Mister Chen

Disappointed! The upside: the staff is outstanding: friendly, attentive, helpful. Some of the food was great (beef w/scallions, wonton soup, pan fried dumplings). The downside: the main entrees were average (grand marnier shrimp (bland, big disappointment especially after having Chin Chin's (Manhattan) signature version for years), chicken mango (blah), and BBQ pork ribs (not worth it). For the ~$100 ($85 food/$15 tip) we spent, I'd say it was worth $50 ($35 food/$15 tip) max. I plan to stay with Red Plum next door when we go out for Asian style food on the Ave.

So if you decide to try MC (which you should), stick to dumplings where MC excels and stay away from the stuff we found disappointing. Also don't get a table near the door in the winter: repeatedly get blasted with cold air.

A friend and I happened upon this restaurant shortly after they opened and we were not disappointed. It was fantastic. Although they have your typical Chinese restaurant fare, they also serve dishes you don't see around the area like braised pork belly and soup dumplings - both must haves. The staff was so accommodating when were there. We ordered one dish at a time, and asked for recommendations, and the waitress couldn't have been nicer. I highly recommend this restaurant

The pork soup dumplings were amazing...the shredded broccoli and pepper was also amazing...great service. Definitely cant wait to go back

A great dining experience. The food was authentic and delicious. We walked in and we're seated immediately. The wait staff was friendly and helpful. I would definitely try the dumplings made fresh while you wait.

The beef noodles are amazing. I also had 東坡肉, 小籠包 and椒鹽排骨。 The foods here are amazing. They are Taiwanese style foods. It's really hard to find in the east cost.

The people here are really nice. I really enjoy dining here.
