Went to La Nueva Victoria with a group of friends afterwork. It looks like a basic New York Chinese restaurant but with a lot more real estate, so more people can dine. We were seated quickly and the waitress was super ready to collect our order. They had Chinese Zodiac paper plate mats, which I thought was cute. Collectively we ordered Shrimp and Green beans, sweet plantains, sesame chicken and broccoli, pollo saltado and the seafood platter. Everything was tasty and enjoyable. Its cool that you could see the fusion of chinese and latin cuisine. read more

Well, now that I know about that Butta, we will make the drive if it's feasible. The "pink drink" is crazy strong and worth the possibility of getting a parking ticket (well, maybe not a Manhattan ticket, but you get the drift). Aside from that drink however, I can not in good conscience, suggest their food. We ordered some food to pick up for dinner and none of it was good. The prices are crazy and everything was bland, greasy and tasted old. We had fried rice, lol mein and fried chicken pieces. None of it was good. Their vegetables are expensive also, and equally bad. We didn't even end up eating the food. Most of it went in the trash. It was so disappointing. We'll always come back for the drinks (cash only) but I don't think I'll be eating any food from this place, ever in life again. read more

My husband ate here many years ago when the previous owner was still there. He raved about how delicious the chinese-spanish foods were. We came here over the weekend & tried a few of their items: 1) garlic shrimp w/ yellow rice, 2) stewed beef w/ tostones. Garlic shrimp w/ yellow rice - There was 8 pieces of shrimp in a tin bowl of oil & garlic. The shrimp was a little overcooked but still juicy, but super oily w/ some garlic taste. The yellow rice was a bit on the soggy side. It tasted more chinese than spanish. I wouldn't reorder this if I came back. Stewed beef w/ tostones - the stewed beef was tender but seasoned ok. The potatoes & carrots in the stewed beef were the star of the dish, which is sad. The potatoes and carrots sucked up all the seasoning and juice that it was very delicious. The tostones was also on the soggy side (not crunchy) and the garlic oil dip was ok (not flavorful). This dish also tasted more chinese than spanish. I also would not reorder this if I came back. Overall, we were both disappointed in the foods. The quality was lacking & also the portion was small for the price. I know.. inflation sucks. Staff was very nice & attentive. There was one person who spoke Spanish well. Comfy booths for dining in. read more

Worse place to go, they were completely unorganized, their food portions were very small, the price was too high, you had to constantly ask them for missing food items. Spent over $600.00 for a family funeral gathering. We spoke to the manager, she was totally unfit to handle a large gathering and was not attentive not suggest this place. Please always read the reviews before going to any restaurant, we made this mistake, referred by another family that did not come. Our food portions were not as you see the pictures of other reviewers shown. read more

For native NYers this is simply the BUTTA Spot! No other name or description needed. Don't believe me, you can now Google "butta spot" and see what comes up. For those of us that "grew" here this is where you came back in the day for a great drink. Before nutcrackers were a thing and most definitely before Covid and drinks to-go were ever consider a legal option. One of those old-school spots that just hits. Nothing fancy, simple and clean... just good food and fast to the point service and the Butta drinks are always on point. This place just brings back such nostalgia. Now I must admit what is far from nostalgic is the "2025" Butta prices. After many years the prices were a shock upon my recent return. I remember when you could get a Butta for.... Nevermind I was about to date myself. LOL. Besides the Butta the wings are also still a must for me. Since I came mainly for the butta, I only grabbed wings. Of course even the food prices have seen an increase. Our server was funny and friendly, matching the restaurant's simple laid-back vibe. Just one of those places you have to return to because it brings back that touch of nostalgia that is sometimes needed with the passing of time. Just A Note: -They do offer some lunch specials before 3pm. -The drinks are a smidge... just a smidge cheaper if you dine in. read more

Stopped by during the week since it was so beautiful out. The place itself is no frills but spacious. We walked in and were seated right away. We ordered iced tea, chicken wings, shrimp fried rice, pork fried rice, sesame chicken, and beef and broccoli. The chicken wings were freshly made and super crispy, really enjoyed them. The sesame chicken and pork fried rice were also standouts. We could have skipped the beef and broccoli. I do wish the broccoli was steamed a bit more, but that could be personal preference. The iced tea was also really good, it brings you back for sure! Slightly more expensive than your neighborhood Chinese food, but expected based on the location. Overall, if you're in the mood for some nostalgic comfort food, I would definitely stop by. read more

