We went for New York for a long weekend and wanted to have a nice dinner on Saturday. When we passed Chef Yu (corner of 8th Ave and 36street), it looked appealing. Very cosy, which is quite hard to find in New York, unless you want to spend big bucks. And guess what? The food was GREAT and the prices very modest. As a starter we had Shrimp Dumplings: 8 dumplings for the price of only $5.99 and springrolls around $2. The portion of the springrolls was very small, but then again, so was the price. The dumplings were really very tasty. For main course we had Prawns with mango ($13.25) and Prawns with vegetables ($11.95). And it was full of prawn: 9 in each dish! Top that of with a nice Pinot Grigio of only $7 and a coke of $1.60. and we had a complete meal for a mere $45 dollars and it was very very nice. So I recommend going to Chef Yu if you like good chinese food for affordable prices in a cosy atmosphere.
Pros: Great food, nice portions, cosy ambience
