The Corner Chinese Restaurant

I found the service here was well intentioned but needs a bit of work. I do acknowledge that we came here at an odd time in the late afternoon on a Sunday. I made a reservation but they couldn't find it. No problem because the restaurant was empty at that time. They seated us while we waited for friends to arrive. They did not check on us to see if we wanted drinks etc and I had to get up to ask someone. However, the rest of the meal was good and service was fine. We ordered some spring rolls, dumplings, scallion pancakes, crispy calamari, sizzling tofu, sesame chicken, fried rice, and string beans. We also got some drinks, a few bottles of wine, and all the desserts. We were hoping there would be a Chinese dessert option but unfortunately they didn't have anything. I didn't necessarily find the food to be inauthentic, but what does authentic really mean anyway? Regardless, the food was quite tasty, esp the tofu, string beans,and fried rice. I would not hesitate to go back, but maybe the staff needs to be a bit more attentive.

We celebrated New Years Eve here yesterday, and we enjoyed so much! Great atmosphere, outstanding service by genuinely lovely people, and even better food! May honestly be one of the best NYC chinese restaurants out there, definitely worth going here during any visit to this wonderful city!

Very friendly place with lovely food. The beef pancake starter was not something I’ve ever had but was delicious! Kung pau chicken with cashews very lovely as were the noodles. Recommended!

Myself and 3 friends wanted Chinese food while visiting NYC, so I did a Google search and this spot was about 9 min away walking from our hotel in Times Square. My food was really good! I had Chicken w/ Broccoli and Fried Chicken Wings. The wings were crispy & hot! I would definitely eat here again whenever I'm in NYC again.

They got us in fast and good on a Saturday in December! I loved it even though the latch on the bathroom 🚽 door confused me a bit. But I don’t mean that as a negative! I love old school wood 🪵 with brass latches and shower glass 🚪 doors. Don’t you dare remodel or change your food service and quality. Highly recommended but don’t spread the word of I’ll never get back in that way… Yaaaay!

This is now our favorite Chinese Restaurant above Canal Street! We used to love Shun Lee, but their quality of food has plummeted over the past four years and most of the other Chinese restaurants in our neighborhood are adequate at best. The Corner is an absolute delight: the decor is inviting, simple and very comfortable; the staff is top-notch; and the food(!) The food is absolute heaven. We loved the Peking duck, Jumbo Shrimp, mango salad, won ton soup and especially their special fried rice. All courses were delicious, light, and generous portions. We also love Nicki & Berto!

Was looking for Duck and did a little Googling and this popped up. From when I first walked in until I left everything was very welcoming. Started with a perfect Martini and moved to billowy wonton soup. I love baby boy chop and this did not disappoint!! The main attraction was the crispy duck chow fun. Did not expect a duck breast on top!! The house made hoisin was off the charts. Will be back again.

The service is amazing. The moment I dropped my napkins, a staff saw it and gave me a new one right away. Fresh ingredients and good meat. Sweet sour chicken is tasty and pineapple is fresh. Hot and sour soup is a bit bland for me.

Awesome experience at The Corner! Big portion sizes and the food was great. The restaurant is clean, service was quick and we had a nice time. I will be back for the lunch special.

We visited the restaurant on New Years Day afternoon , it wasn't busy. I was surprised that the price of the dishes were pricey but then not surprised after seeing the portion of the food. The portion is a family portion so definitely worth the price. We tried the wonton soup, crispy baby tofu, crispy chicken wings, beef lo mein, beef Angel hair rice pasta, sautéed baby bok choy, beef with mushroom. They were all delicious, since it's a szechuan style, you can definitely taste that on crispy chicken wings. Crispy baby tofu, it was soft Japanese tofu (not my fav). Definitely good restaurant for family! A little suggestion will be having a different kind of music in the restaurant. It was kind of loud/bar/pop hip hop music and the noise from tv mixed all together, kind of kill the mood of the restaurant.

Awesome spot only a few blocks away from Times Square. Don't go to chains, avoid the crowds and take the extra 10 mins to walk to this Szechuan spot. Cozy place with seating for all types of parties big or small. A great bar with a solid selection of liquors and beers. Food was flavorful, delicious and jussssst the right amount of spice. If you're in Times Square area and wanting some great Chinese food - check this place out

We ordered the food online We got the Lo mein with chicken (spicy) It was a huge portion and well worth the price. The flavor was perfect. I do wish there was more veggies but I get not everyone loves that. I would totally get this again!