We came in for a late lunch and luckily it was not very crowded. They have some good lunch specials that you can order until 3pm. I went with the house special fried rice with sweet plantains and salad. My friend ordered tostones for the table. The tostones were a bit on the dry side but they did come with a nice garlic sauce on the side. I liked the fried rice, it had a combination of chicken, pork, shrimp and was flavorful. The sweet plantains were delicious and so was the broccoli. The salad was just iceberg lettuce and tomatoes. The bathrooms are located downstairs which is something to consider if you have mobility issues. The service was attentive and friendly. We were a group of 6 and everyone seem to enjoy their food. The prices are reasonable considering the area and the portions were good. We enjoyed our lunch and would come back to try out more of the menu. read more

I finally made it to the hyped-up restaurant, and here's my take. If you drink their "Buttah" drink all the way to the end, they could serve you noodles with ketchup, and it would still feel Michelin-star-worthy. That drink should honestly be called Hercules because it's strong and potent. There's a lady behind the counter secretly adding who-knows-what, but she was definitely pouring a lot of liquor, some sour orange, and mixing in pineapple and coconut. The inside of the restaurant has a classic diner vibe; nothing fancy, but it works. My server, Daniel, was nice. Service wasn't over the top, but he was generally pleasant. My phone was almost died, so I couldn't take as many photos of the food as I wanted, but the person behind the counter even helped me charge it, which was a nice touch. Onto the food: The Cracklin' Chicken had great texture and a nice cut of meat, but it was a bit bland. I had to add BBQ sauce, black pepper, hot sauce, and some lemon from my salad to bring it to life. The Chicken Lo Mein was good but not worth the nearly $19 price tag. I do think the place is overpriced for what you get. Now, about the Buttah drink is definitely the highlight. It was the most expensive thing I ordered, and while I didn't finish it, I still have some in the fridge. I got the small, and even that was strong enough to feel like a champion if you finish it. So, yes, I'd come back just for the drink. But everything else was underwhelming for the price. If it wasn't as expensive, I'd probably return more often. Overall: Worth a visit for the drink, but the food doesn't quite live up to the hype, especially for the price. I also want to add many were ordering seafood; crabs, lobster and shrimp which I can't have. Maybe their seafood is food? Or maybe after one of their drinks it's ahhhmazing (since everyone had a buttah) read more

La Nueva Victoria is one of those old-school spots that just hits. Nothing fancy--just great food and fast service. The Butta drinks are always on point. My friend tried the Blue Hawaiian for the first time and really liked it. He also had the broiled shrimp with the house special fried rice and cleaned his plate. I went with the broiled seafood and the same rice--no complaints at all. Solid flavor, good portions. The vibe is chill, the kind of place you keep coming back to. read more

The good is generally big portions, generous seating, Cantonese food and good drinks. The bad is fairly high prices and inconsistent times of operation. Ambiance is minimal and service can be attentive or lackadaisical depending on who is waiting on the day. There are so many better places to visit in this area this would never be my first choice. read more

I came for the experience, and it was good, from the service to the food and drink. I am not an avid drinker, so the BUTTA drink took me out. I sip and add ice, but nothing dulls the strong alcohol taste. If you love Hennessy, this drink was made for you. The fries, chicken wings, fried dark mouth-watering, and the shrimp fries were okay but missing vegetables to enchant the taste. The server was funny and friendly, matching the restaurant's laid-back feeling. The ambiance of La Nueva Victoria was simple and clean, giving the impression of Sunday dinner with the family. read more

Again one of my favorite places . Ordered to go , wait time to receive the food was approximately 15 minutes . I love their seafood . The staff is always pleasant . Ordered the lobster tail dish that came with shrimp fried rice a salad & boiled shrimps . I also ordered a half and half (iced tea and lemonade ). My fiancé ordered egg foo young and a Butta (their famous alcoholic drink ) and my daughter ordered the orange chicken and yellow rice . We also ordered a hot and sour soup . Everything was really good . I really enjoyed the lobster tail , shrimps and shrimp fried rice. FYI If you want to get the half roasted chicken go early as it tends to sell out by the evening hours . (We originally came in for the roasted chicken ) read more

