A great place Midtown for Sichuanese specialties. I had the Braised fish with napa cabbage in hot chilli oil, and it was as good as I remember from my time in Chengdu (down to má là wèi xíng, caused by the mouth numbing, slightly soapy tasting Sichuanese pepper -- banned in the US until just a few years ago). Good times! Service was also very good, with constant attention to my water glass, and friendly recommendations from the waiters.
However please don't order the laowai favorites like kung pao ANYTHING and General Tso's, unless you're also the type to order grilled chicken at Peter Luger's.
While others recommend the pan-seared pork dumplings, I have to take off one star for them -- they are full of meat, but the outside was overdone and tasted too oily. No one does pork buns like the Shanghainese, I guess...
If you're looking to be treated like a HUMAN BEING this is NOT the place to be.....
First, they make you wait over 20 min for a table when there are over 13901381093 free tables....
Then it gets better, you finally sit down and think," Alright, can't get worse than that ridiculous wait....." but oh it gets worse....they didn't give us menus for about 15 min...the food was just OK nothing amazing or even worth mentioning...
OVERALL...$$ better spent elseware.....
No serious issue with the food, but the service was pretty bad.
The 3 of us shared cold noodles, spicy dumplings, stir fried chicken, fish with tofu, string beans and a fish dish. Over all, taste was okay, but we never felt welcome.
And then, we had a lot of fish left over as we just ordered too much and the fish took a while to show up. However, the fish disappeared from the table before we even had a chance to ask for it to get boxed up.
So I wonder, who paid again for our leftovers.
We had to wait a bit for a table (10 minutes) but there really were no tables available- we had to wait for people to leave but the table was then readied promptly. The food was definitely worth the small wait. I can't remember the last time I had Chinese food this good. The meat was very good quality though they don't devein the shrimp which creeps me out. Then again, I never saw deveined shrimp in China either. The Szechuan pork dumpling appetizer was amazing as was the sesame chicken, the shredded chicken with garlic and everything else we ordered! I wish that it had been more spicy. We were ordering food with one and two peppers next to it on the menu, but maybe we appeared to be beginners and they took it easy on us :(
One of the best chinese restaurants in Manhattan. This place has awesome food and the decor is very nice.
Make sure to make reservations because this place is always booked.
Food is great (for midtown / touristy zone), service is...well this is Chinese so never mind. WE love to start with sesame noodle, dumplings, duck, and shark soup. No complaint here. You get what you pay for, and food is great. You may have to wait in long line most of the times, and streets are very disgusting (thanks Today's show!)
Excellent food and outstanding service.
Thank god for seamless web, as I work my ass off from my hotel room.
The ma po tofu is probably one of the best I've ever had. The won tons don't have any shrimp in them, but they are still really tasty. Just the right amount of sesame oil etc. And the sauteed spinach was cooked just right with yummy pieces of garlic.
I'm a big fan!
The food was actually better than we had expected considering the fact that upon entering, there is a strange smell that gets your olfactory going. We ordered spicy string beans, a tendon dish, chicken dish and a vegetarian dish and everything came out piping hot and the spices and flavors were a perfect balance. I wish they smell of the restaurant was a little better than I wouldve given them an extra star.
This has got to be a gem in the Time Square area in terms of Asian food in general but specifically very authentic Chinese food, some of which I have not even had here in the Bay Area where it is dominantly Asian!
This place is ALWAYS packed so unless you are willing to cram (and sometimes you have no choice), you should make a reservation in advance and show up at least 15 minutes early. The service here is prompt and food comes out fast, it's almost fast in and fast out but the food is delicious. They have very unique, VERY Mandarin appetizers that you would be hard pressed to find in many other places in the United States in general and the flavors they have are definitely authentic, coming from someone who was born and raised in China for 10 years.
My favorite was their noodle soup :) on a cold winter day, it is the perfect fix.
Goods: Beef tripe and tongue appetizer, Sesame cold noodles, Braised beef with cabbage, Twice cooked pork, Chinese squash with dried scallops, Kung Pao jumbo shrimp.
Bad: Fried fish fillet with sweet/spicy sauce (fish wasn't fresh), General Tsao's Chicken (too Americanized), cramped and somewhat badly lit dinning room, pricey if dine in (I think it's a bit cheaper if you take it out).
