50 Best Chinese Restaurants in New York

“Great oyster mushroom and rice rolls“

“very authentic Chinese restaurant. like the decor. service is 👍“

“Hands down probably the best Chinese food in the city. I could eat here everyday.“

“Yingtao offers an elevated dining experience, honoring the owner’s grandmother with both its name and the thoughtful approach to each dish. The restaurant’s sleek, modern interior and open kitchen immediately impress upon entry. The tasting menu is a carefully curated array of dishes with refined flavors, with the duck, toast, foie gras, and nian gao standing out as memorable highlights. The flavors here are subtly layered and delicate, showcasing a restrained elegance that even extends to the desserts, which are perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. Service at Yingtao is exceptional, among the best I’ve encountered. The front-of-house team is attentive and professional, and a special mention goes to Ria, whose deep knowledge of the menu enriched my experience by offering thoughtful insights and explanations. Yingtao is a beautiful homage to family and fine dining—a truly refined experience that’s well worth a visit.“

“Spicy Village was a wonderful place to have a Christmas meal! Actually, I'd like to rename it "Spicy Cozy Village" if a spicy environment can also be cozy! To start with, they were very gracious by accepting a reservation for 8 people at 6:00. Then they came outside and took our order even before we sat down and so the food was nearly ready by the time we had taken our coats off! The festivities kicked off with a plate of crispy peanuts, which ended up being the chosen appetizer, main course, and dessert for the little guy in our party. We then progressed to delicious dumplings, sesame chicken, spicy lamb huimei, and other delectable specialties! What was so amazing about the experience is that despite packing lots of people into a relatively small square foot area, it did not feel claustrophobic at all; rather it was comfortable and cozy, like sitting at a big table for a family meal at your house (even if it was take-out!!). Overall, Spicy Village was a terrific place for Christmas dinner - and I'm strongly considering coming back here for the 8 days of Hanukkah too!“

“Tolles Essen und super Service ! Danke 🙏“

“Shrimp Rice rolls with egg and fried dumplings. Thankfully there a a fellow customer who knew English and Chinese to help us order cause it was as authentic as it gets. Got exactly what I was hopping for an experience, great price and amazing authentic food with amazing service“

“Great quality dining and shopping. Whether dining at one of the great restaurants or shopping to cook at home, you won’t be disappointed.“

“Gotta be the best Carrot Dish ever! JP helped us pair the wine. Riesling with Carrot, of course. Great evening with inventive cuisine. One surprise after the next. Lobster dish was the highlight of the evening.“

“If you need to read reviews to decide to go to Congee Village, the order is wrong.. your family or friends should have brought you there before. No one visits Congee Village alone. It's just not the kind of place you go along. The food is tasty no doubt, and is so good you want to share with others, especially those you love and laugh together.“

“Great dinner, great setting, excellent service 👌“

“Great food great service. Nice price“

“Long line because we are all basic tourists 😅 Left line cash only and right line you order on tablet and pay with card. You are welcome! The baked pork bun and pineapple pork buns were delicious. Sweet and salty soft and crunchy simultaneously. Your mouth will be pleasantly confused. Must try!“

“It is one of the best Malaysian restaurants in NYC. There is no need to reserve. Though, cash only! I had high expectations for Roti Canai, the presentation was good, but I was a bit disappointed with the taste the temperature at which it was served, it affected the texture too, and it was a diaster. Despite that, the chicken curry, though not one of the most recommended dishes, was fantastic. The flavors were truly malaysian and a foodie delight. I would recommend this place for anyone who wants to have Malaysian cuisine.“

“Chicken, duck, pork, rice and cabbage—oh my. Super tasty. Out does everyone in the zip code. No exaggeration.“

“all of the food was incredibly flavorful, even the traditionally more milder dishes were still packed with flavor. the interior was beautifully decorated and the staff very lovingly decorated the restaurant with halloween decorations for this season.

we loved the yunnan fried tofu with the super soft interior and perfectly fried outside, the best texture combination in our opinions. the deep fried short ribs had so much flavor and paired perfectly with the lime. the highlight of the meal, the yunnan signature crossing bridge had some of the most tender meat along with the soothing soup that was much needed on a cold day. the portions were pretty big and the food was filling.

