Craving Beijing-style hot pot in the winter? Le Sia really hits the spot. The copper pot lamb with sesame sauce tastes exactly like home -- super fresh meats (lamb rolls, ribeye, shrimp paste) and all the classic veggies. We also ordered some Beijing comfort dishes like grilled skewers, geda tang, and chao bing, and everything was delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of options on the menu, great for groups, and the Beijing-style decor made me so nostalgic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is my go-to spot in NYC for real Beijing flavors. read more

Had a wonderful time at Le Sia! Was promptly seated around dinner time with no wait. Ordered some skewers, beef and pork trotters. Skewers (beef and squid): 4/5 - these were good! Flavorful and cooked well. Oddly enough I'd like them to be hotter. They came out barely warm. Mongolian beef: 5/5 - excellent flavor, seasoned well, came out sizzling and the onions added a nice sweetness Pork trotter: 5/5 - surprisingly delicious! Fall off the bone, extremely tender, spicy!! Flavorful! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant layout is very narrow so it's a little bit hard to walk through sometimes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But overall very good dinner experience. Everyone around us was ordering hotpot. I'd come back to try it! Happy with everything I ordered. You order through an iPad but staff was attentive. read more

This Chinese seafood spot in Hells Kitchen was an excellent dinner spot, with a mix of comfort dishes, fresh seafood, and more. This is what my friend and I got: Virgin Malibu Sunset Virgin Passionfruit Frozen Margarita Scallion Pancake Fish Cake (2 Skewers) Fish Balls (2 Skewers) Chicken Wings (2 Skewers) Garlic Scallop With Vermicelli (2) Dry Fried Green Bean Spicy Mala Fish Fillet Le Sia Signature Braised Jumbo Shrimp Pot Shrimp Noodle White Rice The skewers were also seasoned with saltiness and spice - so yummy! The Scallion Pancakes had the perfect crunch to them. Green beans were addicting and that fish was so tender. I can see why people love the seafood here because the shrimps were fresh and deveined and the spicy hot pot broth was delish. The service was good and quick. You order on an iPad and they brought everything out quickly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's also quite spacious inside while being narrow at the same time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathroom was very clean and they had mouthwash too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I was influenced to try this place on Instagram, which happens very rarely for me, but decided to try this place out anyway. We didn't have a reservation but we walked in at around 6 pm on a weekday with no problem. They were fast to take our order and fast to deliver our order as well which is great! - Mongolian Style Grilled Beef - But like why was this genuinely so good? The beef was incredibly tender and flavor with the cumin spices and went very well with the rice. I did wish the onions were tenderized just a bit more but they worked very well to counteract the meaty flavors of the beef. This dish made me so happy as it felt like I was eating authentic Chinese cuisine. - Lamb Skewers - Could skip. Although the lamb was good, I felt like there wasn't enough meat on each stick. - Dough Drop Soup - I thought this would be more similar to tomato and egg soup but it was definitely a thicker consistency with way more flavors which was very cool. I even liked the dough drops in the soup as it didn't feel particularly heavy with carbs which was great. Overall, I will definitely come back! Yes, the food is a bit more on the expensive side, but the flavors make it worth it! read more

Over 2 years ago, I've raved about Le Sia and its foods and I'm glad to say that they've consistent since. Tasty authentic flavours with good value, this restaurant has become a go to favourite for me. A dinner meal that I would typically pay for any other restaurant nearby, I am able to bring home leftovers for a whole another sitting with flavours that remain. For those who like spicy and bold flavours, this is the spot for you. Taste: 5/5 Service: 4/5 - staff is quite attentive! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance: 4/5 - recently renovated, setting is not bad[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Value for money: 5/5 Things I'd recommend: 1) Skewers: Beef cartilage, enoki mushrooms, pork belly or chives (these pack very nice seasoned Chinese grill bbq flavours) 2) Spicy pots: My go to is the pork intestine with chicken, there's enough here for two sittings for two people! 3) Homemade plum juice: for 7.99 you get a pitcher that feeds two people, normally most restaurants charge you 8-10 for a glass these days for beverages... 4) Pork shank with spicy green pepper: quite spicy but the richness from the fatty pork mixed with the peppers made this wonderful Food is great, if you can handle spice, go try it! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]One of the most strangely creative restaurants in NYC - Le Sia is a Cajun/Creole Chinese restaurant![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Get the crayfish boil and "seafood experience" with beers, or whatever you want. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fantastic off-the-wall place to go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So much food for the money, you'll be stuffed. Amazing flavor development - rich, spicy, delicious. I don't know how they did it, but they have successfully fused authentic Louisiana flavors with Chinese cuisine. Amazing and so good. read more

