Ambitious take on normal dim sum menu , a perfect alternative to the New American Williamsburg brunch . The long dumplings and pork and shrimp shumai were stellar.

Noah Weiss

Tasty, spicy Chinese food with surprisingly good (tiki) cocktails . Like a less crazy Mission Chinese, or a more affordable Red Farm . Pork soup dumplings , garlic eggplant , and rice cakes with sausage .

IrmaZandl ZandlSlant

Love this place. The on-tap negroni is a great way to start dinner . We had the soup dumplings , mock eel , eggplant , beans and much more. All delish.

Nikki Bogopolskaya

Amazing din for a group, the booth tables have Lazy Susans for even easier sharing. Get all the dumplings on the menu (do it), spring rolls , crispy garlic chicken & Mai tais on tap .

Sue Lee

Go if you're looking for something that's not General Tso's . I recommend the crispy fried chicken , fried ho fun noodles , watercress salad , and dan dan noodles . Drinks are fantastic too.

Bin Yang

Mock eel 's flavor and crunch is spot on like the traditional non-mock dish; ends up with juicy umami packed mushrooms - it's great. Get the soup dumplings , ants on a tree , and the crispy chicken !

Robert Gleyberman

Pork soup dumplings are crack. As are the eggplant and bok choy apps. Dope cocktails + black tea ice cream was amazing. Can't wait to go back!

Ben K.

Really solid new Chinese spot in the burg with great cocktails . Pretty sure the entire menu is great but try the soup dumplings , cold sesame noodles , mapo dofu, and crispy garlic chicken .

AmateurConcierge

One of the better Chinese meals I've had in NYC lately. Pork dumplings , crispy garlic chicken and wilted greens were all good.

Emmett Dzieza

Fantastic creatively done Chinese. Great addition to the neighborhood . Also, ridiculous tiki drinks !

Terri R

Really delicious Chinese food , will definitely return! Things I tried and loved: Pork soup dumplings , Dan dan noodles , Radish cake appetizer , Kamehameha cocktail . The service was great, too!

Joseph L

Definitely the best Chinese in the area.Specials were amazing, dry fry was legit and classics like Mapo tofu and hot and sour soup were spot on. Everything was seriously delicious.

Marie Richer

The mock eel was really unique and tasty. The soup dumplings , pork cabbage soup and duck were all fine but average. Service, decor and cocktails were good though.

Kaya Grim

I come here with my family often! I like the Chinese hanging pork ribs , the Soy Braised crispy Pork Belly , the house kimchi , Dan Dan Mien, any fried rice , ants climbing a tree , and their Tiki Lemonade

Alex Pyatetsky

One of the best restaurants in Williamsburg. A Mecca of savory delights. Not cheap but portions big. May have to ask ingredients if paleo or keto , but all in all delicious. Ambiance cool too.

Matt Green

Mock eel was so good! (It's fried mushrooms ) I also liked the pork fried rice and the pork soup dumplings .

Sue Apfelbaum

must try the chicken dumplings in cinnamon red oil, the prawn fries , steel pot beef , the whole fish , the cocktails . so much love and care went into this menu.

Luc Doan

Mapo tofu , sesame noodles were great. Will be back to try more. Kamehameha cocktail was also perfect

Eddie P

Great space, great vibes, great drinks and friendly staff . But so much of the food was super, super salty. Not bad, but hope they back off on the salt.

kara silverman

Cocktails are delicious and strong. Ambiance is super fun. Double garlic eggplant is a must order.

AmateurConcierge

King K is the drink, mock eel is the veg , Kung Po with cashew sub is the chicken .

Saarim Zaman

Get the soup dumplings special (if they're available). The mock eel is definitely the star of the show though, so definitely don't skip that

Melissa Yu

Weeping tiger salad was delicious. Dan dan mien was raging spicy and I eat REAL spicy food .

Niran Babalola

The dan dan noodles are incredible. Soup dumplings aren't on the menu, but you'll probably be able to order them anyway. Do it.

Christopher T

Dan Dan Mien, Mock Eel , Double Garlic Eggplant all delicious. String beans looked amazing. Great drinks. XLB (special) are better elsewhere (my fav: Shanghai 21 on Mott.)

Graylyn Roose

Best Chinese food I've had outside of Chinatown. It's even better than some Chinatown places. Dumplings are wonderful, so are the noodles . Be prepared to wait though!

LaDawn Penigar-Mitchell

Best Chinese in Williamsburg, hands down! Drinks are great, wonderful for groups, good plates for sharing and food is beyond tasty. Amazing service as well !

Kimberly LaBlues

Delicious dumplings , pea shoots , crispy chicken , Dan Dan noodles .. Crispy dry fry ????amazing food!!! Fave drink here: Moscow mule

Luyba Zeylikman

Cozy meal in Williamsburg. Dumplings were the highlight we tried the pork shumai and of course the soup dumplings

Bre

They weren't kidding about the mock eel — amazing. (And this is coming from someone who usually hates mushrooms !)

Kate Furman

Skip the soup dumpling , get the roasted chicken , garlic eggplant and sesame noodles .

Danny Nathan

Best sit-down Chinese food in the hood. Great cocktails , plenty of veggie options . A bit expensive .

miles lennon

Best Chinese food I've had in NYC. Make sure to get dumplings , spare ribs and string beans .

Tim McClure

Everything is good here - pork/shrimp shumai , Copper Well Street noodle and steel pot beef are all favorites.

Will Mahony

You could come just for dumplings and cocktails . Hard to go wrong

Rami Haykal-Manning

Soup dumplings were spot on, better than any other ones in the area. Cold Noodles were similar to those of Mission Chinese. Garlic chicken was tasty but a bit hard to eat. Spring rolls were ok.

Emily Wilson

The mock eel is the must-have dish here. The soup dumplings and the sesame noodles are great, too.

Sarah Brink

My favourite Chinese food I've ever had hands down. Super quaint location with great decor.

Sunny H

The chili oil noodles were great, nice and spicy . The standout dish for me was the Hot & Sour soup and the soup dumplings were overrated.

Jean Tran

Must get the peashoots and mu shu duck ! Also the cocktail special was amazing

Carps

In love with the Dan Dan noodles . The scallop spring rolls are fantastic as well ????????

Bram Hubbell

The cold sesame noodles and the mock eel are incredible! Lots of vegan options !

Swift Swift

Soup dumplings are first come first serve and they run out regularly. Come early if you want them!

Amanda Hu

Literally everything we tried here was great. Moscow mules , eggplant , pork buns , noodles .

Geoffrey Haratyk

Everything we ate was tasty: Ribs , spring rolls , dumplings , cold noodles . Even the cocktail (mai tai ) was delicious.

Amanda Hu

Hip trendy vibe. Dim lights . Fancified Chinese food (not in a bad way). Really good cocktails

Alex Robertson

Good food. Surprisingly huge. Wouldn’t say any of it amazed me tho. Long bean ????????

Alessandra

Dan Dan noodles and soup dumplings are great! Plus Meg is a fantastic bartender !

Chloe Heath

Hands down, best Chinese I've ever had. Everything is delicious - worth the wait.

Frances MacLeod

Always dumplings , then a bunch of stuff to share. Their specials (especially veggies ) are consistently delicious and trustworthy.