“#豬肉腸加芫荽蔥 豬肉腸➕芫荽蔥係我一向響一記嘅叫法，暫時一記整嘅呢隻味道我已經食得好滿足，我唔需要轉住。😆  #一記 #nyc“

“We found a new Chinatown favorite here… highly recommend! ❤️“

“No frills steamed bun & dumpling place, apparently a huge wholesale provider for stores in the area! <$10 to feed two people. In the basement of the mall (East Broadway Mall, under the highway), kinda hard to find, but it’s a vibe when you get there!

The ladies work are so nice. Service is super fast. Cash only.

The buns had a taste that lingered in my mouth all day, but they were good at first bite. I preferred the dumplings (order #2).“

“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.“

“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“

“Staff was super nice and explained what each bun was. There's no seating, but we stood to the side to try out the buns.

The buns were very soft and had the right amount of moisture, not soggy at all. The filling was flavorful.

We ended up getting three boxes for about $20!“

“small noodle shop near Harlem as a gluten free eater getting something satisfying and seasoned well without sacrificing quality can be tough. This place is a go to. They're fast, and my go to rice noodle pork combo tends to last me two meals for the price it costs. Can't advocate enough.

Dietary restrictions: gluten free“

“tried the salty Duck egg fried rice with shrimp and it was full of flavor. must try!“

“Din Tai Fung has been a long-time favorite of mine, and I’ve visited their locations across Asia more times than I can count. So, I was really looking forward to the opening of this NYC location. It took some time, but as soon as I walked in, I could see why. This isn’t like the more casual branches I’m used to – they’ve gone all out, creating a stunning space that’s perfect for a special night out. Though it’s a large venue, it feels intimate, and the table arrangement makes conversations easy. Service was excellent; our waiter was excited to introduce us to the restaurant and stayed attentive throughout the meal.

Now, the food! We tried two varieties of their signature xiaolongbao – the traditional pork and the pork and crab. Both were superb and just as good as what you’d find in Asia. The paper-thin wrappers are some of the best I’ve had outside of the Pacific, with great flavor and delicious soup inside. The pork chop fried rice was also outstanding – tender, juicy pork served over perfectly cooked fried rice. We also enjoyed the seaweed and tofu salad, which was a great starter. I did miss the wild vegetable tofu and sesame oil salad I’ve had in Asia, but I imagine it might be due to ingredient availability here. Prices are a bit higher than their Asian branches, but for me, the atmosphere and quality were worth it. I’ll definitely be back.

Note: Unlike other locations, this one is reservation-only.“

“Great prices for delicious food. I see why Guy Fieri has come here three times. The noodles are perfectly imperfect and the flavors are spot on. The only questionable thing about the place is that the duck is served bone-in which brought down my wife's enjoyment of her dish“

“Had a fantastic first experience at Corner Chinese!“

“Amazing food and great service with reasonable prices“

“Hands down probably the best Chinese food in the city. I could eat here everyday.“

“One of my absolute favorite meals this year. Service, vibe and food were all 10/10. Standouts for us were the spare ribs, wedge salad, seafood tower (the razor clams and smoked fish dip especially) and the prawns and grits. Great wine list as well. Highly recommend for a date night or fun friend/family dinner.“

“Considering all the Chinese restaurant restaurants in Manhattan's Chinatown, Yin Ji Chang Fen certainly must rank among the best.“

“A generous sized bowl of very flavorful noodles topped with seasoned Impossible meat crumbles. By NY standards $12.95 for this portion is an absolute steal! Everyone else selling similar dishes are in the $19.95 and up and smaller portions Although advertised as spicy ?️, I did not find it spicy at all . Next time I will ask fit a bit more spice I am not sure ? f I didn’t mix everything up very well, but as I got to the bottom , it taste a little on the salty side It still was delicious and great value for this dish While not a ? vegan restaurant, they do have several other vegan options clearly labeled They also have other locations in NYC , so check them out“

“We have been coming to Land Of Plenty for years. The food is always fresh, with the characteristics dishes of Szechuan cuisine. Service is attentive and efficient, and the owner is kind. My favorites are Dan Dan noodles, soup dumplings and braised fish fillet with peppercorn.“

“The food was super fresh and delicious! Service was great and my husband had one of the most interesting cocktails I’ve ever tasted! Reasonable prices as well.“

“Went there with a group of 6 that included 2 toddlers and newborn. Table was more than spacious enough for us.
Food was fantastic. Duck bao was flavorful. Mushroom yee mein was also flavorful and a fantastic chewy bounce. The Walnut shrimp was seasoned differently than I’ve had at other locations, making it unique. Shrimp were massive. Beers were refreshing. Will be returning soon!

