Tang By Mr Sun 唐

Had a great dinner at Tang by Mr. Sun! We ordered the lychee shrimp balls, oxtail, salt & pepper shrimp, and lobster fried rice — everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The lychee shrimp balls were a standout, and the oxtail was tender and rich. The staff was friendly and the place has a nice, lively vibe with modern décor. Perfect spot for sharing dishes with friends or family. We’ll definitely be back to try more!

I had such a wonderful experience here! The food was amazing but what really made it special was our server Nicole, shes got such a warm smile and positive energy that makes you feel welcome plus she genuinely cared that we had a great time. Easily one of the best dinning experiences I've ever had In a long time!

Excellent food, especially the savory dishes. Each of the five flavor soup dumplings had a unique and intense flavor, and they were quite plump. The passion fruit prawns were perfectly cooked and delicious. The veggies in curry all kept their intense flavor, the curry was addictive, and the scallion pancake was crispy and very enjoyable. The cheesecake for dessert was good, but unremarkable, in fact the sauce was a bit too sweet and took away from the cheese. The staff was very attentive, and the decoration is simple but very pleasant.

The elevated cuisine and presentation make Tang by Mr. Sun one of the nicer Chinese restaurants in the neighborhood. Their happy hour menu (3 generous courses for $30 plus tax) is no ordinary lunch special. The Tang salad had a lip-puckering brightness. The rock shrimp tempura and the crispy hot and sour beef were both scrumptious. The duck spring rolls are a must-try. The only blemish on this rating is the inadequate air conditioning in an otherwise sophisticated space.

I had such a magical experience celebrating my birthday at Tang. Everything exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere, the scenery, and even the menus were thoughtfully curated. I especially loved the presentation of the lychee shrimp appetizer. What truly made this a 10/10 experience was Oscar, the host! He was personable, attentive, and always willing to hear feedback to make the experience even more enjoyable. I can honestly say I actually had fun! I don’t think I’ve ever described dining out as “fun” before. I truly wasn’t ready to leave! I can’t wait to go back.

Outstanding experience dining here! The restaurant itself is gorgeous with beautiful details like the menu and settings. The drinks are amazing - beautiful presentation and tasted delicious! The presentation of the lychee shrimp balls is so fun! The lobster shumai was also a yummy appetizer. Really enjoyed the medallions and broccoli and the fried rice! Topped it off with the chocolate lava cake! The service is very attentive and kind. Highly recommend trying it!

The food was delicious! We really enjoyed the service and atmosphere. The presentation of the lychee shrimp ball was stunning! It is super pretty inside! Really loved the duck and short rib bao. Will be back!

I went with my teen daughter for lunch and EVERYthing was amazing! Great food, atmosphere & service. I highly recommend the sweet & sour chicken, veggie fried rice & the guava mango flute was better than delicious! Special thanks to Chris and Ahmad for great service.

My family had an absolutely phenomenal dining experience here. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, elegant, and inviting -- the perfect balance of upscale yet comfortable. It's fusion Chinese Food. Great for celebrations. Our server, Angel, went above and beyond with attentive, friendly, and professional service. He anticipated our needs, made great recommendations, and truly elevated the experience. He even made me espresso coffee exactly to my taste. The food was nothing short of outstanding. The Filet Mignon was perfectly cooked, melt-in-your-mouth tender, and seasoned with incredible depth of flavor. The Kung Pao Chicken was one of the best we've ever had -- a perfect balance of spice, crunch from the peanuts, and freshness from the snap peas and peppers. Every bite was packed with flavor and texture. We finished the meal with a dessert that was not only delicious but also beautifully plated -- creative presentation that made it feel like art on the plate, and the flavors matched the beauty. Pairing everything with a rich espresso, served in elegant gold-trimmed china, made the entire meal feel special. This restaurant delivers on every level: service, quality, ambiance, and presentation. Highly recommended, and we will definitely be back!

