Celian O.

Co-worker bought this for me as take-out, so there's not much for me to say about service of staff and ambiance of the location. Honestly, I was going to give 3 stars because nothing really stood out to me about the food and the beef was kind of dry. But the beef was tender and easy to bite and they cooked the rice so perfectly, exactly how I like it; soft and fluffy. I could eat the rice alllllll day. I had the stew beed over rice. The spice level was mild and I really liked it, would try a stronger spice level next time. I think it's one of the better Chinese food places in that area so far, from what I've tried.

Amazing place for takeout! Fast and nice quality dishes. The packaging is the deliveries stand out and shows care. Would come back again.

I loved my warm meal on a cold day! I got the mild spicy chicken chili soup noodles with sour and spicy cucumber salad. The salad was a huge portion so I took a bunch home in a to-go bag. I took some soup home too - it was very delicious and made fresh. The apple soda was the perfect touch. Service was excellent and advised me to order the perfect spice level perfectly. There is one long table where small groups could eat together. Many folks were coming in for take out as well. I will definitely come here again. Great portions for the price.

Very quick to get our food and large portions however I feel like they increased prices recently. Each bowl was about $19 which I feel is too much for simple noodle dishes. The dry noodles were quite oily with fattier pieces of meat. However the hot and sour dish noodle soup was lighter and had plenty of white fish slices.

A nice and clean restaurant with quick service. I ordered the braised pork ribs with soup noodles. The meat was delicious and flavorful, however the broth was lacking flavor. Overall, it was a good experience.

During my recent stay in NYC, I ate at the mid-town location of Silky Kitchen a few times. On each occasion, I found the food always be pipping hot, freshly prepared, spice level to my taste, and surprisingly for being so close to Times Square a good value! The interior is modern, yet spartan in design aesthetic. There are a few counter and chairs towards the front towards the door, which either face the wall or the window onto the street. But there is also a funky curved communal wooden table, which is were I usually sat. Go up the counter and first choose your starch base (rice, dry noodles, or soup noodles) and then the protein and style of preparation. Soup noodles were okay, but I preferred the dry noodles, and specifically the stir fried pork with bamboo shoots. When I asked for "medium" spicy, the guy taking my order said, "Are you sure? It's Chinese level spicy." I assured him I could take it. Within 10-15 minutes, my dish was ready and served in a plastic bowl. TBH, even for "Chinese level spicy," the medium wasn't that hot. Good thing there was a station for additional chili oil, which I added a few spoonfuls for more heat. The pork had that "wok hei" smoky flavor and the bamboo shoots and other veggies were nice and crunchy; slight detractions since I could've used more bamboo shoots and less celery. Noodles were springy and were coated with all of the ingredients and sauce. A nice filling meal for under $20. Silky Kitchen is a local chain with (at the time of this review) four locations around NY (https://silkykitchen.com/#footer). So if you're visiting NY and are in search of affordable and authentic Hunan cuisine, Silky Kitchen is a good option.

The stew been has a ton of tender beef and is a good size. The major comment I have is that the broth is watery and is missing the depth of flavor.

I've been to this chain twice now. They have locations throughout New York. I used to love Xian Famous food so much, but I think it's got competition! This place has a similar concept as Xian - you go up to the counter to order your dishes and they are all served in plastic disposal utensils and bowls whether you order to go or dine in. Food comes out in about 5-15 minutes. I've tried the: - Spicy Squid with noodles 8/10 - Tofu with minced pork noodles (summer special!) 8/10 - Hot and Sour Fish soup noodles 8/10 - Cold sweet flower jelly 10/10 - Hunan Fried Tofu 10/10 Even though this place seems to be a fast casual place, I was amazed by the quality of the food. I really enjoyed everything I've eaten here so far and the flavor profile is amazing. The Hunan tofu is so good - I really like the pickled veggies they used. The cold sweet flower jelly is the perfect summer desserts. The entrees are great, they didn't seem to skimp out on the ingredient. I would say the ingredient to carb ratio is maybe around 2:3? Can't wait to come back and try different dishes next time!

