“Best wonton soup. Courteous on the phone and ready within 7 to 12 min probably. Everything else I've had for years has been great. In front of a 166 bus stop and service and convenient to CVS and post office. Big after school hangout to be expected.Parking: Careful not to get a ticket.“
“10/10 highly recommend. Read about Potluck Club on the infatuation and they were spot on. Potstickers were delicious. The salt and pepper chicken was a first for me, but also delicious. And we had some noodle dish and added the hanger steak. Again delicious. Staff was so friendly and all busting their butts. Really nice to see them working as a team!“
“This is some authentic Chinese food for sure. As someone who misses home a lot, I haven't had such well-made red braised pork was in a long while. The restaurant was a bit crowded, but their friendly servicer definitely makes up for it.“
“Found this late night gem after seeing Sweeny Todd at the theatre.Unfortunately, the kitchen was going to be closed in half an hour, so we only ordered the House Chicken Fried Rice, Shrimp Dumplings, and Sweet & Sour Pork Ribs. My only complaint is I wished we ordered more before the kitchen closed; it was all delicious!! ??The service was quick. Even the Jasmine tea served had a delicious flavour. We'll have to come back here the next time in NYC.“
“We had a WONDERFUL time at Mala Project this week. Our server, Kyle, was extremely helpful in recommending ‘must haves’ for our appetizers, dry pot and, of course, drinks. We planned for only a quick bite to eat, but the atmosphere was so welcoming, we ordered more drinks and hung out for a while. Highly recommend this restaurant!“
“Generally I give the total five star to this restaurant considering its flavor, service and environment. The steamed pot chicken soup is super good I will definitely choose this every time, on top of that I like sugar cake and highly recommend it. Besides, tomato beef soup, Dai style stir fried beef are also nice to try.“
“Got the munchies? Want to satisfy it quickly and cheaply? This spot is for you. It is quick and cheap. Food is also fresh. People are going in and out so food won't get stale. The food is also tasty. They even have veggies for people who don't eat meat. If you're a straight up vegetarian then try the plain congee and the cilantro roll. Excellent! They also do custom orders. If straight up cilantro rice rolls is too plain, you can add egg, roast pork, or shrimp to spice it up. To skip the line, call the number so you'll be in and out.Vegetarian options: Cilantro rice roll, plain congeeParking: As you enter Elizabeth street from Canal Street, there is a parking garage 50 feet from the turn from Canal Street.“
“Omg Yelp revival?? Came here with a group of 5 after Spicy Moon rejected us and it was truly one of the best meals I've eaten this year in NYC :,) Service was so welcoming and the ambiance perfect as well (not too loud like the majority of other restaurants cough cough spicy moon cough cough and super pretty plates and bowls and nice jazz playing in the background) (jk we love spicy moon! they are rightfully busy) I know this review is off brand so will flesh this out with more words later ^^“
“Place is wonderful, great atmosphere, they will squeeze you in regardless of how busy they are. Btw this is our second day in a row eating here. We woke up this morning and couldn’t stop thinking about yesterday’s lunch. Dinner was amazing….hidden gem. BYOB ❤️“
“Ottimo ristorante di Ramen (giapponese e non quello "tarocco" o fatto con quello istantaneo del supermercato) che offre anche una fantastica selezione di ravioli. Prezzi tutto sommato accettabili per la media della città e acqua gratuita. Posto piccolo, accogliente, staff cordiale e velocissimo. Porzioni corpose quindi ordinate con cautela o non riuscirete a finire tutto.“
“Solid hot pot place! I came on a cold Friday night with a friend for dinner. We did make a reservation ahead of time just in case, but the restaurant is larger than it appears from the outside. You use the tablet at the table to place your order. It defaulted to Chinese, so you have to switch it to English if you can't read it. We were not totally sure what everything was on the menu based on just the names. Food/Drinks: This is a communal hot pot place, so there is one large pot in the center of the table for your party instead of individual hot pots per person. This is a la carte instead of an all your can eat hot pot restaurant. You start by selecting the type of broth that you want. I