By the way, the midtown location is better than the upper east one.
It looks like an upscale restaurant inside, but the food ranges from outstanding to mediocre.
On the recommendation of another yelper I ordered the Dan-Dan noodles and told them to make them *really* spicy. The waiter asked if I was sure, and I motioned to the ceiling saying "absolutely". They didn't disappoint. It wasn't paint stripper strong, but after 5 minutes of eating my nose had a slight drip and I couldn't feel my tongue. Hot, but deliciously so. I'm worried I won't find a similar dish back in Central New York when I go home it was so good. One thing: the sauce they used will splatter if you give it a chance, so be careful. Neither my shirt nor the table cloth was unscathed before I noticed.
The General Tso's was on the other end. I asked for that to be hot, but it was mild and bland. The portion was more than enough, but a very unremarkable dish. I think the noodle chef didn't do my General Tso's; I have to wonder how the dish would have been if it was done the same was as my noodles.
The staff was attentive and pleasant, and were never in the way or pushy. With the exception of the main entree I enjoyed myself. Too bad I won't be in town long enough to find other dishes like the noodles.
come here if you live or work after the area and wants decent chinese food with pretty authentic Hunan flavor dishes(im from Hunan actually so I know), the down side is that you will be spending more $$ for each dish compared to most places in Chinatown, about 20% more pricier. but people come to this place mainly for the LOCATION!! if you are here during weekdays most people eating here are business man taking lunch breaks. so don't come here with chinatown standards cuz you won't be their perferred customers. if you do dine here, their DanDan noodle, Mapo tofu, 3 pepper chicken are all really good and packs a TON of heat (spicy even for Hunanness like myself). Highly recommand this place if you are around the area but not really worth making a trip to otherwise.
I wandered into Wu Liang Ye after being dumbstruck by too many choices on Open Table. I just wasn't in the mood for spit and polish, just dinner. And Wu Liang Ye was just a few blocks from my hotel. I'm glad I stopped in.
The dan dan noodles were really good, rich and salty-hot. The crumbles of pork on top touched that bacon pleasure spot in my brain. I hope no one saw me poke around the empty bowl with my finger to scrounge the last bits.
I wanted soup, but only the hot and sour came in a small-enough size. Not bad, but it struck me as weird how so many hot and sour soups seem to be exactly the same, as if Nestle had a hot and sour factory somewhere that sent tanker trucks of the stuff out to points around the globe.
I was imagining underground tanks for the stuff when the very aptly named stir-fried chicken with mixed capsicums arrived. Picture this: twice fried piece of hacked-up chicken tossed with fistfuls of dried hot chilli, mild green peppers like Japanese shishito, and hot green chillis that might have been serranos, but God only knows. The whole mess was lubricated with chilli oil and, judging from how numb it made my tongue, a decent hit of Schezuan pepper corn. The dish ranked with Prince's Hot Chicken Shack in Nashville as my favorite things on Earth to do with chicken and hot peppers. My only regret is that I went to Wu Liang Ye alone and thereby missed trying more dishes--especially now that i see the photo of the special razor clam dish...
God, do I love this place. I think it is better than most restaurants in chinatown.
Their Mapo tofu is a revelation. Unlike any I've ever had before. In fact, last night, all I had was the Mapo tofu and a bowl of white rice, and I was in heaven. And I wasn't bored either. The szechuan dumplings are addictive.
There is a deserved sense of pride here. Even the hot and sour soup is good here, not the usual glop.
The waiter recommended dan dan noodles once... I thought they were just ok, the szechuan dumplings were more to my liking.
The seafood is generally excellent, just steer clear of the sweet dishes, they seemed to be more for the tourists.
You should try to get a reservation, as it is usually pretty full, unless you are alone, you can sit at the bar and chat with the nice bartender lady.
Went here with some coworkers and didn't know what to expect, either fast food Chinese or overpriced fast food Chinese. It's overpriced Szechuan *spicy* style Chinese food with bad service.
We were a small party of 3 and got seated all the way in the back far corner where we were forgotten about after our food was brought out.
