“We had B+ soup dumplings, a lovely cold stuffed tofu skin thing, nice string beans, the Szechuan soup which was excellent, nice textured scallion noodles, and their chicken which was very moist and gently flavored but delicious”

“I went last year and it was terrible. Like worse than mall food. We got four entrées between the two of us and nothing was good, it was really quite surprising because I don’t know how they’re still in business at that location. Would certainly not recommend for a corporate event.”

replying to u/DMCer: Pass. I kept walking past it this summer and it looked like a good spot. I learned they’re a chain with over 200 locations in China. I eventually tried it and unfortunately almost every dish was mediocre. It reminded me of a Chinese Applebee’s. The service was friendly enough. No real reason to dine there when there are so many better Chinese options in NYC.

replying to u/DMCer: I know Grandma‘s Home is a huge chain in China, but I was curious after walking past many times and liking the decor, so I went last year and it was terrible. Like worse than mall food. We got four entrées between the two of us and nothing was good, it was really quite surprising because I don’t know how they’re still in business at that location. Would certainly not recommend for a corporate event.
“I've hosted several events there are clients have always loved it!”
