Weekend wait: 5-10 min for pickup, 25-35 min delivery during peak
Weekday lunch: Ready in 5-10 min for pickup, fast delivery
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes - dedicated menu sections including Vegetarian, Vegetarian Beef, and Vegetarian Poultry with mock meats

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not really - this is a takeout-focused counter service spot, not a sit-down dining experience. Better for couch dates: order delivery and enjoy at home with Netflix.
Can I get a table without a reservation? There's minimal dine-in seating and no reservations needed, but C And Y is built for takeout and delivery. The experience is grab-and-go or order from your couch.
Is it kid-friendly? Perfect for families - huge portions at budget prices, familiar Chinese-American favorites kids love (sesame chicken, fried rice), and delivery means no wrangling kids in a restaurant. Local families with kids at nearby MS51 are regulars.
Best For
Better for: Consistent Chinese-American delivery that arrives hot, budget-friendly combo plates with massive portions, late night cravings (open until 11pm weekends), and staff who remember your regular order
Skip if: You want authentic regional Chinese cuisine, a sit-down dining experience, or are looking for something beyond classic Chinese-American takeout staples
