Love the cocktails here they were amazzzzing!!! Gotta have that baijiu cocktail every once in a while.

I loved the atmosphere. Super romantic for date night! Ambience 10/10! A bit dark, but your eyes will adjust :) Would most definitely come back! read more

Fun place. cool atmosphere. good food and drinks. just a little dark. Will definitely be back!

Food: 4/5 Service: 4.5/5 Drinks: 4.8/5 Vibes: 4/5 We walked in at 5pm and were about to get a table but went to DCP instead. Then returned here around 7pm when they were at their busiest. We didn't have a reservation but since we had stopped by earlier the staff seated us and asked for the table back in about an hour. We agreed to it, so my review is based on the short time we spent there. We loved the service, and the overall drinks. The pace was set well, and each drink and food order came within 15 mins or well under. This is why we enjoyed this place a bit more than DCP. For food we ordered the dan dan noodles, the shrimp toast and the wontons. The wontons were our fav. The dan dan noodles was a great potion for the apps, but it unfortunately didn't feel like it had enough salt and was lacking in the authentic flavor we were hoping for. We would definitely come back for the mains. The drinks on the other hand were phenomenal. We loved their happy together the most. But other drinks we tried were nude and noble, silk and sage **, hk milk punch **, and Starwood mai tai. We would order the ones with the ** again. The cocktails are well worth the price and they are definitely memorable. read more

Hello, Don't go here unless you enjoy worthless experiences. We made a reservation here and we left not full and disappointed. Our server only approached us one time with his first sentence being "are you guys ready". No hi, how are you, recommendations specials anything. The cocktail I got tasted like medicine, but that might have been my bad in ordering it. We were sat at a "table" that was basically a bar table in the back corner with no back rest. The place is cool for a picture but not for dinner. Crab fried rice was good and I got to spend time with my good friend, besides that wouldn't recommend. Sincerely, Cam and Moni read more

What a neat, blast from the past, speakeasy type bar and restaurant. I visited for girls night with a friend and we wanted curated, unique drinks. This was definitely the place! Our waiter was so helpful in selecting the perfect libation because I was between four selections and all sounded amazing. He helped me opt for the Silk and Sage, a citrusy drink with creamy egg foam top. Delectable!!! My friend selected a strong drink called the Bird's Nest that had a lollipop as a mixing stick. How cute?! The price is on par for NYC and a classy venue- about $20+ per drink. Nothing out of the norm. The decor is dark, regal- think 1920s flapper meets prohibition. Very chic. The only downside is that Ye's is extremely (and I mean REALLY) cold. Not sure why the AC is blasting so high, but it was such a relief to get back into the warm NYC streets after an hour at the bar. If the temp was raised just a smidge, I think folks would stay longer (and enjoy more sips and bites)! Overall, lovely spot. Would definitely visit again! read more

The coolest concept inspired by herbal medicine. Wish we had time to try the drinks because both the non-alcoholic and alcoholic options looked creative. I loved the secretive, moody ambiance and all of the staff were so sweet and patient. The food was also so yummy - a bit pricey for the quantity, but it definitely made up for it in taste. The crab fried rice is BEAUTIFUL and definitely my favorite dish from here. read more

The restaurant was very cozy and dark, the mood was definitely on the romantic side. I came here with friends to try some of the cocktails/drinks which were on the pricier side. I ordered the silk & safe which has vodka, marachino, Lim, mulberry, and egg white in it. The drink had an interesting kick to it, and had a creamy taste with some bitterness to it. It kinda reminded me of a perfume, but not sure which one! Service was generally paced and the employees were polite and observant. read more

This spot in Chinatown is more of a bar than a speakeasy (it isn't hidden at all and there's a huge sign outdoor lool). However, the interior is still intimate, cozy, and a great ambiance. Excellent service and decor is great. I came during their LNY celebration so I got to try their special cocktail and lobster noodles. On top of that, I also ordered their yuzu shrimp, morning glory, chili fish, and fried tangyuan (for dessert) along with a couple other cocktails. Everything was delicious and the cocktails here were amazing. If there were anything I say they could improve it's that I did feel that their lobster noodles were overcooked (the noodles were all broken) and their morning glory were also overdone. Aside from that, flavors were great! read more

Great food and atmosphere! Lotta of yummy share plates. Service was good food was fast!

