TS MA: Midtown Manhattan's Best Chinese Food

TS MA: Midtown Manhattan's Best Chinese FoodI have great taste for good food. I am the type of person that will discover a restauarant and when I tell people about it, they like it so much that they become hooked. It isn;t all about the food. It is about the quality of service and the ambiance. I don’t want to go to a restaurant that I can’t sit down and eat in peace and not feel like I am being rushed or in an environment that that just seems a bit much. No, I like the restaurants that not only leave a good taste in my mouth, but also leave a good impression on me.

If you are ever in Midtown Manhattan and you come to a point where you just feel like it is imperative that you must eat, I have news for you about a restaurant I would like to say serves the best Chinese food in New York. The name of the restaurant ins TS MA and it is located on 9th Avenue between West 36th and West 37th Street. This is a pretty good location because it away from all the crowding areas you would find on either 34th Street or even 8th Avenue.

You walk into a litghty dimmed nicely decorated and clean restaurant where the staff smiles and greets you. You can tell a lot about an establishmetn where the staff is polite and smiles. It means that they are happy to serve you and you will not have to deal with an attitude just to eat something. That is always a good thing when it comes to eating out because if waiters expect tips and a customer is obligated to give a tip, the better the treatment, the better the tip.

The first thing you see when you walk into TS MA is a sushi bar on the left side where you can get some of the freshest sushi that is prepared in front of your face and made fresh and delicious. On the right side you see a drink bar where you can get Saki or any other drinkt hat you might like. You can either dine in or take out. The dining room is neat and nicely arranged. There are tables that can accomodate parties of any and all sizes. The tables are wood and once you sit down, you are treated like royalty. The tables are turned to you. You get full attention and their minds neever leave you for a minute.

TS MA does not serve what you would call the normal Chinese food. Most of the food is light at TS MA and not many items on their list is deep fried. Their chicken wings are szechuan. TS MA has the best of appetizers where you can get chicken, shrimp or vegetable dumplings or spring rolls. They have a great variety of soups. My favorite soup is hot and sour soup. Actually they make the best hot and sour soup I have tasted and I that is usually the type of soup I irder at any chines food restaurant.

They have great specials which include dmeals either fro mthe suchi bar or just from the regular kitchen. I am a regular to their kitchen where my dish is grilled salmon with brocolli and garlic sauce that comes with brown rice. Their salmon has the freshest and most delicious taste and after trying it just once, I was going there almost every day to get it. They have a special on the suchi menu that includes teriyaki shrimp or salmon with wasabi, brocolli, salad, soup, and california rolls for $7.00. I would also like to mention their Yang Chow Fried Rice which is one of the best rices I have ever tasted anywhere. It is lightly buttered and has shrimp, pork and chicken in it.

All the food at TS MA is very tasty and will leave you satisfied. You know how you go to a Chinese restaurant and order food that after a while doesn’t hold in your stomach and you get hungry quickly? It might be because of the portion they give you. Did you know that a serrving of rice is a lot less than what you would get in the box of chinee food that you receive when you order at a regular chinese food restaurant. TS MA gives you just the right amount to get you full but not stuffed. I believe it is a little teacup full of rice.

I really like TS MA and would recommend it to you the next time you are in Midtown Manhattan. Why not stop by after visiting the Jacob Javitz Center and take a load off while taking in some of the best food you will find in New York.
