“Service was much faster than I expected, but the food was even better. The pickled okra was delightful, just the right amount of crunch with plenty of garlic, chili's, and green onion. The changing chicken was dry fried with tons of chilies that dish is all protein, no brakes. Save room for the rice wine soup. I know it sounds odd, but was a great end to the meal. Cocktails are also great, but be sure to slow down and enjoy them!“
“We had a WONDERFUL time at Mala Project this week. Our server, Kyle, was extremely helpful in recommending ‘must haves’ for our appetizers, dry pot and, of course, drinks. We planned for only a quick bite to eat, but the atmosphere was so welcoming, we ordered more drinks and hung out for a while. Highly recommend this restaurant!“
“This restaurant is an unforgettable culinary delight! Every dish is brimming with creativity and craftsmanship, allowing diners to sense the chef's respect for ingredients and passion for cooking from the very first bite. Whether it's the classic favorites or innovative creations, there's always something deliciously surprising to discover here. The portions are generous, the service is attentive, and every visit is a feast for the taste buds. I highly recommend it to all food lovers out there - you won't be disappointed!“
“Highly recommend this gem of a place! The dishes are delicious - some top contenders: Chairman’s Pork Belly, Sichuan Wontons (one of the best in NYC), lamb chops, lobster spring rolls, crispy tofu, amongst many other yummy dishes. Definitely try the drinks as well, very unique and tasty. Favorites are the Nightingale and Fallen Angel (pictured).“
“Very authentic Chinese food ? I thought the prices were very reasonable, my friend and I ordered the sliced beef in chili oil and, the crab meat soup dumpling and two rice, and we left very satisfied - although some dishes on the menu can be much more expensive than what we ordered. The place is a bit cramped but that's to be expected for east village. The wait can get long also, so try to come a bit before the usual dinner time (6 ish pm on a weekday)I cannot wait to come back and try other dishes!“
“We had a wonderful event at For U, the food is absolutely delicious, I keep thinking about the cucumber salad it’s so crunchy and tastes so good, the sesame noodles are flavorful and so good, delicate and delicious version of that dish, the best I have ever had. And the Peking duck is divine. It’s a wonderful place for a party, they work with you to make it really special. The atmosphere is very relaxing and the space is warm and beautiful. We had a wonderful time and will go back for dinner very soon.Dietary restrictions: Our event served vegan and vegetarian options as well as standard fare“
“Food is great specially the Spicy Tofu bun and Kung Pao Style Tofu. Service is fantastic, very attentive, kind and got served pretty fast after ordering. Tables and chairs are quite small not comfortable for me. Would reccommed for the food and the service. Prices are decent too for the taste and quantity.“
“Imo the best vegetarian restaurant in the city. Great for celebrations like birthdays and getting together with a large group of friends - lighting / artwork has a cool vibe and they have a great cocktail selection. Personal favorites from the menu include scallion pancake, mapo tofu, dan dan noodle, and the general tso mushroom. Service can be a little slow during peak hours since it's so popular but the staff are very friendly. Highly recommend!“
“Great place for hotpot. Contemporary interior with iPad ordering and food flavors were super authentic. We got the 2 flavor broth - chicken chestnut & normal spicy level. And let me tell ya… the normal spicy level was SPICY. This is coming from a group of Chinese people. We went for my birthday and they had a crew come out with fun signs, birthday music, and dessert with a candle!“
“I went there for lunch with my colleagues, and we liked it there. With $13.99, the lunch menu has one Wantang soup and rice bowl along with a main dish. I would like to go there again because it is close to my office, and I love Sichuan food.“
“Would definitely recommend Café China if you're in Midtown! Ambiance is simple, clean, and open Food was delicious with most dishes worth ordering again. The fish blossom was a hit and definitely had very large portion size for the price you pay Staff was hospitable and provided service whenever needed- They were friendly and courteous throughout our dinner“

