“Probably the most overrated restaurant I've been to in NYC. Food is greasy and lacks any real flavor. Portions are small for the price you pay. It's completely unjustified hype”

“Super disappointing considering how hard it was to get a table.”

“I do think their more fusion courses are very, very good. The cha sky mcrib is definitely good as well. The fuyu cacio e pepe is also great.”

“My friends who share a heritage with the owners of Bonnie’s have roundly found the food mediocre to bad.”
H3
“My experience was horrible. The waitress was so unattentive. Never offer water; we asked, and she took forever to bring us water.”

“Bonnie's. Their social media budget must have been huge because that place was overpriced, had small portions, and the food was pretty meh”

“We did A feast of the 7 fishes by a collaboration between San Sabino x Bonnie’s last year and got unbelievable food poisoning as a group. So, maybe don’t do either of those restaurants if they’re doing it again.”

“The food was fine, but not anything more special than what you could get in Chinatown”
H2
“Overrated from other suggestions : Bonnies and Anthony and Sons”
H2
“But the dishes Bonnie's has always been known for - the Char Siu McRib, cacio e pepe with fermented bean curd, insanely garlic buttery long beans, and xo cheung fun - are all alive and well.”
H2
“Bonnies is the most overrated restaurant in NYC”
H2
“But I think their char soy McRib is great though, as are their fries with scallion sauce.”
H2
“prices were insane compared to the quality of food. “Elevated” Cantonese food in tiny portions that tasted imbalanced”

“I love it! I agree that the cocktails were a highlight but I also really loved the food—surprised to see so many negative comments so I wonder if there’s a consistency issue.”
H2
“I also found it mid and I love Cantonese food! The McRib wasn’t half as flavorful and PORKY as charsiu BBQ pork you get in Chinatown.”
H2
“I went today, it was pretty good just expensive. Quite liked the appetizers.”
H2
“I think Bonnie's food is decent but I LOVE the fried milk sundae...”

“Greenpoint/Williamsburg (Bernie’s, cozy royale, Bonnie’s, cafe mogador).”
H2
“I live around there, have been three times with the last time being recently after a year or so not going. Would say its better now. Idk if its on the menu still but they had an italian hoagie fried rice that was incredible.”
H2
“that wonton soup was baller”
H2
“Same here. I was very underwhelmed by nearly every dish. The tinned fish and the sundae were the only exceptions”
H2
“The only good and memorable things about that spot were the stuffed fish and our drinks. Service aside from our bartender (we sat at the bar) was abysmal.”
H2
“It was good, I can see why people say it's overhyped/overpriced but I enjoyed my time there and would go back again. Drinks were top tier.”
H2
“First time was meh, second time was absolutely terrible. We got some sort of BLT fried rice that was basically inedible.”
H2
“It was okay for me but not worth the trip or the hype.”
H2
“Love the xo Cheung fun tho”
H2
“I had a great meal at Bonnie’s and think it’s worth going at least once.”

“Bonnie’s (mcrib, fried rice rolls, and don’t skip the fried milk sundae!)”
H2
“I didn't love the cacio e Pepe spin at Bonnie's. To me, it was boring. They have better dishes. I'd skip it and eat their fried rice roll dish or walnut shrimp instead.”
