Good, reliable, American-style Chinese food. The atmosphere is very modern and clean, and the service was great. Appetizer portion sizes were average, but entree portion sizes were quite large (you'll definitely have left overs!). The lo mein, Hunan chicken, and scallion pancakes were delicious. The soup dumplings and calamari were underwhelming.

Loved this place! Uncle Ted ("Call me Uncle or call me Ted") and his staff made me feel like family. Food was great, atmosphere was surprisingly modern for a Chinese restaurant. This will be a yearly stop when I make my annual visit to New York.

Okay, to be honest, I was actually on my way to a viet restaurant, but I saw this restaurant and I decided to go in because I have a picky taste in chinese food. It's because of the background I grew up in. It seems like a nice place so I decided to try it and I literally fell in love with it. It has the best customer service and the food is really hot when it comes out. I told all my friends about it and they equally love the food there. It has the taste of authentic chinese food that is rare to find around where I live other than chinatown and flushing of course. Everyone has different taste so I can't judge for others, but it's a pretty good restaurant to take others to if you want a quiet dinning area. :P Enjoy if you do go.

I love the scallion pancakes. Their homestyle tofu dish was good but not amazing. I enjoyed the sleek decor.

I stumbled upon this place a little over a year ago, and I order or go there for lunch on average of once a week. I work in the area, so that's very convenient for me. My favorites are the General Tso's chicken and the hot and sour soup. It's some of the best I've ever tasted. Other things that I've eaten here have never disappointed. About to order some lunch now actually!

The Chinese food is fabulous and the service was great. Owner is very nice and caring. Didn't have to wait long at all for a table even when it's always busy with customers here, and great pricing! Def recomemmed this place to anyone looking for a tasty meal!

Attentive service. Only downside was it was quite quiet, but it was a Monday night. Portions very large so no need to go crazy with your order. We had crispy beef a l'orange (excellent), a good sweet and sour chicken and fresh bok choi with garlic. Washed down with tsing tao beer

I have tried multiple dishes and have loved everyone. Good quality food with great sauces. I definitely suggest the Uncle Teds Special Fried Rice, slightly spicy but delicious.
Natalie Bell
Would never guess from the name but some of the best and most reasonably priced Chinese food I've had in the city!
Lou Almonte

A little pricey but and amazing value for the amount of food you get. Highly recommended.

Always an outstanding experience. They bring Dim Sum to the Village! Check out their honey glazed pork, the general Tso's chicken, and any dumpling option. The Uncle Ted's fried rice contains Chinese sausage that literally melts on your tongue. I go here almost once a week. Don't get delivery, sit down by the window or in the dining room and enjoy the people watching.

Loved Uncle Ted's! This was our second visit. Lunch and dinner menu is wonderful and fresh. Also great prices and location. Fabulous food. Will definitely back next time we visit NYC. A gem, and great find with friendly service.

A good option for contemporary Chinese American food on a budget. Amazing lunch specials that include soup, entree and Uncle Ted's famous fried rice

Excellt food and great atmosphere. Seriously amazing chicken curry. Modern interior and great service

The sign outside advertises top 3 soup dumplings in NYC. As a soup dumplings connoisseur (title pending) I can safely say that these are not even on my top 10 NYC list. To be fair all that we ordered were soup dumplings, so we weren't able to try other food.
Leslie Hargett
Hands down my favorite quick Chinese restaurant in Manhattan! I especially love the pork buns and General Tso's chicken. I can't find another Chinese place in the city that compares!

I am visiting from Chicago and stopped by here to eat lunch the prices are good and the food tastes great!
Raymond Lancaster
Great food. Incredibly reasonable prices.

We went looking for grub at 10:30 on a Saturday night... this was the only Chinese place open! It was a full sit down restaurant with bar and also facilitated take away and order ring in. Large selection. Wasn't ready too quick(if you know what I mean) everything was well packed and we'll presented. Just what the doctor ordered

Food and service were excellent. Unfortunately, because we didn't have American accents, they tried to rip us off on the bill by adding a 20% gratuity and asking for a tip on top. We questioned the bill and they resisted, saying it was mandatory. I informed them that I'd been living in the US for almost 18 months and they immediately removed the charge from the bill. So, tourists, enjoy the food and service but check your bill carefully.........

Get the make-your-own dish at the back of the menu. Healthier than any Chinese dish I've ever tried and tastes great!

Perfect for lunch, 8$+tax ! It sized like two meals for me (miso soup with chow-men ramen and fried rice with vegetables). Good food !
Jason Braun
$10 lunch special for entree, rice and soup. Tasted OK. Nothing to get excited over

Uncle Ted's is a great chinese spot where i frequented in university due to the great service and discounts they gave. the food was always fresh and even if something was frozen they added their flair to it and made sure it was appetizing.
Patricia Ductan
Portions are good, price is reasonable, setting is nice, but staff is slightly pushy.
Fotographic Cinema
Decent food, decent prices. Suzie's before this was nice. Servers need to be trained. Saying "ok" to your guest as they leave is Not (Thank you for coming).

