Service was fast and ambiance was really good. Went on a Tuesday around noon and was not very packed. Food was...ok. Definitely a solid attempt at elevating Chinese food but the flavors were at times odd and frequently not Chinese at all.

Stopped in on the way to Fotografiska and was pleasantly surprised. Fast casual with surprisingly good food. A neighborhood gem.

I had a great first visit to Milu today, which will not be my last. Cool, relaxing vibe in a modern space with food that lives up to the hype. While the bowls were tempting, I decided to try the broccoli and mushroom wontons and a duck bun. The wontons were packed with veggies and little discernable filler, with prominent broccoli flavor. I enjoyed them, but they only came with chili oil. They really needed some vinegar for balance. The duck bun had a tender, savory filling that could have used a little more duck, but was great nonetheless. The highlight was the egg tart soft serve I went back to the counter to get, which I couldn't pass up despite being pretty full. It was a good portion adorned with crispy pastry. It was a pretty good mimic of the Portuguese egg tarts, and the pastry made it. Service is friendly and at the counter, and you bus your own. Water is available off to the side near merch. All in all, this is a lovely little oasis with great food, and I'd definitely return.

This is a nomad gem. My friend and I went for the weekend dim sum special. The interior is clean and well decorated. There weren't many people there which meant the ambiance was peaceful and quaint. Our server was attentive. We ordered shrimp toast, chili crisp chicken, waffle scallion pancakes and the chili cucumbers. My favorite was the waffle scallion pancake, which was flakey and crispy and paired well with chili oil. The crispy chicken was a bit too dry for my taste. The cucumbers were excellent- refreshing and flavorful. Overall a great spot for a quick bite.

TLDR: This is everything you could want out of a fast casual spot. FOOD: This spot generally is a place for bowls, that come with a protein and veggies on top of rice. I shared two different bowls with my boyfriend. We got the salmon with ginger and scallion on multigrain rice, which was a very good. It reminded me of a Chinese inspired dish my stepdad makes, which comes with a cold ginger sauce. I quite like this dish and would get again. It also had great charred broccoli. The brisket dish was the other bowl we shared. I was less enthused by this one, I thought the brisket was good, but at some parts over flavored. It is spicy, but the flavors weren't really for me. I also wasn't a big fan of the cucumber salad - which is odd, considering I quite like cucumber salad usually. We also got the broccoli and mushroom wontons, which were pretty disappointing. There was very little flavor in the wontons - would not order again. AMBIANCE: The spot is really cute. It's a fast casual space so you seat yourself, there are several tables and a few booths against the wall. The booths are comfortable and have fabric cushions on them. I think the place is decorated nicely and is a really cute spot. SERVICE: Again, it's fast casual, so you order at the counter and see yourself. Overall, I did find the people very nice and willing to explain what was on the venue. No complaints. OVERALL: Tasty, but seems to depend on what you order. Fast, cute, reasonably priced - will be back for the salmon!

Came here to try the egg tart soft serve in the Winter and I'm so glad I did. The soft serves was so flavorful as it tasted exactly like egg tart. It was so refreshing and did not leave a bad after tastes in my mouth. The egg tart puffs were added on also. Super yummy! Definitely one of the most memorable items I've had in New York.

This was the perfect place for dinner after Fotografiska museum. There was no wait on Saturday 6 PM, and we got really good service. But more importantly, the food was on point. Egg tart soft serve - they nailed the ice cream's base flavor. it did feel like eating egg tart in ice cream form, and it made for a good finisher. Turnip Tots - simple, but executed perfectly. It had just the right crisp without being overcooked, and none of the pieces were limp. Chili crisp chicken - another well-executed dish, from the spiced aroma to the flavorful bite. Soy roasted chicken - the dark meat chicken could've been a tad more juicy, but the portion was generous, and the flavors were pretty good. Chinese greens - a good veggie side to balance out the fried foods we had. Waffled scallion pancake - this was ok, and I wouldn't get it next time. Taste-wise, I would rather have a flaky scallion pancake, but at least this was a cute dish.

Super fast service and casual restaurant, but with a beautiful interior, so it is a great place to catch up with friends if you are low on time but want a nice meal :) I got the ginger scallion salmon bowl... while the salmon was so soft and the charred broccoli was packed with flavor, I do think the bowl was a bit overpriced for how much salmon I got (maybe like 5 small cubes). This place would definitely be a go-to if the cost was more in line with the amount of food I got, but nevertheless, the salmon was really delicious. I was also able to sample the black tea and egg tart soft serve flavors. The egg tart was very unique and custardy, tasted almost like a cake. Black milk tea was my favorite!
