Birds of a Feather is a beautiful spot tucked away in Williamsburg that really stands out for its atmosphere and design. The space has this perfect balance of industrial and modern décor exposed brick, soft lighting, and elegant touches that make it feel both stylish and welcoming. It’s one of those restaurants where you notice the details right away, from the furniture to the way the dishes are plated. I stopped in for their lunch special, which I thought was a great deal. The prices are fairly affordable considering the quality and the portions the servings are actually quite large, so you definitely won’t leave hungry. I ordered the chili fish, and it was excellent flavorful, fresh, and just the right level of spice. The food came out quickly, which I really appreciated during lunch hours. I also tried the egg and scallion stuffed pancake, which ended up being one of my favorite parts of the meal. It’s crispy, savory, and full of flavor the kind of dish that makes you want to come back just for that. Overall, Birds of a Feather is a great place for a relaxed but elevated meal in Williamsburg. Highly recommend checking it out, especially for lunch.

Really delicious Sichuan dishes. The menu isn’t overwhelmingly large but has a good variety. Twice cooked pork belly and chongqing chicken were both really great. Soup dumplings and duck fried rice were pretty standard but solid and the food comes out really quick even though the place was full. Worked out to about $50pp with only tea for drinks and before tip.

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in New York. The space is nicely decorated, comes with outdoor seatings. Service is fast. The food is the star of the show. The portions are large at this restaurant. The quality doesn't miss no matter if I dine in or order delivery. Chungking chicken comes with crunchy small chicken bites, loaded with chillies, packed with flavors and that mouth numbing spiciness. Kung pao chicken is tender, velvety texture. Spicy fish filled is my favorite dish; it's comes with small fried fish fillers, crunchy, perfect moisture level with that signature spiciness of szechuan chilies. Mapo tofu is also one of the must try dish, hot tofu on a bed of spicy ground pork sauce. It's perfect for any dinner meal. Spicy cumin lamb is absolutely the most tender and flavorful lamb I have had in a long time. Tea smoked duck offers juicy smoked duck slices, pairs well with buns and sauce. The restaurant can get really crowded during dinner time. It is suggested to get a reservation ahead of time or to stop by at odd hours to avoid waiting in line. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves to enjoy Chinese cuisine or just loves to incorporate chilies in their meals.

“In”-people go to Brooklyn, not to Manhattan anymore. Many excellent restaurants are found in that corner of the dense metropole. Among them birds of a feather, a Chinese-inspired cuisine of highest quality. The interior is cool with multiple individual tables and a major communal table in the center. The atmosphere is hectic but the staff remain calm and friendly. The food was outstanding with too many choices untested and requiring us to return in the future. (Originally posted by me on Yelp)

Truly remarkable experience, and amazing food. We got the Dan Dan noodles, beef bowl soup, and spicy fillet fish. Our host and server Lai makes the best lime ice tea, and is a very kind person who gave us the best service. Will definitely be coming back and letting friends know!

First of all, this place is beautiful! The aesthetic is on point. And the food doesn’t get behind. Loved the pork and the duck. Also felt the portions for the price were fair.

Beautiful lighting ! The food was amazing, I loved the soup buns. I also loved the pumpkin pie with red bean filling mmmmm ! Tried a new vegetable called Celtuce.

This is a sister restaurant of Cafe China (near Times Square) and is a slightly more upscale version of Cafe China. I like the ambience here much more. They have lots of outdoor as well as indoor seats. There’s a beautiful backstreet area with not much traffic, and it’s nice to sit there on a summer night. I really like the spring celtuce we had; even though it’s a standard dish, the shimeji mushrooms and wood ear mushrooms together with whole long red chilis and sliced garlic really enhanced the dish. For appetizer, the okra wrapped in bacon is truly delicious—I’ve never had this dish anywhere else and it’s a creative delight; the sauce is a little bit sweet (and not spicy) so I would say this is more “Peking duck style” rather than “Szechuan style”, nevertheless it’s really delicious! The pork tastes quite lean and absorbs the sauce perfectly. I really love the beef in chili oil dish! They have this dish at Cafe China but I don’t remember having kelp in it; the kelp really enhanced the favor and made it more complex; it tastes great! They use high-quality dry red chili. Portion size is great for the price. Great location.

I’ve been to Birds of a Feather four times now, and it never disappoints! The food is always so flavorful and cooked perfectly. It’s seriously one of my go-to spots. The staff is super helpful and attentive — they really make you feel taken care of. The vibe is chill but still kind of classy, which makes it a great place to hang out or go on a nice dinner. Highly recommend if you’re ever in Williamsburg!

The dishes were all flavorful with a perfect and balanced amount of Szechuan spice. We ordered an array of dishes and each one was better than the other. The atmosphere is simple and pretty, with a good service that’s attentive and kind. This makes it a great place for a dinner with friends. That explains why it is so popular and really packed, I would highly recommend you make a reservation. Would come again and recommend others to try it out.

One of the best Szechuan restaurants in NYC, without a doubt. The restaurant vibe is always very cool and the food tastes amazing. Love the fried fish and shredded beef.
