I ordered roast pork from Ollies (103rd & Broadway)and it looks like it was just sitting in the back just waiting to ruin someone’s day and unfortunately, that someone was me. 😒

Seriously though, why would a restaurant serve something that looks and feels like it was carved off a fossil?

    Yikes. Yea there are definitely much better places to get roast pork from.

    Moon kee is close and fantastic – they even have carts for weekend dim sum

  3. I got the same sorry ass pork from them several months ago. I don’t know what happened, it used to be reliably decent at least. And I admit I gave them a 2nd chance and they sent the same gray meat I see in your pic.

    They’re inconsistent. Sometimes the food is absolutely perfect and sometimes it’s “oop, the good chef is off tonight.”

    Only get the mapo tofu and beef with green beans from them

    Your problem was ordering from Ollie’s

    I’ve only ordered from Ollie’s once, from another locasion, and while it didn’t look as bad as that, it was really disappointing.

    Damn I almost ordered there tonight, glad I skipped and got Gyu-Kaku instead.

    That looks raw and dry at the same time! Amazing 👏

    This makes me really sad. I grew up eating Ollie’s extremely frequently from their 116th st location. It was honestly really great. My Cantonese grandparents greatly enjoyed it. Seeing most locations close and the deterioration in the quality of a nice really solid restaurant makes me sad.

    I live near the Ollie’s on 42nd in HK and their pork often looks like that, too. I don’t ever willingly order from them, but some of my friends still insist on ordering in occasionally in which case I will only get their Singapore Chow Mei Fun or sesame chicken. Been burned by them way too many times, Ollie’s is trash now. Used to be so good like 12-15 years ago.

    Ollies keep sending me discount coupons but i will never order from them again. It’s main noodle house for meeee
