Went here for dinner with a group of friends on a rainy night. We made a reservation in advance and were seated right away. Service was fast and friendly, and the servers did a nice job introducing the dishes. We ordered the xiao long bao along with several other dishes. Judging from the interior, I honestly wasn't expecting too much at first because the restaurant felt a little Americanized rather than traditionally Chinese. But once the food came out, I was very pleasantly surprised! Everything tasted fresh and delicious, and even the kids loved it. The portions aren't huge, but the quality is very good. Definitely better than I expected. We'll absolutely come back and try more dishes next time!

The Artisan Dim Sum Platter
erica m.

Came here before going to a show- reservation was for 5pm on a Tuesday- is was initially empty and by 6:30 it was packed. It's one of those places where you order from a tablet and if you need to order a cocktail or a server, you have to press a call waitstaff button. This is not my cup of tea but.... We ordered a bunch of items- should have taken pictures of the screens but forgot to do so. We ordered the Artisan Dim Sum Platter, the Signature Bao Platter, and possibly the shrimp dumplings (can't remember). These all were fine, but I felt like they needed salt and the sauces weren't doing it for me. We also ordered a shrimp dish- I think maybe the one with garlic sauce and also traditional savory sauce noodles. The shrimp were huge and tender, I almost thought they were undercooked, that's how soft they were. The noodles were put together by the server at the table which was interesting, but I felt these dishes also needed salt/ slightly bland. I'd actually come back but ask for salt or a salty sauce/ I'd like to try the American fusion menu. I know, don't judge me! Minus a star for lack of salt and the terrible music/volume of it too.

Hot Stone Braised Rice
Yi X.

This hot stone braised rice was incredible. The rice and mushroom sauce came packed separately, so I mixed everything together at home before eating. The aroma hit immediately. The rice was perfectly cooked--each grain was plump, slightly chewy, and honestly some of the best rice I've had in a long time. Every grain was coated in the rich porcini sauce, making it impossible to stop eating. And I'm usually not even a big rice person. There was just a tiny hint of spice (or maybe pepper), but it was perfectly balanced and added a little extra depth without overpowering the dish. The porcini mushrooms were soft, silky, and full of flavor. Even the green peppers and scallions were delicious and added great texture. Absolutely worth trying. I'd recommend this dish to every friend without hesitation.

Ma po tofu
Amy W.

The service and atmosphere are fabulous. They are very accommodating with food choices. Made my ma po tofu vegetarian (which it is not usually). The tofu dish was smokey and spicy. I wasn't expecting the smokey flavor. Definitely mix with rice, which is a small charge extra. Huge portions!

Nice place.

Second time here after almost a year. Group of 7 ladies ordered fried mushrooms, pan fired bao, pickled cucumbers as the appetizers and cumin lamb, clay roasted chicken, stir fried beef with cilantro, spicy tofu in a pumpkin, and mushroom with rice in the clay pot. Everything was delicious especially lamb, beef and chicken, and rice. The spicy tofu was a new dish for me and overly seasoned in my opinion. And I don't like the taste of pumpkin anyway. Services were very attentive. The serve of roasted chicken was quite a show. Enjoyed our lunch tremendously here.

Black Pepper Beef Short Ribs
Elizabeth X.

The Chinese food was so delicious. Almost everything we ordered was a hit: the stir fried cabbage, pork belly, beef chow fun, string beans, pork buns, and the hot stone braised rice. The hot stone braised rice was my favorite; the braised sauce went so well with the rice. The beef chow fun was also cooked very well. The pork buns had a delicious soup inside. I thought the black pepper beef was fine; the sauce was good but the meat was okay. The chicken soup dumplings were also kind of weird--we only got them because they were out of everything but that and Wagyu beef. We walked in Saturday evening ~9 PM and were seated immediately for a group of five. The location is very convenient too. You order through an iPad that has a well-designed menu.

Food here is solid, especially considering the general quality of Chinese food in Manhattan. We started with the wagyu beef soup dumplings, which were tasty. The pork and shrimp pan-fried dumplings were also a good choice. For the main, we had the half Peking duck. The portion is on the smaller side compared to other spots, but the presentation was thoughtful. The pancakes came individually separated by baking paper and had a great "Q" texture, a bit of the nice chewiness. The sauce is good, and they serve it with sliced cantaloupe alongside the usual cucumber and scallions, which actually makes for a really great wrap. The Shanghai fried noodles with chicken were a highlight. They had authentic wok chi (鑊氣), which is hard to find and made the dish feel very genuine. Dessert was a bit of a letdown. We ordered the mango pomelo sago, but the mango tasted canned rather than fresh. It came with very small amount of the sago; they definitely need to add more. On the drinks side, the happy hour is a great deal with plenty of $10 options. I got a glass of prosecco. I also tried their signature Blue Blossom cocktail. It is cool concept, but the flavors didn't really mesh well and it wasn't that impressive. The bartender is really cool and friendly, which added to the vibe. Good spot for a casual meal or happy hour if you are around.

The atmosphere and scene walking in was a welcoming one. Our server Hazen was friendly and made sure we were well informed and taken care of. On the table is a Passionfruit Oolong, regular lemonade drink, 2 bowls of rice, wagyu beef soup dumplings, Mongolian beef, and Sesame beef. Overall very delicious and I loved the Sesame beef the best, would rate it a 10/10 and definitely recommend a visit for a date or just a friendly friend's night out. Our bill for everything came out tot around $120 with tip and taxes included.

Great draft beer
David B.

