It was my first time. But it was clear it wasn't the first time for everyone else. "Tell your wife I said hi!" "Hey Mike, you can sit here. Did you work today?" "Good to see you, friend." This is the kind of place where you become a friend to the staff and owner. A place where your name is remembered. A place where you feel like you belong. And a place I plan to visit again. read more

La Caridad 72 - Fried chicken - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

Came out here for early Father's Day dinner, about 3/4 pm. We're here for some Cuban Chinese food. The menu was extensive with variety of Spanish style dishes and awesome Chinese style dishes. Appetizer with rib- oh my lord was that so good. Best ever, they don't make food like that!! For Dinner I got a good ole fav of egg fu young with yellow rice. The rice was ehh, for this Spanish gal but I'm sure there are folks who would love it. The gravy was thin not thick but great flavor. The hubs got shrimp in a red sauce with pepper and onions and fried rice. That was a 10/10. My DTR got the steak with fried rice. Boy was that delish- 10/10. We also got some drinks, they were good- Mojito was 6/10 Long Island 8/10. Place is 10/10- welcoming staff- attentive and great food. read more

Had a great experience here and glad we made the trip here. Trilingual (at a minimum) staff, so you know it's legit when the Spanish comes out flowing. Chinese Cuban joint, and it was fire. We enjoyed our entire time here, and the staff was great. NY prices, but portions are huge. It was a pleasant surprise in a city where I've eaten at too many places where the portions were small for the price. Food/$ ratio here was good. The mains were good, as well as the accompanying sides. The platanos were delightful, to give one example. The food also tasted good. If I was closer or was in the UWS during trips to the city, I'd be here more frequently. I'd definitely be back to try all the other things on the menu. read more

This was a very solid Hispanic, Asian fusion place on the UWS! The staff were super friendly and helpful, and most importantly, the portions were HUGE. The food was pretty good and came out super fast. If you're super hungry, looking for something not too expensive and unique, give this place a try read more

Came to La Caridad 72 with our inner circle Yelp crew and had a fabulous time. First off, let me thank Bea R. and Eloy Y., for the logistics and for recommending this wonderful Chinese/Cuban fusion restaurant. The eatery is very close to the red line subway stop, has very nice fusion decor, an overall cleanliness, a friendly and quick serving staff, and delicious food. We started with alcoholic drinks and they were VERY GOOD: Mojito, Margarita, and Piña Coladas. They were all served in much appreciated large glasses and well presented. The food selections were all shared and thoroughly enjoyed: Palomilla Steak with Fried Rice, Ox Tail, Bok Choy, Fried Chicken, Fried Calamari, and Avocado Salad. Thank you La Caridad 72, for treating us like royalty. We all delighted in your divine cooking and I hope this review will get thousands to experience what we enjoyed and appreciated. read more

I was told that this would be the greatest experience while in New York and indeed IT WAS! Asian Cuban infused is not much of a thing in the West Coast, so to experience it for the first time it felt like magic. We still dream about this place even now just writing about it. Shrimp Eggfoo young: 100/10 I have had my experiences with eggfoo young and I know I haven't tried all of East Coast version, but having this was THEEEE BEST. They weren't greedy with the shrimp or the gravy! Like HOW CAN YOU BEAT THIS PLACE?! Fried Pork Chop (Spanish plate): 10/10 3 pieces of pork chops on the bone. Served with yellow rice and black bean or pinto. My brother and husband ate the same thing and both cleaned their plates. It also comes with side lettuce, tomatoes and a sliced lemon. You put the lemon on the pork chops and veggies and eat them together. OMG, ITS LIKE NO OTHER. Crackling Chicken (bone-in): 10/10 fried to the perfect crisp with their sauce and a squeeze of lemon was all that you needed for this appetizer. I could honestly just eat it alone and wouldn't be mad - LOL! Overall: 100/10 the ambiance here is immaculate! This place hold a special place with the locals here and was lucky to have been brought here by NY natives who are originally from here. They all say, you haven't had a real NY experience without eating at La Caridada and they weren't lying. We came back the day before we left and grabbed another round before we went back to Da Bay. read more

