I agree w/a previous review. The place is a dump. Good thing it's very dark there, or it probably wouldn've been hideous. VERY RED. It reminds me of an assembly line. Get you in, bring your food, and get you out. Then onto the next suckers. It's so crowded in there, it feels like they cramp people in to make... more

Went there for a bachelorette party. The food was ok, the service was great and as for the entertainment....well that was what you made of it since it depended on a lot of audience interaction and participation. The drinks were great but pricey so the bill adds up quickly. Its definitely not a place anyone would go regularly - most... more

Had some friends visiting from Seattle and decided to take them to NYC for the night. Had heard about LC's a few times and thought it would be a fun night out. The "ladies" were very welcoming when we arrived and we got our drinks quickly. Ordered some food from the prix fixe menu ($32) which "included" appetizer and entree... more

My friends booked a dinner @ Cheng's for my bachelorette party and boy did we hate it!!! They placed us upstairs in some dingy, smelly room with two other groups. A "waitress" came up to us and handed out the prix-fixe menus and left. Another "waitres" came up to us and took our order. The food tasted like TV dinners... more
