Best Authentic Restaurants in Mott Haven

Outstanding pan-Asian delicacies in a cool, night-club-like environment. Background music was not loud so that you can have a conversation with your friends/family. Everything we ordered, from the appetizers, entrees, sushi, and desserts, was amazing. Servers were friendly and attentive. Very happy that this Tao (Uptown) is still here and doing well. Definitely will repeat here for sure! :-)

Andrea was our waiter and she was very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. I did a flight of their vodkas- very nice experience. I would recommend the Jewel of Russia. We had the stroganoff, duck and sea bass. It was all wonderful but the duck was over the top!! Dessert wise- very disappointed in the Baked Alaska but the blintzes did not disappoint. Abbey, manager made us feel very welcome and valued. Highly recommend!!

First time here in many years and it did not disappoint. We had a delicious meal & several appetizers before. The service was great-very attentive. The pasta dish was amazing as was the shrimp & grits. My son seemed pleased with the salmon jerk bowl, too. The live music was an added pleasure as the female singer & band members were very talented! I would highly recommend!

This is my go to place whenever I am in town. The ambience is warm, cozy and charming. The food is amazing and the service is excellent, always. The manager, who is incredibly knowledgeable about wines, makes each diner feel welcome and at home. This special touch is a rarity in New York! Make a reservation days in advance, walk-ins impossible. I’ve tried.

Absolutely LOVED our first time at Carmines! From the service to the food everything was spectacular. It felt like we were part of the family and not only did Sarah, our sever, make sure we were well taken care of but everyone else who took our plates or tidied our table was so attentive and friendly. Definitely one of those core memory experiences. 10/10 Carmines…we will see you again :)