recommend doing the half and half option, so you can try more than one. I typically get one spicy and one non-spicy. Be warned - the spicy one is SPICY! We got the lowest level which is "Normal," and the heat builds the more you eat it. I'm pretty good with spicy food, but I do not think I could do more than the "Normal" level. We also tried the pork bone broth, which was a good complement as our non-spicy option. You will select your preferred ingredients like meats, seafood, and veggies in order to cook them in the broth. We decided to go with beef, tofu, and veggies. The meat comes on a plate that they put on its side, which was an interesting presentation. Don't forget to make your own sauce at the sauce station to dip your cooked items in. We also got the kumquat lemonade, which was quite refreshing! It ended up being about $50/person for everything that we ordered. Service/Ambiance: We were confused at first because the restaurant sign is higher up, so we were not sure it was the right place. When you first walk in, there is a bubble tea stand to your left and a waiting area, so it was a big confusing. The sauce station is in the middle of the restaurant. Service is pretty standard for an Asian restaurant meaning it's not great. You will need to flag people down if you need them as they don't typically come over and check how you are doing like at standard American restaurants. This doesn't typically bother me since a lot of Asian places are like that. Overall: I would go back again for more hot pot!“
“The spot to stop at when in New York. The consistency of this sponge cake is remarkable. $1 for original and $1.25 for flavored..there is a sponge cake with chocolate in it and it just bursts with flavor. It taste authentic just like the ones from Hong Kong ??. This shop is off the main street and if you don’t see the sign you’d walk right past. The Best Sponge Cakes in New York.It is like a sterile cafeteria in here and clean. Go early in the morning when all the flavors are out. Later in the evening almost everything is almost gone. Check it out and you’ll be glad you did.“
“4.3 stars. Need street meat? Good lamb (lean and not gamey) and pork (Chinese roast pork belly with the crispy skin) skewers. The shakey-shakey was not that spicy but a bit too salty. The prices are rising too fast and it’s starting to be not a good value. It was a rainy Sunday 6pm so no line.Vegetarian options: 10 vegetarian skewer options.“
“Really large portions, great value. Dumplings are pretty big and meaty. Flavor of the dumplings is on the bland side, but they do have a lot of meat and are very traditional. Lots of protein in their noodle bowls, they really do not skimp. Great and filling meal for the price in a no frills dine in experience!“
“The most fun and engaging Omakase you'll ever experience. Talk about fun, raunchy and in your face . One hour experience without having to worry about behavior, matter of fact, the staff wants you to be loud and let loose. I've been to many Omakse around the $100 range but nowhere is this much fun. If you haven't experienced Sushi On Me then shame on you. I applaud the staff there for coming up with a party Omakase concept and I can't wait to be back. In closing, forget your mild mannered Omakase and just let it loose here or at their Brooklyn location.“
“Obsessed with Bonnie’s it had such unique takes on Cantonese classics and each dish was excellent. The atmosphere is modern and fresh - would be cute for a birthday or night out with friends/family. Everyone working there is super nice and personable - great service. Great cocktails too!“
“This is the easiest 5 star review I've ever left. Came here for an anniversary and the staff made it feel incredibly special. The food was divine, environment was great, and service was beyond impeccable. Anything you could want for a celebration or just a nice night out. The tasting menu was wonderful and would absolutely recommend spending the additional $10 for the custard and caviar. If you're torn between desserts go with the cake and sorbet, both are incredible but it's the more complete and balanced dish imo. Honestly thanks again to the staff for making a special night even moreso.P.s. I would buy the scallion butter by the tub if I could.“
