Terrific Dim Sum

by charlesmstam at Citysearch

Come to Cafe Evergreen for the dim sum. It is always delicious and in my opinion is your best part bet when it comes to UES Chinese. The decor is getting to be tired and the service can be inconsistent, but I love the roasted pork buns and the squid. The food here is just too good to say no to. The wine list is also interesting.

  • Pros: Out of This World Dim Sum, Extensive Winelist
  • Cons: Tired Decor, Spotty Service
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Delicious and affordable

by jessjessjessi at Citysearch

Such a wonderful array of dishes in a relaxed, intimate atmosphere. The prices are great for the amount of food you receive, and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, always checking up on you. The owner himself one time came to our table to clear our dishes when our waiter didn't show (a rare occurance, but it was late at night). Great place for lunch, dinner, or takeout.

  • Pros: Relaxed atmosphere, good prices

Good food - not too greasy and a nice variety of homestyle and gourmet dishes.

A must try for dim-sum brunch as well.

We need more like this.