Located in the E 80's, this comfortably elegant UES restaurant w/ an overpriced wannabe elevated Chinese Cantonese menu that's neither fusion nor Americanized Chinese cuisine serves up above-average dishes w/ fresh quality ingredients. However, most of the dishes we tried lacked seasoning, refinement & "wok Hei" - that charred texture / aroma that cloaks piping-hot stir-fries - which is the foundation of most decent Chinese Canto dishes. Black Pepper Steak sauce was weirdly too sweet but the beef quality was good. Sautéed string beans were bland & didn't have that nice char, which is what makes the dish shine & is indicative of poor "wok hei" skills. Fried Lobster in garlic -although fresh- had too much batter & was also pretty bland. And although presented in a gimmicky way, Lychee Shrimp balls were creatively executed. They were decent but served w/ the wrong sauce. Perhaps, a sauce w/ a bit more acidity & spice would've been a better complement to seafood. Overall, we liked that each dish had fresh quality ingredients, which is usually harder to come by at Chinese restaurants on the UES. Hence, the 3.75-star Yelp rating. Hopefully, they can work it out & focus on executing more authentic Cantonese flavors & hiring a chef who knows how to cook w/ "wok Hei." And we'll be back to try more dishes.

Service was great, ambiance is lovely, both set you up to experience a gastronomic phenomenon that just does not occur. The chicken potstickers skin was tough and dry but the flavor profile of the dumpling itself was delicious. The Kung Pao chicken and bokchoy in garlic sauce were okay but nothing to write home about. I guess if the place didn't raise expectations through its aesthetic and story you wouldn't be as let down but it was really disappointing to me. I wouldn't recommend it.

I went here on a girls night birthday dinner last week and currently the place is located under scaffolding. There are two spots to sit for a more fancier setting. I requested the corner table under the chubby or rather bubbly or youth like Mona Lisa portrait but that table required at least 6 people. We were only a party of 4, therefore, we opted for the mushroom flower tree background. There was no cocktail menu due to their liquor license of only beer and wine. I was fine with that. I started with the I love Lychee mocktail. For appetizers we shared the truffle mushroom and lychee shrimp. The lychee shrimp is must order just for a social media video. Both dishes were amazing and worth ordering at least once. For the entrees we shared the passion fruit tiger Prawns, curry Veggies with Scallion pancakes, sautéed green beans, king crab udon, succulent branzino and salt and pepper shrimp. Everything tasted amazing and portions were generous. I also had a glass of sancerre. For dessert, we shared the limoncello truffle and chocolate for my friend's birthday. I will definitely return to try other items on the menu. For the amount of food and drinks we ordered, it was definitely affordable compared to other upscale Asian cuisine.

This our second time here. The first time we came a month ago we had the lychee shrimp balls and the dumplings for appetizers. The dumplings were unfortunately not vey good and the lychee shrimp balls were decent. We had the half Peking duck which was good. We had dinner tonight here and we had the chicken satay which was not good at all with a heavy sauce on top. The lychee shrimp balls were good. The Peking duck was not very appetizing it was full of bones. Will not be going back b

Delicious food, fantastic service. Ask for Christian! Super nice guy with great recommendations

Small portion, 4.50 for a small container of rice as rice must be ordered separately. Not a fan. I'm sure the lobster dishes are great but out of my budget . No crunchy noodles with a hot and sour soup that was mushroom heavy, tofu would have been appreciated.

Lunch date with my sister after a trip to the Met: The location on 3rd Ave is very unassuming even being on the UES. When you walk in to what you think is just a basic Chinese restaurant, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the decor/ambience. Rubel was an amazing guide through the menu and made pointed suggestions. The food was more than filling - even the happy hour menu - with the only set back being that they do not have the full bar. The cute cocktails on their IG page are not at this location but you can find beer, wine and Prosecco if you need a drink drink. Overall, highly recommend.

Pecking duck: 4/5 Hot and Sour Beef: 3/5 I pass by this restaurant a lot and finally had the chance to try it! We got seated immediately and were the only table in the restaurant. The restaurant felt fairly upscale, the decor was really nice and could see this being a special occasions type restaurant. But the food we got kinda gave Panda Express..? The hot and sour beef felt like it only had breading inside, and didn't feel like it was worth the price at all. It is also worth to note rice is not included with main entrees. The pecking duck was delicious though -- the crepe wrap felt a bit thick but the duck was well cooked. Overall, felt mixed about this place but our server was really nice! Would come back when I have a pecking duck craving.

