Very reasonable lunch special. Delicious food. Excellent service. Cute decor. I had the fish filet with chili and miso sauce. The fish was tender and spicy. There were bits of soft tofu making the sauce thick and creamy. The servers do not rush you to turn over the table, but do bring food and check on you regularly.

Surprising gem in heart of midtown. Above average hot and sour soup. Very tasty cucumber starter with herb "pesto". And I really loved the tofu mushroom dish a lot, the tofu was well-cooked, the sauce had some serious umami. This was a 9/10 dish. The real kicker that takes this to 5 stars is the service--prompt, attentive, and kind. Maybe I'm in a giving mood with 5, but it feels crappy to give them a 4 with the service and tofu dish being so stellar. Tldr: I had a great lunch and may even come back to midtown (bleh) for this!

Walked in and were seated immediately. It is a fairly large space and oddly enough they play country music. The service was fast and friendly. As a group of two, we ordered the dan dan noodles, pork soup dumplings, cumin lamb and garlic sauce chicken with rice. Everything was delicious, the only minor complaint was the dan dan noodles were too oily, but were nice and spicy. The soup dumplings were absolutely delicious and I would go back just for those alone. The garlic sauce chicken and cumin lamb were very tasty, similar to other szechuan places and a good portion size.Overall a really good meal and fairly priced. We will absolutely be going back.

The food here is so good! I came here on a wednesday night and it wasn't too busy, we sat right away and once we ordered the food came out super fast. We ordered the peking duck, orange chicken, beef tripe in chili, crispy cucumbers, tang yuan, double skin custard, and black chicken garlic soup, and all of it was so yummy. The staff was all so kind and attentive, and we were able to hang out and eat our food without feeling rushed like some places will make you feel.

Was in midtown looking for a Chinese food place with lunch specials. This place was great! Bright decor, and well set up tables and booths. Hostess was quick, so was the waitstaff and food was served swiftly. Delicious, plentiful and nice plateware if I made add. Definitely will come back even for non lunch time. And oops guess my phone didn't capture the delicious food.

I came here for a large dinner party where we got seated in the private room in the back. The space fits three large tables although we only used two. We ordered multiple dishes which came out one after the other.Some of the standouts for me were the Pork Intestine Dry Pot ($20.95), Crispy Tofu with Salty Egg Yolk ($23.95), and Sauteed String Beans ($16.95). Many spicy food options since this is a Szechuan spot afterall. Some dishes were a bit too salty and spicy, which they did discount after we brought it to their attention. Overall, decent spot and good for large groups. Otherwise, I didn't find this spot to be too memorable (not bad, not great).

Surprisingly high-quality Sichuan spot, the eggplant and green beans here are among the best I've had, and the spicy boiled beef was very authentic as well.This restaurant is among a newer axis of Sichuan restaurants that stretch across Midtown. Oohu is in one of the most random, nondescript locations out of the whole bunch, in that sort of no-man's-land between Herald Square and Times Square.

A two-course lunch priced between $12 and $14 is considered a deal in Manhattan. At 2:30 the restaurant was filled. An hour later, empty. Lunch ends at 3:00.Had one of us ordered egg drop soup and the other hot and sour, a combination of the two would've been great. By itself, hot and sour was too hot for either of us. Mainly me. Double cooked pork is one of my favorite dishes, however I avoid taking chances in restaurants I haven't been to. Unless trimmed, the meat is fatty. And this was. Fine for T. Not for me. I went with beef in black bean sauce -- my top-pick forty years ago in Chinatown's WoHop. Oohu's isn't as good, but it wasn't bad.This is the kind of restaurant I wouldn't go out of my way for but would certainly patronize when I'm in the area. A four-star rating may be generous, but not by much.

This is a location of a prior Chinese restaurant, or it's the same owners and they simply changed the name. I ordered take-out. It's close to where I have an office, so it's a convenient location. I was not impressed with the food though. The prior restaurant seemed better. The decor - from what I saw - is above average for this type restaurant. The take-out service was fine, but there's not a whole lot of interaction with a take-out order. Not much else I can add. I I know of Chinese restaurants nearby I like better.

Fantastic soup dumplings. The bok choy with garlic is killer, too.I've been going there for a while.Finally worked up the courage to try the frog. Not a fan of the frog. But the soup dumplings! Definitely the best in this area.
