Fodor's Review:

This local chain offers Chinese fare in a no-frills setting. Fans rave about the Cantonese-style barbecued meats (duck, pork, chicken), steamed dumplings and buns, and Mandarin noodle soups. The locations in the Theater District and near Lincoln Center are great for patrons in search of a quick budget meal. The portions are generous, but don't expect any culinary revelations. If you order a noodle bowl, you can get out of here for under $10. But if you want to splurge a little, try the fried filet of sea bass with spicy salt, spicy eggplant in garlic sauce, steamed little juicy buns, and BBQ spare ribs. It's a feast that—with beer or cocktails—comes in under $20 a person.

Keep in mind: Reservations not accepted.

I cannot believe that Fodor's is recommending Ollies. The food here is mediocre at best. There are hundreds of chinese restaurants in NYC with better food.