When I tried to order food from them, it automatically went to pick up not delivery however I added a five dollar delivery tip so why was there a five dollar delivery tip for a pick up. When I called them about it, they said that I had to call the delivery service that they didn't have my information. When I called the delivery service, they said I had to call the restaurant so when I spoke to the restaurant, I said look it's just getting cold there and I'm paying for it and they're like yes it is you're getting cold and you did pay for it. So I got a little angry and I said all right. I'm coming over and I took a cab there which is almost $20 and they were having a huge event. There is a table with a woman guest list and lots of very happy people, but that's because they had an event. They didn't care about their actual customers. I went to get my food and I just said sorry about the misunderstanding because I wasn't gonna be uncivil. They were shady no apology no effort to fix it. Then I took ianother cab home which is about 15 bucks so I could've just ordered some other food and not spent probably the bill was 38 with them and that's 15 and 20 so that's about 70 bucks . When I got home, the Kung pao chicken had hardly any chicken and tons of peppers almost no peanuts and it had zero flavor. It was dry and gross. I think they're really a terrible business and I tend to write a few of these reviews because what records do I have they didn't give me any apology or anything. They were just nasty and only cared about the money in their event.

As Chinese food goes, this restaurant is top notch. I tend to stick to my staples (hot and sour soup, shrimp lo mein, schezuan green beans, and spring rolls) and this restaurant does not disappoint, neither in taste nor portions. I've never actually eaten at the restaurant, so I can't speak to the service or ambiance, but the food, is DELICIOUS!!

This was one of my favorite meals in NYC. The dumplings and Peking duck were divine. The service was great and the ambience was exactly what we needed. The server suggested we try the jasmine tea and it did not disappoint. It's been a few days and I'm still thinking about what a great meal we had. Thanks, Corner Chinese!

Absolutely delicious. My husband introduced me to this gem. It's the best Chinese in New York City HANDS DOWN! The staff is kind, the bartender makes delicious drinks. The chef is constantly consistently making delicious quality foood. I was so pleased, we went one day and a week later we went again! Fresh, vegetables and peppers truly flabbergasted because this is a high end Chinese lo mein delicious! General toast chicken DELICIOUS! corner fried rice Delicious! Omg Dumpling, spring rolls DELICIOUS! And the portions are amazing too!

We ordered delivery through Uber Eats, fast delivery to hotel!! it was hot and fresh! Ultimate Chinese food that was delicious!!!! Each bite was so very good. I am so impressed and would love to have this at least once a week!!! You could taste the freshness and I love that the sweet and sour chicken wasn't drown in red sauce. So good!!

If you work in the city and are looking for decent food at an affordable price point, the Corner Chinese Restaurant in Midtown is a solid go-to. Their lunch specials are where it's at--tasty, satisfying, and won't break the bank. Perfect for a quick bite between meetings or a casual work lunch. It's not fancy, but it gets the job done.

This was a solid spot for American Chinese food. had the vegetarian imperial, which is basically vegetarian chicken wings in a General Tso's type sauce. It comes with some steamed broccoli and a bowl of white rice. The sauce is pretty standard, very sweet and a bit tart and savory. The texture on the wings is fantastic - crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. For just $19 before tax and tip, it ended up being a pretty filling and satisfying meal.

The service was stellar and the food was served hot! If I had to say something not so great about my experience it would be that the shrimp was uncleaned within my spring rolls. However, everything else was served hot with welcoming service. I do recommend the shrimp fried rice with an extra side of duck sauce as each bite had me hooked. I also had the cucumber salad which was really good. I definitely recommend giving this place a good as their portion sizes are GREAT for the price! Thank you CCR!

We came during a day trip to the city and used a Groupon for 2. The staff was great at answering all of our questions and the food was delicious! I guess I wasn't expecting much, but I was very much proven wrong

5 star! After a horrible experience across the street, we wandered in by chance. They sat us right away, which was a plus. We were in a rush because we had shows to see. The menu was large, but we ordered several items and told them they can come out at any time. It did come out very random but we did ask for that. Big portions. Service was fast. Food was hot and delicious and we were surprisingly very impressed. P.S. I also loved the sturdy take out containers and the reusable bag!