Solid bowl of noodle soup. Really hits the spot, great price point, and was still piping hot when it was delivered. Noodles were bouncy with a great texture. Really slippery which is great because they didn't arrive as a massive clump of starch. Had the fish soup and the spice level was great, could be spicier, but I was perfectly happy with the soup without modifications. WAIT JK I added pickled string beans. I forgot. Those were GREAT. Should be in every bowl of hot and sour fish soup. Have yet to visit this place in person, but judging from the photos they seem to be following the trend of clean sparse wooden interiors with counter ordering. Fine by me! Looking forward to visiting in person.

Came in by myself on a rainy Wednesday. A few other patrons but takeout. You order at the counter and come back to grab your food when the buzzer goes off. Ambiance left a bit to be desired as it felt a little sterile. I got the dry noodle one with chicken and it was about a 4 star. Pretty good but not outstanding. I also got the fried tofu appetizer and really liked it. I'd recommend trying out this spot

Simone H.

Silky Kitchen is known for its authentic Hunan cuisine, generous portions, and real spicy flavors. If you're a fan of noodles and bold spices, this spot is definitely worth a visit. The pork and pepper stir fry is a flavorful dish with tender pork and a mix of bell peppers. The spice level can be adjusted to your preference, and it pairs well with rice or noodles. This spot in Times Square has mostly high top seating and is great for take out. Service was attentive and offered a lot of suggestions for food.

Veronica H.

One of my go-to lunch places, amazing value and great food quality. You can also order online to save time! Nomz: My go-tos are S3 pork + pepper and S11 hunan style beef. (I do want to try the stewed beef eventually). I usually get them with rice but I have tried the dry mixed noodles which are also delicious. I will say the noodles tend to absorb the spice a lot more so beware. Their spice levels are no joke. I started at spicy and it was so spicy I could not properly enjoy - as someone who prefers spicy food. Medium is still pretty spicy - I tend to go mild nowadays and for me the flavors really come out at mild. Service: The staff taking orders is super nice, the restaurant is a well oiled machine - very efficient. Ambiance: The inside is well lit, cute, minimalistic and usually has plenty of seating available since most people pick up. Nope or Dope: Dope! I start craving it every week, their flavors are delicious and they are generous with the rice and noodles, I usually have a snack for later. Try it out!

You will become addicted to their spicy dishes once you try! Medium spicy is already pretty spicy so you might want to start with mild spicy and go from there. Really nice decor and conveniently located. The service was pretty good as well. Will definitely come back! read more

This place has become a regular dinner spot for me on my way home. The food is ready really fast and always freshly made. The flavors are authentic Chinese and really hits the spot for me. One thing to note is that the medium spicy level is actually sort of intense with hot chili peppers, but it does come w more veggies w the fresh chili and celery mix. Great portion size as well. read more

really good rice noodle, one of the best I've had in the US. I also really enjoyed the mao's favorite braised pork, and the hunan style sauteed beef.

Perfect for fast casual dining if you are craving a rice or noodle bowl! Came here as a group of 4 people to dine-in. Food: Highly recommend the pork and pickled mustard green with rice! There is something so comforting about this combination of savory ingredients, and I really could eat this all the time because it always hits the spot. If you have never tried pickled mustard green, it has a very unique subtle flavor with a great texture that pairs well with pork. It does not taste anything like fresh mustard green, which can be rather bitter. You can also specify your spice level, but I would say if you are spice averse, then it would be best to go with the lowest tier to start. My friend ordered the pork and pickled mustard green with noodles, and she said the noodles were fabulous! I could see this keeping well for takeout, so there were quite a few people who just came in and out to quickly pick up their order. Service/Atmosphere/Location: Had to walk through Times Square to get to this location, and it was brutal trying to weave in and out of the multitude of tourists clogging the area. The food made this journey worth it though! Interesting mix of modern clean decor in the restaurant that does not really display asian sensibilities. You need to go to the counter to order, and they will call your number/name when the food is ready for you to pick-up (similar to other fast casual dining spots), and the seating is first come first serve. Overall: Will definitely be back to get my rice/noodle bowl fix! read more

