50 Best Chinese Restaurants in New York

“Great oyster mushroom and rice rolls“

“very authentic Chinese restaurant. like the decor. service is 👍“

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

“Great food great service. Nice price“

“Some of the best hospitality I’ve experienced in New York. I checked in for my reservation and the waitress Dani noticed that I had lost my voice. She offered complimentary tea and ginger as soon as I sat down, so thoughtful and personal. The food and ambiance was also great, but the service is what sets this place apart.“

“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!“

“I came here for a friend's birthday dinner and we had an amazing time. The interior of the restaurant is spacious and I love the cozy but very Chinese decor. Our waitress was so nice, easy to talk to, and fun. The service was really quick.

We ordered hot and sour soup, peking pork, string beans, honey walnut shrimp, beef chow fun, short ribs, beef stew and radish casserole, and salted fish and eggplant casserole. Everything was delicious. My favorites were their peking pork, string bean, and casserole dishes. The honey walnut shrimp was good but the portions were okay for a group of 9. The beef chow fun was a great portion but I wish there was more flavor. Loved the short rib. They gave us complimentary watermelon at the end, as well as birthday flan for my friends and I. Had a great time and I think this is the perfect spot for some casual Chinese food with a big group of people (We got 10 dishes and the total ended up being only $240, post-tax for a group of 9! We all left STUFFED).“

“Yingtao is an awesome spot! The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made — every dish tastes authentic and perfectly balanced. The staff are super friendly and make you feel right at home, and the atmosphere is cozy but modern. Everything from the dumplings to the noodles was spot-on. Definitely one of my new favorite places to eat! 🥢🍜✨“

“Great experience, great food, great hospitality“

“Gotta be the best Carrot Dish ever! JP helped us pair the wine. Riesling with Carrot, of course. Great evening with inventive cuisine. One surprise after the next. Lobster dish was the highlight of the evening.“

“Such a hospitable team!! We walked in without a reservation and were told they had a spot for us but had a reservation coming in 30 mins. They immediately made us feel welcome and even made us feel comfortable and confident we could order a few plates of food in that time. We ordered three plates that all came out quickly with enough time for us to enjoy. Every plate was uniquely Lei, perfectly balanced and seasoned.
It was a quick visit but I’m already looking forward to my return“

“Had a fantastic first experience at Corner Chinese!“

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

“This is an absolute local experience. It has 3 bar seats and a loud friendly funny guy taking orders. I came here for the congee which was basic but so flavorful and homey. I got the noodles which they are known for and they were outstanding! Chewy, umami and not the prettiest dish. I’ll sacrifice looks for flavor any day! I works say you must be a Sami brave eager to try it but it’s a place I’ll definitely crave in the future!“

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

“You get honest value for your dining dollars. The meals here taste great, cost less than most places and the employees are nice. Service is good, no complaints at all. The flavors here are noteworthy. This spot makes social dining enjoyable with quality options.“

“Considering all the Chinese restaurant restaurants in Manhattan's Chinatown, Yin Ji Chang Fen certainly must rank among the best.“

“Great dinner, great setting, excellent service 👌“

“#豬肉腸加芫荽蔥 豬肉腸➕芫荽蔥係我一向響一記嘅叫法，暫時一記整嘅呢隻味道我已經食得好滿足，我唔需要轉住。😆  #一記 #nyc“

“Every night feels like a weekend rush at this busy spot. Service remains reliably good here. The food tastes great and staff is accommodating. The meals maintained quality, I should mention. Recently becoming a local, I'm grateful to have this place nearby.“

“I unfortunately get the hype…

The outer layer of the pineapple bun is super buttery and crispy and the the bun itself is soft and fluffy. The pork inside is tender and was sweeter than I expected but it pairs so well with the little saltiness on the pineapple bun crust.

Super addicting, super delicious! Great for a quick bite when in Chinatown!“

“The noodles are amazing, and every dish is customizable. I love the scallion ginger, but I've had other flavors too. I ALWAYS get the seitan, it is so good! I think they make the seitan in house, there's something unique about the texture.“

“my daughter in law were in Manhattan for the day and we stopped in for lunch...it was a great experience from start to finish...I ordered the bass with hot bean sauce...it was Perfect! everyone was very polite and attentive, will definitely come back again...nice job gentlemen“

“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.“

“Chicken, duck, pork, rice and cabbage—oh my. Super tasty. Out does everyone in the zip code. No exaggeration.“

“We found a new Chinatown favorite here… highly recommend! ❤️“

“Truly so good it hurts. I got the Little Pot Rice Noodle and I cried gladly the whole time I ate it. My (even less spice-tolerant) friend went crazy and ordered Schuan Style Spicy Chicken w. Peanut and she loved it. I got her some rice and sweet tea to save her between bites. The cucumber salad is also on the sweet side and a wonderful palate rescue between bites. “I just can’t stop going back for more!” High praise indeed. We’ll be back soon!“

“CASH ONLY and 100% hidden gem and worth all the support. Ambiance is not what makes an establishment worth a 2nd visit for me, the food is. Im sure others have already mentioned this is an out of the way hole in the wall hidden in a basement in Chinatown.. dumplings are very fresh and cheap and also available wholesale as well, 30 for $10 if I remember correctly. I had a an order fried and ate them standing outside on the sidewalk, but these nice people do have a few tables if you'd like to sit down. A very NYC foodie experience if you ask me and I will visit as often as I can! I truly appreciate that at least one of them speaks English. It is apparent that they are hardworking and very attentive to their customers despite their humble setup. I've received substandard service from better places than this, so for all these reasons I will be visiting as often as I can.“

“tried the salty Duck egg fried rice with shrimp and it was full of flavor. must try!“

“Amazing food and great service with reasonable prices“

“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“

“Went to Twilight Lounge yesterday as a group of 4 - we had a great time. When we got in, we immediately noticed the atmosphere - it wasn't too loud, and the decor was nice.

