Chef Pho & Peking Roast Duck

Astoundingly good food here, and heart-warming service. General Tso’s chicken is cooked perfectly. Clean, fast, and not overpriced especially for the quality of food your receiving. Their wonton soup is to die for. I come here after a tiring dance class, and it’s a wonderful place to relax and feel welcomed by the staff.

The portion was huge! Two of the dishes I ordered lacked flavour, but that’s alright. The not okay part was that they pre-added the tip into the bill, which was at 20% and the service was average at best.

This place is horrible and you should take my word for it because I’m Chinese. For 27 dollars( half a duck, see the picture for yourself ) you get a pathetic plate of meat with some crispy duck skin but half of them had feathers in them. I told the waitress but she mumbled something like it was because their duck was prepared differently. The steamed bun came on a PLATE not a steamer which meant they were probably frozen, from a supermarket instead of made fresh. Come to think of it, when we walked in there weren’t any Chinese people in it which was a bad sign. My husband was immensely disappointed. DO NOT GO THERE.

As a local, I finally decided to try this place. Despite having Peking Duck as the name of the restaurant and assuming it would be their signature dish, it was horrible. Dry, bland and tasteless. The skin should be crispy but instead reminded me of a soggy blanket. Awful and should be avoided as there are many much better places nearby (try 9th Ave).

Sui was great at taking care of our party of 4. We enjoyed dinner for about $77 including two appetizers. Food was hot and fresh.

Pictures of the fried rice is why I came here. When it’s just onion and bean sprouts it’s the best. Now there is random corn, egg, peas and carrots all over cooked. The egg roll has no flavor unless you’re ok with just tasting the sauce. The General Tso is VERY good. But they purposely edit my order and didn’t bring me white rice because I ordered Fried Rice too. So I had to ask for it. I don’t like my orders being edited because they think they know what I want. What I wanted was good Chinese food. Instead I got good General Tso (which was sweet and not extra spicy like I asked but still good) and a Diet Coke.

Great food! But they automatically add 20% tips on the food +tax! And they also add $1 dollars on each dish, which is very weird! I didn’t complain because I don’t want to fight with it. I just left and I don’t think anyone would appreciate that.

Food was fantastic. Don't care that they added 20% tip. The service was worth it.

Initially I was hesitant to eat here after seeing the reviews. Over time I've come to appreciate the value and convenience this restaurant offers. $13 lunch specials are a good deal in Midtown and the food quality has so far been entirely adequate. I'll admit that I've been too nervous to get anything from the Vietnamese side of the menu. I really like pho, but something tells me that might be a recipe for disappointment. Instead, I stick with the "safer" options. General Tso's chicken and sesame chicken are sweet, saucy, crispy options. The lo mein is passable and the broccoli in the beef and broccoli is fresh and tasty. The beef can sometimes be a little too soft and chewy for my liking. I haven't been blown away by the soups but they're served piping hot. Yeah, okay, this won't be the best Chinese food you'll ever eat, but I don't think it's that bad. Most of the good cheap spots in this neighborhood went out of business years ago, so it's good to still have this kind of option.

This place has a lot of potential, but as is I had a few critiques. The place is very delightful: the seats and decorations are very neatly organized and it seems like a relaxing place to eat. The lady who took my order was polite and helpful. Overall, the process was smooth. I ordered shrimp with lobster sauce, white rice, and a vegetable spring roll for about $11. The white rice and the spring roll were decent, not much to complain about over there. However, the lobster sauce was a bit excessive. The texture threw me off: it was goopy and coagulated around the fork. If the ratio of sauce to ingredients was a bit better, I can see this dish being a bit more enjoyable. The portion of shrimp also wasn't the most satisfying. I found maybe four small pieces of shrimp in the entire bowl. As far as taste goes, the shrimp and vegetables had minimal flavor and the sauce was reminiscent of chicken noodle soup on a sick day. Overall, this place isn't the worst but there's a journey for them to pursue for sure.

As a local, I finally decided to try this place. Despite having Peking Duck as the name of the restaurant and assuming it would be their signature dish, it was horrible. Dry, bland and tasteless. The skin should be crispy but instead reminded me of a soggy blanket. Awful and should be avoided as there are many much better places nearby (try 9th Ave).

