I liked the Peking duck and the malfadine. The crystal shrimp dumplings were fine. Not a huge fan of the fried rice (it was mushy and not fried well), the green beans (meh), or the fried toast dessert (this was REALLY bad - like diabetes on a plate - my friend and I couldn't have more than a bite - and it's topped with a chunk of butter). Overall, not bad if you just order the right dishes! Appreciated the creativity of the menu. read more

I'm sometimes skeptical about fancy cantonese american fusion spots, but also found it fun to see familiar dishes reimagined in different forms. I just tried their new weekend brunch menu, featuring a fancy, elevated take on "cha chaan teng" (HK cafe) dishes with an american twist. The retro furnishings, red tables, and mirrors seriously give Wong Kar-wai vibes, especially reminiscent of In the Mood for Love (花樣年華). ＊Savory Oatmeal Congee $13 ** The sleeper hit of their brunch menu! It's an elevated congee topped with a runny poached egg, crispy spinach, and fried shallots and garlic. The chili oil had a real kick as I could feel the heat in my throat! I found the char siu was too lean and dry, but I guess that made it feel a little healthier lol. ＊BEC Milk Bread Sando $17 * It reminded me of a hk style club sandwich (公司三文治). The american cheese was on the outside instead of the middle, so the sando looked burnt at first glance. It was SO good, kind of like a grilled cheese, and the egg salad balanced out the applewood bacon perfectly. *Siu Mai $18 * Possibly the most expensive siu mai I've ever had in my life? I still wanted to try it out of curiosity. It was really really good with the tobiko caviar on top. The chili oil was aromatic and left a nice spicy aftertaste. ＊Hong Kong Style French Toast $17 It's a reimagined 西多士 with banana foster pudding, but this one was a miss for me. It was way too sweet, and the nutella totally overpowered the french toast. I'd much rather have a simple, classic version with just syrup or condensed milk. ＊HK Espresso Martini $22 My friend said the cocktail tasted pretty much like a regular espresso martini, even though it's made with condensed milk and black tea to mimic HK milk tea. ＊Cold Brew Milk Tea $8 I got the cold brew milk tea, but it was too watered down and barely had any tea flavor. read more

The duck is some of the best in the city. Crispy skin, flavorful meat, expertly salted. Their five spiced old fashioned is impressively smooth. Other items are just ok and sometimes leaves me wanting more. The wheat based items like dumplings, noodles, and wontons were overcooked and without enough bite. Flavor wise, can't complain. Elegant interior. Interesting mix between upscale European and 80s Hong Kong. Service is slow but rushed to take your food away, which was off putting. read more

I want to love the restaurant sooooo much but there are still a few flaws that need to be sorted out. First, service is slow. Very slow. I think it was half an hour before our food came. The first thing the kitchen prepared and completed was the toast. I should have known when the waiter asked if we wanted the dessert to come last but at that point I was just too hungry. So, do know service takes a while and toast is the fastest thing to be made. Toast, I wish there was more molten ability. It kinda was just a toast. I did enjoy the lemon curd and uber. So although expected a volcano of molten goodness, this was ok. The mushroom Lo mein was oddly the best dish. It was super flavorful. Would have never expected it. Bacon silver needle noodle I would have expected would be great. But oddly lacked salt. And maybe a tiny bit burned. I really wanted to like the black bean clam noodle. But the actuality was mid. It wasted like the cook boiled linguine, clams, sausage, dumped it into a bowl and then added a scoop of black bean paste from a jar. You then mix it and that's the dish. The clams had no flavor. The noodles did t have clam flavor. (Oddly I liked the black bean sauce with the pasta. It wasn't a lot so there were subtle tastes and I thought it better than your average butter sauce). Either case, I think some flavor on the clams would be much appreciated or have everything more unified? A for concept though. Wonton noodle wasn't up to my HK standards but it's ok. It's Japanese ramen noodles, with pork wontons, in chicken broth. read more

Heard this spot from the IG page BrianCantStopEating and it did not disappoint! Wow what a meal!! Everything was fantastic. Service was great, we loved our service and the hostess even recommended some of their sister restaurants to check out. It's dark, red, and sexy inside. Great spot for date night. Went with a few friends and we shared a bunch of things. Sliders, fried rice, scallion pancakes. Everything was so good! I want some more of those scallion pancakes! Of course we had to save room for dessert, which was so yummy! Check this spot out! read more

