Stopped in for lunch on a Sunday, and was really impressed with the food! It came out super fast, the service was nice, and the atmosphere is chill. We ordered three dishes: Eric’s Spicy Eggplant, General Tso’s chicken & Snow Peas Moo Goo chicken. They were all great dishes and will absolutely be ordering them again. Don’t skip Eric’s spicy eggplant!

I order two dishes, 1. Egg Fried Rice, good seasoning with plenty of egg in the mixture, 2. Eric’s Special Chow Mein, sautéed broccoli, asparagus, carrots and onions with a dark, savory sweet sauce with a pleasant mouth-feeling taste that activates the brain pleasure zone. The restaurant is located on the corner of Church and 27th Street on a clean neighborhood with the J train stopping near by.

Stopped in today to checkout Eric’s Resturant. I was served egg drop soup that was delicious. I ordered crab ragoon and kung pao chicken off the lunch menu. The crab ragoon actually had some crab meat in it and came fresh out of the fryer. The king pao chicken was not over spicey although just a tad salty for my liking. Service was great, they kept my water glass full. The dining area was clean and elegant

Great neighborhood spot for chinese. Reasonably priced. Friendly service. We got the sampler app platter, Tao’s chicken, and portobello beef with the recommendation of our server. All the dishes were solid during dinner and next day during lunch. Portions are generous. Wanted to try this place for a while since we always walk past it, and finally went in. We’ll be back and we’ll bring friends as for the pics, we got a little saucy before I snapped.
