“My boyfriend and I consistently go here on a weekly basis! We’re from the area, and absolutely love this little hidden gem. I’m a vegetarian so I always go for the general tsos bean curd with vegetable fried rice which is just delicious :) We will definitely continue to keep going back to China Dragon, and highly recommend it!“

“This place changed my life. I first moved to the neighborhood in 2022, I was scared, young, nervous, but ready for the big city. Thankfully The Handpulled Noodle was there to give me the vitamins and minerals I needed to work without end for my dear landlord. The Handpulled Noodle was there for me when nobody was. When you’re looking for insanely good noodles to eat, look no further. P.S. try the mango tea.“

“Stopped by for dinner while in the NYU area and it feels like the kind of place that just fits the neighborhood.
Very casual setup, nothing fancy. A lot of students coming through, people eating solo or in small groups — pretty easy spot to drop into without thinking too much.
Food is more on the home-style side. Not overly heavy or overly seasoned, which actually makes it easier to come back to. Portions are decent, and prices are reasonable for this part of the city.
It’s not really a “destination” restaurant, but more of a reliable, everyday kind of place. If you’re around NYU, I can see this becoming part of a regular rotation.“

“Insane drinks made by Bonnie (the Jasmine Fall and the Cherry Old Fashioned) the flavors were unlike anything else we’ve ever had. Will be dreaming about the Jasmine Fall. Same with the food - absolutely amazing dumplings. Also - drinks were buy one get one free because it was late night. Bonnie is the best - she was so helpful and kind when it came to helping us narrow down what we wanted!“

Atmosphere was great and waiters are so nice and attentive, you would miss something by leaving nyc and not eat there !“

“We came for dinner on a Sunday after a show, the menu was a 7-course tasting menu with an optional 8th course and an optional wine pairing. We opted for the 8th course and my wife did the wine pairing, I got the Sour Plum cocktail which was fantastic. The price was on the low end for a Michelin starred restaurant, making this a comparatively more accessible option for fine dining. The staff was very bubbly and constantly executing elevated soft touches to make for a memorable experience. The dishes had such a vast array of flavors, my favorite was the plum duck but it’s tough to choose from so many strong contenders. There wasn’t a single “miss”. The wine pairing was a perfect complement to the courses, we’d highly recommend opting for it since that took this to the next level. We had an excellent experience and highly recommend Yingtao!
Date visited: 3/8/26“

“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.“

“This is definitely a place I will be coming back to. We got the popcorn chicken, beef noodles and the beef with rice. Everything was flavorful and the chicken was perfectly seasoned and crispy. The restaurant was also very spacious with plenty of seating. 10/10!“
“Always wanted to try this place.
Let’s start with the pros. Definitely worth the hype. Make sure to get the egg burrata dip with extra fried dough. I would skip the truffle ravioli. It sounded interesting, but was just okay. We also got the peppercorn fish stew which is always staple. Overall, foodwise, I appreciated the play on italian Szechuan food, but I would definitely research a bit beforehand for what to order.
Okay, now the cons. I will say, I thought they were known for their cocktails, but they were just okay so I think you can skip these unless you want to pair.
My one other complaint was that this was our anniversary dinner and we did mention it in our resy reservation, so we were wondering if they would prepare a little something, but they didn’t even congratulate us. Pretty sure this was an oversight, but this was my nitpick and for these reasons I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5.
Otherwise, highly recommend coming here with a big group to try multiple dishes!“

“I’ve been on a malatang phase and this is one of the better ones I’ve had. You build your own bowl and it actually feels like the flavors come through, not everything blending into one spicy mess.
The broth is rich but still balanced. It has depth without feeling greasy, and you can actually taste what you picked instead of it getting lost.
Ingredients feel fresh and there’s a good variety. Nothing looks tired or sitting there all day.
Also their chili oil is really good, which makes a big difference. It brings everything together without overpowering it.
It’s a bit chaotic grabbing everything but that’s part of it. Not a place to sit for long, just build your bowl, eat, and go. But it’s consistently solid and I keep coming back.“