Dark moody speakeasy. Edgy and oh so very intriguing. Just amazing to experience the mysterious entrance, cool interior vibe, compelling cocktails and attentive service. We arrived just upon opening and were welcomed warmly, the first to experience an exceptional evening. The interior exuded the epitome of speakeasy style set in perhaps a throwback Chinatown. Service was attentive and welcoming at the get-go. We could not resist the Sichuan Old Fashioned, well crafted with a wash of chili fat oil. Well crafted and oh so interesting! We definitely plan to be back to try more intriguing cocktails and their specially crafted tapas with an asian twist! read more

Camera flashes. Camera flashes everywhere. This is what you'll see all night. I was super excited to come here, as I had been to a fair share of old Chinese-style cocktail bars in Asia that blew me away, and was hoping to find similar experiences here. But nice places like these don't go without getting blown up on social media instantly. Came here on a late Saturday night and we had only waited about 20ish minutes for a seat, which I think is pretty impressive. It helps that they have a 1.5-hour time cap, which is fair and more than enough time if you're only here for drinks and maybe a side dish or two. They come at you with the bill on the dot. This place is super fast-paced...for a swanky-looking bar, and my chair got bumped by passersby many times, despite having a decently wide walkway. I had the HK Milk Punch and thought it was alright, nothing memorable. But the alcohol was strong. Also did sides of the Dan Dan Noodles and Supreme Seafood Fried Rice, which were very average and pricey for the small portions. Luckily, it was just the two of us and having already eaten, we ordered out of curiosity. read more

We went for drinks. They were serious about having the table for 90 minutes and then having us go. We were there at 7pm. It was for five people, they graciously let two others join for the last 10 minutes before we were to leave. Paid top $ for my own drink creation which didn't hit the spot but their combinations sure do. Nice speakeasy setup. read more

Absolutely loved this bar. The duck scallion pancakes were delicious. A bit greasy but literally the best. The salted duck egg yolk ice cream was so yummy. Loved the flavor and texture. The tcm martini was so good. Definitely sweeter than I thought but I really enjoyed it. Vibes were great and I loved the decor. The service was also so great. Out server was the best. Would highly recommend! read more

I think I'm starting to be desensitized to good chinese food because there's too much of that in nyc and that's most of what I eat when I go out. It kinda seemed like your average joint and then I realized our bar for average is much higher than most of America. So maybe I'll take this as an intervention to take a break on chinese food so I can appreciate how good it is again. My friend and I went here to celebrate lunar new year and we both agree that the salted egg green beans with scallops were amazing. The drinks are also really tasty, you don't taste the alcohol. read more

Amazing vibe! Really recommend the Yuzu Shirmp and Dan Dan noodles. Server was super awesome.

Came to try a few of their many different drinks and most certainly this is the reason why folks would want to come by and try innovative drinks with an asian twists. Them drinks can get expensive (probably median price point of $20 for each cocktail or more). We also ordered some snacks to go with the drinks, such as spicy popcorn chicken, cucumber salad, sweet and smokey ribs, usual standby of scallion pancakes. The food was good and drinks something off the usual beaten path. It aint cheap since for party of 3 it came out to $182 w/o tips yet. Will we be back? hard to say but the ambience (dining room down the stairs) was very nice and service pretty good. read more