La Caridad 72 provides Asian/Cuban based cuisine. We had avocado salad and calamari for appetizers. Calamari was crispy and had that salt/pepper flavor I like which was Cantonese style. Very good. We also had crackling chicken. Crispy outside and tender inside. I wish it comes with some sauce. Boychoy was good, simply sautéed dish. Fried fish with fried rice was great. Love the fish was soft and easy to break apart. Outside breading part was not soggy at all. Beef was not my favorite. I think the pepper came too strong and a little tough to chew. Ox tail stew was delicious and packed with flavors. Very tender. The service is excellent. We had a big group. They were attentive and friendly. Food came out quick and hot. Overall a great place for solo or groups. Many tables. Very spacious and clean. Bathroom is clean. read more

Cuban-Chinese cuisine was created by Chinese migrants in Cuba in the 1850s, blending flavors and it's in my blood.  After the Cuban Revolution in 1959, many left the island, and some established businesses in the US, mainly in New York City. These restaurants once inhabited Chelsea's Eighth Avenue, Broadway on the Upper West Side, and various main thoroughfares in the Bronx, Washington Heights, and Sunset Park. They numbered perhaps 50 at the height of their popularity. The establishment gives patrons a look into the past when Chinese and Cuban culture collided. One will find a Chinese menu, a Latin menu, and a section that meets in the middle, with combos like ropa vieja with fried rice or General Tso's chicken with fried green plantains. After 52 years in business located on 78th Street, the original La Caridad, meaning "charity" in Spanish, closed during the pandemic and shook the Upper West Side, where my father worked in the 90s. After a couple of weeks in discussion, we have decided to have lunch at the reincarnated La Caridad 72 situated on 72nd St. between Broadway and Columbus Avenue. A reservation was made by calling the restaurant. Upon entering this cozy, clean, and inviting atmosphere as first-timers, we were greeted by the staff and got a table. The menu includes vegetarian and gluten-free options. We decided to share the Fried Calamari, Avocado Salad, Oxtail Stew/Rabo, Beef Steak with Onions, Fried Chicken Crackling, Fried Breaded Fish, and Steamed Bok Choy. We washed them down with some Mojito, Pina Colada, and Margarita. Complimentary bread started our meal. Our eats were a healthy portion, savory and flavorful. The food tasted exactly as I remembered and was so good! The price was fair. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Most importantly, they didn't rush us. Get off the review section and just go. It is truly a neighborhood treasure! read more

We came here on Saturday noon to meet us some friends for group lunch. The restaurant wasn't too busy but we made reservation anyway. It was a cozy place with tables and booths. There was a small bar as well. In the walls they had lots of cultural artifacts. We started with some avocado and calamari. Both were good. Among the mains we ordered chicken cracking that came with such tasty avocado green sauce, the oxtail that had the meat peeling of the bones mixed in with delicious sauce, the delightful fluffy broiled fish filet, and well made beef steak. The side of fried rice, complimentary bread with butter added to the amazing dishes. We ordered few drinks like mojito, pina colada which were also good. We spent over two hours here, spending a great time. The staff members were very friendly throughout. We got some fortune cookie and guava candies at the end. They also packed our leftovers. Overall loved the whole experience here. read more

Came here for lunch on a weekday and was seated immediately. The interior feels like a neighborhood Chinese restaurant, down to the zodiac table liners. The servers are so friendly and attentive. They never pressured us when we asked for a few more minutes. (If you're in the area for a movie or show, this is a good spot to get in/out quickly.) As two people, we shared: * Fried Boneless Chicken Crackling - I'm usually not a fan of white meat because it can be rather dry but this chicken was so crispy without losing any of the softness in the meat. * Chinese Style Squid Fried Rice - I always get this when I'm at a chino-latino restaurant. It's less greasy than the version at Flor de Mayo and just as tasty. We left with very full bellies for $20 per person. Super affordable and will definitely be back. read more

