“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.“
“An excellent restaurant for many reasons. 1) Lovely setting, atmosphere and staff2) Really reasonable prices for the quality of the food on order and the popularity of the place3) The food was just exceptionally executed. They’ve taken authentic Sichuan Cuisine and elevated it, cleaned up some of the unrefined flavours and delivered it.The best dish was the Pickled Fish, they’ve kept the sourness to a good level and made the fish the star of the show in stead of the swimming pickles.Top mentions to the Deep-fried shredded eel (not seen this on a menu before) and it was a great “snack dish”. The sesame balls dessert was a really good surprise, the sesame paste was smooth and not overpowering at all (like it normally is). The chicken & lotus root dish was very well executed, soft chicken and I liked that they kept the bones to a minimum (often it can be more bone than meat).Average dishes were the shredded potato, sweet & sour pork and pork cold dish. All them were well done but of the standard I’d normally get in China.“
“Service was much faster than I expected, but the food was even better. The pickled okra was delightful, just the right amount of crunch with plenty of garlic, chili's, and green onion. The changing chicken was dry fried with tons of chilies that dish is all protein, no brakes. Save room for the rice wine soup. I know it sounds odd, but was a great end to the meal. Cocktails are also great, but be sure to slow down and enjoy them!“
“I will rate this place somewhere between three and four. The restaurant is beautiful, and the staff were courteous and friendly, well deserved 5-star rating. The food is a hit and miss. You need to know what to order in this place, otherwise, the dining experience could be unpleasant to your palates. The ribs in the cage looked fun but not impressive while eating them. The bathrooms were super unpleasant. It is a publicly shared bathroom and is poorly managed.Vegetarian options: There were not a lot of vegetable dishes here, but decent selections. Need to specify no meat for special dietary requirementsParking: The parking lot is expensive in the basement, and SUPER DIRTY AND SMELLY in the stairwells.“
“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!“
“Highly recommend this gem of a place! The dishes are delicious - some top contenders: Chairman’s Pork Belly, Sichuan Wontons (one of the best in NYC), lamb chops, lobster spring rolls, crispy tofu, amongst many other yummy dishes. Definitely try the drinks as well, very unique and tasty. Favorites are the Nightingale and Fallen Angel (pictured).“
“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.“
“I love going to or even just ordering from Shan. Everything is fantastic (although I especially love their dan dan noodles). We usually share the Pork Dumplings in Chill Oil, the Ma-La Szechuan Wonton, Shrimp Dumplings, Pork Soup Dumpling, Crab Roe Soup Dumpling, Sweet & Spicy Udon, and Sliced pork belly w. mustard green.“
“One of my favorite places in Williamsburg to get Sichuan food. All the dishes are fresh and delicious, absolutely no misses! Service is good. Would definitely recommend reserving a table in advance. Also would recommend getting double cooked pork and spicy fish fillet.“
“Very authentic Chinese food ? I thought the prices were very reasonable, my friend and I ordered the sliced beef in chili oil and, the crab meat soup dumpling and two rice, and we left very satisfied - although some dishes on the menu can be much more expensive than what we ordered. The place is a bit cramped but that's to be expected for east village. The wait can get long also, so try to come a bit before the usual dinner time (6 ish pm on a weekday)I cannot wait to come back and try other dishes!“
“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“
“First time trying their hotpot. Their soup base was very flavorful and smelled delicious. The food was also really fresh. The marinated meat was my favorite. My waitress kexin recommended me a lot of the dishes, and she was very knowledgeable of the menu. Amazing person! Definitely come back again.“
“I rarely eat Chinese food at a restaurant it’s usually takeout. However, on Saturday after shopping and the heavy rain we decided to stop in bay ridge and we decided for a change instead of Italian and I’m glad we did because the food was delicious the manager and all the staff were very friendly and accommodating I will definitely be going back the atmosphere was friendly and very warm I really enjoyed the experienceKid-friendliness: I didn’t have children but there were many families with children fascinated with the large fish tank with big fish“