Overall: C // 3 stars Interesting Chinese-centric take on a NYC-style speakeasy with eye-catching fusion dishes and a large menu of unique cocktails. I liked most of my experience overall, with competitive cocktail prices in the $20 range and tastes for all palettes, except for one which I cannot wrap my head around. (Duck Pancake: B) - $18 is a bit steep for this appetizer, but the usage of basil and cucumber really bring out the levity to balance the scallion pancake, nice bit. (Spice Road Trail Mix: B) - Love the balance between sweetness and the hearty Indian spice blend that gives the mixed nuts another dimension. I think if the presentation were a bit more catchy, this could be such a draw as this is a perfect bar snack. (Bird's Nest: A) - I don't follow the name, but Yuzu Osmanthus is a comforting blend that's mild on the palette, balancing fruit, floral, and acidity. (Fire & Peel: F) - Promising mixture of ingredients, but came out tasting exactly like a very strong cough medicine that's beyond unpleasant. It seems like the only guiding flavor is licorice, which when combined with alcohol as the secondary flavor, this is the result.

I came here with a girl friend for a weeknight drinks and dinner. We ordered the following: - Scallion pancakes 9/10 these were delicious with sauce - yuzu shrimp: 7/10 this lacked a little flavour to me - dan dan noodles 10/10 these were my favourite dish, so full of flavour For drinks I got the silk and sage and my friend got the ruby dew. Both were amazing, highly recommend. The ambiance was nice, tables were close together which we didn't mind and the place was busy read more

I had an ok experience here. They sat us in the hallway with this tiny little ledge seating that was so cramped and uncomfortable. To be fair, they asked us if we were fine with this seat because it's all they had, but we didn't realize how tiny it would be. Our food plates would over hang on the little ledge table. The food was alright to good. The dan dan noodles were super ok - the noodles were overcooked and felt like spaghetti noodles. We asked for chili oil but didn't receive it until 40 mins later when we were done with our food. The place was busy so I understand the staff had a lot going on, but the service was alright. The chicken bucket was good but insanely overpriced. It's not actually that much chicken. The shrimp toast was good as well but super heavy. Also got a cocktail which was good. read more

Beautiful ambiance. Incredible potstickers and dumplings. Walked in for a quick drink and all but would love to come back for dinner.

a very intimate and dark bar x eatery, the tables are pretty small and close to one another so probably not great for large groups. the chilli fish and salted egg green beans with scallops were delicious. the crab fried rice had a good texture but was a bit too peppery. the hk milk punch cocktail was too strong for me, I thought it was going to be more milky but it tasted of mostly alcohol. prices are decent read more

Meh. Cute place! Small small. Drinks were good. Black tea smoked something or other that the boyf got tasted like straight up BACON. Crab fried rice was bland, 3 leetle scallops in my scallop dish. "Nude and Noble" made me giggle, but everyone uses that one green bottle of mezcal that I hate so much. Silk & Sage was fire. Get that one. I'm starting to realize that everyone everywhere uses the same prepackaged dumplings you get from the asian mart. Duck egg on my face ig. read more

Ambiance and vibes here was what we needed exactly on a rainy night. The place is dim lit with speakeasy vibes and great music. The wait took some time but was def worth for the food. Ordered the squid ink xlb, pig trotters and spicy eggplant and loved the flavor and heat coming from the dishes. The pig trotters was gelatinous and had a silk texture and eggplants had that wok hay to it. Probably couldn't love skipped the xlb as was expecting more flavor from this. Was on the blander side. Service here was super quick and attentive with the water refills as well. Didn't get to try the drinks but def would come back next time for that! read more

