Description



This sister restaurant to Long Island's O Mandarin features a dining room styled with cane chairs. The kitchen accommodates both spice enthusiasts—with dishes like the Chengdu mouthwatering chicken—and those seeking milder options, such as honey walnut shrimp with candied walnuts and slow-cooked Mandarin spare ribs. Even during busy hours, the service remains quick and welcoming.
