| - This is a rather delayed review, as I have been eating at New York Chinese longer than I have been Yelping.
My wife and I have been eating at New York Chinese for almost three years now, and I have never been disappointed in the food or the service. Now, I've read reviews here on both sides of the middle saying "I'm from New York and I know what New York-style food is all about ..." and then one review says that this or that restaurant makes the best food that's ever been cooked, and the other review says it's not fit to feed your pet. Amidst all the confusion, let me state that the Great Bearded Bird has never been to New York, either city or state, so I can only go on what I like.
Also, in the interest of FULL disclosure, I will state that I have only purchased food for take-out once. All the remainder of my experience with this establishment has been of the "eat-in" variety.
The food has always been top-notch. What should be crisp, has been crisp. What should be savory, has been. Never a complaint on their preparations.
Service has always been outstanding, even when the place is crowded. (With only eight tables, crowded comes easy.) The people are always nice. Story from today ...
For a number of reasons that don't need to be gotten into at this time, it's been about eight months since we've been there. Always meaning to, and always something comes up. Today, we go. We get there, we order our usual (no matter how many times we go, we almost always order the same things), and we sit down and wait. One of the staff, a darling young lady named Michelle, sees us (she's waited on us many times), says "hi!" and comes over to touch base. She tells us she's missed us and how glad she is to see us to know that we're all right. Now, just exactly how many other places do you get that kind of greeting, even if you HAVE been gone a while?
Food: 4-amd-a-half of 5.
Service: 5 of 5.
Of course, we'll be back. Never better. Well done, people. *Sheh-sheh* ("Thank you" in Chinese.)
