Unlike other countries or ethnic groups, the Chinese people have unique dietary preferences, which makes many Chinese tourists or Chinese international students to anywhere in the world or habitually looking for Chinese restaurants. As a well-known tourist city, New York has a large number of visitors from all over the world every year. So, what Chinese restaurants are worth trying?

Hot pot is a kind of food, it is also a kind of culture. In recent years, the butter hot pot has become more and more popular. Not only are there more pot restaurants opened in various cities in China, but even more hot pot restaurants in New York are opening. Among those hot pot restaurants in New York, I recommend the Xiang Hotpot.

There are two main reasons for the recommendation. The first and main reason is that it tastes good. After trying a lot of hot pots, I still feel that Xiang Hotpot is my personal favorite one. The bottom of the butter is very fragrant, you can also choose different degrees of spicy! For those who love spicy food, Xiang Hotpot is the best choice. The second reason, I feel the overall atmosphere of the restaurant. They not only used a lot of Chinese elements to decorate the restaurant but also arranged well-known traditional Chinese artists to perform in the restaurant when there was a lot of customers. A comprehensive display of various traditional Chinese culture.

Finally, I would like to recommend a new restaurant that is open recently. This restaurant was also just recently tasted. It feels like a creative restaurant. There are some more traditional Chinese dishes in the Menu. Of course, the most memorable and interesting dishes are funny and creative dishes. The taste of this restaurant is relatively light for some customers. It offers a wide range of specialties from different regions and is cooked to the appropriate taste. When we went there, we ordered the pickled fish, which is a Hunan cuisine. The overall taste is sour and refreshing and it is very tasty. A friend who was traveling with me was a Taiwanese. He ordered a famous braised pork rice in Taiwan. After the taste, I was very impressed, because the dish is generally sweet, and it is made according to the characteristics of Taiwanese cuisine. This makes me feel that this restaurant is very intimate and very attentive.

Environmental:
The restaurant is not very large. In 2019, it was upgraded to become the second star of Michelin. It was one star before. This restaurant is divided into two sections, a sushi bar, and kaiseki bar. Actually, it is a little difficult to book the seat in Kaiseki bar. There are 8 Seat at Kaiseki Counter and 10 Seat at Omakase Sushi Bar. We booked Kaiseki this time. The location around the bar is the dining area. Space is very close and convenient for two people to have the conversation, but it is a bit crowded to some extent.

The overall dining experience is very good, the amount of the whole course is adequate, even for men. This price is very cost-effective for the ingredients provided. The overall feeling is very satisfying for me. There are a few dishes that are impressive, and I want to eat again!

Uchu’s wine list is quite rich and there are many precious collections. I especially like the small glass of wine before the meal, the taste is light, and the taste is unique.

Uni-Shiso

People who love sea urchin must love this dish. The sea urchin is mixed with the fried basil leaves below. It is a rich taste in a creative and unique way.

Golden Osetra Caviar Temaki

The caviar is full of hand rolls, and the first bite is very happy and satisfying. Caviar and seaweed are together, tasting really nice, with a small amount of rice. The taste is very fragrant, relieves the greasy feeling.

Sando-A5 Miyazaki Wagyu

Wagyu is really my favorite ingredient. Butter toast is not greasy with A5 beef, it is the best option for me, except that the calories are too high without any other disadvantages!

Donabe-Matsutake

It can be understood as pine mushroom pottery rice, and the pine mushroom gives a lot of fragrant smell after roasting. The sauce is also very good, and it is the dish that impressed me the most.

Soufflé

For me who don’t really like dessert, Soufflé is really an exception! Chocolate Soufflé matched with vanilla ice cream. I can really give a perfect score for this dessert!

In short, Schu’s dining experience is very good, looking at the chef to do the food to the table, my heart is full of expectations. I look forward to the next time I try the sushi bar.

When we arrived at the door, we found a supermarket called Brooklyn Fare. I didn’t expect to go through the supermarket to the end. It was an open kitchen with a large open space. The kitchen was surrounded by three sides and had a table. Personally, recommend that the seat of the meal must choose counter, 18 seats around the open kitchen total, to have a better dining experience than the surrounding table, which is one of the major features of this restaurant. Throughout the course, I give the individual rate of the best dishes. Also, it is worthy to mention that this restaurant offers 7000 bottles of wine, and most of them are European wines. I absolutely recommend that people who like red wine should never miss it!

Sea Urchin: Hokkaido sea urchin truffles with Brio

The first classic in the new menu is Hokkaido Sea Urchin, a fresh sea urchin with a crispy crunchy bread that can be picked up in the first pass. It’s really amazing, without the smell of sea urchins, but retaining its fresh taste. For people who love sea urchins, this dish must not be missed.

Kaluga queen Carviar& Blue fin tuna Calauga caviar

The caviar is accompanied by Japanese pine-leaf crabs, which are steamed to lock in moisture and preserve the most original flavor. The caviar is made from Kaluga’s caviar and they provide in a very large volume. It can completely fill the entire mouth when you eat the dish. The salty taste of the caviar makes the crab taste better, plus the characteristic white sauce, which combines three different flavors. In general, this is my favorite

Japan’s Miyazaki’s A5

The chef used a simple and mellow sauce to highlight the beef’s fleshy, making the taste of the Miyazaki’s A5 excellent. It tastes delicious and doesn’t feel greasy.

Frozen Soufflé

It was a very amazing dessert, which surprised and impressed me a lot. Soufflé is an intricate and delicate dessert, but the chef makes the Soufflé into ice cream creatively so that the taste is not sweet and fresh enough. I love it so much!
