Really solid Chinese food - the restaurant looks upscale and it's on the pricier side but the portions are actually pretty good and quality of food was worth it. We ordered cucumber salad, poached chicken, mung bean jelly, salt and pepper cartilage, and braised pork belly. I really liked how they added cilantro to the cucumber salad. But overall our fav was braised pork belly - they didn't skimp on meat at all, very tender, and not too sweet. I'd come back again!

Beautiful restaurant! They were able to accommodate our party of three as a walk in on a Saturday at 4:30. Food on each table looked better than the next. Super enjoyable! We got the string beans which were super flavorful and delicious. We also got the mapu tofu which was INSANE. the tofu was the perfect texture. The best thing we got was for sure the chicken. I mean LOOK AT THE PICTURE !!! It was so spicy my mouth was on fire but wow. The chicken was so juicy and crispy and I will definitely be coming back.

Solid food and good creativity. Friends had recommended this place and it did not disappoint. The Dynamite shrimp was my favorite! +It was served in a cool dry ice fog, which is a neat touch. We also ordered the Mala Trio, braised pork, cumin lamb, and string beans. Across the board, each dish was delicious and presented well. Our group ended the meal full and satisfied. Service was good and the interior is well decorated. We made a reservation and had little wait time.

Great hidden gem around midtown! My friend and I decided to stop by here for a quick dinner in the city and had a great time. The staff was very friendly and proactive (even gave me a wet towel when I spilled food on my shirt). There is plenty of indoor seating with a very cozy/modern feel. We ordered the cucumber salad, Dan Dan noodles and the chicken fried rice. I really enjoyed the cucumber salad sauce and how crispy/fresh they were. The Dan dan noodles also had great flavors though I wish there was a bit more bok Choi/veggies. The fried rice was really great with lots of toppings and veggies.

Had a light dinner and ordered spicy chicken, mala trio, and Dan Dan noodles. Loved everything in the mala trio - everything was spicy but had different types of flavors and spice. My favorite thing I had the whole meal was the spicy cucumbers - they were very flavorful and so crunchy. The Dan Dan noodles were pretty good. Spicy chicken was not worth it. It was small and very dry pieces of chicken, might have been about one cubed chicken breast. Flavor was alright but very very dry.

Incredible food, service, and ambiance. The staff was very accommodating with allergies. Will definitely be back to try more items!

Delicious food, good atmosphere and fast service, will come back next time we are in the city!

Delicious food and amazing service. Ordered the eggplant, cucumber salad, and beef. Nice atmosphere and although very busy, very quick service!

Cute restaurant inside. We went at 10:30PM and was surprised to see the place was quite busy at this late. I was craving for Chinese food and happy find this place near hotel and open until 1AM. It has a full bar, a good size dinning area, and private rooms. Good ambiance with a few framed Chinese calligraphy on the wall. Although busy at 10:30PM, we received good service. Food is excellent! Good presentation and flavorful. The mashed eggplant and peppers were tasty with the right cooked texture, soft yet not mushy. The cumin lamb has the right amount of spices and is at our spicy level. It is strange that everyone likes the spicy level as I like little spicy while my family members like very spicy food. It made an impression on my kid and declared, "I will order this dish every time I go to a Chinese restaurant and leant to make it at home." Thanks for an enjoyable meal and satisfied my Chinese food craving at this hour!

I went to this newer Chinese restaurant a while back with a group. They're apparently related to Spy C Cuisine in Queens. The prices are a tad high but the presentation is nice and as it's a large restaurant in Midtown West, some of the price point comes from that so it's partially excusable. They have a lot of Szechuan dishes but also some dishes from other areas of China along with some American Chinese food. The inside is nice with a lot of space for all of us and the service was friendly. To drink, they have a nice cocktail selection but I had a pot of tea which was served in a nice pot. I think it was $8 or so which was fine for the high quality tea (Da Hong Pao I believe or Iron Goddess [some type of fancy oolong].) We shared a bunch of dishes as per normal. The best of the small plates was the Duck In Pancake With Cucumber And Scallion which consisted of four pieces (we ordered two of them) which was their version of a stuffed scallion pancake. It was perhaps a tad oily but the flavor was excellent with plenty of tender duck. I would recommend it to split. The other small plate was the Crab Pork Soup Dumplings/Xiao Long Bao. The XLB skin could have been a bit thinner but the filling had plenty of meat inside with a good amount of roe to add a bit of welcome brininess. The soup base was probably the weakest part but still fine. There was of course the normal mix of ginger and vinegar on the side to add. For the larger dishes, the best of the bunch was the Fish Fillet In Pickled Cabbage Soup. The fish was very tender, there was plenty of it, and the spice kick was just right. It was very comparable; though perhaps slightly less spicy; to what is probably the best version in the city at Peppercorn Station. The Spicy Cumin Lamb was pretty good. The lamb was very tender and honestly cooked better than many other spots but the cumin and heat was a bit lighter. I have had spicier/more flavorful versions at spots like Szechuan Mountain House among other places but the lamb here has a better texture so take your pick. One of the more interesting dishes was the Pyramid Pork Belly which is apparently no longer on the menu. The pork belly was very tender and stuffed with a mix of pickled vegetables and Castelvetrano olives. The filling reminded me a bit of Chinese medicine with it's bitterness and slight saltiness. I'm used to pork belly dishes in Szechuan places being a bit overly fatty/rich such as Twice Cooked Pork Belly or Braised Pork Belly so this was a welcome surprise but perhaps it wasn't that popular this way or maybe because of the price point as I think this was around $40. We also ordered two Crispy Half Ducks. It was not the best for the style but still not bad. The meat was solid as per the duck in pancake and the skin had some crisp to it. It was perhaps a bit boney and overpriced but the flavors were fine. There's better for cheaper but for the area, not many complaints. Best presented of the larger plates was the Crispy Shrimp With Salted Egg Yolk. The dish had some smoke when presented and there was some crispy noodles or something similar on top of the shrimp as well. The dish had a mix of spiciness and sweetness and the closest thing I can think of to this unique dish is probably the shrimp and pineapple dish you find at Traif. The only vegetarian dish we got was the Stir Fried Pea Shoots. They were fine with plenty of garlic which was a good touch. If you want something lighter with your dish, I would recommend them. The food here was solid. Not the best but if you're looking for a solid Szechuan spot in the area, you can do much much worse. Low 4
