“This is the best sushi place in LIC. when you walk in the workers and chefs are welcoming, attentive and super friendly. The miso soup tastes fresh and coconut curry was great! The salmon lovers sushi and sashimi was delicious ad so were the specialty rolls! will eat again!!“

“Highly recommended!! We had a wonderful experience here! Such an excellent dining experience—beautifully cooked dishes made with fresh, flavorful ingredients. The space is charming yet refined, ideal for an intimate date night or an elegant family gathering. Service was warm, polished, and attentive throughout. !“

“I LOVE all of the vegan options here, this is one of my go-to places. I also ask for certain customisations and they're always accommodating. Definitely recommending to friends! My favorites are the baby bok choy, broccoli, and rice cake dish.“

“Good food and a nice atmosphere. I do wish the Szechuan food was a little more spicy, but the dishes we got, like Shrimp with silken tofu, Szechuan fish fillet with tofu, Dan Dan noodles, and Green Beans was very good. Prices are a little high and portions were small compared to Flushing, but the difference was not extravagant, and for three people we were able to be full for about $90 pre-tip, which is respectable.“

“Authentic Cantonese cuisine. I was brought up in Guangzhou and these dishes here are the same delicious as the ones I had back in Guangzhou.“

“Hey Yuet, don't make it bad
Take a sad Zhong and make him better
Remember that Har Gao’s good for your heart
You know that shrimp will make it better

Hey Yuet, don't be afraid
To make Lo Mai Gai with fresh chopped ginger
The minute you serve us crispy pork skin
Then you begin to make it better

And anytime you feel the strain, Hey Yuet, refrain
Don't carry bad reviews on your shoulders
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By serving Choy Sum when it’s colder

Hey Yuet, don't let me down
Don’t douse beef tripe with too much vinegar
Remember to fill up foods on your cart
Then you can start to make it better

So let ‘em out and let ‘em in, Hey Yuet, begin
You're waiting for tables to open
And don't you know that it's just you, Hey Yuet, you'll do
Cause our love for Dim Sum has awoken

Na na na, na na na na
na na na na
Hey Yuet“

“Delicious food! Everything was very fresh.“

“Tasty food with superb prices as well as attentive, friendly service. delectable soup dumplings with juicy tender meat wrapped in a chewy doughy wrapper are so appetizing.... I also love the location of the restaurant.“

“I ordered lotus root, mapo tofu, and white rice. The lotus was sweet with no other perceptible flavor and was undercooked. The white rice was overcooked and clumpy with little grain definition. The mapo tofu has a good balance of umami, numbing, and heat. It was a little too saucy, but overall a perfectly fine mapo tofu.“

“Really shockingly good Sichuan food. The mala flavor was really delightful, it was really pleasantly numbing and incredibly flavorful. We got the dry pot baby rib and kung pao chicken lunch specials and both were quite excellent. The kung pao chicken really stood out to me as being particularly flavorful and nicely spiced. The interior of the resturant was also gorgeous and not too busy during lunch hours.“

“Antidote was such a great spot to have dinner on my visit to NYC. The wait was not too long considering there were 7 people in my party. We had so many items off the menu and the staff was very attentive to allergies and other food preferences. The tea smocked duck was incredible, the cucumber was amazing, the wontons were delicious! Everyone loved their dish it was absolutely a great dinner. The only downside was that some of the fish dishes were made with tilapia which is not a fish preference for most of the friends I was with. I will definitely be back and I highly recommend this restaurant“

“Got the brand sampler. A meal for $19.60.
Here’s what I thought of each item
Har gow / shrimp siu mai - 3/5, hard to get wrong, just didn’t love it, even with the soy sauce.
Chicken siu mai - 5/5, was my favorite
Sticky rice wrap - 1/5, mushroom and sticky rice was not my favorite
BBQ pork bun - 1/5, wasn’t my thing
Crispy shrimp roll - 4/5, pretty good“

“This spot isn't in guidebooks yet. Employees are remarkably kind and accommodating, serving food rapidly. They serve excellent food at fair rates. The food quality showed in our completely empty plates. This spot provides a good environment.“

“Had higher than normal expectations for this eatery given the high rating, and was not disappointed at all.

Pork over rice - amazing marinade and butter soft smoky tender meat. Maybe the best pork I’ve had in Manhattan. Five stars. The two diners at the neighboring table also had this.

Tonkotsu ramen - favorful. Loved the thin shredded gyu-style beef which was tender. Noodles were great.

Miso ramen - okay. Preferred the tonkotsu.

Dan dan noodles - okay.

Looks more like a takeout place than a restaurant, but there is table service. Waitstaff were quiet but helpful.

Prices were very reasonable considering it’s near Bryant Park / Time Square.

Not crowded on a Friday night.

I would definitely return!“

“If you want to sit in a very crowded place, this is the place to go. The food was fine. They messed up our order and acted like they were upset that we said anything but the food is good.“

“The place takes you back in time. The food is very authentic. I discovered this place years ago by chance. Some Canadians were walking out from it and I asked how was the food. They said best Chinese food. The first place they dine at when visiting New York. My daughter and I tried it and truly enjoyed it. Every time I visited her in NY we made it a point to eat there at least once.“

“😍My very first time here. I was served by Jason, food captain. I guess I was spoiled by his hospitality because I tell you, WHEN I return, if I not being served by him, I'm not going. Every now and again you come across a server who truly enjoys making people fell comfortable, that's Jason, in a nutshell. The food was extraordinary, complimented by spectacular recommendations and hospitality!!!!“

“The food is consistently delicious and is always fresh but the portions are small“

“good Chinese food“

“The wait isn’t bad, the food is banging and cheap, don’t stand around in the line unless you know what you’re waiting for is the one tip I’ll give, people just stand around without seeing which line they’re in. You can walk right up to the counter if you’ve got cash. Get a few buns to go for later. The shu mai was ok seemed like it had been sitting a while.“

“All day dim sum & Cantonese cuisine. 🥡🥢“

“Food was great, black truffle soup dumplings were bomb. Plus, it's super close to 1st and 14th so, it's a change of pace from all the empanadas I've eaten from the other place close by. The only thing I would like is a table if I wanted to invite a friend to partake in the food. But, for a quick bite before work?

