The service was outstanding. They welcomed us in and didn’t rush us at all. They were attentive and warm. The quality of the service really stood out to us.Then the food, it was amazing. The pecking duck was just phenomenal and they were generous with the servings of pancakes and dressings for it. These little sesame mochi for dessert were so good and unlike anything I’ve had before. The cold vegetable plates were great as well, so flavorful.Overall we were so impressed with this place and highly recommend this place for dinner. We will be back.

I had a good dining experience here. The service was nice—staff were attentive, friendly, and made us feel truly welcomed. The food was outstanding, especially the Peking duck, which was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of flavor. Every dish was beautifully presented and tasted authentic. The atmosphere was also excellent—elegant yet cozy, with soft lighting and a relaxed vibe that made it perfect for both casual meals and special occasions. Overall, it was a fantastic combination of great service, delicious food, and a warm, inviting ambiance. I’ll definitely be coming back!

This was hands down the best Mapo Tofu I’ve ever had — perfectly balanced with just the right amount of heat and depth of flavor. The Dongpo Pork was absolutely incredible as well — melt-in-your-mouth tender, yet with a pleasantly springy texture, and the richness was beautifully offset by a light, clean finish.The Dandan noodles were another highlight. It tasted like they make the noodles in-house — fresh, with a wonderful bite — and the sauce was flavorful without being overly salty or overwhelming. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared.The service was just as impressive as the food. Penny was incredibly attentive, friendly, and professional. She never let our water glasses go empty, and she explained each dish and made thoughtful recommendations that really enhanced the dining experience.Every detail was spot on — from the flavors to the service — and I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

You will find the most authentic Chinese food from the Zhejiang region here at Yongchuan. We ordered three types of fish we hadn’t had in 10 years since living in the States - they get fresh air deliveries twice a week and you can really tell by the texture of the fish. They also offer a fun and extensive selection of original cocktails. Loved it!!

**A Refined Taste of Ningbo Cuisine in New York City**Dining at this hidden gem offers a rare and authentic taste of Ningbo-style Chinese cuisine—a true delight in a city where such regional specialties are hard to come by. Given the cuisine’s reliance on impeccably fresh seafood, the quality here exceeded my expectations .**Standout Dishes:**- Home-Cooked Wild Yellow Croaker- Braised Sea Anemone with Noodles- Stir-Fried Shredded Eel- Yan Du Xian Soup- Braised Water Bamboo Shoots with Edamame and Pickled GreensWhile some dishes lean toward the saltier side, this appears to be a faithful representation of Ningbo’s bold, briny flavors.Our server Sam’s warm hospitality stood out. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely eager to enhance our dining experience. His recommendations were spot-on, and his professionalism elevated our meal.All in all, the experience was thoroughly enjoyable, and the commitment to authenticity is evident. I’ll certainly return to explore their rotating weekly specials—this is a restaurant worth revisiting.