Beautiful Chinese restaurant known for its Peking Duck. First impression upon walking in is that this place is very classy. Also noticed that nearly every table had been served the Peking Duck. So of course we took the hint and ordered a Half Size portion of Peking Duck to share with my wife. Only mistake was not going with the full order. The duck was very nicely prepared and presented, nothing like how they do it in China. So for me, I loved it. Just take the tortilla wrap, add a few slices of meat, a veggie and the sauce and eat. Fabulous. We also shared an order of pork soup dumplings which were also top shelf (note we eat pork soup dumplings monthly, so these were good). Draft beer was also nice, the brand was new to me. Service was nice and I'd also mention that it was nice a quiet in the dining room, which is a pleasant surprise. Definitely recommend. This was my first time here, my wife's second and we will return.

stir-fried string beans
Joanna C.

Absolutely loved my experience at Blue Blossom. The menu was a blend of chinese fusion with a creative touch, and every dish we tried was delicious. The crab + pork xiao long bao and the cumin lamb were 10/10, highly recommend. We also ordered the stir-fried string beans, dan dan noodles, roasted Peking duck, and the pork belly appetizer. Pork belly was good but not quite as memorable as the other dishes. The service was warm, attentive, and thoughtful throughout. Perfect for dinner w friends or a date. Also, my phone was dying and they were kind enough to let me charge it. I really appreciated that :3

Ambiance, nice. Service, nice but kind of slow to get the food. Bathrooms, nice. Flavor of food, alright. Temperature of food, lukewarm to cold. All of it! We did have one dish that was hot. It was manageable but I couldn't believe the peking duck wasn't even warm. That one was just cold. It also seemed old, like they cooked it a while ago because it was dry. We told the waiter it wasn't hot and he took the duck away and came back in less than 5 minutes with a warmer duck. It still wasn't hot. Ah well. The hoisin sauce was very salty. The soup dumplings, tasty, were also not hot. I've never had a soup dumpling where the basket wasn't steaming hot when it came out. I still can't get over how a Chinese restaurant didn't serve us hot food. It wasn't very crowded when we were there so not sure what was the issue. Maybe we were forgotten. Maybe their heater lamps broke. Anyhoo, come here if you're not nit-picky about food and want pretty good tasting Chinese food with a nice ambiance. It would make a nice date spot.

First time dining at a modern Chinese restaurant and it was a very nice experience. Blue Blossom has a contemporary, elegant, and upscale decor. Their blue-white porcelain table settings and dishware complement the beauty that captivates every patron upon entering the establishment. The hospitality was stellar. It started with our menu being presented on an electronic tablet. Items were accompanied with crystal clear photos, it was easy to navigate, and all of our questions were answered in appreciated detail. The presentation of the food was award winning and every item was delicious, large enough to satisfy, and even the dipping sauces were presented in an ornate fashion. We ordered the following: Steamed Vegetable Dumplings. They were artistically created/presented and the dipping sauces (soy, sweet, spicy) elevated the taste exquisitely. The other selection was the Wagyu Beef Xiao Long Bao. These Shanghai-style soup dumplings were wrapped in colorful/delicate wrappers and were scrumptious. The beef was tender, the juices inside fully enveloped every inch of each dumpling and both items are highly recommended. To cap this meal, we shared the Mango Pomelo Sago. This is a popular, refreshing Hong Kong-style dessert soup made with mango, pomelo, and sago pearls, blended with a creamy base of coconut and evaporated milk. Each spoonful was mouth-watering and the different textures made this an extraordinary delicacy.

Beef Tongue

Second time back to this restaurant. Food quality is good as always. Ordered my favorite okra beef tongue for the second time. Good as always!!!! Andy is our server tonight and he took a good care of us. Definitely will come back.

This is a whole vibe. Dark and moody. Everyone is dressed…read morefor the occasion. It feels like a night club. I suggest reservations. There is always a wait. We got a little of everything, including cocktails. The peashooter greens were super flavorful. Everything was executed well. The sweet and sour pork was the best I've ever had. The server was attentive, but also really busy. It took quite awhile to get drinks. That's my only complaint. This place has some hype, but it's pretty damn good. I can see why.

Buddakan New York is a famous Pan-Asian restaurant located in the Chelsea/Meatpacking District of…read moreManhattan right next to the Chelsea Market. This was the scene of last night's dinner. The food was great! This is a "see and be seen" type of place. The nightclub-like, velvet rope-type atmosphere and service, however, are a turn-off for us. It is a very loud place, but we were lucky enough to get the most quiet seating, which is not an intimate quiet, but we could talk. (We know we had the quietest spot as Lori walked around the whole place.) The service was ok. It took some time to get water and cocktails, but they eventually arrived, and then food came out quickly. Lori's favorites were the two appetizers. I enjoyed everything equally. Here's what we had - Oxtail Dumplings - sweet soy, green apple, jalapeño. These were rich, melt-in-your-mouth savory oxtail with sweet-savory soy, crisp green apple freshness, and a mild jalapeño kick. General Tso's Dumplings - chicken, hot & sour broth. These were good, but I would have liked more spice. Lori said they were spicy enough. Lobster Mapo Tofu - minced beef, lobster, Sichuan chili sauce. They did a good job on this one. I was pleasantly surprised to find a hint of actual Sichuan peppercorns, but then again, this is NYC. Duck Fried Rice - crispy rice & scallion. The rice had some really good crispy bits, and chewy pieces for great texture. The duck was surprisingly shredded, and delicious. I wish there was a little more of it.
