    AYCE spread
    Stacy T.

    The place is very compact. The table is barely large enough for 4 adults and we have to put our jackets in a black bag that keeps toppling over. The sauce bar is pretty limited. I came from AYCE lunch special on Thursday for $30 per person. It includes broth and soda. The spicy broth and pork bone broth was very good quality. It added a lot of flavor to the cooked items. The selection for AYCE was pretty good, but the quality of beef decreased as our meal progressed. I did like their fish balls with roe, very soft. Overall, I don't think I would come here for dinner but maybe a AYCE lunch with just one other person because the table was so small

    It's more of a 3.5 star for me.. place is pretty nice,can be taken care more especially the front area. Service was excellent, servers were very nice and attentive. The food..hmm..it's alright. Soup was pretty good, but not very memorable, sauce was alright, meat and vegetable was quite good. But the overall food experience was just okay for me.. Not saying never, but unsure if I'll come back.. Didnt order any beverage,I ended up paying around $55 with tax and tips.

    Very good ayce hot pot in China town. Lunch is super affordable. The soup base was good, not hi di laow, but still good. What was the real stand out was the meat selection! I'm usually not a huge fan of the meats at ayce places.. they're usually of lower quality... not here. They were really good. The beef with egg was on the thinker side and very good. The lamb and beef were delicious. The pork belly was the most disappointing... they greens were limited.. only 2 kinds, but the dumplings were yummy, the had most of the mushroom varieties... you can keep ordering on the tablet, and they're very efficient. The sauce bar is included and not an extra. The glutinous rice dessert can be skipped though.. come hungry.

    One of the best lunch deal in town for $29.99. Cute second Chendu deco for Marla delight. The quality of the meat, veg, choices it's above your avg all can eat 5/5 The service is polite and quick to change dishes & follow up. 5/5. I will come back with my family for sure

    My first hot pot experience, and it was great! Da Long Yi felt authentic, and we certainly got our money's worth. The menu here is quite extensive, you have your pick of meats, seafood, sides, and vegetarian options, as well as an assortment of broths to cook with. There were also desserts that sounded good, but we didn't have any room left to try them. There's a sauce station toward the back of the restaurant, it felt a little 'Red Lobster' in terms of the communal aspect, and got quite crowded during peak dinner. But it was nice to have good options for dipping. The food looked and tasted fresh, hard to hide bad ingredients when they come out raw for you to cook at the table! You'll probably spend around $50-60 per person for a good amount of food, not including drinks. Not a bad spot for a big hot pot meal!

    Food: This is one of my favorite hot pot restaurants in NYC! I came for their AYCE lunch special for $29.99 per adult (children are $19.99). There are 52 items included as well as drinks (canned sodas) and broth. This lunch special is a great deal because one can easily spend $70/person ordering a la carte here. Without the lunch special, this place usually charges for the broth. Two items, beef with egg and handmade shrimp paste, is limited to one per table. Other hot pot items include chicken, beef, lamb, pork belly, fish balls, veggies, taro, tofu, fried tofu skin rolls, noodles, lotus root, quail eggs, and more. The lunch special is only for Monday through Thursday from noon to 3 PM. The last seating is at 2:30 PM. I would also recommend this place when they don't have their lunch special as long as you don't mind paying more. The quality at this place does make up for the cost. Service: Service was excellent here. The staff were attentive and so friendly. They came by to refill the soup constantly without me having to ask. Their iPad also has a button to call waitstaff which is a nice feature. Ambiance: The decor and feel of the restaurant is beautiful. Seating is comfortable and spacious. They don't seem to have big tables so if you come as a large group, you might have to sit at separate tables. Each side of the table has drawers for napkins and a side shelf/table in case your dishes can't fit on the table itself. A very thoughtfully designed place. Overly, I highly recommend this restaurant!

    Very good hot pot and even better service. Really enjoyed the food here and they had great soup bases as well.

    Pork bone and tomato soup. I only remembered to take a pic after I was done eating

    Good stuff! Went in for the Ayce deal on a weekday and the food filled me up. Would consider coming back to solo dine next time since the portions are pretty great for 1 person. I know they should be known for their hot pot but their fried mantous in condensed milk was OOF. Each serving comes with 3 mini mantous so order away if you like fried mantous like I do. P.S you can ask for aprons if you don't want to get your clothes dirty.

