Moon Kee Restaurant

Long overdue review. I discovered Moon Kee soon after they opened 2 yrs ago. My BFF lives on 103rd so it's just 2 blocks away. I can't believe there is an **authentic** Canto restaurant up here! I grew up in LA, lived in NY for 6 yrs and now in No CA. Yes I'm an ABC, but my husband was born in HK and I know good authentic Chinese food. They even have BBQ meat hanging in the windows and people yelling in Cantonese to each other, haha. Sign of authenticity in a dim sum place. The only "non-authentic" thing? It's very very clean, no food stains on the chairs or tables but I haven't seen the bathrooms (I know I'm risking offending some ppl on here...it's a *joke*). There are always lots of Chinese ppl in here too. I was hungry after flying in from CA and why spend $7 on a ham and cheese croissant heated in a microwave when you can have 3 gao choi gao (shrimp and chive dumpling) cooked fresh for the same price? Look at the size of the shrimp! And you can sit in a clean booth with a/c (it's 90 deg outside). They're really nice and weren't upset that I just ordered $7 worth of food. Very good service. I've been here ~7 times and everything has been excellent. The big test for me in any dim sum place is the wu gok (taro dumpling). Many reputable places have other excellent dishes but their wu gok tastes of ammonia meaning old taro. Or they're really oily. NOT here - they're crisp, made of fresh taro, and not oily at all. The dan tats (egg tarts) are perfect- flaky crisp dough. They just told me they are hand made here and the chef has over 30 yrs experience making dim sum. I told my friend about this place and now her family gets food from here all the time. Someone mentioned the prices- ummm look at where they are. And it's not more than what we spend in SF and some places in NY Chinatown.

It was our first time to dine in here, it was nice, staff are approachable and friendly, the bathroom is clean, its a big plus as always. My daughter and husband loved the shrimp shumai and dumplings it was made fresh and in house. Its a must try 5/5 The beef noodle noodle soup, it could have been better, i would rate it 3/5 Scallion pancake was a let down 1/5, the texture is off, we were hoping for a flaky chewy scallion pancake and their version is not my fave Coconut jelly 5/5 my daughter and i love it! Not too sweet, the texture is amazing

it’s a pretty solid place for chinese food. they have decent array of options. some of the meat dishes were a bit saltier than i liked but i really liked their congee.

Delicious and authentic Cantonese food on par with the best in Chinatown. Very friendly staff, clean and spacious environment. The Sunday dim sum carts serve up piping hot dishes. Come with friends and family for a feast or 2-3 dim sum dishes for a quick, healthy and delicious brunch.

Very delicious dim sum with fast and friendly service. We came here at 3pm on New Year’s Day, and it wasn’t super packed. Our first time trying authentic roast duck, we were surprised that it is served room temperature, so just a heads up for anyone ordering (it says it on the menu). The chicken congee was so delicious

Delicious dimsum. Friendly service. Big sharing portions for ordered meals. Dimsum was a winner.

The dim sum here is delicious. The best we’ve had in a long time. Everything was delicious. My favorite was the pork soup dumplings (d4). My wife’s favorite was the deep fried pork and shrimp mochi (d27). We also got the pan fried turnip cake (d25) and it was amazing. The sticky rice with pork in lotus leaf (d7) was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. We also got the roast pork rice roll (d20) it was great too. Honestly, everything was great here. Very friendly employees too!

Moon Kee has authentic Cantonese dishes. The Clay Pot Rice is a must try with delicious roast pork and rice that crisps up on the side. The Seafood pan fried noodles were crispy and the seafood mix was fresh. The salt and pepper pork chops were perfectly fried. The service was very good as both the owner and wait staff gave recommendations as to what to try. They also had hot tea which was perfect for the cold day.

Love dim sum Saturdays! My favorite is the pork pineapple bun. The staff are great too. A must visit.