Service was uniformly unprofessional and even grim. I am a visually handicapped man who has trouble reading a dim Ipad menu, and they were impatient with me and rude. Even when the server did not know of my special situation, the service was abrupt and unfriendly. When I asked for a glass for my delivered bottle of beer, it annoyed the server, who brough a glass and slammed it down on my table. Not a morsel of friendliness in the place. Impatient with questions. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Wonderful and warm. Perfect for winter[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. We had Lesia house special hot pot with shrimp for two people. It was wonderful the soft potatoes in the broth soaked up the rich broth. The green beans in garlic and Szechuan pepper came out perfectly. This place is full of Asians that know excellent food. They store your overcoats in large plastic bags by your table so they don't get slated on. This meal does get sloppy. The Zusu cheesecake had a hint of lemon and surprised us since we don't like normally like cheesecake. read more

Le Sia - Happy diners. - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

My huge family came here after the place we were going to go to wasn't wheelchair accessible. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Le Sia was able to accommodate and they were having their grand re-opening! Super newly renovated, and we were in this semi private back room which was very nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We got a lot of stuff, but all of it was delicious. The one thing you should know about Le Sia is that they love VINEGAR. Big vinegar users in that kitchen-- we got vinegar on the cabbage, wood ear mushrooms, peanuts, everything. Most times it was great, but sometimes they were a bit heavy handed. My dad ordered everything so I have literally no idea what we ordered, but I took pictures of the highlights. First of all, these peanuts. Why were they so good. I don't know. We were such big peanut fans across the table. These SKEWERS TOO. INSANELY well spiced and delicious. I thought this fried rice also was super fresh and tasted kind of like the rice you get at teppanyaki, which I'm a personal huge fan of. All in all, SUCH a solid choice for Chinese! read more

Ordered takeout crawfish boil from this place after having it on the to-go list forever! The crawfish boil was so tasty (definitely a bit messy to eat though).

Very enjoyable dinner. We ordered small quantities and plates to share. Our favorite was the green beans. We also enjoyed the garlic roasted oysters. Squid skewers were good as was the lamb brisket.

The food here was quite delicious. The service was attentive, and it wasn't too crowded on a random Wednesday evening. The ambiance was quiet, and not super flashy which I liked. Skewers (6/10): We got the lamb, beef, and gizzard skewers. The skewers here had good seasoning on them and the meat had good texture. The flavor was a bit too sweet and they weren't hot, which was somewhat disappointing. Shrimp Seafood Boil (8/10): This was the best dish that we got. We had a huge amount of shrimp that only cost 19$, which was the best part. We added corn into the seafood boil, and the flavors paired with the corn well. Dry Fried Green Bean (7/10): These were a solid choice. The flavor was there and I liked the texture. Sesame Cold Noodles (6/10): Like the skewers, these were strangely too sweet even for this dish. I like the overall flavor, but the sweetness was too much for me. read more

So my friends and I thought this was our best meal when we visited NY and we always talk about coming back. Everything is shareable which is perfect for us bc we love trying a lil bit of everything. My personal faves were the scallion pancakes and the garlic clams... literally so good omg. I can't find a restaurant back home with clams as flavorful as Le Sia's. Every dish was so yummy, not overly spicy or greasy, and overall a very filling meal! The service was great and it wasn't busy when we went for dinner. read more

3 things about this place: 1. Heard this place had authentic Chinese hot pot and skewers that you had to make reservations or wait in line. Decided to try this place to see how it was and if it was worth the hype. After ordering, the workers brought out the hot pot broth within 30 seconds and turned on the burner so the hot pot starts to boil. 2. Hot pot with various ingredients along with beef skewers and enoki mushrooms wrapped in pork belly skewers were ordered. Hot pot ingredients were sliced beef, enoki mushrooms, bok choy, fish cakes, and Chinese glass noodles. Everything was fresh and couldn't have asked for better ingredients. 3. Server kept checking on how everything was and if there was anything else that was needed. Ordered additional sliced beef and enoki mushrooms and they came out fast. One negative comment about this place is that they rush you to leave so they can sit new customers and I did NOT like that. I understand that the restaurant is busy and they want new customers, but it's not professional to stare at previous customers that literally just paid. Overall, I'd come back for the food but would not want to experience what I experienced before read more