“My girlfriend and I came here to celebrate a special occasion. They have a good happy hour and the service was fantastic. They are super friendly and attentive. The fried rice is awesome and the general tso’s chicken was delicious, with portions so big that we took home leftovers. If I could recommend one thing it would be the fried dumplings appetizer, best I’ve ever had in NYC. We will be back soon!“

“We enjoyed a pleasant lunch at Spice Symphony.
We are originally from Mumbai and this place took us back to our roots. The ambience, hospitality and taste were a 5/5.
The servers were attentive and prompt to respond.
We were a noisy bunch seated there because it was a family reunion, but the staff were still kind and accommodating. They made sure we felt at home and the rest of the restaurant guests were not inconvenienced by us.
My personal favourite is the Dahi Kebab, Palak paneer and Rasmalai.
I tasted the Chinese food from one of my cousin’s choices and relished the Hakka Noodles.
Thank you for a memorable experience at Times Square!“

“Check out my I G lawyer.traveler.dreamer for more footage of our experience. Bodai in Midtown Manhattan offers a rare and memorable dining experience. The restaurant blends Buddhist philosophy with royal vegetarian cuisine inspired by the Qing Palace. It was my first time trying a full vegetarian tasting menu, and I was impressed by how flavorful and creative every dish was. The mushroom dishes stood out the most, especially the Stichotas japonicus with cucumber sauce, the pan-seared boletus with green millet, and the Nepal mushroom quinoa with pepper sauce. Each course felt balanced and intentional—low oil, low sugar, and focused on natural taste. Even traditional dishes like Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and zhajiang noodles were reimagined beautifully. The dessert, called “Nectar of the Core,” was light and refreshing. Dining at Bodai feels like a calm, thoughtful journey through color, texture, and flavor. If you’re looking for an elevated vegetarian meal in NYC, this is worth a visit.“

“Dao Dim Sum on Madison has officially stolen my heart — and my appetite — with one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. Every single dish was beyond phenomenal. If you’re looking for a place that consistently delivers flavor, freshness, and pure culinary joy, this is *the* spot.
I indulged in a lineup of dishes, and not one missed the mark:
**• Salt & Pepper Lobster** — Perfection. Crispy, tender, seasoned flawlessly. Every bite felt like fireworks.
**• Salt & Pepper Calamari** — Light, crunchy, and unbelievably addictive. I could eat this every day.
**• Cucumber Salad** — Refreshing, crisp, and the ideal balance to all the rich flavors.
**• Scallion & Ginger Lobster** — Aromatic, buttery, and absolutely luxurious. A standout dish that melts in your mouth.
**• Fried Noodles with Shrimp Soup** — Comforting, flavorful, and the kind of dish you crave long after you leave.
**• Salt & Pepper Shrimp** — Juicy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked with so much skill it should be illegal.
Every plate was a hit. The flavors were bold, fresh, and beautifully prepared. The portions were generous, the presentation was gorgeous, and the overall quality was top-tier.
Dao Dim Sum on Madison isn’t just a restaurant — it’s an experience. If you want phenomenal food that leaves you smiling, satisfied, and planning your next visit before you even walk out the door, this is your place.
I can’t recommend it enough. Absolutely amazing from start to finish!
Update: 6/25/26 I've told myself I must try Evelyn on the menu. Today I had the Salt and pepper lamb chops and the pineapple ribs. As always the food was superb. I can't get enough of this place.“

“The owner and his son are the highlight of my experience here. The son is so much fun to talk to and is one of the best people to have in a service industry. He helped us know what to avoid given my wife’s dietary restrictions and also made an extra effort to make dumplings that could match her restrictions.
The food has so much wonderful spice. Their mount Qi noodles are such a highlight on any cold day and it’s one of the reasons I went there 4 times across two weeks“

