About Uncle Lou 快樂人

Hi. I'm Louis Wong. Chinatown is my home. With over five decades of being in the community as a businessman, I'm using my connections to local produce vendors, fishmongers, butchers, grocers, and cooks to create the Cantonese restaurant of my dreams. This space is for the lo wah kiu, jook sing, and friends from all over the world. Welcome!

Uncle Lou 快樂人 is a cantonese restaurant in New York, New York. It is listed at 73 Mulberry St, New York, NY 10013, which places it among the local businesses of New York that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by. Google also lists it under asian restaurant, brunch restaurant, chinese restaurant, which is worth knowing if you are comparing several options in the area.

Chinese restaurants in the United States range from steam-table lunch counters to white-tablecloth Cantonese seafood halls, and most fall somewhere in between: a laminated menu, a lunch special board, and combo plates priced a few dollars below the dinner menu. Ordering by number off the menu is normal and speeds things up, especially at takeout counters. Family-style ordering, where a table shares several dishes with rice rather than each person getting an individual entree, is standard at sit-down spots and usually cheaper per person. Many neighborhood restaurants are cash-preferred or charge a small card fee, so it is worth asking or checking the door before you order. Delivery apps cover most areas, but calling the restaurant directly is often faster and avoids the markup.

Hours are published for 1 day a week. Typical hours are 11 AM–10 PM. Note that it does not open on Tuesday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. You can reach Uncle Lou 快樂人 at (212) 966-5538; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. More information is available on its website, unclelounyc.com.

Delicious! The pork dumplings were so tasty with a good portion of filling. The sesame chicken blew me away- the chicken was so fresh and crispy. You also receive a pot of tea with your meal that was very pleasant to sip on. And I love how attentive the waitstaff was to filling water cups, as we came here on a super hot summery day and I needed it. Only note is that this place seems to always be busy and you will likely have to wait, but the wait goes fast and it’s worth it.

My friends and I came for a Sunday dinner reservation here. It was super busy and all the tables were filled. If it wasn’t for our reservation, we probably would have had to wait a long time to be seated since we were a larger group (6 people). We ordered honey walnut jumbo shrimp, general tso’s chicken, fried calamari, garlic chicken, water spinach, beef chow fun, and Yeung Chow fried rice. Everything was delicious although the fried rice was lacking the wok flavor. The dishes came out super quickly one by one. Because it was so busy and other people we were waiting to be seated, our group was rushed out at the end after we paid our bill.

The restaurant is a bit small, and the tables are quite close to each other, so if you come during rush hour, expect to wait a little for a table. However, the staff were all Chinese and very nice — honestly friendlier than many Chinese restaurants I’ve tried in the U.S. The food was really good and flavorful without being too salty like american food. I’d give the food quality a 10/10. The only small downside was that the roasted chicken was a bit dry, but overall, it was still a great.

We arrived just before noon on a recent Friday and were seated immediately. The restaurant started to get busy shortly after. We were pleasantly surprised by the extensive lunch menu. We ordered the Fried salt & pepper shrimp and the Braised beef ribs in black pepper sauce from the lunch specials, and the Pea shoots sautéed with garlic from the dinner menu. The pea shoots were tender and the beef ribs were very flavorful. However, the salt and pepper shrimp were prepared as deep fried shrimp balls and a bit bland; we were expecting the traditional shell-on style with plenty of salt and pepper. Our waitress was friendly and helpful, but our interactions with other staff members were less positive. Overall, we found the meal to be a great value for lunch.

The salt and pepper chicken wings are a must!! This is my 5th or 6th time here and I take all my friends and family visiting. This time we had beef chow fun and garlic chicken and it was delicious. We love the complimentary tea too. This place usually has a wait but it moves fast depending on the day. The staff is very sweet and attentive.