The food and service were amazing. We came her as guests for a bridal shower celebration. This is Chinese food ELEVATED. Everything was delicious. We especially enjoyed the rock shrimp and the spring rolls.

Fantastic experience at Tang By Mr Sun. The sweet and sour chicken stood out--tender chicken breast, lightly crisped, with a bright, flavorful sauce that wasn't overly sweet. The fried rice was exactly the kind you want to eat by the spoonful--perfectly seasoned, not too oily, and incredibly satisfying. Also loved the crispy shrimp--lightly battered, piping hot, and super fresh. Everything was plated beautifully, with thoughtful garnishes that showed attention to detail. Each dish felt elevated without being fussy. Overall, the food was consistently high quality and really satisfying. The ambiance is sleek and playful in the best way. A glowing bonsai-style tree adds drama to the minimalist interior, and the quirky portrait reminiscent of Botero gives the space unexpected personality. My new fav high end Chinese resto.

Are you looking for a new upscale Chinese spot in the city ? Then go here . Tang by Mr Sun is perfect for A date night or if your looking for a new experience. The service was great everyone was attentive and the Decor in the Reasturant was unique from The remix Mona Lisa artwork on the wall to the tree in a glass . Now down to the food and drinks the shrimp balls were good definitely more something I would order to impress a date or post on the gram .That Dragon Sunset yea give me two this was light and not to sweet . The aviation drink was okay but had a different lavender after taste . The Hot , and sour beef was nice and crispy and came with a white rice . The crispy Lobster noodles that oyster sauce had the noodles melting into my mouth it became more like a lo mein so good ,and gave princess treatment as the waiter poured it on . Go here if your tired of your go to spots and want to try something new .

What a fantastic restaurant! It is intimate and has a lovely relaxing ambiance with lower lights. The service was absolutely amazing from the door to the table. It was the perfect amount of attention to the table. The food was DELICIOUS! I got the crab cakes for an appetizer and the salt and pepper prawn. Nice portions, cooked to perfection. Highly recommend!

Tang by Mr. Sun is a gem. The food is delicious and beautifully plated, as so are the cocktails. The ambiance of the restaurant is modern but casual, and the staff is really attentive. My girlfriends and I tried a couple of dishes and had minimal complaints. The Lychee Shrimp balls are a must and we were obsessed with their presentation; it was actually what brought us to book a reservation and we were not disappointed. The best appetizer however were the Crab Cakes - so so good. For entrees we had the Chicken Fried Rice which was pretty standard, and the Fried Lobster with Crispy Rice which we really wanted to love but ended up being just a tad bit salty; both still got devoured though! Dessert was great and I recommend the Goccia Tiramisu or the Limoncello Truffle. Cocktails are a must as well with the Dragon Sunset being the undisputed favorite of the night. There was an altercation with some guests while we were there but the staff handled it really well. Shouts to the manager for taking the time to check in with all the guests after. I would certainly go back as the menu is quite extensive and look forward to trying more dishes!

Came back to Tang by Mr Sun on a Friday evening for dinner. They had a 1 ballon, and this restaurant has been open for 1 year! Hope it will stay in business for a long time to come! We really love their Peking duck, it is definitely one of the best we've had. The skin is so crispy and perfectly cut. The pancake is very thin and perfect. I don't like the wraps to be thick, I've been to other restaurants and the wraps are bun-like, terrible! Can't even taste the duck at that point! This time we also tried their Maryland crab cake, which was divine! Yes the pieces when they came out were small (small bite size) however they redeemed themselves when the inside was entirely of crab! I've had crab cakes where they were large but full of breading. But this wasn't the case at all! I was impressed and it was served with a tangy mustard sauce. We also ordered the string beans, which was a nice portion. Overall we love coming to Tang!

