50 Best Chinese Restaurants in New York

“Great oyster mushroom and rice rolls“

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

“This place is worth stopping by if you want to get something quick to eat on the go for less than $5! The curry fish ball rice roll and pork skin are great. There’s a nice flavor that’s slightly sweet yet savory. The owners are also very friendly and knowledgeable.“

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

“Chi Restaurant & Bar is incredible! We came in with a large party and they accommodated us perfectly, which meant we got to try almost everything on the menu. The food tasted totally authentic, yet somehow still fresh and fun. Seriously, it felt like every single dish we ordered topped the last one! The duck was absolutely fantastic, and the dim sum and veggies were just as amazing. Whatever you do, definitely don’t skip out on the cute desserts at the end. It's an awesome spot for a group dinner with top-tier food.“

“Great experience, great food, great hospitality“

“Had a fantastic first experience at Corner Chinese!“

“A calm and pleasant spot for lunch.

I came during the afternoon and the place was quiet.
The staff was very friendly and even asked how the meal was at the end.
Note: It’s self-service.

Food: The hand-pulled noodles and broth were fresh and excellent.
The fried side dish was crispy and flavorful.
Drink: The iced black tea with mango was light and very refreshing.
Tip: As you can see in the video - the portions are very generous.
I recommend ordering a small size because I couldn’t finish it.

Seating: I sat by the window facing the street. It was nice to eat and watch Broadway at the same time.
There’s also an inner bar table closer to the kitchen.
The place is clean and the surrounding area feels calm and safe.

Price: Very affordable and filling.
This was my first time trying authentic Chinese food and I was pleasantly surprised.
Highly recommend and worth saving for a real local meal.“

“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!“

“#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“

“Have been here a few times, most recently yesterday. The food is excellent (baos, steamed dumplings, fried dumplings) but I think a lot of the folks who come here do so as much for the “novelty” aspect (“we ate at this weird Chinese restaurant in the basement of an abandoned mall”), as for the food! I usually visit Chinatown by taking the B train to Grand Street, & to reach Fu Zhou Wei Zhong Wei Jia Xiang Feng Wei walk east on Grand Street to Forsyth Street & then walk south on Forsyth to Division Street, passing the street/pavement vendors. You enter the building through the side door just after the Forsyth/Division intersection, wonder about the slightly funky smell :), and walk straight ahead to the stairs that take you to the basement, turn right, and right again to reach the place at the end of the hallway. You order at the window at the left. It’s primarily a wholesale business that supples other restaurants but for retail customers the choices are what I mentioned. There is plenty of seating now but I believe a while back seating was limited. It’s very much a down to earth no frills place, it helps to understand this so your overall experience is good. I like the dumplings, either steamed or fried, I am not a huge bao fan. The place is very well known now, thanks to YouTube videos and TikTok posts.“

“Came here with a friend and we went a bit overboard, ordering 6 items. For the portion sizes and quality in NYC, this is a solid deal.
Steamed Pot Chicken Soup: The star of the show. Clear, incredibly savory broth. It comes with a bowl of rice, making it perfect for a cold day.
Pu'er Chili Beef Tripe & Pu'er Chili Ox Aorta: These two were the ultimate rice killers. The tea-infused chili oil is fragrant and spicy, and both the tripe and aorta had a perfect crunch.
Smoked Pork Slices (Neck): Great char and flavor. The meat was tender with that signature neck crunch, and the dipping sauce was excellent.
Dai Style Green Papaya Salad w. Shrimp: A much-needed palate cleanser. Fresh, tangy, and the shrimp were decently sized.“

“Hospitality AAA FOOD AA PRICE A“

“The pineapple pork bun at Mei Lai Wah is an absolute masterclass in contrasting textures and unapologetic flavors.
It is a heavy, comforting contradiction a hot, savory meat filling locked inside a sugary, crisp pastry shell. Because both the cookie crust and the barbecue glaze lean heavily into sugar, it is an intense flavor bomb. It can feel incredibly rich or even one-note after a while, but when you catch one fresh and steaming straight out of the oven, it is the ultimate sweet-and-savory comfort food.“

“Shrimp with crispy peppers and peanuts and pork cooked in soy sauce with egg“

“Fresh and homemade Chinese food. An amazing cheff, cooking with passion and love. Highly recommended 💯“

“Was pretty excited to see this place right next to my hotel. Ate twice before I left back home. 🍜 ramen was amazing“

“Delicious food and great service. First time I went I ordered the salted egg yolk lobster and crunchy pork ribs (10/10 would recommend both). Second time the service was great and I chatted with Su who was very friendly and she gave me a lot of recommendations for other spots to check out in NYC. This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in Manhattan right now!“

“Good food with a price you cannot beat.“

“Got to enjoy the exceptional tasting menu just two days after they opened. The inventiveness at work here is matched by the execution. While the cuisine is much different, the sheer delight of it reminded me of my first time years ago at Charlie Trotter's. We went back the next day just to sit at the bar after a show and enjoy the unusual, and unusually good, wine-based cocktails.

July 2026 update: We recently returned and once again enjoyed an exceptional meal via their tasting menu.“

“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.“

“By Antidote was an absolute treat! We got the Century Egg w/ Burrata Cheese, Tea-Smoked Duck Fried Rice, Crab Tofu, Crab & Pork Soup Dumplings, Green Peppercorn Fish Stew, Mapo Tofu, and Spicy Cumin Lamb.

