Located in the Upper East Side, Tang By MR. SUN offers a unique fusion of Eastern and Western culinary traditions. Our founder envisioned a place where Chinese cuisine is celebrated for its elegance, not just the familiar heavy, oily dishes. We pride ourselves on using premium ingredients, such as filet mignon for our Beef & Broccoli and tiger prawns in our Shrimp Satay. Our culinary journey began with a small eatery near Rockefeller Center, where our seasoned chefs, recruited from China, honed their skills in adapting authentic Chinese flavors to suit the local palate. We've since added a young chef to our team, bringing new flair and modern presentation to our dishes. We invite you to try our signature dishes, including the flavorful Curry Veggies, spicy Kung Pao Chicken, rich Beijing Chicken, savory Beef Rib, luxurious Truffle Scallion Pancake, indulgent Lobster Crunchy Noodles, and sumptuous Creamy King Crab Udon. Join us at Tang to discover a new, refined side of Chinese cuisine.

Absolutely delicious, the proprietor was very nice and attentive, great place to sit and have a warm dinner on a cold day. She gave us three servings of pickles for free because we couldn't stop eating them.
