Chinese food has a bad rap. People can't stop associating my favorite food with cats and dogs. It is a shame.
One of my favorite restaurants in the city is Ollie's. The place is clean and the food is great. There fried rice is amazing and the vegetables that accompany every dish are fresh. As soon as you sit down a friendly staff welcomes you with some hot tea. It is almost always green tea but I had occasion where they served black tea. Either way it is refreshing even when hot.
I also like the neighborhood Ollie's is at; in the upper West side. There are plenty of stores and the movie theater is across the street. Next time you hit the Loews on 68th street in Manhattan for a movie, get there an hour earlier and have some Chinese food at Ollie's.
About the bad rap and the unfair associations with animals; I have tested dog and it is nothing like what I've had at any Chinese restaurant in New York.