This place used to have good Chinese food, and it was fast and reasonably priced delivery. They must have new management, because it is absolutely terrible now. I ordered my usual, 4 chicken wings with shrimp fried rice. I received 2 chicken wings chopped in half, with a significantly smaller portion of rice inside a plastic container. I understand the economy is tough right now, but this is a bait and switch. And then they have the audacity to charge $20 for what used to cost me $18. If you want less food that tastes bad and want to pay more for it, this is the place to go to. I will not be returning, and part of me wants to report them to the BBB.

Had never tried this place, and it's so close to home! Stopped in to place an order to bring home. We ordered steamed vegetable dumplings to start, they came 6 in the box with an odd sauce, usually like a soy/vinegar but this one was a bit thicker and sweeter. Thick dough, not much veg inside, but passable. We shared 2 entrees, tofu with broccoli, and shrimp w Chinese eggplant. Each came with rice (I forgot to specify brown, so we got white). Both were good, ample and tasty portions. This restaurant also has Vietnamese food, and I'm going to guess that perhaps that's where they excel. The Chinese food we had was standard rather than stand out. But it was local, so helps the neighborhood, it was well packaged, good and hot, and satisfied that craving!

Not really sure why the ratings are so low for this place. It was pretty solid for the prices I paid, and so close to all the theaters and Times Square. I'd say this place is less Vietnamese and more Chinese. Definitely speaking Mandarin when I walked in. They have 2 menus, a Vietnamese and a Chinese menu. I decided to go with Vietnamese menu because I've been eating heavy during my vacation. I ordered the fried chicken rice noodles and what I got was basically rice noodles in broth with skinless and batter free fried chicken. The chicken was spiced and pretty tasty, reminded me of Taiwanese popcorn chicken. The best part out of all of this is the fact that I wasn't crazy thirsty after. No MSG to be found in it!

Pretty normal tasting Chinese food. Nothing special. Super greasy. My tofu stir fry was swimming in oil. I couldn't finish it because I felt like I was drinking oil. They do serve brown rice which is a plus. The lunch special is only 8.95 for entree rice and appetizer. Only reason I wasn't too upset was because the price was reasonable. The steamed vegetable dumplings had really thick dumpling skin and texture was pretty terrible. Don't order them. Save your money and calories. I ordered the vegetable pho from here before. The soup was pretty tasteless. There's no excuse. I've had excellent flavorful veggie pho before. I probably wouldn't come back here given the plethora of Chinese restaurants in NYC.

Used to be great food, great value at the 52nd street and 8th Ave location.... Different location on 9th avenue has HORRIBLE food!!! Don't do it!

I ordered Young Chow fried rice with extra shrimp here, one day when I was in a big rush for convenience-I'm SO GLAD I didn't have time to check Yelp first- It was delicious!!! Perfectly seasoned, not over-fried, light. Perfect amount of egg-pork-rice. I'll definitely be back for this dish!!! (I'm really impressed- I'm usually disappointed in the general greasiness and lack of flavor in this dish, upon blind-ordering... and they were really helpful to boot.)

Never had Pho before. It seems like some late night ramen I mixed up on my stove at home. If you dont know what I mean That is when you get hungry late night but you should not be out driving so you find some ramen in your pantry and ad what you find in the fridge to it like an egg, lunch meat, frozen vegatables, etc. Anyway pretty good spot, clean, friendly, inexpensive for its location. Pro tip = be ready to ad spices to the Pho mine was flavorless

Good is excellent! Duck is awesome! Sesame chicken is so nice and crispy! All have lots of flavor! The lady that served us is very friendly. If you want a feeling of home style cooking, I definitely recommend!

One of the best asian restaurants I have been too! Costumer service was amazing! The food was great do not judge off of pictures!

I Ordered what they advertised as "pho", dumplings, and beer. Food overall was okay, although extremely disappointed that I didn't taste any spice that was supposed to be used to make the broth. There were really no substance in the broth. The grilled pork ordered with the "noodle soup" they also called on the menu, wasn't too bad. Dumpling wasn't bad as well for this seemingly authentically advertised restaurant. What I didn't agree with is the 20% more or less tip that was mandated on your bill. It's not like it's a large group that you sit there for more than an hour. Although the people & server seem nice, I probably would not come back. I would likely travel downtown or some other places nearby to get something more authentic without paying for fees and services you did not volunteer.

