Amazing menu. The spicy lamb ribs was our favorite. The hot and sour mushroom was such a clever combination of Chinese vegetables for their innate texture and flavors. The black pepper prawns had my favorite seasoning however the prawns themselves had too much salt. Also love the German focused wine list. Had a bottle of Sylvaner which apparently was the #1 grape in Germany a century ago. Dry, acidic and saline. Great reco from Mike the co-owner. Thanks for the amaro!

We went to porcelain for a pre-valentine dinner and had a great experience. The menu is updated seasonally and most of their dishes are meant to be shared. We ordered the hot and sour potatoes, branzino and half chicken and it was a lot of food for two. Our waitress also recommended a bottle of Riesling that paired with the food we ordered and it was a great choice. Lot of great and unique flavors, definitely would recommend.

Porcelain had a dark and interesting atmosphere. We arrived, we were one of only three tables seated. The server was friendly and explained how their menu worked. We ended up ordering 5 small plates and 2 large plates to share. The server said we would probably have some food left over, but i guess we were ravenous since we finished everything with room to spare. The Hot and Sour Potatoes, Black Pepper Prawns, Steamed Egg, Double Cooked Pork Jowl, and Kimchi-Brined Fried Half Chicken were hits at the table. We felt like the Charred Bok Choy was pretty mid. The recommended Steamed Whole Branzino was a big miss for us.

Porcelain is such a wonderful place. Dinner there was one of the best dining experiences I have had this year. For the high quality and interesting and creative dishes the price was reasonable (and even affordable in comparison to other nights out we have had at places not nearly as nice). The ambience is romantic and the food is incredible with lots of interesting plant based vegan options you’d never even notice if you weren’t looking for them. Out of the whole menu maybe over a third was vegan which blew me away. Highly recommend and will be returning often!!

Food was decent. Service failed for me. I didn’t wanna do this because I work in the industry and usually just enjoy a good time but I waited to get rice after I asked numerous times. I got an attitude from server saying kitchen is short staffed. Very understandable if entrees had some wait but to have a long wait for a bowl of rice when I saw another table got it was kind of off. I couldn’t finish the meal anymore as the vibe from server was off and hard to approach. Took the rest to go. Two stars instead of 1 since we enjoyed the two pork dishes together with the steamed egg. Just had an off experience from the service and was saddened by this since I wanted to try more in the menu. Even so, I still tipped properly. Food is good and well seasoned and cook. Maybe focus on improving service

Fusion Asian style cuisines.Smart while giving you a taste of Korea traditional but creative way to enjoy the food.Must order fried chicken, steam eggs(firm like firm tofu), shrimp with sticky rice cake and oyster mushroom, and a bitter melon dish.Surprised by this level of tasty and want to explore more in this neighborhood.The cocktail is also good, and the service, hygiene are great.

We drove from Jersey to check out Porcelain because of all the great buzz we've been reading about. It did not disappoint! The food, the welcoming atmosphere, service, the diverse menu and eclectic vibe made the evening not just a meal but an experience. Kudos to the chef. The choice of recipe combinations work perfectly. This is a little slice of heaven and we'll be back.

For value, flavor and ambience this is easily one of New York’s most impressive restaurants right now. The food is superb — we tried the cold tongue noodles, black pepper prawns, crispy tripe and steamed egg, all of which had big flavor but managed to be really well balanced at the same time. Will be back soon to sample the rest of the menu!

Lovely vibe nice people and very yummy food. We had the yuba and the prawns and loved both. 10/10 will return.
Food was good. I wouldn’t say it’s Michelin quality but very good for a local spot. The reason for three stars despite good food and interior is that fact that the service was horrible. The nicest person there was the male host with a mullet. The people behind the bar that also were servers have no idea about hospitality. They never smiled, were short and completely standoffish. The art of hospitality here is completely lost and the kids working here have no clue. When a dish was brought to our already crowded table they just shoved it in front of me and handed it to me so I had to try and find a way to make it fit on the table. I am so sick of these “cool” places not understanding how to treat people, it ruins the whole experience. I will never come back here due to the arrogance and poor service. Paying good money to be treated like garbage is not ok.

I'm just really impressed. The food was incredible. The best meal I've had out in a long time. We ordered the hot & sour potatoes, glass noodle and leaf celery, and the branzino. Everything was so flavorful and unique. The sauces were amazing, great use of herbs all around. Nice natural wine selection too. Staff and owner are very attentive and warm. The vibe of the place is so cute too.

Great restaurant in Ridgewood.Staff was friendly as soon as we walked in. (Recommend to make reservations for dinner as I feel lots more people will be visiting in the near future)Interior was cool too. Seems like most of the interior was preserved for a nostalgic feel.Asian inspired cuisine was great. The food seemed to be a little experimental, but very flavorful.Great selection of wine. The cutlery was nice.The Nori Fried Pork Chop and Kimchi Brined Fried Chicken were amazing!!!The Cold Tongue Noodles weren't our favorite.Overall great experience!

Delicious Asian restaurant. Went with a party of 5 and split dishes family style. We ordered the Hot & Sour Potatoes, Triple Chili Yuba, Kimchi-Brined Fried Half Chicken, Steamed Egg, Steamed Whole Branzino, and Dandan Lasagna. Everything tasted delicious and the Yuba and Lasagna were the standouts. Our waitress was extremely nice and the vibes of the restaurant are great.

My absolute favorite restaurant in NYC!!This is not just a fantastic restaurant for Ridgewood or for Queens - the creativity, quality of the dishes, and impeccable service and decor made dining here truly one of the most memorable experiences I've had in a while.When describing to my friends what type of restaurant this was, I was hesitant to bucket it into any specific cuisine. Yes, there are Asian flavors and influence, but it feels like a completely unique experience that can only be understood by experiencing it firsthand.Huge appreciation for the veg-friendly dishes here, ESPECIALLY the yuba dish - me and my non-veg boyfriend dream of that dish regularly. HIGHLY recommend that everyone tries that one out at the very least - whether you're veg or non-veg!oh, and shout out to Mike for being the friendliest and most helpful server - he suggested some dishes that we may have otherwise not tried and boy are we glad we did!!
