By far my most favorite Sichuan food in new york city. The dandan noodles are something you ought to try! The ambience is great as well and its suitable for small as well as big groups. Servers were friendly. read more

I went to Antidote for a friend's birthday dinner and I was wowed! I rarely get the chance to try new Chinese restaurants and I was pleasantly surprised! The restaurant was pretty with modern Brooklyn charm. The service was good and the food was great! The dish that I can't seem to forget about is the Eggplants with Garlic sauce (not pictured.) During dinner, I ate that with rice and I could not stop. It was super addicting and probably one of the best chinese eggplant dish I've ever had. I would 100% go back to Antidote to just eat the Eggplant. read more

Very nice ambiance, with some star dishes and live jazz music in the back. EXTREMELY fast service too... our appetizers were served almost right away and our mains quickly followed... we were in and out within an hour. We ordered a LOT of food (16 dishes for 7 people lol) but it actually ended up being enough food... we finished almost everything! For small dishes: -Cucumber (5/5): such a highlight. so crunchy and refreshing -Woodear mushroom salad (4/5): really delicious, but not my favorite woodear mushroom salad I have ever had -Spicy cabbage (5/5): also a standout. The cabbage was crunchy and super refreshing -Dan dan noodles (3.5/5): good, but not outstanding in any particular away. Noodles are thin with a nice texture. -Sichuan noodles (3.5/5): same (also nothing special)... these are definitely spicier and it is nice that it is a cold noodle, which is refreshing for a summer noodle. For mains: -Tomato soup with fatty beef (4/5): I was pretty excited about this and it did not disappoint! The soup was slightly thicker than I expected but the fatty beef was delicious and loved how the enoki mushroom and glass noodles really soaked up the broth -Pea shoots (3.5/5): solid, but can do without. nothing special. -Numbing Rib Eye Cubes (5/5): honestly this was a standout dish. the rib eye cubes were so tender! -Egg tofu with enoki mushroom (5/5): this dish was also so standout. The egg tofu was lightly crisp on the outside and it was so soft, almost a custardy texture in the inside. Must get this dish... haven't seen it at other Chinese restaurants -Cabbage with soy sauce (5/5): loved this veggie... cabbage was crunchy and garlicky. Just wish garlic was a bit more fried or in smaller pieces so it is more pleasant to eat -String beans (5/5): also loved the string beans here. Not too oily, had that a nice bite with the lightly fried exterior -Crab Tofu (3.5/5): It was good, but I feel like I had better crab tofu at other restaurants. It is very soft though -Chili Fried Chicken (3/5): I'm not a big fan of fried chicken, but other people really enjoyed it. The pieces of chicken are really small, but it is juicy when you get a good bite. -Duck fried rice (3/5): rice is cooked well, but there could have been more flavor to this dish -Cumin Lamb (2.5/5): was not the biggest fan of this dish.. definitely have had better cooked lamb. Could have been more tender and chewy. Very flavorful though. -Steamed fish with green peppers (2/5/5): also not a huge fan of this dish. Fish was good, but not nearly as tender and soft as I was hoping for. Also, not too much flavor. Overall, the restaurant gives similar vibes as Uluh in Manhattan, but with a larger and more lovely interior with live jazz! read more

This place was amazing! I want to return and try so many more items. First of all, the sultry vibes in this place make you feel like you're in the coolest place in town. I am now officially hooked on wood ear mushrooms. This dish was well balanced with spice, acidity and texture. It was masterful and definitely a must have. The crispy spice chicken was delicious and so spicy it made a part of my tongue go numb and had a tingling sensation. Pretty cool but by no means do they need to give that many peppers in a dish - a bit overloaded. read more

This was a pretty solid place for more upscale Chinese food, with a mix of standard Sichuan-leaning cuisine and modern twists. We got the duck fried rice, Dandan noodles, eggplants with garlic sauce, and crab tofu. Everything was solid to fairly good, with the eggplant and crab tofu being my favorites. The crab tofu was really tender with a nice crab flavor on the sauce. The fried rice with duck was decent as was the Dandan noodles but neither of those was particularly out of the ordinary. Overall this is definitely a solid place for a date night or just more upscale Chinese food. read more

Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Experience: 4/5 My party of 2 made a reservation, and we were able to get seated right away. If you are 2 people, there's a whole row of two-seater tables, and it was a little too close to others in my opinion while the rest of the tables are for larger parties. It's a bit industrial looking inside, but I liked it. We ordered the twice cooked pork, wood ear mushroom salad, and the fish blossom. The twice cooked pork stole the show as the pork was so tender yet crispy and perfectly umami. The fish blossom was beautifully presented and the sauce goes well with the rice; the sauce is more sweet, but I did not mind that. The wood ear mushroom salad was so refreshing; it's got a tangy taste and it's got texture. I was pleasantly surprised, and I will be coming back. read more