Was craving Hunan food while in the city and decided to stop by Silky Kitchen to give it a try. Overall the food was not bad for a quick grab and eat. The Stewed Beef w/ Noodle soup was very plain and the beef wasn't that flavorful. Being that this is an extremely common option at Hunan restaurants, I'd say this one was a bit subpar compared to most. The Pork with Bamboo shoots with dry noodles was pretty flavorful. There was plenty of meat and bamboo shoots which I was pretty pleased to find. Only thing is that I selected the medium spice option and it had quite the kick. I'm usually pretty good with spicy food but their medium leveled spice was more than I expected. The Sour and Spicy Cucumber salad is another option that is very common at Asian restaurants. I'd say this one was at par with most, nothing too special but I did wish that the flavoring was a little more rich in the sauce. If you're in midtown and simply craving some Hunan food for a quick lunch, this is a solid option. read more

As a vegetarian, there were only two choices for me, so I got the hot and sour vegetables. No tofu and the only two vegetables that I don't like (bell peppers and celery) were the majority of this dish, aside from greasy spaghetti noodles. The restaurant was clean and staff polite, but the food was mediocre at best and overpriced for what we got. read more

The last takeaway I ordered was delivered to me by mistake, and I was promised to be compensated with a powder, but I didn't realize that the merchant was actually playing word games, saying that the compensation was for a mere powder, not one with a dish to go with it, causing me to have to place a new order for the order I had originally placed.But the merchant didn't help me cancel the order to reorder either, and even if I accepted their word game, they didn't offer me any help for this situation, letting their mistake affect my order once again.I care not about a few dollars, but this very poor service attitude, overall a very bad service experience, I hope the owner can see to give me an explanation.Don't betray the trust of consumers. read more

Oh, My! I miss New York Chinese food! A friend picked it up and dropped food to me, so my meal was takeout and have no comment on atmosphere, etc. Let me start by telling how freakin' delicious the shrimp and pork dumplings were. Salty, soft, flavorful. I inhaled them all! Then I had the beef Szechuan with soft noodles. I did not add the broth because I did not need it. The beef was tasy and SPICY. My order was mild but the dish very spicy. I could not stop eating it even though my whimpy mouth was on fire! Ive been in NYC for 5 days and this was by far my favorite meal.

I've heard good things about this place so I wanted to give it a try. I ordered Braised Pork Ribs with Brown Sauce, medium spicy, and paired with rice. The ribs were nicely cooked -- tender and flavorful. The celeries in the dish fit with the ribs nicely and are a refreshment. The spice level was spot on, exactly what I expected. Surprisingly, this dish was not oily at all, which I really appreciate. The downside is the long waiting time. I came there around 1pm on a workday and the place was filled with people looking for a quick work lunch. The cashier kindly told me (and other customers too) beforehand that it would take at least 20 minutes. I decided to wait. I ended up getting my food 30 minutes after ordering. Well, it was a bit of a wait for a work lunch but hey, I was told beforehand. In sum, their food is solid but I am undecided whether it's worth the 30-min wait. I will probably try other dishes at this place again in the future, but next time, either come at non-rush hour or order online in advance. read more

Got off the E train and when we looked for Chinese food, this place popped up with good reviews and it was just a short walk from where we got off the train. My buddies ordered the special lunches and we also got two types of xlb's, beef chow fun, and some fried dumplings. The special lunches come with a little fried rice, cold garlic flavored noodle, choice of egg drop or hot and sour soup, and main side. My buddies all enjoyed their meals. The beef chow fun was also really good and beef was nice and tender. The xiao long baos were excellent and is comparable to any place in California like DTF. Nice and juicy and great with some ginger, soy sauce, and spicy chili. Friendly service and food comes out pretty quickly. Credit card is accepted. Bathroom was also very clean, which is sometimes rare in some Chinese restaurants I have been to. If you're looking for a good Chinese meal, stop here when you're in the Chelsea area.

