Reviews for 3 Times in New York, NY
I like this relaxed Chinese restaurant, I can sit down but still pay at the counter and leave fast enough to get back on time... from my lunch break. Had vegetable fried dumplings and a soda and only cost me like $15 kinda the same price as chipotle Read more
They definitely have alot of orders for take out delivery. The waiter/cashier guy with glasses is very nice and professional.... Very traditional Chinese food that I may need to try out their dumplings next time. Read more
Solid USQ Chinese spot! I don’t consider this spot strictly dim sum, so I tried their other dishes. So I got the dry pepper... chicken (great), pork soup dumplings (ok), salt and pepper ribs (also ok), Shanghai fried noodles with pork (really loved this),and the scallion pancake with beef (will be back for this). Decent portions for what you pay for, considering the location Read more

Modernized Dim Sum The interior of this place is absolutely stunning. Walking in for the first time during lunch we were blown... away by the aesthetic of this place. The kitchen can be seen through a glass window with the wait staff entering and exitingthrough one of the doors. It’s also really spotless here and they pride in cleanliness based on the style of open kitchen andtheir staff always being on the watch for any cleaning. Which leads me to the staff. At first we were seated and handed ourmenus. I felt a bit uncomfortable because it felt like they were staring us down. But, realizing that the staff here are trainedto be as responsive as possible based on the way I was observing the other tables being waited. Which means when the moment youput down your menus they immediately come over to take your order because that is what they were trained to do so. So if youcatch them staring continuously that might be why. Please keep in mind that there can be cultural difference between how somepeople are trained, but it doesn’t apply to everyone. Some Asian places aren’t trained to engage socially and are moretrained to be responsive and turn around tables quick and this is one of them. If you are looking for a place where the staff issocial, this is not the spot. On to the food, I think the more traditional dishes not pictured here are much tastier. However,the more American Chinese styled food is simple. Nothing on the menu we had was amazing and different. But we enjoyed theflavors. Read more
Got delivery from here late night and wouldn’t do it again. The cucumber was gross, wilted and squished. The pork dumplings... were incredibly dry. The chicken mushroom wontons in chili oil were really good, but with only 1/3 being edible it’s notenough for me to ever return here. Read more
Farabe and I came here for a quick lunch while we were in the area. Upon entry, the restaurant was empty except for the... employees. The restaurant was clean and had a nice modern aesthetic to it. Towards the kitchen, you can see the staff cookingand making the hand pulled noodles. I ordered the seafood fried rice ($15) and was told it would be shrimp with crab meat. I wasassuming actual crab meat but, was given a few flakes of intimation crab meat instead. The rice itself was bland and had noflavor. I requested some additional soy sauce and hot oil and that really spiced up the flavor profile. Farabe ordered theShanghai fried noodles with chicken ($13). The noodles were delicious with the perfect amount of chew and saltiness. I woulddefinitely come back again to eat this. The service was okay. They were efficient but, not really friendly. They only stoppedby to take orders, drop off food and check. No one really checked in on us to see if we needed anything or how we were enjoyingour food. Read more
Passing by this restaurant for many times, finally get a chance to grab a bite. Chicken fried rice cake is pretty neat. As I... Shanghainese, I say it’s really authentic. The crab and pork xiaolongbao has too thick skin. Above all, it’s a nice quickbite Chinese food place. Read more
