli with garlic sauce you can't make at home even if your dad was a Chinese Chef. It's all in the fire of the wok, my fellow Yelpers!
The place was a dive, with about 4 tables if I remember, clean but for some reason had a B rating which I noticed only when I left, and dished out some pretty good shrimp with broccoli that wasn't too greasy at all. I also noticed the broccoli was more parboiled and steamed and then stir fried as opposed to flash fried, hence the lesser grease ratio. It was delicious and crispy, and they gave a nice portion of large shrimp but the sauce was slightly less garlickly than other places. Service was friendly, efficient and sweet. I would come here again.
FINALLY!!! We found a good Chinese restaurant on the UWS. Yes it's very Americanized and not very authentic but I don't care. It's damn good. The combo plates they have are very reasonably priced, especially by NYC standards. You get meat, fried rice and an egg roll for under $10. Their General Tso's is ok, but their sweet and sour chicken was fantastic. The kind of chicken that you could have a wet dream about. My boyfriend and I now go to this place pretty much weekly and we've never had a bad experience. Also, if you order online through GrubHub you can frequently get coupons and free stuff depending on how much you order.
My husband and I ordered take-out from NKL. It was not bad! Good quantity of food for a cheap price. Also, they threw in two cokes for us. It was salty deliciousness.