We stumbled on this place on the way to the hotel. I was taken a back with the huge dog blocking the entrance. We almost didn't stay because of the dog. Obviously a trained dog and not a service dog. It baffles me how dog owners believe their dogs have some sort of right of passage. The staff embraced the dog as he will be leaving soon. However the sloppy drool he left behind wasn't pleasing but the late hour they were still open was. The food made up for the intro! The spicy fried clams were the business. Perfectly seasoned and well portioned was enough. I know business owners don't want to get into it with people and their dogs but! Ugh! read more

i came here with family who wanted to avoid seafood/meat (which they only told me after we got seated) so we weren't able to take full advantage of the menu, but i did get a pound of snow crab legs in garlic sauce and omg... so ridiculously good. i could swim in a tub of that sauce! of course the crab legs were perfectly cooked as well. the other items we ordered were chow mein, bok choy and beancurd sheets - all solid but of course they're not what you come here for. am definitely returning at some point to try more of their real menu. service was friendly/pleasant/helpful and the restaurant is small but cute. not really a romantic ambiance but would be great for friend/family gatherings. read more

Le Sia is a good place for friend gatherings as most of their dishes are meant for sharing and you can get more variety of food this way (for example, when you order skewers). Crab Pot ($49.95): a dish made with blue crabs, shrimp, chicken feet, potato, rice cake, and tofu soaked in a spicy and savory sauce, kinda like a drier version of cajun boil and hot pot. This dish is very flavorful and has a generous amount of crabs and shrimp. However, the crabs are not very meaty and they didn't provide crab crackers, so it was really hard to get complete pieces of crab meat. I feel like I was always chewing some shells. Also, it's a bit lack of veggies to my taste - plus, it's quite oily. Be aware if you are not good with spice, this is like a medium spicy dish. $49.95 is a bit overpriced. We also got various skewers: beef skewers (4 for $7.95), Lamb skewers (4 for $7.95), chicken wings (2 for $8), chicken gizzard (4 for $8), beef tendon (4 for $10), and garlic oyster (1 for $9.5). I would highly recommend the oyster. It was big, juicy, and savory. I especially like the minced garlic on top. The beef, lamb, and chicken wings are also worth trying - all standard Chinese BBQ flavors you could imagine but still tasty. Avoid the beef tendon! It was quite plain even with the heavy spice dust. The spices are all on the outside but the tendon itself does not have any flavors and it's kinda hard to chew. I think their skewers are fairly priced. The staff was decently friendly and the service speed was normal. They play classic Chinese pop music in the restaurant but not too loud so you can still have a conversation with your friends. read more

Holy shit did I have an awesome dinner at Le Sia. They have a winter special currently for hot pot, and what better combination than comfy hotpot and super seasoned skewers. I gotta say, very grateful for our waiter for saving us from ourselves when we were ordering otherwise we would have had to be airlifted home. That being said we got duck heads as always, some gizzards, chives, pork wrapped enokis, livers, and for hot pot some lamb and duck blood. DELICIOUS. NUTRITIOUS. Just go. ALSO service is insanely fast, things were dropping at the table while we were still ordering, so be prepared to EAT and clear some plates before your table piles up. read more

One of my go-to restaurants in the area, Le Sia has a great ambience that reminds me of night markets in China and always keeps me coming back. Some of the dishes can be hit or miss but I've found my favorites after a few meals. 5/5 - Mongolian Style Grill Beef: amazing flavor and char, the sauce they put on top is so savory, slightly sweet, and delicious. A must get. - Dry Bean-Curd with Green Pepper - Garlic Bok Choy 4/5 - Mongolian Style Grill Lamb: has more of a cumin spiced flavor rather than the saucy taste of the grill beef. Still good but I prefer the beef. - Grilled Beef with Enoki Mushrooms - Lamb Skewers - Beef with Enoki Mushrooms Skewers - Chicken Wings Skewers - Beef Fried Noodles: your standard chow mein with small beef cubes, I wish it came with more meat. 3/5 - Traditional Beijing Zhajiang Noodle: very little sauce for zhajiangmian and not the most flavorful. - Lamb Soup with Vermicelli: tastes healthy and healing (aka bland but in a good way), nice after a night out. The lamb pieces are small with bone though, so not the easiest to eat. read more

Beijing-Cajun fusion. Bei-jun? Ca-jing? Whatever you want to call it, I'm (mostly) here for it. The good: Crawfish Boil (they were out of Cajun seasoning, so we got it garlic-style). Plenty of crawfish, lotus roots and youtiao. The Asian Style Etoufee was ricey and tomato-y and the carb-tastic comfort food I needed after a week from hell. The not bad: Oysters. Giant sizes, but too much chili pepper. The Garlic Eggplant was fine if you really need fiber, but again, suffered from too much pepper. The bad: Lamb Skewers. Disappointing, since this place is clearly influenced by Northern Chinese cuisine and nothing defines that style more than food on sticks. Esp. lamb foods. But these pieces, while well-cooked, were over-cumined and under-salted. I love cumin as much as the next Asian, but it's a demanding, high-maintenance spice that tends to overwhelm every other flavor. There needed to be something else to balance it out. Service was quick and attentive, as I would expect from a hip, modern Chinese restaurant. read more

