Great place in Chinatown, the atmosphere was bright and lively. The Kung Pao chicken was okay, it could have been a little more spicy. The beef chow fun was delicious sweet and savory. The steamed chicken dumplings were a great appetizer. Quick and timely service.
What an incredible experience! Not only was the food fantastic, but the level of service and customer appreciation was outstanding. Despite the busy Friday night crowd, the hostess was attentive, informing everyone about available tables as people left. I noticed the gentleman behind the bar, who I believe was Uncle Lou, greeting numerous familiar faces by name. He even took the time to clean the bar personally. Once seated, we ordered the Crispy Garlic Chicken, beef with Chinese broccoli, and some delicious chicken dumplings. The beef and garlic with rice noodles were especially delightful. As we finished our meal, Uncle Lou, as I'll refer to him, came to our table to express gratitude and inquire about our dining experience. We engaged in a brief conversation about our homes, and he thanked us again. Reviewing the bill, I realized he hadn't charged me for my bar beverage. I brought this to his attention, and he acknowledged it with a tap on his chest, expressing gratitude for my honesty. I can't thank "Uncle Lou" enough for providing such an exceptional and attentive experience. It was indeed a masterclass in excellent service.
Food was good, we had twice cooked pork, chicken and broccoli and the mixed fried rice. Wish the mixed fried rice had more Chinese sausage. Had to ask for some forks multiple times before we could ear. Also never got water for our table while every other table did, not sure if you are suppose to ask for water.
Tasty food at a reasonable price! Came here after waiting half an hour at another restaurant in the area before getting hangry and giving up. So glad the restaurant wasn’t too busy in the afternoon and was immediately seated.
Food came quickly and was piping hot! If you’re used to just ordering sesame or General Tsos chicken, I’d encourage you to try something new here! The highlight for me was the braised pork with mustard greens and bao buns! The pork just fell apart between those soft pillowy buns 🤤. Overall, a solid spot with good vibes (modern but old school Chinatown at the same time) especially if you don’t want to wait too long!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Uncle Lao Chinese Restaurant, and I must say it was a truly enjoyable experience. The restaurant's inviting atmosphere, friendly staff and amazing aromas were a treat.
To start, I ordered the Crispy Garlic Chicken, and it was absolutely divine. The chicken was cooked to perfection, with a crispy exterior and tender, juicy meat on the inside. The garlic flavor added a delightful kick that elevated the dish to new heights. The portion size was generous, making it a great dish for sharing or indulging in all by yourself.
Next, I opted for the Wanton Noodle Soup, and it did not disappoint. The broth was rich and flavorful, showcasing a harmonious blend of spices and seasonings. The wantons were plump and filled with a delectable mixture of meat and herbs. The noodles had the ideal texture, neither too soft nor too firm, creating a satisfying slurping experience.

Have The best day ever.
Amazing food! Our first time for me and my family and the Garlic Fried Chicken, Pork Dumplings, and vegetables we ordered were fantastic! I would recommend this place.
Great place for food. The only bad thing is they are short staff and a high demand of people here. This place is a very popular place in the area. The food is good they are best known for the chicken. In my opinion this place is pretty good and I would come here if you could. The staff here are really nice and funny. I think they deserve lots of business. One last reason is they give some really good desert after your done eating (It is free).