Wow! So amazing! I have been wanting to try this place for such a long time. Definitely a cute date night spot or a good place to catch up with a small group of friends. The decor is really nice. The atmosphere is kind of dark and moody. The music was great and wasn't too loud. You can carry on a conversation over your meal and drinks. Yun was amazing! He was extremely attentive and helpful. He gave the best recommendations for food and drinks. I had the silk and sage to drink and a shot of baijiu. The silk and sage drink was blended so smoothly and the flavors married together really well. For the baijiu I got the maotai yingbin. I never tried baijiu before and was looking forward to giving it a shot. It was smooth. I would try a different kind next time. I was disappointed that the antidote is no longer being offered. I really hope they bring it back! My friend got the birds nest to drink. It came with a lollipop. She loved the sweet and citrus taste of the drink. There are so many great food choices! I can't wait to come back to try more dishes! You can definitely share the dishes with someone else in your party. I selected all of Yun's recommendations and they were superb. We started with the duck scallion pancakes. There were four pieces on the plate. The flavor was so good! The duck wasn't oily and the meat held up really well to the crispy pancake. It would be nice if there was more sauce to have the pancakes with. Yun recommended the black pepper steak bites and the supreme seafood fried rice. The black pepper steak bites were so soft and flavorful. I loved them. The supreme seafood fried rice was so flavorful as well. I also loved the fried rice. The place is dimly lit so I would say to just double-check and shine a light on the prawns to make sure they are fully cleaned. My friend got the Dan Dan noodles. She loved them. I also liked them. I wish they had more heat and spice. I think they could have added more of the minced beef, since there were a good amount of noodles in the dish. Honestly, I can't wait to come back and enjoy more amazing drinks and food. Highly recommend. read more

The food here is super yummy. Service and ambiance both great. The server was helpful and accommodating to make the Dan Dan noodles vegetarian for me. It was so good and flavorful and I loved the sauce it was so unique. All the food is plated so aesthetically as well. I also got the tofu dish and sesame cucumber salad. Both were good and seasoned well. The mushroom salad I got too because I love mushrooms but I didn't love the flavor of that one so not sure if I'd get it again. read more

I've been wanting to check this place out because the bar has great vibes, but they also have a pretty decent food menu! For drinks, I had a Nightingale mocktail which was a beautiful drink but didn't really taste like anything special. My friend ordered the Bird's nest but the vodka sort of overpowered the drink so I wasn't really able to taste the other flavors in the description (but I am also no expert when it comes to alcohol so my palate may just not be refined enough). In terms of food, we ordered the changsha spiced chicken and dan dan noodles. The noodle portion was on the smaller side, but it was cooked well! The chicken was my favorite dish. It had just the right amount of spice and was soooo crispy. As someone who doesn't drink much, it's so nice to have a speakeasy with fun drinks but also a great food menu so that I can still enjoy the same space with my friends. read more

This is one of those bougie and intimate Chinese bar. The place is dimly lit and gives off a retro bar vibe with a slight modern twist. Please note, don't go hungry (the food portion runs small)! Go to have a good time and drink! We tried majority of their drinks and we were impressed by them all. Also, the all names of the cocktails had a cute/clever Asian spin to it. (Didn't take photos of my cocktails tho) This place is more of a bar that instead of serving your usual bar food they serve Chinese food/ shareable apps. We ordered: Pork Belly Eggplant Tempura Cucumber Salad Duck Fried Rice Scallion Pancake read more

* the restaurant and bathroom are only accessible via staircase and is not ADA accessible* Ye's is a cool speakeasy restaurant. When you enter, descend down the stairs and the bar and tables are to your right. Their drink menu is a highlight and certainly fun. I had the Snake Charmer which was a martini like drink served with a sidecar of lillet blanc and soda. All of the cocktails sound very interesting and unique. I'd like to come back to try the earl grey gimlet. My boyfriend had the Sichuan old fashioned which was a bit spicy due to the chili oil used in the drink. The plates are shareable and not super big. They can make the noodle plates vegetarian if you wish. We shared veggie dumplings and then I had the night mark noodles sans the meat. My boyfriend had the mango chicken. All the food was good and hit the spot. We had fried Mochi with sesame butter ice cream for dessert - their only dessert for the evening. The staff were all very nice and happy to recommend items. The ambience of the bar is moody and classy. I really loved the decor and think they did a nice job of creating an inviting atmosphere. I also love the jade green bar tiles. This place seems to fly under the radar but is now one of my top favorite cocktail bars in Manhattan. Don't count this one out! read more
