Amazing food, awesome atmosphere, a must try if you are in the East Village area. The people who work there are really kind and take great care of you while you're there. I would definitely recommend the Taiwanese popcorn chicken and Signature claypot!

I was visiting NYC and had heard of a claypot place in East Village and figured I had to try it out. I got the signature claypot and found it to be really tasty. The service was quick and the owner and chef were really kind and welcoming. Their popcorn chicken is also incredible and definitely worth trying. Overall the ambience of the place is cozy and I think it's a must try for anyone who is looking for a new restaurant to try! I'll definitely be back the next time I visit NYC.

Tried 3 different claypots, all delicious, especially the Singaporean beef curry. The taiwanese popcorn chicken was the best I've had, will be back soon

I saw the other reviews about good service and delicious food and was excited to try this place out. here's my experience: I walk in to an empty and dead silent restaurant. I said hello to the two men sitting in the back, one younger and one older. I wasn't greeted, and they were staring at me like they were genuinely mad at me. I told them I had an order to pick up. the younger one looks at my phone, looks at the old guy, grabs the food. he hands it off to me and sits back down. so strange! I ordered off of TooGoodToGo, and the food they decided to give me was.. not great. i'm not sure what either of the soups are but they both smell sour. the noodles are gummy, and the protein (chicken? pork? i don't know) is like leather. and there's also tater tots? which are shockingly the only edible part of my grab bag.

My fiancé heard of this spot, and we decided to try it out for the clay pot. In addition to trying the signature claypot, we also got the Taiwanese crispy salted chicken and the Liu Zhou Luosi rice noodle. All in all, the food was really good and filling. I especially enjoyed the crispy chicken - very crunchy and flavorful. The restaurant itself is fairly small, with only a few staff members around when we stopped by. But the decor was nice, and there is a good amount of seating. The ordering process was also very efficient, mostly handled on tablets and via QR codes. This spot is definitely a nice, casual Cantonese restaurant, and would recommend that folks stop by to try it out.

The most amazing place for a rice lover. CRISPY rice and SEASONED meats. If you get takeout they even give you a real spoon and CLAY POT. What more could you ask for. Also the sweetest owner that works there. Loved this place and you will too. Onigiri also slaps btw for a snack.

I love the meat ball onigiri. I tend to eat pescatarian and vegetarian, but do a little meat every now and then. Their onigiri was so beautifully shaped and contained little bits of ham and bacon allowing for a bit of saltiness. Full disclosure: I got the onigiri in a Too Good to Go bag, but they were quite good! The Hong Kong milk tea was also great. So comforting on a cold winters night.
Great food. I ate the signature rice clay pot with shrimp and beef. Large portion sizes. The Taiwanese popcorn chicken was also very good. Will come back in the future for their riceballs for a snack!
I was really surprised to get a real clay pot and spoon for my takeout. I got the eel rice and it was pretty good. The sauces it came with was also a nice addition. Pleasantly surprised by this new spot on 9th. Had to wait around 25 min but was worth it.

Got the eel clay pot, absolute fire. Mix of the tender and crispy rice was sick. Would definitely recommend.
