Macao Trading Co. - New York

Love everything. The vibe is immaculate. Food is bang tidy! And the drinks are top tier!

Such a great dining experience! Had the shrimp dumplings, fish in the mushroom broth, chicken dish, charred octopus and glass noodles were all delicious!

Great food, ambience, music was perfect, I felt like I was in a movie

I had written in the reservation that it was my birthday, and there was no mention of that. Also, the food has gone a little bit downhill compared to prior visits.

The service and ambiance were outstanding! The food also was great and surprisingly more filling than expected (my partner I shared the calamari, African chicken (for one), ants climbing the tree noodles the bok choy). The vibe was perfect for our date night. My singular complaint is that, even taking into account the known mark ups for alcohol, the beverage I ordered was disappointing in terms of quantity. I received a fancy glass STUFFED with ice. The actual mixed drink I ordered was GONE in all of 1-1/2 swallows. The restaurant was dark, so I didn 't pay attention or realize how little drink was in my drink. Until, during my second casual sip, I heard and felt the distinct sound of air being slurped through the straw. It was then that I literally held my glass and stared at all the ice in complete amazement. (I am sharing a pic of the glass of ice) Funny, when I ordered a coke, the beverage I received contained lots of soda and only a few specks of ice chips (the soda was cold and properly carbonated). So overall, great restaurant for teetotalers or those intending to not imbibe mixed drinks throughout the entire meal. But I will strongly warn (and, again, in fairness, it is my only warning), do not order a mixed drink unless you 're the type who enjoys paying $20 for a glass of 98% ice.
