Located in the Upper East Side, Tang By MR. SUN offers a unique fusion of Eastern and Western culinary traditions. Our founder envisioned a place where Chinese cuisine is celebrated for its elegance, not just the familiar heavy, oily dishes. We pride ourselves on using premium ingredients, such as filet mignon for our Beef & Broccoli and tiger prawns in our Shrimp Satay. Our culinary journey began with a small eatery near Rockefeller Center, where our seasoned chefs, recruited from China, honed their skills in adapting authentic Chinese flavors to suit the local palate. We've since added a young chef to our team, bringing new flair and modern presentation to our dishes. We invite you to try our signature dishes, including the flavorful Curry Veggies, spicy Kung Pao Chicken, rich Beijing Chicken, savory Beef Rib, luxurious Truffle Scallion Pancake, indulgent Lobster Crunchy Noodles, and sumptuous Creamy King Crab Udon. Join us at Tang to discover a new, refined side of Chinese cuisine.

    The restaurant that was there before Aves was a local favorite and we were curious about what they did with the space. The place looks drastically different, but it has kept the same cozy vibe. The menu is interesting and has some of my favorite Asian foods, which pretty much guarantees we'll be back. The food is delicious and the portions are large. Also props to the bartender, he makes excellent cocktails!

    Great experience for our Valentines Dinner! Got the sushi and sashimi for two. Wasn’t crazy expensive only $79 and was very filling and delicious! I love how they gave so much food in portions for two people, so we both got to try new things on each bite. Super modern cozy, would recommend and will for sure go again! Service was great and respectful, host was welcoming, and props to the chefs as well for making the Sashimi so flavorful! I just had it last night, but craving it again already.