“If you're searching for a dining experience that transcends the ordinary, look no further than PF Changs! From the moment I stepped through the doors, I was enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth and hospitality. The ambiance was both inviting and elegant, setting the stage for an unforgettable meal.But what truly set this experience apart was the exceptional service provided by bartenders Quenta and Danny. Their professionalism and attentiveness elevated my visit to new heights. Their mastery of mixology was evident in every cocktail they crafted, each one a masterpiece of flavor and presentation. Their genuine enthusiasm and friendly demeanor added an extra layer of enjoyment to the evening.I must also commend Giussepe, the manager, for his excellence and attentiveness. He ensured that every aspect of our dining experience was nothing short of perfection. His dedication to customer satisfaction was evident throughout the evening, and his presence only enhanced an already stellar experience.In summary, PF Changs, with its outstanding service and delectable cuisine, earns a perfect 10/10 in my book. Whether you're seeking a romantic dinner for two or a memorable night out with friends, this establishment is sure to exceed your expectations. Don't hesitate to pay them a visit—you won't be disappointed!“
“The ingredients matter. Chef Guo uses the best organic & fresh ingredients to cook them to their best natural flavor. I love the magic he does with these ingredients. The presentation and restaurant decor just put his cuisine to the next level! Highly recommend this place to folks who appreciate nature, organic and yummy food and fine cooking skills.“
“Beautiful interior design, cute booths, ample space despite the relatively small store footprint. Lunch sets were excellent! We ordered 2 lunch sets + an extra main which is just right for two people with large appetites. The double cooked pork and spicy chicken were exceptional - honestly a quality I’d expect in China. The eggplant dish was a bit too sweet (and I’m from an area that eats sweet) but cooked just right otherwise. Ingredient quality was excellent. Highly recommend going for lunch!“
“Awesome Sichuan spot on the west side that’s got a nice vibe and serves up some great food. Come hungry - the dishes are all on the larger side and it’s easy to over order, which we did - but for the price I’m not complaining. My favorite was the fish filets with green peppercorns which was fire! It was spicy, which I love, but for those more timid they do warn you about the spicy dishes. The mapo tofu was also really good though they serve it vegetarian without the minced pork more typical in China. I’d definitely come back though to explore more of the menu.“
“We had a wonderful event at For U, the food is absolutely delicious, I keep thinking about the cucumber salad it’s so crunchy and tastes so good, the sesame noodles are flavorful and so good, delicate and delicious version of that dish, the best I have ever had. And the Peking duck is divine. It’s a wonderful place for a party, they work with you to make it really special. The atmosphere is very relaxing and the space is warm and beautiful. We had a wonderful time and will go back for dinner very soon.Dietary restrictions: Our event served vegan and vegetarian options as well as standard fare“
“Superb beef noodle soup. Delicious broth and extremely tasty beef. I'm addicted and the best thing is it's just as good if you order it for delivery, because they separate the noodles and the vegetables from the broth, so that when you combine them it is hot and fresh as if it just came out of the kitchen.“
“202404 Quick fix for homesickness near Times Square. 4.5 overall with hits and minor misses.Wonton Soup tastes like home. My dad said it’s not as good as the ones actually back home, but for me it’s heartwarming enough.Beef Noodle is mellow. I don’t usually like onion but the ones in the soup actually tastes delightfully sweet. Slightly oily for me but it’s not too bad for restaurant food.The Glutinous Rice Dumplings make me feel nostalgic. A little less aromatic and balanced as the ones back home (maybe a little more soy sauce and shiitake and pork fat would help), but again, a rare find abroad where the market is filled with Cantonese meat Shiu Mai.Xiaolongbao is alright. The meat filling lacks umami, but the soup is generous/ambitious. The skin is of good thickness though can be firmer.Shrimp Dumplings are a bit fishy maybe because of the ingredients.The dough is freshly kneaded in the kitchen, which is a plus.Service is prompt and friendly. All tables are set around the teppanyaki. We get to watch other people’s show but it’s a little difficult to share food.“