I missed a call and literally two minutes later the call came through again and the woman yelled at me - "hurry up hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!" said the driver was waiting 10-15 minutes for me, which was simply untrue - I got a call literally two minutes before- just rude. Added a screenshot in case the owner doubles down that it was 15 mins. Guess the first call was from the delivery driver, and the second was from the restaurant itself. ‍ But the really disappointing part is that they didn't pack any soup separate from the noodles! - So my chicken dumpling noodle soup basically had no soup - don't know if they forgot it or if it was absorbed by the noodles but most restaurants at this point know to pack the broth and the noodles separately,- so I ended up having to add some of my own vegetable broth, which totally was not the flavor I was hoping for. So - love the food, but delivery service leaves a lot to be desired - next time I'll try giving instructions to pack the soup separate from the noodles and see if that helps!

Buddakan

Dinner for one at Buddakan turned into one of those rare experiences where the setting is nearly as…read morememorable as the food. Located within the historic Chelsea Market building--a former Nabisco factory where Oreo cookies were first produced--the restaurant feels theatrical in the best possible way. The soaring ceilings, dramatic lighting, and energetic atmosphere create a sense of occasion from the moment you walk in. It feels less like simply going out to dinner and more like stepping into a beautifully staged production. I started with a Botanist Gin Martini with a twist, which paired wonderfully with the meal. The surprise star of the evening was the new Cucumber Tiger Salad. The balance of flavors was exceptional: bright acidity, a pleasant touch of heat, and just enough mint to make each bite feel fresh and exciting. Every so often the mint would come through and suddenly all the flavors would click together in a way that made me immediately want another bite. This is a dish I would happily order again. Next came the Edamame Dumplings. They were delicate and comforting, especially when enjoyed with the accompanying broth. The broth adds depth and richness that elevates the entire dish. My only suggestion would be the slightest touch more salt, perhaps even a finishing sprinkle of black volcanic salt for both flavor and presentation. I also found myself wishing there were a bit more of that delicious broth because it contributes so much to the overall experience. For my entrée, I ordered the Glazed Alaskan Black Cod, and it absolutely lived up to its reputation. The fish was rich, buttery, and perfectly prepared. What impressed me most was how thoughtfully the accompaniments were composed. The pickled cucumbers brought brightness, acidity, and crunch, while the black bean and eggplant relish delivered deep savory notes and unexpected complexity. I'm generally not an eggplant fan, but this relish was outstanding. The cucumbers and relish sit at opposite ends of the flavor spectrum, yet both somehow make the cod even better. Looking back, I think a glass of Sauvignon Blanc alongside the cod would have been the perfect pairing. I finished with the Miso Caramel Milk Bar, which was spectacular. Decadent, sweet, salty, and touched with just enough umami to keep every bite interesting. The chocolate crumble underneath added a wonderful crunch that contrasted beautifully with the creamy ice cream and luscious caramel sauce. Every component worked together perfectly, creating a dessert that was both indulgent and sophisticated. From start to finish, the meal felt polished, thoughtful, and memorable. Thank you!

I also tried the Blush cocktail which was similar to a lychee martini. I loved it and it was perfectly sweet. Overall it was on the pricey side once we split everything, but the vibes were great for a nice night out.

Peking duck (for 4-5) had great accompaniments (rare to actually get bao with it) but it was a lackluster portion of duck. Salt and pepper shrimp were offensively salted. Special "mignon" was great. The hand-pulled noodles *gasp* weren't hand pulled. "BBQ" chicken in the other noodles was very dry. Sea bass portion was very small. Scallion pancakes were good. Shrimp dumplings were the highlight. I recommend skipping this restaurant.

