Love the interiors - I came here January 2024 for my 30th birthday - food was not bad but not top notch either. I loved the theme of this restaurant.

This place is all about quality. Every ingredient tasted fresh and made to order, and the chefs truly know what they are doing. Service was excellent, the ambiance is gorgeous and cozy, and the mocktails were on point.
Must-orders: oysters, shrimp dumplings, lobster noodles (star of the show), and malasadas.
I really appreciate our waitress going above and beyond by offering to remove the lobster meat for us. Thank you Sofia!
It can get a bit loud from 5–7 PM with the after work crowd, but it’s still absolutely worth it. 10/10. Add this to your list.

Used to be a great date spot, now the place is mad bougie and overpriced, finally caught Manhattan Syndrome.

I have travelled the world extensively over 40 years. I ate at all restaurants ranging from pop & mom’s to Michelin three stars. This is my honest review of the restaurant Macao Trading Company in NYC, USA.
A Chinese-inspired fusion restaurant drawing on the multicultural history of Macau, once a crossroads of Asian and Western influences. The concept explains the eclectic menu, ranging from Chinese classics to more Western-style dishes.
We tried the pork dumplings, which were good though a bit lacking in subtle seasoning, and the porterhouse steak, surprisingly well executed for a non-steakhouse — nicely seasoned and cooked, with decent meat quality. The interior is elegant and artistic, with a dark, moody ambiance, and service was reasonably efficient.
It feels like a place that may have lost a touch of its former glamour, yet still remains a solid dining option if you’re in the area. The restaurant was rather quiet during our visit, which perhaps says something about its current stage — but it’s still worth considering for dinner, as long as you keep expectations measured.

What an awesome spot! Came with a party of 12. Started at the bar for happy hour drinks and several dozen oysters and a bunch of calamari (all of which were the bomb). The bartenders were on point! A bunch of folks did the dreaded “I don’t know what I want,” and the bartenders talked to them and came up with cocktails that were a hit. Real pros, but super chill with no attitude and super attentive service. Which is how I would summarize the entire experience. The apps were killer. My veggie friends raved over the mushrooms, dumplings, and eggplant. Ribs were awesome. I loved the charred octopus. Mains kept the party going. Everyone raved about the lobster noodles. I thought the minced pork glass noodle dish was awesome. The steamed fish was great too. The head waiter rocked. Don’elle (did I spell that right), the manager, went above and beyond. Seriously — thank you guys for a killer night! -Dima

I had 10 friends for my birthday dinner this past weekend and I was impressed with the food, service and hospitality. Our waitress (I wish I got her name) was very sweet and attentive. The pre-fix was delish, no misses - my favorites were the short ribs, dumplings and malasadas. Will for sure come back!

My friends and I wanted to get something to eat it was a last minute plan and stumbled upon on this place right by Canal street. As soon as we reached we read the menu to see what we we wanted to get. The security guard was very rude. Instead of greeting us he asked us what are we doing and we told him we’re reading the menu. He continued to have an attitude , very progressive . My friends and I wanted to spend our money her but unfortunately did not.

Lovely service and good atmosphere. Lobster pasta is good as was the tuna tartare starter.

This place earns absolute approval. This place has me planning regular returns to try everything. The staff goes the extra mile to help and makes you feel at home, in a restaurant with nice people. Macao Trading Company! You showed what restaurants should aspire to. This spot was excellent; returning soon :)

The decore is phenomenal with a lot of quality furniture. The menu and service, top of the line. I have been here several times now and Diego and Dino have provided nothing short but amazing service every time. The cocktail balance and selection is great, with a large variety from sweet to savory, there's something for everyone. The food was cooked perfectly as always, highly recommended the mussels and dumplings! Must visit bar of lower Manhattan
