East Village's Go-To Spot for Student Hangouts! 🥢✨

CHELI in the East Village has become our regular spot for casual group meals. Whether it's post-class comfort food or a simple catch-up with friends, you really can't go wrong here—just order freely from the menu! 🐷 Stir-Fried Pork with Sea Cucumber Perfectly spicy with crispy sea cucumber and incredibly fragrant pork. 🐔 Bamboo-Style Drunken Chicken Served chilled with a light, refreshing huadiao wine aroma—so cooling in summer. (Heard their Beggar’s Chicken is amazing too—next time!) 🐟 Sweet & Sour Eel Shreds A luxurious twist on sweet and sour pork—tender, silky, and deliciously tangy. 🐠 Zhejiang-Style Pickled Fish A pleasant surprise! Tender fish in a tangy, spicy broth that really wakes up the appetite. 🥬 Jade Belt Loofah A clean, mild dish that balances out the richer flavors on the table. 📍 CHELI 19 St Marks Pl, New York, NY 10003 #EastVillageEats #NYCChinese #StudentFriendly #ComfortFood 🍚😋🍲💖🔥
