The Tang - City of New York

This restaurant offers some truly unique and delicious dishes that stand out from those at more traditional Chinese establishments. The creative cuisine comes from a very imaginative chef, and the simple, fresh, and perfectly prepared dishes exceeded my expectations. I decided to try delivery after reading great reviews. Since we tend to focus on vegetarian options, I'll speak to what we ordered, which did not include the intriguingly named pork and beef dishes. We enjoyed the pea sprouts with oyster mushrooms, scallion oil noodles with tiger prawns, and purple rice—each one was delightful. Next time, I plan to order the 3 Cup Chicken, which is organic and made with basil—sounds fantastic!

The food was enjoyable, but it's definitely on the pricey side. The Spicy Cumin Beef had great flavor, but for $29, there wasn't much beef in the dish. The Yuxiang Shredded Pork was delicious as well, but it was mostly bamboo. The Pea Shoots were a bit bland, though the portion was decent for the price. They seemed to be lacking flavor and could really benefit from some salt and garlic. We ordered several servings of the Purple Rice, but unfortunately, all of the containers were only about three-quarters full. Additionally, none of the large plates came with rice.

I recommend avoiding this restaurant. I feel completely ripped off. I ordered the beef shanks, which were priced at $7, and the picture showed 10 pieces. However, I only received 6 very small pieces in a bowl that I initially mistook for condiments. I've never written a review on DoorDash before, but I felt it was necessary to share my experience. I really hope you can improve your service in the future.

We visited The Tang in the Upper West Side, where the decor is modern and creates a cozy atmosphere. It's a great spot for a quick workday lunch, yet also ideal for a date. We loved the Pork Dumplings in Chili Oil; they were flavorful and a generous size. The Salt and Pepper Ribs were decent, but not as tender as we had hoped. For our group of five, we shared Beef Noodle Soup, Cold Noodles, and Spicy Diced Chicken. Both noodle dishes were delicious with ample portions, and the braised eggs were impressively satisfying.