Phenomenal food! Everything here is a must-try! The portions are great for sharing and there's something for everyone. The Fei Hong fries are a crowd favorite (perfect spice and crunch of the peppers!) My go-to dish is the crab tofu because it's savory and full of umami. If you love salted egg yolk, you will love this dish with white jasmine rice. We tried the Dongpo Pork and it was extremely tender & flavorful. The Dan Dan noodles and crab fried rice were solid dishes as well (for your carb fix) read more

Antidote is in a beautiful space right off Wythe in Williamsburg, we had a group dinner there last week and absolutely loved it. When we arrived they told us we had 90 minutes for a table of 6 with a reservation, which seemed a little rushed, but the food and drinks came out so efficiently it didn't end up being a rush at all. The food was fantastic, really well executed sichuan specialties. Their Dan Dan, Mapo Tofu, Chongqing Chicken and Cumin lamb all were executed about as well as you can get. We also got soup dumplings out of curiosity at a Sichuan restaurant, and they were fine but nothing special. The big surprise was our curiosity got the best of us on their special of the night (mango chicken) which was essentially a dressed up Sweet & Sour Chicken (yes there's some shame ordering it at a restaurant like this, but also hope they'd elevate it). It paired really well with the Sichuan dishes! It was much better than the normal American-Chinese rendition, and the light sweetness helped cut the salt and heat of all the wonderful Sichuan dishes. Lastly, we drank a lot of cocktails, and they were all very good. I never remember the name of cocktails when they're specialist, but everyone enjoyed every one they had. read more

I first came to Antidote two years ago and had such a memorable experience that I've always wanted to come back! Coming back today, I was so happy to see (and taste) that the food here is consistently amazing with insanely fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared entrees. I had the joy of trying the scallion pancakes (so flaky, unbelievably great sauce), the fried rice with smoked duck (so smoky and rich), the glazed eggplant (flavor is out of this world, came out piping hot) and the spare ribs (fall off the bone tender, great spice kick without being overly spicy). I also had a lychee mocktail that was delicious and not too sweet! The ambiance is well decorated, with plenty of warm ambient lighting and decent space between tables so you don't feel too on top of other diners. The servers were also super friendly and great at clearing our finished plates. I'll be back again and again--this is truly one of the best restaurants ever! read more

I've been to antidote twice now and i can truly say I'm an absolute fan. The ambience here is really nice. It's a perfect place for a date. A place to take a client. Your mother, whoever. It doesn't really matter. It all works. You guys. The food here is so good. I feel like I've had it all. Absolute musts: The cucumbers Yes, i said cucumbers. I am still trying to figure out how they slice them so nearly like that. And tossed in scallion & ginger sauce with some sesame oil. Wow. I would go just for three, honestly. Spicy cabbage Normally, i do not like spicy but this is the next must. If you come here and don't get this you didn't do yourself a proper visit. It's simple- cabbage, chili and mixed vegetable but so so so so delicious. Scallion pancake Just because Here some others to get: Fei- hong fries Wonton in chili sauce Pork dumplings in chili sauce Chicken soup dumplings This place is a treasure trove of good food. Eat up and enjoy. read more

This place is phenomenal. We ate here on Christmas and loved every single dish we ordered. We got the wonton in chili oil, scallion pancake, har gow 4, sichuan chili fried chicken, shredded beef with green peppers, hunan style beef, garlic pea shoots, and the homestyle tofu. The highlights were definitely the wontons in chili oil and the shredded beef with green peppers. I probably wouldn't order the homestyle tofu again; maybe I'd try the Mapo tofu instead. Can't wait to come back! read more

I LOVED ANTIDOTE. This mean was so satisfying AND new to me. The chili fries seemed like a weird thing to order but they are a must! Along with the miso eggplant that had me excited to eat it the next morning. We also tried the fish green peppercorn soup which was so unique to anything I'd tasted but not my favorite. The dark and sultry vibe of the restaurant would be perfect for a date or birthday. I'd absolutely jump at the chance to come here again. read more

They have a big menu from dim sum appetizers to bigger entries, noodles, rice, and veggies. Everything we tried was great. Portions are smaller than what you might get in Chinatown, but it's still pretty good. We left stuffed and also felt that the meal was pretty reasonably priced. Would go back for sure. read more

