Time-Tested Chinese Cuisine

Feeding new yorkers since 1989

Located in New York City, Ollie's Restaurant Group is a purveyor of quality, yet affordable Chinese cuisine.

So Who Is Ollie?

When the founder of Ollie’s, Tsu Yue Wang, was just getting started, he was lucky enough to be taken under the wing of Arthur Cutler, the brilliant restaurateur behind several NYC institutions such as Carmine’s and Virgil’s Real BBQ. As a token of appreciation for everything Arthur had taught him, he decided to name the restaurant after his mentor. But how do you get Ollie from Arthur? The nickname for Arthur is Artie; then throw in a little bit of mispronunciation due to learning English as a second language, and voila, you get Ollie! The rest is history.

The first Ollie's restaurant opened in 1989 with the goal of bringing cuisine from Chinatown up to the Upper West Side. It wasn't long before the concept was proven; soon hundreds of hungry Columbia students would fill the restaurant everyday in between classes. Ever since then, Ollie's has left its mark throughout Manhattan, having served landmark areas such as Times Square, Lincoln Center, and Hell's Kitchen. 30+ years later, the mission is still the same: to serve authentic, quality Chinese food at an affordable price! With offerings ranging from classic American favorites such as Chicken & Broccoli, to mouth-numbing Sichuan staples like Mapo Tofu, to home-made Soup Dumplings, there is truly something for everyone.