    Stopped by for lunch on a rainy Sunday. We got there pretty early (right when they opened) so there were plenty of seats available. Decor inside is nice and clean (the ornate style that a lot of Chinese restaurants have nowadays). Overall, our meal was pretty good but just rather pricey. Some highlights: The prime beef slice might have been one of the cheaper meat options but was really good, def just get this. In contrast, we also ordered the angus rib eye which was rather dry and not that flavourful. Fish tofu was nice but really quite pricey for just 6 pieces :( Same comment for the fish roe balls that we ordered, too. The veggie platter was a decent variety/amount of food, but if I were to go again, I'd probably choose to order specific veggies I liked instead (platter was quite expensive for the amount). I liked the broth - we got half pork leg bone and half spicy - which was really rich and aromatic. To be clear, I do think everything tasted fine. The price point (if it's not clear already) is just definitely on the high side - it came out to be ~$50 per person for the three of us :\ I think hot pot is getting more and more expensive nowadays so perhaps I have some acclimating to do, but I'm sure there are just as good and cheaper options available still.

    Came here on a raining Saturday for lunch, and it surprisingly wasn't too packed. This is actually one of my first few times getting non-AYCE hot pot. There was a pretty large variety of items to choose from, they had all the classic items I usually order and my group even chose some items I'd never had before. The quality overall felt pretty good, although some of the cuts of beef we ordered was a little on the tougher side. Service was also amazing and incredibly friendly, it probably also helped that the place wasn't too crowded.

    VIP room (birthday dinner)

    Came here for a friend's birthday dinner in their "VIP" room, and had such a blast! They have a wide selection of drinks (I'd recommend the Lunar lychee hard seltzer!). For hot pot, we got the triple base option (one spicy, two nonspicy) and a bunch of meat and veggie dishes. All the ingredients were super fresh and delicious! My favs were lotus root slices, taro, and fish balls. The service was excellent - the server even put all our jackets and coats into a plastic bag ahead of time to avoid getting the hot pot "fumes" over them. Because it was my friend's birthday, they also came in to surprise her with a neon lights birthday sign and a song. We also tried some of their desserts including a really good sweet soft tofu soup.

    DLY is a chain from China, but Haidilao it is not. I wouldn't even compare the two, but they're kinda gunning for the same vibe with the elegant, modern decor and set-up. We got the Double Flavor Spicy Beef Tallow and Pork Feet soup bases, though I mostly avoided the former because I wasn't feeling like purging my insides for the next 48 hours. But even if I had, I don't think I would've liked DLY's version, which was way too oily even by mala hot pot standards. The Pork Feet soup was fine, but not distinguishable from every other version I've had. We split the Value Combo for 2, which would definitely not be enough food if both of you are starving. We tacked on taro and winter melon as well. Everything was fresh and prepared well, but no different than any other upscale hot pot spot in the city. My main gripe was that at 5:30pm, they were already out of several of the base items, forcing us to have to pay extra to choose something else from within the Combo options. And there are a lot of upcharges if you want something even slightly better. Total bill was $69pp. I've paid less for more. At least Haidilao gives you ice-cream.

    Tomato hot pot
    Neha M.

    SO GOOD! Even as a vegetarian there were so many options - the tomato broth can be made without pork base. There's lots of tofu (def get the tofu skin) and vegetables. There's so many skewers as well

The sour cabbage beef soup was interesting! It tasted nice and beefy, but was a bit too sour for me. The lemon dessert was my favorite! It was a cheesecake mousse with lemon curd in the middle~ so pretty and tasty! Service was top tier! I'd recommend coming here for the vibes!

The eggplant was 10/10; the eggplant was cooked well, so tender but not soggy. The sauce was really good too such that it was sufficient spice but not flaming. Would recommended. I enjoyed the cucumber salad and tofu as well, but have had better. Seasoning and prep were good though -- although the tofu was cooked so tender (or maybe was silken tofu to begin with) that the whole table was struggling with carrying it from plate to mouth -- heh. Food came out very quickly; staff were friendly, efficient, and helpful. Decent amount of seating with a cozy vibe. It was a good meal, not my favorite Szechuan spot, but definitely hit the spot.

The ambiance is nice and very roomy, clearly targeted towards a younger crowd. Presentation of all the dishes was good too. As for the food, I guess it's a good option if you're not used to traditional Chinese food and looking to try it? The flavors were definitely more catered to an American palate (as my sister put it, it felt like an American restaurant with Chinese dishes-- from the decor to the lack of complimentary tea or rice, menu was written only in English, vast majority of customers were non-Asian, none of which is /bad/, but if you're looking for a more traditional Chinese restaurant, Antidote isn't it). Onto the dishes-- the favorite hands down was the sliced pork with garlic sauce, which was beautifully plated and super flavorful. DongPo pork belly was very tender, just much sweeter than I'm used to. The green peppercorn fish had lots of numbing spice and the fish was very tender; it just wasn't as sour or spicy as I was hoping. Crab tofu was basically all yolk flavor and no crab flavor (not surprising, given how little crab they added). Sautéed pea shoots were very fresh and cooked well. Cocktail list is also super solid. Dessert was a let down-- we ordered the espresso crème brulee, which had absolutely no brûlée (tasted more like a vaguely coffee flavored flan).