Cha Cha Tang is where you go to be seen and feel upscale. This isn't your everyday restaurant unless you live in a particular tax bracket. I dibble dabble in those experiences and I suggest you do too. Cha Cha Tang is not a Chinese Restaurant but an experience in delicious flavors that happen to originate in the Chinese culture. I say this because when I think of Chinese food, I think of the yellow and red sign in the hood where I get my greasy pleasure. This is not that, hence the pricing. This is a culinary experience. I have been here before and have forgotten each and every time to take bang up pictures. For starters, I had soup dumplings but they are not named that. You receive four perfectly juicy soup dumplings that somehow are the perfect temperature. The soup is so tasty, I want a bowl of it and I am not a soup drinker. The bite is an experience your grandmother would approve. For an entree, I had the lo neon and I had the snapper. The presentation of the snapper is that of a Michelin Star restaurant. It's not the whole fish but the sauce is so tasty, you should get the side of rice to sop it up with, which I did. The Lo Mein was surprisingly delicious and different. It is not your usual lo mein but something else more ethereal and sensorial. It is delicious, that when my son ate my leftovers, I felt sufficiently robbed. The drinks are special and stylized. Be careful. They taste like punch but have quite a lot of alcohol in it. If you are used to that hood Chinese spot, skip this place. If you are into fine dining or a foodie, Cha Cha Tang is a must do! read more

Came here for dinner with my nieces and the place did not disappoint. Great ambiance and even better service. Order the hargow, Peking duck, branzino, lettuce wraps, fried rice, noodles and more. Everything was delicious and came out very quickly. Managers warmly greeted us at the table and even comped the delicious French toast dessert which was SO good!! A fun spot to come with friends or a date night. read more

Might be some of the worst Chinese/hong kong style food I've had in the city. The mushroom lo mein was not a lo mein and lacked flavor. The fried rice and the steak and brocolli were made overly complicated with clashing flavors, and the soup dumplings were super overcooked. What I did enjoy is the duck bao and the string beans. But overall it's suuuuuper overpriced for very underwhelming food and mid vibes. read more

Cha Cha Tang gives speakeasy, HK gangster movie vibes. It's a solid spot to enjoy a couple of drinks and shareables with friends or a date. The service was super attentive and friendly without being over the top. I honestly came in here on a whim since my bf and I were just walking by. We weren't that hungry so we just shared some mocktails (not pictured), Duck Bao, Scallion Pancake, and Yin Yang French Toast. It's good, not the most amazing Asian food ever, but I liked the vibes! Five Spice Scallion Pancake- Very crispy!! Not too oily. The texture was different from a regular scallion pancake though. Still good. Duck Bao- The duck was juicy and flavorful and the bao was soft like a pillow. I was surprised it didn't have any duck skin. I feel like the most important part of a Beijing duck is the crispy skin! Yin Yang French Toast- Traditional HK french toast usually has peanut butter and condensed milk with a fried brioche bread. This version had ube and lemon curd cream. I actually quite enjoyed this--this brioche was fried well, and the sauces didn't make it soggy. The sweetness of the ube balanced the tangyness of the lemon. read more

