Queenie's review of Blue Willow 夜来湘

Queenie
Midtown East, Manhattan
8.5
We were here for a birthday dinner in one of their private rooms upstairs. The decor and vibes are gorgeous - perfect for a special event or date night. This restaurant specializes in Hunan and Szechuan food. I will say that the dishes were not as spicy as expected; felt a little greasy at times, but that's rather on brand for cuisine in that area of China. Would recommend getting a couple of cold dishes to share and then a rice dish, some proteins, and veggies. Dishes I'd skip: crab and Peking duck