Amazing. It was my first time having Pho. Awesome awesome awesome!!!! Meat was tender. Soup & noodles was flavorful

Ordered 2 lunch specials and 1 single spring roll and it was $28. The food was awfull. Shrimp in lobster sauce was egg roll mini shrimp, roast pork was made days before and was reheated and did not taste fresh. I would skip this place if you are considering eating here. It was a big disappointment.

Always fast and very tasty!!! It's around the corner from my office & delivers to my apt as well! Always our go to for Chinese!

Was craving roast pork and duck but didn't want to leave bed so Seamlessed from here one day. Never again Roast pork: 1/10. It didn't even taste like roast pork. In fact, there are no words for how it tasted. It was neither sweet nor salty nor savory. The texture was so strange like pork and styrofoam had a child. NOPE. Peking Duck: 2/10 This was ok as in it was edible. The duck was soggy instead of crispy and the fatty parts were chewy. The buns were actually not bad: moist and fluffy Delivery was timely, fast, accurate and included plenty of condiments and utensils!

Vietnamese food was very mediocre. My grilled chicken on vermicelli didn't have any mint leaves or ground peanuts. Mostly just iceberg lettuce. They added $.50 to my bill and said they were waiting for their new menus to come. They also automatically added .20% to my bill for gratuity. Sad place!

I have been ordering here for a couple of years and it was great. they moved location a few blocks away and everything changed. The spare rib was my go to but today the meat and the taste was very different. I was horrible and cost 5 dollars more. the wonton soup was not edible. The was oil on the top of the soup and the wontons were gummy. I threw the soup out . Its a completely different resturant

Have ordered many times. Good food. Great ribs but only 4 in a small order. Delivery is pretty quick.

I would say a solid 3 to 3 1/2 star experience. Sometimes when you're going to a Broadway show and because of traffic or whatever, you don't have a lot of time to eat. When the clock is ticking, this is the restaurant. Perfectly 'good' Chinese food prepared fresh, reasonably priced, and you can be in and out in enough time to catch your show. I'm not sure I'd make a special trip, but when in the neighborhood looking for a good meal, fast and a reasonable price, give it a shot.

I order from this place all the time and they are always a little late, but this time I have to say is the last straw that broke the camel's back. The main reason for this is not due to all their errors on this order but the absolute rude and un-remorseful attitude of this place. The lady on the phone who I'm assuming is the owner was unapologetic for making us wait over 2 hours for our order and hung up the phone on my wife. There are plenty of Chinese/Asian takeout places in New York City. Don't give your business here because they don't care about customer service. And that few times a year that your order will have errors or delays and you hope that the place cares to make it right, this place will not do anything and in fact they will be rude and unprofessional about it. You don't deserve that and they don't deserve to have your business. I'm Asian too and tried to be patient and tolerant (and even understand of the cultural and language barriers), but the way she handled this situation and treated me and my wife was uncalled for - you can translate bad behavior without understanding the language or culture. A true character of a person and business is when things get hard and how they handle that, and she showed me exactly who they are. The food taste like any other place. Nothing special, so go to a place where they are better with customer service and actually care. Plenty in NYC. Never ordering here again, avoid!

