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.

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...

Votes Restaurant of The Year! Delicious food and cocktails. Intimate (like...how's ya father?) and awesome Twin Peaks restroom. Try not to get emotional whilst peeing. I dare you.

Picky eaters, beware! The food is very unique and they don't allow substitutions! Some dishes can be made vegetarian if you ask, though.

Tom Khallins will be in my dreams for months. Do not leave without Mapo Tofu, wings, black bean clams with squid ink naan.

The panna cotta Pop Rocks dessert is kind of insanely delicious.
David ShapiroDecember 30, 2012
Twin Peaks. There's a picture of Laura Palmer in the bathroom and the bathroom floor tile is from the black lodge. Awesome. Also, the food will destroy you. In a good way.

as much as i miss the grunge of the old location, i appreciate the classy new digs. and the twin peaks themed bathroom hallway is very well done.

Seating is odd here so go before 6:30pm to avoid a wait! Must eat: beef tartare, scallops with yuzu, chicken wings (warning, EXTREME mala!)

The chicken might be famous but it being so spicy, has more to do with the hype. Go for the beef jerky fried rice, mapo tofu slightly overrated. Overall chill spot, you'll enjoy.
ShellyApril 14, 2015
Mapo tofu is excellent, an intricate entanglement of flavors. Salt cod fried rice, 3 of us felt it was a complete disappointment.
Cameron GidariFebruary 28, 2017
Lives up to the hype. Best spring rolls I've ever had. Unbelievable wings. The brisket and broccoli is great.
Jack GashiDecember 9, 2015
Dope food, cool vibe. Where else can you get delectable pork and a personal pizza?
Adam BardDecember 23, 2014
The food's going to come whenever it's cooked, so ignore the menu calling dishes appetizers, and hope they don't bring the rice first, or forget to order it for a few minutes, then remember.

The owner wrote about his food for McSweeneys. Count on long queue's, but it's worth it. Great food. Twin Peaks themed toilets. And they serve free beer while you're waiting.
Joshua BoggsAugust 8, 2016
Spicy wings, Kung Pao pastrami, and braised beef. Delicious!
Village VoiceSeptember 27, 2013
Get your spicy on with kung pao pastrami and the ma po tofu. You're going to need to order many, many beers for these meals!
Emilie FuttermanJuly 26, 2015
The bar is a different feel, equally yummy. Can't go wrong with anything, but the Napa cabbage is low key incredible.

Recommended highly. Had the lamb, trice cooked bacon and cod rice. All three delicious, in that order. Lamb is a must have, period.
Colin BrownApril 5, 2015
There is a bar downstairs in the back while you wait for your table. Drinks are pretty pricey but the Old Fashioned is worth it!
Natalie SuarezJune 4, 2012
Trice cooked bacon is not normal!! Also suggest the chicken wins. Best ever and super spicy!! They give you free beer while you wait which is a plus! Crappy beer but hey, I'm not complaining.
Alexis BendjouiaDecember 5, 2015
Bougie but worth a visit. Good late night noodles with a fun Phil Kallins cocktail that's def worth tasting.
Sven LenaertsOctober 5, 2016
The pastrami has completely changed how I think about pastrami in the first place. Their dishes have excellent seasoning.
Becca BaeSeptember 21, 2015
Pastrami and papaya salad are the way to go. Phil Khallins and Tea Ceremony are divine 👌
Joshua BoggsFebruary 1, 2018
The wings are spicy as heck but some of the best I’ve had!
Ruturaj RanaNovember 4, 2018
The fried chicken, bacon, lamb rice, and Dan Dan Raman 👌🏼
NickleshNovember 30, 2012
Great vegetarian options are the thrice cooked bacon (I could eat it everyday) and the rice noodles. Free beer on tap while you wait.

Chicken wings and beef tendon starter...!! Cod fried roce cools the mputh too. Beer over wine as its spicy!!! Six points best.
Lauren TFebruary 23, 2015
But of a wait, but all the food was flavorful and amazing. If you don't like spicy this might not be the place for you.
Hannah StrausJanuary 1, 2015
I really like the atmosphere, but I've been here a couple of times and just don't get what all the talk is about 👎. Pizza and wings (spicy) are good 👍
Adam BardDecember 21, 2014
Salt cod rice w/sausage a standout, a good balance for any "very spicy" dish (which means what it says - you've been warned).

The chili chicken wings are magical. Do yourself a favor and get them.

Love this place. Come with a group for the beggars duck.
Alex RobertsonAugust 23, 2017
yuzu cocktail (14 dollars) is very real
Phil MachalskiApril 14, 2015
It's easy to over order here, but squeeze in the beef tartare. Salmon roe, steak and chilies wrapped in shiso. So good.
Saif DiaJanuary 6, 2013
Great twist on American Chinese food. The pastrami and lamb are recommended. Worth a 30 min wait, but not much longer. Food was a bit over salted during my last visit.
Jimmy ZhuJuly 22, 2012
If you're waiting for your table (and chances are that you'll be waiting a while), stand by the dining entrance where there's free beer and free hot wings (sometimes)
Village VoiceMarch 1, 2013
While it may not be completely authentic Chinese, we guarantee you’ll love some of the funky remixes here, like Kung Pao Pastrami. Chew on that!
Gary TorielloDecember 27, 2014
Kung Pao Pastrami - Pastrami cubes, tianjin chile, bell peppers, celery, home fries & peanuts.
Stacey HerronJanuary 3, 2013
Winter cold? Stuffed up? Sinus issues? The cure is ordering and eating the (delicious) Beer Brined Sichuan Pickles. Cheaper than anything at the pharmacy at $4.00.

Spicy peanut noodles, rice cakes, pea greens and squash broth. Phillip Collins cocktail the BEST
Melissa MandelbaumAugust 12, 2013
Egg noodles are amazing! Chicken wings are fab - not as spicy as everyone says. Bacon dish is great but sooooo hot.

While waiting for a table the custom of giving out free beer to customers as they wait has stopped, due to someone complaining and fear of losing their liquor license (according to the host).
Fran WuFebruary 12, 2017
Rice cakes were unexpectedly outstanding-so much punch. Celery dish and wings were great as well.
CassidyMay 30, 2012
Thrice cooked bacon has enough Sichuan pepper to make you feel like you're eating pop rocks. Aggressive.
Christine 지혜 YoonSeptember 5, 2013
My fav part. :Restroom is twin peaks themed. Spicy dishes but good. I recommend Salt cod rice and mapo tofu
Ra JangAugust 12, 2017
Best Mapo tofu in NYC but should ask for a half amount of salt otherwise you ended up have to drink a gallon of water.
