    I've lived up here for over 5 years and eat here at least once a week for those 5 years in fact I just saw my boy Lyn in the elevator as I was coming home tonight.  Best crappy white people chinese you will ever get from a take out joint, Best. Dot.Period End of sentence.

    HomeBoy on the wok knows his shit.

    And anywhere I can get a good chicken and mixed veg with rice and tostones that don't suck is A ok!

    Lyn's wife she's the one with th "@#$% you" look yea dont #$%^ with her but once you get passed that face shes actually very nice with a memory like a trap she'll get your order right even if you twist it up. One time only they screwed an order up and totally made good on it. Awesome family.

    I have ordered take-out from this place about three times. Last night I ordered the General Tso's tofu with brown rice. It took about 5 to 10 minutes and came out piping hot. The total cost for a full meal? $4.75.

    The brown rice was cooked very well and tasted good. The tofu was seasoned well and was slightly spicy. Some places make the tofu crispy for the dish but 137 Broadway makes the tofu fairly soft on the outside.

    I recommend this place.

    Huge portions of mediocre, inauthentic Chinese food. It's between the 1 and my apartment so I go here all the time. I usually don't manage to eat all of it; there's just too much food.

    I find it interesting that the guys in front that take orders know Chinese, English, and Spanish.

    There is no question that this is not good "Chinese" food, but there is also no question that it is cheap, hugely portioned, and quickly delivered edible "food" food.

    I have found myself inexplicably drawn to the General Tso's Bean Curd.  Inexplicable because I don't do vegetarian stuff, but somehow it's tasty and satisfying.  I assume they add a gentle dusting not of MSG but of sweet delicious crack.  It's the only thing that explains it.

    One of the better Chinese Food Restaurants in the Hamilton Heights section of Harlem. We have had a few places open and close and rename themselves, all while their horrible food remains the same.  

    I ordered from this place on a whim and have never been disappointed. The food is good, the service is good and I've never had a problem with my orders.  I continue to order from them and recommend them as well.

    Religiously came in here for Chinese food during my days at city college. Wow did I eat a lot of fried rice and chicken.

    We always delivered. In fact I remember once in my whole time there where I actually went to the location. We were a bunch of lazy bastards anyway. This really is your standard cheap Chinese food. Don't expect fancy.

    It's a great place to go when you want filler food and your crapping for that exam you forgot about.