Delivery Review: It took prob about 45minutes for it to come. It was expected so my friend and I didn't feel it took too long. (Saturday afternoon around 1pm). Very nice delivery guy. Here's what we ordered: 1. Scallion pancakes ($6.25): Not worth it. It was tiny and basically a fried piece of dough. Scallions were mixed in for a sparkle of green, not much for flavor. 2. Crispy tofu with satay sauce ($13.95): We ordered it with a spicy level of HOT. Oh boy was it not even mildly spicy. It's almost as if we ordered it "not spicy!" With that being said, the dish itself was good. I'm sure the tofu would have been crispier if we were there so no minus points on that. The only veggie incorporated is broccoli. Also, the nice plus is that the sauce was in a different container so it didn't make the dish soggy when it came! Good looking out! Also came with a choice of brown or white rice. 3. Chicken Pho ($10.25) : Its on the menu as rice noodles with shredded chicken. Let's just say, don't order it thinking you're getting pho. It has a great soup base to it. BUT it's not pho. And the shredded chicken isn't the certain type shredded chicken I am in the hunt for! *sad face* 4. Chow fun lunch (with pork) ($9.45): This was good BUT I thought it overall had a very bland flavor. But everything was cooked great and it didn't seem super greasy which was nice. But it needed more punch in the flavor department. A plus is that it comes with a free can of soda or drink of choice! So overall, I wasn't too happy happy joy joy about this place. And wasn't worth the $51 dollar total (includes tip). But needless to say, we finished every dish. Would we be ordering back? Slim cha

Like that dude on "Mister Rogers", this place does have Speedy Delivery! I ordered in and got my food very quickly. It seemed hot and fresh and was reasonably priced. Sesame chicken was my order and usually that is a very flavorful dish. This was somewhat bland. Just nothing that stood out. It was fine, white rice was okay. The spring roll was ssuuuupppeeeerrrr greasy. I mean really greasy. I'd probably order here again if I thought about it. But it was nothing spectacular.

Love this restaurant! For the last month we stayed in NY, we had ordered from this place several times. The crispy wings were amazing! Very crispy outside and juicy inside. The roast duck, string bean and Singapore noodle were delicious too! And the delivery was always fast! Definitely one of our favorite Chinese restaurants in NY!

Restaurant was super clean and staff were so so friendly and accommodating! The food was excellent, quick, and there was something for everyone! I would go here again in a heartbeat!

An automatic tip was included in our bill without asking the Asian lady demanded one. They also served us expired ice cream would never will never come back. Food was mediocre would not recommend

The restaurant was across the street from our hotel, so we went there despite the low star reviews. To our surprise, the food was so good. We ordered curry and sweet and sour chicken with fried rice. The lunch special was a very good deal. The service was great as well. Highly recommend this place.

Horrible food. Very bland barely any seasonings. The service was not good at all. The servers were yelling at each other across the room. They were abrupt with the customers, not in a personal way just a matter of fact way I guess. We left most of the food untouched. we paid for our untouched meal and promptly left to go somewhere else. I order the shrimp spring rolls and there was the tiniest little shrimp in maybe one of the rolls. The rest were just lettuce and noodles wrapped in rice paper. I ordered a Vietnamese shrimp salad, but there was nothing Vietnamese about It. I would not come back here at all.

This review is strictly for deliveries as I have never eaten at the actual restaurant. I've been ordering for awhile here now. My usually orders can consist of the pho, roast duck/Pork with rice and veggies, and a few others. I can say that the packaging for the food is very neat and the portion size is great. The menu, as you can see from my selection, is pretty extensive and expands outside regular Chinese fast food. I think the food tastes great. My only gripe is that the delivery service can be frustrating as they always get lost trying to find my field office. I don't blame them since it's hardly a physical address but after 20+ deliveries in a few months you should've gotten down by now. Other than that I definitely recommend this place for delivery, especially if you're looking for other menu items outside tradition fast food Chinese.

Fast and accommodating service. Had the Peking duck and it was okay, not as good as any you would find in China Town but passable. Also tried the fish dish and this was good. Reasonably priced and good service.

Awesome chicken wings! The pan seared dumplings in garlic sauce we're super tasty. Service isn't friendly but it's fast. Fast. Fast. Clean place. The veggie soup was simply and hot. I tasted it after it got cold and it tasted like salt water. You must get the wings and my neighbor next table over said his shrimp pasta was amazing!

They have the best fried chicken wings in town. The Sesame Chicken is delicious. When I get sick I come here for a giant Won Ton soup and it always does me good! And their lunch specials cannot be beat!

I was walking around the area looking for some quick dinner and walked into this one. This was a pleasant surprise. The food was good, cheap and the service was great. Seriously surprised with the low ratings but I'd recommend it! If you want good and cheap this is the place! I ordered the roast duck, eggplant with garlic sauce, Singapore Mee fun, and general tao chicken. All was good!

