Pinch Chinese New York Reviews from The Last Year
Fantastic authentic food, they've done everything right w
Fantastic authentic food, they've done everything right w the Peking duck, which needs reservation 3 days ahead, totally worth it.
Terrible service.
Had a reservation, however, when they saw kids would be present two employees provided two different stories as to why we couldn't be seated. A table for 6 was a possibility, and reserved, however when they saw the kids they stated it was a fire hazard to seat 6. Another employee came to the front and knew nothing about the fire law. Terrible human beings to turn away children who were hungry and waited for a 9:15 reservation. Worst attitude and absolutely willing to do nothing to accommodate.
The Michelin guide is not kidding around when it raves
The Michelin guide is not kidding around when it raves about the soup dumplings here. They carried the show, although everything else was pretty good too. And service was on point (Sunday afternoon, operating at half capacity). Pork Soup Dumplings - just as good as Din Tai Fung in Taiwan (which I've had on two separate occasions). Thin-skinned and able to withstand chopstick pressure, with flavorful soup. If I wanted to be annoyingly nitpicky, maybe the inner pork could've been more tender, but that was the last thing on my mind. Ma Po Tofu - Great version, but I would've preferred even more mala numbing, compared to the hint of spice expressed by this version. The softness of the tofu is perfect. It's as silky as possible without basically falling apart upon contact with mouth surfaces. There's a decent portion of pork in here. Please order a side of white rice with it. Pea shoots - Pretty good. As oily as other versions I've had, but there was a pleasing garlic flavor. This is my standard veggie to get at Chinese/Szechuan places, and this will not deter me from doing so again. Zha Jiang Noodle - A fine dish, but I wouldn't order again in the future. I'd prefer some a thicker zha jiang sauce, with the noodles slicked in it. Here, the noodles were bare, albeit perfectly cooked. The marinated tomato was definitely a nice touch.
My friends and I went to Pinch because of the recent buzz
My friends and I went to Pinch because of the recent buzz around the xlb that was made from a dtf (din tai fung) trained chief. Xlb is one of my favorite dishes, and I love the nyc scene for it. This xlb is very similar to dtf, which is wrapped tightly with thin skin and is small compared to its nyc counterpart. This size is the normal size in dtf/Taiwan, so I loved that I was able to find it in the city! Be warned, this xlb is on the pricier side, though it's worth a try if you've never had it before. We got a couple of other dishes, and everything was good, but nothing really stood out. The dishes were well done, but with nothing really different, I felt that I could get similar quality in chinatown for cheaper. But, I did like the atmosphere and vibe of the place. Our waiter was super nice and attentive, always coming by and refilling water. Oh, and the cocktails looked interesting, but we already had drinks beforehand.
Feeling very torn on this review.
I had been here about 2 years ago on a normal Saturday night (forgot to leave a review) - but would have been 5 stars. From the food, to the service, ambiance, and sommelier, it was fantastic. But we recently when this past Saturday night, on Lunar New Year for their celebration dinner and was very disappointed. I'll start by saying the food was still absolutely fantastic. This is a higher-end, modern Chinese restaurant and I believe they have a Michelin Bib Gourmand. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Their Peking duck is a stand out and truly some of the best you can get in NYC! But the rest of the experience that night left a lot to be desired. To start, we were seated in a room within an apartment building next door to the restaurant that we had to walk outside and take an elevator to get to. It was very odd. I know this is becoming more and more of a thing in NYC as a way to allow smaller restaurants to seat more parties. But part of the reason I enjoy going to some restaurants is for the ambience of the restaurant that is advertised. The service: wow. We were a party of 7 and interested in ordering a few bottles of wine, one bottle is typically 4 glasses, so we asked to get 2 bottles at a time. They were basically refusing to give us more than one bottle and then took so long to bring out the next one, meanwhile the 7 of us basically had a half of glass. Service was also just very sporadic and really slow and hard to flag down. We basically had to beg for our check to leave. I understand it is one of their busiest nights of the year, but this was wild. Overall, I do recommend this place of a regular night for a great meal. Won't be coming back for Lunar New Year thought.
Modern Chinese spot made be an alum of Din Tai Fung.
Pinch Chinese and as a result, the soup dumplings at Pinch Chinese are the star of the show, filled with flavorful broth and wrapped by thin skin. The rest of the menu is still pretty strong, with well executed renditions of "three cup chicken," a Taiwanese classic, and eggplant cooked in a garlic sauce. Pricing is a little upscale but not excessive. The vibe of the restaurant is pretty modern and loud, with a crowd that reminds you that you're dining in Soho. The wall we were sitting next to was decorated with instructions on what to do when someone is choking which is a little...odd but fun I guess? The wine menu is pretty large and a welcome sight for a Chinese restaurant. Service was good, no complaints in that department. While the soup dumplings are a standout, the rest of the food offerings are still pretty good. Not a bad Chinese spot to check out if you somehow have a desire to pair your dumplings with a white wine.