“This location is hands-down a high-quality place. I'm currently in grad school, and this place has never failed me when I order something to go. I've tried most of the main dishes and they are all great. The food has lots of flavor and is always served hot. When I order delivery, the order is always delivered quickly and the customer service is great. I highly recommend everyone in the neighborhood give this place a try.“
“The best place for reunions and chitchat in New York. They have plenty of reservations and it’s located in Chelsea, New York — close to everywhere.Loved my food and the dining experience there. Would recommend it if you want to catch up with friends and find an easy place to talk for hours!“
“I’m almost confused as to why there is such an authentic Cantonese spot that opened up in this location. Servers are all Cantonese. It’s as if they pulled the staff and the entire restaurant and just opened it on the uws. With that said, servers will be yelling to each other ? Been here twice now. Love the clay pot rice. And also the dining atmosphere is very nice, especially for a Cantonese restaurant. Good lighting, nice decor.“

“Delicious, fresh dumplings, served when ready. Had crab/pork soup dumplings, 6. Two were stuck to the bottom, so no soup :( Fresh veg dumplings too, but both sets of fillings were fine, on the bland side. Cooked well- not overdone. Really hard to flag anyone down to get anything needed, but it eventually arrived. I like this place! It's good/ok. Would love to try more food. They were out of the Asahi I ordered.“
“202403Cash only! It's quite delicious. There are many skewers of chicken satay. I was curious about the taste of Malaysian milk tea, but it tasted like Hong Kong milk. Hainanese chicken rice, dry-fried wagyu beef, and chicken-flavored rice were all delicious. The only dissatisfaction was that the coconut rice was very dry.“
“Whether one is a novice or ramen aficionado, the Tomato Beef Stew Noodle is a good soup to try. The entree was reminiscent of a beef sinigang albeit without the tamarind. The boneless meat just melted in my mouth.The atmosphere was warm and so was the service. There is also a kiosk available near the door of one wishes to order takeout.“
“Cash only! Cantonese har cheong fun (fresh shrimp) is one of my favorite foods, and this cart does a delicious take of Cantonese style cheong fun rolls. Their prices are cheap and the system is very efficient. This place has been getting more popular so the line can get long but it moves quickly. They speak Cantonese and English so don't be scared away if you're not Chinese! The only qualm I have is that there's no where nearby to eat. I wanted the rolls while they were hot and ended up wandering awkwardly and trying to eat while walking. Seeing as this is a food card there's nothing they can do about this, but I suggest coming up with a game plan to eat your food once you order.“
“In a chill spot of New York City, Red Paper Clip isn't just a restaurant—it's like your cozy hangout spot, packed with awesome surprises. From the second I stepped inside, it felt like I was walking into a friend's place. The vibe was super inviting, and the smell of sizzling spices got me hyped. Oh, and let me tell you about the Betamax cocktail—it's straight-up amazing! And don't even get me started on the testing menu—it's like a food adventure you gotta try. Plus, Chef and owner Kevin? He's the friendliest dude ever! Seriously, my time at Red Paper Clip was next-level awesome from start to finish.“
“The BeiJing duck was well spiced and sliced. While the staff provided supplementary vegetables and wraps whenever we ran out, the wraps were quite thin and often stuck to each other, making the experience difficult.The lamb hot pot was quite spicy as it had claimed to be. I enjoyed the various cuts. The basket of vegetables were a nice pairing.“
“Very delicious hot pot!! To us the highlight would be the soup base, we got the tomato base, and the duck soup with pickled radish base, both are very flavorful and yummy. And all of the food ingredients are good, and good portion size too. And the staff are all very friendly as well, didn’t really have to wait for very long for services. Will recommend this place!“
“this is one of those places that you go to with 10 people and order 10 different things and they are all completely amazing. not recommended for any dietary restrictions. use google reviews to point at different pics of what you want and be adventurous at the menu—this combo will yield varied and dependable results. new years day 2024.“