Ordered pad thai lunch (comes with soda, not fried rice) for $9.45. It tasted like your average pad thai-- maybe a bit on the sweeter side, but it comes with spicy sauce on the side so you can adjust it accordingly. The serving was a healthy portion and included a LOT of shrimp. Delivery was about twenty minutes, which is super quick especially given that I ordered at around 11am (when most places are just opening up)!

I came here on Christmas Day. The staff was constantly rude throughout our time dining. Before we finished eating, the waiter was rushing us trying to clean the table and take our food. The food was mostly bland and very generic. However, the Pho was great. If you don't like Pho, don't come here.

The ribs and chinese broccoli are solid. Everything else is garbage. Avoid the roast duck and fried rice the only thing they're worthy of is the trash.

Just ate here; did not have a good experience. The hot n sour soup? Bland with no discernible taste. The dumplings? Came with a peanut sauce (not stated in menu), and tasted like rubber. The scallion pancakes? Greasy, bland, and overcooked. The general Tsos? The chicken was either too hard or too rubbery. Honestly the best part was the white rice...

This is a VERY dependable place when it comes to Chinese takeout/delivery in the HK area. The folks are fast and it's nice for once to deal with a Chinese delivery guy who isn't a total asshole or blames you tacitly for his life issues by greeting you with a scowl. The food itself is ok. You're not going to get gourmet stuff, but you're also not going to get dishes that are bottom of the barrel bad like in some other nasty takeout places. They also have some decent dinner combo specials, which is a nice departure from ordering overpriced a la carte in other places. They also have some Vietnamese options. While it's not really uber authentic, some of their stuff like the grilled pork chops or sauteed beef cubes are not bad. All in all a dependable neighborhood joint that is a solid three stars all around.

I didn't try much of the food, but the reason I picked this place for lunch was my insatiable craving for longan. It was so refreshing and tasty! I'm sure I'll get around to the actual food later, everything smelled delicious.

Can I give a 0 star?!! Coworker ordered from here for lunch... I didn't personally eat, taste or look at the quality of the food. But the experience of the delivery was horrendous!! I don't recommend you order delivery at all from here! The delivery man didn't know it was an business building; he's calling my coworker to come down, she goes down, he's not there. she comes back up. he calls again to yell/scream at her that he's downstairs/outside. she goes out again and doesn't see him. all the while, he's riding the elevator up calling/yelling/screaming at her that he's outside. I get into the same elevator as him, and he's pressing the 'close door' button like crazy, almost breaking it. Thinking that it'll get him to the floor quicker, cursing under his breath that everyone has to get off at this floor and that the elevator is so slow. I can't take it anymore, so I tell him off in chinese about being an ignorant asshole for being impatient and breaking the elevator and cursing at everyone. Now that kind of behavior, I would never ever want anyone to experience. So take my word, you're better off not ordering or eating at this place at all!

Ordered the Curry Chicken Noodle Soup and Chicken Noodle Soup (large size) for pick up and wasn't too happy about the Chicken Noodle Soup. It's more noodles and less soup. I know, I know! Why am I complaining? Well you know Chinese soups always set such high expectations with more broth/water and less noodles. This was the other way around, so may be our expectations were wrong! The curry chicken noodle soup on the other hand was really nice on flavor (a bit greasy to my liking) but taste wise really nice. The chicken was roasted. 1 thing that I did not like is the chicken is roasted with skin on. Not good if you don't like skin on your chicken! $19 for both, so price wise, quite decent!

Stopped in from getting into the city late. Ordered soup to go and it was amazing! Fast and easy!

We had the exact same experience as Gino Y below. I wish I had read that before we wandered into this shady place. The food was mediocre, but just as Gino, we were staying at the Hampton Inn across the street, so it was close by. We have encountered many restaurants in NYC that adds 18% gratuity, but it is clearly stated on the menu. This place, no. When we asked for our bill, that's when we saw a 25% GRATUITY added to our bill for our party of 4, 2 adults, 2 children. Oh and all food establishments in NYC are given Sanitary Inspection Grades. Most places post their ratings right up front. But of course, this place, they post theirs on the side window so that you could not see it until you enter the first door. And the RATING FOR THIS PLACE IS NOT AN A, they only have a B. DO NOT EAT HERE!