“Wish this place was near my home. I’ve tried similar noodle dishes at other restaurants, but none of them compare. Every time I have something similar, I find myself missing this place. It’s honestly one of the reasons I would come back to New York.“

“We ordered the Sauerkraut Fish and liked it. The broth was tangy with a little spice, and the fish was tender. Portion was big — enough for two. Price was reasonable, around $15–20 per person. Service was fast and friendly. Nothing fancy, but a solid place if you're craving Chinese food late.“

“I came here with a good friend of mine after a really difficult work week.
The food came out in good timing and the atmosphere was really chill and welcoming.
Todd was really great in recommending dishes that satisfied the variety of preferences between my friend and I. The dynamite shrimp was my favorite- very crispy and flavorful.
I plan to come back next week 🩷“

“For a chain, they are doing it well. They keep adding trendy options. There is a nod to most Asian culture's foods, not just Chinese. The food is executed well and affordably priced. The staff is well trained and hospitable. The decor is modern, clean, and comfortable. Appreciate that they offer brown rice.“

“This is a solid, dependable bowl of beef noodles that hits the spot if you are looking for a comforting, no-fuss meal.
The broth is the highlight here—it’s savory and warm, with a nice hint of warming spices that gives it some depth without overwhelming your palate. The beef is cooked well enough to be tender, and they give you a decent portion of it distributed throughout the bowl. As for the noodles, they have a pleasant chew to them, though they could have been just a touch firmer.
It might not be the most mind-blowing or intensely flavorful bowl of noodles you'll ever have, but it’s hearty, satisfying, and exactly the kind of comfort food you want on a casual weeknight. I’d happily order it again when I'm in the mood for something simple and reliable.“

“I stopped in here yesterday for lunch and it was without a doubt top 5 foods I’ve ever eaten, both inside and outside the U.S. The malatang hot pot broth was so savory and umami I couldn’t believe how good it was. Medium spice level was just a tad too much for me and I handle spice pretty well (should have listened to the girl at the front counter…). Cant wait to go back and try the other hot and dry pots.“

“Din Tai Fung is one of those places where you know what you are going to order before you go. I expected the chocolate bao to be too sweet but it was really one of those bites where you’d just shocked how they got the taste palate right. While the price is a little steep for just 6 boa, I will still recommend it. Crab and Pork Bao was also a wow. It’s great to see real ginger and people making the boa right in front of you to know that you’re really eating fresh food. The flavors on that were very nice so much so that we got a second bao. Overall 8.7/10 because of price concerns but otherwise it is very flavorful food.“

“The food was so interesting and totally fresh. The largest shrimp I have ever seen. The soup was just the right amount of spice and good vegetables with tofu. I loved the steamed vegetable dumplings, almost like a dim sum sum bun but moister. Our server Lu was very friendly and efficient!“

“I highly recommend their famous pork spicy appetizer. It was our 4th times in this place. I would say their meat is high quality because you can tell from the flavor itself. This is our couples favorite Sichuan place. Tonight, we tried SeaBass Mala it was delicious but too spicy but we’ve finish it 😄😛😋“

“I was craving some dumplings and I walked by Chairman Sun and saw their menu had just what I wanted!
The Pork Soup Dumplings were a 5/5. Full of flavor and the perfect texture. The soy sauce and flavor of the pork matched perfectly.
My Scallion Cucumber salad was a perfect flavor profile for me as a I love a garlic moment. The dressing was drinkable…and the cucumber cuts were hardy and a perfect fresh bite.
Lastly, the spring rolls, solid and great flavor.
Kind staff and great ambience.
Loved my time here!“

“One of my go-to restaurants. Consistently good food and staff are friendly. Plus, the only place around that serves spare rib tips in black bean sauce.
Parking: Parking can sometimes be difficult because of the Italian restaurant customers taking up the specified chinese restaurant spaces.“
