Some of the best Chinese food around, fast, friendly and will do substitutions sometimes, so ask. Their shrimp in lobster sauce is mouth-watering. I loved it. Even when it is crowded the wait for a table isn't long, they have a fast turn around. Prices are good and the atmosphere is nice. It is quiet enough that you can carry on a conversation with someone. Would definitely go back.

The extensive menu features many items typically found only in Chinatown. <br> The contemporary decor is pleasant and affords the diner a comfortable environment. The staff is courteous and attentive.

Most of the menu is verbal, so people don't even bother looking at the brief items printed out. It's advisable to let the classy Eileen Leong guide you through her creative seasonal specialties. Three generations have been coming here since 1977, and there's an in-the-know clubby feel to the clientele, which is missing at many other Chinatown spots. On a nondescript block and practically under the Manhattan Bridge, the quadrangular dining room is surprisingly attractive and decorated in shades of blue. Standout items are diced wintermelon, stuffed clams, and crispy chicken with scallions. If you go to Canton, you'll find a restaurant that serves guests Cantonese and Chinese.

You automatically think Chinese food is greasy but not at Chiam. Expensive and small servings but food is excellent here. Some entre costs over $20. Dim lights create a romantic atmosphere.

It is a true injustice that this resturant is not recognized as the premier Chinese restaurant in NYC as it beats the food at higher priced and more prestigious Chinese resturants by a mile and that of the establishments in China town by the distance from here to Asia. The ribs are amazing - lean, deliciously caramelized. Every dish from the Grand Marnier shrimp to the Beef with Broccoli to the specialty offerings is perfection. To boot, Nancy the elegant owner and hostess will greet you as if you are family

This is my favorite Chinese place on the upper east side. Nancy Lee's renovation has improved the decor from kitsch pink pigs to a more sleek, urban feel. For starters, try the meat dumplings. For the entree, I recommend the spicy orange chicken or the Grand Marnier shrimp. Enjoy!
