This place have 3 Michelin star no wonder... so far all the dish it's really good and but so far it's little to sweet for me but so far the one we order it's really good and the server it's very polite and helpful for explaining all the menu. And this place it's really good modern Asian restaurant and modern Chinese food and the price it's not cheap and not to expensive average $18-$40 so far we will back soon

So so yummy! It was $100 with tip for 5 of us with a pot of tea. I love the custard mochi and the eggplant so much! We had amazing staff taking care of us. Ryan and Coke are so lovely. I love Che Li so much this is my third time here and I always come when I visit New York. The interior makes you feel like you're not in NYC. The atmosphere is awesome. You're going to love it.

I will never get tired of praising this place. Food quality is Just phenomenal. We ordered eel, pork belly, and osmanthus rice cake, etc. the pork belly is a perfect blend of sweet and salty. I have also ordered their eel multiple times so far, each time does not disappoint. The presentation is also just on point. we had a bit leftover that we brought on the train, even when the food is cold, I feel like I'm in heaven when I eat their food. If I can hire their chef as my private chef in the future, that means I have made it in life.

Cheli in NYC offers a dining experience that seamlessly combines excellent food with a captivating atmosphere. From the moment you step inside, you'll be transported to a different era, thanks to its exquisite interior design that evokes the feel of ancient China. The food at Cheli is undeniably good, with a variety of dishes that cater to different tastes. However, the braised pork is the standout star of the menu. Tender, succulent, and packed with flavor, this dish is a must-order for anyone visiting the restaurant. The chefs at Cheli clearly know their craft, and it shows in the quality and taste of their offerings. Beyond the food, the ambiance of Cheli is something to be marveled at. The design is intricate and elegant, with details that make you feel as though you've been transported to a different time and place. Whether it's the lantern-lit ceilings or the beautifully crafted wooden panels, every element of the decor adds to the overall dining experience.

Food 4.5/5.0 Service 3.5/5.0 Value 3.0/5.0 Decor 4.0/5.0 Overall 4.5/5.0 Realized I forgot to rate this spot after stopping by the St Marks location, and though I'd drop this one here for good measure. Great restaurant. Prices a bit higher for the area / 'traditional Chinese' and I'm happy for it. The food is pretty great. I'd come back.

Really nice interior decoration (kind of feels like I'm in old Shanghai) -- I've been to the one in SoHo and I think this is the superior location. More organized, less chaotic, better ambiance, and better menu items (though largely similar, there are slight variations in dim sum, dessert, and small plate offerings) Food highlights: Spicy Conch and Jelly Fish (5/5): loveeee this -- has a wonderful kick, the jelly fish and conch are super fresh (has a nice crunch and bounciness to them). Conch is also very sweet and the presentation is lovely. Crispy Lava (5/5): love this custard filled dimsum treat which we decided to get as dessert. Super crispy, not overly sweet. Be super cautious because the filling is piping hot and will explode as you bite down. Squirrel Fish (4/5): not the best I've had but still really good. Sauce has the right balance of sweet and sour, wish the fish was just a bit crispier. A shanghainese classic and definitely must try!

Elegantly decorated restaurant in the heart of flushing, NY. When you walk in, you get an ancient China vibe. It's reflected in their menu as well. You'll see references to different dynasties in China. Ordered the eel specialty- it is similar to the Peking duck dish where you wrap it with a glutinous rice paper? The fish stew was very good. It's sweet and sour (more sour) and a little creamy. The fish was thinly sliced with no bone. There's vermicelli in the stew but I would recommend ordering a rice on the side. The service is very fast. I was amazed how quickly our food came out. Pricier than average for a flushing establishment but the taste, quality, and service is on point! Also the bathroom is very clean!

Amazing decor, food presentation and ambiance, really takes you back to ancient China. Staff were nice and attentive. Came here with a friend on a Monday night and there were lots of seats available. Food was good, but very small portion size. Xiao long bao- fine 4/5 Garlic steamed butterfly shrimp- so flavorful, a bit oily 5/5 Qianlong's favorite eel- flavorful with very thin wrappers 5/5 Brown sugar sticky rice rolls- chewy and sweet (not overly sweet), 5/5

The interior was breathtaking! And the food was so unique if you know what to order. The hot stone braised rice was soooo good! Definitely a must! Amazing service - they will pack your leftovers for you.

I was in New York City to visit my parents in January 2024. Obviously, I then had to meet up with close friends that I don't normally get to see every day. One of my foodie friends and I decided to meet up. We always try to go to a new place that we both haven't tried - and we ended up here at Cheli. Cheli is a Chinese Restaurant (specifically Shanghainese) located in East Village (Manhattan) and Flushing (Queens). My friend, his girlfriend, and I went to the Flushing Location. According to their website, Che Li presents a distinctive dining experience, weaving together the rich tapestry of Song Dynasty banquet culture with the authentic and sophisticated flavors of Shanghai cuisine. Their culinary philosophy is deeply rooted in the heritage of Jiangnan--a region known for its delicate beauty, culinary finesse, and the origin of Shanghai's gastronomic excellence. Characterized by its subtle yet profound flavors, meticulous preparation, and elegant presentation, their cuisine pays tribute to this heritage while celebrating the refined communal spirit of Song Dynasty feasts. We were all super excited to try! Between the 3 of us, we tried the following: - Wine Soaked Chicken - Crab Meat and Pork Soup Dumplings - Sweet and Sour Crispy Eel - Nine Spiced Rabbit - Hot Stone Braised Rice (mushroom) - Sauteed Water Spinach - Black Sesame Sticky Rice Balls - Rose Lemonade Super fun and feels like an authentic experience. My friend had to order in Chinese - and I obviously pointed to the menu to order since my Chinese skills are limited. Never been to China but I would imagine the decor is pretty representative. Food, service, ambiance were A+. ENJOY!!
