“This was one of the few restaurants of the many in the neighborhood that made an effort to cater to non-Chinese with full Chinese/English menus. Despite that, most of the clientele were ethnically Chinese. The food is really good.I had shrimp dumplings, a large bowl of wonton soup, and a boba drink to go, for less than $25 before tax and tip.Hot tea is complimentary and a welcome gesture of hospitality.“
“Antidote Restaurant totally nails the Chinese food scene! The vibes are cool – a mix of old-school and modern. The menu's like a journey through China, and everything tastes spot-on. The staff is friendly and knows their stuff, making the whole experience chill and tasty. Whether you're into casual eats or something fancier, Antidote is your go-to for legit Chinese grub.“
“A true gem of Sichuan delights sending tingling sensations straight to your taste buds. A sultry and classy atmosphere perfect for a second date or surprise visit from your step-mom — the vibes here are top notch. Recommendations are the Ma Po Tofu (best in NYC) and Diced Chicken with Chili Pepper, both providing a one-way ticket to tingle town.“
“One of the best restaurant experiences I have ever had. Easily my favorite restaurant on Long Island. I am a chef and the guy at the table next to me was as well and we were both blown away. My kids (4 years old) loved everything, my mother (pescatarian) couldnt have loved her food more. The drinks were on point and the flavors were beyond compare. Their char sui bao were hands-down the best I have ever had.Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian dim sum and a ton of dishes too. Absolutely fantastic vegetarian offerings!Kid-friendliness: My 4 year olds loved the place! The servers were great with them!“
“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!“
“as you can see — we really dug into the delicious food at nan xiang express. what a great find! after a long night of research and dancing we were grateful for what felt like an oasis in the vast williamsburg desert. the food was great and the atmosphere lent itself to great conversation. five stars — and if i could, six!“
“It’s a small cramped hole in the wall place. But it churns out great rice rolls at affordable prices. I got the shrimp rice roll with scallions and an egg. There’s a half hour wait so make sure you have plenty of time or you can do what I did and order go get other food and come back to pick up your meal. The skin of the rice roll is soft and smooth. The egg and scallions add texture and the shrimp was cooked just right.“
