The dim sum was first rate. Especially the veggie dumplings and the prawns. But the decor is very strange. Kind of looks like a hospital cafeteria. Still, the food is so good, I will be back.

Pretty good Chinese but not great enough take out to get five stars. Had moo shu chicken and it tasted a little off. Will probably try again to see if Lo mien or fried rice is any good.

We waited for this place to open on a Saturday morning. Their dim sum was highly recommended by someone, so I felt the need to try. Our first order was pork dumplings, which were fantastic. Everything got worse from there though. The garden veggie dumpling was downright gross, and it seemed as though what we were being served probably had been frozen. Won't be back - still on my quest for amazing dim sum in NYC!

In the mood for some dim sum for a lazy Saturday brunch, we walked up the street to Our Place. I wasn't expecting a whole lot - good Chinese food on the Upper East Side?? - but we were very pleasantly surprised.Standouts were the clams in black bean sauce, prawns in the same sauce, juicy spare ribs, and sweet-savory baked pork buns. Everything else was solidly good. We overate and enjoyed every minute of it.Will definitely go back, and bring friends next time!

Hey, there's decent dim sum on the East Side. Who knew?Granted, there are no carts (you check off what you want and hand it to the waiter), and there's less choice than in the Chinatown palaces. The options are more mainstream, and (no surprise) they're more expensive.BUT the quality is solid, and everything we tasted would pass muster downtown. In addition, the servers and owner are hyper-polite and attentive. I wouldn't hesitate to ask their advice (and I think they're dying to give it). Next time, guys.I still think the interior looks unfinished, but now that they have beer and wine, Our Place is not just for take out. They have a special menu on tap for Chinese New Year, and I overheard regulars already making reservations.

restaurant, this Shanghai specialist manages to make getting a great meal in mid-town affordable. With a wide-array of options that are ready in a jiffy, it's also a great place to grab lunch or order for delivery. ...?

"cheap Chinese" that won't break your bank, even in this time of so many broken banks. Somehow even the delivery tastes like it's just been served tableside. Whatever their secret, more restaurants should take tips from Our Place on preparation and transportation of excellent food. ...?

on East 55th, but it wins all the way around. The food is consistently excellent and the price-value ratio is tops. Their dumplings and hot/sour soup are very good. While not as "hot" as a szchuan restaurant, they can ramp up the heat. Good Kung Pao Chicken, excellent beef with ...?

It use to be a very good restaurant but our last experience was horrible ! The food was outstandingly bad and we could not eat any of it. They did not care if we ever came back and they were rude. The food was disgusting! ...?

Just went to Our Place for Sunday dim sum brunch. The service is extremely good and also very friendly. The food is pretty good but, unfortunately, I have been spoiled by excellent dim sum food in DC and Atlanta. But, by NYC standards, ...?

Let me preface this by saying that I am as low maintenance a customer as they come. I have much sympathy for wait staff and rude obnoxious customers. I try to be as nice as possible to my server and have never complained about poor service. A female friend and I walked in today at 2:57. We had seen the menu outside.with lunch specials until 3. The waiter gave us a dim sum menu instead and said the outside, cheaper menu was invalid (bait and switch anyone?). Fine, I asked to order the lunch special and the waiter said it was past 3:00. I told him it was exactly 3:00, not exactly pressing the issue. He leaves in a huff, comes back and says ok. I asked for chicken with cashews with soup and roll and an extra dim sum dish of spring rolls. He goes to the kitchen and returns 10 minutes later. My friend orders a soup and the waiter sneers and says that she should just take my soup (to imply that I'm cheap). I do my best to ignore it and we order dim sum. He tells us that dim sum is NOT ...? More ?

Our Place was awesome. The service was incredibly, we barely waited a minute after ordering for our appetizers to come out. When they did, the won tons blew us away! The mango chicken is so light and delicious. The portions are huge, ...?

Delivery time was ok, food was good, my GF especially liked the chicken fried rice, I enjoyed the Chicken and Broc but thought the Dumplings were a bit undercooked. ...?

They use fresh ingredients, but the food is bland and uncreative. If you hanker for chinese, and you are worried about the affects, hurry over. It is safe in every respect. ...?

establishment that wants to elevate Chinese food to an upscale dining experience does so poorly on their food. save your money and go to the take out joint on Lex, the service is better, fater, and the food is delicious at 1/4 the price. ...?

like it was made with a supermarket packet mix. The beef also tasted stewed and lacked both flavor and freshness. The Shrimp Fried Rice was very greasy. Overall a nice looking and friendly place in desperate need of a new Chinese Chef. ...?

Shanghainese restaurant is well-presented. The food is scrumptious, the service is professional and friendly, and the atmosphere is subdued and refined. A good, affordable choice for a date or a family dinner. ...?

Mostly pedestrian General this or that chicken type dishes dressed up with white tablecloths and service with a flourish. However, it's pleasant enough. ...?

Our Place's food was pretty good. Their Dim Sum selection is fairly extensive. We ordered a few dim sim dishes, one was excellent (seafood with mushrooms) while the other two were just ok (shrimp rice crepes and pork shumai). ...?

I've both eaten in and taken out from Our Place. Great proximity to my apartment, but boy, it's one of the most expensive Chinese places in the area, and it just ain't worth the money.Food is VERY oily, it's so oily it basically drowns ...?

I first went to Our Place about a month ago with a couple of friends, and the first thing that struck me about it was the food. Everything was absolutely delectable! Their ribs and the Shanghai soup dumplings were really good, but the Peking ...?

This is certainly one of the better Chinese in New York. The decor is nice without being a "theme" scene. Food is fresh - not overloaded with sugar and oil. Lots of variety from the basics to some more creative dishes. ...?

this upper east side chinese wonder is the best chinese food around. The Peking Duck is to die for if you were to ask my opinion. Also notable is the bird's nest, a potato basket filled with succulent seafood, great vegetables, and a ...?

the three of us were starving and we wanted chinese very badly. we didn't want to go all the way to chinatown, so went to Our Place instead. we weren't dissapointed at all! their savory ribs, and spicy sprimp. this is the place is better ...?

and only a few people know this. Great delivery service, with nice Tupperware and not those greasy carton boxes. The Grand Marnier shrimp, the sauté string beans and the shredded crispy beef are my favorites by far ...?

This place used to be one of the better places on Upper East side but it really has deteriorated. I recently ordered from there and the order was all wrong and the food was awful once it all arrived 45 mins later ...?

We used to order from here all the time and the delivery was very good. Recently, the food has repeatedly arrived luke warm and does not look fresh. The people have also become quite rude. When I called to complain last time they argued ...?

I was looking for lunch places in this area and tried Our Place today for the first time. Got their lunch special soup/spring roll, chicken with garlic sauce w/ brown rice. The chicken tasted fine. The brown rice was a little rougher ...?

The Scene This Upper East Side Chinese restaurant attempts to separate itself from Chinatown cliches like musty fish tanks, opting instead for refined woodwork, horse sculptures set in boxes and overhanging glass lamps. ...?
