So good! I loved the cambodian noodle (ask for egg noodles you will not regret it!). Gave me a taste of home in a foreign country, really loved my meal here. The duck also came in a LARGE portion! Got scolded for not giving enough tip though so beware about that.

What spicy chicken? I waited ten minutes. Not even twenty minutes after I finished eating, he asked me if I had finished eating. There was someone waiting behind me, so hurry up. What rubbish? I waited ten minutes. Not even twenty minutes after I finished eating, he asked me if I had finished eating. Someone is waiting for me behind, please hurry up. Don't you like slow food? Do you want me to hurry up? You idiot. I suggest you don't try it. The smell of this store keeps getting worse. Service is also very poor

This is a nice Chinese restaurant located in the middle of Chinatown. Offering quite a selection of Chinese dishes. Tasty and reasonably priced.

The atmosphere brings me back to my childhood years in the 60’s. It’s closed every Tuesday. All the noodle dish are great. The ducks and kidney are just excellent.

As a kid grew up in Shantou, which is what their food is about (潮州), I was really looking forward to having some hometown food. 潮州粿条(rice noodles)was no where close to what it should be like, the 卤鸡 卤鹅 were like 80% close to the original version, which is pretty good. However, the waitress that we had was pretty rude and demanded us to order faster. Though it is understandable in Chinatown restaurant, she insisted wanting to get more tips from us even though we received no service besides getting our food and being yelled. We told her that we have no more change, we gave her 60 for 55 dollars bill, and she said I will give you some change for a 10 and I will take a few bucks from it because that’s not enough tips. These people are totally ridiculous and please change the name of your restaurant, don’t shame my hometown and country.

Food is below average for a Pho restaurant. They only take cash. And I only learned when I got my check that they they charge a 10% sales tax. NYC’s sales tax is 8.875 sales tax.

AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS

A friend and I decided to try this place out since some of the other reviews we saw online said the food was good and the prices were cheap.

Well after dining there, we can say that we will never go back.

First of all, the food quality was average. Nothing to write home about. We got the half duck, the teo chew sate flat noodle, and the wonton noodle soup and you could’ve gotten the same amount of duck for half the price from flushing.

But what was really unprofessional about them was that after our meal, we asked for the check and she came back with the check and stood at our table watching us take our wallets out and told us exactly how much we had to pay and gave herself a hefty tip included in the final amount so we ended up paying 27% more than we had to.

Needless to say, we will never come back and I can’t see why anyone else would either

Restaurant is pretty boring looking and awkward to go with 1 other person if you’re looking for a fun dinner out. The food is meh for china town. Good prices and friendly staff though.

The worst restaurant that I have ever been. The service is terrible. The waiter and waitress were extreme rude. First, there were no greetings from the waitress. Second, the way the waiter put down the water made a big noise and it felt like he slammed the water pitcher on the table. He then pushed the water toward the middle of the table. The way the waiter and waitress put down the dishes like that we owe them money.

I decided that they don't deserve tips from us. When the waitress found we didn't leave tips she yelled at us so loud inside the restaurant. She then chased us outside and grepped my wife's purse. Finally she yelled us not to go back to the restaurant.

What a terrible experiences. Their noodles are okay and you can find them elsewhere in NYC China town. I don't know if I dare to recommend this noodle cafe to you after this experience.

Love this restaurant so much! I got the Cambodian soup and country style duck. Service is very friendly, and has that cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend!

We came to this restaurant because we were attracted by the menu and the dishes. A first waitress installs us nicely. Then a customer told us that the kitchen was closing in 5 minutes and that we had to order now. A second waitress arrived and mugged and rushed us to order.we barely had time to look at the menu we ordered at random. If it was too late to receive us, we should not have been accepted. The human must come before the lure of gain.

Lousy service. The marinated duck we got was all fat. Soy chicken was pretty good. Noodle soup pretty standard.

This place is truly special. Protect it at all costs. It is truly a gem in our diaspora heritage.

First time back in about a year. I miss this legendary Chinatown eatery and of course their famous Cambodian noodle.

Visited here with a bunch of friends to lower manhattan for some sightseeing and this was a must stop on the Chinatown food crawl. Everything was served quick and all mouthwatering. This restaurant is popular with both the locals and the tourists.

Went in hungry and walked out very content.