I was craving for fried chicken wings and shrimp fried rice, and my brother recommended La Carisa's 72. it's the coolest, incredible west side cuban , Chinese cuisine that's delectable and best fried chicken wings I've had in a long time. And the delicious shrimp fried rice was so delicious too. The shrimp was tender and fresh. The atmosphere was electrifying and an exciting from all the very satisfied guests. I was meeting my brother for dinner because we had concert tickets for The Legend Mavis Staples at the Beacon Theatre. She and her incredible band, "Took us There" Tonight, New York City paid homage, and received the Legend with OPEN, and LOVING ARMS. Her special guests also included Nora Jones & Allison Russell.

I don't know what's happened here. The food used to be fantastic. Went in person and was super excited to go. Ordered my usual. Chicharon de pollo on the bone with house special fried rice. The chicken tasted super old. I was unable to tear the thigh meat it was stringy old, tasted old and was dried out. Absolutely disgusting. Egg drop wonton soup severely lacking in flavor salt and dare I say msg??? Like what the heck?! Wontons devoid of flavor. Soup devoid of flavor. The only redeeming item is the house special fried rice. Tasted just how it should. Fried green plantains no salt. I don't know what's happened here but this is probably the last time I eat or order here. I think the original chef may have retired or something because this was truly a horrible experience. I'm super saddened by what was once an amazing place to eat Cuban Chinese food. read more

Super disappointed to say that the food is absolutely inedible. We used to order food from here all the time and were excited to finally dine in. Everything we ordered was bland and horrendously disappointing. The food just wasn't good. The fried chicken tasted old--like it spent a year in a freezer. It had that distinct freezer burn taste that can't be covered up with anything. The meat was so tough, none of us could chew it. Wonton soup lacked salt and flavor. So greasy and congealing, it was inedible. Wontons were all dough--where's the pork? Horrible texture of the soup--it was like eating snot. I'm not being too graphic--we were truly disappointed. Ox tail stew had utterly bland tomato sauce and the meat was all old congealed pieces that had no chewable meat to them. What a waste of $33. Shrimp and fish tasted of freezer burn, again. Yellow rice was tasteless and greasy. Garlic sauce for the green plantains was made of worst quality pre-packed mass produced garlic. We were dying of dehydration the whole night after this meal. Which was disappointing since the food wasn't even salted or seasoned properly! Unbelievable. How could there not be a single redeeming feature to anything we tried?? Did the old chefs die? This was very sad. Do not waste your time or money here. read more

We stopped by on a Saturday night and the place was fairly busy. It's a small restaurant with three rows of tables. We tried the fried chicken and fried pork chops with fries and plantains. One piece of pork chop was super juicy and the other one was dry. The fried chicken had great seasoning and crisp but some of the smaller runty pieces were a little dry. Overall the portions are fairly large and you'll probably have leftovers. The staff were friendly and the food came out quick. read more

This place has so much history. I came here for a Yelp dinner event and left with a full heart and tummy! We got to try the fried chicken, squid fried rice, sweet plantains, fried yuka, and a yummy dessert. I didn't really see the Chinese side of the food being portrayed as much as the cuban side, but everything was still very delicious. I only got pictures of the fried chicken since I just devoured everything after that point. The company was great and I enjoyed mingling with other Yelpies. Service was top notch too as they were very on top of making sure we all had drinks and clear plates. The owner came out and shared his story of how he became involved in the restaurant and it was very refreshing! I will definitely be back when I am back in the area. read more

Came for lunch bc I wanted to try the Chicken Crackling (and see how it compares to La Dinastia). Got the Boneless crackling and also the chopped beef. The crackling was good, but I think I prefer Dinastia's w their green sauce. The chopped beef tasted a bit old, maybe a bad batch? Get the yellow rice though. Lunch special pricing is great- was around $13-15 per dish and comes with bread and butter. Service was good and food came out quickly. read more

