Date of dining experience: January 13, 2018
Place: Ocean Dragon Chinese Restaurant
Location: 877 10th Ave. #2 in New York City, NY
Appetizer: Shu Mai ($5.50) - I can never pass up any sign of dim sum on a Chinese menu. These dumplings were not bad, but a little undercooked.
Entree: General Tso's Chicken ($12.95) - Crispy golden tender chicken morsels served in a mildly seasoned spicy sauce. I was looking forward to this dish because it was listed as a chef's specialty and has the word spicy in the description, but it was not very good. The chicken was overdone to the point where you could taste fryer oil through the sauce.
Drink: Hot tea - This was the one good thing about my meal. You can never go wrong with some nice hot tea.
Overall, I chose this place because it was the closest to the hotel. I read the reviews beforehand, but wanted to check it out for myself. I often do not believe the reviews as they are generally wrong. Most negative reviews are written by angry, dumb people. However, the reviews of this place were all absolutely correct. The older lady hostess/waitress was a little mean and the food was not very good. I will not be returning to this restaurant. If you want to try it out for yourself, let me know what you think. Enjoy?
