Pre holiday family dinner
Great place for a family gathering. We ordered the duck and noodles and vegetables. The service was good and food also.
Be the first to ReplyTerrible service and poor quality food
Terrible service and poor quality food. The only positive is that portion sizes are large. Other than that I was extremely disappointed. Vegetable dishes were poorly seasoned. Service was not helpful when trying to edit dishes (adding ingredients on the menu, and taking away ingredient to accommodate for dietary requirements)
Be the first to ReplyNot as good as before
We have enjoyed Hwa Yuan in the past, but this evening was a much less enjoyable experience. It was Christmas, but if you accept reservations, you should honor them. We arrived at the restaurant to find a long line out the door of other people who also had reservations. It turned out it didn't matter if you did or not since when you got the the head of the line, which took 30 minutes, no one asked if you had a reservation. Once we finally got seated, it was better, but it wasn't up to their usual standards. Most of the food was pretty good, although $20 for four small spare ribs is a bit much. We didn't think the Peking duck was as good as usual and the carving of the duck was atrocious. Most pieces were way too large and it was generally sloppy. Our waiter was also a bit surly. I don't know what service and food would be like when not so busy, but I probably will not be back to find out.
Be the first to ReplyExcellent restaurant, with an exceptional Beijing Duck
One of the best Beijing Ducks I have eaten in my life, fresh, not excessively fatty, delicious taste! The restaurant is bright, the tables well spaced, the noise level reasonable, the welcome good. The dishes offered by this restaurant are all delicious, made with high quality products (duck, shrimp, chicken, etc.). There were 7 of us and everything we ate was perfect.
Be the first to ReplyGreat traditional Szechuan food served by attentive staff
Great traditional Szechuan food served by attentive staff. We were a large group and did not encounter any of the negatives cited in prior reviews. Authentic Peking Duck and lots of vegetarian and seafood options. Also, remarkably attentive to gluten free diet, willing to adapt most dishes with gluten free spy sauce, etc.
Be the first to ReplyLovely restaurant with excellent food but service had a few glitches…
We went for a family birthday celebration. The food was excellent but we were disturbed by the fact that when we had finished all of the pancakes which accompanied the Peking Duck, the empty steamer was whisked away; we assumed that more pancakes would be on their way as we had only finished about half of the Peking Duck. None came, so after about ten minutes we inquired if we could please have some more. We were asked how many we would like. We said “four” and after about ten more minutes the additional pancakes were served. In the meantime, the very delicious Peking Duck had gotten cold but there did not seem to be anything we could do about that… When the check came, we were a bit surprised to find that we were charged $1.50 per pancake. Give that the Peking Duck itself had cost $80, this seemed inappropriate but we were more troubled by the hiatus in our meal than the $6 charge. Furthermore, when we made the reservation on Resy, we were asked if we were celebrating a special occasion. I had indicated that we were celebrating a birthday. Other restaurants we have gone to generally acknowledge a special occasion with a small lagniappe—a scoop of sorbet with a cookie and a candle or something like that…in this case, no acknowledgement was made of my son’s birthday. Lastly, we felt that although the service of the older servers was very professional, the younger servers just stood there, doing basically nothing, and had no idea that we we had been trying to make eye contact with them for quite a while before the issue of the pancakes had been addressed. Clearly they had not been given proper training in this regard. In conclusion, while we would probably return, we would not order the Peking Duck again. Rather, we would try to order the dishes which the other guests ordered and discussed at length with the servers who seemed much more interested in pleasing Chinese-speaking patrons rather than ourselves.
Be the first to ReplyA very happy Chinese Birthday!
