Expert Reviews of Province Chinese Canteen

Citysearch | Tribeca snack spot puts a Chinese twist on sandwiches.

User Reviews of Province Chinese Canteen

Yelp.com Review - by Deanne Y.

4.0 of 5 stars. Don't be a hater-- this place is so awesome. It's more of a takeout joint, so don't expect table service. It's a simple, clean place to get chinese style sandwiches. The buns are made on site-- so…

2.0 of 5 stars. Tasty steamed bun sandwiches that cost too much. I really want to coo about the tasty steamed bun sandwiches at Province, but I just can get over the price for these suckers.

Yelp.com Review - by Eric I.

3.0 of 5 stars. There should be a rule about service, either you have it or you don't. Places that make a half-asked attempted at table service just leads to confusion and, for me, irritability. Confusion because you…

3.0 of 5 stars. My friend calls this place a great restaurant for people who don't like to eat, but I think that's a bit harsh. The sandwiches and portions generally are a bit small, so if you want a light lunch or…

Terrific but small sandwiches. They have $3 beers at happy hour -- good beers, not just the usual Bud, etc. This place is a real gem. Please eat here! I walk by every day, and they never appear very busy. This...

Quick, Easy, Cheap and Delicious

Love the spicy pork and short rib & kimchi sandwiches - the mantou is delicious. Can't beat the prices. Service could be a little faster but one of my favorites nonetheless.

Drop by for a quick tasty bite-