“Definitely a five star. The 8 spice toufu melt in your month, almost like cheese filling, crispy skin was just right. Mouth watery chili chicken nicely presented, meat is still kinda warm when it is served, flavor is good. Very authentic and exquisite chinese cuisine. Better than many restaurants in China for sure.“

“I was surprised of bright flavour of Szechuan Gourmet Special Fried Rice because it wasn’t cooked traditionally. It had dried baby fish and baby shrimp. Also, I liked slightly spicy Jellyfish salad. It was crunchy and without seafood flavor.“
“This place was great. I took my mom there and she ordered beef with onions and scallions with an order of pork fried rice. The portions were huge and shareable. I had their brisket soup! It was so delicious! My mom loved her food and so did I! Person serving us was super nice and place was very clean. Great prices too! I want to take my husband and kids soon.“
“Northern Sichuan jelly has a cool red oil flavor.The hand-shredded cabbage pot is very filling! Very appetizing!The twice-cooked pork is very generous, the meat is a little fatter, and the taste is very authentic.Green Sichuan Pepper Diving Fish, not very impressive in appearance, but the seasoning is so good that my lips are numb after eating it.The spicy pepper chicken tastes a bit like spicy chicken, I think it’s delicious!The spicy chicken is very, very tasty, and the taste is very rich, numb and spicy. The little twists inside are a surprise and delicious.The meat of chestnut braised pork should be fried first. It is very fragrant, fat but not greasy. The chestnuts are sweet and the sauce is perfect when mixed with rice.Black truffle cauliflower is a very special dish. The cauliflower is not the type that is cooked in a dry pot. It has a healthier taste and is quite delicious.Rice wine is added to the jelly, which is not very sweet. It can be used to relieve the spiciness, but it is not recommended.The beef in sour soup is super spicy and sour, very delicious.The beef chow mein was a bit salty.Potato beef is completely delicious that you can make at home.The red soup double crisp is okay. If you want to eat yellow throat and beef louver, you can try it.Husband and wife's beef slices are average.“
“When I came to New York, I really wanted to eat Taiwanese food, so I used Uber eats to find this Chinese restaurant and ordered it once on 4/3, 4/4, and 4/6.The food is all very delicious and of a high standard. Maybe because I am Taiwanese, I feel that many dishes tend to be oily. What impressed me most was the stir-fried bean sprouts (vegetarian), which really covered the bottom of the plate with a layer of oil. , it should be oilier than the stir-fried vegetables in Taiwanese hot stir-fry restaurants. It may have been adjusted to suit American tastes, but it is still delicious! The bean sprouts are full of tenderness.Compared with Taiwanese food, a delivery portion can feed 3-4 people without any problem, and the taste and portion are quite sufficient.What I really like is the spicy and sour potato shreds, which are spicy and sour enough. The crispiness of the potato shreds is also very good. In contrast, if I order the hot pepper potato shreds afterwards, it is much inferior. The potato shreds are not crispy enough and have no texture. Highly recommended, if you can tolerate spicy food, I recommend ordering the hot and sour flavor.I have ordered lettuce with scallion oil twice. It tastes good but the portion is small. It can only be served for 1-2 people (I can eat it all by myself). It tastes very good.The family tradition of pickled pork soup is also very delicious. It is a soup that takes time to cook. However, my family felt very thirsty after eating it. The pork belly, sliced and bamboo shoots are very filling, but the texture of the bamboo shoots is not that crispy. .The seafood fried noodles are above the standard, with enough ingredients and moderate seasoning. Since I can’t finish it, I have to refrigerate it to eat the next day. The texture of the noodles is still the same and not too bad.Kelp and winter melon pork ribs soup. The kelp is a bit too big for Taiwanese people, making it inconvenient to eat. The soup is very flavorful, and the flavor of the winter melon is cooked in. The ribs may not be very chewy because they have been stewed for too long.Based on the above, if Taiwanese come to New York and miss Chinese food, they can come here to eat. The taste is not bad and the per capita price is about US$20-30 (in terms of delivery platforms).“