It's been 30 years I haven't been to this restaurant, so I figured I give it another try. Now I see why.... The special fried rice for $22 had 4 small shrimps, 3 small pieces of chicken, smaller pieces of pork and no beef. Oh I forgot a few strands of lettuce and it wasn't tasty at all. No veggies. No nothing. What a Rip-off !!!! Never Again !!! read more

The food is always consistent. Been coming here 10 years +! The service needs work but the food makes up for it. The lobster was fresh and seasoned well. Pepper steak is so good. Can't go wrong with their fried chicken. They let you pick your lobster as well from the tank. I'll always come here. read more

I met a friend at this restaurant for lunch. When I arrived I found parking on the street nearby. I walked in and was greeted and sat. We started with some drinks and I had the LIT and red wine which I enjoyed. For my meal, I had the lunch meal of the spicy shrimp, which was good. I just wish they had more shrimp. My friend had the shrimp and broccoli, which he liked. We enjoyed our time! read more

My kids have been raving about the "Butta" spot since forever and after seeing so many tic tok I finally went there with my daughter. The draw here is the butta drink - no one knows what they put in it but let me tell you it is STRONG! So strong that I took mine home to drink since I was driving. I ordered the boneless ribs with shrimp fried rice, my daughter ordered chicken and broccoli with a side order of wings. The food came out in less than 10 minutes - don't know how they pulled that off but it was quick. The food was good, although I like my fried rice with onions, veggies, egg, etc - you don't get any veggies only the protein in the rice which is kind of a bummer. The rest of the food was good and it was hot which I liked. Glad I finally got here but beware - the butta drink will put you on your a**, read more

Even though the rating is a B. I love this place, close to home and the service is quick and friendly! The food is made to order and comes out piping hot every time. The locals know it as the Budda spot because of their famous pink drink which will take you down quickly if you have that drink on an empty stomach. The ambiance in the location is very chill but many tables so sometimes it can get a bit busy but it does not compromise the service which is a huge win. Wish I would've snapped pics but if you like fish definitely get the broiled filet or the seafood platter combo. Happy eatings! read more

This place is ... good! I enjoyed the food (didn't try the spanish food) only the Asian food. It was very well made, didn't really taste outstanding. The ambiance isn't really captivating but I don't think there is much of a theme to the restaurant. The service is fast however due to the language barrier, I believe it's hard for the staff to understand requests which is understandably. The part that was interesting was their "Pink Drink", very strong but worth the money if you're there to get drunk, honestly. Just wish there were Asian-Spanish cuisines. read more

No this place use to be good this place is horrible now even though the prices went up it is not worth it anymore.

This place was once my favorite go to Chinese place. the wonton soup always had a strong broth with great taste, Now it is water down with no taste, the broiled fish is half the size previously, salad and plantains were included with dinner now it is only one.

When you cut corners on food and service, next stop is out of business sign. read more

The butta spot! No other drink needed but that butta. Everything in here tastes like the heyday of Chinese food pre msg scare and that's just how I love it. I don't like reviewing places that are classics because I DO NOT believe in putting people on online. It ends up ruining places with transplants and out of towners running through and raising prices or just doing too much but this place was on TikTok and either it was too classic or not on their level which I'm so thankful for. It was full of old school folks enjoying their day. The servers were quick and easy to order and the food was brought out hot and fresh out the kitchen. No one does it better, last of a dying breed! That fish was even better and buttery than it looks, I don't know how they make their fried rice but it hasn't been beaten! read more

Their flan is also delicious. The service is great and there's a community/family feel to the place.

Disgusting it tastes nothing like the Chinese food I am accustomed to. The chicken wing when I bit into it had a smell like they were going bad and they fried them anyway. I tried another one that didn't have the smell but it had a stale taste to it. The pork fried rice was greasy with sesame chicken. The sesame chicken was decent but I could not eat it. This food went in the garbage. The french fries were the only good thing I ate. I wasted 32.00 dollars. read more

I tell you I have never been upset, I paid $32 for a steak and plantains, the Asian woman handed me the bag with the food, it felt like a few ounces in the bag, I opened it to confirm what was in the bag since it was stapled.
