"If drinking natural wine served in razor-thin glasses while listening to ’90s hip-hop appeals to you, Tolo should be your next Dimes Square reservation. It manages to skirt some of the tiresome trends of the surrounding restaurants, and the regional Chinese cooking is reliable and unpretentious. Maybe it’s because there aren’t many seats, maybe it’s because the restaurant still has the awning from the previous tenant (an old Chinatown cafe), but Tolo feels like it attracts a more nonchalant crowd than its neighbors, and for that, we respect it." - carina finn koeppicus, bryan kim, hannah albertine, will hartman