“Dim Sum Chelsea is by far the best restaurant I've ever been to. The food quality is outstanding, with generous portions served promptly. I especially enjoyed the pork soup dumplings, chive and shrimp dumplings, and the Jumbo Shrimp with bean curd. The jumbo shrimp dish, in particular, is a must-try! Additionally, the service is impeccable, with servers who are incredibly friendly and attentive. I highly recommend Dim Sum Chelsea for a fantastic dining experience.“
“Holy cow was this food delicious! But be warned, some dishes pack a punch with the deeply aromatic spices. The flavors may not jive with people looking for typical Americanized Chinese food but it is definitely worth a try. Oh and especially the dumplings in chili oil and the red bean buns for dessert. The service was friendly and prompt!“

“The menu is very clear and concise, shows every main ingredient in each dish.Mongolian ve was cook to perfection and had a great sauce. The portion was great enough with a reasonable price and the taste was overall authentic & delicious. Definitely will come back.“
“Been coming to this place for over 10 years and finally getting around to write a well deserved review. Whether it be their lunch special or dinner menu, they do not disappoint. My favorite is their dry pot dish, braised beef noodle soup, and the sweet and tangy orange beef. The appetizers are excellent as well as the typical Szechuan cuisines. Please do not change the chef and will keep coming back.“
“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“
“Thought the food for the price was just ok. Spicy wontons came 4 to an order and were tiny wontons. Sauce was great..just a small order. Pork lunch was also a very small portion for the price. All in all, we feel this place is good…just not great“
“This place is indeed beyond! This place has been in my wishlist for a while. The price is affordable, the quality is legit and the quantity is also very generous! The cashier is very fun to talk to, he can almost make every customer laugh. He is definitely the genius of customer service!“
“I rarely make YELP reviews but I feel that this place deserves it! I work very close, Rockefeller Center, so I have the pleasure of eating here more often than I'd like lol!! The food is sooooo flavorful. The servers are swift, knowledgeable and nice. Pleaseeeeeee try the beef lo mein! *chefs kiss* I'll update with photos soon!“
“One of the best Sichuan experiences I've had! The place looks nice and has a good variety of dishes. I tried the boiled fish in chillies and the Chongqing chicken, both of which were perfect with the spice,explosive flavours and generous portions. Service is fast! Must try if you're in NYC and looking for Sichuan food.“
“We visited Han Dynasty UWS on Christmas Day for an absolutely fantastic spread. We had a range of starters (the Pork Belly, and Crispy Cucumber were my favourites!), and a few entrees to share (the Hot Sauce Style tofu was a revelation, and the Three Cup Chicken a crowd favourite). One person in our party spent some years living in China, and she was loving every single dish, calling this one of the best Chinese meals she'd had in a long time.We enjoyed our meal at Han Dynasty so much that we ordered takeout a couple of weeks later, which was equally as great! Highly recommended for a slightly more upmarket yet authentic meal!“
“This place was pretty solid for a hotpot skewer place in manhattan, although come in prepared with how to order. I read some reviews on here to see what I should do, and in the end we had a very pleasant meal. If you're dining in, get seated. Each table has its own individual QR code which makes it easy for service to get you appetizers and non hot pot items. Just make sure you're clear on what you want before you add it. Once you hit send for the first round, every subsequent addition will send it to the kitchen. For hot pot there's a whole wall of skewers from .80 c, 1.60 c (some items have two skewers in them) to $5 (metal skewers). There is a minimal sauce station but honestly it was enough for me. The sauce bowls come premixed with dry and oil based sauces and the ingredients are on the wall. You can add a few items like herbs chilis and sauces to them. Pick a base, then give someone a tray of all the skewers you select and then they cook it in the kitchen. Everything here you can add as you go which is nice. Ambiance is very chill, and very comfortable. You're pretty much left alone aside from ordering from your phone or getting more skewers, pretty much self serve. I'd come here again. Lastly, their soup dumplings were surprisingly nice and they come free with any meal over $10. I thought this was a lunch thing so we double ordered xlbs and were actually pretty happy about that. The menu can be a little confusing, I would take each page very literally. We also had the fried pork and smashed cucumbers, pretty solid.“
