I’ll admit it - sometimes I can be wrong. While last year I may have had a terrible experience at Chinatown East as far as takeout goes, this establishment has slowly started to become one of our favorites in the city. Why? All you can drink sake (no, that doesn’t rhyme with cake).
We’ve spent a [...]

I am probably the stingiest person I’ve ever met. I’m also probably the hungriest. I could eat 24 hours a day and I rarely turn down an offer to grab dinner. In order to avoid shelling out $20 for these dinners, I’m constantly on the [...]

I like to think it was a sign from God. As my roommate Alex and I opened the door to our new apartment in Murray Hill, a flurry of take-out menus attacked us. One, however, stood out - a Chinese take-out menu that offered combination dinners for under $7.
Now, I love a good combination dinner. [...]

New York is as famous for good “Chinese” food as it is for good pizza in my book, and I grew up on it. I am used to the standard General Tso (how do you say this one anyway? Chow T-so Tow, Tao? An American mystery if you ask me) [...]

Once again inspired by Laura, I was in the mood for Thai food. I thought of going uptown to try Osha after reading her review (the BYOB was particularly appealing), but much to my delight I stumbled across a new Thai place of my own to try. While walking around the neighborhood [...]

After a good weekend with a great crew up in Saratoga for a Dave Matthews Band concert, my roommates and I decided that a relaxing evening of takeout and tv was in order. We recently received a menu for the grand opening of Guang Ming, a Chinese takeout restaurant on 1st between 91st and 92nd.
Immediately [...]

My roommates love Chinese food, and while I prefer Thai, I decided to accompany them for Chinese for my roommate Justin’s birthday at Chef Ho’s.
Chef Ho’s isn’t your typical grungy Chinese takeout place. Instead it’s a nice looking upscale restaurant with the whole white table clothes and China. I was a little afraid to open [...]

I knew I was seeing my friend Parker last night for drinks, but unfortunately I didn’t do my due diligence and scout out a place beforehand. After wandering around Murray Hill for a bit, I remembered the new Chinese restaurant that I had passed a few times on the way to [...]

Last night in the snow, we decided to order in from Chinatown East, a Chinese/Japanese/Thai restaurant on third avenue between 92nd and 93rd. Honestly, the fact that it served cuisine from all over Asia probably should have been the first red flag. A friend and I decided to split Chicken Pad Thai, and we ordered [...]

My Dad, a Long Island native, is a foodie and loves to peruse restaurant reviews and recipes, so he pays attention when the New York Times bothers traveling to Long Island to review new restaurants. A lover of Asian and spicy foods, this review [...]
