"I recently dined at this Chinese restaurant and had a mixed experience. The presentation of the chicken dish was impressive with a flamboyant cage, but unfortunately, it was a bit too salty. The beef with broccoli suffered from an excess of corn starch, and the string beans were passable but a tad greasy. On the positive side, the spacious seating was a welcome feature. During our meal, a talented lady sang live Chinese songs in Mandarin, Cantonese, and English, adding to the atmosphere. However, a rather unhygienic incident occurred as a customer brought a dog into the restaurant, allowing it to sit on the table and even share their food, which was off-putting. The bathroom had appealing decor, but it was marred by an overflowing trash bin, creating a less-than-pleasant experience. Overall, the dining experience was average, with some notable downsides affecting the overall ambiance and cleanliness of the establishment."

"Great spacious restaurant with beautiful decor and great food. We came for brunch . The service was excellent and quite quick. The food was delicious and portions were decent as well as pricing. The deco is amazing. By the time we were leaving it got super packed."

"First thing first, my reaction to the overall experience is a big 'WOW'! I rarely have experiences where I claim to have had the best Chinese food, this is the experience. The best Chinese food in NYC. We ordered 4-5 entrees. It was an explosion of flavors. They are best known for their Roast chicken, we ordered it. We also ordered the fried pork, which was very tender. The braided beef and potatoes were very hearty and the gravy was very delicious. The seafood crab soup was the best soup I've tasted. The shrimp fried rice was also delicious. If you are in New York City, and want delicious Sichuan Chinese food, this is definitely the best."

"The service here was quick and efficient, very nice staff. The place is huge with a ton of space for live music and events, we had someone singing mandarin music during our dinner , she was very good! We ordered a few entrees (fried lamb chops and mixed dry-pot) which were great and the potstickers, 18 beef and house fried rice were great and flavorful as well. Drinks were strong but a little bit sweet for my taste. All in all, great food for a fair price, come hungry and share food with all!"