When this restaurant was La Caridad 78, I could not wait to try it out. Unfortunately, tough times put this restaurant under, and I feared that my opportunity to try this unusual cuisine had passed. When I had heard that it reopened a few blocks from their original location, but with the same offerings, I knew I had to come and try it, which is exactly what I did. Super close to two subway stations of the same name (72nd street), I took the 2 train here and gave myself an early dinner to try some of their food. I took stock in their wonton soup and their Oxtail. I now realize some of their food is onion forward, but it is all delicious and served quickly, and that is why this review is a five star review and not a four star review. In addition, how many restaurants do you know of serve Chinese-Cuban cuisine? When I got the wonton soup, I found it hard to believe that it is served in a Cuban restaurant. Firm wonton, excellent pieces of pork, a nice clear broth, it really tasted amazing. I later read that I could have added noodles if I wanted to, but I chose not to as I knew I was getting the Oxtail. The Oxtail is served with rice, and not just ordinary fried rice, this rice had pieces of ham and shrimp in it! And it is a beautiful portion! Had I not been full from the soup, I would have shoveled this in, but since I had a rather heavy lunch, combined with the soup, I felt bad leaving most of it. Since I also live kind of far from this restaurant I had to leave it behind. The Oxtail is meaty, fresh, and full of flavor. The biggest telltale that this restaurant is a hit is all cultures ate here. Chinese, Hispanics, EVERYBODY! Oh, and everybody understands Spanish, which is REALLY COOL when you think about it. Chinese Cubans played a nice part in Cuban history, but I am not going to write about it here. That is what Wikipedia and Google are for. In the interim, I am happy to have finally eaten here and I look forward to coming back here and finding another delicious menu item to devour. read more

Wow it's only been 24 hours, but I'm shooketh at how good/underrated La Caridad is. I love how homey/lowkey/hole in the wall it feels when you enter and get seated; the menu can feel a bit overwhelming-one side is Chinese fusion and the other is more Cuban focused. I was a bit skeptical reading through the menu because I've never had Chinese Cuban food before, and usually Asian fusion food isn't done well. We ordered: Squid Ink Fried Rice General Tso's Fish Fillet with Yellow Rice Usually I'm not good at ordering at Chinese restaurants without my parents' guidance, but wow these two dishes are not given enough love nor written about enough. Even the man running the restaurant let us know that the fried rice is his favorite dish. The portions are good for the price (~$21/per) since we ended up with leftovers after. Although there is a pepper symbol next to the General Tso's on the menu, it is less on the spicy side and moreso sweet. Throughout our time dining in, there was a constant influx of people coming in and out; it feels like they are repeat customers. I would definitely come back to try their cocktails and lunch specials, and as I'm writing this review, I'm now craving a plate of their squid ink fried rice and fish fillet with yellow rice altogether... read more