“Wonderful restaurant my friends and I have been frequenting for years! Perfect for those who love love love to do family style because there are SO MANY tasty things on the menu! Perfect for brunch, lunch, dinner and second dinner! Super helpful and knowledgeable staff, it’s no surprise this establishment stays busy! A special thank you to our lovely server, who was an angel on earth ❤️Vegetarian options: 100% Vegan“
“Excellent decor, you can miss it from it's non descript exterior but once you walk through the door it opens up into a large space with fully stocked bar and a pleasing aesthetic. The beef tripe in chilli sauce is excellent and my favorite off the menu. They also give generous portions of both food and wine for a great price that doesn't break the bank.“
“The Szechuan cuisine scene in Flushing is unparalleled! The "Water-boiled Beef" is incredibly tender and flavorful, while the "Crispy Eel Shreds" offer a delightful crunch and aroma, perfect for pairing with wine. Their "Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs" and "Pea Shoots" are excellent choices for rice accompaniments. Plus, the servers, affectionately referred to as "rice bowl wizards," provide excellent service and make you feel right at home. Can't wait to return for another round of culinary delight! ??“
“Welcome to a Alley 41, a Michelin Bib Szechuan restaurant, hidden on41st Ave in the heart of Flushing Queens. With a modern and traditional decor, their friendly staffs are ready at your service. Steaming hot dishes come out in lightning speeds to satisfy your hunger. Everything is fresh, tasty, and flavorful. Grab your chopsticks and start digging in for some Szechuan delights. Make your way to Alley 41 and spice up your dinner!“
“Full moon rising! Totally delicious mapo tofu and den den mein. I really enjoyed the peanutty vibes of the den den mein and the mouth numbing qualities of the soft mapo tofu. Hot but definitely not too challenging. Upon polishing off the dishes my insides felt like I’d been sat in a spice sauna, perfect for a rainy grey day in the East Village. The restaurant itself is a cosy bijou nook bathed in pink ambient light and adorned with gashapon style nik naks.Hip without pretension, hot without perspiration. Recommended.“
“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.“
“Great place for hotpot. Contemporary interior with iPad ordering and food flavors were super authentic. We got the 2 flavor broth - chicken chestnut & normal spicy level. And let me tell ya… the normal spicy level was SPICY. This is coming from a group of Chinese people. We went for my birthday and they had a crew come out with fun signs, birthday music, and dessert with a candle!“
“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!“
“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.“
“Came here on a whim after having a hard time deciding on a place to eat. Best decision ever as everything we ordered was delicious. The service here is great too, they train the staff here well. This spot is now a must visit whenever im in nyc. Go to orders are the Peking duck with the salt and pepper duck bones, preserved ham fried rice and szechuan string beans. Those three dishes are ? ? ?.“

“My first impression of this Hot Space restaurant is their staff is very friendly and willing to answer your questions. For a first time visitor, that's definitely helpful.When we ordered the food, the waitress patiently explained what are the menu and what are the dishes they are known for. She even suggested the spiciness, and warned us the extra ingredients might ruined the perfect flavor.The restaurant prepared the food in the kitchen to maybe 95% done, and then sent the grilled fish in a tray on a stove to our table. The server told us to wait a few minutes for the flavor to fully sink in.We got the strip bass with the golden combination. The fish was grilled just right. The skin was crispy and easily separated from the meat. The meat was at an excellent tenderness. Under the fish were the golden combination ingredients we ordered. They added ample spices to create the flavor and sauce to dip the fish into.After the meal, we overheard that the restaurant doesn't do takeout. I think they want their diners to enjoy their dishes at the best quality. Takeout orders simply can't do justice.“
“This place was great. I took my mom there and she ordered beef with onions and scallions with an order of pork fried rice. The portions were huge and shareable. I had their brisket soup! It was so delicious! My mom loved her food and so did I! Person serving us was super nice and place was very clean. Great prices too! I want to take my husband and kids soon.“
