This neighborhood favorite raises the bar on cheap Chinese takeout. – In Short China Fun specializes in huge, meal-sized bowls of soup, like Cantonese wonton and roasted duck noodle. The menu also includes roast pork, duck and chicken, barbecued honey spare ribs, sushi, a variety of dumplings and dim sum treats like scallion pancakes and roast pork buns. Big portions for small prices attract locals to the casual space for lunch and dinner, and the counter does brisk business in takeout.

A bit of China Town Uptown – China Fun located in the residential 60s neighborhood is a change of pace from the other restaurants in the surrounding area. It almost feels as if you have entered another one of the hundreds of restaurants down in China Town. The food is pretty good but nothing exceptional. They offer both standard Chinese food as well as Sushi. Check the back pages of the menu for more healthy options. This place is always busy in the evenings. Due to their turnover, there is a lot of staff hustling around the... read more

Need more staff – the service was horrible at this place! our water glasses never got filled; ask for extra duck sauce and never came; removing our plates before we were done. table next to ours: "i asked for green tea and you gave me black tea" "WE ONLY HAVE 1 KIND OF TEA! WE DON'T HAVE GREEN TEA!!!" I can't blame the waitstaff because they were too few of them doing too much. hence, the bad attitudes and slow service. Food was just OK, my dish was a bit salty and my scallion pancakes were overcooked.

Trucks! – My lunch on a Friday lunchtime was marred by continual truck traffic on 2nd avenue - - both noise and exaust. Food was so-so at best.

Big Fun – Listen, Its not the top of the line China, but for pound for pound , it really good. Big portions of soup and main dishes help you out while the decor is pretty drab. However when you get your check, you'll be pleasantly surrised you only paid $20/pp and got such a great meal.

Ipecac with rice and noodles. Just rifle through trash cans outside and I guarantee it will have more nourishment and taste. The decor is dreadful, and reminded me of a Chinatown Happy Ending Parlor, if you know what I mean.

Worth A Try – Good food and reasonable prices. China Fun is well worth a visit.

Good value – I doubt that China Fun could thriive in Chinatown. But in midtown Manhattan, it is quite good for a fast lunch. The price is good, service is fast, and the dishes are sometimes too salty but sometimes flavored right. The roasted duck noodle soup is nicely done.
