Or anybody from NYC. I'm trying to find the name of a restaurant that's some kind of chinese mafia deal.

You walk in the door and a chinese lady takes you up a long escalator and into a huge room where theres people playing dominoes that are being guarded by chinese men in suits.

The lady brings 1 plate of food at a time (whether you want it or not) and she stands over you while you eat and hollers at you and makes you finish the plate b4 you can get more or leave.

It sounds like something from the twilight zone. Ya'll ever heard of such a place ?

I believe your talking about Jing Fong in Chinatown. I have been there a few times and had a good time. I would suggest getting there early, especially for lunch as the place can get incredibly packed.

The person that told me about it said each plate is only $3 , and that the food was bland.

It was their first time in NYC and they were intimidated by the lady hollaring and the guys in suits.

half the places in chinatown are like the one you described Ty.

Really ? Wow , must be a crazy place. They never even got menus they were just brought a plate of food and the lady stood right at the table hollering for them to eat. I've never heard of such and thought the guy was pulling my leg.

people playing games in the back and eating food.

I know a guy that has an esophogus (sp) disorder and he can vomit at will , i'd love to have him there when the lady hollers at you to finish your plate and then have him puke everywhere. ... well , not really but just saying , this just sounds creepy.

been to a few of these Gambling dens in Chinatown.. but nothing with a escalator.
there's one where you walk up a Long staircase, which I thought you were talking about at first... because it's a pain with those stairs
that's because it's above a Store...But like others have said, ( and I'm a smoker ) some of these places you see a cloud of smoke... I can't take...
They are also big on the Numbers game... tons of people down there taking numbers