The food is tasty, but extremely expensive and the menu is very limited, especially for a Chinese restaurant. I knew that going in, I guess. But what came as a surprise is they didn't serve rice. I have never heard of a Chinese restaurant that did not offer rice. What give
It was fairly easy to walk in and get a table on a monday
It was fairly easy to walk in and get a table on a monday night. The dumplings, soup dumplings and wontons are where pinch shines. I suspect that the larger dishes were a bit overpriced, but I only tried 1 large dish which was the snow crab noodles. It was delicious, but they could have put it in a bigger dish with more noodles and crab for the same $46 price tag. I doubt it even amounted to half a snow crab with the amount of crab meat. However, the snow crab was quite well flavored by the soup/sauce situation. I was disappointed by the Panna cotta since it was super small and the only flavor came from the fruit that was on top. The donut was much better, was freshly made and had a fantastic texture. The scoop of ice cream on top was a nice touch. I'd go back for maybe some of the rice and noodle dishes, but I may skip the larger dishes if you're looking for any type of value.
Pinch is all the new hype thanks to tiktok.
I heard rumors that it is quite comparable to the well-known Din Tai Fung! With these rumors you know I had to try their infamous marinated cucumber and soup dumplings!! Their marinated cucumber is quite flavorful, mostly bursting of sesame oil taste, but still very delicious. Their soup dumplings are extremely delicious, however, my only complaint of the soup dumplings is that they are quite small in comparison to some other soup dumplings I've had that are wayyy cheaper. $10.00 dollars for 6 tiny soup dumplings is quite pricy considering I've had $8.95 for 8 larger soup dumplings before. My favorite dishes from pinch had to be their pea shoots and their cumin pork ribs. I am usually not a pork girlie, but after trying their cumin pork ribs, I might just become a pork girlie now. Their Ma Po Tofu also did not disappoint, but I will say I've had better. The service was very quick and the waiters never let my water dip below half the cup which is usually my gold standard for judging the service. Overall, Pinch is definitely worth the hype in my opinion, and be sure to pay attention to the details on the table set up when you are seated as I was enticed by their lego chopstick holders - super creative!
This is my new favorite Chinese spot! Every single course
This is my new favorite Chinese spot! Every single course was so yummy. Also, immaculate vibes inside the restaurant and they were playing great music from the 2000s (Xtina, Britney, etc). My boyfriend and I are obsessed and can't wait to go back very soon. Also, the prices are very reasonable for the dishes
Swung by for lunch at this happening Chinese restaurant in
Swung by for lunch at this happening Chinese restaurant in Soho. The space is narrow, but deep. Our friend had been there before and had us sit at a high top table in the front of the restaurant, because the back gets quite noisy. The staff were uniformly lovely. They were an interesting combination of Asians, hipsters with the occasional Asian hipster thrown in for good measure. I was getting over a cold and had some excellent jasmine tea. The food was very good. The quality of the ingredients was apparent in most of the dishes. The soup dumplings were delicate and perfectly constructed. The mushroom dumplings and shrimp dumplings were pretty good. The sticky rice with pork was excellent. The snow pea leaves and snow crab with rice noodles were my favorite dishes. Most of the portions were on the small side. This place is a lot like Red Farm- a hipster Chinese mash up. Here the layout is better and the decor is nicer. The food is very good, but not a great value proposition. I liked it and am glad we visited, but it's not twice as good as my favorite Chinese restaurants. On the other hand, it is a nicer dining experience than most other Chinese restaurants. Great place for a splurge meal. If you are budget minded, you can do better. 3.75 stars.
- very clean venue and easily fits 30 people - good for big
- very clean venue and easily fits 30 people - good for big parties - there were 2 parties of 10+ people - drinks are excellent and well mixed; not for aesthetics as they look plain but are quite delicious - dumplings are tiny but good - the soup dumplings were delicious and taste like Din Tai Fung - chicken wind sand had excellent sauce - cucumbers were clean and not spicy - fried rice steak was excellent Overall, a clean and authentic Chinese place catering towards a variety of audiences. Prices are very high, given its SoHo, but we will be back!
Pure class!!!
What a great restaurant serving high end Chinese food!!! You won’t be disappointed I assure you. Amicable staff. You won’t want to miss it!!!

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