The surpassed our expectations though.

We ordered several things, the cucumber and wood ear appetizers, braised fish, crab and egg tofu, pork belly, bok choy, stir fried potato. I was surprised when all of the dishes were good - when ordering so many dishes usually there's something that's not well seasoned etc.

I enjoyed them all but was surprised by how good the bok choy was - tons of garlic, very flavorful and cooked just right.

The person serving us was also very nice.“

“Hard to find better biang biang noodles. Spicy and with a very good texture that really can't be beat. This location is convenient for the wall street area and was very well kept compared to some other locations. Always amazing food and service though😁“

“Wo Hop is a true NYC classic and absolutely worth the visit. The beef chow fun is amazing, but don’t sleep on the vegetable dishes — the Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce and the green beans with black bean sauce are outstanding. The egg rolls are just right, and the pork fried rice is excellent. Add in the old-school staff who keep things moving with charm, and you’ve got one of the best Chinatown dining experiences around. A legendary spot that always delivers!“

“I went to a lot of restaurants in New York that were much fancier than this cart but this was my favorite food of the day. The cheong fun was gooey and had qq and a decent amount of meat. For $5 for the large, it was such a deal and fed three of us as a snack. I would go back in a heartbeat and order more. Wish we had this in Chinatown in Houston.“

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

“Brilliant. I have eaten at most of the high end restaurants in Manhattan for over 55 years. This is the top of the cake. You will only have a great experience every time. Everything about this eatery is 5 star and only gets more fabulous each time you go.
Ask for Sam the waiter, doesn't get any better“

“best dumplings. phenomenal authentic Chinese dishes. Staff is super knowledgeable and gracious. And the best wine list in the city hands down“

“Ok so I love Din Tai Fung, I’ve been to it in Taiwan. The location here is really beautiful, I like the service and the atmosphere. However, if I were to compare it to Taiwans Din Tai Fung it does fall short of the taste of the noodles and wonton soup 😭 The chocolate xiao long Bao’s were really really good! Better than I expected. The normal xiao long Bao’s are good too but a bit dry on the top. The wonton soup had no taste though. The bok choy was very yummy and the cucumber salad tasted the same as how I remembered it in Taiwan too. But like they do charge more here so I did expect it to be the same or better!“

“The food was super fresh and delicious! Service was great and my husband had one of the most interesting cocktails I’ve ever tasted! Reasonable prices as well.“

“Best First Date Place in NYC 🩷“

“One of the authentic NYC Chinese restaurant off the beaten path .
The lobster noodles was $30+, a great deal. We had the chicken and ang choy veggies. Bill came up to $100 with tip added.
It was a lot more food than we can take.
It was a great spot!“

“10/8/25

We were in the neighborhood for an appointment and decided to stop for lunch.

BBQ Ribs are delicious, most Chinese restaurant makes them but are usually tough but these were tender and so flavorful. I wish they were near home hehehe.

Peking Duck, while it was super crispy outside and tender inside it was not seasoned. Without the hoisin sauce it would have been a waste of money...

Bok Choy with Garlic is delicious, I wish I could make it this good hehehe.

If we are ever in the area we would definitely go back.

Lots of pig related decorations, cute! Hehehe“

“delicious delicious food. best with big groups.

the fried squid was yummy; crispy and salty. the beef cheung fun was bouncy. the har gao and siu mai were delish. along with the other dishes we had, we had a tasty time here.“

“An establishment for the elderly. the entrance is so crowded with junk that it feels like the restaurant is trying to hide itself from the general public. Recently, I’ve been trying to hide less, reach out to people, be optimistic, excited, I ordered way too much food. The eggs over rice was good, the roast pork rice roll ok, I actually liked the coffee, love is easy.“

“A bougier twist on a lot of traditional Chinese dishes. The highlight of the meal was the braised pork belly, so melt in your mouth tender. Also don't miss the cucumber salad appetizer, I thought the flavors were unique and refreshing.“

“It’s always a vibe and the food is consistently amazing even ifs it’s a late night“

“Upon arrival you’re introduced to Grandma’s Home with it’s beautiful and immersive decor honoring Chinese culture. The tableware is intentional as well, where the chopstick rests are carved to represent the 12 different animals from the Chinese zodiac.

Their food is homey yet unique, all the classic dishes you would want with a modern twist. If you like century egg, I recommend that for appetizer. The sauce has a tanginess to it that contrasts the creaminess of the egg. My favorite was their seafood fried rice, each grain cooked to golden perfection. It’s hard to find good fried rice in nyc but they do it brilliantly. The black pepper, pork belly, and salted yolk were good as well. You can’t go wrong with any of the dishes to be honest. Lastly, we finish off our meal with coconut pudding with red bean paste and guava and coconut shaved ice. However, I do believe their dessert changes every so often.

The servers could be slightly faster and more attentive but they make it up with the atmosphere and food.“

“Caught up with a dear friend, wanted to find some place not too loud that we could talk and catch up. We picked the right place, not too loud, the food was great, my friend really liked the drinks. We had a great time. Thank you and we'll ba back again.“

“This authentic and yet upscale hotpot restaurant is fabulous, worth to visit again ( in which, I am returning AGAIN today with a party of 6!) Highly recommend Dolar Shop Manhattan to anyone who loves hot pot because of the following: -Excellent friendly service ( special thanks to Jason's exceptionally wonderful, attentive service, as well as the incredible professional manager Charles ) - Flavorful broth - large variety of food to choose from - high quality meat choice ( fine wagyu beef , USDA PRIME boneless short ribs, as well as fresh seafood ) Fresh and crisp veggies - clean environment“