Chinese @Hell's kitchen, NYC, We walked down the 9th Avenue after the show @ Lincoln Center to the restaurant. The restaurant was modern and mid sized. The menu was very reasonably priced and delicious. We requested our food to be less salty and without msg. The chicken lettuce wrap appetizer was well executed with crunchy waterchestnut and refreshing lettuce. The lobster sauce was very tasty with jumbo shrimps and black peppered filet mignon had a little kick which paired with the shrimp dish. The meal was delicious with corona beer. Unfortunately, where we were seated, the front door was opened and the air conditioning wasn't working properly. It appears that the restaurant is opened about 1.5 years ago. The hostess and wait staff was friendly and helpful.

The lo mein portion (beef) was big and wasn't too salty (personally), the pieces of beef and veggies were enjoyable. It was a bit oily, but, that was expected. The crispy sweet and sour pork was enjoyable, even taking into consideration that I got this delivered. There was still a nice bite to it, it did not get too soggy. The sauce was sweet, sour, and tart - good balance and exactly what you want from this dish. The cilantro was a nice touch (personally). Only issue I had was that there were not many pieces/small portion. However, a couple pieces were sizeable and a couple bitefuls. Taking all into consideration, really decent chinese-american food and satisfied with how the food kept well in the delivery process.

This was a difficult review to write ... why? The food was so good - everything we ordered was delicious and the meats were so tender they melted in your mouth. However; the service left a lot to be desired. The place is cute overall, too. Drinks: while they had a full bar and a pretty nice-sized cocktail menu,, they could only serve beer and wine. strike. So, we got hot teas and sodas. Service: many mishaps with the menu, hard to get server's attention to get water refills, or to order more food or drinks. also, at the end of the meal, they brought an incorrect check but then charged the correct one, without an explanation for the higher charge and needed clarification Food: WOW - so flavorful. If you can put aside the service points, the food alone is worth many reasons to check out this new-ish Hell's Kitchen spot. Hot and Sour soup, Shrimp Lo Mein, the Corner's Three Delights, shrimp fried rice, Chung King beef, the crispy steak in tangerine peel sauce, and the Shanghai shrimp rolls... all tasty , and good-sized portions. It almost feels like you can't go wrong with pretty much any option on the menu. Anything we couldn't finish we took home and finished later the same day.

I came here today after hearing a lot of good things about this place. To start off, the restaurant is pretty in terms of the set up, but a little tight in space. The tables are all set pretty close to each other. The staff was friendly but some of the waiters seemed a little confused because they would bring me something I did not order or give me an extra portion of something I ordered. I ordered the xiao long bao pork and xiao long bao pork with crab egg. Overall the xiao long bao was alright, like typical xiao long bao. I was looking for more juice when I bit into it. I also ordered the hot and sour soup which was pretty tasty. The crispy duck with chow fun in hoisin sauce was soso. I liked the chow fun but did not like the duck. The duck was extremely dry and that took the joy out of eating the dish. The Corner's three delights took a long time to come out. I was starting to think they had forgotten about it. It was okay too and did not wow me. The beef was good but the chicken was not well flavored. Price wise the whole order plus two ginger ales came out to $92. I can't say it was extremely worth it... I guess I was disappointed since I had such high hopes for it.

Place was good! The drink was cute but honestly not very good (I might have made a poor choice). The appetizer was good, nothing special in my opinion. The main course was def the best part. The sesame chicken and pineapple fried rice was delicious!!! Service was good, host was friendly.

Had a lovely wine dinner on the Thursday night, and I love the spicy authentic Chinese dishes and the relaxing atmosphere of this restaurant. The boiled fish was delicious but a bit too spicy for me. Good thing is I ordered several different wines for the food pairing. The wine definitely helps to balance the spicy level. The byob policy is a plus for wine lovers ( they don't have big wine list here), and the corkage fee is only $15! I am planning to return again soon to try more interesting dishes on the menu.

