Vegetarian restaurant
👍👍 Wonderful experience. It’s always hard as a vegetarian to enjoy Chinese (and Asian food in general) since it’s so meat-heavy. We got the vegetable dumplings, sweet & sour pork, salt & pepper mushrooms, and the mash potato dishes. Everything had such unique flavors and was perfectly cooked. On top...

Chinese restaurant
👍👍 Went on a Saturday night with a large group and we were seated easily. The food was good and up to par with the other Sichuan food I've had in the city. Their green beans, live fish, and spicy chicken were our favorite.

Chef Huang
Chinese restaurant
👍👍 Delicious! I was told this restaurant opened not too long ago and it did not disappoint. The wraps for the Peking duck were so thin and authentic. My only wish is that they give more of the cucumbers and scallions to add into the wrap, but no big deal. The beef ribs in crispy pancakes were AMAZING....

Dim Sum Bloom
Chinese restaurant
👍👍 We visited friends who live in upper west side and decided to give Dim Sum Bloom a try. We shared a couple of dim sum dishes as appetizers. Our favorites were the Pork Bun which was flavorful and the juicy fried squid with salt & pepper. We enjoyed both entrees we got: Deep Fried Spare Ribs with G...

👍👍 I’ve tried every menu item and I’m never disappointed! Although Vegetarian is in the name. The menu items are all Vegan-safe, aside from the lo mein noodles. Definitely recommend!

Chinah
Chinese restaurant
😠 I may be biased because of how late it is, and I definitely might consider trying again at an earlier time, but as of right now, what I received was a very sad excuse of Chinese food. This tastes like if your roommate couldn’t cook and attempted to make some Chinese food but completely ignored the r...

China Us
Chinese restaurant
👍 There are self-service weighed Asian dishes (fried noodles, fried chicken, pasta, etc.) for $12/pound. The soup is a bit salty, and it operates like a supermarket with an inside seating area. Lunch costs about $50 for a family and is right opposite the exit after visiting the Empire State Building.

Beyond Wok
Chinese restaurant
👍👍 I’ve walked past this place so many times but never thought to step in until I had a poke craving last night. They serve Mala hot pot, poke, and rice plates. I got a salmon poke bowl with a bunch of toppings for only $12. Ingredients were fresh and portion size was generous. There were medium and...

House of the Red Pearl
Chinese restaurant
👍👍 Surprisingly delicious place to have a meal! Located upstairs in the Tin building in the South Street Seaport. The speakeasy entrance adds a little bit of charm. The fusion meal was great. The service was very friendly. The place has a very welcoming vibe! I definitely recommend this place.

Shui Mei Cafe
Chinese restaurant
😐 Came here because I was craving some food from my childhood. Slightly disappointed on the 2 fried items that I got not very flavorful. The guobian was also lacking in flavor. I ordered it with clam but they forgot the clam and had to add it after, I suspect that’s why the flavor was not great. The p...
