“Very cute, very tiny, family-run Chinese spot with a small menu of dumplings and noodles. It's a quick, casual, order-at-the-counter type place, but the dining room is nice enough that it doesn't feel like you're eating at a fast food joint.”

replying to u/Agreeable-Ad-7110: I want to answer this question with the presumption the person has some idea of the food scene in that if you look up salt bae’s place or bad Roman, immediately you see a bunch of people clowning it like even outside of just google reviews and stuff. So I basically don’t disagree with what anyone has said. But I’d also throw out Tio Pepe, just a really shit tapas place on the border of Greenwich and west village that is quite expensive. I tried about 6 different things and not one was good. The chorizo was edible, and the anchovies were at least technically anchovies. But they weren’t tasty and if I wasn’t obsessed with anchovies, it would’ve been terrible. But if someone looks up this place, there’s a reasonable chance they’ll think you actually are leasing them to a great place bc of its location and vibe of being an undiscovered gem. The reason it is undiscovered is it’s bad. That’s why you can get a spot on a Friday night for 6 people without a res. And best part, it’s tapas so they’ll feel sort of compelled to order a bunch and at each juncture, they’ll be disappointed. Their sangria is actually very good rhough.
“Lin & Daughters which was pretty good.”
