Cantonese (like Lee Garden in Toronto)

My wife and I have visited friends in Toronto the last few summers. Each time, our Canadian friends took us to a great Chinese (Cantonese,I think) restaurant called Lee Garden.

We will be entertaining our Canadian friends (and a few Canadian friends of theirs) in New York in December. Probably 8+ persons. We are looking for a rootsy, Chowhoundish-nothing fancy-but real good and authentic cuisine at a reasonable price...family style service etc. Chinatown would be great.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

      Oriental Garden on Elizabeth St. is excellent.

            Yes. That seems to be the consensus on chowhound and I thoroughly enjoyed it as well...

              i'm the cheerleader for both restaurants (although Toronto has better chinese food than NY does fyi). So i recommend both restaurants, here's my reviews:

          I think that this is the place you're referring to? http://www.leegardenrestaurant.ca/ind...

          If so, I recommend Cantoon Garden in Manhattan's Chinatown.