Look, I grew up with cha chaan teng. It's engraved in my DNA. If you cut me, I'll bleed HK milk tea. When I heard about Cha Cha Tang opening in West Village--complete with West Village prices--a part of me died at the thought of white people eating overpriced, watered down versions of my people's food. Lawd help me. Then one night, we found ourselves starving and in the area--and CCT was the only available option for food. We also met Wilson Tang and his partner while we waited for our table to be ready, and he gave us a lowdown of his journey to opening CCT and why the menu was the way it was. He even proactively mentioned the common complaint about high prices and explained why they were that way (spoiler: West Village rent). I walked into the meal with mixed feelings. Speaking to a restaurant owner before trying the restaurant's food for the first time is like watching a behind-the-scenes doc of a movie you haven't seen it. I didn't know what to expect. Dammit, but I liked the food. I really, really liked it. I think I liked it more than I should've because Wilson had explained how he Westernized some of the dishes and stressed that nothing was supposed to be "authentic" so much as a creative, fusion interpretation. Buzz words, I know, but in this case, they were correct. For example: - Crystal Shrimp Dumpling: The dumplings were the real deal (re: authentic Canto), but the chili oil sauce they came with was new and unique--not to mention delicious. A nice way to incorporate a different region of China (Szechuan) into this style. - Macaroni Soup: The authentic version of this has regular macaroni noodz you'd find inside a Kraft box, but CCT's version has larger-than-life noodz that are more fun to eat. The only potential drawback is the peas tend to get stuck in them. But dear Vishnu, that chicken bone broth! A lot of authentic cha chaang teng spots don't have great macaroni soup stock. It often tastes like salted water. Not so here. You could taste the umami resulting from multi-hour stewing. Mmmm! - Pea Shoots: CCT adds another twist to this classic side by adding lots of sweet red peppers, which change the flavor profile to be more complex than just garlicky greens. - HK French Toast: CCT's twist on this modern classic is to infuse the giant bread with taro cream instead of the standard vanilla custard. And why not? Ube is all the rage--it's gorgeous and tasty and only complements this amazing dessert. Also, the portions are huge. I've saved the best dish for last--and the reason why I am all compliments about this place. CCT is only the second restaurant in NYC (the first being Macao Trading Co) to offer African Chicken. What's African Chicken? Well, it's a dish from Macao (Hong Kong's next door neighbor) that is near impossible to find here. When Macao was a Portuguese colony, the Portuguese introduced a popular southern Africa dish called galinha com piri-piri to the Macanese, who then interpreted it with the ingredients they had on hand--it might be the only curry dish in the world to use soy sauce. And it's effing delicious. I still think Macao Trading Co's version is better, but CCT is a worthy rival. And more importantly, I'm not going to complain when you can't even find this dish at authentic cha chaang tengs in the city. So there you have it. My (begrudgingly) positive review of a place I thought I'd hate. Where's my gold star? read more

I thought CCT was a great bang for my buck. I met a friend for two drinks during their happy hour which were $10 each - a STEAL in my opinion. I had 2 delicious lychee martinis. Then we sat down for dinner. We ordered the chicken soup dumplings which were okay, but the bacon and egg pearl noodles were incredible. Service was quick for us and super kind. We also had a glass of wine with dinner which was a generous pour. As difficult as it is to get reservations in the West Village, I'm thrilled to have this option available. read more

Came with friends to check out this place. We didn't have a ton of time as we had to head to airport but as we got there at 5pm, service was quick and dishes came out quickly. Drinks (yuzu dreams and lychee martini) were delicious! For food we got the bacon and egg pearl noodles, and the HK french toast. We really loved both. The pearl noodles are such a fun shape and have a rly great texture to them. The flavors of the meat, egg, and veg were delicious. The HK french toast was crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, loved the taro cream, not too sweet. The ambience and decor was really gorgeous. As someone who loves the hole-in-wall places of Chinatown, it is true that the prices here are a bit tough in compariaon but if you're looking for elevated food and a great dining experience, the price is well worth it! read more

To close out a recent 5000 calorie day, I made a reservation at Cha Cha Tang. I'm glad I did. I liked everything about the restaurant, my only complaint being the inevitable, yes, I spent about $150. The salt and pepper shrimp--head-on--were delicious! The duck sliders, though not satisfying at the $18 price point, were also delicious! The steak with Szechuan peppercorn sauce--you guessed it! read more

There were plenty of reservations available and I was easily able to make one for weekend brunch. There is plenty of natural lighting and the interior is bright and clean. The portion sizes were smaller than expected, and we had to add on extra items midway through our meal. We got the bao slider, french toast, the bacon and egg pearl noodles, and the congee. I was dissapointed since I saw on social media that the fench toast had an ube filling, but the one on their current menu does not. The french toast was sweet and good, but I still would've preferred if it had the ube. My favorite item was the bacon and egg pearl noodles, which were chewy and had a good flavor. The service was only okay. We had to ask for utensils, there were chopsticks on the table, but I needed a fork and knife for the french toast. In addition, my water was completely empty for awhile before it was refilled. read more

This was my first visit to a neighborhood new upscale modern Chinese restaurant. We were greeted warmly from the door as we came early, 6pm on a quiet Tuesday night. The manager was doting on us as was the staff. We ordered scallion pancakes ( so fluffy), pork bao buns ( not warm enough and on the dry side) shrimp dumplings ( tasty but wrap was coming off) and bokchoy ( baby leaves were divine!!! But a bit greasy). Would come back for the pancakes & to try the brunch Peking duck! read more