Here's the dishes we tried:
Appetizer - Poached Chicken with spicy garlic soy peanut (this is a cold dish *surprise* with diced chicken & spicy peanuts)
Main - Steamed Spare Ribs with roasted spiced rice & sichuan pepper corn (there was a weird overcooked rice with something that we couldn't figure out what it was, maybe mashed red beans? but the texture threw us off)
Main - Stir Fired Chicken ** with spicy capsicum (this was actually decent out of our dishes)
Main - Shredded Pork * with spiced tofu & cayenne chili (We asked for mild but I guess they only serve spicy)
Their menu is not typical Szechaun Chinese food. It's as if they tried to make up their own creative Szechaun style. We're all Chinese and none of us liked it, and we agreed to never come back.
I ordered the pan seared pork dumplings and they were delicious and very meaty! I also had the crispy chicken with lemon sauce, and it's as great as it sounds, and the vegetable fried rice. They are serious with the vegetable fried rice, it is PACKED with veggies, including broccoli which I hate. :-( But it was still tasty after picking them out.
The decor and service were great and friendly. We had to wait a little for the check cause all the waiters were huddled around a TV watching a basketball game, but they were very nice and efficient.
Great place to go with the family. Very friendly and attentive service.
We ordered various dishes that were all very tasty, but my favourites were were sesame chicken and chicken fried rice with spinach.
I finally had the chance to come back for dinner; with a group of Szechuan fans.
We ordered some recommended dishes and some favorite dishes we've had at other good Szechuan restaurants. Here's what we ordered:
1. hot and spicy soup (ok, not spicy enough)
2. dan dan noodles (very good)
3. steamed bacon with garlic (very tasty, not spicy enough)
4. beef tendon (great flavor, not spicy enough)
5. jelly fish with scallion pesto (ok)
6. fried whole fish with spicy miso sauce (good, not spicy enough)
7. stir-fried sing gwa (very good)
Overall the flavors were good and portions generous; but for the spicy chili lovers we are, the food was disappointing - not nearly as spicy as we hoped them to be.
I'm not rushing back here soon, but it's a great introduction to the flavors of Szechuan cuisine.
This place serves up some good Chinese Szechuan cuisine. I should know, I have a lot of experience… Read more »
We just ordered waaay too much food for delivery. Started with eh Dan Dan noodles which, as promised, were awesome (we had them mild, as my son is not a huge spice fan). Also had the steamed buns (quite tasty) and the pan seared pork dumplings. Dip those babies (the dumplings) in the hot oil and you have quite a treat.
We had the chicken with cashews, which was perfectly cooked. White meat, excellent sauce. The container was filled with chicken and cashews, so you will both get a lot, and get your money's worth. We also had the Ma Pao Tofu. Simply sublime. The sauce is completely addictive, and the tofu cooked perfectly.
On the not-so-good side was the pepper-salted prawns. They were huge, cooked perfectly (like everything else), and there were a lot of them. The problem? The skin was still on the shrimp, which had been butterflied before being coated and then fried. I have never eaten shrimp skin intentionally, and I don't think shrimp skin is edible. The sad part was that having to pick away the skin took away the tasty outer layer of seasonings, and ruined the dish which had such potential.
All of this, with 3 containers of white rice, was $76. A little steep for chinese food, but the taste was far better than most. And, we have lunch from leftovers.
I dunno man, I wasn't impressed. Delivery came fine but the dumplings and sechuan chicken I ordered were covered in this chili oil grease and it wasn't flavorful. The fried rice, while better because it was white rice as it should be instead of that yellow crap you get at the corner chinese stores with the bulletproof glass...it didn't appear to be fried but steamed and had this weird smokey taste. Meh.
This place has pretty authentic Szechuan food and the prices are reasonable. All of the dishes we ordered were good (Herbed Spring Bamboo Shoots, Steamed Vegetable Dumplings, Stir Fried Prawns, Chicken with Spicy Capsicum.) We also ordered the West Lake Beef Chowder which my bf liked but I thought was not authentic enough. Warning: most of the dishes are pretty spicy so be prepared!
Chinese Cuisine
Do you like spicy chinese food? Well you have come to the right spot. I'm just as surprised as you to find good chinese food in Manhattan that is not located in Chinatown!!!
