If you're looking for a place to take your client- this is it. Fantastic food & courteous, cheerful, welcoming waitstaff! Reminds me of the top banquet halls of Chinese cities.
Pete MercadDecember 26, 2016Had that old school Chinese restaurant look and feel from the 70s and 80s and they cook the food the way i remember those restaurants used too with all the vegetables great service
Katie KellyMarch 29, 2012This was the most filling and enjoyable dinner I've had in some time. Personable waiter, and all in all exactly what I needed. I had the Buddhist delight, which it did. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
The Corcoran GroupFebruary 17, 2012Serving delicious food for lunch and dinner for over 30 years. Rent out the upstairs for a private event serving up old-school classic realness.
Louanne LiOctober 9, 2017Nice food. Steamed fish is worth trying. It’s near the charging bull. Price is about similar to those Chinese restaurants in China town.
Zayed KhanFebruary 21, 2018The roast duck (w bone), was very tender, with a nice crispy skin. But some bites seemed to be equal parts duck and salt.
Exceptional service. Great food. The Peking Duck was great, and I always start with an egg drop soup.
Lisa WallaceFebruary 16, 2014Delish. Had steamed Chilean sea bass w/ ginger and scallions. Soooo good!

- Adrienne WoodlandOctober 14, 2018China Chalet is actually a semi-legal banquet hall turned rave. I’m not if they still serve food during the day, but never pass up a party here.
Downtown AllianceAugust 29, 2010A mainstay of the Wall Street community for 30 years. You can get our free Downtown dining guide at
Meg FarmerFebruary 8, 2015A lot of bang for your buck here, but still just typical, average Chinese food.
Overpriced regular Chinese food that you can get in the hood. Nothing special but for the area I guess it's good.
- austin dsouzaJuly 29, 2017If you are vegan or vegetarian, go elsewhere. All those options suck here.
Get the grand marnier shrimp. Just as tasty as chin chins uptown.
Cindy KJanuary 31, 2014Not authentic Chinese food. Edible like chinese takeout. Go to Chinatown for half the price and authentic food.
shaunaOctober 11, 2013Ugh. Don't even bother. Way too Overpriced for ok good. Service was fast. The tip is to keep looking for another place to have Chinese.
