    Went during lunchtime, so only the 1st floor was open. We sat and ate at the restaurant in the back. Jade the popcorn chicken and the beef noodle. Both were delicious. The cocktail I had (can't remember what it's called, but it had papaya foam) was pretty good. The seats that the restaurant has were strange; rounded benches that were stationary and a little far from the table. Really like that the place is Taiwanese and would like to try the place when all 4 floors are running.

    Hue House describes itself as a "four-story cultural and creative hub dedicated to celebrating the richness and diversity of Asian heritage through food, design, wellness, and cultural event programming from day to night." That's a lot of words to basically describe a building with 2-3 restaurant/bar concepts inside. The event space isn't quite ready yet, so I'll be more forgiving there, but I've visited twice now and am a bit confused they tout themselves as showcasing the diversity of Asian heritage when the cocktail vending machine out front, the Traveler menu, and 929's menu all feature just Taiwanese flavors. Yes, 929 is a cocktail bar inspired by Mandarin and Cantonese pop music. I checked them out when they were in LIC and am thrilled they've reopened in the city because their drinks are really phenomenal. The food menu has some really interesting items, like a hojicha butter bolo bao pastry and shrimp stuffed fried crullers with rainbow sprinkles on the outside. But several other menu items, like their popcorn chicken, are just Taiwanese. The menu at Traveler is even more Taiwan forward, with an oyster omelet, more popcorn chicken, and an insanely greasy fried rice on their menu. Drinks were pretty solid here too but I like 929 much better as a concept. In the front there are tea cocktail vending machines that dispense a tiny little shot of tea liquor for $8 a pop which I find ludicrous. I'm going to stay open minded regarding their event space and am curious to see what kind of programming they have.

    As someone with (partial) Taiwanese heritage who spent all of my childhood winters in Tainan, I was excited to hear about this ambitious "4-story project" aimed at serving up food, drinks and events based around the island. At least as of now, the actual execution is quite a disappointment. The door staff are quite frazzled and couldn't give much clarity about what the table availability or offering was inside. It was unclear whether or not anything was open above the first floor, and we ended up taking a poorly-designed standing only table on the first floor without so much as a coat hook. Given the very awkward setup, we just ordered drinks and snacks rather than a full meal. The regionally-themed drinks were fun: I opted for the Keelung-themed cocktail, which had a nice herbal note to it. For snacks, we tried the Tainan arancini, which was basically like a fried mini zhongzi, and the o-ah-jian (oyster omelette - a slight cheat for a vegetarian), which was good.

    Beef noodle soup

    Still looking for a great Taiwanese place in Manhattan, after Hue, I'm still searching... The decor was underwhelming given the hype around an authentic Taiwanese spot. I won't knock them for it though since decor and ambience do not make a restaurant. The food would but it didn't make the restaurant. The beef noodle soup has a strong tomato base flavor which is a bit different from traditional style. The noodles and meat were well cooked and flavorful. The popcorn chicken was mid at best. It was over fried and for the price with not a lot of food.

    This space is a four-story cultural and creative hub aimed to be a home for Asian diaspora. Currently, it houses Gulp on the first floor (a Taiwanese restaurant) and 929 (a Canto/Mando-pop bar) on the second. In the coming months, they aim to open two more floors--one of which includes a spa. We visited 929 as it was late in the evening and got to try a variety of their drinks. My two favorites were definitely their Heirloom + Folklore and their Shanghai Summer Fling. However, everything was great. Loved the vibes in here and there were lots of different tables/booths to hang with friends.

    Steamed egg pork over rice (top), oyster pancake
    Alvina L.

    We had 5:30 reservations at Traveler, although walk-ins would have no problem getting seated. I've been excited to try another Taiwanese restaurant in the city, especially since they have my fave dish, oyster pancakes. We ordered that and the Tainan arancini for apps, and the beef noodle soup and steamed egg pork over rice. Everything was delicious! The arancini was crispy on the outside and sticky on the inside. It came with three, and I let my husband eat two, since I knew he wouldn't have much of the oyster pancake. The pancake definitely scratches the itch--not as "glutinous" as it is in Taiwan, and I wished there had been more oysters, but the taste was spot on and I liked the addition of dried kale (I think?) on top. The beef noodle soup was great. Noodles perfectly al dente and chewy, the beef was so tender. And the steamed egg pork was special--kind of similar to Lu Rou Fan (my husband's fave) but in an egg custard form. Really good! I had the Tainan cocktail, and the taro foam on top was so thick, I wasn't sure at first how to drink it, but it was so tasty! FYI, the seating is very much bar seating. The table was bench seating, and there are high tops with benches along the back. The service was quick and friendly. Will definitely go back and try the other places there!

    braised pork over rice

    We ate at Travelers on the first floor of Hue House. The dishes and cocktails are flavorful but the portion sizes were a bit on the smaller size. They were an adaptation of popular Taiwanese dishes. I found the pork over rice and sausage brother dishes a bit oily (but yummy). The New Year in Taipei drink had a pleasant and unique spiced flavor, which I really enjoyed. Definitely worth checking out because the decor was vibrant and had tasty sharable plates.

