“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.“

“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.“

“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 !!“

“Got the Beef Noodle Soup, medium spicy, with fish ball toppings. The meat was perfectly tender, very easy to chew and the soup was also the right heat level, medium was perfect if you enjoy eating ramen. The vibes were great, very open area and lots of space. 10/10 would eat here again!“

“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.“

“Came for dinner with a group of Chinese friends. Food is good but not what I would called Sichuan. I can recommend the Sautéed pea shoots, Peking duck w soup, Cucumber salad and the Mapo tofu. I CANNOT recommend the grilled fish, it was terrible.
The decor is honestly bizarre, as my friend put it, a mahjong factory. Service was ok, but dishes were slow to be served.“

“A little gem of a place smack down close to midtown: affordable, delicious, good portion sizes, and great ambience. The waiters are attentive and there’s a good buzz around the restaurant.
I ordered the seafood Lo Mein, the portion size was just right with a good amount of seafood and great wok-hei.“

“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.“

“"It isn't too spicy for Chinese people, but It is for French people"
The owners are adorable and super friendly, we really had a great time!
The dumplings are delicious, you can ask for the hot sauce on the side so as not to risk having your mouth on fire ?
The price remains a little high, too bad it would have been a perfect score without that¡

“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.“

“Do recommend! Happy about this new addition to the Newport neighborhood. The interior is gorgeous with beautiful decorations. It is clean and spacious. We were excited to check it out and were not let down!! Fantastic experience through and through. Service staff was friendly and polite, attentive (frequent water refills and clearing of table was great). Food arrived fast and in proper order - first appetizers, then main course. Ordering via app helps accelerate the process, and what it also does: it gives the customer the option to decide when to aak for the check. Mind = blown! Awesome feature because you can always go back to order more at any time. Our dinner XP was extremely positive.
Recommendations: cold eggplant w special sauce appetizer (see photo) made my taste buds dance, Zha Jiang Noodles an indulgence. The Pork Pancake was crispy and good as well.“

“The place is heavenly. The decorations, statues, interior design, barista station, and the elegance of the mansion-like restaurant makes me want to return one of these days. I ordered a delicious bowl of Teriyaki Chicken, and my body felt healthy with the dose of sesame. I requested a complementary side of Teriyaki Sauce with that order. When I rechecked the menu, I missed a dish I overlooked. My gut then should have told me to get the Mongolian Beef, one of the most prized Chinese cuisines of all time. Even the waiter who professionally served me recommended it. Nonetheless, I want to invite my party of fabulously dressed friends here. We have been exploring many restaurants, and this one is very, very elegant. It is time to return one of these days for the Mongolian Beef.
Vegetarian options: One of the salads, Buddha’s Delight, is a dish I recommend. Highly nutritious and delicious. Many desserts, soups and salads have customizable ingredients vegans can see before placing an order.
Kid-friendliness: On my visit, there was a modest family, a single mother family, who happily visited the restaurant and dined there. So yes, it is family-friendly.“

“I recently dined at New Chinatown Restaurant and Bar, and it was an exceptional experience. The fusion of Chinese and Thai flavors is both innovative and delicious. The menu offers a fantastic variety of dishes, and everything we tried was fresh and perfectly seasoned. The ambiance is inviting, with a modern twist on classic decor, making it a great spot for both casual meals and special occasions. The staff was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall great atmosphere. I highly recommend New Chinatown for anyone looking to enjoy high-quality Asian fusion cuisine in a welcoming environment.“

“I’m from China and had been long craving authentic good quality Chinese food. When I was in NYC this summer with my parents and boyfriend, we went to try this place out, and that was one of the best meal I had in my life! We tried Beijing duck and skewers as well as some vegetable dishes, everything was so delicious, nicely put together, and other items on the menu also looked authentic and delicious. Will visit this restaurant every time I come to NYC.“

“Amazing food, super flavorful and very light feeling where you don’t feel gross after eating. Service was great shoutout to Rakesh, very kind and fast server. And the fact that it is HALAL on top it, incredible. I go to a lot of Indian restaurants and this is one of best places I’ve been to.“

“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.“

“One of my favorite Szechuan spots in NYC. They are probably the best in LIC as mentioned in their name.
Only miss I’ve had here is the mapo tofu. Too much oil and had no meat.
But I would recommend the green beans, cumin lamb, dry pot. All delicious.“

“I really like Lucas Sin, so I was expecting this place to be a little more. My expectations aside, the staff was overworked even after 8:30pm, but they were still courteous. I would say this place would still rank much better than Panda Express (there's one down the street), given that this is kind of like a make-your-own type of place (think Sweetgreen, DIGG, etc.) but with a proper Chinese flair (again, contrast with Panda Express).
I would say that the seating area was a little not well-maintained, but you are served with a bowl used for a take-out anyway, so just take it to a place you feel more comfortable eating.
Vegetarian options: Build-your-own, others are clearly marked on the menu.
Dietary restrictions: Vegan.“