“It was the first time to tried this restaurant. The food was so tasty. ( I ordered spicy hot pot ) And the staff members are very kind and gave me a good suggestion. Also, I left my phone behind. They kept it in a safe place for me!! Thank you so much!!“
“The family came here for a quick lunch before running some errands. We ordered various dry noodle bowls and a pork sandwich. The noodles were hand pulled and it went well with the sauces. The pork sandwich was delicious, crispy exterior and juicy pork filling. All in all, it was a pretty good lunch and I would return whenever I'm in the area.“
“Ignore the negative reviews and just eat here! My husband and I were blown away with how quickly our food came out and the quality of food. We ordered dan dan noodles in peanut sauce and vinegar, crispy shredded beef, and dry pepper chicken, with a side of white rice and everything was SO good. We have been living in the neighborhood for the past 7 years but usually went to Chinatown for Chinese dinners and we both jokingly said we’ve been fools for doing that when we could have just eaten at Hui. We loved it here and can’t wait to come back and try their walnut shrimp. Oh and their happy hour deal is also a hidden gem.Run, wear your stretchy pants, and have one of the best Chinese meals of your life at Hui!“
“I have been coming to Pig Heaven for years. It’s one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in NYC. Everything I have had here is amazing! While I love their specialties, roast pork spare ribs and roast pork butt, their veggie dishes are equally fantastic.My go-to’s are their wonton soup, soup dumplings, prawns with broccoli, and roast pork fried rice.Service is fantastic! Mandy is “the mayor” she knows everyone and greets one with a warm welcome and attentive care. Everybody loves Mandy, she is the sweetest. Everyone who works here is kind, friendly, and helpful.You know the food is good when you eat a huge meal, but you’re also looking at everyone else’s plates for future inspiration.I’m grateful for Pig Heaven!!“
“Everything was perfect; food service and atmosphere. And less than $15 for a delicious vegetarian lunch! I asked the waiter if they could add some steamed tofu to the veggies, which they did for no additional charge! My friend had a beer, so hers was a bit more.“
“***** FIVE STARS *****OUR NEW PLACE is my place nowFOOD IS SPECTACULARWe had Genl Tso Chkn and (spicy) Hot&Sour Soup & pepper steakThe food was fresh & high qualityThe veggies were perfectly cookedPepper Steak was high quality BeefWe were eating at a restaurant on York for years.... that restaurant quality has gone done. OUR NEW PLACE reminds me of their food years ago.I wd consider this "FAST CASUAL".I thanked Jimmy the host /ownerHe is very inviting& very proud of his restaurant as he should be.I WILL BE BACK (OFTEN)AJ.***** 5 STARS *****“
“If you like good Szechuan, this is the place.The menu is vast and eclectic. I enjoy hot spicy food. Searching the menu I found "griddled shrimp" that's it, no other description. This poc from the post is what I got and I can't stop thinking about the next time. It wasn't the normal heat, it made my mouth tingle not on fire like other things do.When I told the waitresses how I felt about the meal she said that any protein can be substituted for the shrimp.It was one of the best things I've eaten.“
“We love the Tang. It's a slightly more upscale Chinese place that has a slightly more focused menu than the traditional Chinese restaurant. Our favorites are their spicy diced chicken and drunken noodle soup. I took my family here after their flight came in from SF since its close to my place, and they quickly became obsessed with it and insist on coming back every time they're in town. We dine in and get take out regularly.“
“I get takeout from here all the time and think it’s delicious. The MaPo tofu is delicious, as are the soup dumplings. The hot and sour soup isn’t the best, but good enough for when I have a taste for it. I’ve also had tasty dry pot and some other tasty dishes.“
“Have been here about 5 or 6 times and have never had a bad experience. The food is amazing fresh and comes out quick. Love going during happy hour having some drinks and food and the portions are nice size. I recommend trying the house fried rice.“