Side notes: Rating is for the area only. If this was located in any of the three Chinatowns, I presume the prices would be around half but the quality was good and much better than expected for dim sum especially in this neighborhood. For dim sum, I would recommend the siu mai, pork/shrimp chive dumplings, steamed bean curd roll with pork, and fried turnip cakes the most along with the stuffed long hot pepper if you want something that's spicy. Otherwise, the sauteed spicy string beans were outstanding. I went here with a group a while ago. I was surprised to find a dim sum spot like this on the UWS/in the outskirts of Manhattan Valley. The space is large. We shared the following and I'll note a bit about each as we ordered a lot of dim sum primarily separating them by category ordering them by preference per section. Steamed/Boiled- D2 Signature Pork & Shrimp Sui Mai- $8 for 4. They listed these as their signature and I can see why as this was easily the best. Very plump large sui mai and honestly worth it for the price regardless of area. D16 Steamed Bean Curd Roll With Pork $7. Sold version with tender bean curd and bit of fattiness from the pork. Side note this is also available fried with minced shrimp for $8 (D34.) D1 Crystal Shrimp Dumplings/Har Gow- $8. A bit pricey but a nice thin dumpling wrapper with plump shrimp inside. D12 Steamed Pork & Peanut Fun Guo- $7. Interesting soft texture. Not my favorite as it was a bit blander but I am usually am not the biggest fan of fun guo so take that with a grain of salt. D6 Steamed Spare Rib Tips With Black Bean Sauce- $7. A bit boney as expected and the black bean sauce could have been a bit stronger. Just alright. Fried- D26 Pan Fried Pork & Shrimp Chives Dumplings- $7. Nice flavor from the chives and again with good bouncy shrimp. These were very tasty and my second favorite. D25 Pan Fried Turnip Cakes With Pork- $7. Excellent texture for these. A bit above average. Could have used a bit more pork within the turnip cakes. D31 Stuffed Long Hot Pepper With Minced Shrimp (Spicy-) $8. Surprisingly spicy for a Canto spot. Well flavored with fun textures. D32 Pan Fried Pork Dumplings- $8. Pretty standard and moderately juicy with a pretty good feeling but not as worth it for the price point. D24 Pan Fried Rice Rolls W/Dried Shrimp- $8. Cheung Fun could have been a bit more bouncy but they were decent but a bit pricey compared to most things. Other- V2 Sauteed String Beans in Spicy- $16. Excellent string beans. Perfectly cooked with a bit of char and the pickled veggies were a nice touch. Would highly recommend if you want a veggie side. V1 Poached Choy Sum With Oyster Sauce- $14. Standard version as found in other good Canto spots. Decent portion. E1 Original Clay Pot Rice With Preserved Pork, Duck, and Chinese Sausage $18. Wouldn't recommend their bo zai fan much outside of the amount of preserved meat as there wasn't much duck. The rice while crispy lacked the flavors I expected from this dish. This was a surprisingly tasty Cantonese spot with a couple standouts as noted. I wouldn't mind going back at all and trying more things. Mid 3/upper 3 for the area.

We visited before the lunch rush, so it was not busy when we arrived. It got lively about the time we left. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with warm welcome immediately by a staff. We got a nice booth seat, and a staff brought us complimentary hot Jasmin tea for us. We ordered a few things to share. One of them was from a Lunch Special Menu, that comes white rice, Vegetable Spring Roll, and choice of a soup. We went with Egg Drop Soup with Sweet Corn. Our choice of the main was Sauteed Bok Choy with Garlic. It had loads of garlic and tasty. The lunch special is a really great deal. Crystal Shrimp Dumplings. The wrapper was shiny, and slightly see-through. Each dumpling holding one large, super plump shrimp inside. It was pretty darn good. Roast Pork Rice Roll. It was really good with pork that is packed with flavor. Pan-Fried Pork & Shrimp Chives Dumpling had a nice crispy top, but still plump and mochi-y. It was satisfying and comforting. Stuffed Eggplant with Mince Shrimp looked interesting, and different from what I expected. In the middle were bits of shrimp, kind of sandwiched between two ends of the eggplant. Not really "stuffed" but it was still really good! Deep Fried Pork & Dry Shrimp Mochi was very crispy, doughy like mochi, with sweet flavor. The filling was juicy and delicious! We had a really nice lunch here. The staffs were very efficient and friendly. We enjoyed every dish we ordered, and the price was great too. We would definitely go back again.

They are pumping out orders and takeout orders here! Service was extremely quick! Honestly the food just seemed to be lacking a deep flavor for a lot of the stuff. The broth felt old and had no flavor while the fuck and wontons were just bland. The noodles didn't wow me either. Didn't take a picture but the soup dumplings were fine, with the black vinegar it made them significantly better. Super cheap for what we got just didn't blow me away!

