We had such a great meal at Pig Heaven! The BBQ spare ribs were so tender, flavorful, and perfectly glazed. We also really enjoyed the soup dumplings, Peking duck, Sesame chicken, noodles, and Mapo tofu. Everything came in generous portions and was great for sharing. The staff was friendly and welcoming too. Definitely a great Chinese spot on the Upper East Side. We’d love to come back!

Haven’t come here in a while. I ordered fried meat dumplings and soup dumplings to start my dinner. The dried dumplings came suspiciously fast, and I was right. They were precooked and kept heated. The dumpling itself was nice. The flavor was nice. It was the texture that was a bit off. The bottom was burnt but not crispy enough. A few of them were broken and the filling was visible. The soup dumplings were okay. It was steaming hot. The wrapping was nicely done, but just a bit too thick to my liking. The flavors inside were a little bland. I didn’t like it with soy sauce, so I asked for vinegar, and it immediately made it better. For main course, I got an orange beef. It was cooked very nicely. The beef was cut into bite size, and fried until they were golden and crispy. However, a few pieces were quite tough and hard to chew. The steamed broccoli was cooked perfectly! It was green and crunchy. It paired well with the dish. The rice was okay. Overall, it was a nice meal. A little more expensive than I remembered, and the food quality was a little not as good as I remembered.

My second time dining here after visiting the MET. Completely satisfied with the food and service both times. First time I ordered Cantonese duck, which was cooked to perfection. This time I ordered crispy pork, which was a perfection 👌! Right amount of spices, crispy, generous portion. It marked with one pepper 🌶 on the menu, but really not that hot, hits all the right spots. The service is quick and friendly. Highly recommend this place for a family dinner or evening with the friends.