We had ordered several dishes to try out how spicy tasting and good they were, and boy, we were not disappointed. We had ordered the dan dan noodles, spicy wonton, spicy string bean, a spicy beef dish, sweet and pungent crispy fish filets and the only non-spicy dish a shredded chicken with vegetable dish.
Overall the spiciest item that we had ordered were the Dan Dan noodles. They had a nice spicy kick to it, and it was very good. I liked the flavor of the dish. The spicy wontons did not have much spice to it, but it had some slight sweet taste which was interesting to me. I enjoyed it. The entrees were surprisingly good. The spicy string beans weren't overly spicy but were good. The spicy beef surprised me as I enjoyed it very much. It was a good combination of flavors. The crispy fish was very good too. I'm not sure if everyone was hungry or the food was good, but that dish was gone quite quickly!
All the dishes tasted very good and no complaints from me about this restaurant. A nice rare find in midtown amongst the many crappy chinese food spots, this is a very nice place. No wonder it has been here for many many many years. A must try!
Wu Liang Ye is another awesome chinese restaurant outside of chinatown.
Whenever rating chinese restaurants i place the chinese restaurants outside of chinatown on a much lower standard. Granted that Wu liang Ye is good on its on and could compete fairly in chinatown it unfortunately would not stand out.
But for being outside of chinatown its a gem. You just have to remember you can not compare these to Chinatown restaurants.
Wu Liang Ye is a little pricey for chinese food but then again like i said before its outside of chinatown which warrants the higher prices.
I have eaten here approximately 8-10 times. I have tried a nice chunk of their menu and I have to say i have not been disappointed once. The ingredients were top notch. The fish tasted pretty fresh and lobster was also delicious. I recommend every dish i ordered. Nothing was bad at all here at Wu Liang Ye. There are a few locations in the city or maybe just two. I think ive seen at least 2 and ive been to both of them. Good quality at both places.

Definitely the best Siquan restaurant in NYC and the best location of the Wu Liang Ye chain. Everything I visit NYC I make a point to stop by here for a meal.
They have both spicy and less-spicy dishes though the spicy ones are highly recommended. Get a few appetizer dishes to share with your group. You won't regret it. I'd recommend the Hand Shredded Chicken with spicy sesame vinaigrette and Dan Dan Noodles. For the main course, try the steamed bacon (taste much much better than it sounds) that melts in your mouth. Of course, the Ma Po Tofu.
On the whole, just stay away from the familiar westernized offerings, and order their specialty dishes. Your taste buds would thank you for that.
I was first brought to Wu Liang Ye by a former colleague who had emigrated to the US from China at age 30 and considered it her favorite restaurant in NY and the only one that really got the food of her native Sichuan province right. To be honest, I'm not really qualified to judge authenticity myself, but I feel more than capable of rating the food here as delicious. I am addicted to the sichuan pork dumplings - sometimes I come here and just have two orders for lunch.
They have food to please the adventurous - razor clams and tripe - as well as the timid. - My wife loves the chicken in lettuce cups and the tangerine prawns. My favorites are the tea smoked duck and double cooked pork with spicy capsicum. For lunch, I'd say make sure you have a reservation or show up before noon, because this place is always packed. IMHO this is as good as anything in Chinatown.
Just realized that I never wrote a review about this place even though I have been coming here for a couple of years.
Accidentally found this place during a business trip, it became a favorite.
Must have the dan dan noodles. OMG. Last Tuesday, I had it for lunch and then again for dinner.
If you don't have a reservation during lunch time, you can forget about it... Super busy, super greasy but super tasty.
The food sure tastes and looks authentic. A bit on the salty side though. What's worth ordering: dan dan noodles, pan fried fish with pickled mustard green sauce, tea-smoked duck, clams served in long shells (?) .
They close by 10pm on weeknights so don't show up too fashionably late.
Had dinner here by recommendation by of someone in our party. Not a huge fan of Szechuan cuisine, even though I am a fan of spicy foods. Mind you, this is the first time I had tried a chinese restuarant in nyc, but compared to southern California this restaurant CANNOT compare. The dishes had decent portions, but everything just tasted like chili flakes/oil. It's hard to please a picky palate .. esp. a picky palate from California ;)
I was craving some Chinese food and was in NYC on business. This place was close to my hotel and since it had such good ratings on Yelp, I decided to check it out.
