My favorite Chinese food in New York city! While the restaurant is often fully booked, they do take walk ups. Take away and delivery also available. Order the Chongquing Chicken Wings, Mapo Tofu and the Malaysian Beef Jerky Fried Rice! I also love the Kung Pao Pastrami and the Stir Fried Celery. https://www.missionchinesefood.com/nyc/
