Potluck Club

“LOOOOVEEEEE!!!! This was a standout place out of our entire two weeks spent in NY. From the cool atmosphere to the drinks and don’t even get me started on the food… incredible!! It’s honestly hard to choose favorites because it was all so good, but if I had to, I’d say the mushroom potstickers and definitely don’t skip out on the chicken and biscuits. Three of us ordered a couple items from each section to do family style and it was perfect. Would go here again and again and again.”

“This was my first time here, and I instantly fell in love with both the vibes and the food. I walked in, put my name on the waitlist, and luckily got seated right away. Once seated, we started with appetizers and wow!! Berkshire pork & chive potstickers are a must-order ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ super juicy inside with crispy skin, topped with a special homemade chili oil. Endive salad is also a must ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ so refreshing, with dragon fruit and a perfectly balanced dressing. For mains, we ordered: Salt & pepper chicken with scallion biscuits—crispy chicken served with scallion biscuits might sound unusual, but the combination is amazing, especially with the dipping sauce and pickled jalapeños. Tiger shrimp with candied walnuts ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (100/10!)—my absolute favorite. So flavorful and delicious, served with fried romanesco cauliflower. For drinks, we had the Golden Bee and Crouching Tiger both paired beautifully with the food. The staff were incredibly nice and friendly. The vibe is cozy and charming, giving a classic theater feel mixed with a modern atmosphere. This may have been my first visit, but it definitely won’t be my last. I already can’t wait to come back and try more dishes.”

“Overview: Come for the excellent, elevated yet authentic Chinese cuisine, stay for the chill vibes, decor and pleasant service. A completely recommend checking out Potluck Club when in Chinatown or in need of a nice yet chill dining experience. Food: 4.5/5 The dishes came out pretty quickly and the portion sizes were shareable. Everything was pretty delicious with robust, satisfying flavors. Yes the price point is steeper than a mom and pop restaurant in Chinatown but the overall experience justifies the costs. We ordered: Braised Short Rib, Oyster Mushroom Noodles, Spicy Eggplant and Tiger Shrimp. No regrets on any of those items and I'm looking forward to exploring the rest of the menu. In terms of adult beverages I had the Puffed Rice Chinese Pale Ale and it was really delectable. I general don't go for Pale Ale but this one was very smooth with notes of fruits. Service: 5/5 We were well taken care of by all. Even the bartender helped out by picking up one of our napkins that fell on the floor. Ambiance: 5/5 The decor is excellent and makes the environment welcoming for dining with friends, a chill date, etc. Evening the dining ware is pleasing. Did I check out the plate manufacturer? I sure did. They're excellently designed (if sleek and modern is your style) and hefty.”

“Probably our favorite restaurant in the city! Every-time we go, we eat off the whole menu family style. Every dish is flavorful and service is great. I highly recommend the fried rice and the fried chicken with extraaa scallion biscuits! Service is great and welcoming. Cant wait to go back for dinner again.”

“Food was cooked on induction stoves (visible from the bar seating in the back)which made the food not have that classic Chinese wok taste and didn't give much time for the flavors to really sink in. We got the eggplant, fried rice and crispy chicken. Flavor profile was either not present at all or really salty with not much depth, very one dimensional. For the cost of the dishes I expected more. However the crispy chicken had good texture and taste. The atmosphere of the restaurant is really cute and they have a great Chinese vintage theme going. However my friends and I went there to catch up and have a meal and during the hour that we were there the server came over every like 10 mins to "check if we were ok" even when we were clearly in the middle of eating our meals. Vibes went from attentive to pressuring us to leave really quickly. Our waitress even sent over another waiter staff to see how we were doing which made it feel even more like they were kicking us out. There were no lines outside and other available seating in the restaurant so we were really confused why they were rushing us. And we only stayed for an hour from the time seated till the time out the door even though I feel like most restaurants would give 90mins -2 hrs courtesy. Overall disappointing.”