Antidote really impressed me with its solid flavors and overall vibe. The dishes were well-executed, with flavors that hit the mark. My grandparents, who are very traditional when it comes to food (and *very* Chinese), absolutely loved it, which is no small feat! It's always a good sign when even the most discerning palates are on board. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, perfect for a casual yet elevated meal. And the cocktails? They were fantastic! I was pleasantly surprised by how creative and refreshing they were. Definitely a great spot for anyone looking for a nice balance of good food, great drinks, and a comfortable setting. read more

Popular Sichuan food in Brooklyn. Overall, as a Sichuan food lover, I was not impressed :/ the only dishes i really liked and thought were authentic were the pig ears and the sliced pork in chili oil. The fish stew with fresh green peppercorn was not bad, but the beef in chili oil was horrendous.... Way too much oil and had a very odd flavor. Not sure why this place is so popular, but it's nothing compared to good Sichuan food in Manhattan. read more

I am so happy I was able to stop by at this place finally. It's been on my restaurant list for a while and it did not dissapoint. The ambiance is really chic and cool. When you come in you immediately know you're in a curated space- with the neon sign, the plants, and at all the Chinese-inspired decor. The music fits perfectly too- with a lot of house and vibey beats. It was genuinely a lovely space. The food itself was really good too. The meals were spicy- as too be expected, but nothing was ever too much. We had some iconic dishes like dan dan noodles, shrimp shumai and pork soup dumplings. We also had the chicken and oyster mushrooms, and wood ear mushroom salad (which was super refreshing!) My only qualm would be that the dishes are a tad bit small for the price. But surprisingly, my group and I felt very satisfied afterwards. Its likely the quality of the meal :) The service was also very pleasant and quick. The waiters were very accomodating about dietary resitrictions and knowledgeable about the food. My cup was never empty! Would definitley recommend! read more

Flavorful food and great cocktails in a trendy part of Brooklyn (Williamsburg). Made a reservation for a bigger party and were seated promptly. Ordered a bit of everything: - 2 orders of: wontons in chili oil, scallion pancake, sautéed string beans, Sichuan chili chicken - 1 order of: crab tofu, mapo tofu, fish in chili oil, dongpo pork, beef tripe in chili oil, sesame cold noodles, and eggplant in garlic sauce. To start off, a couple of us enjoyed some of the alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages: Suntory Story, Daolug, Chill Out, Be Passion, and Strawberry Puree Mocktail. Drinks were well-mixed and on the sweet side, you couldn't taste the alcohol (which is a delight but also quite dangerous). For the apps, all were enjoyable and flavorful. Our party thoroughly enjoyed the wontons in chili oil, scallion pancake, and eggplant in garlic sauce most. The cold noodles, string beans, and beef tripe in chili oil were average and nothing too remarkable. For mains, all were a mixed review. The Sichuan fried chicken was all fry and no flavor or heat, which was to our dismay. The crab tofu was extremely crabby and the flavor of salted egg yolk was strong - if you are not a fan of either, you will not enjoy this dish. Mapo tofu was nothing special. Fish in chili oil was slightly bland - the fish texture was also a bit too soft, which some may not enjoy. The dongpo pork was flavorful and tender, however very fatty (made up majority of the meat). As for desserts, we got both of their offerings: salted egg yolk bun and rice cakes with a brown sugar syrup. The egg yolk bun is nothing special - the classic dim sum sweet treat. The toasted rice cakes with soybean powder and brown sugar syrup was the perfect asian dessert - sweet but not too sweet. Thank you so much to the manager/staff for the two desserts - they surprised us with it being on the house after we told them it was for a birthday! Overall, some dishes were a hit and some were a miss. However, it is still worth coming and dining in at this Restaurant. Some dishes were hits and some could've been better. Definitely don't miss out on their cocktails. Thank you so much to the staff for making it an enjoyable and smooth experience - for being patient with us and celebrating a birthday with us! read more

Finally got to check out Antidote over the weekend and I was quite excited. I love beautifully decorated restaurant that is thought out with every details but yet looking effortless. Let's just say every angle was instagrammable and almost has an artistic minimalistic vibe. We arrived around 2pm on a Sunday without reservation and luckily they were able to seat us right away. Perhaps we were lucky or just came at the right timing but I like to believe it was both. As for their seats, they were very comfortable and with the hanging plants and sunroof, the restaurant felt perfect. The staff was very friendly and attentive and they gave us enough time to decide on our choosing which was nice considering most chinese restaurant move at a very pace. We ended up ordering their fish soup, fried fish encrusted in salted egg yolk and their dan dan noodles. Flavor wise, it was on point but the crazy amount of salt was just way too much and kinda ruin the flavor itself. I found myself drinking water constantly and asking for refills. If the chef wasn't so heavy handed with the sodium, they would have received the extra star. Food wise, they get 3 stars but decor wise they definitely deserve their 5 start which average them out to 4 star total. read more