Kid-friendliness: Table was big enough to fit our children, stroller and 3 adults. More than enough space. It was also during the week. The restaurant was not overwhelmingly busy.“

“The atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. The women sitting at the front is very friendly and welcoming as well. As soon as we sat down they handed us our menus and gave us time to decide what we wanted to eat and drink. I give them 5 stars !!“

“We come here often for special occasions with both family and friends, usually for dinner and or banquets. One of the few remaining "tea houses" in NYC Chinatown offering the usual traditional dim sum. Hectic and noisy but if you want the real dim sum experience, you get it here. Ladies still push the carts with the delicious "touch your heart" (dim sum) snacks.“

“Would give 3.5 stars. The beef lo mein was good. The chicken and broccoli was good, but it didn’t taste like what I expected. The scallion pancakes I would absolutely not order again. There were hardly any scallions and the pancakes had a styrofoam like texture which was super off putting.“

“2024-10-31
This place has A.C. amazing after walking around all day sightseeing.
Food was delicious especially the Szechuan spicy chicken, fyi doesn't come in a sauce. Scallion pancake was very tasty, as was the chicken soup dumplings. Definitely recommend this place.“

“The flavors at Yang Guo Fu Malatang are truly outstanding! The rich broth, fresh ingredients, and perfect spice levels make every bowl a delicious and satisfying experience. It’s the perfect spot for authentic, customizable hot pot cravings.“

“It is not often enough that great atmosphere and ambience pair together with great food, but this place has done just that.

Since their renovations last year the quality of everything from the plates to the whole interior design has improved. Not only that but the food is one of the best in the neighborhood.“

“Fantastic Taiwanese cozy dishes , food is very good and fresh. Service ladies are kind . Downside is all serving dishes and silverwares plastic disposables, even for dine-in. I would pay some extra for each dish just to be more environmentally friendly.“

“Must visit Chinese hole in the wall place. Been here many times, food is good, great place to go with a friend for cheap but good food. Seating can be a bit challanging, you may need to wait a few minutes, but a little patience goes a long way. Enjoy 👍🏼“

“I made a Friday night reservation for my father's birthday, and it was packed by 7:30! The majority of the crowd was on the younger side.

That being said, it was a bit weird that I arrived with my family just a few minutes before our reservation time, but some younger couples behind us were greeted and introduced to their tables first. The hostess did request we honor a 1.5 hour seating and I thought that was pretty reasonable given how busy it was.

The food highlights were the whole fish and the unique fried glutinous rice balls! The whole fish was rich with a spicy and non-spicy diced broth, which was subtly spicy. Fish was cooked just enough to not fall apart in the chili pepper sauce. I've never had black sesame glutinous rice balls before deep-fried and then stir-fried with pickled mustard greens; it's a pretty interesting flavor combination that I ended up liking. It's a bit on the pricey side for what it was but worth trying if you're feeling adventurous.

Other dishes including the Chongqing noodles, sauteed pea shoots, and Zi Ding (spicy chicken), and truffle fried rice were perfect. I'd avoid the black pepper beef cubes, which were a little under-seasoned.“

“i used to go here getting breakfast at 5am,,Amey is a lady server i known her many year,she is very nice
ask for Amey,if you are happened to read this review.

and order Shrimp fried egg,(cook to order)
and a glass of Coffee

it's cheap and they also got other fresh steam buns,Zhong Zhi,“

“It’s always a vibe and the food is consistently amazing even ifs it’s a late night“

“Very nice, good food, good service.“

“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.“

“Best LoMein I have ever eaten!! The steamed dumplings with the Chili Oil was out of this world! All the food was delicious and full of dynamic flavors. Service was stellar and the atmosphere was so welcoming. A total must!!!!

Vegetarian options: yummy

Kid-friendliness: very welcoming“

“Fresh and homemade Chinese food. An amazing cheff, cooking with passion and love. Highly recommended 💯“
