Best Chinese Restaurants in Governors Island

As someone who is gluten intolerant, I was over the moon to have such a wide variety of items to choose from! All of the items were delicious that we ordered. 

The red bean spareribs are hands down the best spareribs I’ve ever had! And do not skip out on the mango pudding if you’re a mango lover. The layers of flavor are incredible!!

The dining experience here is nothing short of exceptional, with outstanding service that perfectly complements the superb cuisine. The decor and ambiance transport you to a quintessential steakhouse setting, blending timeless charm with a contemporary twist—exposed brick and a lofty industrial aesthetic set the stage beautifully. The cocktail menu deserves special praise, with the Mezcal Old Fashioned standing out as a true masterpiece—a smoky, nuanced twist on the classic that’s worth savoring. As for the star of the meal, we indulged in the dry-aged New York strip sirloin, expertly prepared to a flawless medium. The steak was a revelation, its tender richness melting like butter with each bite. Though I typically gravitate toward a ribeye, this strip was a compelling choice that did not disappoint. Every detail, from the ambiance to the culinary execution, reflected a thoughtful commitment to quality, making this steakhouse an unforgettable experience.

Food is still quite good, but not as good as in days gone by. Service is beyond excellent. It is extremely pricey ($1200 for 6 people -- only 3 drinking alcohol - and barely 2 drinks each - no wine). Loud but not unbearable. Still would go just for the chicken satay, or candied beef.

The food selection was very good, and I enjoyed the pleasant ambiance. It was a quick stop, but the service was timely, the drinks were well-prepared, and the food was quite tasty. Overall, a nice experience and a place I would consider visiting again.