“Exceptional food and service was terrific. We were incredibly fortunate with a group of four to walk in however I’d recommendyou have a reservation because it was busy. Food was some of the best Chinese I have ever had. I highly recommend and the staff were wonderful and quickly took care of us.“
“It's simply the best soup in the NYC, period. It's comfort food. The soup reached your soul. It's homey, like coming into visit a close relative. With that, you immediately feel love from the chefs who just humbly give you one of the best things you ever tasted. I'll dream about the food.“
“Hao noodle not just provides noodles but some really authentic Chinese dishes like sautéed eggplant with garlic sauce; sautéed sole fish in clay pot; stir fried vermicelli with prawn in XO sauce which are hardly find in Chinatowns. Great environment and highly recommended this place.“
“I really enjoyed the sour pickle fish and sweet and sour pork here. There’s also something for everyone, my mom’s vegetarian and we got the cauliflower dish for her and it was very flavorful. For dessert we topped it off with their bing feng and it was really refreshing. The service was also very fast and accommodating!“
“The dining environment is clean and tidy, and all service staff are very friendly. I ordered boiled beef and dry-pot cauliflower. The food was served quickly by the kitchen. The price was not expensive judging from the amount of food, and the taste was very good!“
“I have just sold my first-class mansion in Tomson. I can eat the private dishes here as I want. I contacted several small loan companies in the port, Ola. We are country bumpkins. Just love eating fish. Eat whatever you want. Gang Gang Di is Lu Gude. good “
“Liked the food a lot, it was fresh and very tasty! We ordered the sesame cold noodles, garlic Chinese eggplant, salt and pepper tofu and vegan made weeping tiger salad. Honestly each dish was better than the other, right amount of spice and was light. The atmosphere was kind of dive bar-y which was pretty nice. The prices were a bit high in my opinion though. The service wasn’t very good. Our server wasn’t very knowledgeable about the menu as we were asking her questions about it. She brought the check right after we finished our food without asking if we needed anything else which I found it very odd and sloppy! Maybe she was new…“
“Northern Sichuan jelly has a cool red oil flavor.The hand-shredded cabbage pot is very filling! Very appetizing!The twice-cooked pork is very generous, the meat is a little fatter, and the taste is very authentic.Green Sichuan Pepper Diving Fish, not very impressive in appearance, but the seasoning is so good that my lips are numb after eating it.The spicy pepper chicken tastes a bit like spicy chicken, I think it’s delicious!The spicy chicken is very, very tasty, and the taste is very rich, numb and spicy. The little twists inside are a surprise and delicious.The meat of chestnut braised pork should be fried first. It is very fragrant, fat but not greasy. The chestnuts are sweet and the sauce is perfect when mixed with rice.Black truffle cauliflower is a very special dish. The cauliflower is not the type that is cooked in a dry pot. It has a healthier taste and is quite delicious.Rice wine is added to the jelly, which is not very sweet. It can be used to relieve the spiciness, but it is not recommended.The beef in sour soup is super spicy and sour, very delicious.The beef chow mein was a bit salty.Potato beef is completely delicious that you can make at home.The red soup double crisp is okay. If you want to eat yellow throat and beef louver, you can try it.Husband and wife's beef slices are average.“
“This was a great experience!! I got there early, around 5:30. The staff were very welcoming and attentive, the menus are beautifully designed and so many delicious choices ( it was hard to choose).Every single choice i made was “the right one”. Presentation was beautiful, I highly recommend!!!By far the best Chinese I’ve had!“
“Wow that mapo tofu with beef was so delicious!! It’s a take out spot, not sure it was once a restaurant as it looked nice inside even with it being blocked. It was very filling, it was a deep bowl filled with mapo tofu beef and some greens and sauce. With white rice. It can easily be missed, the sign they have is not really good. If you know, and if I lived very close, it would be hard not to want to come at least once a week. Amazing value in a very built up part of town. The lady who took my order and gave me my food and utensils was very pleasant.“