Last Friday we held my wife’s birthday party at Hwa Yuan Szechuan in China Town. I was simply amazed ! To start we ordered the Beijing (Peking) duck for the table. This is a sight to see and a real delight to eat. After the presentation to our group the waiter took the plate and carved it for us table side. What a pleasure to enjoy with a group. We ordered a large number of assorted dishes and shared everything around the table. My wife and I came from our hotel in a cab and that saved a lot of time. Family came by car and found parking nearby. Friends came by train and that also worked well. Our friend brought a beautiful cake from a French bakery that was enjoyed by all. As we prepared to leave the owner brought out a bottle of cold sake and everyone enjoyed multiple shots. What a terrific surprise! I will always remember the whole restaurant singing to my wife. A birthday to remember. Pricing was extremely fair and the service was extra special. I highly recommend Hwa Yuan Szechuan. We will certainly be returning when we visit Manhattan. A real find. Many thanks to the entire staff and the generous owner.
Be the first to ReplyDo not go here
The worst customer experience ever. Food was served so rapidly with very aggressive waiter expecting us to finish fast enough so we could have our main almost immediately. He was pushing us to order more and more and was so unhappy with minimum tip, came back to us and started yelling. He practically overwrote the tip on the bill. We were with two kids and pretty scared that he would turn violent so we just left. When we received the transcript from Amex, the tip was larger then the bill itself. The guy practically ripped us off.
Be the first to ReplySome good dishes, but expensive, depending on your budget
We were 6 people for dinner around 6 and we were seated upstairs in the square room to the right as you exit the stairs. There were 2 other groups, one quite large- 8 people, maybe. It was very loud and we could hear each other only when we spoke very loudly, bordering on yelling. The duck was very good, excellent. The accompanying wraps weren't hot. Not sure how it is priced elsewhere, but it is an expensive entree here, at $45 for half, $80 for whole. We ordered Kung Pao Chicken at $30- very small serving. The rest of the dishes were in the $30 category too, all quite small. The sesame noodles were delicious as was the Scallion pancake. Much less impressed with the vegetable fried rice.
Be the first to ReplyOne of the best Chinese restaurants in New York
We had gone to this restaurant in the early 80's, when it was very nice but not fancy. It is now REALLY fancy. The food is fabulous, but it is much more expensive than when I was younger. Phenomenal food, very friendly service.
Be the first to ReplyTerrible service , good but not great food
Unfriendly hostess , waiters Waited half an hour for water Waited half an hour for plain jasmine rice after the mains arrived- no apologies offered No one came to ask how the meal was We were very happy to leave and can safely say this was the worst dining experience ever
Be the first to ReplyI’ve never experienced anything like this before 🤯
Hwa Yuan exceeded what we could even expect. As soon as we walked in the door with were welcomed by the most friendly staff and the chef as we walked to our table. Everyone was so delightful and open to provide their(and the chefs) recommendations. We got the house wontons, pork soup dumplings (oh my god these were delicious), shrimp dumplings, vegetable friend rice, fish special (I forget what kind of fish it was) and of course the Beijing duck! Every. Single. Bite. Was insane. The Beijing duck with the crepes was so amazing, they cut it up at your table for the full experience - and the fish in the bean sauce really blew our minds. I absolutely will be back for this again next time I’m in NYC. If I can give any advice - get what the staff recommends ;) you won’t be disappointed :)

My first time here and I have to say it’s probably the best Chinese food I’ve ever had. Service was tops!!!!
Be the first to ReplyAmazing Experience
We enjoyed our meal at Hwa Yuan. We shared the cold sesame noodles and the crispy beef; along with the pork belly entree. All were very good. My main comment is that we wished that the pork belly came with more vegetables, it came with only 4 small pieces of bok choy. For the large portion of pork belly, it simply was not enough. The ambiance of the restaurant is amazing! A very beautiful space. The wait staff was very attentive, and for us they did not hover over us. We arrived at just the right time; we were able to secure a table without reservations, food served promptly, and then we were on our way. We would recommend this restaurant to others; yet as we continue to try other restaurants in the area, not sure we would return. There's a lot of great restaurants in New York!

