    Five Spice Duck
    Al H.

    This is the first Chinese restaurant in New York that I know of, featuring the regional food of Toison. This is a mostly rural area in Guangdong Province. There are another two restaurants in Brooklyn of thos chain. This is the latest one opening recently in the Manhattan Chinatown on Mott Street just north of Canal Street. They cater to mostly an older set, as we saw families here on a Saturday afternoon. The noise level here is loud, as there are lots of hard surfaces reflecting loud conversations. We ordered from the menu, the most featured dish, the Five Spice Roast Duck. It is marinated in a delicious sauce and a half a duck is plenty to have and take home leftovers. The meat is tender but as with most duck, you eat around the bones. Not too salty and fairly lean for duck. We also ordered the curry beef brisket. This dish came smothered in onions. The beef was tender and delicious, but the tendons were rubbery, and I could not chew them. It was on the lunch special platter menu and came with a bowl of white rice. Service was quick and efficient. A pleasant surprise when I received the check, is there was a line for sales tax that read "tax is already included in the price" listed on the menu, so I felt it was quite reasonable.

    we were recommended to try this recently opened Toishan Restaurant, Yuan Zai Bing. We had their popular dishes - Claypot Rice with Yellow Eel - Five Spice Geese The Claypot Rice took 30min to prepare. The Geese was a lot less fat than Duck. Service was very good and polite. Worth a trip to try some new dishes.

Our favorites of the night were the salt and pepper chicken with scallion biscuits (jam was amazing, and the chicken was moist and fried perfectly), the walnut shrimp (super juicy and well-cooked, not too over-sauced), the pot stickers, and the cold sesame noodles which had great chew and a lovely, creamy sauce. The crudo was pretty small and nothing to write home about, and the eggplant and tofu curry were a bit under-seasoned for me. The bowls of rice we got to eat with the side dishes were also pretty mushy, as if the rice hadn't been properly rinsed before it was cooked, which was disappointing at $3 a bowl. Room for improvement! Still definitely a spot I'll recommend to friends looking for interesting takes on Chinese food! Service was attentive and smooth throughout the night, and we got some good suggestions on serving sizes for the group. Left stuffed and satisfied!

    Had a solid experience on Christmas (minus horrendous service, but what do you expect on a Chinese…read morerestaurant's busiest day), but a terrible one ordering in delivery. I ordered in some rice rolls and the soy sauce chicken with rice dish. The rice rolls were minuscule and the shrimp ones not fully deveined. The real problem was the soy sauce chicken. This was the most flavorless dish I've ever ordered from a Chinese spot. Dry as can be and no sauce could save it. Might return, but only for dim sum.

    I've always passed by Moon Kee and one day had to fulfill my cravings for dimsum, so glad I dropped…read moreby to try their dishes! Friend of mine is a little more familiar with the cuisine so I entrusted our order to her and we got the following: Crystal shrimp dumpling (5/5): now this is saying something because I'm not the biggest fan of shrimp, but these dumplings were so juicy and savory, without having the heaviness or doughiness of other dumplings Pan fried turnip cake with pork (3.5/5): personally not my cup of tea, but my friend loves turnip cake and I was down to give it a try. It's also very savory/umami-y, goes well with the dipping sauces, and I'd say the texture is on the thicker side - I'm not quite sure how to describe the taste, but overall an interesting experience. Chicken chow-fun (4.5/5): I love this wide (rice?) noodle that they use, reminds me of pad see ew with the hints of soy but with chicken. It also had bean sprouts (or mung beans? one of the two), green onions (or scallions? gah I get so confused), and onions. I'm a glutton for vegetables, so I wish it had more variety of veggies but nonetheless still really enjoyed this dish and would definitely get it again! They were honestly quite busy on a weekday afternoon, but service was super sweet and loved the overall vibes inside, would love to come again!

This place is small cute and cozy good for celebrations, families, dates or friends just getting together for lunch or dinner. My server went above and beyond to meet our needs. Grab your camera the bathroom selfie is a must it's so cute in there, but I didn't come here for that so let's get to it! I had their smashed garlic cucumber and that was super tasty after we had their mapo tofu with minced beef! Cooked to perfection the sauce was spicy and delicious paired well with white rice. My little one had their vegetable steamed dumplings and those were phenomenal! Then for dessert we had their new custard carrots omg it was light crispy and the custard was so light and sweet! We also had their special truffle chocolate animal ice cream. Rich and creamy chocolate ice cream so beautiful we didn't want to dig into it but we tore it up! I will go back to try some other dishes like I said I ran into this place not in the plans but turned out to be a delicious run.

    This is a great place for authentic chinese food. There is a bit of wait but we got seated sooner…read morethan we expected. The decor is on point and portions are family style. We started with egg drop soup and calamari. For mains we got sweet and sour pork, stir fried green beans, and crispy noodles with beef. Egg Drop Soup- Deliciously creamy and silky. This hits on a cold day. Calamari- Nice chewy calamari pieces with a crisp breading. You get a strong black pepper flavor that gives it a little zing. Sweet and Sour Pork- Crispy deep-fried pork pieces that were tender and juicy. The sauce is the perfect blend of sweet and tangy. Very tasty. Stir-fried Green Beans- This was wonderfully fresh. You still get a light crunch out of the beans and a garlicky finish. Crispy Noodles with Beef- Noodles were delightfully crisp with a savory sauce. The beef pieces were tender. Overall flavors and textures were lovely. Great experience overall!

    This lap cheong bamboo baked rice is my dream meal for under $11!!…read more Congee Village s a longtime chinatown staple (30 years strong!), serving family style cantonese dishes, dim sum, congee, and rice at reasonable prices. We also get a free mung bean sweet soup at the end. I've been to their Flushing location for dim sum before, but their entrees are even better imo. *Chinese Sausage Bamboo Baked Rice 金銀臘腸燉飯 $10.95 ** Such amazing value! So much lap cheong (chinese sausage/臘腸) and lap yuk (chinese cured bacon/臘肉) piled on top of seasoned rice. The rice soaked up all the oil from lap cheong and the sauces. *Sha Cha Beef and Vermicelli in Casserole 沙茶牛肉粉絲煲 $22.95 ** Almost every table ordered a casserole, and I was surprised by how much beef they packed in. The vermicelli noodles held onto the sauce well. Easily a "rice thief" dish *Sampan Congee 荔灣艇仔粥 $8.50 * The congee came out boiling hot. It was velvety, and loaded with toppings like shredded duck. Definitely eat it fresh though, because the heat from the clay pot makes the bottom start to stick together quickly. *Sauteed Lobster with Sticky Rice 糯米炒龍蝦 $48.95 (MP) * Many people rave about their lobster sticky rice online. It came with so many huge chunks of lobster so you can get your money worth it. There might be more lobster than sticky rice. It was also easy to pick the meat out with just a fork. *Fried Squid with Salt and Pepper 椒鹽鮮魷 $18.95 I wish it had a bit more salt and pepper, but otherwise the fried batter was thin and crispy. I've also never seen fried squid come in such huge, meaty pieces! *Honey Walnut Shrimp 核桃蝦球 $24.95 Skip. Walnut shrimp is usually a go-to, but this one was just okay.
