Cha & — A Modern Sanctuary for Tea in the City ★★★★☆ Tucked into a sun-washed corner of the neighborhood, Cha & feels less like a café and more like a pause button. The airy space — White wall, light wood, and towering windows — fills with soft daylight, creating a calm, gallery-like atmosphere that contrasts beautifully with the city just beyond the glass. The tea list is thoughtful and globally inspired. Jewel-toned herbal infusions arrive in clear glass mugs, their color and aroma taking ce

Really enjoyed the hot braised dishes here — perfect for cold weather. The braised pork knuckle rice was flavorful and super comforting. Also loved the spicy beef tripe dish — the sauce is so good you can even mix it with noodles. Great value and a solid lunch spot in the neighborhood.

Restaurant featuring leather booths and a zinc bar, serving creative American fare.
I recently visited Au Cheval in Manhattan and had a great overall experience. I really loved the atmosphere. The environment has a cool, vibrant energy, and the music added a lot to the mood of the place. The food was very good. We ordered the Caesar salad, mac and cheese, the burger, french fries and the chicken sliders. Everything was well-prepared and flavorful. The burger, of course, is the highlight. Is it the best burger I’ve ever had? No. But it’s definitely high quality, generously siz

Popular Chinatown eatery famed for its soup dumplings and other Shanghai dishes in a spare setting.
Walking in, I already had a feeling this was going to be one of those places where you forget about checking your phone because the food keeps showing up and grabbing your attention. The dining room had a busy energy but never felt overwhelming. Once everything landed on the table, we ended up reaching for the soup dumplings first, then somehow kept rotating between the scallion pancakes, crispy shredded beef, and shrimp fried rice without really deciding what to eat next. The soup dumplings ab

This is pretty authentic chinese food. Great experience. Some of the waiters are a little rough on the English but be sure you explain what you want and use Google translate if you must. Everything is made to order so be prepared to wait if it's busy. It's a small place with only 10 tables but it didn't seem to be very loud. I ate the Buddha's Delight for my main dish and it was without hesitation, the best I've ever had anywhere. The vegetables were 100% on point and bursting with flavor.

Casual Chinese restaurant serving street-style food, with roast pork as its speciality.
CASH ONLY. This spot is all about no‑frills standard Cantonese roast meats. The menu is simple — roast pork, roast duck, or chicken over white rice with steamed napa cabbage — and both the small and large come packed to the brim. I got the roast pork and roast duck combo. The duck was the standout: tender, flavorful, and easily what I’d order on its own next time. The pork was average- prefer my roast pork on the fattier side, so it wasn’t as juicy or flavorful as other places nearby. I also sk

Got the pork soup dumplings wow the flavor of the soup was so good. Very thing was so good this is not our typical order we all wanted to try new things. This place is worth trying.

We got our food to go, but would have sat inside if we didn’t need to be someplace shortly after our stop in. We got the wheat noodles with peanut butter sauce and the pork and chive dumplings and with tip it was $10 for two people for lunch! What a bargain. The noodles were delightful and we added the leftover dumpling sauce, had we ate there I would have added Sriracha to it and it would have been perfect.

The service here is absolutely immaculate. From the lightning-fast pace to the proactive water refills, the staff truly goes above and beyond. We opted for both the hot pot and BBQ; everything arrived at the table quickly, and the team even stepped in to grill for us while we focused on the hot pot. With incredible flavors and a vibrant atmosphere, this spot is top-notch. Highly recommended!

Great NY Noodletown has been on this corner of Bowery and Bayard since 1981, and the fact that it still draws a full room on any given afternoon says everything about what the kitchen is doing right. The space is no-frills in the extreme, bright lights, tables close together, service that moves at its own pace and doesn't particularly care if you feel rushed, but once the food arrives all of that context falls away pretty quickly. The wonton noodle soup is the first thing to order, a clear, slig

It was definitely worth it! I visited on my last day in New York and ordered the original egg tart and lemon cloud tart. Both were so so good! The crust was perfectly crispy and the filling was creamy without being overly sweet, which is exactly my style. I just wish I could've brought more home with me.

Came to Uncle Lou in celebration of Lunar New Year and food here is always perfect and spot on every time I dine here! This is one of the most popular spot in all of Chinatown, with a line that is constantly out the door (believe me, it’s definitely worth the wait!!). Their Cantonese style food is always a classic, and the dim sum here is definitely my favorite! Highly recommend trying their rice noodles and dumplings!

