One of the Best in NYC

by ObrienNYC at Citysearch

I have been going here for 5+ years. It is a great neighborhood place. The staff are very nice and the service is great. The food is excellent and the prices are very affordable. I really like their roast chicken and they have great pork chops. As far as Chinese dishes 3's company is also a winner. I go here 2-3 times a month and it is consistently good.

They rush you out

by sweetbkiss at Citysearch

The food and drinks are great, but is not a good place to sit down and enjoy someone's company. As soon as you're done with your meal and you're just enjoying your drink they rush you out! They give you a check and ask you to sit at the bar. I find that to be very rude. Besides that, go there if you're hungry and in a rush, or just take out.

  • Pros: great food, good drinks
  • Cons: They rush you out. Better service at Mcdonalds.

get dessert

by baesill at Citysearch

It feels more like a diner than a restaurant but the portions are large and authentic although the menu is confusing and has too many options. This restaurant has an identity crisis; is it Chinese, Peruvian, or Spanish? The Flan and puddings for desert are great deal for under 2 dollars a piece.

  • Pros: Dessert, cheap prices
  • Cons: huge menu, no atmosphere