This restaurant is a great experience beginning to end. The decor and lighting have a great vibe. The service was fantastic, it's possible that these were the most polite servers/hosts I have ever had in a dining experience. I myself ordered the Chicken W/ Broccoli and also a serving of Shrimp Lo-Mein. The Chicken W/ Broccoli was a very good 9/10 for me, and the Lo-Mein being an 8. This is quite high praise overall since my personal favorite food is Chicken W/ Broccoli. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Ordered the Rock Shrimp appetizer. I had it before and they were large and juicy - but tonight the shrimp were small and hard and tasteless. Seemed like they may have been frozen. The beef chow fun didn't have enough beef and didn't taste like it did when they first opened.

Okay. So it's Christmas Eve and the restaurant is filled with families, older folks and couples. So what does management decide to do? Blast hideous club music. Ruined the evening Could not hear each other speak. Headache inducing.

No pictures, but I was impressed. The food was hot and delicious, best dumplings I've ever had. In a cold New York day, this hit the spot soooo good.

Really beautiful medium sized restaurant with a bar that seats 6 people. I ordered chicken fried rice and chicken wings, they were both pretty solid. My fried rice came out in literally 1 minute. Their outside area has 4 small tables. Friendly staff too!

The decor is gorg, but make no mistake: This is Chinese food for non-Chinese people (or those who like their Chinese cuisine super, super inauthentic). Proof? All tables have a fork and a spoon for cutlery, no chopsticks. They know their audience. If you keep that in mind going in, you might feel better about the sheer lack of any real spice at this Szechuan restaurant. Our Crispy Calamari was marked with a pepper sign, but had no kick whatsoever. Our Sichuan Boiled Fish (the flagship dish for any Szechuan restaurant) was better, flavor-wise, but you could tell the spiciness was super diluted. Our best dish was the Sizzling Tofu platter--chock full of vegetables.

This is a decent Americanized Chinese food restaurant - the portions were generous but it definitely wasn't authentic. If you are looking for something authentic, just stop by Di Di Dumpling next door. The server that helped us was friendly and recommended good dishes. We had the hot and sour soup (was the most authentic fish), beef in egg rolls (was okay), and the sizzling plate with beef, chicken, and shrimp. This was more than enough food for the two of us. Really pretty decor and the vibe was chill.

I have always been an honest and transparent yelper so brace yourself for a review that contains the good, bad, and the ugly. Let's start with the service, 5 stars. Welcoming host, informative waiter, and a big shout to the latino fellow wearing a cap for being attentive and providing us with extra napkins. The food was prepared promptly and was set on our table hot. This was great. The decor is very nice, spacious, and clean. The restaurant has a nice vibe to it-the colors all come together and the utensils and facilities were spotless-5 stars. The availability and ease of use of a Groupon was a great marketing strategy because it welcomes new patrons looking for asian cusine in Hells Kitchen so kudos to whoever put that in place-it helped put this restaurant on the map. 5 stars. The food-5 stars. The veggie dumplings were pan seared and filled with flavorful veggies-nicely seasoned. The rock shrimp was nice and crispy and not too spicy. The veggie lo-main was delicious and had a variety of vegetables. The kung pao chicken was not too spicy and the chicken was nice and juicy not overcooked. The sweet and sour pineapple chicken was delicious and the pineapple was fresh and beautifully displayed. The white sticky rice was perfectly cooked. The tangerine steak was good but honestly it was our least favorite dish-perhaps the sauce was a bit too sweet for the steak? Overall, the food was bussin'-the portions were big and they really didn't skimp on any veggies or meat. Here's where it get's a bit crazy (and remember this is NY so we see alot of things but this was a bit over the top) The dining area is somewhat divided between tables/chairs and the other side has tables/booth seating. But, nonetheless both sides are visible to each other. Explain to me why, the employees thought that it would be acceptable to SLEEP on the booth seats at 4pm on a SATURDAY during BUSINESS HOURS. And not like sleeping on the chair with head back, NO fully laying down on their backs.Who thought this would be acceptable??? Who approved this?? Mind you, not 1 but rather 2 employees-one towards the back of the restaurant, and one in the front of the restaurant. It gets better because we hadn't notice until 2 older women walked in and ask for the back booth table, the waiter proceeds to take them to a middle booth until they spot the sleeping employee and ask " is someone sleeping there?" to which he replies " yes, well this section is closed but since you asked for booth seating... or perhaps you would rather sit on this side" and he points to the table/chair seating. I can't make this stuff up folks. Here is a message to the manager-please refer to article 81 of the NYC health code-§81.17 General requirements: design, construction, materials and maintenance-"and no part of any food service establishment shall be located in any rooms used for dwelling or sleeping purposes". Please DO NOT ALLOW THIS EVER-above all else, this was unprofessional and inappropriate. Having said all that, will that stop me from coming back? No, like I said this is NY afterall and we all work hard-plus the food was too damn good.