“Our experience at Hutong was simply outstanding. From the moment we walked in, everything was just right. The food was delicious and the service top-notch. If you're thinking about it, don't hesitate—just make the reservation. It's definitely worth the cost, and you won't be disappointed.“
“I went there for lunch with my colleagues, and we liked it there. With $13.99, the lunch menu has one Wantang soup and rice bowl along with a main dish. I would like to go there again because it is close to my office, and I love Sichuan food.“
“Solid Cantonese showcasing all of the classic dishes.Fast and tasty Chinese in a big and busy restaurant which is knocking out Chinese comfort foods - congee, Chinese vegetable (get the pea shoots) and a wide range of seafood and meat dishes.Notes about scoring:1 star = Memorably awful2 star = Not good and would avoid3 star = Good but would not return4 star = Recommended5 star = Incredible and must visit if you can“

“The service attitude is very good. She kept asking us if it suits our taste. I think it is very considerate. The lady has a very good service attitude. She helped us take photos and gave guidance. The food is delicious. I recommend the Pad Thai the most.“
“One of the most flavorful/memorable meals I've had in a while! We walked into Figure Eight on Sunday evening without a reservation and were seated promptly at the bar. The restaurant space is small but beautiful, with a blue glow and gorgeous gold accents. Bathrooms were so clean and had adorable framed polaroids of the restaurant's opening day. We were starving, so we ordered fjve dishes, and we were very full by the end of it: 1) Corn jalepeno bolobao. smaller than I'd imagined, but very cute and topped with a thick pat of butter. Pulling apart the bread and biting in was a very discordant experience, because you think it's going to taste like a pineapple bun, but then you are hit with spice of the jalepeno right away. This was unexpected and delicious, loved the pieces of corn inside contrasted with the sweet/crunchy topping. My only complaint was the bread itself was kind of tough/difficult to rip apart. Not as soft and fluffy as some other bolobao I've had. The cornbread is not too grainy, which I like. 2) Razor clams. Fresh and light, nothing particularly memorable. Cute presentation. 3) Long beans. Also unexpected but very delicious! This is a cold salad dish that you cut into bite size pieces, dressed with a DELICIOUS spicy peanut butter sauce. My bf and I are both Chinese and reminisced on our moms making a version of this dish. We wanted to pour this sauce on noodles, but the long beans were a healthy, crunchy alternative. Quite spicy! 4) Pork ribs: Good, very juicy, but paled in comparison to.... 5) FRIED SKATE! This was my favorite dish of the whole night, the one that did the best job of balancing the line between Chinese and Southern. Two tender pieces of skate coated with a Cajun/sichuan dry rub and chili oil and served with a fluffy biscuit, pickles, and homemade ranch, the server recommended making fish sandwiches so we both took a half biscuit and made open face sandwiches. This dish was an explosion of flavor. The fish is so tender but VERY spicy. We were both struggling/chugging water but kept going back for another bite. The ranch was a nice, cooling addition. Biscuit was perfect, flaky and warm. Pickles yum. I haven't been this impressed by a restaurant dish in a while. At this point, we were stuffed after the skate/ribs/10 cups of water, but we made room for dessert. We got the malted yuenyeung and it was the perfect topper to this meal. Served in a teacup, it has milk tea cake covered with a layer of fluffy coffee mousse and malt crumbles. The mousse and malt crumbles were a delight in my mouth, scraped the teacup clean. 4.5/5 stars because there were some dishes that were skippable (ribs, razor clams) but the fried skate and malted yuenyeung were standouts. What a wonderful meal, ended with complimentary puffed sorghum for the road! One thing I'll note, things got pretty messy at the bar once the entrees came out. They offer a hand wipe for the ribs, but between them and the DIY sandwich, I needed about ten more.“
“It was a really nice experience with all of my friends last night. We went out as a group of six and made a reservation ahead of time. I like that the menu was on the phone and so that we could continuously see the menu so that we could keep ordering food when we wanted to. I love the all you can eat, and some of the little special items on the menu or a great addition as well. It was really busy but the ambience was nice. I’ve been to the one in Brooklyn and now I’ve been to the one in Chinatown Manhattan and both experiences were really great and I enjoyed both times out.“