The first three were easily my favorite dishes, although I feel like the Crab Tofu could use a bit more flavor. The Green Peppercorn Fish Stew was yum but not amazing in my opinion. The Mapo Tofu and Spicy Cumin Lamb were tasty but definitely way too spicy for me lol.

This spot is a must-go for great Chinese fusion cuisine.“

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

“Really enjoyed this place! The restaurant is very clean, the food is delicious, and the prices are quite reasonable. The noodles are especially authentic and taste just like the real thing. Great quality for the price, and definitely a place I’d come back to!“

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

“I used Trip Advisor to get me here and everything reviewers had said was true. Authentic Sichuan food and, for a person like myself, dining solo, a great appetizer menu. I was happy to take the server’s recommendations and they were right. And for midtown Manhattan it was reasonably priced.

Delicious“

“After years, congee village is still the best restaurant in the Chinatown area. Authentic and made-to-order food, very large portion (and relatively clean comparing to other Chinatown restaurants) You can tell dishes are made in house with top tier ingredients.

We don’t come here often, like twice pee year but since 10 years ago while the taste is consistent over years.“

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

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

“Great dinner, great setting, excellent service 👌“

“I great food and service. High quality land authentic.“

“The restaurant was bustling when I got to the restaurant at 9pm which was a great sign. The place is an upscaled Chinese restaurant but still maintain the casual vibe with great Chinese decor. I got the chilled tofu, chili wonton, and chili crab noodles. The restaurant was gracious enough to also gifted me the snow pea shoots and the mango pudding as a palette cleanser. Chilled tofu was interesting, especially with the crunchy veggies and the creamy sesame-soymilk foam, very light but also flavourful at the same time. The chili wonton was surprising actually spicy which is a welcome surprise. The chili crab noodle was very tasty. The noodle was not overcooked and you can see pieces of crab meat in the dish. The mango pudding was great to end the night with, not too sweet and very refreshing. Overall highly recommended. The price of the dish was what I expected for New York but definitely a sharing portion size since I ended up with lots to take home.“

“We had such an amazing dinner here!
Thanks to the servers and the chefs on Aug 27
The food was delicious- you should probably get the dim sum platter, lo mein is perfect as well
The place itself has nice indoor zone and it’s easy to talk there“

“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.“

“$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 ate some overpriced spaghetti that costed me $39 last night, so I had to come over to this place today to wash it all down with the spicy roujiamo and cold noodles. Needless to say the food is delicious. The food was served quick. Their home made haw berry hibiscus tea is also great and not pumped with American level of sugar. This restaurant really felt like my sanctuary after all the suffering I have experienced.“

“my new favorite restaurant in all of nyc, have been here three times in one week! great flavor, excellent flavor, good portions and 100% halal. there’s a little prayer area in the back as well! love the hand rolled noodles, flour noodles, anything with the beef and cumin lamb, and the cucumbers.“

“Wow. Noodles were the absolute star.
The hand ripped noodles for the beef noodle was very chewy and thick and the beef was very tender and flavorful.
Mid spicy was a little spicy for the stir fried liang PI noodles for my taste.

Overall, very affordable, filling and yummy noodles!“

“Blue Blossom is excellent for a pre or post Broadway show dinner! We truly enjoyed our dining experience as the staff was very hospitable and the food was delicious! We started with the Signature Bao Platter, which is a sampler of 6 soup dumplings. I really liked them all. For our main, we ordered the Signature Salted Baked Chicken + Hot Stone Braised Rice, which are the perfect pairing! This is true comfort food, in the best way. It felt like a warm hug. The chicken was so flavorful and juicy. Make sure to top it with the ginger oil they provide. The hot stone rice was smoky with just a faint spicy heat. I loved mixing the chicken with the rice & topping it with the ginger oil. The only thing we did not enjoy was the Martini that we ordered.“

“Everything is good“

“Very good well done food.“

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

“Outstanding.“

“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 got the triple schewan rice and noodles mix and vegetable manchurian gravy, both were delicious! It satisfied our indo-chinese cravings!
The service was prompt and ambience is good!
The only minus is the quantity of dishes which is pretty less for the price we pay.“

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

“My girlfriend and I came here to celebrate a special occasion. They have a good happy hour and the service was fantastic. They are super friendly and attentive. The fried rice is awesome and the general tso’s chicken was delicious, with portions so big that we took home leftovers. If I could recommend one thing it would be the fried dumplings appetizer, best I’ve ever had in NYC. We will be back soon!“

“The fish was tender and flavorful, and the green pepper sauce had a nice kick without being overwhelming. The Mao Xue Wang was also tasty and had plenty of ingredients. Overall, a great spot if you’re craving Sichuan-style fish and spicy dishes. Would definitely come back!“

“We had such a great meal at Pig Heaven! The BBQ spare ribs were so tender, flavorful, and perfectly glazed. We also really enjoyed the soup dumplings, Peking duck, Sesame chicken, noodles, and Mapo tofu. Everything came in generous portions and was great for sharing. The staff was friendly and welcoming too. Definitely a great Chinese spot on the Upper East Side. We’d love to come back!“
