    Branzino
    Taylor D.

    The food was phenomenal. So delicious, we started with the cucumbers which were very savory and refreshing, I could've eaten them all night. The oxtail buns were flaky and warm, and the oxtail meat was very tender. I also loved the salt and pepper shrimp, the sauce on top was warm and a mix of sweet and savory. And of course the lobster noodles were absolutely to die for. They were garlicy and came in a lobster carcus... and the noodles were perfectly al dente.

    Came here for my birthday celebration, beware that there is a 50$ cake fee (any size). We were seated at the top, not the main dining room, which was unfortunate, but the environment was still gorgeous. However, the service was incredibly slow, it took nearly 2.5 hours for all the main entries to come out (we were seated at 8:30 and didn't finish our meal until almost 11). The food itself was incredible - I highly recommend the burrata and the eggplant - but I don't think I would come back to visit tbh.

    10/10 would highly recommend. I would recommend getting a reservation! AMBIANCE First off the restaurant is beautiful. It has two levels and you would never know what's inside based on the outside. Perfect for date night or just having a nice dinner. Definitely wouldn't come here in sweatpants. SERVICE Service was pretty on point there was times a server disappeared a little when we needed something, but there is waitstaff circulating and willing to help so there's always someone that will get what you need. FOOD The food. TO DIE FOR! They offer complimentary hot tea which was also delicious and our drinks were unique and really good. I got the Mott Collins and my friend got Ting's gift shop. Everything was absolutely delicious. Expect the crispy eggplant. The sauce that they put it in made the eggplant soggy which made the eggplant not crispy at all. I think they should just drizzle it on top or put it on the side instead of a big pool at the bottom. Besides that I got out of my comfort zone and tried so much and nothing disappointed! Soooooo good. We got Spicy cucumbers, Vegetable spring rolls, Dan Dan noodles, Johny Fried rice, Chicken stir fry, Crispy Eggplant. 10/10 experience and will absolutely be back.

    Lovely date night or celebratory spot - the ambience is everything. Everything is shareable! Make sure you have your entire order ready to put everything in at once. We got the oxtail buns, purse dumplings, dan dan noodles, pork char siu, johny fried rice, crispy eggplant, and snapper. The crispy eggplant was my favorite. It was all really good, my only critiques would be to warm up the oxtail buns more as they could've been hotter and the Dan Dan noodles could've used a little extra kick to diversify the flavor. Service was incredible, our waitress was lovely checking in often and offering to take photos of us.

    Gorgeous place! Fancy fusion Chinese food. The garlic squid ink noodles were delicious and such a fun take. Wonton soup was served in a teacup so cute. Really unique space in Chinatown! There's not many that are nice quality with good ambiance for Chinese food. Great use of space. It was a bit loud though as the night went on. Great for a nice night out. Check out opera house speakeasy below for the complete experience!

    Came here for a birthday dinner, the restaurant was lovely and felt like an escape from New York City into an intimate establishment far away, amazing ambiance. The service was extremely attentive and caring. The food was just okay, in my opinion, for the portion size the value just wasn't there. I also didn't like that the items didn't come out together, but eating my meats with my sides is a personal preference. My favorite items on the menu were the oxtail buns and the specialty drink "year of the horse". Would definitely return for these two items.

    Roasted Duck

    Chinese Tuxedo was an incredible dining experience overall. We were visiting NYC and stopped in for dinner--initially couldn't get a reservation, but one opened up on Resy through Global Dining (definitely worth it). Everything we ordered was fire. We had the Shanghai spring rolls, pork dumplings, oxtail buns, Johnny fried rice, gai lan, sweet & sour crispy prawns, and the half roast duck--honestly enough food for two days. The standout dishes were the Johnny fried rice, loaded with shrimp and pork floss (easily a meal on its own), and the half roast duck, which was cooked perfectly. The decor is beautiful and the overall vibe is on point--the music selection alone deserves recognition (someone clearly curated it with intention). My only critique is the timing of the food. Dishes are brought out as they're prepared, but that wasn't communicated to us. The duck ended up coming out just as we were getting ready to leave. That said, it made for a great lunch the next day. Overall, highly recommend--just be aware of the pacing of the meal.

    The service was good. Food is more Asian fusion. There's two sub basement levels. It was quite dark in there. My eyes took sometime to adjust to the dim lighting. We had the tofu bok choy- very tasty. The pork belly- it was good but the skin was not crunchy and was chewy, the cha sui was lean. The gluten free dessert was amazing. It's citrusy and all textures - chewy, mousse - like , shaved ice , jelly. Worth trying.

    Apparently, this is a very popular place in a quiet little block in Chinatown. From the outside, it looks like a small place but it's a really big restaurant and very intimate low setting light, which I always enjoy the romance. The food was delicious. I love the way they presented the food. Dumplings was in little tea cups order what you need to order too much because it is shareable food. The service was great. They was quick with bringing out the food quick with cleaning up the table. If there's an empty dish on your plate, somebody will come by and pick that up real quick. They are very attentive. it's just a nice way to enjoy food with a group of friends and have a great time.

    10/10 ! On everything! The dinging room is gorgeous. The service is impeccable. The food is to die for. This was our first time and we loved it. Perfect birthday dinner. Our server gave great recommendations. We ordered a bunch of stuff but the star of the show was the Oxtail Bun and the Crab Noodles. My goodness! CHEF, we love you girl!! Wow. Everything went perfect with our white wine and we also had tea which felt great. Great job guys!

