This place is in Chinatown off of Hester St. We were looking for Cantonese style cuisine, and honestly there was nothing spectacular or bad. The pea shoots with garlic had a taste of wine flavor to it, and was good. The pepper salted pork chops was good as well. It would have been nice if they added more peppers and scallions. The pepper salted shrimp was just ok for me.

It’s a bit of a trek, but it’s a much cheaper place for Peking Duck. The whole peking duck was actually pretty good and reasonably price. The skin was a nice crisp, and the duck was pleasantly fat. The fried shrimp was mistakenly ordered. We thought it was going to be the whole pepper salted shrimp with head. Even then, it was also decent. The other dishes, pea sprouts and yang chow fried rice, were not much different than other Chinese places.

Good XLB. Was flavorful, BUT the price is pretty expensive for what you get. The dessert XLB filled with nutella/banana was gimmicky but tasted good.

Stumbled onto this just walking around. Was interested in salted pepper pork chops. All we got for a quick afternoon snack was just pan fried rice cakes with pork and the pork chops. Nothing to write home about, but the food was good for what we ordered. Note that we did not order the soup dumplings because frankly there are a gazillion other places to order this, so why would you order it here?

This place’s beef noodles was just OK. I’ve had better. The portion size is just ok. I also got a side of bean curd, and it was a little on the salty side.

Known for their XLBs, it was pretty darn tasty. They also have stinky tofu too and it’s all pretty cheap.

Cheap. It’s ok beef noodle + stinky tofu. Beef noodle with mustard green was ok.

Decent noodles. Cheap. Tastes kind of homely.

Decent personalized hotpot place. Similar to Boiling Point.

Taiwanese beef noodle was pretty good. $$$ but the broth was good. Long wait, but not sure if it’s worth it. I kinda want to make my own again.
