Chef Tan in the East Village offers the best Chinese Hunan and Szechuan cuisine. The restaurant provides a great dining experience with a friendly staff and a clean environment. The menu features a variety of flavorful dishes, including duck, squid, potato, and pumpkin soup with short ribs. Customers can enjoy authentic and mostly spicy options, reflecting a Chongqing/Sichuan style. Despite some dishes being a bit pricy, the portions are generous and made to share, making it ideal for groups. The atmosphere features high ceilings and warm decor, enhancing the dining experience. Chef Tan is a solid choice for those seeking slightly elevated Chinese food in Manhattan.
Customers have praised the restaurant's delicious meat entrees, such as the braised pork, fried chicken, and spare ribs, as well as the well-cooked and tasty vegetable dishes, including eggplant and cabbage. The MaPo Tufu is also a standout item. The seating and environment are described as comfortable and nice, and the service is good. However, some customers note that they need to pay for hot tea. The restaurant also offers a good takeout experience through Uber Eats, with customers emphasizing the need to request less oil.
