“Well I live in the area first of all. And my experience with this restaurant is pretty great I have been to a couple of other spots for Chinese food in the area and they are nowhere near the mark of this place. This place raises the bar and sets a very high standard to the quality of food that they serve if you ever come here you have got to try the teriyaki tofu it is to die for. It is so good and their fried rice is really nice and moist very good tasting also. Overall I enjoyed my food here. The customer service is pretty attentive and they have a quite big selection to offer. One thing is for sure two things is for certain your taste buds will thank you for coming to this place to eat. You will be satisfied. Please look out for my new website coming my online store the name of the shop is the level 7 shop where I will be specializing in selling products such as furniture for the home workout equipment Fitness Gear Health Products and Wellness toys for the kids Electronics Etc. Thank you all so much I will be looking forward to doing business with everyone as soon as my website is completed I will let everyone know when it is ready.“

“They are a great family atmosphere restaurant.they are great at their services and so courteous. The food is made to whatever your heart desires. Just ask whether you want certain items like your ribs not too well done.So much sauce on other meals that they are pretty much excellent, and usually, I don't give that kind of high-quality comment on any restaurant.“

“I love eating food from here. It's very tasty. I lived in the area 10+ years ago and this was my go to restaurant for Chinese food. I've moved but still go out of my way to call ahead and place an order for pick up. They offer free delivery but I'm too far. They never disappoint and I highly recommend. Their bbq boneless spareribs well done is my favorite. Check them out.“

“This is a small but great place to grab a quick bite. Their curry fish balls and rice noodles are delicious and fairly cheap. There aren’t many places to sit, but if you manage to snag a spot, it’s best to eat everything while fresh. I’ve been here a few times now and am always looking forward to the next time!“

“The Qianlong Shansi in this restaurant is amazing! The dishes are delicious in color, flavor, and you can feel the strong traditional flavor in every bite, especially the unique seasoning, which makes people want to stop. Whether it is a family dinner or a gathering of friends, it is an excellent choice and highly recommended to everyone!“

“Yingtao offers an elevated dining experience, honoring the owner’s grandmother with both its name and the thoughtful approach to each dish. The restaurant’s sleek, modern interior and open kitchen immediately impress upon entry. The tasting menu is a carefully curated array of dishes with refined flavors, with the duck, toast, foie gras, and nian gao standing out as memorable highlights. The flavors here are subtly layered and delicate, showcasing a restrained elegance that even extends to the desserts, which are perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. Service at Yingtao is exceptional, among the best I’ve encountered. The front-of-house team is attentive and professional, and a special mention goes to Ria, whose deep knowledge of the menu enriched my experience by offering thoughtful insights and explanations. Yingtao is a beautiful homage to family and fine dining—a truly refined experience that’s well worth a visit.“

“Pleasantly surprised to find this authentic spot full of amazing flavors in the middle of our Williamsburg day trip! Walked in for lunch, we got lucky to get in before a big party, but either way their service is great- I asked for recommendation and I was not disappointment. I only wish I had more mouths to feed at my table so I could have ordered everything to try. I thoroughly enjoyed the “husband and wife special” chilled beef and tripe in chili oil and peanut bits, and the sautéed green beans. I believe if you get the lunch special for the dishes you’d get a side white rice, which is much needed to mix with all the delicious sauces! I also ordered the dan dan noodles which were also very delicious. They have quite many options in their menu and all seems really great to eventually try. If you enjoy sichuan flavors this is your spot!“

“This was my second time here and we had a bunch of things! The standouts for this place was the crab roe Tofu, the summer max (cocktail), the pea shoots, fatty beef in sour soup, the feihong spicy shrimp, and the fish blossom(sweet and sour). This place is definitely a must visit and will definitely come again.“

This place has A.C. amazing after walking around all day sightseeing.
Food was delicious especially the Szechuan spicy chicken, fyi doesn't come in a sauce. Scallion pancake was very tasty, as was the chicken soup dumplings. Definitely recommend this place.“