I absolutely love this place for their mala dry hot pot! The spice level and flavor tastes very authentic and similar to the way my Chinese mother makes it, despite the fact that this is supposed to be a Cajun Chinese fusion restaurant. The crawfish and shrimp hot pot taste delicious in the mala sauce, and you can also choose to add veggies to the dish which I would recommend! They also give you an apron and gloves to eat, which makes it a very fun experience. It definitely is a lot of work to peel the seafood (especially the crab legs) but if you don't have a problem with that or spicy food, you'll love this dish! The prices were decent as well. Since I really loved the spices, I'll definitely be coming back to try the skewers and other dishes in the future! read more

There is no consistency in the quality of the food. When it's good and you get what you have paid for it is excellent. When they decide to serve spoiled overly salted food, it is disgusting. They are horrible at following instructions, I requested 4 dishes and specifically asked for them to be packed in separate bags, they consolidated the crab boil into 2 bags. Their service is terrible!!! If you try this place, I hope you get them in a good day. read more

I am a sucker for 烧烤 places. I freaking love lamb skewers. And the fact that they had pork belly skewers makes it better. Even though Le Sia means happy shrimp, we didn't try any of their seafood. Sorry. Lamb Skewers ($1.75 ea): Same price as they are in Boston. These were delicious and tender. Seasoning was perfect. Pork Belly Skewers ($2.25 ea): Seasoning was also perfect for these. They were less juicy than I hoped, though. It felt more like pork meat, but they were still very good! This was just a skewer review, but I hope it was helpful to some people. If you are a fan of skewers, definitely come here. read more

Le Sia - Lamb skewers - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

We saw this place on 小红书 so we had some high expectations for the food. Overall I think the menu is authentic and has some cool items, but the food itself didn't really wow me. I think for the price the portions could've been more. The skewers were all pretty overcooked and stuck to the wood, but my favorite dish was probably the clam and vermicelli. The flavor of the seafood boil was good, so I'd recommend doing shrimp instead of crawfish for more meat volume. read more

Great Chinese food in Hell's Kitchen! Came here as a group of 5 on a Friday evening around 7pm with no reservations, and no expectations. Of course, when we put our names down they said they didn't have an opening until 10pm. So we decided just to do takeout. But while we were looking at the menu, the server came back and said that a spot opened up immediately! So we were seated and happy :) We got hotpot for the table, with the lamb as the main protein and many veggie options, like mushrooms and bok choy. Everyone at the table got a bowl of sesame sauce for dipping the hotpot items, which was a generous portion (I didn't finish it and I am a sauce fiend!). The sauce was SO GOOD. When they brought out the sauce they also brought out a tray of garnish for the sauce to help yourselves, including scallions and chopped garlic and chili sauce. I definitely recommend the hotpot for the table! We also got stir fried string beans (I think they were Szechuan), which were so addicting! We also ordered fried rice which was tasty and went well with the strong beans. Overall, everyone loved the food! read more

Fast service, authentic food, good ambience and reasonable prices. We were wandering around Hell's Kitchen on a Sunday morning and came across Le Sia. We were in the mood for skewers and this was one of the places that served skewers before 5 pm at a reasonable price. We were not disappointed! We ordered: -Lamb Skewers ($7.95 for 4): great value, tasted amazing, alternating fatty with leaner cuts so it was flavorful but not too indulgent. They use a cumin, chili glaze but not too overpowering - you can ask for mild, medium or spicy -Pork Belly wrapping enoki mushrooms ($7.50 for 2): same cumin chili glaze. I thought the emokis were a bit plain and overpowered the flavorful pork, good texture though and nice to have some veggies -Clams with Garlic Sauce ($16.99) generous portion, tasted amazing, lots and lots of garlic the way i like it. Would 10/10 order again. -Squid Tentacles ($6.50 for 2): decent, same glaze as above so nothing special -Egg Fried Rice ($12.95) reasonable price for large portion. Came out within 5 mins of ordering and nice to have to balance out the spiciness of the other dishes. Came out to $74 after tax for two people. Would definitely come back with a group of friends, so much good food worth sharing! read more
