My friend and I hosted a joint birthday with 30 people in their private room last month. Originally we were thinking Wu’s Wonton King but over the phone they told me they are only BYOWine. So glad we pivoted to Dong Yue instead.The private room has a $1200 minimum (including $200 deposit to hold) which was actually hard to hit because their dishes are so affordable, so we splurged and got the king crab 3 ways. It is SO worth it! Where else can you get such a large private room, all this food, BYOB, and no cake fee in NYC?!What we ordered for every table: king crab, whole Peking duck, sweet and sour pork chops, walnut shrimp with fried milk, salt and pepper squid, eggplant and chicken casserole, pan fried ho fun, braised bean curd with veggies, sautéed pea shoots, fried rice. Complimentary fruit for dessert. Everything was fire and we had so much leftovers to take home.I am really thankful to Lily who I coordinated with via phone the two weeks leading up to the event. Even with my atrocious Cantonese, she was so helpful and patient with me. The day of, we also had amazing attentive service while we dined for 3.5 hours basically until they closed. If you know Chinese restaurants, you know they are not known for their service lol.Lastly, I recommend paying with cash!
