In cities with a Chinatown, weekend mornings bring dim sum carts or order sheets, and lines form early at the most popular spots in New York; walk-ins are standard and reservations are uncommon outside large banquet restaurants. Regional labels matter: Cantonese, Sichuan, Hunan, Shanghainese and Taiwanese kitchens cook very differently, so a restaurant's stated region is a better guide to the food than the word "Chinese" alone. Some smaller restaurants in New York are BYOB with no corkage fee; call ahead to confirm. A tip of 15-20% is customary for table service but not expected at counter-order takeout. Spice level, MSG and allergen questions are normal to ask before ordering, and most kitchens are happy to leave an ingredient out or tone down the heat if you mention it when ordering rather than after the food arrives.

Hours are published for 2 days a week. The most common schedule is 2–10 PM. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (212) 933-0264.

New York is in New York, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. Traffic in New York peaks on weekday mornings and afternoons, so allow extra time then. Addresses read from the street number up to the city, state abbreviation and five-digit ZIP code; the map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Visited Crab House July 24. The vibe & ambiance was great. The background music (afro beats, reggae, & hip-hop) was on point. We were told the playlist changes daily. "EXCELLENT Contactless Buffet". Food cooked to perfection (see pics). Great service. $125 per person with an option to take home what's left on the table at the end for an additional charge that varies ($25 for us). Cocktails 🍸 🍹 available for an additional charge. NY parking is always horrible. Garage or public transportation recommended. 4 out of 5 stars. Would return and definitely recommend. (p.s.- if your birthday bring 3 other people and you eat free)

Food was great. Great experience. Drinks were high. Free for Birthday person if you have 4 people. Lobster was on the tough side but was good. Need more sides in my opinion. We didn't receive 2 items we asked for but it was ok...the servers were working hard and we didn't have a long wait. I would recommend trying this experience.

I don't know where to begin with this place. Visiting NY and we were craving seafood and landed upon this place. They have 2 AYCE options, one including unlimited lobster. The unlimited lobster option was $125, and I personally thought that the price was a steal. There was no wait when we got there around 5:30pm, but when we were leaving, there was a wait. So you order your first round and they will bring out enough for the number of people in your party. Example, 3 people in your party, they will bring 3 portions. If you're anything like me, and want to try a little bit of everything, I would HIGHLY suggest that you ask them to bring less than your party size. The portions are generous for most dishes, but regardless, it is unlimited so you can just order more if the first round wasn't enough. I wish I knew this prior being that we struggled to finish some dishes and wanted more of another. The lobsters were medium/smallish in size, but still a good portion. In general, I enjoyed all the dishes. The service was great too. Our server was very nice and once the food starts coming, they don't slow down. We had to start consolidating our dishes as we literally ran out of roo

This was our first restaurant stop in NYC, and it absolutely lived up to the TikTok hype! I made a reservation for four on a Thursday for our anniversary celebration, and from the moment we arrived, it was an experience. We got there a little before opening, so we waited at the bar, enjoyed a few drinks, and took in the stunning decor. The restaurant was incredibly beautiful, with elegant gold horse accents and gorgeous stairways that made for amazing photo opportunities. Once seated, our waiter made the evening even more special by acknowledging our anniversary and adding thoughtful romantic touches, which we truly appreciated. The dining room felt upscale, beautifully decorated with flowers and elegant table settings. The menu was such a fun concept β€” you simply check off everything you’d like to try, and with their all-you-can-eat option, we went all in! They offered an incredible variety including crab, lobster, steak, salmon, fried rice, crab rangoons, shrimp prepared multiple ways, lo mein, and so much more. We decided to sample as much as possible, and it was worth it. The food started arriving quickly, fresh, hot, and in generous portions. Everything we tried was flavorful
