“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.”

“We went to the Lunar New Year menu (which was potentially a mistake hearing your review) and half of the dishes were so exciting but half felt very boring and missable.”

“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 duck was weirdly chewy and the skin wasn’t crispy at all. definitely looks way better than it tastes”

“Overall a good experience though I am unsure if it was worth $165.”

“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!”

“I had the tasting and the congee was probably the best dish for me.”
H2
“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.”

“Jua, 63 Clinton and Yingtao are all worth a stop.”
H2
“their crab noodles and dessert is fantastic!”
H2
“The only dish that I thought was memorable was the tofu dish.”
H2
“As a whole though, the menu felt more like a bland "Asian fusion" than Chinese, which is perhaps a bit disappointing since this was supposed to be a tasting menu celebrating the lunar new year.”
H2
“I would do the tasting menu at YingTao, seated at the front bar”
H2
“I just posted about it earlier today, but check out Yingtao! Hoping to give them the exposure they deserve. They have an 8 tasting menu and 4 course menu. Worth the value.”
H2
“It was great food service atmosphere. I’ll definitely be going back. Their take on mapo tofu definitely stuck out.”
H2
“I particularly enjoyed their non-alcoholic pairing (+$25) which was diverse and interesting.”
H2
“Yingtao (pricey but good)”
H2
“Just under that price range but also great Saint Julivert Nubiani Yingtao Corima”
H2
“Yingtao was interesting but hit or miss; the dishes that felt more Chinese were exciting, and the dishes that felt more generic fine dining were kind of a miss.”
H2
“each bite was really tender and flavorful”
H2
“I went recently and loved the food and service.”
H2
“Portion were incredibly small I thought I was being punked. It was literally food for ants. Flavors were good but I was still hungry at the end.”
H2
“But actually Yingtao was NOT good!! I say this a Chinese person. Flavors were dull, portions were small, and service was lacking.”
H2
“I went for a tasting a couple years back and really enjoyed it. There were a couple of misses, but the tasting menu was enjoyable & quite creative as a whole.”
H2
“Still worth checking out tho for a special occasion!”
H2
“Such a delicious take on a classic Chinese sweet!”
H2
“Might’ve made a duck-gobbler right there at the table, if it weren’t such a classy joint!”