    two floors of bars and food. the first floor is themed after a train station and the second after cd players. great place to grab food and drinks and just talk for hours. service is great (my water never got empty). the food wasnt anything crazy but the concepts were comfortable. next time will probably just come for the drinks. (they use cups from kinto which i also love)

    Good food from Gulp and vibes at Hue House. Very friendly service with a great atmosphere.

    food is good and drinks were AMAZING!! i've never seen some of the combinations they had, and they gave great homage to taiwanese culture. they have an upstairs casual bites and drinks spot and a downstairs restaurant. the staff were so sweet and accommodating when we asked to move between the two spaces. i love that it was casual and intimate, and very spacious with how they laid it out. i'll definitely be returning.

    I love it here! The food sooo good, love the drinking menu and vibes are good too and most importantly the best bartender everrr

    Thyme used to be a fun, charming spot that I genuinely enjoyed visiting and bringing out-of-town…read morefriends to. I was warmly greeted by the gentleman at the door (5 service there), which set a great first impression. However, as soon as I walked downstairs, it felt like the space had lost its speakeasy vibe. I was seated right near the stairs and could feel cold air from outside every time the door opened, which made the experience uncomfortable. I was also surprised to see how much the cocktail menu had been reduced. When I asked about it, the response was that "the place changed a lot." That's fair -- places evolve -- but instead of highlighting the improvements or new strengths, the explanation focused negatively on what the bar used to be. As someone who really enjoyed the former version, that wasn't reassuring. Unfortunately, the drinks themselves didn't make up for it. One of the two cocktails was simply not good. No one came back to check on the drinks, and when I asked for the check after about 20 minutes, there was no acknowledgment that I had barely touched mine or any inquiry about my experience. Overall, a place I once enjoyed and recommended now feels more like a standard dive bar where " Mixologist " were replaced by bartender and were fun cool looking and tasty drinks were replaced by " less complex cocktail ", lacking the warmth and attention to detail that once made it special.

Easy to find if you know what you're looking for, if you arrive right at 5pm on a cold weeknight in the winter, you'll easily find a table or seat at the bar. Very cute space, cozy like everyone says, but nothing mind blowing. Music is moderately loud. The menu in early February still included their winter holiday cocktails. I was more interested in the apple sage house-made fermented soda, and it was pretty good-large glass, flavorful and not too sweet. My friend enjoyed her pomegranate version. The space started to fill up at around 5:30. Service was polite when you could get it, but generally very inattentive, even before it got busy. It honestly didn't feel too different from anu other very nice NYC bar, in terms of menu selection, prices, ambiance and service. Maybe that's standard for NYC speakeasies, but the places I frequented in other cities were more fun and felt more worth the price. I'll still give another NYC spot a try, but not coming back to Thyme.

Lo and behold, she did have a table for us - as long as we were out in an hour and a half, which was just the right amount of time. Stepping into this place feels like you're in some secret, super special cocktail club. Decor is super high end, vibes are upscale AF. The cocktail menu is incredible -- and incredibly pricey, but truly worth it. I ordered the Valentino which was strong and sweet, really well made. They gave out a complimentary nut mix that was also delicious. Service was swift and gracious. If you're looking for a spot to impress a date, this is it.

There's also seating on the second floor, perfect for couples or small groups. I tried two of their cocktails when I went. The first was the Eastern Julep, a delicious twist on a classic. The mint Moroccan tea gave the drink a cool, refreshing taste on every sip. I also tried the Silver Screen, the closest drink I could find to an old fashioned. It was interesting, there was definitely a hint of a buttery taste. Overall a really balanced bourbon drink. I walked in and found room at the standing tables. A bar seat eventually opened up but I was already on my second drink by then. Definitely make reservations if you're planning a visit!

It somehow manages to feel both refined and relaxed at the same time. The kind of place where you half expect to spot Hemingway in the corner pretending not to eavesdrop. We started with half a dozen oysters, which were fresh, briny, and exactly what you want with serious cocktails. Crisp, clean, gone in about three minutes. For drinks, we ordered the Smoke Show and the King Tusk. The Smoke Show was beautifully balanced. The Grey Goose vodka and Dolin Dry gave it that classic martini backbone, but the fino sherry and brine added depth. The smoked olive oil and blue cheese olive brought just enough savory drama without overpowering the glass. It was complex but not fussy. The King Tusk leaned more aromatic and layered. The vermouths gave it richness, while the Buddha's Hand and osmanthus flower added subtle citrus and floral notes that lingered in a really elegant way. It felt like a cocktail designed to be savored slowly. The music fit the mood perfectly, not too loud, just enough to give the room energy without killing conversation. Overall, it's a great spot if you want elevated drinks in a space that feels transportive without being pretentious. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm in the mood for a refined, slightly cinematic night out in Flatiron.