Years ago I was a big fan of La Caridad in its previous incarnation. Chinese Cuban Cuisine is few and far between nowadays in Manhattan so any time you find a business that offers it I believe it is worth trying out. After it closed a few years ago I was saddened that another UWS institution had closed up shop and its flavors (seemingly) lost forever. Imagine my elation when I found out a couple years ago that the restaurant would be reopening on 72 street! I only get to go to the UWS every now and then, and my last couple attempts to get into the restaurant were thwarted by wait times that went far beyond what my hunger would allow. Now, almost two years after they reopened I was finally able to have dinner at La Caridad 72! It was a Saturday night so my partner and I were not sure we would get in, but we peeked through the window and saw several tables open so we went for it. We were seated right away by the very kind host. The space is MUCH different than their previous one. Their previous space has a "Chinese Takeout Greasy Spoon" decor and feel. This new space was built out for them with warm, wood tones and colors. Paintings and photos on the wall show off everything from generic scenes of a city to photos of their old location. It is very welcoming and comfortable. Also, much to my surprise, the booth we sat at had a power plug so I could charge my phone! Service was stellar with the staff bringing out everything we needed (utensils, water etc.) within a minute of us sitting down. They also kept my water glass filled throughout my meal without me having to ask AND provided extra napkins that I needed but hadn't asked for yet! Let's get into the food because it was AMAZING. SQUID FRIED RICE This amazing rice dish features rice with squid ink and shrimp with wonderful bits of ginger and (I'm pretty sure) a measure of a spicy oil to boot. It is packed with deep, savory flavor and the shrimp they use are a really good size. This is a "must have"! BOK CHOI with OYSTER SAUCE Usually most bok choi dishes are pretty plain. If you're lucky there's a somewhat tasty brown sauce. La Caridad kicks things up a notch. Their oyster sauce based brown sauce includes some garlic flavors that really make it extra tasty. The veggies are cooked perfectly with just the right chew. It's a simple dish, but done perfectly. PORK CHOPS Featuring three pork chops, some shredded lettuce and tomato with a choice of rice or plantains, we chose to get it with Maduros. The pork chops are not just seasoned and cooked up perfectly (with a crisp edge all around) but they *also* spoon chopped garlic over it which really sent the flavor into the stratosphere. Even better? The pork chops were NOT dried out but were cooked well without having the consistency of cardboard (which happens often at restaurants). The Maduros on the side were *addicting*. Perfectly cooked, sweet with crisp edges and a chewy center, just the way I like them. I have often said in my reviews that you know you're having an excellent meal if you instantly want to order it again and wish you could eat it all over again immediately. That is the case here and I highly recommend you do yourself a favor and check this place out! read more

I haven't been to this restaurant since they moved to the new location and I was very happy to see they were still around. My cousin had never had Chinese Latin food. So we had to go. Even in a snowstorm close to closing time the staff was as warm as friendly as I could remember back in the day when I first moved to new york. Hungry and covered in snow, we were offered paper towels to dry off, the restroom/sink area, glasses of water to refresh ourselves, and great selections of the menu. We ordered a plethora of items and everything tasted amazing is usual. Platters arrived piping hot and full. We ate until we wobbled, taking large to go boxes. My cousin is still talking about the green sauce that came with the chicken cracklin platter. I know I'll be back soon. That egg foo yung was epic. read more

Such a bad experience, starting from when the waiter tossed the menus on the table, as if I were some dog in need of a bone. I ordered beef with broccoli. HUGE FAIL! The beef tasted like it came off some unfortunate animal trapped in Central Park, and it was smothered in a grey-brown "sauce." The broccoli was limp and colorless, and the egg roll was cold. The fried rice had pieces that could crack a molar. For this horrible meal, I paid $30. Maybe it's because I was dining alone, and they give this stuff to wretched singles, or perhaps because it was 9 pm on Friday and one of the busboys took over the cooking, or maybe because this is just a really super duper bad place to get a meal. I wish I could get my money back. read more

Service was great. Sweet staff and very friendly! I saw this on Tik Tok & i definitely think it's worth a shot but it didn't meet the expectations that these influencers gave it.

Needed salt Beef Steak- was the best dish!!! Amazing!! Overall, this place is a staple in this community.

This is a very nice Chinese Latin fusion restaurant. A few friends and I came here for dinner. I decided to try the frozen Morir Sonando, which is an orange creamsicle like drink. It was refreshing and sweet, but I would have liked it to be a little thicker and more rich. For my meal, I ordered the Fried Pork Chop with Combination Special Fried Rice. The Pork Chop was a very generous size and it was wonderfully well seasoned. It was a little on the tough and dry side. The Fried Rice included shrimp, roast pork, ham, egg, onion, as well as scallion. The shrimp and pork were tender and full of flavor, but the rice itself was kind of bland. Service was good. Our waitress was helpful and had a great sense of flavor. We were well taken care of throughout our meal. The prices were pretty reasonable. I would like to return at some point to try the Beef Steak or Broiled Shrimp and Fish Combo. read more

The rice and beans, and the chicken soup, aren't notable. But the fried pork chops are attention-grabbing, providing juiciness and allowing you to quickly obtain the RDA of garlic. The entree is $23.
