OK Ribs & High Quality at a Price
by UncleMarty15
I saw NPH reviewed on the Travel Channel program BBQ Paradise. Made a special trip to try, and Hey! Fergetaboutit!!! - Ribs were high quality & very tasty - chinese style, a little sweet, little to no char or crunch and no heat. But $8 for 6 medium sized pork ribs (or $12 for 8 ribs) ??? The value problem continued ...... tried a very tasty & tender salt & pepper squid from the "specials" menu - $9 for a very undersized portion (maybe $1.50 worth at RETAIL) dressed with a little sad iceburg lettuce and some cilantro crumbs...... small fried dumplings were likewise very good, seemingly made in-house and a bargain at $6 for 6.
So if you live in the nabe and have the bucks, go for it ..... overpriced, but this IS the UES... on the flip side, this is E82 & 2nd Ave., not really high roller territory.... we walked from the Met museum to check it out..... next time we will head straight downtown.....There are better ribs in NYC and far better values in quality Chinese food.
- Pros: Food Quality, Service
- Cons: Value, Undersized Portions

Heavenly butt!
by TestyGuest
The best butt I've eaten anywhere! Seriously, the food here is way above average - fun concepts, no grease, and plenty of fresh vegetables in nicely-flavored stir-fry dishes. The roast pork butt will appeal to meat lovers. The service was great, everything was reasonably-priced, and we had plenty of time to sit and enjoy our meal with no pressure whatsoever to vacate our table. I'm already plotting my next visit.

best chinese food at upper east side
by ccsy888
Went there on last Tuesday and the service was very good. Everyone was extremely nice, and the food did not take long to arrive at our table. I had a good time, and was able to carry a conversation without them trying to rush you out of the restaurant. The taste and quality of the food were good as well. The food doesnt have excesses amounts of oil. If you want good chinese food where the quality and service of the food are great then go to Pig Heaven
