Lychee House

About this business

Lychee House is the place to go when you've got a craving for authentic Chinese food. Located in Midtown, this spacious restaurant has an even bigger menu, consisting of dishes made from shrimp, chicken, duck, beef, pork, and vegetables. Start off your meal with some small dishes of dim sum (the har gow, a translucent rice-sheet dumpling with a shrimp filling is a definite favorite), and then progress to the jumbo coconut shrimps with broccoli with a side of ham and egg fried rice.

Good chinese place. – I went here on a recommendation by a close friend. To cut to the chase, this restaurant is top notch. If you like shrimp you will die for the Grand Marnier Shrimp. Have it as an appetizer and the move on to the sweet and sour pork. If you like something a little on the spicy side try the Mongolian beef. It is top notch. This is a must visit Chinese restaurant. I am going back again with some business associates for lunch this week. This is just 3 days after my dinner there. Oh yes, it is that good!

Fabulous and Delicious – fantastic dishes in a very inviting atmosphere - service is always top notch - I came in by accident as I was walking down the street and for some reason I was intrigued to check it out - I will be back for sure.

Dim Sum Meals at Lychee house – I have now had three Dim Sum meals at Lychee house and can say with a straight face, to the most critical Sinophile, that piece for piece, it is as good as Chinatown Brasserie and, unless you¹re looking for offal, curious seafood or the lower extremities of fowl, even better than most places in Chinatown, including the Golden Unicorn. There are more than a dozen dishes ranging from familiar Seared Pork Dumplings, Shanghainese Soup Dumplings and Cha Shu Bao (Cantonese Roast Pork Buns), to the m... read more

Modern Chinese – This place is so gooood. I work in the area and I have been getting my food from Lychee house with my work buddies. I frequently get the soup dumplings - which are really good, best i have ever had. They are very friendly and have great service. Check this place out, you wont be disapointed.

Worst service and terrible food – This restaurant is one of the terrible service places in New York. Tonight (11/8/08) we had services from manager and other staff. The food was worst. We had stomach problem after we got to home. Never go to the place to eat. Chinese food cannot be trusted.

Obnoxious Manager had the audacity to tell us our tip was unacceptable. – I have never written a bad review but this time I have no choice. To begin with, the staff was impatient because we only had appetizers. (As if we owed it to them to order more.) The last straw was that the Owner/manager actually came to our table after we paid the bill to tell us that our tip was not enough (and he was very surly about it, telling us that 'This is New York.'). News flash, genius: 1. Tips are discretionary. And we had already given 15%... read more

Delicious Food, Wonderful Table Service – I recently came for lunch to Our Place and was delighted with a friendly smile when I walked in the restaurant. I was seated almost immediately and greeted by my server with water and a smile. I ordered from the lunch menu and was greatly surprised at how big the portions were. Overall I was really happy with the quality, quantity, and the service that was given to me!