Overall we found this place pretty disappointing, but it's not clear whether we just ordered the wrong things (which is why it's getting three stars and not two). The ambiance was nice, the seats were pretty well-spaced, the service was good. But the food was really disappointing. Chengdu Roasted Duck in Chili Oil - this dish lacked flavor, and lacked duck meat (it was mostly bone); given that, most of the protein in the dish was spam Tangy Tangerine Peel Steak - this dish is large chunks of deep fried steak (wasn't mentioned that it was deep fried on the menu), and very sweet. I thought I was getting a spicy stir-fried dish based on the menu description, and definitely would have ordered differently if I knew what I was getting. I think I overall agree with another reviewer that said that this place is probably Chinese food targeted at people who are used to Chinese American food. If you're looking for authentic Chinese this is not your place.

I used to order from here a lot. Usually a lunch special. Food was good & portions were decent (they weirdly never included any duck sauce etc despite including a spring roll w the special). But I haven't ordered for many months. I ordered today and food did not taste the same. The protein was rubbery & seemed undercooked. The vegetables were hard & almost raw. I picked thru it to find a few pieces worth eating. Within 2 minutes I was heaving and then had an upset stomach. I thew out 98% of the meal. Waste of money. Not sure what is going on cause, as I said, it was good last year. But I won't be going back. Too many other places in the area to choose from.

Over fried, over salted and the noodles were a limp and unappetizing heap with little flavor. We got the duck and the sesame chicken. So disappointing. The reviews did not match at all our experience. The restaurant is cute and servers were nice but I wouldn't go back there.

After walking by this place numerous times and wondering what it was all about, the beau suggested that we go and see for ourselves. I think he knew something I didn't because we had a really good meal! The restaurant has a very cute bar and is decorated nicely in red and white with eye catching murals. The service is very attentive, in fact it was too much so with multiple servers coming by to ask if we were ready to order yet. The beau and I don't roll that way. We like to enjoy our cocktails before we even open a menu. We did just that. The drinks we ordered were delicious and we decided to order the veggie spring rolls, fried pork dumplings, shrimp lo mein and sesame chicken. The food does come out fast here and it is piping hot so you know it's fresh. The portions are very generous so we had plenty to take home. The food was very good in house, reminding us how much take out can suffer in route. The chicken was crispy and the sauce was sweet and tangy as they promised. The lol mein noodles were cooked nicely and the shrimp deveined which is a huge plus for me. Overall a very nice experience. We will return when the mood strikes us for some good Chinese food.

This is my second time trying the food here ordering from Uber eats. Place looks clean, but the food does not have good flavor. It barely has any flavor. The fried rice does taste a little weird and I also had chicken and broccoli which was very bland. a bit disappointing because I am trying to find a Chinese restaurant around here and I still cannot find any good ones unlike the one in Long Island that I love. When I called to get garlic sauce on the side, they had no idea what garlic sauce was, this is very odd already. Will not be ordering from here again.

Excellent food, with elements of traditional Chinese cuisine but approachable and familiar. Ambiance is nice without seeming excessive or pretentious, and generally speaking I think the menu is of good value for NYC. I had the sliced beef in golden sour soup, which was amazing, but very intense (spicy and pungent). Also quite large, plenty for 2-3 people in my opinion. I like to eat it over/with white rice as this cuts down on the intensity a bit and balances it out nicely. We also had the Peking Duck egg rolls, scallion pancakes, and hot and sour soup. All of these were great. I tend to judge Chinese restaurants by their hot and sour soup and this one did not let me down. Girlfriend ordered pineapple fried rice, which we were not impressed by. It wasn't bad, but lacked in that restaurant-quality wok hei flavor, and at $16 for a dish with no meat which I could have made in my kitchen in 5 minutes for less than $2, we wouldn't order it again. Still, I think this place deserves 5 stars and will definitely be coming back. Check for all this and a Tsingtao was about $80 with easily 2 meals worth of leftovers.

