"On my must eat at places whenever I visit NYC. Reasonably priced and Chinese food done how I wish most of the rest of the US would do. The Potstickers (dumplings, mandoo, etc) are in thinner wrappers than most areas and are available in pork, shrimp and vegetarian varieties (all worth a try). The other dishes have a meat and vegetables selected for quality, which results in a good base taste. The when it comes to the sauces they are balanced and lightly applied to bring out flavor and not cover up the taste of poorly selected/ prepared ingredients. For spicy dishes they rely on real peppers and spices not salt and vinegar which is an unfortunate failing in most US restaurants but thankfully not here. The menu is in Chinese and English. The decor is clean and nothing special, but the food will always make Ollie's a must stop at restaurant for my infrequent NYC visits."