“Food ranges from average to great. They've got all the basics but my favorite by far is the Sichuan spicy chicken. Crispy, a little spicy, beautifully aromatic. The skin on their dumpling dishes were all a little overcooked. Service is readily available and quick. We had a reservation for a large group on a weeknight and were immediately seated. Restaurant was empty when we arrived (630ish) but was pretty busy by the time we left (8:30ish).“
“We had a delicious meal before the theater. It was recommended by a man walking out with take-out - he said he lives in the neighborhood and gets food from there often. We were not disappointed. Big portions and reasonable prices. Fast service.“
“I enjoyed my meal here after a long day of business meetings. I was by myself though, and it seemed like the restaurant was more accomodating to parties of two or more. At any rate, the food came to my table piping hot, and my mixed cocktail was wonderful. This was right across the street from my hotel, so easy access and then head to my overnight stay. Beef and vegetables were quite good.“
“Stopped here for a meal prior to a Broadway show.Food was very good and servers were professional and polite.I will stop back again when in the neighborhood.I think the interior was undergoing renovations during our visit. If not, they need to clean it up a bit!“
“This is the definition of a neighborhood Chinese family-run establishment. Often busy, quick service and great menu. Nothing too fancy here. It is clean, bright, and lively. I recommend the pan-fried dumplings. The shredded beef with broccoli and white rice is very good too.“
“Excellent Szechuan cuisine prepared by professional staff. This restaurant is the revival of the previous cottage restaurant on Amsterdam Avenue. They are now in their second year at this new location, and the restaurant is very busy every day. All of the dishes are very well prepared and authentic. All of the dumplings are made in house, and all of the food is prepared in house and not brought in frozen The revival of an institution !“
“My favorite item from this restaurant is their Sichuan fish slices that come in spicy soup with lettuce and bean sprouts on the bottom. It warms your belly and pairs perfectly with white rice. The inside has a lot of space and was relatively spacious at night. We also ordered a side of the chilled chicken slices and it was amazing. It was my first time trying something like this and the peanut butter sauce and sesame seeds worked so well.“
“10/10!!!!!!!! I ordered out because I'm feeling under the weather. But upon entrance they greeted me with smiles and kindness and were super understanding when realizing that I had no voice lol. (I'm sick as hell ya'll) So I showed them my order number and name and they said no problem, feel better and handed me THEEEE most delicious food EVER. Let's start off with the steamed pork dumplings. Dumplings pon dumplings, dumplings galore. My god the portion was perfect for my sick hungry self. They were delicious. Then the shrimp Lo Mein?!!! Usually when you go places they give you like 4 damn shrimp. THEY HAD ENDLESS SHRIMP!!!!!! The noodles weren't dry, the seasoning was on point. The portion was also perfect. I literally cannot wait to go back to try more things on the menu!!! Thank you so much for an unforgettable experience. Next time, when I'm feeling well, I look forward to dining in because the ambiance was quiet, clean, and relaxing. I'll be back after these antibiotics kick in ya'll!“
“The food is excellent. We often have trouble deciding what to have since all the food is so good. The service is wonderful. The waitstaff are super friendly and thoughtful. They never rush us and do a good job of pacing the courses. Totally recommend.“
“An excellent restaurant for many reasons. 1) Lovely setting, atmosphere and staff2) Really reasonable prices for the quality of the food on order and the popularity of the place3) The food was just exceptionally executed. They’ve taken authentic Sichuan Cuisine and elevated it, cleaned up some of the unrefined flavours and delivered it.The best dish was the Pickled Fish, they’ve kept the sourness to a good level and made the fish the star of the show in stead of the swimming pickles.Top mentions to the Deep-fried shredded eel (not seen this on a menu before) and it was a great “snack dish”. The sesame balls dessert was a really good surprise, the sesame paste was smooth and not overpowering at all (like it normally is). The chicken & lotus root dish was very well executed, soft chicken and I liked that they kept the bones to a minimum (often it can be more bone than meat).Average dishes were the shredded potato, sweet & sour pork and pork cold dish. All them were well done but of the standard I’d normally get in China.“