We went on Lunar New Year's day, and it was so busy. The staff was working rigorously to take and deliver orders. The restaurant was packed, but it didn't take us very long to get a table for 5 people (15-20min) at prime dinnertime (~7pm). The food was delicious and prices were decent for the Upper West Side. There were some dim sum options that we wanted to have but were only available on the weekend. It was quite noisy and service was also very slow due to the fact that it was on a major holiday. We had to keep flagging the servers to place our order, get the bill, pay, etc. However, I think this is a good place to get Hong Kong style foods and it's good for groups.

One of the best Singaporean curry favor rice noodle I ever had. The large amount of food is good for two meals. The staff members were polite and friendly. Well-decorated and clean. I am a frequent customer for last two years. This is the most authentic Cantonese restaurant on Upper West Side.

It's great to see a cart dim sum place in the UWS. I believe they only do it on the weekends though. In terms of food, I think it's pretty darn good. It hit my dim sum spot, and I even felt the need to take a post dim sum nap. I can't stress enough how happy I am to have a dim sum place like this in the area. I highly recommend. I think it's better than Jing fong. It's a shame Jing fong had to downsize during covid. They used to be the best dim sum spot when they were in Chinatown.

Eaten here a bunch of times, with others. So glad it's here. Sticky rice, Shu Mai (both kinds), har gau, rice roll, turnip cake--all very solid. Char siu noodle soup was also good. Eaten a lot of dim sum elsewhere, good and bad. This is very solid. The staff are courteous and very prompt. They seem all business but they care and work hard. It's not too loud, but it has some of the dim sum bustle, complete with carts. It's not dirt cheap but you can easily find more expensive dim sum that's not as good.

Food 7/10 Recently opened, a decent dimsum spot in the UWS. Nothing mindblowing and bao zi buns were definitely frozen before. We got the duck clay pot 煲仔饭, snow peas 豆苗, and for dimsum, the salted egg yolk bun 流沙包, roasted pork bun 叉烧包, and the shrimp rice rolls 肠粉. The salted egg yolk bun is always fire. Everything else was solid. Atmosphere 7/10 Very clean and nice interior, plenty of large and small tables. Cool open kitchen at the front. Service 9/10 Speedy and friendly

Pretty legit dim sum for the upper west side, even though we were the only Chinese customers in the entire restaurant (and yeah, the clientele was almost exclusively non-Asian throughout our dining experience, which might be due to our area). The staff do speak Cantonese at least, and of course, enough English. Quite spacious inside, and room for about 70-80 people with booths and tables; the tables do get crowded because of all the food and unfortunately, they don't have lazy susans for the round table. The interior is fairly fancy and clean. If you're new to ordering dim sum, you can order from the menu, or from the carts that roll around. Don't be shy about asking what everything is, or ordering in bulk! Food-wise, though it's authentic, it's not as flavorful or tasty as Chinatown or Flushing, and can't hold a candle to what I'm used to back in SF. It's all quite fresh though. I'd recommend the cha siu bo lo baos (pineapple topping bun with bbq pork filling inside) and the clay pot rice, which contains foong jao (chicken feet), pai guat (sparerib), egg, and American broccoli - don't forget to eat the scorched rice at the bottom! Overall, I'd definitely go back again. They even serve won ton mein (dumpling noodle).

