We take the subway to frequent this place. Chinatown meets the UES. You can do lunch on a weekday for around $5 if you pick the right dishes (sm. hot & sour soup and a roast pork bun were about $4.75). The food is great and the portions of the entrees are large. We love the crispy chicken with scallions and ginger. I'm a serious sucker for the buns listed in the appetizer section: big, fluffy, feels like true sustenance. Iced green teas aren't the best deal ($4 a glass), but I do like the apple-spiked variety. Upstairs seating is gorgeous. Also, the service is stern but quick and attentive.