“Their noodles are freshly made, live, by a real noodle chef. It may look like a Japanese ramen place from outside, given all these shabby and confusing lanterns, but it is actually a really good Chinese noodle restaurant. My personal fav is pulled round noodles, either pan fried or in soups. The noodles are chewy and cooked perfectly. I would say their takeout is not as good as dine-in because the noodles are cooked a bit more being steamed in the container. So if you want to try, please come in-person. I hope this place is here to stay in this neighborhood for the long haul because it doesn't seem to have enough customers.“
“I had lunch at this hidden gem. The restaurant is super nicely decorated and gives a very warm and welcoming feeling.The food is the perfect combination of Cuba and Asia. I highly recommend the spring rolls and wontons as appetizers. The lobster noodles was great as well.“
“This authentic and yet upscale hotpot restaurant is fabulous, worth to visit again ( in which, I am returning AGAIN today with a party of 6!) Highly recommend Dolar Shop Manhattan to anyone who loves hot pot because of the following: -Excellent friendly service ( special thanks to Jason's exceptionally wonderful, attentive service, as well as the incredible professional manager Charles ) - Flavorful broth - large variety of food to choose from - high quality meat choice ( fine wagyu beef , USDA PRIME boneless short ribs, as well as fresh seafood ) Fresh and crisp veggies - clean environment“
“Food was great. Incredible attentive service and the restaurant is cute and has nice decor and is super clean. Love it! Would totally come back. We got the beef noodle soup, scallion pancakes and watercress w enoki mushrooms. so full and happy!“
“Sensational!! For folks craving bao buns but not the meat -- this vegan shop that just opened up in Chinatown NYC is the place to be. Don't let the size scare you away. The place is spotless and the food is prepared to order. I found them by accident, but will be returning intentionally in the very near future. #Vegan #Vegetarian #HealthyFood #FreshFood“
“We had a WONDERFUL time at Mala Project this week. Our server, Kyle, was extremely helpful in recommending ‘must haves’ for our appetizers, dry pot and, of course, drinks. We planned for only a quick bite to eat, but the atmosphere was so welcoming, we ordered more drinks and hung out for a while. Highly recommend this restaurant!“
“Beautiful venue with beautiful food. For authentic chinese food this place can't be beat. The location is really central and close to a lot in midtown. Inside, the venue is intimate and the lighting is chic. The decor feels upscale with the vibes of China. Most of the dishes I felt were spicy on the menu but I was perfectly okay with that. The waiters gave good recommendations on dishes to try and we were happy with our food choices. To start we had their eggplant which was marinated well and their noodles which were a cold take on dan dan noodles. The entrees were flavored well and weren't crazy greasy. Even though the menu isn't the largest, we still felt like there was a lot we could have tried. Definitely will be back to try them!“
“I've been taking my friends here for years and this is right across from my office. My favorite is the dan dan noodle. The staff is also very attentive and kind. I came back after picking up my food to ask for a to-go box and though they were super busy the guy remembered me and asked why I was back. When I mentioned I needed to-go container they checked which dish I got, and they communicated that quickly to each other and got me the box, and 2 bags to hold it (I had a lot of noodles/chili oil so it was double wrapped to stop things from spilling).I appreciate that they have such good food and are so attentive even when they're so busy!“
“If you ask them to hold the msg or sugar, or use less oil, they will accommodate you. I think this place has probably the best garlic sauce in the area. I ordered Kung pao chicken and I appreciated how they chopped the veggies small and shredded the chicken. Nothing worse than big chunks of meat. The general tso's had a nice smoky flavor. Garlic sauce was good. The only criticism was the egg roll, which did not have enough filling. I would pay more if they filled it up more.“
