Skewers, seafood boils & hot pot with bold Beijing flavors
"This crawfish (and other seafood) boil place caused a sensation when it first opened in the East Village, which may have been the site of the many prestigious and popular new Chinese restaurants at the time, but now the flagship is in Hell’s Kitchen and the East Village branch is closed." - Robert Sietsema
"Chef Eric Sze’s celtuce provides a satisfying crunch, chill, and numbing sensation with Sichuan peppercorns." - Ryan Sutton
"A pound of king crab legs ($45) with mala seasoning." - Eater Staff
"A trendy, critically acclaimed Chinese–Cajun restaurant that was highlighted as having closed amid the pandemic downturn." - Amanda Kludt
"Tina Chen, Yang Liu, and chef Zac Zheng’s Le Sia is one of the city’s best places to eat shellfish, period. This is where diners come for spicy piles of crawfish ($15 per pound), snow crab ($28 per pound), whole lobsters ($30), and, best of all, Dungeness crab ($35). Patrons don plastic gloves and eat with their hands. Any night here is a special occasion, and even more so for solo guests who tackle these succulent crustaceans by themselves." - Ryan Sutton
