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.

Best In Midtown – As Our Place is one of my favorite Midtown Chinese restaurants, I wanted to answer the recent review by DumpyBumpy. First, if DumpyBumpy was interested in the Shanghai dishes, he should have order off that section of the menu. He/She's correct that most dishes in the menu are New York-style Chinese dishes but that's because those are the dishes the restaurant's customers seem to crave?and if the crowd at lunch and early dinner is any indication then that crowd pretty well reflects the ethnic make up of New ... read more

Quasi-Chinese Restaurant - wont return – Reading all these amazing reviews and ratings, I thought I found a decent authentic Shanghai food place in NYC outside of Chinatown. Went with a friend for lunch today. Service at this place is amazing. However, when we were reading the menu, we already felt that this is an "American Chinese" instead of an "authentic Shanghai / Chinese" place. We also saw no Chinese customers in the restaurant. We ordered steamed dumplings and Moo Shu Pork. I have never seen Moo Shu, General Tao etc i... read more

What an awesome Chinese restaurant – Made reservations over a month ago for 15 people and then someone from the restaurant called me twice to confirm the reservation, once one week before and on the same day. The people were friendly on the phone and the when we arrived, the waiters were very patient and very nice. They seated us promptly and took their time with us and explained everything that was on the menu. Excellent selection on the menu and they were a decent size portion. We must have ordered about a dozen or so dish... read more

Yum! – I first went there on a business trip and loved their spicy sesame chicken! It is shredded chicken breast (all white meat!) and not at all like the weird chicken you get at some other restaurants (mystery meat). I took my boyfriend there recently and he loved it as well.. their spring rolls are quite tasty and their lo mein is also great!
