Kayleigh HarringtonDecember 4, 2016Eggplant, vegan dumplings and mapo lo mein. This is going to be your new favorite restaurant. Great atmosphere.

Time Out New YorkJanuary 25, 2018Some solid starters are the battered batons of crispy eggplant, sticky with peanut caramel and humming with Szechuan peppercorns, and the roasted duck salad paired with ripe lychee and black vinegar. Read more

Stephen CallahanJanuary 16, 2019The alley to this place is like being in a movie scene. The lighting is theatric and it’s a classic Chinese alleyway. You walk into this speakeasy and you find an amazing venue with amazing food.UpvoteDownvote
austin dsouzaAugust 17, 2017Decor makes it feel like dining in the 1940s. Cocktails amazing! Try the Chinatown Margarita (spicy). Lots of vegan options: crispy eggplant, fried rice, iceberg lettuce stir fry. All amazing! Love itUpvoteDownvote
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantMarch 1, 2017Gorgeous space. No booze or cocktails yet - only wine. Tuxedo Dumplings are fabulous. Also like the shiitake "ravioli". I would give the crispy eggplant a pass.

Jeremy FisherJanuary 6, 2017Duck salad, beef and broccoli, Kombu butter noodles, beef tartar, super bananana. Char siu is good but very traditional so skippable at this price pointUpvote1Downvote
Cameron GidariOctober 14, 2017The blackened mackerel is one of the most interesting dishes I've ever had, definitely a must-try. House made egg noodles were phenomenal.

Alyssa B.June 17, 2021It’s been a while! Here for the ambiance and cocktails. Crispy eggplant is always good. After 2-3 drinks, go elsewhere for “real” food.

Nick AndlingerFebruary 17, 2017Incredible. Get the char siu, eggplant, spicy cucumber, bass, tartare. Will be back asap.Upvote1Downvote
- Danielle PurslowMarch 31, 2017Bomb. Beef and broccoli & duck salad are both a must. Cocktails are great too but I'd skip them, eat the food then hop next door to apotheke.UpvoteDownvote
Sam GilAugust 4, 2018Lovely vibe, but bill ends up being more expensive than normal. Duck salad was awesome! Otherwise the prawn spring roll, crispy eggplant & prawn noodles were all “cool” but didn’t feel was worth cost.UpvoteDownvote
Silene LimFebruary 7, 2019Went for CNY, 5 regular prix fixe and one vegetarian. Vegetarian kept coming later or earlier than the rest of us. What looked like portion for 4 instead of 5. And it was $88 ++. 😩😒UpvoteDownvote
Egemen Eren KoçakJuly 24, 2021Vegetable fried rice is beyond expectations, try crispy pork dumplings if you are into dim sums. Sweet potato rolls are a must. Cocktails are ok but overpriced. Only negativity is extremely noisy

Megan FrenchDecember 13, 2020Food is amazing and ambiance is trendy! Our waiter was so attentive. I’d highly recommend the “Utiao” bread and “Johny” fried rice.UpvoteDownvote
Ryan MatznerDecember 18, 2016Tuxedo dumplings and duck salad are incredible. Mapo noodles are skippable.Upvote1Downvote
AmateurConciergeSeptember 28, 2017Gourmet Chinese. Crispy eggplant and the duck salad were the highlights. Beer and wine only was the low lightUpvoteDownvote- Anjuli TheresaJanuary 22, 2017Not a huge menu for vegetarians but the crispy eggplant is amazing! So are the wines and the interiorUpvoteDownvote
CharlottesJanuary 25, 2018Slick space with terrible acoustics. Dishes were hit and miss, with tender juicy char sui pork loin the highlight of our order.Upvote1Downvote- AleOctober 6, 2018Try the Crispy Eggplant; the Pork Salad and the Pork Dumplings! Good food but pricey for the size of the dishesUpvoteDownvote
Kate FurmanJanuary 4, 2017Beautiful interior renovated after an old Chinese Opera house. The food is pricey for the amount you get, people are probably here to see and be seen.UpvoteDownvote
Ursula TudelaFebruary 17, 2017Crispy eggplant, beef & broccoli, and sweet & sour pork!

CCFebruary 2, 2017Eggplant, steak tartare and super banana are really good. Snails are alright but a lot of work. Noodles are okay. Seems like they didn't have cocktails yet.UpvoteDownvote
- Valentin GuerinMarch 18, 2018Scallops and pork dumplings were good, disappointed by the crispy eggplantUpvoteDownvote
Ronak DayaJanuary 8, 2017Cool decor and innovative menu, but doesn't live up to the hype. Small portions and okay device. Wouldn't go out of the way for it.
