“Been ordering Chinese food here for at least 18 years. They have been a staple at birthday parties/family events, and a comfort to me on low days when I wanna be cozy. It’s always hot and fresh and fast! It’s great for a really inexpensive lunch too!
My top choices~
Shrimp and broccoli white sauce
Beef and broccoli
Vegetable lo mein
Shrimp spring roll“

“Every time I eat here, it takes me back to when I was growing up. They started as a rice roll cart on Grand Street, and they've perfectly preserved that authentic street-cart taste.
The steamed rice rolls with curry fish balls are soft, chewy, and perfectly sauced with hot sauce and extra peanut sauce. Grab an iced Hong Kong milk tea to go with it.
Highly recommend for a true taste of old-school Chinatown!“

“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!“

“The food was BUSSS!!! The steamed buns are some of the best you could get anywhere if you can only taste one thing that should definitely be your choice. The dumplings are also super good and everything is so cheap. Only issue is the dirtiness in the mall but I feel like it’s part of the experience so no biggie. Definitely a unique super tasty experience.“

“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!“

“We came here to try the iconic pineapple pork bun! It’s pretty good but my partner definitely enjoyed it more than I did. I wish I was in NYC longer to try out everything else on their menu. Everything looked good and reasonably priced.“

“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.“

“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!

“This if for 2 visits. First one was during the week for lunch. The lunch special fish came with cucumbers andspring rolls,the fish was crispy and full of flavor absolutely a must get. The truffle shumai was huge juicy and lots of truffle, the fried rice was delicious and the drinks tasty. Service is 10 out of 10 the lady who works there is so friendly and sweet she constantly checked up on us and talked with everyone at the table that it was so great we made a reservation for mothers day. Mothers day visit was fantastic she was there again to serve us and same fantastic service. Everything we ordered was hot flavorful fresh and worth it. We also got tea for the table which was refilled for us and the date dessert which was a nice ending to a wonderful mean. Definitely check it out they do specials during the week. We were told check the ig page to see them last month Thursday they did all you can drink.“

“Lychee ice was delicious and quite sweet, with a few real lychees in it. The braised lobster with scallions was a bit too salty. The osmanthus vermicelli and egg soup actually had a hint of osmanthus fragrance. The quality of their dishes is relatively consistent.“

“Excellent and authentic Sichuan flavor! We had the dry pot beef and fish filet with pickled vegetable in broth. Both dishes were excellent, the fish was outstanding. There are two options for the fish. The sea bass is live; the other option are from fish that’s already been filleted. We elected for the sea bass which was $6 more. It was well worth it. The chef prepared the fish by taking off the filets. Then he fried the skeleton including the head and tail. That gets added to a broth with bean thread noodles, enoki mushrooms, and house made pickles, which were fresh and tart. Then the filets are added to that with dried and fresh chili and a few lemon slices. Beware of the fresh chili. It will get your attention! The fish dish needs to be mixed so the fish has a chance to absorb the flavors from the pickles, peppers, and broth. The flavor from the fried skeleton also go into the broth with time. This description should have the cognoscenti running to check that dish out. If you’ve never dealt with anything that looks like a whole fish, give this a try. You can ignore the skeleton and stick to the filets. You will not be sorry!“

“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!“

“$3.50 for wheat noodles peanut butter. Awesome taste with freshly prepared
$5.00 Dumplings were good too.
Lines look too long but if moved very fast. If you’re a group try to find a spot to have a dine-in as there is a less spacing inside the restaurant. Bring Cash 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“

“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.“

“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!“

“I live in Queens and visited Jiang’s 4 times already since last year. It is really THAT good. Our go-to are the hand rolled noodles with lamb and the crispy dry chicken. We’ve tried so many other items, but these two are something I miss every once in a while. If only they were closer! The people working there are very kind and the best part of all is that they have a prayer area for Muslims. What else can you ask for?“

“I was there at Jian Nan Syosset, Long Island. Everything went great!! But, those took the orders needed to be more educated to understand each dishes. We were a fairly larger group than standard party size. Some dished were small and some dim sum served with small quantities, like 3 or 4. Those who order for the large group, should give suggestion to order multiple orders for the same dish. So, each one in the group can have at least one.“

“Awesome place but biggest flaw is that they’re not actually open everyday, even if the weather is good. I passed by today at 8pm, weather was perfect and they weren’t there. I wish they had some way of letting people know if they’re not open for whatever reason, even if its just an instagram page of something“

“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.“

“Wow, this was SUCH a great spot. This NYC chain is legendary for a reason.
Beware, if you don’t like spicy food, this isn’t for you. Even on the “less spice” option, we were definitely feeling the heat. The noodles in the Cumin Lamb Noodles were the star of the show - so tender and full of flavor.
The interior is simple and a little small, so I imagine during a lunch rush it could get crowded, but we were there at an off time so there was plenty of room.“

“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.“
