Details
This new Manhattan food hall, Golden Mall, offers a variety of Chinese cuisine and bubble tea, aiming to bring a diverse culinary experience to the Financial District. While some vendors like Zhengxin Chicken Steak and Xing Fu Tang are present, the overall offering and value have been a point of discussion among visitors. It's a relatively new addition, with more vendors expected to join in the future.
Food Overview
The food at Golden Mall is primarily Chinese, featuring dim sum, noodles, fried chicken, and Peking duck, alongside bubble tea and chicken steak from specific vendors. While some dishes like Peking duck and dry noodles received positive mentions, others like dim sum (har gao, siu mai) and beef noodle soup were criticized for blandness and poor quality. Dumplings were described as thick, and roast pork was noted as expensive [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7].
Caveats
The restaurant is a new addition to the area, and some vendors may not always be open. Prices are generally considered high for the quality offered, especially compared to other Chinese food options in the city.
