A Midtown Chinese Restaurant That Sends Food Out Sizzling

Sizzling Filet Mignon lands with rice at The Corner Chinese Restaurant, a Midtown Chinese restaurant at 698 9th Ave. The black pepper sauce does the heavy lifting, and West Lake beef soup brings the other classic to the table, with plates arriving fresh and exceptionally hot. Dinner here reads like a sit down meal rather than a takeout order, and the prices sit a little above fast food for it.

The modern room works as a refuge on cold days, and friendly, attentive service keeps the pace welcoming. Takeout covers the nights you would rather eat at home, with the same kitchen behind it.

Hours run 5 PM to 10 PM on Monday, noon to 4 PM and 5 PM to 10 PM Tuesday through Thursday, noon to 11 PM Friday and Saturday, and noon to 10 PM on Sunday. Heat like this rewards a table over a bag.