It was delicious. I spent a year in Nanjing, China, and although I haven't been diligent about finding authentic Chinese since I've come back, the Ma Po Dofu I had at Wu Liang Ye is about the best I've had since I was in Sichuan Province. I was completely stuffed, but I kept going back to my bowl to get just one...more....piece...of tofu.
The restaurant was filled with Chinese people, straight-up mainland folk speaking Mandarin. I felt right at home.
I'm definitely coming back with more people so that I can order up a bunch of stuff.
Every time I come to NYC I make sure to eat here. We stumbled upon this place about a year ago and things haven't been the same since.
Place totally ruined me on dan dan noodles anywhere else. You wont find any place that makes them better than here. Trust me, I live in the Bay Area, where it's basically China part 2, i have some credibility in this space.
Also get the Sichaun Bao, little clouds of love filled with some epically good meat.
Make sure to make a reservation for dinner, the place fills up quickly.
Yes! So after reading the reviews I went here with some friends for lunch and all of us were blown away. We ordered a special fried rice, Beef with String beans and General Tsos chicken. All three of these dishes were amazing, fresh and delicious. The general tsos wasn't too sugary and was plenty spicy for once. The peas didn't have strips of beef, but minced pieces of beef scattered on it. Same with the fried rice, no chunks of pork but minced pieces, it almost looked like a spice, but it gave every bite a taste of delicious smoked pork. Genius!
The service was fast and attentive (4 water fillups) and although the prices are more than a hole in the wall (13.95 for General Tsos, 10 for fried rice), its less than Shun Lee or Tang Pavilion and a whole world better. The interior was cozy and relaxing, not too loud even though it was full, and just a great vibe. Will DEFINITELY be going again and again.
NB - The Lunch special is for TAKE OUT ONLY.
Their dan dan noodles and spicy chicken with capsicum have gotten me through many a craving for spicy food through the years. In fact, it was eating there in the first place that inspired new cravings hitherto foreign to my body, thus beginning an addictive cycle. For instance, right now, I cannot stop thinking about these spices, even the ones they throw on top of the veggie dumplings. In fact, typing this alone has triggered the pavlovian urges--I'm going to have to call on them tonight, if I can make it that long.
++++++++++
Update, 4/24/08. I've gone veggie recently, but jonesing the capsicum, I gave the Smoky Wok a chance. This is sauteed hot peppers in a garlic chili sauce. Nothing but peppers. The waiter twice tried to talk me out of it. The kitchen staff repeatedly peeped around the corner to see if I could take it. I could. And I can say it's one of the best things I've ever eaten. If you like things HOT and if you're into the vegan or vegetarian thing and you're near Times Square, you must try the Smoky Wok.
This is the only place in midtown that I go for Chinese food. It's officially Sichuan but, honestly, unless your Chinese, you're not going to taste the difference b/w this vs Hunan vs Szechuan, etc.
What you will notice is that it's higher quality than the typical Chinese take-out hole. Better quality meat, more subtle sauces...
While the dining room is nice here, I only do take out. Almost everyone eating there is Asian - which is a good thing for an Asian restaurant (and just an interesting or peculiar phenomenon for other establishments). The few times I've tried to eat there, they claimed longer waits for a table than I would've guessed by glancing at the tables and the people waiting. Now I'm not saying the wait wouldn't be as long if I didn't bring some 'cauc' with my 'asian' but consider it alluded to....
The lunch specials are a very good value. $7.50 for one of 24 entrees, rice (i recommended the veg fried), and an egg roll. I recommend the beef dishes (w/ string beans, w/ broccoli) and the sliced chicken with garlic sauce. The General Tso's/Tangerine/Sesame chicken feature nice chunks of chicken but I don't love the sauces (the sesame seems a bit too much sweet-n-sour, tangerine isn't as interesting as it sounds).
I also HIGHLY recommend calling in the order. You can get the menu via Menupages. It takes at least 15 minutes for your order and I've had times where I ordered via phone and they told me to come by in an hour! Just another way that Wu Liang Ye differentiates itself from the usual quick turnaround, sketchy quality Chinese restaurant...
