Best Restaurants for Spicy Food in Meatpacking District

The space is non descript and you may expect something more upscale with the name Sky Pavilion. However, once inside and you browse the very extensive menu, you recognize the authenticity of the food. We had the soup pork dumplings to start which were excellent. I went with the spicy mutton,...soooo soft and tasty. My grand had the American Chinese General Tso chicken….very moist and not too sweet. We both enjoyed the lobster fried rice. I definitely recommend the restaurant and will go back to the jewel on 42nd street.

This was a great place to meet friends for a late lunch. We were all pleased with our food. Highly recommend!

The food was incredible . Umami for sure. The staff was also amazing. The woman who seated and served us was extremely helpful and attentive to everyone in the restaurant at once. She ran that room like a pro to say the least. It was New Year's day as well the place was packed on a holiday and the staff was taking care of a full restaurant and take-out orders that seemed non stop for the 90 minutes we were there. They earned and deserved the Michelin star. And I loved the sketches of the restaurant that were hung throughout the restaurant among the many old photos . Will definitely be back soon.

Wonderful service, food, ambiance, cleanliness, and timeliness. Highly recommend!

I brought my neice for her 8th Birthday and it was a super special experience! Really made me feel like I got to show her a tiny piece of Tokyo. Obviously it is a themed restaurant so that is what you are there for. The food is ok but also plated so fun and creative that it made every dish that came out something to look forward to. The server was above and beyond in her hospitality and her costume was amazing! Highly recommend for a special occasion.
