j yNovember 11, 2012Nice thoughtful wine list and good food. Comfortable service and room. Lovely dinner experience!
Ido RosenJanuary 16, 2016Ma po tofu is like eating potpourri, way too much Szechuan peppercorns. Spiced cumin lamb was good. Vegetable pot stickers arrived lukewarm.
Misook JiJuly 20, 2013Yummy food. Great service. Opinion about the restaurant deco was a bit overrated in NY Times review. It's definitely not a typical Chinese restaurant atmosphere. But not that memorable ether.
Love the atmosphere and excited to find soup dumplings on a midtown menu.
Foxxy BSeptember 8, 2018Pass on Chungking chicken: oddly salty w/ no other flavor (certainly can’t taste chicken) & not that spicy (it has the highest spice rating). Place is probably overhyped; I’ll give it 1 more chance.
Hayley McGuirlJanuary 2, 2014Try the fish and white bean soup, full of flavor and perfect for sharing!
Sichuan items are the focus so go for them. Lines can be long.
Esther MoonMay 4, 2012The Mabo tofu is awesome! Chungking chicken is ridiculously spicy only for the true lovers of spicy fiery food beware!- Isotope Forty-threeFebruary 11, 2013Excellent desserts as well.... But three chili chicken is the best... Moist and super tender.
It's straightforward. Have the rabbit. Have the kung pao. Have the eggplant. Have the Mapo tofu. Smile.
Emily WilsonSeptember 2, 2015Get a few orders of soup dumplings immediately upon getting seated--they take 10 minutes to come out
lucy elliottJune 14, 2012The Double cooked pork with smoked tofu. Just the right amount of spicy. Super tasty!
I am not a big fan of Kung Pao Chicken, but their Kung Pao Chicken is so delish!!!!
Swift SwiftJune 4, 2014The soup dumplings left something to be desired in terms of soup (they were basically just normal dumplings). Tasty and reasonably priced though.
jason pJanuary 3, 2018Excellent, would recommend highly. Mouth tingling chicken super. Avoid xiao long bau though, very poor
Brian OconnellApril 20, 2013Even the Caucasian waiters speak Chinese, and quite a lot of the non-Chinese diners too.
M. Silver AssociatesJanuary 24, 2012Offers a great long Chinese New Year traditional menu:
Coşku ÇobanoğluNovember 22, 2018Dumplings and dandan noodles are great.. tofu is way too 🌶 and greasy- Jarel HillSeptember 12, 20173 pepper chicken was a bit much for me. Dumplings and Dan dan noodles though!
Zhanna GlazenburgJune 4, 2016They no longer take reservations for groups smaller than 6 😒 so, if you want to eat there, arrive early or be prepared for a long wait
Pickle fish stew. Chunking chicken. Chengdu spicy wonton.
Tim DengAugust 14, 2018Really solid chinese food, but unfortunately I didn't think it met up to my hyped expectations.
