Had a PHENOMENAL experience with a few girlfriends. 10s across the board: drinks, food, vibe, service. Make sure to ask to be seated in Josh’s section. He was fantastic and made the experience all the more special by being very knowledgeable about the menu, creative about cocktail options, and very attentive throughout the night. We will be back!

This is our second time here (by accident actually) and the entire experience from start to finish is great. The service is fantastic, staff is very friendly and non pretentious. The atmosphere is romantic and sultry but casual at the same time. The food was incredible and the desert was a culinary experience. Josh and unique were great as well. 10/10 recommend.

I loved the atmosphere. The modern dimlit take on a testing company office transported me far away. The music could be quieter though. The food was a bit uneven. I really liked the ants climbing the wall because of their intense flavor and slightly spice seasoning, and the coquettes were a second favorite. The staff was something else, very tender and delicious when served rare. The chicken and pork dumplings were unfortunately dry inside, and the market vegetable salad had too much lettuce. The portion sizes are good to share many dishes even in a small party. That means, they are not particularly big.

The restaurant offers a really unique menu (both food and cocktails). Upon being seated, I was greeted right away and put my order in pretty quickly. Everything was fantastic! The charred octopus and African chicken were great and looking forward to coming back to try more of the menu.

We're from Toronto and were visiting our family friends in NYC. I must say, that Macao has been one of the BEST restaurants that my partner and I have ever been to. The bartender, Chelso, was an amazing vibe - beautiful cocktails and such a warm presence from the second we entered the room. We were a party of 8, started off at the bar for some drinks and apps - then sat down for dinner. Service was so gooooood! Danell and Unique made us feel like home and their hospitality was absolutely memorable. Unique was a wonderful server and I'd definitely come back when we visit New York just because of his service and personality. The food selection was flavourful and the steak platter was delicious!! They celebrated our friends birthday with such good energy and the atmosphere really made the night stand out. If you like good vibes, great food, delicious cocktails - this place is for you. Thank you Macao! We will be back soon :)

Food, service and atmosphere are great. I love decorations so much, pretty cool design and idea. When it comes to noodles, I found the minced pork one better than the lobster one, expected the lobster to have more of a buttery flavor. Dumplings are better steamed than fried, fried it just tastes like an empanada. The salad is also really good, recommend to order. I didn’t try the croquettes as I don’t like croquettes, but the table said they were really good. Skirt steak is very tender and lots of flavor, not your regular skirt steak. The drinks are good as well. I recommend the place.

Beautiful design and ambiance. Tasty food with a menu that delights rather than overwhelms. Excellent service and interesting drinks. Would recommend to a friend for sure

Loved this spot in Tribeca! I’m all about a fun food experience - not just great dishes, but the whole vibe - music, ambiance, service. This place really has character. It’s a Portuguese-Chinese concept with a menu with lots of seafood options and a pretty good cocktail list. Everything we ordered was great, but the standout for me was the steamed mussels - the coconut broth was so flavorful and delicious. Also, definitely recommend getting the BBQ short ribs with the vegetable rice. They compliment each other so well, though the rice lacked sauce. I didn’t get a chance to try their famous lobster noodles, but this is why I’m coming back. Perfect spot for a night out with friends or a fun date - just a heads-up, the music can be loud.
