You couldn't get near to your overpriced pie without gagging on the smell. ”

Fine, no worries, as there was a bar and my date ordered a mojito, which he said was "the best mojito [he's] ever had" because it contained real sugarcane. Too bad we didn't leave then while we still had a good impression of the restaurant. When we were f ”

The food was only so-so; various table waiters, most of whom barely understood English, kept interrupting our conversation to remove dishes that we didn't want to have removed and repeatedly poured flat Fidji water into glasses filled with San Pellegrino; ”

It also has a small bar at the entrance which is nice for cozy night-outs and the so-called Chef's tables are great for eating while watching the busy life in the kitchen. ”

Black pepper shrimp is my favorite! ”

Tried 4 different appetizers:The spring rolls were just perfect, Mussels like a dream, the fried hot chicken wings just awsome and the Samosas were just spot on! ”
- “
With each course that was brought out starting with the appetizer, one dish after the other, I felt like the chef was challenging me to a dare, instigating my tolerance for abysmal food until I finally reached my threshold after tasting the "Shrimp Dumpli ”

- “
The food was nothing special, and the fish entree was too spicy, it overpowered any other subtle flavors that would have made the dish acceptable. ”
- “
Surprisingly, I think my favorite was the ginger rice - amazing! ”

All the flavors are authentic but with a upscale twist. ”
- “
Neither of us are picky eaters but we do expect a decent meal at such a well known restaurant in the city, especially one owned by Jean George. ”

The food all together was poor; try some real samosas and pork vindaloo and than come back to this place and you will know what I am talking about. ”

Halibut was tasty, but the Laksa had undercooked shrimp, and the soups were sub-par. ”

Spice Market fails in its effort to provide unique asian fusion dishes that actually are edible and tasty. ”

Overall, I'd say the chicken wings and the curry duck were my favorite. ”
- “
The food was excellent and the wait staff were attentive and very nice. ”
- “
Excellent atmosphere and some pretty decent dishes ”

The dining room reminded us of the Pirates of the Carribean, the waiter told us that the Duck WAS traditional crispy skin Peking style (came braised in a terracotta pot) and the basil noodle dish was so horrible- I begged them to take it away. ”

The food comes out as the kitchen likes, and it is all meant to be shared, which is awkward. ”

The food is excellent. ”
- “
It's hard to enjoy the food when you have to beg the manager to rescue your friend from standing out in the cold. ”
- “
The food is full of flavor and the ambience is energizing. ”
- “
Besides the food was disgusting and like another city search member said it was food you could get from a street vendor. ”

Although the place is beautiful and the service and atmosphere was great the food was mediocre at best. ”

The rice came with the dishes but the entrees were terrible as it was. ”

unfortunate mix of great ambience and bad food. ”

Everything has clean and spicy flavors, but not overpowered as you can taste every ingredient. ”

All this Asian "fusion" craze leaves one feeling like they should've went to an authentic Thai or Indian restaurant for probably 1/3 of the price of Spice Market. ”
- “
love spicy food, so I told the waitress to make mine really spice, and she reassured me it already is spicy, but it was not. ”
- “
The food is weird and not delicious, and we were referring to our server as the Stepford waitress before we had even ordered. ”
- “
enjoyed it, though I agree, if you don't care about the scene and just want to have good Asian food with nice wine (or sake), there are many other choices in New York. ”
- “
The chicken was very moist and juicy with lots of good flavor due to the heavy spices on top. ”
- “
Spice Market offers great atmosphere and drinks but fails to offer good and tasty food. ”
- “
Great atmosphere, good food, but service not good! ”

The shrimp and scallop dish, which had only one scallop, was so brackish and ill prepared that my girlfriend didnt finish a third of it and my curry duck was cold enough to have me send it back. ”

The food is remarkably delicious. ”

- “
great atmosphere, good food. ”
- “
The really excellent dishes were the ones that weren't trying to be too hard to be authentic: the green papaya salad was fantastic, with the interesting addition of crystalized ginger. ”
- “
If you like Asian food you'll love this place. ”

typical blunders included lack of water refills, mismanagement of space on the table, didn't check how our food was, took FOREVER to get the check, snooty attititude, etc etc. ”

The food was delicious but not phenomenal. ”

We hardly saw him during the meal- gave some of his tip to the fabulous busser. ”
- “
The food is very tasty. ”
- “
Horrible Service, rude management, rude host, mediocre food ”
- “
The Black Pepper Shrimp is also a great powerful dish too. ”

The food was only so-so; various table waiters, most of whom barely understood English, kept interrupting our conversation to remove dishes that we didn't want to have removed and repeatedly poured flat Fidji water into glasses filled with San Pellegrino; ”
- “
Perhaps if the food had been good we would have wanted more. ”

Their food (NOT your run-of-the-mill Asian food) is great and the homemade ginger ale is amazing! ”
- “
Yes, the atmosphere and scene can be good, but the food and service are way below average for a restaurant this popular. ”

Once seated, we opted for the chefs tasting menu, which started off interesting, but ended with lots of main entrees sold out, so we were stuck with dry chicken. ”

The food was just as good as the service. ”
- “
If you like 66 you'll love Spice Market, as both have reasonable family style food served in an awesome space. ”
- “
Everything on the menu looked mouth-watering, so we asked our excellent waitress to select for us, which was a top idea as the food she chose was delicious. ”
- “
Pepper shrimp and drinks were great! ”
- “
Tasting more like a watery stock fragranted solely with celery and topped with a bushel of unchopped dill, the soup was inedible. ”
- “
Needless to say, the food did not disappoint and we stuffed ourselves to a point where we didn't have space for dessert:( ”
- “
We could not say on any of the dishes that it tastes amazing, maximum nice, and some not even nice (the lobster role did not taste like lobster, the samosa was tasteless. ”

The food is simply awful. ”

Spice Market has the most delicious cocktails and is a beautifully designed space. ”

It is absolutely amazing to me how a restaurant of such magnitude still remains in business after serving such horrible food. ”
- “
The first few times I came here it was usually for brunch on Sundays and the service was excellent, only being trumped by the delicious food. ”
- “
The food is not impressive for what one expects going into a Jean Georges restaurant and thusly, should be priced more accordingly. ”
- “
Even in the gross thai place on my street they warn you about the spicy-ness ”
- “
If you are looking for good food i wouldn't go. ”

Spice Market is our favorite restaurant - you will never have a bad meal! ”

The other dishes were either decent (Chicken/Cocounut soup, shaved tuna, monkfish), or downright horrible (the short rib dish was perhaps the worst I have ever eaten. ”
- “
Every dish was flavorful, colorfully presented, and spicy! ”
- “
the ginger friend rice is beyond amazing, and the chicken dish we had as our entree was also delicious and quite large. ”
- “
The "Mushroom Egg Rolls" were no crowd-pleaser either, wrapped in deep-fried generic store bought dough, served along side a drippy yogurt sauce which tasted like stale milk laced with cilantro. ”
- “
The only good dish is the tuna tapioca. ”
- “
The food was pretty authentic - there was a Tom Yum soup (they called it Tomato Egg Drop), great sticky coconut rice, and fresh cod in chili sauce. ”
- “
My first bad food experience in NYC and it was sad ”

The yogurt sauce was good though. ”