Outstanding service can make a busy restaurant unforgettable and Brian did exactly that. Even though the place was packed, our wait was only about 10 minutes. Brian, who mentioned he’s a chef (and may even be the owner), took care of us and was incredibly attentive from start to finish. He went above and beyond by making us a custom crispy rice dish that wasn’t even on the menu topped with spicy tuna, avocado, cucumber, and spicy mayo. It was absolutely amazing and truly top-tier.

Finally made it to Kiki’s and I’m happy to say it was worth all the hype. They don’t take reservations for small groups though so there’s often a wait, but we went at an odd time on Valentine’s Day and were able to be seated quickly. Service was great and the restaurant had a really cozy feel that definitely matched the vibe of enjoying coastal Greek food. The calamari was some of the best I’ve ever had, super fresh with a perfect crumb and the right amount of crisp. The other appetizer we got

The star of the show is definitely the hand-pulled noodles! They have the perfect, chewy texture and hold up beautifully in the bowl. The broth is incredibly rich, deeply flavorful, and clearly simmered to perfection. Pro Tip: This place gets packed very fast, so prepare to wait a bit during peak hours or try to arrive early. It is well worth the wait! I'm already planning my next visit because I definitely want to try their burgers next time. Highly recommend!

All of the cocktails have some sort of spice, earthy notes like garam masala, nutmeg, smoky, duck fat, smoked rosemary; etc. Again, this is a 4-star for myself but I can see this being 5-star for people with the acquired taste above. I think they are unique complex cocktails. I ordered “Napoleons Right Hand” which felt heavy handed on the bitters; my mouth puckered up quite a bit. My second was Melon King Fizz, which I informed the staff I didn’t like gin but she still said to try it still. E

I really enjoyed it. I ordered curry chicken and omg, the chicken was so tender. I felt the urge to ask how they make their soy so tender!!! I had a side of rice for that and honestly, it was a little dry. I also ordered the noddles with soup and it was ok, the bbq meat was the highlight of that dish- I wish it had more veggies. But udon noodles are my favorite,so I enjoyed it. I also had de cheesecake and was so creamy and not overly sweet, i liked it too! Good size portions.

She gave us great recommendations and was very attentive the whole time. The food was delicious, especially the Shrimp and Pork Noodles, which were full of flavor. At the end we ordered a ginger dessert that comes with three pieces, and it was the perfect way to finish our meal. It was a wonderful experience for me and my family.

Absolutely loved the mochi donuts here! They were so good that we ended up coming back a second time during our stay in New York. The texture was perfect—crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, with just the right amount of sweetness. My favorite was definitely the Onyx donut. It had an amazing flavor combination and stood out from the rest. Every donut we tried was fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. It’s easy to see why this place is so popular.

Beautiful meal. Usually I’m skeptical about Chinese fusion, but everything was executed perfectly at Lei. The celtuce had a delightful crunch, which was paired nicely with a rich, but light and slightly tangy sauce. The Cabbage with yuba and morels was also very warming and had a great depth of flavour without being too heavy. We also ordered the shao bing, which, while simple was delightfully crunchy and paired nicely with the slab of butter inside. The mains, however, were the real star of the

It was ok. We ordered a couple of the noodle soups—duck and spare ribs. The soups could have been warmer. We are on a quest to find the best noodle restaurant in Chinatown and this would be pretty far down the list. Supposedly the clay pot dishes are good and likely better than the noodle soups. We also got some truffle soup dumplings. We have definitely had better soup dumplings at other places. If we come back it will be for the clay pot dishes. I would pass on the rest.

Alrite place for mid-level banquet food. I would say that the food is authentic to what Chinese food was served in the scarcity of good ingredients. Nowadays, I feel that the fried rice is too dry, the walnut shrimp has too much mayonnaise, the ribs are too sweet and chewy, and the fried chicken is too dry. So overall I wouldn't go on my own. However I would go to feed a crowd of 100+. They pace the dishes well and their servers are attentive. Plus at 100+ you're not going for top tier food, ju

Been wanting to come to this place for a while and it didn’t disappoint. $15 for a big plate of pork dumplings. They are super fresh. You can see them rolling the dough in the back. There was a short line, but it moved pretty quickly. The sauces they have are good. We mixed the two to make a nice dipping sauce. There is no searing, so you have to find a stoop or bench nearby, but for the price and quality of the food I would say that’s fine. I don’t recommend going in the winter, especially if i

Best dumplings I’ve ever had. No exaggeration. $5 for 13 or $10 for 26 — cash only. The value is unreal. Crispy bottoms, juicy filling, perfectly seasoned, and served hot and fresh. The line moves quickly, and it looked like a single older woman was running the entire place herself — major respect. We literally ate them standing in the street during a festival and it was perfect. Went back later for more and they had already closed — next time I’m ordering the large. A must-stop in Chinatown
