That's usually a very good sign that the food is up to par, as well as prices being reasonable. I had only a small meal here, but certainly enjoyed what I had. The fish was steamed perfectly, while the cauliflower and lotus stayed perfectly crunchy. The razor clams and snow pea leaves were also delicious. I am certainly not in this neighborhood often, but I would be happy to come back here again to try more of their food if given the opportunity.

Before I went it was not like this this is the first time I see is like this One of the most important thing I want to say they made it not even in 2 minutes it around 1 min How would they cook a food in one min how so does that mean they just hit the food and give it to me. I see that other customers have hot food and they waited for 3 to 5 min and why my is like that. If you go there you would not like the food that they made and the taste was bad and after I finish eating it i am not even half full.

Tucked away on a side street of Brooklyn's Chinatown, Soup on Soup is a no-frills, cozy Chinese…read morecasual spot. You order and pay at the counter, and they bring the food over to your table. Extensive menu with a lot of combo options and standalone dishes. What we got: - Premium Beef Over Sticky Rice: Flavorful, but oily - Stewed Tofu With Flounder: Probably my favorite of the dishes we got. The flounder melted in my mouth! - Black Pepper Premium Beef Udon: Noodles were overcooked and got too soft - Seafood Stir-Fried Rice Cake: Good, it was fine. All main dishes come with Iced Lemon Tea, which is a nice addition. Everything was super flavorful, but to the point where it was quite oily and salty. I felt like I needed something to cut through the oil! Honestly, I'm a bit unsure about the cleanliness of the place. No restrooms, but I think if it's urgent, you may be able to use the staff's, but you'd have to pass through their kitchen. Overall, I prob wouldn't return, since there are a lot of other great spots in the area.

I was very impressed w service at this location today. Someone from restaurant read my online wait list request and called me promptly. To inform me that there's no problem w availability tonight and took my info for a 7pm "reservation." I was pleased w the speed of their response. Then at 7 pm upon arrival to be greeted by a very pleasant and friendly staff. Teddy (the one who rang me earlier) seated us at a big table at street level. Thank goodness for the no need to navigate stairs. Teddy served us nice hot green tea instead of cold water.. another of his service. He was indeed very attentive throughout our meal. (He noticed that one of our soup base was not quite up to par and instructed another staff to replace it ） I really enjoyed this hotpot dinner tonight at liaojie on 86 St. Will return for the fresh ingredients and the amazing service. Hopefully we can get Teddy as our server again!

We got seated at a large table upstairs. Everyone here gets individual pots, however if you're a party 6+, the extra folks are likely sharing a pot with someone. We order our hotpot items off iPads + beverages are an additional charge. Servers are prompt and clear finished plates efficiently. Their dessert was a yummy mango jelly pudding. If it's someone's birthday, that person eats free, as long as there's a party of 4+. If there are 2 bday people, the party must be 8+. Standard + reliable hotpot spot in the neighborhood that's always packed for a reason. Great AYCE price with plenty of standard hotpot options. Lots of neighborhood regulars!

By the time we got to the restaurant, we just had to wait a couple of minutes, and we were seated. I really recommend joining the waitlist as this place gets really packed! As we were seated, the staff told us to order on the iPad and that drinks were all included, but you have to go get it yourselves, which is in the back of the restaurant in the fridge next to the sauce bar. The food came out pretty fast. We ran out of places to put the food! SO MUCH SEAFOOD! It's nonstop food! The staff was very attentive; once there was an empty plate, they took it away. And once the plate is full of leftover shell and such, they ask to replace the plate. 2 deals were going on when we were there. 1. If you pay by cash, you get - one LAANKEE (there is a LAANKEE attached to the restaurant at the front of the store) per person - one of the paid desserts from their menu 2. If you post on social media, they don't want a little red note, but any other social media is good; you get a lobster

I was only familiar with the Edison location and didn't realize there was a much closer one that didn't require a ridiculously long road trip. True to its nautical name, Chong Qing offers some killer seafood-centered fare. You can pretty pick from all the fruits de mer for your hot pot, but I want to take a moment to praise the apps: We got some delicious raw clams, crabs and shrimp marinated in a delectable sweet and savory soy/garlic-based sauce. It was so good, I nearly lapped up my plate like a hungry dog. And you better believe I smashed that re-order button, considering it was AYCE! Their sashimi--a la Arctic Surf Clams and other chewy pieces of the crustacean variety--were also fresh and succulent. We even got complimentary Australian lobster tail (to boil in our hot pot), which was definitely a win. All in all, the pescatarian in me was doing happy mermaid dances by the end of our meal. And the cherry on top? Or should I say durio? AYCE durian. Yes, yes, I know this fruit is controversial--and in the case of my dinner, I was the only one to enjoy it while everyone else stared at me like I'd grown six extra eyes. But screw it, I was more than happy to finish my hot pot with its pungent creaminess. Even if a few pieces weren't fully de-frosted. The only thing I'd avoid is their specialty tea offerings. I got a peach/jasmine lemon tea thing, and it was flavorless. Not worth the $7.

The place was very nice, a bit cramped but I went in alone so I didn't really care. Service was great, lady was super kind. The portion for $15 was meh but the food was not bad. They offer a bowl of rice and water refills, bc honestly my spice tolerance is medium lol. There was little cut up sausages I think in there and it was good. Only thing is that it's not like Korean type tteokboeki, it was more like a tomato paste. It tasted great, don't get me wrong, but it wasn't hitting that Korean craving. But the flavors r great if you aren't looking for the Korean style! Would recommend :9

The tomato broth was especially comforting, and each dish was well-seasoned and satisfying. It's rare to find Korean-style cuisine like this in the neighborhood, so Nam Po is a welcome addition. The interior is modern and clean, and the service was quick and efficient. The staff spoke Mandarin directly and also understood English well, making the experience smooth and comfortable. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and craving flavorful Korean comfort food.