This newcomer -- less than six months old -- serves the most authentic, well made dim sum you'll find on the UWS and probably in northern Manhattan. We had to order our food for takeout since we were in transit (as always), but the restaurant was so pleasant inside, cozy, clean, and family friendly that we wouldn't mind coming back for an eat-in meal. - Steamed bean curd roll with pork ($8) -- This was really the dish that drew me here. I recently bought a package of yuba sheets and, wanting to replicate this old dim sum favorite, needed a good specimen of steamed bean curd roll to dissect. Moon Kee's version did not disappoint. The yuba skin wrapping was just the right combination of firm and tender, while the innards were fetchingly stuffed with bamboo shoots and tender ground pork in good balance. The three rolls we received in the order were perfectly seasoned and did not need the additional sauce that was provided. - Pan fried turnip cake with pork ($7) -- Really well-made pan fried turnip cakes make my heart go pitter patter. Perhaps in part because we weren't able to eat these immediately, I found Moon Kee's version to be good -- certainly the best I've had on the UWS -- but not stellar. Sadly, they were missing the beautiful, caramelized pan-crusted exterior I so enjoy. (It's sort of like having quick, shortcut paella with no socarrat: potentially fine.... but the socarrat makes is so very much better!!.) Little chunks of daikon radish added some pleasant textural contrast. I really didn't need or want the pork (diced roasted pork), which for me was just a distraction from gently sweet, creamy daikon whose more acrid, radishy elements had been beautifully tempered by heat. I would love to see a vegetarian version on the menu -- and next time we are certainly going to order these while dining in. - Minced beef and roasted pork rice rolls ($8 each) -- These were the only dishes we tried that I probably wouldn't order again unless I found myself unable to go to Cozy Rice in midtown. Moon Kee's version had a pleasantly slippery, chewy texture, thankfully very different from the stiff, thick, manicotti-like specimens I recently tried at Ho Won. But they must have been double the thickness of the rolls served at Cozy Rice or Yin Ji Chang Feng and of course were not nearly as tender. I didn't personally love the roasted pork filling (too indelicate) or the minced beef filling, which had fused into a solid layer, but neither was outside the realm of good standard fare. Rice rolls / cheung fun (or however one Romanizes this) are really something you have to get at a specialty vendor, I'm starting to realize. - Steamed sticky rice and pork in lotus leaf ($8) -- Alright. I'm a sucker for anything steamed and wrapped in a leaf, it seems: tamales, zongzi, and of course these lo mai gai, as well. Instead of the banana leaves used for zongzi, lo mai gai is wrapped in lotus leaves, which imparts its own, lovely fragrance and flavors to the glutinous rice as it steams inside. This version was, in the Cantonese fashion, not heavily seasoned, the rice left white rather than darkened with soy sauce or other seasonings. The stuffing was similarly straightforward, including only two ingredients: diced roast pork (which seems to be in every menu item!!) and Chinese sausage / xian chang. I am personally a fan of a mushroom-heavy lo mai gai, but this version was enjoyable, the all-important rice flavorful and well prepared. Moon Kee does not serve the absolute best dim sum to be had in NYC, but this kitchen seems to be quite competent and authentic, down to the ducks hanging in the window up front. And it certainly beats the pants off of anyplace else I can think of on the UWS (Dim Sum Bloom, Shun Lee, Red Farm, the late Jing Fong, etc...) We look forward to coming again.

So happy having Moon Kee in my neighborhood. Why waste the time to travel down to Chinatown or Flushing, when we have Moon Kee in the neighborhood. This neighborhood gem is cleaner than the restaurants in Chinatown. The foods deserve 5 starts ,customer service is very good as well. I wish them a great success . The food quality has Not yet disappoint me. Came here myself then have returned couple of times with friends, this is my "to go" place whenever I am craving for authentic ( Cantonese ) chinese dishes.

Uptown Dim Sum on a snowy day! Does not get better at Moon Kee Location: Along Broadway in the upper upper west side, there are two dim sum places along with Dim Sum Bloom, we choose this location because it opened earlier. We got a blue booth in the back which was very spacious. I like the modern design. The owner/manager was very welcoming and told us how we should enjoy the snow since it is has been so long since it snowed last. He was not wrong on this point and appreciated his candor. Food: Pork Mochi steamed bun/dumplings were a winner for me. The eggplant shrimp fried item was also tasty and unique. Since it was a weekday lunch time, we ordered the bokchoy which came with rice and egg drop soup. We also had some other dumplings steamed and fried. I loved all of the food. Service: The service is quick and efficient. They were attentive and quick to served the whole time. They were super friendly too. Overall: If I don't want to go downtown or to Flushing, Moon Kee is a solid option. Kudos to the staff and manager.

Tried some new things: - clay pot rice w duck and sausage: 3.5/5, probably because we got takeout. Need to try in the restaurant - chicken rice noodles: 5/5 I LOVED this prob bc it reminds me of my mom - sesame chicken: 4./5 came with a sweet orange-y sauce and broccoli, more Americanized Chinese food, but I liked it - har gao: 2/5 kind of flavorless??? - pork siu mai: 4/5 standard fare - beef chow fun: 4/5 tasty! Didn't notice it was super oily so that's great

We should consider ourselves lucky that Moon Kee decided to bring their dim sum and roasted meats to the UWS. It may add up, all these treats you wish to have but it's the real deal. Enjoyed the roast duck and pork combo, and was impressed by the pan fried turnip cakes on my first outing. Comfortable booths. Friendly, welcoming service.