It's perfect.

I'm gonna try to order ahead of time in the future to see how good is their to go food. No beers... 🥺

(5 dumplings for the soup dumplings order, I ate one for the review😋)“

“Food, service & atmosphere was top notch. Highly recommend! 5⭐️“

“Authentic Cantonese cuisine. I was brought up in Guangzhou and these dishes here are the same delicious as the ones I had back in Guangzhou.“

“Food and service is amazing!“

“Fan Szechuan Restaurant & Bar is a fantastic find on the Lower East Side! Authentic, bold Szechuan flavors in a sleek, modern space with great service.🔥

The sweet and sour crispy jumbo prawns are my absolute favorite — huge, perfectly crunchy, succulent, and tossed in the most addictive tangy-sweet sauce. Could eat them every visit!❤️

Other dishes we tried were spot-on, spicy and flavorful. Attentive staff and cool bar vibe too. Definitely coming back. Highly recommend! 🌶️🍤“

“I love your general tso's chicken but the previous was much better. After you guys closed and reopened this week, the recipe for your general tso's chicken changed. I order it several times a week and am a bit disappointed. Did the chef change? Is it possible to go back to the old recipe? Old recipe: 9.5/10 New recipe: 7/10 Please go back!“

“The flavor of this restaurant is actually not that far from what I had in China, and it's fairly authentic.“

“We stopped by Dim Sum Chelsea on a cold and wet day to get a snack and take a break after a lot of walking around. The restaurant was fairly slow and service was very attentive and friendly. We just wanted a nibble so we only tried the Lotus Rice and the Crab and Spinach dumplings paired with a shared bottle of hot sake. The food was hot and flavorful, the crab and spinach dumplings were juicy but my favorite was the lotus rice that was stuffed with a seasoned meat mixture. I only recently discovered this dish and now its a favorite! I would love to come back to try more dumplings if I'm ever back in the area.“

“Food is excellent! Service is great.“

“Great experience, great food, great hospitality“

“Wonderful food, friendly and helpful staff, great atmosphere and location. The best soup dumplings I’ve had in Manhattan.“

“DAO Dim Sum & Chinese Cuisine delivers exactly what you want when you are craving authentic dim sum in New York. It checks every box.

The dim sum was excellent. Fresh, well prepared, and full of flavor. Each dish came out hot and properly timed. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in consistency and quality.

The wonton soup was equally strong. Clean, balanced broth with well-made wontons and great texture. Comforting without being heavy.

Service was fast and courteous. The staff was attentive, efficient, and genuinely pleasant. Food arrived quickly without feeling rushed.

The pricing is very reasonable, especially given the quality and portion sizes. Strong value across the board.

If you are looking for reliable, well-executed dim sum in New York, DAO is a solid choice. Professional operation, good people, great food. Five stars.“

“Tried this place for the first time recently, and was impressed. Portions were just right. Good variety of items,and they were delicious!“

“Great dinner for my family tonight at this gem - just five minutes walk from Grand Central station. Unpretentious, authentic dim sum and excellent main dishes with rice, noodles, vegetables and more. The desserts were amazing - especially the black sesame balls and the mochi. Very good service and ambience here - light and bright, wood throughout. Would definitely return.“

“Oh man this steamed rice rolls where somebody and chewy and just flavor a bunch of flavor.“

“amazing authentic chinese food“

“The food is very good at this place A very quick easy meal“

“What a cutie vibey spot! If you’re looking for super authentic Chinese food, this probably isn’t the move but that doesn’t mean the food isn’t delicious!
We booked for a girls dinner and they knew their audience. Great moody lighting, a destiny’s child playlist, cozy booths, and lots of shareable options.

The staff was incredibly warm and playful too. Nico, the GM, was putting in the work. We saw him visiting every table and charmed the whole dining room. He even sent a complimentary dessert to our table.

Looking forward to going back!“

“Good food at a decent price in a well-lit restaurant. Very happy with my meal.“

“Great food, everything it’s delicious !!!“

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

“So happy to have stumbled onto this spot! Food is delicious, well priced, and comes out fast! We were served by an adorable older Asian gentleman 🙏🏼

Loved the classic and pan fried soup dumplings, hot pot style fish fillets, and roast pork buns“

“The food is consistently fresh and tasty. So happy to have an excellent Szechwan restaurant in a neighborhood where good Chinese cuisine is sorely lacking.“

“Delicious dim sum and pan fried flounder!“

“Highly recommend this place. It was delicious food ,Awesome Service definitely will be going back. 🙃“

“Great service, food, and thoughtful cocktails. What more can you ask for in FiDi?“

“I am obsessed with sichuan food, and found this place to be delicious! I was dining solo, so I was only able to try one dish, but the dry pot chicken was phenomenal. Juicy chicken, tasty vegetables, and strong-but-not-overwhelming spice. You will not regret a visit here.“

“The food is great. We ordered wild yellow croaker and duck stew with sticky rice ball as dessert. The taste has no problem but the portion is small compared to the price. Two sticky rice balls for 14 dollars. The good point is that the jasmine rice is free.“
