"After an exhilarating Broadway show, we made our way to China River, our go-to Chinese restaurant conveniently located across the street from the venues and just a short walk from the InterContinental Hotel where we stay. Despite being close to closing time, the warm staff welcomed us for dine-in or takeout—now that’s what I call exceptional customer service! We decided to get takeout and as always it was fresh, hot, and delectable. China River is a beloved staple for us every time we visit—bring your family along, and enjoy the exquisite service and food."

"I stayed a while, around 8pm to 9pm, with a meal and a pot of tea while I read a book. They didn't charge me for the tea! I asked for a refill of hot water when it got cold. Very nice experience. Also, they have clean bathrooms in the back."

"It was FINE. Not great, not terrible. Fine. I get the price was more expensive being in Times Square. The food was cooked fine and they added rice on for an extra two bucks for dishes that should have rice. So it was annoying. The music was terrible. And loud. Happy to get Chinese food. Could be better for the price and local. Womp womp."

"Stopped into China River on a whim before my play. Ordered the mini pork soup dumplings and vegetarian spring rolls. The spring rolls were overly doughy (though nicely crisp) with a slightly acidic sweet and sour sauce, but the dumplings were outstanding — worth coming back for alone. Service was quick, the food hit the spot, and the deceptively large venue includes bar seating and an extensive menu."

"I had the pleasure of enjoying a delightful lunch date with my niece Sammoya at China River, and it was an experience to remember! From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted with warm smiles and a vibrant atmosphere that set the perfect tone for our outing. The menu offered an impressive array of authentic Chinese dishes, and we struggled to choose because everything sounded so delicious! We finally settled on the Singapore Noodles and the Shrimp Fried Rice, both of which were bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The portion sizes were generous, leaving us completely satisfied but eager for more! Sammoya particularly loved the mango juice, fruity and fresh, paired with the right amount of sugar along with other tangy citrus flavors, making it a super treat for the mouth—she couldn’t stop raving about them! The attentive staff made sure we felt welcomed and catered to our every need, adding to the overall enjoyment of our meal. What truly stood out to us was the cozy ambiance of the restaurant, making it an ideal spot for quality time with loved ones. We left feeling happy, full, and excited to come back and explore more of the menu. Thank you, China River, for providing such a wonderful dining experience! We can't wait to return. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great food and a welcoming vibe! Many thanks again my niece for insisting that we should have Chinese Cuisine while visiting New York."