I rate this joint "R.G." for RUDE & GREEDY. I walk in. My tummy wasn't feeling too hot, so all I intended to order was rice soup and a pint of white rice. I stand at the counter for about 7 seconds before the lady behind it finds the strength to pull her eyes from her phone. Who knows - maybe a hot game of Mahjong? Anyways there was no smile, no - Hi, no - may I help you, just a silent stone cold stare like I should know the routine. Whatever. "I'd like a rice soup please" She shakes her head, "What you mean?" I mean - a rice soup. She still looks dumbfounded. You know chicken rice soup? Well same thing, but without the chicken. "Ok, but same price." (Whatever) "And I'll like a pint of white rice." "You want noodles for soup?" No I want nothing in my soup but rice please. "No - dry noodle in bag." Oh yeah, sure. "Ok 50 cent extra" Now I usually stop here for a quick wonton soup to go and the noodles are always free, but she informs me that its only free for wonton soup. Now I'm thinking - the damn wonton soup is only maybe a few dimes more expensive so where's the logic for this unjust discrimination against rice soup? It took all my self-control not to start chanting - NO NOODLES NO PEACE! NO NOODLES NO PEACE! So I tell her, "You're gonna charge me for chicken you're not gonna give me - and charge me 50 cents extra for a 2 cent bag of noodles?" I don't know whether the silent stare I got was - I'm too dumb to understand so I'll just stand her like an idiot in silence - or, but most likely it was, "F.U. me no give a s**t. My store . You pay you get. You don't pay - you don't get." So I told her cancel the soup and just give me the rice. I get it - with no napkins or utensils - which is what I always get with the wonton soup. Maybe she thought I was gonna crouch down in some alley behind the play Miss Saigon, just a few blocks off, and eat it with my hands while I cursed the American Dogs for all the dirty they did in the Nam? So I ask, received them begrudgingly, and split. IN SUMMATION: The only fortune that should be in every cookie any customer receives at this joint should read: IF YOU THINK THE SERVICE SUCKS - TAKE HEART - AT LEAST YOU'RE NOT MARRIED TO THE ONE BEHIND THE COUNTER!

Let me start off by saying, I ordered the Peking duck, a crispy pork chop, and a sautéed baby boy choy; and the best thing I tasted during that dinner was the complementary white rice. Firstly, service was terrible. And that was NOT complemented by the food since it was also nasty. People who think this restaurant has good has not eaten good Chinese food. They also FORCE a 17% gratitude on your bill, which was way more than I was willing to pay given my experience there. Usually a fancy restaurant will charge you a gratitude if you have over a certain amount of people. My entire bill was only 50something. This will be my last time here, and I certainly do not recommend anyone going.

Ordered their soup dumplings and pickled cabbage with shredded pork noodle soup. I found both satisfactory, especially since the location is within walking distance and doesn't require a schlep down to Chinatown for decent Chinese food. It's more of a hale and hearty style rather than spectacular, and way better than buffet style Chinese food. Prices are reasonable too for being in this part of town. ~$8.25 + tax and tip for a bowl of hot noodles that you can eat and be out in less than an hour. Much more my speed than the hyped up noodle restaurant around the corner, that requires a 2 hr wait for a table. Service was speedy, restaurant was clean, they accepted credit cards (I must've met the minimum), and the ingredients were fresh and natural. It took more than a minute for food to arrive on the table since they cooked it fresh. I'll be back for more. I'd suggest sticking with ordering menu items that are made from natural ingredients and sauces for the best choices.

Nice Asian fusion restaurant. They offer Chinese and Malaysian cuisines with authentic flavors. Nice to order delivery or eat in.

When I worked by Times Square, I'd always order their General Tso's Shrimp and Broccoli, and ask them to steam it and add brown rice. They always obliged with no problem, and that general tso's sauce is PHENOMENAL. Everyone in my office would order it. It was so good I'd ask for it on the side and keep it as a sauce for other foods. It's a bit pricey but I've never been disappointed in the food!
