Uncle Ted’s Modern Chinese Cuisine

Excellent Food. We walked in on a Thursday to this modern, well kept restaurant. The food is very fresh, very well presented. We had the make your own veggie combo, General Cho chicken as well. Food was excellent and the cocktails were great too. Highly recommended. We will be back.

My friend and I came to eat at Uncle Teds last night after spotting them across the street from Falucka hookah lounge. We were extremely hungry and it was a bit late, as soon as we walked in the owner told us the kitchen closes in 20 minutes (which was enough time for us) we quickly ordered. I had the scallion pancakes for appetizers which was so delicious! For my entrée I has the General tso chicken, the chicken was crispy and extremely tasteful (I order General tso often from other places and this by far was the best!) My friend ordered chicken and broccoli and that too was extremely flavorful. I loved them so much I just booked reservations for 7 for this Sunday to take my family on a nice Father’s Day dinner. Staff was extremely nice as well and also allowed us to charger our phones while we ate. Thanks you Uncle Ted see you Sunday :)

Steaks had me salivating at the mouth. If you dislike food comas, make sure you pop an adderal ‘fore you chow down at this fine joint. Hottest waitresses ever too. Got damn. Still sweating. But seriously, awesome place.

Ordered the chicken lettuce wraps to go. Got home and found four measly pieces of romaine lettuce. The chicken filing was OK. A lot of celery. Was in the mood for PF Chang style. These didn’t do it. If you get this make sure they don’t skimp on the lettuce before you leave.

Great food. Great prices. There was an obnoxious party but management quickly took care of it. Will definitely come back.

I’ve been at this place like 7 – 8 times. In my last two times I got very disappointed. I do NOT recommend this place for any occasions. Please do NOT waist your money and time here. Waiter who works there he is very rude and not educated. I think this place has to be closed from New York State department of licensure and health sanitation departments.
When I was ordering my lunch (3 days ago) I told my waiter I want to have chicken with broccoli with little souse. With little souse please!
After 3 minutes they brought to me my order with a lots of souse. Which greasy souse. I couldn’t take it and I called waiter and asked this not what I ordered, I requested to make this plate but with little souse because last couple of times I had stomachache after the food.
You know what waiter said? «this is little souse, we can’t waist food because you don’t wanna eat souse. Last time you ordered food and you said it was spicy, and this time too much souse? We can’t do anything with that»
I requested to call his manager and he went to manager and spoke to him like 5 – 10 minutes in their own language. After 10 minutes manager came to me and said the same thing what waiter said. If I’m going to order next time I need to ask them make this food souse on the side. And he took my plate and putted the same food to another plate and bring to me back as a «new dish». Everything was almost mixed. You can see it if you move the food to another plate.
My order was horrible still. As last couple of times I had stomachache afterward :(
I think this place is doesn’t deserve to be A grade and having 4 – 5 stars on Unilocal and Google.
Health inspectors need to come and check this place.
Or needs to be closed!

I took my friend there because I had been there a few times before and the food was always good (notice I said the food).
So we ordered from the RUDE waiter… and then we waited… and waited…
I received my meal and my friend got his app… then we didn’t see his meal for about 20 – 25 minutes… the table who was seated 10 minutes after us got their meal before we did… really?
We asked 2 different waiters and they just nodded and seemed annoyed that we were disturbing them… the place wasn’t busy at all. Finally after I was done with 90% of my meal-​I had had enough… and my friend still hadn’t received his food… I walked over to the woman who I thought was the manager. She did apologize she asked us if we wanted drinks… we said no… she asked maybe if we wanted dessert and we said we’ll see…
The food magically came out 2 seconds later after waiting 20 – 25 minutes for one dish.
No apology from the RUDE waiters as he slammed down the plate, they weren’t apologetic… because guess what, they don’t care… After I spoke to the manager when the waiter came and filled my water glass… the waiter would slam my glass down on the table. So I guess he was angry that we complained about him.
And don’t ask for sweet and sour sauce or chili sauce… they look at you like you have just asked for the impossible or that they have to climb Mt. Everest to get it for you.
So we decided we did not want dessert but the «manager» never came back to even offer it to us or see how our meal was… I think they should have at least comped us his meal… most decent places would have done this… but I guess this place is too greedy to offer that.
I would strongly suggest you avoid this place… or just get take out… it may be less painful.

I am disappointed at the service. Our waiter was not friendly, he took our orders as if it was a burden, he forgot to get our hot sauce, and he disgracefully took our check. Really surprised considering I am a frequent guess of Uncle Ted’s.

