More like number two.  4 Star Rating - Very good

By florence r. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 6,757

While visiting New York last year I stumbled into this place that claimed it was the Number 1 Chinese Take Out. Judging from the chinese food that I ate earlier that day, this place had to be ranked #2. The food was very greasy but tasty, and it was dead inside. You can't be a #1 store with barely anyone present!

Yuck 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

By dreydre

Despite having a reservation, it took forever to be seated. When we finally sat down, it took forever to get our food. By the time we got our food, the restaurant part cleared out and the music was blasting. I spoke to the owner and he was very rude. I would def. not recommend this place. Take your money and go somewhere decent.

Cons: Very long wait and management was clueless

China 1 - sewer bump! 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

By KarenBu

I was there twice in one year, and I feel an obligation to write this reveiw. On a bachelorette party we were promised so many things from the 2 owners and we were completely dissappointed from the type of food that was initially promised to double booking us and keeping in a lounge for dinner, but the worst part is there is a smell of sewage down there! So disgusting! Then about 5-6 months later I was there for a birthday party and that sewer/toilet smell was there again! That lounge is a sewer hole! There is no way I would eat or drink in this hepititis place! Go there and smell the stench permeating from the sewer. I would be very cautious to ever drink from a glass or eat any food in this place.

Cons: Wrenched smell of sewer,

two thumbs down 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

By jaycolenyc

Had a very bad experience. Made arrangements with management prior to coming. The waitress did not know the menu, the kitchen combined our Dim Sum orders incorrectly, so we had to pass food across a long table. Food can out cold, and several of the main meals can out 20 - 30 minutes after the first main courses were served. Might have a good nightlife seen, but i would avoid eating there at all costs.

Pros: decor
Cons: FOOD/Services

Fun and good food too 5 Star Rating - World class

By samik83

The atmosphere is great, the food and service is also good. It's reasonably priced, and you can make it your whole destination for the night.

Went on a Thursday night for dinner, food was amazing!!! But 3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

By CSMobileUser2

Went on a Thursday night for dinner, food was amazing!!! But that's just where the story begins. I was told by one of the waitstaff that there were going to be some live music performances downstairs shortly so I stuck around. Low and behold the downstairs, which I had no idea was even there, was a beautiful 2 room set up with its own bar!!! The acts were all hip hop and I was loving the whole underground vibe and the music was great. So glad I randomly stumbled into this place, I will be back!!