“Came here on a whim and was not disappointed. The flavors are amazing. Thebvegan/plant based selection is good enough that you don't feel like you're missing out on any offerings. It's a bit of a small shop, so order a bunch of food would quickly take up your neighbor's space if the shop is full, but the space isn't the main attraction here the food really is worth it.“

“My friend and I picked this place because it was close and we were drawn to prices. The food was 5 stars. I got the biang biang noodles and she got the stewed pork over rice. I liked how thick the noodles were and it got more and more tasty as I got closer to the bottom because all the sauce was really concentrated. My friend enjoyed her simple yet comforting pork. She says it was very hearty and the soft boiled egg was the best part of the meal. The service was also very good. I overheard the Johnson at the counter taking time to chat with his customers. I could see him leading his team and hustling to serve each bowl of noodles. The atmosphere was clean and simple. I’d definitely go back again!“

“Food was good. Sweet and sour chicken: chicken was cooked well and seemed like better quality than other places. Sauce flavor was not amazing. Everything else was pretty good and authentic Hong Kong dim sum. Staff look professional and you can tell they work hard. I have to be back on the weekend to try the baked pork buns! “

“THE SOUP DUMPLINGS ARE A MUST-HAVE!!! I forgot to take photos because I absolutely devoured them before I got the chance, but they are so flavorful!! Truly the best I’ve ever had. Their shiumai and sliced beef & ox tongue with chili sauce was also very yummy!!! Will definitely come back here, it’s become a new favorite! ??“

“FOOD: Really delicious. Excellent noodles. Highly recommend the wood ear mushrooms as an app. The soup dumplings are also wonderful. Dandan noodles are great, just very heavy -- same with the beef hot pot. We were full after 8-10 bites but excited to eat it at home tomorrow. Also... Having a bite of the beef hot pot was surprisingly good with a little bit of the vinegar from the soup dumplings!
SERVICE: Nice peeps. They were pretty busy on a Saturday night but were able to seat us 10 min ahead of our 8pm rez. It took a while for the server to take our order though. It also took us a while to get our check - ended up getting another server to bring it to us. He also packed up our to-go food very nicely.
ATMOSPHERE: It's cute in here, but REALLY loud. Might enjoy it more for a lunch spot and not dinner date. It's just the nature of the back room - very echoey. Next time I will also ask to not be seated in the corner by the wine fridges. We had to move our table back a foot or two to not get bonked by the door, and I think our server kind of forgot about us being hidden away.
Overall, definitely recommend. And will be back to try more dishes :)“

“The environment of this restaurant is very good, very clean and tidy. The food is not only beautiful in appearance, but most importantly, it tastes great, with good color and taste. The cooking method is simply first-class, retaining the original taste of the ingredients. And the service attitude is also very good, which is a pleasant feeling. Especially a guy in a black suit and wearing glasses, he was very patient and had a very complete understanding of the dishes. Very good service, very hard work, thank you very much!“

“One of 14 locations of this food chain across the city (6 of them in Manhattan).
Freshly made food, handmade noodles.
A few steps from Google building on 8th Avenue.
Clean space, waiting time is longer (I waited 2 burgers for 15min), but it was worth it.
Very decent prices for Chelsea, Manhattan.
They also do not expect from guests to leave tips, quite rare nowadays!
My strong recommendations for this space if you are nearby.“

“The food was fantastic. I had the bao buns, dumplings and scallion panckes. Two other people has Hibachi (it was a lot of food) and my mom and the dumpling soup with shumai. The staff were lovely, not as attentive, but there was a lot going on. We were sat at the hibachi bar area? even though we had reservations for a standard table. There may have been some confusion but we went with the punches. At the end of the day, the food was great, will definitely go back.“

“Guys guys guys. I eat here once a week, if I didn’t hold myself back I would eat here 3x a week.
My water is always full, and service is always on point and speedy.
FYI - I do not get the sauerkraut stew I get the chili boil (the red one) and get less peppercorns. I do basa fish and add beef tripe. I share this with my boyf and it hits the spot and the pre-tip total is about $24. With an extra rice it’s about $26.
I’m not kidding pls go here and try this combination.
It is heaven. It is crack. Surely there must be some sort of crack added. It’s ok I will embrace it wholeheartedly.
I LOVE YOU NAI BROS!! thank you for coming into my neighborhood and life ♥️♥️♥️“

“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!“