“Dim Sum Chelsea is by far the best restaurant I've ever been to. The food quality is outstanding, with generous portions served promptly. I especially enjoyed the pork soup dumplings, chive and shrimp dumplings, and the Jumbo Shrimp with bean curd. The jumbo shrimp dish, in particular, is a must-try! Additionally, the service is impeccable, with servers who are incredibly friendly and attentive. I highly recommend Dim Sum Chelsea for a fantastic dining experience.“
“Holy cow was this food delicious! But be warned, some dishes pack a punch with the deeply aromatic spices. The flavors may not jive with people looking for typical Americanized Chinese food but it is definitely worth a try. Oh and especially the dumplings in chili oil and the red bean buns for dessert. The service was friendly and prompt!“

“The menu is very clear and concise, shows every main ingredient in each dish.Mongolian ve was cook to perfection and had a great sauce. The portion was great enough with a reasonable price and the taste was overall authentic & delicious. Definitely will come back.“
“It was a cold friday night, and my girlfriend's family and I decided to go to our favorite hot pot restaurant in long island city, but for some reason, they closed for renovation, and that’s why we decided to go to Da Long Yi Hot Pot.We were lucky that we had the table right away.By far for anyone who looking for flavorful hotpot in long island city. I absolutely recommend you to try Da Long Yi hot pot. The quality of meat are excellent. The chestnut chicken soup is rich and creamy.“
“Szechuan Gourmet is definitely one of the best Szechuan restaurants in Manhattan.It’s recommended by Bib Gourmand for years and we finally gave it a visit last weekend.We had their Mapo Tofu, Braised Fish Fillet w Roasted Chili, Sautéed String Beans and Braised Beef Flank Pot. Their portion was decent with a little high price but the taste was outstandingly delicious.The Mapo Tofu was one of my favorites. It was extremely soft and flavorful with mild spicy. Their Braised Fish Fillet w/ Roasted Chili was surprisingly tasty and flavorful. The texture of the fish was delicate with appetizing sauce.“
“Been coming to this place for over 10 years and finally getting around to write a well deserved review. Whether it be their lunch special or dinner menu, they do not disappoint. My favorite is their dry pot dish, braised beef noodle soup, and the sweet and tangy orange beef. The appetizers are excellent as well as the typical Szechuan cuisines. Please do not change the chef and will keep coming back.“
“Great Sichuan place. Chicago has amazing Chinese food in general and Sichuan in particular and this place is the same level. The fire-exploding kidneys were moreish and I loved the addition of red onion to the traditional wood ear salad.Service was kind and the place has a calming atmosphere when it's not busy.“
“my daughter in law were in Manhattan for the day and we stopped in for lunch...it was a great experience from start to finish...I ordered the bass with hot bean sauce...it was Perfect! everyone was very polite and attentive, will definitely come back again...nice job gentlemen“
“Wandered in here at 2:30 in the morning when everything else was closed. Got the mapo tofu and some dumplings and it was fantastic. Service was great too. I have quite literally never left a review for any restaurant before, but had such a positive experience I wanted to spread the word.“
“Thought the food for the price was just ok. Spicy wontons came 4 to an order and were tiny wontons. Sauce was great..just a small order. Pork lunch was also a very small portion for the price. All in all, we feel this place is good…just not great“
“I'm not Chinese but I often see families here and I imagine this is what my friends always felt or talked about as a nostalgic time with their family eating a big pot of frogReally good tasting even tho I've only gotten the spicy frogStaff is very attentive and restaurant is just clean and nice to just sit chat and eatFeels nice and cozy to just be with friends for an hour eating a lot“
“We visited Han Dynasty UWS on Christmas Day for an absolutely fantastic spread. We had a range of starters (the Pork Belly, and Crispy Cucumber were my favourites!), and a few entrees to share (the Hot Sauce Style tofu was a revelation, and the Three Cup Chicken a crowd favourite). One person in our party spent some years living in China, and she was loving every single dish, calling this one of the best Chinese meals she'd had in a long time.We enjoyed our meal at Han Dynasty so much that we ordered takeout a couple of weeks later, which was equally as great! Highly recommended for a slightly more upmarket yet authentic meal!“
“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!“
