24th Street location still open, but 50th Street location closed
Monday, February 25, 2008
I studied abroad in Beijing last spring for 5 months and I would describe this restaurant as between "american chinese" food and authentic chinese food. They speak mandarin, not cantonese, so I could practice the language.
Also, to explain the confusion about the restaurant being closed: there were two locations both on 9th ave (one between 50th and 51st and a second at 24th) and the first closed sometime in the fall of 2007. The woman who answered the phone at the 24th street location told me something about a lease running out.
Pros: good food, nice staff, speak mandarin, moderately priced
