The Scene – If midtown is a culinary desert, Wu Liang Ye would be the hope-inspiring palm tree on the horizon. You wouldn't know it from the look of the place, however: Up a set of stairs, the nearly windowless dining room could moonlight as a bingo parlor, albeit one with chandeliers, a few paintings and a staff wearing deadpan expressions. Fortunately, the chatter of devoted regulars supplements character. – – The Food – Much of the city's Szechuan cuisine is not spicy enough, or so greasy that auto mechanics wouldn't touch it, but Wu Liang Ye finds the perfect…

Spoiled food, beyond rude staff

by gourmandie

Have had spoiled chicken on four separate occasions. Some of the dishes are good, but I never know if I'm going to get bad meat or not. It's not worth the risk. Plus, some of the staff are the most rude people you'll ever meet. I would give this place a no star-rating, if that were possible.

  • Pros: some dishes good, like lo mein
  • Cons: have had stomach aches and headaches from coming here

WOWWW

by marcpay68

WOW! I love this place! We went here this weekend with a couple and they ordered the food for us..I have to say that the Sauteed Shredded Chicken was gone in minutes;-) It was super delicious. Along with that, we had a feast of garlic scallops, a Sauteed Prawn and the Sichuan Pickle (I can't remember the name) and some yummy.Servers were perfect. Definitely one of the most authentic Chinese food I have ever had. We will be back there soon;-)

If you want the food, make reservation

by moon7655

I got there for lunch.

The host didn't care if there's customer waiting or not.

After akward minutes, the question I got was if I have a reservation or not.

There were plenty of tables, but there were none for us without reservation.