We were holding a reservation for more than a week and ChaChaTang cancelled that morning because they had "a last minute private event booking!" There are too many great restaurants in NYC, to deal with amateur hour at this one and get jerked around. We contacted them afterwards and they were extremely arrogant, on top of all of this! This was by far my worst service experience with any restaurant. This is what they said (Print screen is also attached since it is hard to believe any restaurant would do this) To be clear, they cancelled the reservation when they sent this email: Good Morning, I'm reaching out to let you know we have a last-minute private event on Thursday, the 24th. As a gesture of appreciation and to make up for any inconvenience, I'd like to personally invite you to enjoy a complimentary first course during dinner service at ChaChaTang, available Tuesday through Sunday. Please feel free to contact me directly to arrange your next reservation--I'd be happy to take care of it. On behalf of our entire team, I sincerely apologize for the disappointment and truly appreciate your understanding. Best regards, Devone Wise read more

Cha Cha Tang started as a pop up from Wilson Tang of Nom Wah fame. The pop up was so successful that Hancock Street decided to convert into Cha Cha Tang on a permanent basis. As you would expect from Wilson Tang, there are terrific and creative dumplings and other dim sum items available. The rest of the food is equally good and creative. The service is terrific as is the atmosphere. The food is a mix of Hong Kong, Chinatown and modern Chinese cuisine. Congrats Wilson, Cha Cha Tang is definitely a winner.

Always looking for new NY food adventures and this was extraordinary! From the moment you enter the vibe is relaxed, cool, friendly, romantic. Softly lit with cozy booths, mirrors and red accents--it has a speakeasy feel. Every dish we tried was flavorful, and a new take on an old favorite. Dumplings were delish, the turnip pancake was light yet with wonderful exterior crunch. They were out of the signature Peking duck (bummer) but the duck sliders were extraordinary, moist with pillowy yet crunchy buns filled with flavor. One thing the CCT gets right is the combo of texture, heat and subtle favor. The vegetable fried rice is not your grandma's, it has crunch from jicama, daikon, crispy puff rice, shallots and garlic. And the bacon and egg pearl noodles were a revelation--chunks of bacon and creamy egg yolk slathering silky rice noodles. French toast dessert with taro cream was unique. The service had personality; staff were busy with a full room and founders Wilson Tang and John McDonald mingled among guests on a packed Monday night. Uber struggles to find the place (put in 257 Ave. of the Americas or Hancock St.) The understated signage doesn't help you find it but it's a sure sign Cha Cha Tang is a best kept secret soon to blow up. Can't wait to go back! read more

Cha Cha Tang is a Hong Kong style restaurant that is likened to an American diner. While the food is very good do not expect diner prices. The restaurant itself is bathed in red and has a speakeasy type feel. The service is very good and what you'd expect from a good NY restaurant. Food wise we had; Pork Potstickers - very good fried dumpling. Scallion Pancakes - this were excellent, perfectly crispy but not oily. Cantonese Roast Dusk Slider - favorite dish of the meal, only complaint is we wish the portion was a bit larger. It's definetly worth it to order two of these. Bacon & Egg Pear Noodles - our favorite entree course, very good. Kurobuta Pork Chop - lightly fried and topped with cheese sauce. This was very good as well, only thing was the breading was a bit soggy and not crisp. This wasn't a huge deal as it still was tasty. read more

Food, service and ambiance were all great! We loved the wine that was recommended as well as the food. Nice sized portions.

No single dish stood out. There are cheaper and tastier versions of each dish at other restaurants. Felt gimmicky to be honest. Not sure if people familiar with HK/cantonese cuisine can take it seriously. Music was terribly loud and lighting was too dark.This place was just vibes. Will not return. However, will note that food came quickly and service was good. Also, really offended that the menu lists Singapore as being in China - big red flag about the lack of care and attention to detail. You expect better at this price point and Asian owners. read more

Cha Cha Tang is an amazing, upscale Chinese restaurant in the West Village. The ambiance is sleek, modern, and great for either date night or a bigger group outing. The food has a twist on traditional Chinese dishes, and I was very impressed by the execution, flavors, and plating! I highly recommend the pork potstickers, scallion pancakes, and crispy turnip cakes (a dimsum favorite,) to start. The bacon and egg pearl noodles were also a fun and delicious take on rice noodles. The star of the show was the Cantonese roast duck- the duck skin was super crispy and the meat was juicy. The HK french toast for dessert was decadent and a great way to wrap up the meal. For cocktails, I loved the lychee martini and Cha Cha 75. The prices are definitely on the higher end for Chinese food, but given the location and quality, it is to be expected. Would love to come back and try their brunch! read more