I absolutely love this Chinese restaurant! I would definitely go out of my way to eat here.
We took advantage of the Unilocal offer for a free appetizer… pork dumplings in a spicy sauce. Wow it is out of this world. The bite sized tender pork dumplings seem sweet at first but then the heat hits ya right in the face!
Our waitress suggested another appetizer to us so we tried it. The crystal shrimp dumplings were also a hit. Normally these types of dumplings have very little shrimp in them. Uncle Ted’s does not skimp on the shrimp! Taking a bite into the steamed dumplings you taste the big chunks of shrimp. We were told this was a popular appetizer and now I see why.
Luckily for us the table next to us had already ordered and received their food. They each ordered a separate dish for the entrée. I do NOT recommend this. They give you sooooooo much food. enough to split it in my opinion. So we did that. On this occasion we ordered chicken and broccoli and asked for it to be made spicy. On another time we ordered sesame chicken. Everything was delicious.
We finished our food but still had our wine to drink. The owner came to our table and told us to take our time and enjoy our drinks.
Definitely come here!

I love this place. The people are so nice and the food is really great. I’ve been here several times, and I always order something new, and with no disappointment. I like spicy food, while most of my friends doesn’t even though we order the same dish, they always manage to make it just the way each of us like.
I really like the interior as well and the atmosphere is great. I’m already looking forward to be going back. Oh, and the price is good too.

Okay NYC Chinese food, but Bleeker ain’t Chinatown. Ever since Charlie Mom restaurant on 6^th Ave closed I use this for delivery only. I don’t think dining in is bad, just not anything interesting. I will say good location, good for vegetarian and healthy options too. Good service. I’d revisit. I don’t want to get on the list. No name names! Excellent service! *Beware the Unilocal coupon deal requires a dine-​in order and the receipt won’t reflect the free offer until you ask a second time. That won’t win me over. The dumplings were good however. Sweet and sour soup neither sweet nor sour.

This was my first visit to the actual restaurant, after ordering take out a bunch of time. This is my go to take out place and the actual restaurant did not disappoint. Lunch specials are reasonably priced and the service is reasonably attentive and quick. Free dumplings for checking in was also nice.
Dinner prices seem a bit much, but so it goes.

Overpriced Chinese take out served in a nice and modern restaurant. A couple of friends and I were looking to get some Schezuan Chinese food in the West Village. Uncle Ted’s had a high rating on Unilocal and was close to where we wanted to be.
Got an order of pork dumplings in chili sauce with my Unilocal check in. They were good, but not very spicy. Also had the wonton soup. Basically the same dumplings, just in broth this time. For my entrée, I got my favorite Schezuan dish, mapo tofu.
My mapo tofu tasted like hot and sour soup. It was not spicy at all, and there were no Schezuan peppers in it. I tried my friend’s dishes, the schezuan beef noodle soup and the Singapore noodles. Both were equally bland. The food was filling and pretty cheap, but I won’t be returning.

This is a review based on my first experience.
I ordered the «chicken with garlic sauce», it was excellent and it came with rice, the price was $ 13 for this. The portion was large which was rather satisfactory. The sauce that was contained in this order was very good actually.
I’m only pulling off one star because the first time we had arrived here, the waiter we had was not the best and lacked patience. My friends were not pleased. Other than that, the food was great here, definitley willing to come here again. :)

You normally don’t expect delicious Chinese food outside the ctowns. Place appears to be the typical westernized Chinese food. But, Amazingly, very delicious beef noodles soup, it is the best in town! Has been hrs and im not super thirsty. I would go back just for the beef noodles.
My frds also love all the different dumplings they have.
Very clean establishment, clean bathrooms, which are rare in Chinese restaurants.
Will need to return in future to try the dinner dishes..

One of the best Chinese food places I’ve ever ate at!!!
I went here with my boyfriend for his birthday dinner. We ordered the sesame chicken, beef with broccoli, and veggie lo mein. Their portions are massive, big enough to share among 2 to 4 people! The service was really slow, it was a normal dinner rush and we were slightly ignored for a while, but the fact that the food was so great, I don’t mind waiting a little longer to order it at all.
After 10 mins we were able to order, and the food came almost right away. They have mini plates so you can share the food and it was very resourceful because that’s exactly what we did.
Really love this place and I can see it as one of my regular spots from now on.
When we were paying he did mention that we didn’t tip on the bill, and I just said we were tipping in cash because that’s how we always prefer to tip. So make sure you tip (as you always should) because they do work very hard!

A solid restaurant when you’re craving some good ol’ fashioned Americanized Chinese food.
I came here on Christmas day with my boyfriend and cousin — we were 45 mins late for our reservation but fortunately, a table just cleared as soon as we came in (it got pretty busy an hour later… around 5PM, so reservation might be wise). We ordered the following:
1. Scallion pancakes — good, but not outstanding
2. Pan Fried Beef Dumplings — delicious!
3. Chicken with Garlic Sauce — pretty good, but not the best I ever had
4. Hunan Beef — very good! I liked that they didn’t skimp out on the meat; beef was flavorful and fortunately not chewy!
5. Shrimp Fried Rice — surprisingly very delicious and had plenty of shrimp — for 3 people, it was more than enough rice!
The food was pretty plentiful for 3 people (we struggled to finish all the food at the end), but most definitely overpriced (Manhattan prices) — still, not a bad place to check out when you’re craving some non-​authentic Chinese food!

