I’ve been here twice with friends. Staff were nice, normal space. Food was good but definitely you pay for the experience in the prices. If you are familiar with Chinese food, then this might not be a place to visit necessarily, but if you r not, worth once.
Veggie dishes for vegan were surprisingly delicious! I highly recommend them. Especially the one in my pic (green slices)
Dandan noodles were ok. Classic flavor.
Same did the chive pancakes.
Tea-smoked duck was a little buttery and expensive.

No notes on this place. Simply outstanding food, great ambiance, perfect for coming with friends so you get to try a lot of the menu items. They were all fantastic. Would come back to keep on trying stuff for sure. Our favourtie dish was the crab tofu!
Highly recommend coming here! Thanks for the great experience

Just adding to the rave reviews: do not miss the cucumber salad, fei-hong fries, tea smoked duck, or caramelized eggplant. These were genuinely mind-blowing.
Also liked the crab tofu and the sautéed green beans, but the list above cannot be missed.

everything was absolutely delicious and there are tons n tons of vegetarian friendly options. mapo tofu was mouth numbingly good w the schezuan peppers and the cucumber salad and green beans are also a must try. I loved the storm cloud cocktail!! Great spot for a birthday and it’s very spacious and beautiful!! Portion sizes are also substantial

Wow. I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while, and this went above and beyond my expectations. I eat a lot of Szechuan food so my standards are pretty high and I’d have to say that this place has shot up to the near top of my list. Probably the best take on Chungking style fried chicken I’ve had yet and the sliced fish stew dish was unreal. We also had the woodear mushroom salad and pork soup dumplings as starters. Everything was packed with flavor but I’d have to say that fish dish was the highlight. Cannot wait to order that again. On top of the amazing food (not to mention the incredible cocktails), the service was impeccable , and the live jazz was sublime; a very pleasant surprise. A 10/10 experience. Would love to see their take on 3-pepper chicken on the menu someday but needless to say, I’ll be back soon.

Really loved the sharing plates style of eating. Among our party of 4 we split 3 small plates and then 2 larger mains. The vegetarian options on this menu were standout, boasting a large, dedicated section of the menu as well as other dishes throughout the menu. The green beans were fantastic, and we really loved the soup dumplings. The whole steamed fish was good too, just felt it needed some more salty & textural elements. But well cooked.
The space was elevated industrial and very dynamic, but funnily, the kitchen closed at 9:30 on a Thursday and they turned the lights on at 10 to start closing out tabs and clearing tables. So definitely book an earlier dinner for a weekday night if you can! If like us, you’re only free for a late dinner, just be prepared!

My friends and I had a great time dining at Antidote! I liked all the dishes we ordered, and everyone had different favorite items. I would definitely go back to try the rest of their menu! Definitely a loud restaurant but overall enjoyable

Delicious food and wonderful atmosphere. Very comfortable for a party of 7 that could’ve accommodated 10 easily. We ordered multiple dishes and every dish was very authentic to my Cantonese taste buds. Staff spoke Cantonese as well which surprised me. I knew the food was going to be good. Would recommend anyone who doesn’t want to take a trip to Chinatown for food and wants authentic tasting Chinese food

If you’re looking for good authentic Chinese food but a more modern setting, the Antidote is the perfect choice! Was looking for a Chinese restaurant with vegetarian options but in more modern setting that would be suitable to catch up with a few family friends. The restaurant is nicely decorated, spacious with lovely greenery touches. We went on a Saturday afternoon right as they opened. Definitely suggest making a reservation because they do get busy pretty quick. Food was delicious (even my Chinese aunties complimented the taste of everything). Price-wise it is definitely more expensive than your average Chinese restaurant but worth it. Staff were attentive but not overbearing (I hate when they constantly hover around). Overall it was a great dining experience, definitely would recommend to others.

Great Chinese restaurant with a live band jazz! The vegetables were to die for, the meats were on the drier side but ok, it was a bit too loud because it was packed but a great atmosphere with the live music. Will definitely go back!
