Apparently, they do not serve tea. Pros: Close Cons: Extremely rude service.

Editorial review from Citysearch 7/2/2012

All I want to say is about service , they SUCK!\r After I called check, they presented me the receipt with 15% tips already assigned on it. 15 % is not big deal. But when I ask why they did not let me decide the amount of tips to give, they said because this place is located in the tourism area and leave the words ""just sign it"", leaving us no other choices . Even they didn't lie, what if I want to give them 30% tips but they do not give a chance :P ? Rude service. more

Spoiled food, beyond rude staff 9/9/2009

Have had spoiled chicken on four separate occasions. Some of the dishes are good, but I never know if I'm going to get bad meat or not. It's not worth the risk. Plus, some of the staff are the most rude people you'll ever meet. I would give this place a no star-rating, if that were possible. Pros: some dishes good, like lo mein Cons: have had stomach aches and headaches from coming here more

WOWWW 9/27/2008

WOW! I love this place! We went here this weekend with a couple and they ordered the food for us..I have to say that the Sauteed Shredded Chicken was gone in minutes;-) It was super delicious. Along with that, we had a feast of garlic scallops, a Sauteed Prawn and the Sichuan Pickle (I can't remember the name) and some yummy.Servers were perfect. Definitely one of the most authentic Chinese food I have ever had. We will be back there soon;-) more

If you want the food, make reservation 12/27/2007

I got there for lunch.\r The host didn't care if there's customer waiting or not.\r After akward minutes, the question I got was if I have a reservation or not.\r There were plenty of tables, but there were none for us without reservation. more

Really good Chinese food! 9/2/2006

I don't know how authentic this Chinese restaurant is, but what I do know is that the food taste good over here. I visited New York a few weeks ago and we stumbled across this restaurant on our way to get some cheesecake and Junior's. We were seated and given a menu promptly. The first thing you notice are the prices. They're a little on the high side, but not off the charts. The menu isn't your usual noodles and sweet and sour pork fare, but more on the lines of supposed authentic fare. There were only 2 of us, so we only ordered 3 dishes. We ordered shrimp with a light citrus sauce, pork with plum sauce, and the house fried rice. All 3 were great, especially the shrimp. Since I was only visiting, I doubt I'd go back, but if you're a regular city visitor, then give it a try. Pros: Great food, good atmosphere Cons: A little pricey, location is dark more

Heavenly 8/17/2006

Being a Chinese who love spicy food, Wu Liang Ye has been one of my favorite restaurants in NYC. Sure, it's expensive for Chinese and the 48th st. location is a bit dark and squeezed for me, but the food is consistantly wonderful. I'll just name some of my favorite dishes for those who are going for the first time or been there already: ox tongue and tripe / sliced beef tendon with roasted chili vinaigrette, kung pao chicken / jumbo shrimp, braised fish / beef with napa cabbage and roasted chili, double cooked bacon with capsicum. Pros: One of the best Chinese in NYC Cons: Price, decor more

If you want to taste real Chinese food 1/25/2006

Chinese food in America are prepared sweeter than they are supposed to be in order to appeal general American public. This restaurant doesn't do that. People who loves sweet and sour and greasy Chinese food may not appreciate their dishes. Even though the price may look little more expensive than other Chinese food restaruant, this restaurant is well worth it. I usually go there with my husband and order 3 dishes or so, and bring the left over back home, and eat it over the next three days. Still delicious. Pros: Delicious Cons: Slow service, Small space more

Real Sichuanese food. 1/23/2006

This is one of those places you can't belive the reviewers keep passing over. It's so fantastic and obviously very authentic. The other Sichuanese restaurants in NY can't hold a candle to this place. Try: the dan dan noodles, sesame noodles, kung pao chicken or shrimp (the dish originates in sichuan), mao po tofu, spicy shrimp with capsicum, or any of the dishes in the front of the menu. Also good: cabbage and fish soup -- it's not spicy and should be eaten after your spicy entrees. Note: Hello, this is not the place to get an eggroll or ask for crunchy noodles for your soup. It's amazing how ignorant some people can be even about the concept of regionally authentic food. more

Best She-Sen Chinese in NYC 1/21/2006

There are not that many She-Sen Chinese restaurants in NYC where use real ""sansho peppers"" - which is amazing and addictive spice! If you like ""spicy"" and ""exotic"" taste, then you have to try their dishes. The dishes are little bit overpriced, but I have to say that it worths it! Great for large group so that everyone can share various dishes. more

Best Chinese in the area 10/18/2005

Is comparable to Our Place or Shun Lee. The seafood dishes are especially good and the seafood is FRESH. I recommend the shrimp with asparagus or the crispy pepper scallops. The Kung Pao -- believe it or not -- is really good, too. The sauces that the food comes in has a depth of flavor that could only be attained with fresh ingredients and a knowledgeable chef. If any of these sauces came out of a plastic jug, I want to know where to buy that jug. As for eating in, the space is cramped and service is so-so (though the interior is not unappealing). more

Went to the one on Lexington Avenue 10/17/2005

The beef dish my wife ordered was a little salty. For lunchtime, I thought the price was a little high and that you can go to other places that offer lunch specials. Pros: Convenient location Cons: Salty more

One Word, Tasty 8/1/2005

This place is cooked up some real deal Szechuan style Chinese dishes. The Kung Pao Shrimp and the Fatty Pork Stir Fried are some of the signature entrees. The Dan-Dan Noodle is pretty similared to the one in Szechuan. My only regret is not ordering the Bai-Jo (Chinese Moonshine). One warning. This place is not cheap. Again when is a quality place ever cheap. Pros: Tasty, Authentic, Tasty Again Cons: Expensive more

Best of NYC - Szechuan 5/3/2005

I've eaten here about 20 times in the last 6 months, and this place is very clearly the winner. Another reviewer said forget the others, and I must agree. I've been to all of them. The 3 pepper chicken (spicy capsicum) is ethereal if chicken can be. The tea-smoked beef, the pork chili vinaigrette (accompaniment) are remarkable to no less extent. Something so mundane as hot and sour soup is well worth having. In short, I have had no greater consistency with 9+/10 rating performances anywhere else. more