Three of us went here because the cold sesame noodles were said to be the best in New York. They were the worst cold sesame noodles I've ever had. The pasta was incredibly soft and the sauce basically tasted of soy, so boring. There was no hint of sesame oil, garlic, peanuts, or any green garnish. The shrimp dim sum had tough rubbery dumpling dough. Chicken with Chinese broccoli was a meager portion with the chicken pieces floating in oil. There was no other taste, simply chicken, broccoli and oil. The Szichuan eggplant also lacked flavor, not even a hint of spice. The waiters are hovering and trying to sell you Beijing duck or additions to your order. We didn't finish our food and were asked if we'd like to take the leftovers. We told the waiter that we didn't like the food because everything was very bland. He laughed and said he would remove the eggplant from the check. I think we got a different menu from the Asian diners. There is a star on the menu with the words Michelin guide. Being in the Michelin guide does not mean you have a Michelin star. In addition to the blah food, the prices are high for Chinatown. This place is a hoax. I felt ripped off when I left. It's the worst Chinese restaurant I've ever been to in NY.

Good, mostly familiar Szechuan dishes. Sesame noodles and seafood are the best things on the menu. Service was excellent. You pay for the decor.
Be the first to ReplyLarge business group
Quasi NORMAL Staff still in masks. Hopefully by choice and not being forced. Did a business dinner with 4 very full tables upstairs. They accommodated us nicely. We did so many courses. Everything was amazing. They even sliced duck table side. Great Chinatown experience.
Be the first to ReplyThey are unreliable They ruined our New Years by cancelling our order
We place an order days in advance for The New Year and they cancelled it without apology or answering their phone or email. They ruined our celebration. Buyer beware
Be the first to ReplyExcellent authentic Szechuan cuisine
We've ordered takeout from them several times. The food is always excellent. It is our go-to spot for Chinese takeout.
Be the first to ReplyDelightful Food
Great food and people. We loved every meal we ordered but the duck and the crispy beef are must try when at the Resturant. We enjoyed the wonderful team work. Clean and pleasant atmosphere. Many smily faces as you walk in to the Resturant.
Be the first to ReplyWe ordered too many dishes
We ended up with too many dishes, at the encouragement of the waiter. We ordered the Beijing Duck, Crispy Beef and Hot & Sour Soup for two people, and he advised that we didn't have enough dishes, and encouraged us to order 2 more. It ended up being way too much food for just two people, which was wasted since we couldn't take it with us. Crispy beef was excellent. Tangs Amazing chicken was so-so. Beijing Duck was good.
Be the first to ReplyOur Best Meal on our Recent Visit to NYC
My family enjoyed a big dinner at Hwa Yuan. The wonton w/chili sauce was a unanimous favorite. My favorite was the Kung Po chicken, which is rightfully noted to be one of there premiere dishes. The crispy tangy beef was excellent. The hot and sour soup, cold noodles, sizzling beef w/scallops were all above average items. The scallion pancakes, chicken lo mein, bok choi, and soup dumplings were very competent. I would definitely recommend a visit.
Be the first to Replyover priced, decent duck and appetizer but falls short
This restaurant caters to mostly non-Chinese so that sort of gives you an idea about the food...
The Duck, 7/10. The skin was a bit under cooked and unfortunately the very important pancakes were dry and floury. The condiments of cucumbers, scallions was pretty lame. The price... way on the high side.
The appetizers were very good. The dishes were refreshing and well made.
The entrees... 5/10 at best. All dishes were fairly bland. The ma-po tofu was so-so. The pork belly was just poorly made, flat out but the shrimp was ok but for the price, it better be.
The service was very good but if you want real Peking Duck in Chinatown, NYC, we are still looking... The Peking Duck House on Mott was also a bit disappointing the last time we went. I think these Duck restaurants started to cater to mostly tourists so prices go up and when the locals don't go, then the quality goes down. Not sure, can't figure it out...
Quality Take Out
Enjoyed the Sesame Chicken and the Sweet & Sour sauces. Enjoyed the ease of ordering and the speed of service.

Found this place by accident as we were in the area and I found a parking space in front of the restaurant. With COVID I do not eat inside but it was 2 pm and no one was there. I thought the food was excellent. The chicken in garlic sauce was phenomenal. I do t eat dark meat chicken so they used only white. Very accommodating. Want to take my daughter who lives in the area when this nightmare is over.