Decent lunch special, friendly staff, and clean atmosphere dispite the B health inspection rating.

The vegetarian General Tso’s is one of the tastiest dishes I’ve eaten anywhere.

Walked in at 12 pm on a Friday . Was promptly seated . Chose the lunch specials .. service was quick and efficient . Food was tasty with decent sized portions . Finished off with Mochi icrecream which was definitely different from what we expected but not too bad nor great either. Would definitely recommend especially for the cleanliness, service and the food .

Discovered this restaurant while searching for a Chinese place to eat at. Saw the name and immediately knew it would have good food. I mean, when I hear uncle Ted I naturally think of Chinese cuisine. Food was good, large plates for a decent price. Enjoyed listening to the authentic Chinese music during my meal such as “Fergalicious” and “Dangerous” from the decade that’s considered as being the renaissance of Chinese music, the early to mid 2000s. All in all decent place.

The absolute best Chinese food in NYC, brought to you by the world famous Uncle Ted. Brilliant, genious, and delicious.
Steve Weiner
Good neighborhood Chinese restaurant. Good portions, decent prices.
Regular Guy
A warm and genuine reception is always present. The security officer's presence is not overwhelming but he is extremely aware of his surroundings and you know you are in secure, capable hands.
Michelle R.
Delicious. Miso soup and General Tso Chicken was so tasty and fresh. Highly recommend.
Jonathan Ritter
I absolutely love this place! The food is delicious, the vibe is awesome and the owner Ted is the friendliest guy in the neighborhood. Grab a seat at the bar, or snag a table and hang for a bit. One of the few NYC restaurants that always feels like family when I go. 5 STARS!
Paul Bosco
Food was awesome. Nice people too. Great experience
A Cheng
Good value for money. We really liked it! The singapore noodles were amazing as was the crispy puffy scallion pancakes. Dim sum was okay. Shui Mai was tasty but the crystal shrimp dumplings were a bit too doughy for my liking. Restaurant was busy, the decor was modern, and overall pretty clean.
Davide Lazzari
Decoration and service is good, food was OK, would come back if I feel for Chinese in that exact moment.
Ori Aldubi
Really good food! And great service. Highly recommend

Good quality Chinese dumplings in the heart of Soho. A little expensive but reasonable I suppose for the area. Good service and plenty of space for larger groups.
Nina Vicha
We loved this place!! I went to Uncle Teds for dinner and sat at the bar with a friend. We got a few of the dim sum plates to start — braised duck dumplings, pork buns, and crab rangoon — all three were delicious. The pork buns were actual pork buns my mom used to buy from the Chinese markets when I was a kid, yum. For entrees we got the Hunan beef and Lo Mein and were not disappointed. The staff was also so friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. I’m so happy I’ve found my neighborhood Chinese place!
Michael Weber
Place is awesome. Great owner, great atmosphere and above all great food!

Amazing food and quick service. Definitely try their Chili Rock Shrimp its sooooo gooooood.
Alicia Ray
I'm torn between 3 and 4 stars, but the food was good so I went with 4 stars. Came in for a nice Sunday lunch as this place has been on my list for a while. The decor is really nice. I was seated immediately, in the back. No sooner than I sat I was being asked if I was ready to order. I hadn't even opened the menu yet. I was a little put off as I couldn't tell if they were extremely attentive or ready to rush along my service. I debated on asking for a drink menu & I ordered beef & broccoli. The food was great. I actually wished I had ordered more food. Shortly after receiving my food I was asked if it should be packed up. At that I decided not to order anything else & leave, I just didnt feel welcomed at all. I decided to use the restroom & leave. They looked great, but the soap was watered down. For the prices here, I would at least expect decent soap. I may check it out once more, as it may have just been an off day, but if a similar experience occurs I'll be back to revise my review. Good food, disappointing service.

Good food with no crazy prices. Sophisticated ambience
Kristel Fung
Some of the best dumplings I've had in NYC so far. Makes me miss home. Their fried rice is delicious too!
Dhivya Ravindran
Best place to grab Chinese if you're in the Macdougal street area. The service was quick and super cheap.
Shelly Sayers

Jonathan Paek
You will not be disappointed. Food is excellent, the dine-in experience is excellent, and talking with Uncle Ted will make you feel welcomed in a way only an uncle can. spicy pork dumplings, the ribs, the mixed drinks. go, eat, drink, and be merry.

HUGE Portions, I mean HUGE. Do not be fooled by the heading 'Appetizers'