Whenever walking past by Tang by Mr Sun there's always a crowd so decided to check it out. Great location in the UES. A perfect upscale date spot. Beautiful and clean interior with modern decor. Great service and attentive staff. Food was served immediately. Started the dinner with soup dumpling assortment which were delicious especially with the vinegar. The main dishes were subpar unfortunately. The texture of the chicken was off for every single meal. It was sooo soft and didn't taste like chicken at all, rather soft as tofu. This really knocked the ranking. We did appreciate the amount of protein and portion of each meal but texture of the chicken was disappointing. All plates were aesthetically pleasing in terms of presentation but overall food looked better in photos. Recommend only if you're in the area and want to check out something new or for a local date night.

My friend and I were looking for somewhere to dine after the Met museum. We came across this restaurant and there was no wait. The hostess kindly greeted and sat us. Everyone was incredibly kind. I can't remember the last time I received such wonderful and attentive service. The food was equally delicious, everything we had was great! We started with the lychee mocktails which were sweet but delicious. The chicken wonton soup, hot & sour soup, duck spring rolls, sweet and spicy beef, the crab udon noodles and the fried rice. We had a ton of food and had lots of leftovers. We enjoyed every minute of it and will be back for the food and the impeccable service.

Great service, loved every bite of our meal and a beautiful ambiance. I've been there twice and can't wait for the 3rd time!

WOW, wow, wow. This is probably one of the most impressive restaurants I've ever been to! From the decor, to the food, to the staff, there's literally not one bad thing I can say about this place. I came here with my friend and we both thoroughly enjoyed this place. For an appetizer we ordered the shrimp balls, which came out in a beautiful smokey display. We also had the truffle mushroom pancakes which were delicious. For my main meal I had the king Pao chicken which was great. I definitely didn't have enough room for dessert, but I couldn't pass up an opportunity to try one of their amazing desserts. I got the red lantern, which was an amazing cheesecake with strawberry and raspberry. I am not a sweets person, but this definitely hit the spot! I will definitely be coming back here. This upscale and unique Chinese restaurant is definitely a gem!

This place is awesome, can't believe it's usually not busy when we go. Love that they don't use seed oils. Food is always delicious and the staff is so attentive and friendly.

Best Chinese food on the Upper East Side. Lovely ambiance and superb service. I have been here five times and have never been disappointed. The lychee ball appetizer is really fun to eat and watch the drama unfold.

5 stars there is not one bad thing I can say about this place. Food, staff, ambiance is spectacular!! I would like to return on a date night first time was on a girls night.

Fabulous dinner at Tang by Mr Sun! Food was delicious- presentation was wonderful and ambience and service were outstanding.

As an UES resident we are getting quite spoiled with new spots popping up, including Tang. The food is a feast for the eyes and the taste buds. I love when dishes are inviting you in before a bite. The colorful and abundant presentations are fabulous. And then, the flavors are delicious. You can't go wrong with here - everything we chose came with its own dynamism and wasn't just a retweet of flavors dish to dish. The truffle pancake was one of our favs. Loved the variety of soup dumplings to get your mouth on a little flavor journey. The prawns in passion fruit sauce - sensational. And a kung pao chicken that celebrates a classic so well. Absolutely a winner! Great service to boot and make you feel welcome and guide you through the menu. Can't wait to come back!

Stopped by for lunch. Beautiful decor in person similar to what I've saw on Instagram. I love what Mr Sun has done with the place. Better than Shun Lee's previous set up. I was great by a nice young man named Aman at the door. He was very informative and friendly about the menu and what to order. I ended up with veggie fried rice it was good. It's a little different from the other designer Chinese spots I frequent. I will try the Beijing chicken next time.

As a foodie this place is 100000/10!! The food was so flavorful, service was amazing, very beautiful place and I cannot wait to eat here again I went for my birthday and even booking a reservation for 10 was so easy ( some places you need to contact a manger etc ) go here you won't regret it and the drinks were good as well!

**REVIEW ONLY FOR PEKING DUCK** The ambience is charming, with a modernized take on Chinese food. The interior is clean and stylish, tucked away in a little corner of New York. We came for a late lunch and were the only guests, so it was nice and quiet. The peking duck did take some time to come out, and instead of the traditional buns, they served the duck with thin, tortilla-like steamed wraps. It was an interesting twist on a classic dish. Overall, a pleasant spot with a modern vibe.