So happy this place opened up in this area! the dim sum here is really good and it's so reasonably priced. They also have a lunch special for $14 and you seriously can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The owner is so kind and everyone who works there is also very sweet and hardworking! Very much appreciate coming here and really love the food!

Great menu, lots of variety, delicious dishes, lovely service. We sat and enjoyed our meal without being rushed. Lovely!

We tried a few items off the dim sum menu that were excellent , the spicy long hots were kicked up spicy and very good , then the won ton soup which was steaming hot, very tasty , a bowl that could feed 4 easily and last was a very big portion of Singapore rice noodles which topped off our excellent dinner, service was extremely attentive the place hops and is quite popular so a reservation may be necessary at peak times we would definitely return to try other options off their extensive menu

I'm so glad that I don't have to travel all the way down to chinatown anymore to get a weekly fix of great Cantonese food! Moon Kee has great ambience and a great selection of Cantonese classics. They have high quality Char Siu, and also roasted duck. They also have dimsum, wonton noodles, and more. The staff are really nice, and the food is definitely really good. The stone pot is a must try. The rice is perfectly textured with some of the well known burnt crispy rice at the bottom. I'll definitely be coming here a lot more often!

The past few years have been good to the Upper West Side with a big uptick in restaurant openings and far more options across a lot of cuisine. I'm from the Bay Area and was spoiled with fantastic options across the price spectrum for Hunanese, Cantonese, Sichuanese and beyond just within walking distance, which is certainly possible in some parts of NYC too but UWS spots are not always as easy to come by. There have been a few very good new Chinese spots, both dim sum and Szechuan in the 90s or 100s but when I saw Moon Kee I had to give it a try because I'm a sucker for Cantonese/HK style and boy... it delivers and then some! This may be the best Chinese, regardless of regional preference in terms of pure excellence, I've ever had. The "authentic beef chow fun" is absolutely unbelievable, it's not a dish I normally order but gave it a shot because it was so popular and WOW. Fantastic, will be back and soon.

We went back a 2nd time and food was great once again ! BUT still no Hot Oil - they offered us hot sauce kinda like sambal sauce! Please get hot oil in sure others will love it as well. Also, I'm not sure who the manager dude is but he talks waaay too LOUD (almost screaming) and it's a bit obnoxious! He was screaming and yelling at his waiters and we felt so bad for them to work in that kinda environment. I know this may be a cultural thing but got dang please calm down and quiet down. Secondly at one point he was screaming so loud it gave us a shock. We thought a fight broke out ! Please have that manager guy calm down and speak normally for the sake of the vibe! Starting to love this place ! FOOD IS bussin' !!!

Best dim sum and Cantonese food in the Upper West Side! As a Hong Konger, I can confirm that this place is legit!! Siu Mai and rice roll are the best! The beef chow fun is also full of wok hey! Wish they would serve Hong Kong milk tea and lemon tea in the future! :)

After reading the reviews, I've been wanting to give this place a try. Hubs was happy to hear that there was a restaurant that serves claypot in the Upper West Side. We were immediately seated after checking in. The restaurant is small, with light brown wooden panels making up the top halves of the walls and dark blue rectangular tiles making up the bottom halves. Sconces hang near the ceiling and round white tables cover the center of the restaurant while booths line the leftmost side and regular tables line the rightmost side. Eclectic chandeliers hang over the middle of the restaurant and light-up Chinese symbols hang over the entrance to the kitchen. Daughter ordered minced beef rice roll and she liked it a lot. She thought it was delicious and that it tasted a lot like the rice rolls that she's had in the past. Hubs liked it a lot, also. We had the Chinese Sausage and Roast Duck Claypot Rice. Hubs loved the roast duck and thought it was nicely cooked. He said that the kitchen managed to keep the duck from overcooking in the casserole boat. He said that it was moist and delicate and that the skin was crisp y Lastly, we had the Assorted Seafood Pan-Fried Noodles. This was hubs' favorite dish of the night. He said that all of the seafood was perfectly done and not overcooked. They were generous with the scallops. He said that he wished that this place was available when he was a youngster. LOL. Parking was a little difficult to find but we managed to find metered parking in front of the restaurant. Service was quick and friendly. Will definitely return when in the area to try other items on the menu.