I used to live in NYC and cold peanut (or sesame) noodles were on every Chinese menu in the city. Weird that I have never seen them anywhere in San Francisco (or Dallas). They were just scrumptious, and I plan on making them with some grilled chicken next week for a dinner party. I would have liked some chopped scallions on top here, but this place is kinda "no frills". The scallion pancake was nice and crispy, maybe a little oily, but still excellent.

I definitely recommend coming here right when it opens. For the food itself, I got the Mix Platter (Lamb and chicken) which was delicious and flavorful.

I feel like this place is a 1 and done - but not something that you have to have... more like, if…read moreyou have FOMO and want to try the hype. I feel like this place is good, but the white sauce is what makes it. Would I wait another 50 minutes in line, again? Heck to the no - but 1 time? Yes, just to say I tried it. I came in line around 9:45pm and waited approx. 50 minutes before being served. the line just grows and grows.... it is crazy busy! I don't get the line concept here. Because while I was in a long line, when I get to the front, there's another line to the left of the truck... and people seem to be getting their food faster, and the line is like 2x shorter. So that's kind of confusing. Ambience in line and ordering = chaotic. The line is quick in terms of when it is your turn, KNOW what you want. Because you have like 5 seconds to order and that's it. I ordered the special (the spicy rice, lamb and chicken combo, extra white sauce, 3 squirts of hot sauce, and a topped with fries). $13 in total. I would like to say, advice to folks to know what you want before you come. I did not look at menu options beforehand and I did fairly little research so I honestly did not know what to order, just looked at some google reviews and pictures. That is going to help you, in case you do not want the typical lamb and chicken combo. To the food - 1st - they don't care how much hot sauce you want. they're making these bowls in the masses and are just giving you a single squirt so they can make 20 bowls all at the same time. I was hoping for more spice in what I ordered, but it was very slightly spicy. I'm not sure if they let you serve yourself to more, but I'd definitely want more of the hot sauce. 2nd - I didn't taste any spice in the spicy rice. I'm not sure if, again, due to the fast production that it all just taste like regular rice? but didn't see what the hype was there. 3rd - I genuinely think the white sauce is what brings it all together. The chicken was OK to me. I didn't think it was anything special, and would give it a 3 out of 5. texture was OK, flavor was OK... the lamb definitely stole the show. The lamb was absolutely flavorful and full of delicious spices. This reminded me of what I've had in Dubai. Very rich in flavor and just the perfect amount of spices. Overall, I think if you wait for your food to cool down like 20 minutes, you'll get to taste the flavors more. Everything hot together, for me, just didn't allow me to really absorb all the food. But the rice was your average rice. Pita was deliciously soft and pillowy which complemented the white sauce. Chicken was ok. had an OK texture; nothing life changing. lamb was fantastic, and fries were just fries (nothing memorable). For a NYC experience, a 1-time, 50 minute wait is acceptable. And, for $13, that's pretty cheap for the amount of food you get. I would eat it again if the line was 5 minutes. Otherwise, I'm positive you will find similar food/better food elsewhere.

After running a couple of errands while waiting for the table to be ready, we were seated outside at the patio after an hour and 45 minutes. We ordered the famous honey butter pancakes, the korean wings, and the breakfast sandwich with hash brown, scrambled eggs, and sausage. The honey butter pancakes were pretty good but kinda drenched in the butter that made it hard to finish. The korean wings were also alright but the batter to me was kinda thick and heavy and lacked crispiness. The best item we ordered was the breakfast sandwich with hashbrown, scrambled eggs, and sausage. I think the eggs are cooked with cheese, and as someone who typically does not eat cheese, I didn't mind it. I don't know if I'll be back again - I think the concept of an asian twist on the classic diner does sound intriguing but difficult to execute. I also wasn't a big fan of the wait time. If you typically like heavier, diner food then this spot might be the place for you!
