“My partner and I went to Yingtao in Hell's Kitchen on Friday after walking past it for the last few months. In short, it was awesome.”

“The nian gao there has been one of the best desserts I've had all year. Loved the Crab Noodles as well - wish there was just a little less foam and more noodles tho. I went a few months ago and they did an octopus dish that was reminiscent the ones you'd find at a Spanish tapas style restaurant but with XO sauce. So flavorful and the octopus was cooked perfectly.”

“Yingtao might have been the single worst Michelin / fine dining meal I’ve had in my lifetime. Salty food, bad ambiance (can’t hear servers), overall not a win.”

“The total cost was $165, plus $45 for uni and truffle supplements, and 3 glasses of wine at about $20 each. Shame on me for getting the wine and supplements I guess, but even so, this was an aggressive waste of money.”

“for anyone who hasn't gone -- GO! it's really good, the pricing is comparable to the korean fine dinings (well not atoboy, but the other ones), the service is excellent, the space is really nice!”

“They did have a dumpling course when I went, but I dunno if there's one now. I will say they did a great job at paying homage to Chinese classics.”