Feel like they can do something about the tables for 2. They spaced them so close together that you're essentially right next to the other tables, listening to their conversations as well, it was uncomfortable. There was barely enough space to walk between the tables to sit. Restaurant had plenty of space too so they could definitely have moved 2 tables so we weren't all sitting on top of each other. Got a cocktail, Slow Ride. Disappointing drink, just a giant ice cube, didn't taste much else in the drink. For food, we had the leshan chicken which is a cold dish. It was spicy and went well with white rice. Tea smoked duck was also good. read more

Authentic and delicious chinese spot located in Brooklyn! As soon as I walked in I was greeted with a beautiful space that was very modern and complimented with plants. The food was incredible, my favorite was the salted egg yolk and crab tofu which I would highly recommend! Also loved the chili fish and my only complaint was that the cucumber salad was a little salty but the flavors were still phenomenal. They also have a larger table off the to the side making it the perfect place to host a birthday dinner! read more

I enjoyed this place. It was very packed and loud so we had to yell our questions but the waiter was so kind and patient. I enjoyed the eggplant dish my cousin ordered more than the beef dish I chose. Eggplant was delicious. The beef had a numbing effect (possibly cooked with peppercorns). If I knew that I wouldn't have ordered it. Aside from the numbing effect it had an amazing flavor! I will be back to try other things! The scallion pancakes were the highlight for me. read more

It sucks when the food is pretty good but then the service has to bring it down a notch! Overall I enjoyed the food and the cool ambiance - the Gulu chicken was excellent, loved the vegetarian Dan Dan noodles, the spicy prawns and chicken soup dumplings - but the mapo tofu was just not it tonight. It came very very soft (I think it had been slightly overcooked), softer than your average mapo tofu dish, and hard to enjoy because it sort of disintegrated in your mouth in a weird way. I tried to explain this to the waiter and then the manager but unfortunately she did not seem to believe me. In my opinion, the customer is always right and they refused to let me return the dish even though we had only taken one or two small bites of it before my party unanimously agreed something seemed off. I was pretty surprised that the manager spoke back to me and said I was wrong in the way I felt about the dish. I'm an experienced Asian food critic, I know when something doesn't taste or feel right. read more

Decor and ambiance is A+ but the restaurant was a bit chilly. A couple of the other customers and I were still wearing our jackets inside the restuarant. However, the food is just like any other average Szechuan food out there. Started the meal off with the "Scallion Pancake" which was good, the sauce was sweet and the pancakes were crispy. Ordered the "Sui Mai with Tea Smoked Duck" which was pretty salty, wasn't worth the price to be honest. Sautéed string beans was also good but too salty. The Dandan noodle was fresh and good. The Dongpo pork and crab fried rice was actually my favorite but it was also just... average in my opinion. However the price for the entire meal was extremely fair. If you want good asian food around Brooklyn, Antidote is worth going to due to it's price and it definitely does reflect what Szechuan food is supposed to taste like. read more

2.5/5 Finally got the chance to try antidote and I wasn't particularly wowed by it tbh. Pros - very extensive menu with a ton of options! Really liked the shrimp dish because the shrimp was large, juicy, and had a ton of flavor. Also liked the baiju cocktail! It had a lot of different flavor profiles that blended together in a good way. Portion sizes were also large! Also the interior design was very cute and cozy. Cons - I think they went for presentation over flavor a lot of the time. For example, the blossom fish was DROWNED in sauce - yes it looked cool but it felt unnecessary and just made it overly saucy. The Dan Dan noodles had a great flavor but were kind of cold when they came out. There wasn't enough crab in the crab tofu and it was a little overly egg yolky for me. read more

4.5 stars! The restaurant has great vibes, very romantic with plants and beautiful lights. We were sat down next to a wall with a row of travels for 2. I think these tables are too close together for my preference but that's NYC for you. The staff also sat the next party of 2 right next to us when there were so many other tables on either of our sides. My sense of space might be different from most New Yorkers. I got the baijiu cocktail, and it was refreshing. The food was also amazing. I really enjoyed the crab tofu. The rib eye cubes were good too but I expected more spice for sichuan restaurant. The service was good. The staff was attentive, they kept asking us if we were done eating, even though there were a lot of other empty tables. The restaurant accepts reservation and would be a cute spot for dates or groups. read more