If I lived here I would be a regular! Bigger than it looks from the outside. Very clean for sure.
Had the spicy pork dumplings (free with check-​in), General Tso’s, and shrimp fried rice. The General Tso’s was delicious. Slightly crispy on the outside, not too sweet, and the chicken was good quality. Fried rice, really great. Not greasy, good flavor. Dumplings also quite good.
Will definitely come back.

Really enjoyed my dinner at uncle teds. The boyfriend I came in around 9 on a Saturday night, no wait which was nice. Started off with a glass of wine and the ginseng tini. The tini was refreshing with lychee fruit garnish.
We hadnt eaten much all day so went a little crazy on the food, don’t judge. We started off with some apps– the free spicy pork dumplings ( Unilocal checkin!) scallion pancakes and rock shrimp. Generous portions served hot and fresh. My bf loved the rock shrimp and the spicy mayo type sauce the shrimp was covered in.
For our meals we got an order of general tsos chicken, Hunan beef and veggie fried rice. This was probably the best general tsos chicken I’ve had in the city so far. My bf only orders that so trust that I’ve had quite a few general tsos. Also, the fried rice was super tasty and seasoned really well.
The service was spot on with water glasses kept full and fresh plates for apps and entrees. Plan to come back again or get some delivery.

Uncle Ted’s is my neighborhood favorite Chinese cuisine. It’s clean, nice service and has cocktails for the Greenwich Village area. Been here several times with friends doing the family style meals.
What stood out:
1) Spicy pork dumplings
2) Rock Shrimp
3) Shrimp crispy pan fried noodles
4) Beef with Chinese broccoli
5) Sweet & sour chicken
A nice place to have Chinese food when you don’t feel like going to Chinatown.

Durante el viaje que hice a NY, y estando por la zona universitaria nos dio la hora de comer y comenzamos a ver sitios donde ir y nos llamo este sitio la atención desde fuera, así que entramos a comer a ver que tal era, con la curiosidad de probar la comida china moderna, tal y como anunciaba el cartel de la entrada, junto con un articulo de NY Times sobre el restaurante haciendo una muy buena crítica y por el precio que no era excesivo.
Al entrar ves un restaurante moderno y limpio, con una decoración en base a telas dobladas en la pared a modo de olas y mesas dispuestas cerca de los bancos que salen de las pareces. A estas alturas ya estábamos acostumbrados a que nos sirvieran agua nada más entrar y sentarnos (pero esta vez tenía un toque de limón =)), y al momento la carta, la verdad es que esta muy bien pensado, puesto que pedías una sopa y luego un plato y te entraba un pequeño bol de arroz con ello (menos con el plato de arroz obviamente XD), así que cada uno se pidió un plato y una sopa de miso o de setas (ya había probado este tipo de sopas, pero no tenían nada que ver con estas que nos pedimos). Yo me pedí una sopa de miso, que me tocó cambiar con un amigo que pidió la de setas sin saber lo que pedía (sin saber inglés pidió… ainss =_=U) .
Luego cuando trajeron los platos teníamos desde curri con verduras algunos, hasta pollo kung pao (mi caso *_​*). Como ya nos esperábamos los platos con una cantidad considerable pero muy bueno, todos probamos de todos y no tenía nada que ver con lo que habíamos probado por aquí, el kung pao la verdura en su punto y la carne también, con bastantes frutos secos y con una pinta increíble… y con sorpresa incluida que la primera pensaba que era pimiento rojo seco… hasta que me empezaron a saltar unos lagrimones como las pebrera de grandes… y no era de la emoción precisamente xD… tenía más que un toque picante que decía en la carta…
Junto con el plato que pedimos elegimos un tipo de arroz que iba mezclando con el plato, o arroz blanco o un arroz salteado con verduras que vas alternando con el plato (aquí fue un caos, ya que el camarero era chino y no hablaba mucho inglés ni lo pronunciaba bien y no nos entendimos muy bien, así que los pedidos de arroz bailaron y al darse cuenta nos pusieron un par de boles de arroz de más de verduras a un par que nos pusieron el blanco).
Y para terminar … ¡una galletita de la suerte para cada uno con su correspondiente mensaje ! fue un detalle bastante bueno y que nos puso una sonrisa en la cara durante el resto del día y alguna que otra broma sobre ello =).
Positivo: Local bien decorado, comida muy buena y bien de precio, y… galletita de la suerte !
Negativo: La comunicación con los camareros.
