Antidote

"This is my second time here. Overall great vibe, but I think the food is a little bit too salty this time. The thousand year old egg is my favorite. Just be careful that the pepper topping is very spicy. Probably because it’s Chinese new year time, and also Friday night, service is slow."

"A spot perfect for those intrigued by modern Chinese cuisine, especially great for introducing non-Chinese folks interested in Chinese food to the modern twist. In terms of taste, it maintains the core elements of traditional Chinese cuisine but with less oil and salt, making it a healthier option. Plus, the presentation is more refined. Even though it's modern Chinese, it doesn't feel like it's catering specifically to foreigners with a fake Chinese vibe. It seems like they've struck an excellent balance between preserving tradition and innovatively improving. Beyond the food, the service and dining environment are top-notch. Antique decorations and live green plants elevate the dining experience significantly."

"I recently had the pleasure of dining at Antidote during Christmas, and I must say it was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. This hidden gem exceeded all my expectations. The ambiance was warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a memorable meal. The restaurant's decor and lighting added to the overall cozy atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for a relaxed evening. The menu offered a delightful variety of Chinese dishes, each prepared with utmost care and precision. The ingredients were fresh, and the presentation was exquisite. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the cuisine they served. They were more than willing to offer recommendations and accommodate special dietary requests, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!"

"Run, do not walk, to this amazing restaurant in Williamsburg. I’ve been there 3 times now and each time is better than the last. The food, the cocktails, the service are all top notch. My absolute favorite dish is the eggplant with garlic sauce and my favorite drink is the slow ride. Definitely make a reservation here!"

"The meal at Antidote was top notch. Most dishes were incredibly delicious. For my drink, I had a couple Be Passion cocktails. The drink was aromatic, fragrant, and delicious. My table ordered several plates to share. The highlights were the juicy Eggplants with Garlic, tender Sliced Lamb with Scallion, and Tea Smoked Duck. The Crab Fried Rice was not very flavorful and Egg Lava Buns could have been skipped. Overall a great experience - our server was attentive, friendly, and made sure our food quickly arrived at our table. The atmosphere was pleasant with its dim lighting, well spaced out tables, and sound low enough to hold a conversation. The price was very good costing under $100/person including two drinks, food, and tip."
