Joanne ReinardOctober 18, 2016Try their mythical Lychee Martini! Delicious drink that will make you forget everything! Very noisy and busy place but it's worth the try!Upvoted 2 weeks ago
Bulat Tha BossJanuary 28, 2014Those 5$ lychee martinis!!! By the time me and my friends ordered 4th round I realized I loved it so much not because of the drink itself but because of the fruit! Lol. Cocktail itself is good too)
Rose TabladaAugust 15, 2016The vibe is great. The Lychee Martin was amazing. That's one of my favorite drink. They have good food as well. The owner Gary he such an amazing person & a good friend. I totally recommend this place
Stephanie GonzalezSeptember 21, 2012The chicken satay & spicy chicken dumplings are great...the calamari is a southeast Asian take on the traditional Italian app but is really good as well. Happy hour is 'til 10pm so that's a plus too!
Liam OliverJune 27, 2016Great atmosphere and drinks. Killer salsa band playing live on a Sunday night. Crowd is a live one. No complaints.
Jim TaylorApril 9, 2015The south-east Asian inspired small plates and tapas are great for earlier in the night when the crowd isn’t so busy, but are all flavorsome & delicious cocktail bites. Read more
Jc QAugust 28, 2014Lychee Martini ($5 till 10pm)... best happy hour in the City. Great cocktails awesome bartenders. Bring a date or a group of friends you'll have a blast!
Samantha CornwallMarch 20, 2015Happy hour drinks pack a nice punch....a bit on the cozy side does get packed during happy hour but that's to be expected. Delicious appetizers.- What can I say "lychee martini anyone". The lychee martinis are awesome couple with happy hour until 10pm. The atmosphere and people are cool.
Actually one of my favorite places in NYC. Amazing drinks, prices and staff. Super fun and chill vibe. Highly recommend
Best Lychee martini in NYC. Happy hour is insane so get there early. And don't leave without trying the fried ginger wings!
Meg FarmerOctober 8, 2014Lychee martini is a must. Carlos is a great bartender. Draws an outgoing crowd. Enjoy happy hour and make a few new friends.
Dex BlumenthalJuly 17, 2015Once you come here, you will never go anywhere else. Best Bloody Mary on the planet. Culinary genius meets ideal atmosphere.
happy hour is lit. the lychee martinis are $6 now but still good.
- Leemor YuravlivkerAugust 10, 2019Good lychee martinis for $7 happy hour & $4 Narragansetts. Super loud but fun vibe
Carolina MachadoJune 19, 2014Best drink i ever had (rumbaud), nicest appetizers, great door man (really kind and friendly), miss somewhere like this here in brazil.- Jack OsborneOctober 1, 2018Doesn't matter if you're counting them as one of your five a day, do not binge eat their alcohol soaked Lychees. I learned this lesson the hard way.
Elaine RogersMarch 19, 2017Lychee cocktails for $6 until 10pm. What's not to like! Get the ginger shrimp and calamari
NYC EcloguesDecember 19, 2011Come in, relax & have a $4 Lychee Martini. If you're here that's your drink & you're looking to have a few. The food here is weak but the happy hour deals are extensive so you won't notice.
Yura LeeAugust 2, 2012It's a tiny place. If coming with a huge crowd, make a reservation. If not, watch out for waiters glaring at you. The lychee martinis are STRONG. 1-3 will leave you better than good.
Algernon BDecember 20, 2012Get the Lychee martini of course. It's even better during happy hour cause its only 5 bucks. Worth every penny.
PeiNovember 2, 2013Awesome happy hour...$5 cocktails! Non-divey lounge with dive prices...what's not to love?
$5 Lychee Martinis... These have to be the best ones in NYC. As well as the cheapest.
Harrison JohnsonJune 2, 2017Lychee martini is the key player here, great date spot, food is good too
J BSeptember 16, 2017The best cocktails in LES. Come for the lychee martini. Music not amazing though
Lychee martini happy hours are the best. Pretty good tapas to go with.
Chanel BrownDecember 28, 2014Lychee Martinis = yum ... great happy 7 days a week from 5 pm to 10 pm $6 drinks! Cannot beat it!
Ashlee HonAugust 6, 2014$6 lychee martinis, sangria, and wine during happy hour from 5-10pm. Make reservations to ensure you get a table!
- Chrissy KApril 10, 2018Their lychee martinis are dangerous. They’re so good you keep ordering them and then realize you’re waaay to drunk
Ashley TJanuary 19, 2013Amazing place..... Took only two lychee martinis to have me feeling good. Don't forget to eat the lychee
2Plus2NYCReviewMarch 17, 2011he Lychee is a beautiful thing, these drinks go down real quick, and the price helps them go down even quicker. check out the rest of our review and our night out. Read more
Dawnie NgoAugust 18, 2013They have lychee martinis rolling off the conveyer belts here. Everyone seems to be ordering that. And for $5, why not?
Sonie OsagieSeptember 21, 2013Amazing happy hour specials. Lychee martini is great, as is the chili salmon.
Sharon VAugust 14, 2015check out that happy hour! It runs late. Such a busy and buzzing place to be!
JC EarleMarch 7, 2010Really nice martini bar in a great area. It's nice and big but one of the waitresses is kind of a shrew. The bartenders are cool though. Tip: Go to the bar and get your own drink, service is slow
New York HabitatNovember 7, 2011This mellow LES lounge offers $5 drinks every night until 10PM. Try one of the martinis, kick back, and relax.
Keith is a doll, very attentive and sweet. But, if you're here on a Saturday ask for Xavier. Call him "The lawn mower" to see how he reacts.
