Generally the food was pretty good, we came for the Peking duck and had called in ahead of time to reserve it.
Shrimp & truffle dumplings: this was delicious, so rich and flavor (but $$$$)
Shrimp stuffed crispy chicken: this tastes the best when hot (and crispy obv), very interesting but I think the chicken itself lacked a lil flavor.
Peking duck: the duck in general was good but I wouldn’t say it is authentic unfortunately. They gave plenty of cucumbers and green onions though, which was good!
Lobster fried rice: also $$$$$ - the lobster was a bit fishier than I had originally expected and the rice a bit soggy unfortunately.
The drinks were also pretty good and we liked the vibe as well! Definitely an expensive place though
My partner is a great fan of Chinese food, while I’m not a huge one. She enjoyed every bit of our evening and admittedly so did I!
The cocktails were very creative and complemented the dishes nicely.
We had the crispy beef, five flavour chicken dumpling, broccoli and mushroom main and the duck with noodles. All were amazingly delicious and special, not too fatty and very juicy.
Will go back again.
Honestly, the food is pretty good, but not the best value. The Peking duck is one of the best I’ve had in nyc so far… but not the best I’ve had for what I’m paying. Dumplings were delicious, but for ~$20 avg. for 4 small dumplings, it’s hard to justify that spend. However, since I did enjoy my meal, I would come back for the right occasion.
One of our new favorite restaurants! Super fresh, elevated Chinese. The Peking duck hit that perfect sweet spot between crackling skin and succulent meat. The pea vine in garlic sauce, bacon and egg fried rice, xiao lang bao were all outstanding. Plus everyone was so nice. A perfect Christmas lunch in NYC!
Excellent service, the food could be better. I think some plates lacked flavor. I would avoid ordering more than one fried plate. The BBQ beef was great and there are a lot of options on the menu. I would come back to try something different.
Originally we were 4 people for dinner at Decoy, but then a local friend wanted to join us; however no space in Decoy so they accommodated us regardless and moved us up to their sister restaurant Red Farm, and still honored our wanting the duck. We all have the suck menu special which is a lot of food. The cocktails are very good here, and the service was stellar. I love the small New York restaurants that are privately owned. Pictures of everything except the steak are featured below.
The food here was amazing! The Peking duck was absolutely delicious, but all the other dishes were also very good. We ordered a few to share - lobster, fried rice, and soup dumplings. Our server was super friendly and gave us great recommendations of dishes to try!
Oxtail dumplings: outrageously delicious.
Crispy beef: so crispy that I wondered how it was made, and what percent is actually meat.
Peking duck: I thought the pancakes were especially tasty and texturally nice for their flour dusting. The duck itself I liked, but no more than the Peking duck I've had at lower prices. It's served with three sauces, one hoisin-based, one with I think cranberry that was interesting, and ordinarily there's a peanut sauce that we substituted for the hoisin sauce due to a nut allergy. It's also served with miso-based shot (to drink!).
Only criticisms are the price point mentioned above, and the fact that we were seated at a communal table. At this price, that surprised me.
Another great restaurant that serves dim sum in a cozy and comfortable place. I feel it's super high end Chinese food because their putting exotic ingredients like black truffles. The staffs are friendly and attentive. The food was jam pack with all sorts of flavor. I recommend trying the soup dumpling with black truffle, just wow explosion of flavor from start to finish. Overall even though the price is high to eat here to me it's well worth it.
For Chinese food this place was surprisingly very good. The interior is very simple and all space is used for maximum seating (obviously not during Covid). The servers and service was exceptional. We were advised to order with our gut and they were not wrong.
The drinks were delicious, not sweet but smooth. The food was well prepared and flavorful. We odered the crispy beef, chicken dumplings, snow pea shrimp sumplings, egg roll (massive), crispy fried rice, short ribs, three chilly chicken and key lime pie. All were delicious but the three chilly chicken wasn't anything to rave about.