I enjoyed H.K. food, including duck clay pot, snow peas, and some dim sum. Overall, I'd definitely go back again. They even serve wonton mein dumpling noodles.

They have a flying bug issue. Had to strike it with my chopsticks. Got the kill and the another flying brother come nagging us while trying to focus on our food

The claypot rice is the best thing I've had all week. Incredibly authentic flavors and the rice was crispy - even in takeout form! Will definitely be back to try the dim sum.

Little Chinatown in upper west side Good duck soup and dumplings. Not an up class place. Good lunch or weekend spot

Wow!!! This place is amazing. It's really hard to find good Chinese restaurants in Uptown but I give this a 10/10. Freshest dimsum I've had in Manhattan, even better than Jing Fong. Staff are super friendly. Everything tastes amazing. Will be our go to spot now

Great variety of dim sum, the best Chinese comfort food and they all taste so delicious! can't go back to Tim Ho Wan anymore, the quality and price is amazing here!

Fresh and delicious! We ordered a number of dim sums including turnip cakes, pork shu mai, chicken feet, beef rice rolls, chives dumplings, mochi pork dumpling and a beef chow fun. It was their grand opening so it was very unique to see the presentation to bless the business! Will definitely come back for more dim sum and clay pots and noodle!

Very authentic Cantonese restaurant, a welcome addition to the UWS. No need to go to Chinatown/Flushing for great Cantonese food anymore, they serve several of the standard dishes and make them really well. Some dishes I enjoyed: - Clay pot rice with chinese sausage + duck - Authentic beef chow fun (as the name implies, it's the authentic Cantonese version with a lot of wok-hey flavor) - Crispy salt and pepper pork chop - Jumbo Shrimp with honey walnut - Wonton noodle soup - Shrimp rice rolls - Sweet egg roll buns (aka salted egg yolk lava buns) - great as a dessert!

I have ordered takeout from this establishment twice already and it has not disappointed. The food is the best Chinese food I've had in a long time especially on the UWS. The food tastes so fresh. The staff always greet me with a smile on their face and the ambiance of the inside is very nice. Can't wait to dine in!

I rarely write negative reviews and am not a picky eater but have to say I am very surprised by all the raves on this place. Maybe I just ordered the wrong dish? Had the Signature shrimp and pork wonton noodle soup and it was disgusting -- horrible tasting broth, putrid wontons, like something approaching prison food. I live nearby but never again, glad others had a positive experience...

Crazy that such a solid dim sum place just exists in the middle of the upper west side. Moon Kee definitely has the authentic flavors and at a competitive pricepoint, at least for the neighborhood. Service was fast - I'm tempted to take a trek up here on a weekend for the cart dim sum.

We ordered wonton noodle soup, claypot rice and custard egg buns. Everything was delicious and the duck was one of the best ducks I had

The place is clean, new, and tables well spaced. The service is friendly, but there are language problems when answering questions. The food is fresh, abundant, and tasty. The fried vegetable dumplings were a bit thicker than usual, but good. The crispy beef was flavorful. The complimentary hot tea was good. The noodle soup with bamboo noodles and shrimp/pork dumplings were good. We will come back to try some other dishes. We noticed no liquor license or a list for beverages.

Food: One of the best Cantonese style meals on the UWS. We tried a variety of dishes. Dim sum: pork siu mai, shrimp siu mai, har gow, steam roasted pork bun, and soup dumplings. The har gow's flavor was close to our favorite dim sum restaurant in Chinatown and Hong Kong! So, we'll be ordering that again. All the dim sum dishes had large portions and prices were comparable to restaurants around the area and tasted pretty good. We'll go back to try the chicken feet, rice rolls, and steamed veggies for the full dim sum experience. As for the entrees, the salt and pepper calamari, salt and pepper pork Peking style, and duck were fantastic! Again, portions were great for the price and the flavors were what we're used to when we're looking for Cantonese style Chinese food. We did have the wonton mi and wasn't a fan of the broth but it didn't stop us from devouring the delicious wontons! We will be coming back and ordering more to get try other dishes. Service: The owner stopped by the tables to gauge everyone's experience, so he clearly cares about the quality of food they produce. The waiters were constantly coming around filling water and extremely efficient, which again, is a very HK feel! Ambiance: clean and new. Large round tables for sharing with a lazy susan, booths, and regular tables! I LOVE IT and am so happy to have this on the UWS!