“Yo Ji Shi Mo made our favorite steamed rice noodles on this visit. They were so good, we visited twice. Their Signature #1 is a great way to go. We also got #10 and while more simple, it really let the melt in your mouth noodles be the star of the show. Highly recommended!!!“

“This small cafeteria is nestled in Manhattan's Chinatown, serving up some of the most authentic Chinese food I have eaten anywhere in the city, let alone out of the country. The portion sizes, as can be attested by the spicy chicken curry with hand-pulled noodles and grilled pepper chicken served with rice, are huge. Flavor profiles have that perfect mix of Chinese and Indian spices, like home-cooked meals. Prices are very reasonable, considering the portion sizes. Although small and usually crowded, the line goes quickly.“

“Not a bad choice of you are in the mood for something different. Overall the food is good the portions are generous. Service is ok, great place to take pictures. They peking duck was good they slice it for you tableside. The caviar wasn't good with the toast, there's no taste. Didn't order liver, it's every tough and not silky. The lamb was good, everything that's spicy we order aren't spicy. Even the chilli oil was not spicy. The fish we order was very fresh. Beef was tender. Would recommend but probably would go back because the flavor isn't my thing. That's just me. The cooking time for the food was controlled very well. It just wasn't my thing.“

“Definitely recommend coming here for the experience if you love hotpot. Their food is not much different from other hotpot places, but what sets this place different than the rest is their service. The waiters are all super attentive and try to accommodate your requests as much as possible. If you come at the right times, they might even have performances and shows.“

“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.“

“A little gem of a place smack down close to midtown: affordable, delicious, good portion sizes, and great ambience. The waiters are attentive and there’s a good buzz around the restaurant.
I ordered the seafood Lo Mein, the portion size was just right with a good amount of seafood and great wok-hei.“

“Came for dinner with a group of Chinese friends. Food is good but not what I would called Sichuan. I can recommend the Sautéed pea shoots, Peking duck w soup, Cucumber salad and the Mapo tofu. I CANNOT recommend the grilled fish, it was terrible.
The decor is honestly bizarre, as my friend put it, a mahjong factory. Service was ok, but dishes were slow to be served.“

“Large quantities and yummy food! We got 2 combos for two for 6 ppl and it was more than enough food. We got the classic spice with bean curd and king oyster mushrooms, chicken wings, and pork belly. We also got the tomato soup with fish and beef with lotus root and wide noodles plus milk custard and spicy noodles. Would come again!“

“I made a Friday night reservation for my father's birthday, and it was packed by 7:30! The majority of the crowd was on the younger side.
That being said, it was a bit weird that I arrived with my family just a few minutes before our reservation time, but some younger couples behind us were greeted and introduced to their tables first. The hostess did request we honor a 1.5 hour seating and I thought that was pretty reasonable given how busy it was.
The food highlights were the whole fish and the unique fried glutinous rice balls! The whole fish was rich with a spicy and non-spicy diced broth, which was subtly spicy. Fish was cooked just enough to not fall apart in the chili pepper sauce. I've never had black sesame glutinous rice balls before deep-fried and then stir-fried with pickled mustard greens; it's a pretty interesting flavor combination that I ended up liking. It's a bit on the pricey side for what it was but worth trying if you're feeling adventurous.
Other dishes including the Chongqing noodles, sauteed pea shoots, and Zi Ding (spicy chicken), and truffle fried rice were perfect. I'd avoid the black pepper beef cubes, which were a little under-seasoned.“

“The prices here are great—very cheap and affordable. However, they don’t accept cash, and the food quality is a bit questionable. I ordered the dumplings, which were quite salty even without soy sauce. The steamed dumplings are 10 for $5, while the fried ones are 7 for $10. Unfortunately, the fried dumplings weren’t crunchy at all. You need a key to access the restroom, and there’s no tip or tax added.“

“We tried the restaurant for the first time. We went on a Friday night and every table was taken and the place was very loud. People kept coming and going the whole time we were there. The food was very good, a bit spicy for me even asking to tone it down, but enjoyable non the less. We would definitely go back.“