    Crispy Eggplant
    Alison A.

    The inside of the restaurant is so beautiful and the service was very fast. The eggplant was my favorite of the order and had an amazing crisp and texture. The Dan Dan noodles were good, however I wanted a little more meat. The duck was also very good, not fatty at all, and extremely filling

    Food review: 4/5 Service: 2/5 I'm usually not someone who cares that much about bad or slow service because I get it can get chaotic but this was a whole new level of slow/bad service. Had a reservation for Friday night at 9PM but didn't get seated until 9:45 which was pretty frustrating. I understand waiting 15-20 mins but 45 mins when I have a reservation is ridiculous. Food and drinks were good but again our waitress was just slow. Also it gets really loud so you will find yourself screaming across the table just to get a word in!

    I've never heard of this place but my friends took me here for dinner last night! I felt like a celebrity very hidden in china ton, the block is closed off to cars and feels very mysterious in a way. We had a reservation and as soon as we walked in we were seated right away although the full group wasn't there. I thought that was pretty cool bc I've been at places where you can't sit until the full guests are complete. The dining are was a big open space. Dim lighting, kind service. Our waiter was super friendly and recommended all the dishes we ordered -- we had quite a few and everything was really good. The portions were small for 5 of us.m so we ordered multiple items. One my favorite dish's was the steak and I don't even eat meat but it was so juicy and tender.

    Fish Cheeks in NoHo is my go-to destination for high-end, innovative Thai food in New York City…read more The restaurant takes a decidedly contemporary approach to Thai cuisine, with a menu that highlights bold regional flavors rather than the familiar, standardized dishes found at many American Thai restaurants. The happy hour menu is excellent, and the cocktail program is equally creative. On my most recent visit, I tried the Nam Gin Martini--unusual, beautifully balanced, and delicious. If you're dining solo, I recommend sitting at the bar, where the talented bartenders are happy to offer excellent mixology advice. There are several dishes I especially recommend. The Zabb Wings are crispy fried chicken wings tossed in a spicy, tangy dry rub of toasted rice powder, chili, lime, and mint. They're intensely flavorful and highly addictive. The Steamed Whole Fish is another standout: a whole branzino swimming in a vibrant, intensely aromatic broth of fresh chili, lime, mint, garlic, and culantro. The pork belly with chili and garlic is another dish worth ordering if you're looking for something rich, spicy, and deeply savory. Fish Cheeks was founded in 2016 by Thai immigrants--brothers Chef Ohm and Chat Suansilphong, along with Jenn Saesue and Pranwalai Kittirattanawiwat. The restaurant was born from their frustration with the homogenized "one-page" menus that dominated American Thai dining, which often centered on sweeter, standardized dishes such as Pad Thai and Massaman curry. Even the name reflects the restaurant's philosophy. The fish cheek is considered one of the most tender, flavorful, and prized parts of the fish in many Asian culinary traditions. When Fish Cheeks opened at 55 Bond Street, the team famously adopted a strict "no Pad Thai" policy, encouraging diners to explore regional Thai specialties and seafood dishes such as crab curries and whole steamed fish. It was a bold gamble that paid off, earning critical acclaim, including recognition from The New York Times. In 2022, Executive Chef Dustin Everett, formerly of Momofuku Ssam Bar and Pig & Khao, took over the kitchen, introducing seasonal dishes while preserving many of the restaurant's signature favorites. The experience extends beyond the food. Fish Cheeks plays contemporary Thai pop music, giving the restaurant a lively, distinctly modern atmosphere. It feels energetic without losing its connection to Thai culture. One important thing to know: this is not the restaurant for you if you're looking for Pad Thai. Fish Cheeks is about pushing beyond the familiar and discovering the bold, complex flavors of Thai regional cooking. The restaurant is popular, especially during peak dining hours, so reservations are highly recommended. Sitting at the bar for a cocktail and a few dishes or settling in for a full meal with friends, I always find Fish Cheeks to be one of my favorite places in NoHo for adventurous, sophisticated Thai food.

Ambiance: This place has a nice ambiance, definitely very "New York" -- dark (you can't see how dirty the floor is) and loud music (maybe too loud). We sat upstairs (we had a reservation) and of all the people on the top there was a party of 4 (us), a party of 8 (all dudes celebrating something) and the rest of the tables were on a DATE - which I thought was funny. Service: We were served by Ann-Marie who was so delightful. She was kind, super nice, and took the time to speak to us (which is basically how we figured out she wasn't a native New York City person). She gave us good food suggestions and we were very happy with our selection. Food: Here is what we ordered * Steak Frites: My two boys got the steak frites and I have to say the steak was awesome! I had a bite of each of theirs and they each ordered it differently (one Medium Rare/Medium and one Medium) and they both were prepared PERFECTLY. The fries were overflowing. * Caeser Salad with Salmon: My wife got the salad with Salmon (they only have a few salad options) and she enjoyed it. * Prawn and Crab Risotto: I got this and I have to say it was VERY bland. I wouldn't get this if you are looking for taste. I had to put salt and pepper on it to make it have any semblance of taste. Value/Price: I would say this is not over priced but it is not cheap either...bill is attached.