Wow. We ordered dinner this evening to pick up as we live a few blocks away and thought we would try this new restaurant. It was absolutely outstanding. The shrimp and pork won ton soup was among the best I have had. And my husband raved about the hot and sour soup. The main dishes were equally outstanding with subtle blending of flavors, superb ingredients. Even the rice was perfectly cooked with each grain of rice separate. We still love our go-to neighborhood favorites of Atlas and Szechuan Garden but this will be our go-to place for Hong Kong/Cantonese food as good as we have eaten any where.

This authentic Chinese restaurant is right out of Hong Kong and into the Upper West Side, luckily for us! The food is great - especially the soy sauce chicken, fish congee, beef with black bean sauce, soups and dim sum. Everyone is really friendly and the establishment is accessible. You can ask for less salt and oil if you prefer your food light.

Noisy as can be--no sound baffling. Food: shrimp and pork wonton had strange, unpleasant taste while soup itself had no taste. Hot and sour soup too vinegary. Roast pork Tough. We will not repeat​

This place is crazy and chaotic. Seems everyone is shouting at delivery men or at each other. The lights are bright. The room is large. It feels like you're in a very busy industrial cafeteria. The place obviously does a massive delivery business so it feels like you're caught in the production line. Total madness. I wouldn't come and eat-in again. It's too stressful. The phones are ringing. Plates are being stacked too loudly. The chefs are shouting orders. Pots and pans clanging. Customers trying to talk above all the noise. It's a madhouse. A zoo. Also as an eat-in customer, the food seems to take way longer than it should. The manic waiter came to my table twice to confirm my order. I'm so tempted to get up and walk away. I ordered an $18 serving of Beef Lo Fun. It can easily feed three. It's def fresh but not as tasty as it looks. And the chili oil I asked for blew my mouth up. It should come with a warning. I also ordered the pork soup dumplings. They are served scalding hot. Too hot to eat for at least 8 minutes. And two is enough for one person. They come in a serving of 4. They aren't bad. Not a must-have. But ok. Bottom line I'd never come here again but I might order in from here one night. I think this is a busy enough kitchen to ensure everything is very fresh. And they are serving authentic chinese food. Good luck.

Finally, a good dim sum place on the UWS! We enjoyed that each dish was made to order: the spring rolls, shu mai and roast pork buns were all delicious. We also thoroughly enjoyed the signature wonton noodle soup. Will come back again : )

Authentic Chinese food Order takeout although while I was waiting for my food it looked as if I dined in portions would have been enough to eat there a still have enough food for another meal. Nice atmosphere clean.

Food was excellent. Only disappointed with their hot and sour soup. Service was great. They always refilled the water and tea. The owner is very bubbly and friendly Ambiance was okay... they sat us near the door, each time the door opened/closed we felt the harsh cold wind! But you come for the food, we were extremely satisfied.

Two words: Food poisoning. Restaurant credited me back two days later but I was very sick. Something happened because most reviews are good for this place.

Extensive dim sum menu, which I was excited about. But overall, the food is pretty greasy and salty. Service was efficient. The place is SO loud if there are multiple tables dining, and the vibe is more like cafeteria than sit-down restaurant.

I found this place and was hoping their roast pork would be tender, moist and not all drowned in sauce. I was right and it was just what I needed to add to my own stir fried dishes. Hooray... but not so fast... I ordered half pound. I took out my digital scale to cut into 2, 4 oz portions and it was 2 oz light. Ok it can happen. But then it happened two more times and it was close to 3 oz short! Plus the quality of the 3rd order was not great. Ugh. I'm not shy about confronting merchants on quality but I sincerely doubt they would be amenable to the light weight Issue. So this is to notify the owners that I am open to a no questions asked half pound at no charge. If you feel I am not be honest, that's Ok. Ollie's on the Go just happens to have good roast pork. Hooray!

This restaurant is an amazing addition to the neighborhood! The food is authentic, fresh, hot, and tasty. I really enjoyed the claypot rice! Will definitely be back to try more entrees and the roast bbq specialties. So happy we no longer have to trek down to Chinatown for authentic HK food.

Eating here after a hot day feels so good. The bun on the 2nd picture (idk what it's called) and the chicken feet is SO GOOD! I would recommend going here if you want good quality dimsum
