This NYC Chinese Restaurant Is a Real Gem!

Just tried a fantastic Chinese restaurant in Manhattan that truly delivers — from crispy roast duck to savory lamb spine hotpot, every dish impressed! Here’s what we ordered (pictured above), and nothing disappointed. 📍 Chef Huang 635 2nd Ave, New York, NY 🦆 Chef Huang Roast Duck (Whole) The skin was perfectly crispy, the meat tender and juicy, sliced neatly — wrapped in a thin pancake with scallions and sauce, it was pure satisfaction in one bite. 🍲 Lamb Spine Hotpot Rich and flavorful broth, not too heavy, with tender lamb and fresh veggies that soaked up all the deliciousness as they simmered. Perfect for a cold day! ❄️ 👍 Other Highlights: • Lamb Skewers: Well-seasoned and juicy, not dry at all. • Garlic Shanghai Greens: Crisp and refreshing, balancing the richer dishes. • Fried Rice: Light, fluffy, with distinct grains. • Sea Shrimp Paste: Bouncy and fresh. • Cucumber Salad with Seafood Sauce: Crunchy and appetizing — goes great with rice! • Strawberry Dirty Milk Drink: A sweet, creamy surprise — so good! 🥤 🆕 Slow-Braised Crispy Beef Ribs A must-try! Crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful inside — truly delicious. Overall, this meal was a winner. The roast duck is a standout, and the lamb hotpot is ideal for group dining in winter. If you love authentic Chinese food in NYC, this spot is worth the visit! 🥢❤️ #LocalEats #NYCFood #NYCEats #WinterComfortFood #FoodReview #FoodieNYC #ChineseFoodNYC #ManhattanEats #DuckLovers #HotpotSeason
