“This is a small but great place to grab a quick bite. Their curry fish balls and rice noodles are delicious and fairly cheap. There aren’t many places to sit, but if you manage to snag a spot, it’s best to eat everything while fresh. I’ve been here a few times now and am always looking forward to the next time!“

“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.“

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.“

“Pleasantly surprised to find this authentic spot full of amazing flavors in the middle of our Williamsburg day trip! Walked in for lunch, we got lucky to get in before a big party, but either way their service is great- I asked for recommendation and I was not disappointment. I only wish I had more mouths to feed at my table so I could have ordered everything to try. I thoroughly enjoyed the “husband and wife special” chilled beef and tripe in chili oil and peanut bits, and the sautéed green beans. I believe if you get the lunch special for the dishes you’d get a side white rice, which is much needed to mix with all the delicious sauces! I also ordered the dan dan noodles which were also very delicious. They have quite many options in their menu and all seems really great to eventually try. If you enjoy sichuan flavors this is your spot!“

“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!“

“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.

“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.“

“The restaurant truly exceeded all expectations and left a lasting impression. The atmosphere was both cozy and sophisticated, making it an ideal setting for any occasion, whether casual or special. The staff were not only knowledgeable about the menu but also went above and beyond to ensure our experience was seamless and enjoyable. Every dish we tried was a masterpiece—beautifully plated, seasoned to perfection, and packed with rich, authentic flavors that showed off the chef’s expertise. The ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, and the menu offered a perfect balance of classic dishes and creative innovations. Even the smallest details, from the perfectly chilled drinks to the warm bread served at the start, were carefully thought out. The dessert menu was equally impressive, with indulgent options that were the perfect ending to a flawless meal. Overall, this restaurant is a gem, and I can’t wait to return!

“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 one of the best restaurants to come to Bed Stuy! The authentic Chinese cuisine is phenomenal, Szechuan flavors are delicious, and the owner is so friendly and always has the BEST recommendations. I haven't eaten anything here I didn't immediately love. They hand-make the soup dumplings to order and every meal comes with a free bubble tea! The pork or chicken + shrimp soup dumplings, marinated crunchy cucumbers, and cumin beef are must haves.“

“Came here for Restaurant Week - what a perfectly balanced and rich menu (pre-fix menu also includes a glass of wine and a cocktail). We had XO Sauce Oyster Mushroom and Fresh Squid w/Garlic and Chili Oil for appetizer (very flavorful); perfectly tender and juicy Pork Soup Dumplings (black truffle and pork roe); Lychee Kung Pao Crispy Pork and Braised Beef w/Abalone in Tomato Sauce for entrée (hearty portions and great taste); Sweet & Sour Cabbage and Snow Pea Shoots w/Garlic for vegetable (the best part of the meal! fresh, yummy and such a symphony of tastes!) and Yuzu Coconut Cotta and Osmanthus Ice Jelly for dessert (just the right amount of sweetness and fun texture!) - everything was up to par!
Service was very delicate and attentive, and the whole atmosphere quite nice. I’ll definitely be coming back to explore more of Szechuan cuisine.“

“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.

“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.“

“The prices here are great—very cheap and affordable. However, they don’t accept cash, and the food quality is a bit questionable. I ordered the dumplings, which were quite salty even without soy sauce. The steamed dumplings are 10 for $5, while the fried ones are 7 for $10. Unfortunately, the fried dumplings weren’t crunchy at all. You need a key to access the restroom, and there’s no tip or tax added.“

“These five skewers: arguably the best thing I've eaten in this city for under $15. The highlight are the mushroom / scallops wrapped in bacon, grilled over coals... For $2.50?! Pinch me, I'm dreaming
It's a grungy corner after dark, but right above the Grant St subway station.“

“WOW!!! This was my most favorite restaurant from the time in which I lived in NYC. If you don't mind the sketchy scavenger hunt it'll take to find this place, it is ABSOLUTELY worth a visit.
When I found out how cheap their dumplings were, I knew I had to find the gusto to give this place a try. I eventually found the abandoned (and as an "urban explorer" of abandoned buildings, I do mean ABANDONED) shopping mall in which this place is located. A few sketchy characters stood by the entry door, which reeked of urine. Still, once I was inside it was game on, and into the basement I went. After a few twists and turns I found this place, where a handful of people were already busy eating.
I ordered two plates of dumplings and was so stuffed I could hardly walk. Their steamed dumplings and bao were both delicious, and I could see them being freshly made right in front of me.
The steamed dumplings were so good that I spent $30 for 60 frozen dumplings to take to work for lunch for the week! Those did not disappoint, either.
Again, I repeat, I lived in NYC and this was my most favorite restaurant, not to mention cheaper than even the cheapest hot dog cart, too!!! Forget D1n T@i Fung (which I've also been to, btw)--come here and spend ten bucks on a plate of bao and dumplings instead. They'll be just as much cheaper as they are more delicious.“

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

“A very fun and entertaining meal. Everything was really good - my favorites were the broad chili noodle and mushroom Peking duck. They really like to add a bit of flair with their meal presentation. I do wish that you could eat the mapo tofu rice after it's set on fire - who doesn't love crispy rice? I guess they use some sort of accelerant that makes it inedible.
We overordered because the entire menu sounds really good - the leftovers heated up well. The staff was really attentive and helpful.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Very nice halal option in NYC. Noodles were great 5/5. The lamb with bread was really nice - 4/5. Overall great food, good staff service. Dumpings were a 3/5. Price was decent given the prime location and the food taste. Best halal food I've had in US so far overall. I'd definitely visit again next time I'm in New York!“

“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.“
