What People Are Saying About Amazing 66
Featured Review

The Scene – Though it suffers from the same bright lighting that afflicts so many Chinatown restaurants, Amazing 66 does make a few small gestures toward individuality. A chandelier hangs from a circular ceiling inset, and a few bizarre touches like mini disco balls and displayed bottles of Remy Martin desperately insist that this is where the party's at. Then again, maybe it is, as tables are filled to the limit with a predominantly Chinese crowd. – – The Food – Cantonese cuisine is known for its sparing use of spices and a thorough use of animal parts, and Amazing 66…
Editor's Tips
- Know Before You Go:
- Reservations are not accepted, and if you go with a party of two or three, you may end up seated at one of the large round tables with another small party.
- What to Drink:
- Most drink tea or beer, but a $28 bottle of Cavit Pinot Grigio provides a crisp light counterpoint to the sauces.
- The Extras:
- If fortune cookie and orange wedges don't satisfy your sweet tooth, head over to the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory after dinner.

Great Family Style Chinese Food
by Athena Chang , Citysearch Contributor
I came here with a group of new friends and we ordered tons of dishes for the table to share. Lazy Susan is the best :)
This is my second time here and I was even more impressed this time around. We ordered couple signature dishes such as beef stew with pumpkin and curry Ox tail. OMG! They are sooooo good. They are a little more pricier than other dishes but I highly recommend them.
Also, the Bird's Nest here is great; they gave us tons of scallops and shrimps. Another favorite dish on the menu is their shrimp with rice noodles casserole. I was so full I couldn't fully function afterwards!
- Pros: Great selections and clean

Best food in Chinatown
by bamabest1992
My wife and I ate there in Feb 2009. We had great service. The waiter was very helpful. The food was great. Probably the best oriental food we have ever had. We are going back to NYC soon, and we will certainly revisit.

by dleung92
A really nice restaurant! The decor is welcoming and modern. They have a 40" HDTV hung on the wall for everyone to watch and have dinner. They usually keep it on the sports channel. One of the best Chinese restaurants in Chinatown. The food tastes great! I have ate here so many times and I would highly recommend to others to try this place out. Be warned that this restaurant is extremely busy. Reservations should be made before you come to this restaurant especially at peak lunch/ dinner hours.
- Pros: Food, service, decor, prices
- Cons: NONE