Decent food, really nice inside, but over priced. It took a very long time for the food to come out and it wasn't even that busy inside. The duck egg rolls were nice. The walnut shrimp were over cooked and rubbery. They also left the shell on half the shrimp so it took some work to eat.

I've come by here a couple of times for pre-theater meals in the past few months' time. The restaurant looks pretty nice inside, with trendy modern decor, and the food prices are fairly reasonable as well. I've tried their mapo tofu, veggie dumplings, and their cold sesame noodles so far, and I've liked them all so far, particularly their mapo tofu, which had great flavoring. They have a happy hour special on weeknights, with select bites being offered at discounted rates also. All in all, a pretty good Chinese restaurant located in the theater district, and not a bad place to grab a bite to eat, pre-show or not.

I paid my waitress and upon leaving, was stopped by another worker asking if I paid and when I said I paid he ran over to my waitress and asked her in Chinese if I paid. Very tacky. If they have a problem with people not paying, come up with better process rather than making paying customers feel like thieves. I won't be back and I suggest you avoid.

Came with my family of 5 with no reservation on a Saturday around 6 P.M. Good vegetarian options. Affordable. Large portions. Very solid Chinese restaurant for eating in and takeout. Will be back.

Lo Mein was greedy and salty. Wonton soup has delicious broth and large firm celery which was nice, unfortunately the first wonton I bit into had a hard piece of something that was ruined it and was very off putting. I really wanted to like this place food comes deliver in a very cute delivery bag.

I stopped in on a whim. It was so good!!! Get the Filet Mignon egg rolls...you won't be sorry. The entire staff was lovely, attentive but not intrusive. I ordered way too much food and they happily packages up everything this I had left. Since a great experience.

Passing by the The Corner Chinese you can't help to notice the nice decor inside. For the table we ordered the soup dumplings, scallion pancakes, Dan Dan noddles, pork belly in garlic sauce and the pineapple chicken. Out of all the plates we ordered the soup dumplings were good, everything else lacked in flavor. Dan Dan noddles were dry, pineapple chicken sauce was a bit too sweet, and the pork belly in garlic sauce was just okay. The service was very good and the staff were very attentive. Cocktails go for $17 but not worth it in my opinion. Heavy on the juice and not enough alcohol for the price. I don't think I will return back to The Corner Chinese.

Need to take off 1 star from my original post a few months ago. This is my second time. The first time, the shrimps and walnuts were spectacular (5 stars). The second time, I ordered the sesame chicken. It wasn't made to order, was not hot...BARELY warm. Also, the white meat inside was very dry...as if this had been cooked at least an hour ago (- 3 stars). But the interior and decor of this place is better than most restaurants in Hells Kitchen (+1).

Great service. Enormous portions and great flavor. You will have enough for another meal. Will plan to return.

A good Chinese restaurant. Atmosphere is a modern elegance with a simple flare. Food is very good. A place I would come back to.

We ordered the chicken with broccoli, its $2 extra for the white rice , crispy beef , chicken wings , and the combination fried rice with chicken, pork , and shrimp. The food was delicious and the portions was good. The wait service , ambiance , and decor was great. The food presentation and temperature was good. They packed the doggie bag so neatly and provide reusable bags. Came here with a Groupon deal. You must go!

The place is nice, the food was Amazing, the best Chinese food I've had, Ever! The service was beyond fantastic, the wait staff could not do enough for us. The lights were kept low and soft music played. This is one place I highly recommend. Don't walk, run if you want great Chinese food.

Portions and prices are great. Wasn't crowded and service was good. Some of the dishes lacked flavor (egg roll and shredded beef). The sesame chicken was not good, so not recommend - they were like big chicken tenders and not crispy on the outside, very bready. The chow fun was delicious though.

I think the food was great - I would just slow the service down a bit. The food comes out way too quick.

Food is excellent; portions large, decor attractive. Some of the staff haven't mastered the English language... but the kitchen staff has mastered Chinese food and that's what counts. We will be returning.
