Mission Chinese has grown into a two-tiered banquet hall with two tasting menus, two cocktail bars, and amuse bouches for everyone (cilantro egg dumplings).
Gideon OlshanskyFebruary 2, 2016
Everything is good here. Close your eyes, point a finger at a random menu item, and I guarantee you'll enjoy it, just watch out for spicy foods if you're not into that.
Wesley A'HarrahFebruary 4, 2018
Chongqing chicken wings are a must-try! The green tea noodles and salt and pepper lamb rib tips are also delicious.
Kevin LiJune 29, 2012
Authentic meets hip. Go with a bunch of ppl so you can order bunch of things. The salt cod rice, the monk fish liver sashimi, the rice cakes, mapo tofu were all solid. Line gets crazy so go early.

The free beer while you wait is awesome. The buckwheat noodles and kung pow pastrami are great. A lot of the dishes are over-the-top salty (and I love salty food). Avoid the long beans and pickles.

Tons of things are vegetarian or can be made vegetarian & none of it feels compromised or like an afterthought. I loved: Braised Pea Greens & Mongolian Long Beans. Great flavors, super satisfying.

Mapo tofu is delicious. Beware if you get it spicy, it's actually quite spicy
Amanda RayeAugust 5, 2013
Go with a group of people, the large dishes are served family style. Avoid the line and go for lunch...the menu is the same. Oh, and get the thrice cooked bacon + salt cod fried rice!
DanApril 7, 2018
Chicken wings and lobster fried rice are great. Also, when the menu says the dish is spicy, they’re definitely not kidding.
Joe JunterealFebruary 10, 2013
Extremely spicy, but so good. Worth the wait, but you def need to pace yourself unless you're used to spicy schezwan food. Such a change from spicy Thai I had at Little Serow in DC yesterday.
jiresellAugust 30, 2015
Really unique! My favorite dishes are the lamb ribs, pizza and beef jerky fried rice. Go with a large group and share as many plates as you can!
Charlie HellmanMarch 24, 2013
Carrot pickles are a refreshing starter. Bacon is tasty. Egg egg noodles are a nice staple against so many strong flavors. Favorite dish was the scallop sashimi. Tofu is hard to handle.

don't sleep on the cumin lamb riblets! + fried chix entree. + the spicy peanut noodles w cuke n mint. strong cocktails also. go early—or go late. #crowded

The new, improved, and (much) larger Mission Chinese made a huge leap forward with the addition of one of the city's best -- and most thrillingly outside-the-box -- cocktail programs.
LukeFebruary 24, 2017
The green tea noodles are truly special, but (real talk) the menu as a whole can be unpredictable. Go with a group so you can try more stuff

Sorry for the wait but you'll enjoy the drinks and if you're looking for spicy, you'll get spicy. Also, very cool interior.
Vincent ChuMay 13, 2016
The cumin lamb chops were good. Nice beer selection. Jerky fried rice good too. I didn't pull the trigger on the $75 chicken (forgot the name) but it's $75.
Ray LinJanuary 20, 2015
The spicy? You CAN'T HANDLE THE SPICY! Must-order items are the fried chicken appetizer, and any entree repertoire here needs the Kung Pow pastrami and salt cod fried rice.
Sahm AdrangiJuly 20, 2013
Best "chinese" in the city. I'd skip the pastrami, but rest was incredible: mapo tofu, catfish, wings, bacon. Get xo noodles
Remington GuestDecember 28, 2012
Make sure to leave after you put your name down. It's a long wait. Order the thrice cooked bacon, buckwheat noodles, and peagreens (soup). The cocktails are great too.
Ashley SpechtOctober 2, 2017
Good for large groups; pre-fixe menu is a little pricey and might have to do the regular menu if the situation were to be repeated. Phil Khalinns was a great and quirky drink.
Village VoiceNovember 26, 2012
Incorporates regional Chinese, Japanese and American elements along with balls-to-the-wall spiciness in a semi-subterranean premise. Critics' choice for winner of Best of NYC, Best Chinese (Hipster)!