I'd go back!! First, service was really good. Everything came really quickly. We were late for our reservation and they still saved us a table, which I really appreciated! Also, the food was great! They had the best scallion pancakes I've ever had. They also had the best pork belly I've ever had. The tea smoked duck was fine, but it wasn't as good as the pork. I liked the ambiance in general, but the one thing that could be better would be having more bathrooms (there was a line). read more

On a Friday evening, I walked in and tried to put my name down for a table for two but all the tables were supposedly booked for the entirety of the night. Walk ins were only allowed at the bar area. When I returned an hour later, we had to put our names down for a 30-40 minute wait at the bar. By 7/8pm, the restaurant was incredibly busy and jammed packed. The ambience of the place is definitely phenomenal with the lighting and decor. There's also jazz music on Wednesday nights. Once we were seated, the servers were all pretty nice as well. In terms of the food, we got garlic peashoots, twice cooked pork, and crab tofu. It is worth noting that rice does not come with the dishes and are $2 each. My personal favorite was the twice cooked pork but everything was pretty good. I liked the flavors of everything but will admit the pork was a bit oily and the peashoots could've used slightly more flavor. While the prices were a bit on the high end, the portions were quite generous and everything we ordered was more than enough for two people. read more

Crab Meat Fried Rice This is the best fried rice with crab meat! I've had a few crab meat fried rice before, and this one is one of the top ones! You need to use the green sauce! It will be more flavorful and delicious! Number of bowls of dry rice: Roasted Pork with Pork Floss Although there is no fat in the pork, the meat is fatty, with the salty sauce, it is not greasy at all! It took less than 3 minutes to serve, delicious! Number of bowls: Padang Beef Ribs The meat is super tender! The chopsticks came off the bone right away! The flavor is not too heavy, it's a southern curry flavor. Bowls of dry rice: Seafood Hot Pot There are three jumbo shrimp with very juicy meat! It tasted very fresh ~ but his soup was a bit sour, a few sips and I couldn't stand it haha!

Probably one of the best szechuan restaurants I've had in New York since moving here! Made a reservation here after reading so many good reviews of it so I was really hoping this wasn't just a hype restaurant. To my enjoyment this restaurant had the best food and such good service. We were seated immediately upon checking in and ordered a ton of food to share. Started with the spicy dandan noodles - probably my favorite dish. this had so much flavor and spice - plus the beef made the noodles so juicy. this is a must order!! the egg yolk buns i must say you can do without - theyre a good dessert bun with the sweet flavor but if you are like me and have a savory tooth id say skip these. the chili chicken was made with szechuan peppercorns so needless to say the flavors here were great - i dont usually like the szechuan peppercorn flavor but they really cooked it right here. The duck fried rice we ate along side with all our protein and it could have been its own dish with all the flavor it provided. the service here is also absolutely amazing- our waiter got us shots on the house for liking our vibe which was SO nice! definitely recommending this spot to everyone and will be returning!! read more

This is probably one of my favorite spots in Williamsburg. It's a trusted go-to spot that always delivers on quality. It's also a beautiful, spacious restaurant with IG-worthy decor. I've tried many things on their menu - but I always end up ordering any (or all) of the following: sliced pork with garlic sauce, garlic sautéed pea shoots, wonton in chili sauce, sun mai with tea smoked duck, crab tofu, crab fried rice, sautéed string beans.

Wow what a spot. This place was like being in singapore. First of all this is a cool trendy place in hip Williamsburg. We actually went by the stop twice because it looked like a great bar but not C a place for down home food-from-my-mom. Instead this place is both. The food is wonderful and the drinks are great too. Some one who is an actually from singapore and she said it was great. Being Asian, I couldn't wait to try it! The singapore crab rice is great as was promised but the other dishes were excellent. The curry was wonderful and I just loved the drinks as well. The mapu tofu was nice and spicy. Also the fried rice cakes were wonderful. We really like even the simple dishes like the eggplant. It's hard to go wrong here. It is a great staff as well. Just remember it's hard to get a reservation but definitely worth it! read more

Antidote serves Sichuan Shanghai-Style Cuisine and is a place that I visited twice - once w/ Kemi last year for dinner and recently after enjoying a day of self-care & relaxation at Bathouse.

Antidote is spacious enough w/ indoor seating and outdoor patio seating. Minimalist decor includes some plants, artwork and neutral/earth-tone walls, table/seating arrangements, etc. Clean bathroom facilities, friendly staff that provide good customer service, and an excellent bartender make Antidote a cool place to dine.
