Came here again for Christmas dinner and it was great overall. We always love coming here for their Peking duck and it’s consistently so good. The duck skin was super crispy, the quality of the meat was excellent, and it paired really well with the sides. The slices of pie were also chewy and served hot which made them really good. The duck was better than the beef short rib. The short rib tasted more like an American style short rib, which was not that good and outstanding. The scallop was very soft, and the sticky char siu pork rib was delicious. The desserts were a bit disappointing though. The red bean layer for redbean chocolate cake was so thin I could barely taste it and both the cake and pear cake were just okay, nothing special.
Loved their veggies! Brussel sprouts and pea shoots were so good.

Service was stellar. Every course exceeded expectations. The pecking duck was phenomenal- it is a build your own taco style.
Brussels sprouts were amazing and perfectly cooked. You cannot go wrong with any soup dumplings. Dan Dan noodles were great with a mild kick.

Welcoming spot with great bar seating for multiple people or eating solo. Staff is welcoming and ask right away if you have allergies. They make suggestions and are attentive. The decor is festive with subtle music. Can hear yourself talk . Food is clean and fresh, .Vegetables are crisp, cooked oerfectly and main dish was very savory. The rice is perfectly cooked to compliment the dishes.Highly recommend for anyone needing a tasty meal and friendly environmentStop in!!!.

My friends and I wanted Asian food after a long day gallery hopping in Chelsea, we decided to come here. The wait was not long and we were helped by our waitress immediately! Our glass was never empty, ever. They were good at making us feel good! It was a fun way to end our night before another long day tomorrow!

Chinese in SOHO? Yes it works. Food was on point, we got the pork soup dumplings, green beans, steak fried rice, dan dan noodles and their Peking Duck!!!

If you want the duck order early, it takes 45 min. But the duck was delicious and came with lots of meat and the crepes!!!

Oh save room for dessert!

Great for family, friends and dates.

Will definitely be returning! Jack O was our server- very personable and guided us with some great selections!

Went here for a date night and was not disappointed. Tried the pork soup dumplings, fried beef dumplings, pork ribs, Brussels sprouts, and wagyu fried rice.

Dumplings were amazing and was thinking about them days after the visit. Pork truly did fall off the bone- these do have a dry rub on them vs a sauce. Brussels sprouts were fried perfectly- great flavor. The rice was probably our least favorite of the meal. Beef was great, but wanted more flavor in the rice. A chili oil would’ve been nice with that.

Very full/lively- and tables are fairly close together in the small space so was quite loud at times.

So disappointing. The food was so mediocre and the Peking duck took forever to come. I had already reserved a duck beforehand but after ordering food and confirming my reservation, it took around 45 minutes to come. Also, the service was fairly poor with servers being unresponsive and minding their own business instead of actually serving your needs.

The food here is absolutely amazing. We had multiple dumplings (veggie, chicken soup, and fried beef), the marinated cucumber, the steak fried rice, the brussel sprouts, and dessert, and everything was delicious. The dumplings were super flavorful and juicy. We also go the wine flight, and that was a delight. The wine list is super impressive.

My partner and I visited this restaurant for a date night on a Saturday. Making a reservation was easy, and the staff were very friendly. However, the space is quite small, so seating is limited. We were placed at the counter instead of a table, and given how close the seating is, chances are you’ll end up at the bar or counter as well. This wasn’t a huge issue for us, but it’s something to keep in mind.

Now, onto the food—it was very average. I ordered the shrimp fried rice, and my partner had the chicken with white rice. Both dishes lacked flavor and tasted quite bland. I also ordered the dumplings, which were disappointing—the filling was tasteless, and the texture was slightly rubbery.

The drinks were another letdown. Mine was overly watery and tasted more like juice than a well-balanced cocktail. I even had to send it back, but unfortunately, it wasn’t much better the second time. For the price, I expected much better quality.

Speaking of pricing, the portions were on the smaller side, which I personally don’t mind, but some may find them too small for the cost. Given that it’s located in SoHo, the higher prices make sense, but the food simply didn’t justify them.

Overall, I won’t be returning. The food was basic, the drinks were disappointing, and it just wasn’t worth it.
