Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Chinatown

Very good Restaurant. The waiters did a perfect Job, the food was delicious and the ambiente was really nice. The Restaurant is small and it was very full, but the level of noise was totally ok. I can only recommend this Restaurant. Loved it.

The experience was truly exceptional, with outstanding food service and a captivating ambiance. The attentive staff provided warm hospitality, ensuring every need was met with efficiency and a friendly smile. The restaurant’s elegant decor and soft lighting created a sophisticated and inviting atmosphere, making it the perfect setting for a memorable meal. We eagerly anticipate our return in the new year.

Absolutely AMAZING! The way they paired each ingredient and flavor complimented each other. We shared the Apple & Gorgonzola salad and there was the perfect amount of dressing and ingredients in the entire salad & it was big enough to share as a starter. My husband had the broccolini pizza . I had a piece and it was one of the best gormet pizza’s I’ve ever had !! Again, the way they paired each ingredient was carefully selected and thoughtfully created! Yummmmm!! I can’t even begin to tell you how perfect it was! It was big enough to share as a starter or for one person as a main course. Finally, I had the Sea Bass . It was THE BEST sea bass I’ve ever had in my lifetime!!! They ,again,carefully selected each ingredient to compliment each other and to make each bite explode with delight in your mouth. The service was top notch. I forgot our servers name last night on 12/19/24, but she had light brown/blonde hair and she was FANTASTIC! This is coming from someone who had been in the restaurant biz my entire life as a server and a bartender with over 30 years experience. The support staff was also an A++ and our water glasses never went dry and they cleared and crumbed through each course. They were all on top of it! We didn’t have any cocktails so I can’t say how the drinks were but they looked delicious! They also have private little cabins outside in the winter to have some parties in for parties of 4-10, I’m guessing . It’s a pre fix menu for $95 a person and it looks to be a GREAT TIME OUTSIDE!! The indoor bar was very festive with Christmas decor and was absolutely GORGEOUS!! The entire ambiance was beautifully decorated for the holiday season. It put a smile on our faces! With over 25,000 restaurants to chose from in Manhattan,I am beyond HAPPY we came here! We will be back again! Thank you kindly to our server, support staff , cooks and chef. We loved every single bite!!

Wow. This may have been one of the best meals of my life… seriously. We had the tasting menu. And we love tasting menus - have had them all over the world and this rivaled a Michelin star restaurant in Rome (Imago - definitely check it out). Service impeccable. We had a 7pm show to attend and I asked ahead of time (on Open Table) if with a 5pm res (when they opened), could we make the show without a problem? And - they were totally on board - waitstaff were efficient, informative and friendly. Almost everything was on skewers, and I found out the next day (talking to a Korean friend about this gem) that “kochi” is Korean for “skewer!” Standouts were the beef (skirt steak I think) and the octopus but nothing tasted less than excellent.

The hostess was welcoming, attentive & all around fabulous...we ordered the buratta & the meatballs which was delicious, the Brussel sprouts were was too Al dente, the branzino was wonderful although small & the flavor of my steak was great but I'm one who from experience won't send a steak back when under cooked at a restaurant that's crazy busy, how a chef or server cannot see the difference between medium rare and medium well & delivers it after specifically being told no pink, no red, no blood is beyond me. Had I not waited on line behind 6 ppl to use the one bathroom I would have been there when my entree arrived. Without asking the server spoke to the manager & had the steak removed which was very thoughtful, however I would have preferred to eat my entree with my partner since it was our anniversary. We'll definitely try again on our next trip back home as everything else about this place was beautiful.
