Elaine He: Definitely try the roast duck.
Raphael Langenscheidt: Best Schnitzel I've had in NYC. Wonderful people, nice vibe. Skip the sweetbread ravioli, they're a bit too soggy. Overall though - definitely worth a visit.
Michelin Travel & Lifestyle: A few doors down the chef has a wine bar, the Upholstery Store with a global assortment of wines and reasonably priced snack to match with the chefs signature Austrian influence. - Inspector

Claudio Espinal: Everything we had was outstanding but the star of the show was the Roast Duck Flambé. Milk braised pork shoulder and yellowtail were also exceptional. Need to revisit for the burger, pies and fries!
IrmaZandl ZandlSlant: Ask to be seated in the back room with the fireplace. the pork was amazing, the truffle fries (yum) and the bone marrow creme brulee is not to be missed.
Eduardo Polit: This place is like if The Spotted pig sleeps with Minetta Tavern and they have an ugly talentless child....that you have to pay a lot just to look at it.

Tudor Leu: The first bite of the wide rice noodle with roast duck brought back memories of Hong Kong. This place is for real, if only a bit too pricey.
Elena V.: Great soup dumplings! Noodle dishes not much different from C-town joints such as roast duck noodles although meat quality is slightly superior. Pastrami is indeed like Katz. Boring dessert options.
julia t: Great dumplings and dim sum. Love the crispy beef. Husband likes the pastrami spring roll - a bit dense and dry for me!

New York Post: Keep it simple here and go with the restaurant’s eponym, lumpia ($7) - they're Filipino-inspired spring rolls. Also worth trying: the roasted duck version, with a kick of Sriracha and hoisin sauce. Read more.

WEI WEI: The Peking Duck is actually really good even in the standard of a Beijing local, aka. me, who had hundreds of roasted ducks in Beijing. The portion is like 3 to 4 entries.
Ryan: The best meal of our lives. The staff is just wonderful. Oxtail Dumplings are a must have!
Thrillist: Order one whole duck ahead of time, and then you get to choose small plates, a side dish or veggie fried rice, and a main in different amounts. Any way you do it, it's actually a pretty decent deal. Read more.

Alice Daer: Go to Sammy's Noodle Shop and eat a fortune cookie. Read the fortune aloud to the cashier.

Netsirk: Cute ambience inside and outside. If you like spicy food, try their curry dishes and ask for extra spice. Really tasty and spicy!
Andrew Cerda: The Crab Rangoon has innards consisting of a mildly spicy, creamy yellow curry cabbage. It's delicious, especially when paired with the sweet and (red pepper) spicy sauce.
Rajat: It's not San Francisco thai food--but it comes close. Pad Thai is great, avoid the duck salad, waaaay too much sodium