It's a mediocre place with ok prices that serves Szechuan. That's about all it has going for it.
Word of advice, go directly there. Do not order from them, do not pass go, do not collect $200. Their delivery is horribly slow and delayed and when you call they may have actually lost your order.
It took two attempts on two separate dates and each time I called, I had waited for a full hour.
What gives? If your excuse is that you are very busy, that's a poor excuse! Hire some more delivery people and up your service if you're so busy! Clearly you're making money, and stop losing my order! I even tried to use my limited Chinese the third time I called in hopes I would receive better service. Alas you just suck no matter what.
I was expecting some good food based on everyone's glowing reviews. It's certainly better than your neighborhood Chinese take out joint, but it's nothing that will make me endure the pain of trying to get some food from here. Everything that was supposed to be spicy wasn't which royally sucks.
Perhaps when I'm less irate with them, I'll walk in and give them a try.
You've been warned! Don't order delivery!
The noodle and vegetable dishes are very good. Anything you order that contains pepper oil is going to have a lot of pepper oil in it. Too much pepper oil. Way too much pepper oil.
I used to come here all the time when I worked in 30 Rock. They have awesome Dan Dan Noodles! I've also ordered a number of items for takeout/delivery and have always been satisfied.
Not being Chinese, I can't speak to its authenticity. I am Asian though so it's not like I exactly have a Western palate. That said, it's probably one of the better places in midtown for some Sichuan cuisine in the middle of a busy work day (i.e., when going to Chinatown is simply not a viable option).
(Sichuan Grill on 51st & 9th is also good.)
Went here for dinner on my date's recommendation. She claims it's both the most expensive and the most authentic Chinese restaurant in the city (she maintains that Shun Lee is not actually Chinese food). Based on what my friend's mom used to occasionally cook for me (once upon a time, she was a chef in a restaurant on mainland China), I have to agree.
Since we weren't all that hungry, we ordered two appetizers and one main dish. They were:
Tripe with cow tongue
Vegetable dumplings
Sea Cucumber
I'm not a huge fan of either tripe or sea cucumber (she did all the ordering), but I have to say that these dishes were all outstanding. The spices they use are unlike anything I've ever had before. Instead of being a burning-type spiciness it is instead just a persistent gentle warming of your mouth. Both the tripe and sea cucumber dishes exhibited these characteristics. The dumplings, even though I always prefer meat, were also outstanding. I'm not sure what exactly they were filled with, but they had a pleasant, not overly veggie-flavored taste.
The service was courteous, attentive, and prompt (it might help that my date seemed to be on a first-name basis with half of them).
4 Stars for Wu Liang Ye.
Excellent yummy place! Except it would have been nice if they had warned us about portion size...seven people ordered eight dishes, and that was a good three too many. Luckily we have a lovely new fridge in our lovely new office, making it easy to store our leftovers until...oh heck it's Chinese we'll be hungry in the next hour.
We basically sampled the whole menu:
Beef fillet with spicy tea sauce (holy cow that was some juicy cow!)
Chicken with cashew nuts (no we did not need 2 orders, but it's yummy!)
Chicken with pine nuts appetizer (not appetizer sized, but delicious also, especially with plum sauce)
Moo Shu Pork (I don't eat pork, but it looked quite good)
Tangerine Chicken (delicious, and spicy!)
Broccoli with garlic sauce (serious garlic sauce, not the crap local delivery place sauce, so be careful)
Chicken Lo Mein (wonderful flavor)
Yeah, well, it's a bit pricier than we had planned, but our stomachs are grateful, so what more can you ask for?
A joy. Tan Tan Mien (Dan Dan Noodles)--the real thing, rare even in New York. Followed with cold poached rooster--cut on the bone, in a chile vinagrette, truly finger licking good. (I recommend you eat with your fingers and suck meat of the bone.) Ended with authentic as it get Ma Po Tofu--steaming, savory, tingling with Sichuan Pepper corns. Recommend you follow meal with a visit to Maison du Chocolat around the corner and drink a cup of dark hot chocolate to clean the taste of spicy out of your mouth.