The good, the food was actually pretty good. The bad, service was terrible - got 5 dishes wrong, 2 dishes never came, sparkling water instead of still and when we pointed it out we still got charged for the mistake. No soy sauce on the premises. Waiter left us hanging for majority of evening and because we were a large party, they had an auto gratuity of 20% which they definitely did not deserve. $600 meal and it was really not great.

I enjoyed the rock shrimp, sweet and sour chicken, and glazed cod from Tang by Mr. Sun. Ambiance and service were both good. My only piece of constructive criticism would be to sit tables closer to the entrance as when you walk by it currently gives the vibe that the restaurant is closed or that nobody is eating there.

We love this place! The food is delicious, great quality ingredients but flavorful and generous portions! The service was amazing, our server Rubel is so friendly and attentive! One of our favorite lunch spots on the UES and will definitely keep coming back! It's never too crowded here and more people need to know about this place and how great it is!

This is one of the best restaurants I've visited in NYC. The service is TOP tier. The food is a high end Asian fusion. The ambiance is elegant. Every thing we ordered was outstanding.

Food was great! Ambiance was gorgeous. They have a number of not only delicious but stunning dishes. Rubel made lunch amazing!

Came here for Christmas Eve dinner and overall the food was delicious and service very warm and friendly. We shared a huge amount of food, but standouts were: -all the soups! Wonton, crab chowder and creamy mushroom were all flavorful and hit the spot on a cold night -yuzu honey ribs appetizer -- sooo yummy and meaty, with five sizable ribs to the order -crispy hot and sour beef -- again delicious sauce, and a little heat without being TOO hot -passion fruit tiger prawns with walnuts - a really interesting twist on the usual classic dish, with the tangy fruity sauce and perfectly cooked, huge shrimps We also had Peking duck -- good tho perhaps presented a little less ceremoniously than usual -- Beijing chicken, bacon house fried rice, crab udon, and rock shrimp appetizer. All good for sure though perhaps not the total standouts. Definitely have to note that it is quite pricey, even for "fancy" Chinese in the city goes -- though at least for the price portions are quite shareable. The room can also get quite noisy when full, as it was on the busy night we were there. But overall, would come back for perhaps a less huge meal, ha. Would love to come back and try more seafood dishes as the prawns were so good -- and who can resist something called "glorious glazed cod?" :)

搞什么, 故意把差评弄没, 根本没骂人, 难吃就难吃, 别交智商税, 不是西式中餐也不是传统中餐, 看图看原评。 TLDR: Dishes doesn't hit as Western-style Chinese cuisine nor traditional Chinese cuisine. Food priced high not due to quality but due to presentation. Okay, where do I start? To say that this is a Western-style Chinese cuisine restaurant is not the case, but to also say that this restaurant has authentic Chinese cuisine is simply a lie. Some friends of mine brought me to this restaurant as a treat and asked me if this is authentic, and I'd say that it doesn't seem to be the case, even by looking at the menu. When we went, there doesn't seem to have any Chinese staff that operate this "Chinese-style" restaurant. There's not a lot of creativity in the menu aside from the presentation of the dishes, and you can get most of what you eat at other Chinese restaurants (either traditional or Western-style) at half of the price you pay here. We have the Peking Duck, which I don't believe is Asian Fusion (as per the name), but it's not crispy as those that you can get at high-end restaurants for the same price, especially compared to high-end Chinese restaurants outside of the country. Even in lower-end restaurant, you can get Peking Duck with crispy skin compared to this restaurant. Other dishes, such as Chicken and Broccoli, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Bok Choy, and Shrimp Fried Rice, however, you can get them at half the price elsewhere. What's scary is the Curry Shrimp, which leaves all curry lovers and shrimp lovers silent on how weird this combination of food taste. I don't know how this restaurant branded itself aside from calling itself "upscale" due to good presentation, uncreative okay food, and bad labeling of "Chinese cuisine". Please don't go out there in the world fooling people on this being "Western-style Chinese cuisine" or "authentic Chinese cuisine". Food is 4.8/10, and it's just not worth the price. This review is rounded down due to false and unclear marketing and their unwillingness to listen to constructive criticism.

