chinatown restaurant with party room space & great food

does anyone know of a good restaurant in the chinatown area of nyc that would be able to accomodate a party of 50-60 people for a rehearsal dinner?

    we actually had our rehearsal dinner at golden bridge restaurant last july -- they have a nice private room off the main banquet hall. seats about 70 max, i think we had about 50. it was on a friday night. i'd hesitate to do it on a sat. nite as i think it would be incredibly noisy since the main hall can get crazy. we also looked at chatham square but the main room was too big -- they have a smaller room downstairs but the low ceiling, stacked beer boxes and other stuff made it feel oppressive and very much like a basement room (i think that may have been the restaurant that also had the random mounted deer head downstairs, but i'm not sure! i kid you not...). we also checked out ping's -- thought about just blocking off the back room area with screens, but worried about the noise level w/o an enclosed room. golden bridge worked out great -- the food was delicious and they were definitely willing to negotiate the menu! my mother in law, who is cantonese, was very happy that we had it there as well.

      Chatham Square at #6 Chatham Square. Grand Harmony on Mott Street also will work.

        Prior thread on similar subject a few months ago I believe mentioned Congee Village, Chatham Sq and Jing Fong as having private rooms, though I don't know if they would accommodate a group of your size. I'm sure other hounds will pitch in with additional ideas.
