Mountain House Times Square

We had our first meal here during the New York snowstorm this week, and it was such a heartwarming experience. The weather was freezing cold, but the complimentary hot tea was absolutely delicious and warmed us right up. Every single dish we ordered was amazing. Before we left, Steven kindly gave us an umbrella, which truly touched us. During Chinese New Year, we really felt the warmth and hospitality, it was so moving. We came back again today for dinner. The restaurant was very busy when we arrived, but the front desk staff did their absolute best to arrange a table for us. After we were seated, Steven happened to be the one helping us again. This time, we ordered entirely based on his recommendations and every dish was outstanding. This is honestly the best Chinese food and the best s

Food and drink here feels refreshing and tasty. Service was great, very attentiv. We got the pork belly with cucumber and some oil sauce, egg drop soup, and lobster mapo tofu. My favorite was the egg drop soup as it tasted great and their use of veggies to keep things refreshing is great. Lobster was sweet and great, but the tofu was a bit at the bland side. Would come again! Their lychee mints are yummy

The szechuan double cooked pork is juicy, tender with slight crispy edges. The dish is good; but despite the name, signature

Well deserved 5 stars! 好吃服务又好！ Servers are super friendly. They got birthday songs. Servers went about and beyond getting manager to approve free desserts for birthday. I don’t remember their names, or I will mention them here. A young gentleman and elder gentleman, and a nice lady.

This restaurant has been on my radar, and walked by after a show. Soon as you walk in great atmosphere, relaxing music. Most important, tasty flavorful food and warm and friendly service. The menu is heavy on spice and very extensive. You had me on steamed whole fish! I will definitely return and have something more exotic next time!