Attentive service and great food. We tried the rocky shrimp tempura and duck spring roles. And the wine was half price at lunch.

Food was amazing and staff was so friendly. Peking duck was awesome! All four of our kids loved this place and it was great for the adults too!

Always love seeing upscale Chinese restaurants open! We are a huge fan of the Mr. Sun in midtown east so had to check this place out. Over all, the food was quite pricey for what it was but still good. Great service. The duck is obviously the thing to get but since we get it often at the other location, we reluctantly skipped so we could try other dishes not available at the other location. We enjoyed the chicken wonton soup (very little in quantity but great flavor), lobster with crispy noodles (the texture of the lobster is great), soft and crispy tofu (great texture), bok choy (warning it's VERY heavy on the garlic), and the cod (great flaky texture and good flavors). The stars were the cod and the lobster but it was all good. Service was fantastic. Waiters were very attentive and constantly refilled waters, asked how we were doing, and cleared empty dishes almost immediately. They have a full bar and dessert menu, but didn't take advantage of either this visit (next time). Note that online, it might not show any tables available but I was able to call and get a reservation when the website said there were none. Looking forward to returning and trying the creamy lobster noodles (and probably the duck)!

Talk about mesmerizing... I am reminiscing on the experience eating here last night. Everything was absolutely delicious, from the pomegranate martinis, to the chicken wonton soup, and this peking duck! Best duck I've ever had in my life. I want to try everything on the menu.

For a high end Chinese place with very high prices and nice table presentation, the food was awful. For three, our bill was $250. We would've been better off ordering take out from a local place. Giving it two stars for service and presentation. I went from 2 stars to 1 star after "the owner" replied. Sounded more like a AI generated response. If you can see the owners response, here's my rebuttal: Ok, you use less sugar. That's your excuse for the hot and sour soup tasting more like egg drop soup and not a hint of spice? Is that also your excuse for pastrami dumplings barely having any pastrami in it or the lack of duck in your kimchi rice with duck? I could go on. One thing I liked and she loves it is the bone for my dog Kaya

Really nice lunch, and friendly attentive service! Came here to celebrate 100 days for my sister's son. The dishes are work of art and nicely displayed, flavors are elevated Chinese cuisine. The lychee shrimp balls, crab udon, truffle mushroom crisps were my favorite! The coconut cranberry sparkling seltzer mocktail was very refreshing!

We had a great dinner on Saturday night. The server Aman and the manager Oscar gave us top tier service. If you want to try good food with excellent service come here !!! 5 out of 5

Beautiful presentation and tasty. My whole family found something they loved. The soup dumplings and Peking duck were my favorites

Very special exotic dishes . Fun. A real dining experience. Excellent service. We loved getting shrimp rice balls and see them smoking! Beautiful presentation of food very artistic

The dining experience was exceptional, featuring excellent cuisine and a pleasant atmosphere. Furthermore, the staff demonstrated a high level of attentiveness, contributing to an overall positive experience.

The food was good, especially the sweet and sour chicken. Very crispy on the outside. Also, the views in the restaurant were great

Not a great experience. Half empty and they were out of duck and all the wines we tried to order from their anemic wine list. The pastrami spring rolls had some beef but nothing that resembled (or tasted like) pastrami. The other dishes we tried were good. The room is very nice and the staff does a good job. Not worth a trip.

The place is very relaxing and filled with nice art and paintings. The food was delicious and tasted healthy. The employees were all very nice and helpful. If it wasn't for me trying to get my health together I would have had some alcohol and dessert. I'll definitely be coming back to this great place.

a chic Chinese restaurant on the Upper East Side. The atmosphere is elegantly charming, and the food is not only fantastic but also presented in a uniquely beautiful way!

Presentation 10/10 and the flavors 100/10. Would definitely comeback to celebrate any special occasion. Very attentive waiters and friendly ambiance. Aman was a great server and gave us great recommendations for our first time there !
