Calle Dao Bryant Park

Five stars all around, there are even some vegan options available however I wouldn’t come here with a vegan pal, there is too many non vegan delights on the menu. We had the yuca fries, build your own bao, cauliflower side and split the chicken and rice. (The fries and Baos not pictured) I love “Chino-Latino” cuisine it combines some of my favorite flavors, and the place does it at a very high level. My only regret is not coming in with a bigger appetite.

Verdict: Recommend Came here for brunch on a Saturday. Chino-cuban fusion was interesting and the food didn’t disappoint! Loved the interiors and vibe of this place. Loved the mushroom wantons, cuban sandwich springrolls and empanadas! I had the mapo maduro and it was such a delight! The drinks were really good, especially the spritz. The staff were awesome and friendly too. Hopefully could visit them again next time!

Great place for delicious food and drinks. I waited at the bar while my friend was on her way and got a Opium cocktail. It was fantastic with a great blend of flavors and not too sweet. Bartender was super nice and attentive. Also got the Ahumada and really enjoyed the mezcal and pomegranate combo. Amazing cocktails! For apps we got the steamed shrimp wontons and papas rellenas. Both and amazing flavors and textures. Shrimp was fresh and the Cuban beef was seasoned well. For entree I got the ropa vieja noodles. The brisket was delicious and the noodles were cooked perfectly. For dessert we shared the chilled dulce de leche souffle. Super light, fluffy, and mild. The mango coulis added a nice fruity element to the dessert. Great way to end the meal. I was super excited to try the Cuban and Chinese fusion and am pleased to see it was as delicious as I expected. Will be back again. Staff was all friendly and food came out at a nice pace.

Overall rating: 4.5 There’s something off about this place. I can’t place my finger on it. The concept is very intriguing and the restaurant itself is very pretty. But it’s missing the types of Cuban dishes or the flavor of Chinese dishes. I had the noodles, after watching a lot of TikToks on what not to order. They were good! They had some kick. But my friend got the fried rice and it was meh. I was surprised. It was very bland. Thought for sure it would have some fun Cuban flavors. It didn’t. The mojito thooo.. 😏👀 highly reco! The server was so friendly though even if I probably won’t be coming back. I think it could be worth trying. Maybe there are other better dishes?