“MLW is a classic spot, especially if you're into those famous pork buns (char siu bao) that everyone talks about. The buns are soft, sweet, and packed with flavorful roast pork – definitely a must-try. Besides the buns, they’ve got other dim sum items and pastries like dumplings and egg tarts, and they’re all pretty tasty. It's affordable too, which is why so many locals love it. As for the vibe, it's super casual – don’t expect anything fancy. It’s a bit old-school, with limited seating, so it's perfect if you're just looking for a quick, no-fuss bite.
Overall, if you’re in Chinatown and want something cheap and delicious, Mei Lai Wah is definitely worth checking out. Just go for the pork buns!“

“Panties Soup in Buns are great and authentic. They are using unleavened dough. It still tastes pretty good, even though I personally prefer half unleavened dough. One of the bests I can find on local.
Pork soup dumplings were below my standards. Fillings/meat are not fresh.
Drunken chicken is pretty good. Not too much wine in this dish. It’s beginner friendly.“

My wife has a day off today, and our family is here again, which is quite exciting.
But when we left after having enough wine and food, the waiter caught up with us, sir! gentlemen! Please stay...! Your wallet dropped.
It’s worth picking up gold! Thank you little sister!
The food is good! Better character!
Thank you??! !“

“A very fun and entertaining meal. Everything was really good - my favorites were the broad chili noodle and mushroom Peking duck. They really like to add a bit of flair with their meal presentation. I do wish that you could eat the mapo tofu rice after it's set on fire - who doesn't love crispy rice? I guess they use some sort of accelerant that makes it inedible.
We overordered because the entire menu sounds really good - the leftovers heated up well. The staff was really attentive and helpful.“

“The place is heavenly. The decorations, statues, interior design, barista station, and the elegance of the mansion-like restaurant makes me want to return one of these days. I ordered a delicious bowl of Teriyaki Chicken, and my body felt healthy with the dose of sesame. I requested a complementary side of Teriyaki Sauce with that order. When I rechecked the menu, I missed a dish I overlooked. My gut then should have told me to get the Mongolian Beef, one of the most prized Chinese cuisines of all time. Even the waiter who professionally served me recommended it. Nonetheless, I want to invite my party of fabulously dressed friends here. We have been exploring many restaurants, and this one is very, very elegant. It is time to return one of these days for the Mongolian Beef.
Vegetarian options: One of the salads, Buddha’s Delight, is a dish I recommend. Highly nutritious and delicious. Many desserts, soups and salads have customizable ingredients vegans can see before placing an order.
Kid-friendliness: On my visit, there was a modest family, a single mother family, who happily visited the restaurant and dined there. So yes, it is family-friendly.“

“Good snack. Been snacking here for years. They show up most days when not rainy and when the low temperature is above freezing. Price for the most skewers have gone up from $1.25 several years ago to $2.5 now. Takes just several minutes for most orders outside of the busiest days.“

No line when I went around 9am and service was fast and efficient. No chitchat but I wasn't there for small talk ? After I recieved my order, I took a few steps back and just dug in! Yum!

“I recently dined at New Chinatown Restaurant and Bar, and it was an exceptional experience. The fusion of Chinese and Thai flavors is both innovative and delicious. The menu offers a fantastic variety of dishes, and everything we tried was fresh and perfectly seasoned. The ambiance is inviting, with a modern twist on classic decor, making it a great spot for both casual meals and special occasions. The staff was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall great atmosphere. I highly recommend New Chinatown for anyone looking to enjoy high-quality Asian fusion cuisine in a welcoming environment.“

“I’m from China and had been long craving authentic good quality Chinese food. When I was in NYC this summer with my parents and boyfriend, we went to try this place out, and that was one of the best meal I had in my life! We tried Beijing duck and skewers as well as some vegetable dishes, everything was so delicious, nicely put together, and other items on the menu also looked authentic and delicious. Will visit this restaurant every time I come to NYC.“