pastrami; very delicious, communal tables are annoying, chicken wings very spicy but dry, lamb delicious but on the bone so not very classy, knowledgeable waitstaff, overall winner is cucumber salad
Bradley KayFebruary 19, 2017
Spice and salt bombs all night, you'll roll away bloated and happy. Phil Khallinz cocktail is one of the finest things I have ever tasted in my life.
Alice EunjinJune 27, 2016
Significantly better for dinner than for lunch. Love their fried chicken, cumin lamb, and lettuce wraps
Richard BarberSeptember 16, 2016
The best kind of spicy. The wings are 🔥🔥. Also get the thrice cooked bacon it's a must
Amy ChinJuly 31, 2012
chongqing chicken wings r outstanding - sift thru the pile of chili peppers 4 crispy beef tripe nuggets! Other 'don't miss' dishes: Cumin lamb w/charred dates, salt cod fried rice, pig ear terrine
Village VoiceJuly 2, 2012
Catfish a la Sichuan, a recent menu addition, packs a prodigious peppercorn wallop. The menu has changed in the two months since Mission's doors opened, so make sure to grab this before it disappears.
Gary TorielloDecember 27, 2014
Chongqing Chicken Wings - explosive chili, xinjiang spices, and crispy beef tripe. "Sichuan peppercorns provide vibrating, tingling, & numbing sensations."

The secret to Mission Chinese's chef Angela Dimayuga's fried chicken? Koji—a form of fermented rice or soybeans—as a marinade and aging the chicken so that it fries to perfection. Read more
Jess MaryJanuary 10, 2013
Don't come hungry or you'll be too hunger-raged out to enjoy. Have a small snack before you come. People rightfully rave about the spicy food, but the egg egg noodles and eggplant are outstanding also
Paula VillanuevaJune 14, 2015
Best Chinese food ever! Get the kung pao pastrami, celery, spicy peanut noodles and wash it down with soba tea 👌🏼🙌🏼 A-M-A-Z-I-N-G
Remington GuestDecember 3, 2012
Found the wings to be over rated. Pok poks are way better. Make sure to get some less spicy dishes too. Thrice cooked bacon is a must. Egg noodles were great, as were the 2 cocktails I had.

A twist on a Chinese favorite, the Beef Jerky Fried Rice with beech mushrooms, onions and sawtooth herb at Mission Chinese Food doesn’t disappoint. Read more

A bit on the salty side but the flavored are pretty awesome. Loved the pig ears, thrice cooked bacon rice cake, salt cod fried rice and a iced cold beer.
Chris CAugust 28, 2012
I don't wait an hour and a half for food but this is worth it! Screw the free beer, go to Top Hops three blocks down orchard. Had the married couples beef, cumin lamb and thrice cooked bacon, amazing!
Chloe ZhaoFebruary 16, 2016
Chicken wing, beef jerky fried rice, kungpao pastrami are all so good. Nice vibe. Playful decor. One of my fav restaurants in New York.
Luiz Gabriel CamargoFebruary 12, 2016
SpicyPeanutNoodle & KungPaoPastrami. Way over salted and seasoned. Tasted and felt like Ramen noodles w 8 spice packets. Drinks were good (bartender had anattitude), spring rolls very good.

"General Tso's Old Fashioned" - Old Overholt #Rye #Whiskey , toasted peanut & sesame, maggi, ginger, blended chilies, palm sugar, & orange peel.
Gabe RoseMarch 31, 2013
Get the thrice cooked bacon, bbq pig tails, kung pao pastrami, and broccoli brisket, proceed to drink 13 glasses of water to put out the fire in your mouth.
Behrad EatsNovember 13, 2017
Heat-seekers should not miss ordering the fiery Mapo Tofu!
Eda KaplanNovember 3, 2015
You can't go wrong with anything you order. Come with a group and order a lot. Broccoli beef brisket and cumin lamb ribs!
Trae FJune 5, 2017
Loved the lobster and coconut fried rice. The Kung pao pastrami is good and SPICY! Something tells me Quentin Tarantino would dig this place
Kathryn YuJune 6, 2012
Thrice cooked bacon with rice cakes, tofu skin, bitter melon and chili oil. Not for the faint of heart or small of stomach, but absolutely delicious and incredibly spicy.
Leah HammerschlagJanuary 22, 2015
Brisket beef &brocc, lamb ribs are awesome. The pizza was DELISH. great drinks, very cool decor and beats. Will be returning.
Helena WongAugust 2, 2013
Worth the hype! Generous portions so come with 2-4 ppl. Kale salad & Pork Eel Celery dumplings oozed with spice tang and fresh ingredients
Sandor WeiszApril 29, 2013
Thrice Cooked Bacon is as brilliant and as spicy as everyone says, but the spice is expertly added. I never found myself reaching for the rice to dull any pain. It's just plain f'in good.
K@rTh!kk ReDd!June 1, 2013
Spicy on the Menu is Spicy!!! If u'r in a mood for some authentic Chinese food, this is the place to go. Worth the try, even when the wait is long...
